B) only 1
C) 1 and 3
D)only 3Please explain the answer
The invoice should have been accrued for at 30 June 2006. It has not been recorded and so purchases are understated, which means cost of sales are understated and therefore the profit has been overstated. It has been recorded in the following year when it should not have been, which means cost of sales for year to June 2007 are overstated and therefore the profit is understated.
