Under Assets….
Sales is NOT an asset.
COGS NOT an asset
Investment Revenue is NOT an asset

Under Liabilities…all your expense are NOT liabilities (such as selling expense, admin expense, interest expense)

Also, Extraordinary Gain is NOT a liability


Notes:
All your Revenue and Expenses accounts go on your INCOME STATEMENT, not your balance sheet.

Then, you add your net income to retained earnings (or subtract for a net loss)

What are current assets? Would Long term notes payable be considered a current liability?
