1) which balance day adjustments are classified as current liabilities in the balance sheet ?
2) cartage outwards is transferred to what ledger account in the balance sheet?
solution 1)
Before reaching to the conclusion we must know what is "balance day" and balance day "adjusment" ?
The last day or end of a period is called a balance day.
Balance day adjustments are the adjustments entries made in revenue and expense accounts on balance day (last day or end of period ) to make equal revenue earned and expenses incurred.
BALANCE DAY ADJUSTMENTS WHICH ARE CLASSIFIED AS CURRENT LIABILITIES IN BALANCE SHEET:-
1. accounts payable ( amount which is payable to vendors or suppliers )
2. accrued expenses
3. short term notes
4. deferred revenue
5. long term debt ( only current portion i.e .. principle payments which are to be maded within one year )
solution 2)
** carriage outwards **** ( not cartage )
let first know what is carriage outwards ?
carriage outward is the handling cost that a seller is incurring to ship goods to customers . ( eg. delivery expense )
carriage outwards must be appeared on the income statement as an operating expense in the same period in which sale took place .
