Note: The order of some of the accounts within the major classifications is
somewhat arbitrary, as in accounts 13–14, accounts 21–22, and accounts 51–53.
In a new business, the order of magnitude of balances in such accounts is not
determinable in advance. The magnitude may also vary from period to period.
