Answer:

Error A

Assets will be Overstated by $3,000

Asset was never subtracted from assets so assets are overstated

Liabilities - No effect

Net Income - Overstated by $3,000

As insurance expense was not deducted from Net Income

Retained Earnings - Overstated by $3,000

As insurance expense was not deducted from Net Income

Error B

Assets - Understated by $500

Accrued revenue is an asset and so not recording it understates assets

Liabilities - No effect

Net Income - Understated by $500

This is revenue so not recording it would reduce net income.

Retained Earnings - Understated by $500
