accounting these expenses are generally debited to single

record all these petty expenses.

Miscellaneous small or infrequent costs that are not
assigned to individual ledger accounts but are classified as
a group.

Incidental expense of a business, not classified as
manufacturing, selling, or general and administrative

operating income. Miscellaneous expenses are immaterial. A
