Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The income statement (bad debts expense and net income), the statement of changes in shareholders' equity (net income and retained earnings) and the balance sheet (allowance for uncollectible accounts, current assets and total assets, and retained earnings) will be impacted by underestimating bad debts expense. This treatment is not ethical.
