isn't that was "contigency" costs are allocated for on the balance sheet? I have not had time to be on here and see you delete posts . . . because I'm out skiing all day . . . so, could you please explain this to me . . . I would really appreciate it!!!!"

revenue & expense accounts are on a p&l not a balance sheet....balance sheet is a=l+c

Obviously, neither are you. It's been years since I had to study this stuff... but perhaps I can at least lay out the most basic equations.

Assets are assets.
Liabilities are liabilities.

Surplus = Assets - Liab.

ContiNgencies are contingent (do you see where it comes from?) upon an event occuring, or failing to occur.

re-read your bolded text. 'isn't that was'... 'contigency'... I hope you're not a product of the Huntington school system (I am, at least for K-6).

Assets = Liabilities + Capital on the balance sheet.

Contingencies are accrued for on the balance sheet.

wrong! the term she used is "costs" cost=expense. there are only two types of accounts on an income statement: revenue & expense ie cost....contingency cost is still a cost....if the account were on a balance sheet then it would be either an asset or liability....believe me little people i know this stuff:beer:

I'd say the vast majority of people ae not exactly financial professionals. Hell, most of them are exactly not financial professionals.

And so, here's a picture of a bunny with Oolong on its head. Because, you know, I have no idea what yu're talking about.

I'm still trying to figure that out, along with the purpose of the thread in general??? :???:


dood mrs g & I go way back to the 90s....mrsg worked at an investment co (easiest description) she was the right hand of the ceo....she was there 25+ years or so....when i first met her (remember i have a very very long history in finance & know how things work) she starts sprouping off all this crap, and I mean crap, as usual she knew nothing. she then went about telling every person she could that i was a dirt bag etc. the only dirt bag is that drunk idiot that she is....
