Why miscellaneous expenses treated on asset side?
Expenses are listed on the "Asset" side because the expenses effect Revenue (or income). Because Income is an Owners Equity account and is increased with a credit, expenses must be listed in the debit column. Also remember the accounting equation; Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity) The short answer, you want to deduct all your expenses from your equity (revenue account), the only way you can do that is to list expenses on the asset side, if you listed them in liabilities you would have to "Add" the to your revenue (equity account) and you would not get an accurate Revenue amount. When you pay an expense you credit the amount of cash at the same time you debit the expense. When closing out your accounts you can then list expenses on the income statement and it will decrease revenue because Assets - Owners Equity = Liabilities. This is true with all expenses, not just Miscellaneous. Basically, it keeps the accounting equation in balance.
