Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

Southern Company's accountant failed to accrue some fringe benefit program expenses that were incurred in 2016 which lead to understating of current liabilities which in turn increases the current ratio i.e overstating the current ratio at 12/31/16.

This also leads to understating of expenses which in turn raises the Return on income and Return on equity i.e Overstating ROI & ROE for the year ended 12/31/16.
