Sales Returns and Allowances is a contra income account.
Sales Returns and Allowances are contra revenue accounts because they reduce that total amount of sales. [Sales-Sales returns and allowances=Net sales]. They are reported on the income statement.
By measuring with a tape and marking with a pencil or marker.
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.
