A sundry account is a corporate account typically used for recording miscellaneous items for which an appropriate account has not yet been established. Sundry accounts are usually temporary or in-process accounts, meaning they must be cleared to a zero balance (total debits must equal total credits) at the end of each accounting period.
should revenue accounts begin each accounting period with zero balance
give the revenue and expense accounts zero balance
No
Assets: current assets (incl. cash, accounts receivable, inventory) and non-current assets (intangable, tangable and investment types) which equal total asset. Liabilities: current liabilities (incl. provisions, debt, accounts payable, accruels) and non-current liabilities (incl. long-term debt, payables and provisions) which make up the total liability. If the company is limited liability then owners equity, which includes capital and retained earnings. Total asset less total liability and owners equity should equal zero. That is: TA - (TL + Equity) = 0. Where TA is total asset and TL is total liability. ~MB
0 - 20 equals -20. Like a debt that can only be cleared by adding 20
All employers can ask that with zero liability.
As you accrue expenses, they show up as a CREDIT on the balance sheet, and a DEBIT on the income statement. Then as you actually incur the expense and pay out, you would CREDIT your cash account, and DEBIT the accrued liability account on the balance sheet. For example, if you expect to spend $12,000/year on business travelling expenses, you would accrue $1000 monthly as a CREDIT to your accrued liability account (on the balance sheet), then a DEBIT to the expense account (on the income statement). When you actually do incur the expense and pay out, you CREDIT your cash account, and DEBIT the accrued liability account. Thus, the accrued liability account is cleared out and eventually washed out to zero.
The balances in all temporary accounts are transferred to the capital or the retained earnings account, leaving the temporary accounts with zero balances. This procedure is necessary to determine a periodic net income (or loss) and prepare books for the next period.
