How do you calculate gross equity?
Owner's Equity = Contributed Capital ± Retained Earnings Contributed capital is money that has been contributed to a company by its owners or by a direct investment made by stockholders in a corporation. A company would have stockholders if that company sells shares or stock. Retained earnings is a companys' accumulated profits that have been put back or reinvested into the company. Some examples of retained earnings are supplies expense, rent expense, wages expense, interest expense, utilities expense, sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and depreciation expense. A return on equity (ROE) is the net income divided by stockholders' equity. Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

Accrued rent expense is a liability?
Accrued rent expense is classified as an Expense. It's not classified as a liability. Expenses are paid out of "Revenue" and they affect "Retained Earnings". When you do a Trial Balance before closing out your accounts, Expenses are actually listed with Assets, because all "Expenses" contain a debit balance.There is only one reason an expense would be listed as a liability and that is if you post the transaction before paying it and then the account "Expense Payable" is used and is a liability as it is a "Payable" and actually is not listed with the term "expense" in it. For example if you have Rent Expense, then the two accounts used are Rent Expense and Rent Payable. Notice the "liability" account is actually titled "rent payable" not "rent expense".The term accrued is merely the term used in Accrual Accounting, which simply means that all transactions are recorded as they occur or "accrue" as opposed to cash basis accounting where transactions are recorded only when cash is paid out or received.In actuality if you are trying to classify your accounts, such as the question, classify the following accounts as either an Asset, Liability or Owners Equity Account, Expenses will be classified as an Owners Equity Account as they affect Retained Earnings, which in turn affects Owners Equity (stockholders equity).
