검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand that accrued expenses are expenses that have been incurred but not yet paid by the end of the accounting period.
Recognize that accrued expenses create a liability because the company owes money for these expenses, even though payment has not been made yet.
Identify the balance sheet accounts affected: accrued expenses increase liabilities (such as 'expenses payable').
Know that expenses reduce net income, which in turn reduces retained earnings, a component of equity.
Therefore, the adjusting entry for accrued expenses increases liabilities and decreases equity (via reduced retained earnings), without affecting assets.
