    a. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $9,880

    Sales (Cr.) $9,880

    If not adjusted it will have impact on revenue in Income statement being understated and Receivables being understated in the balance sheet by the amount of $9,800.

    b. Notes Receivable (Dr.) $650

    Interest Income (Cr.) $650

    If not adjusted this will have effect on Income statement in the incomes being understated and ultimately decrease in net income and in balance sheet it will understate the receivables (assets) by the amount of $650.

    a. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $9,880

    Sales (Cr.) $9,880

    b. Notes Receivable (Dr.) $650
