Does an increase in expense increase assets?

An increase in expenses typically does not increase assets; rather, it reduces net income, which can lead to a decrease in retained earnings within equity. When expenses are incurred, cash or other assets may be used to pay for those costs, potentially leading to a decrease in assets. However, if the expenses are related to investments in assets (like purchasing equipment), then those specific expenditures can increase assets. Overall, the relationship depends on the nature of the expenses incurred.
