### 2) Overall Impact on Net Income if Adjustments are Omitted
If these adjustments are omitted, the following impacts on net income will occur:
- **Salaries Expense (a):** Not recording Rs. 135,000 will overstate net income.
- **Depreciation Expense (b):** Not recording Rs. 50,000 will also overstate net income.
- **Office Supplies Expense (c):** Not recognizing Rs. 23,000 used will overstate net income.
- **Interest Income (d):** Not recording Rs. 16,000 will understate income, but the omission leads to an overall overstatement of net income.
- **Utility Expense (e):** Not recording Rs. 18,500 will overstate net income.
- **Interest Expense (f):** Not recording Rs. 10,000 will lead to overstatement of net income.
### Total Impact on Net Income
- Total expenses omitted (a, b, c, e, f) = Rs. 135,000 + Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 23,000 + Rs. 18,500 + Rs. 10,000 = **Rs. 236,500**
- Total income omitted (d) = Rs. 16,000
Thus, the overall impact on net income if adjustments are omitted would result in an **overstatement of net income by Rs. 236,500 (total expenses omitted) - Rs. 16,000 (income omitted) = Rs. 220,500**.
Hence, the omission of these adjustments will lead to an overstatement of the net income by Rs. 220,500.
