Answer:The income statements shows the breakdown of the expenses. The various main expense items of operating income are: cost of revenues/goods sold, R&D expenses, sales and marketing expenses. All other expenses are general expenses (administrative, overhead, etc).

General expenses, just like any other expenses, are neither an asset, nor a liability.

General expenses can be the result of a decline in the value of an asset (payment of cash, depreciation of value of an asset), or an increase in a liability (electricity bills payable, etc).

Are advertising expenses is considered an asset or liability?

it is an assetAlternate answerAdvertising expenses enhance the brand name of a company. The market value of a company might very well increase as a result of advertising. Accounting principles (US GAAP and IFRS) nevertheless do not recognize marketing expenditures as an asset, because the future benefits may not be measured realibly. In short: marketing expenses are not an asset, but are expensed instead.Note: advertising expenses may result in a liability (accounts payable) if the company still needs to pay the advertising company. The liability disappears when the bills have been paid.
