is his personal assets and expenses and these transaction will not effect the
income and expenditure of LGI.
3) Case of sued for $ 1,00,000 for providing substandard seating at the concert
is a contingent liability as is not yet decided by the court and pending for
adjudicated. So it may assumed the company is not likely considered as
expenses till end of 2019.
4) It is assumed there is no any suppies at the end of the year. That is all supplies
consumed and need to expensed out.
5) Dividend is not an expenses, it is the distribution of profit out of earning retained
and earned, So it should be debit (reduced) from retained earning.

expenses when economic benefits of this expenditure shall be confirmed. It is
