To determine whether each item belongs on the balance sheet or the income statement, and to identify the appropriate category for balance sheet items, we need to understand the nature of each item. Here's the breakdown:

  1. Accounts receivable

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Current Assets
  2. Retained earnings

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Equity
  3. Income tax expense

    • Income Statement
  4. Accrued expenses

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Current Liabilities
  5. Cash

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Current Assets
  6. Selling and administrative expenses

    • Income Statement
  7. Plant and equipment

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Non-current Assets (or Property, Plant, and Equipment)
  8. Operating expenses

    • Income Statement
  9. Marketable securities

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Current Assets
  10. Interest expense

    • Income Statement
  11. Sales

    • Income Statement
  12. Notes payable (6 months)

    • Category: Current Liabilities
  13. Bonds payable, maturity 45 years

    • Balance Sheet
    • Category: Non-current Liabilities
  14. Common stock

This classification is based on standard accounting principles where the balance sheet reflects a company's financial position at a specific point in time, and the income statement shows the company's financial performance over a period.
