Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between direct and indirect expenses?
Direct expenses are related to production or purchase of goods (recorded in Trading A/c), while indirect expenses are related to office, administration, and selling (recorded in P&L A/c).
Why does the Balance Sheet not have debit and credit sides?
The Balance Sheet is a statement, not an account. Therefore, it has 'Liabilities' on the left side and 'Assets' on the right side instead of debit and credit.
Where does closing stock appear if it is given inside the Trial Balance?
If closing stock is given inside the Trial Balance, it appears only on the asset side of the Balance Sheet because it has already been adjusted against purchases.
