Expenses

called expenses. Expenses are assets that
have been used up, consumed, or expired.
Adding expenses to the stockholders’ equity
section results in a space problem. To adjust
for these added headings, the word “Bal.” has
been omitted from Slides 50, 52, 54, and 56.
The bottom row in these four slides provides
the balances after each transaction.
