Construct a chart of accounts, assigning account numbers and arranging the accounts in balance sheet and income statement order, as illustrated in Exhibit 7. Each account number is three digits: the first digit is to indicate the major classification (1 for assets, and so on); the second digit is to indicate the subclassification (11 for current assets, and so on); and the third digit is to identify the specific account (110 for Cash, 112 for Accounts Receivable, 114 for Merchandise Inventory, 115 for Store Supplies, and so on).

Note: The order and number of some of the accounts within subclassifications is
somewhat arbitrary, as in accounts 115–117, accounts 520–524, and accounts
530–534. For example, in a new business, the order of magnitude expense
account balances often cannot be determined in advance. The magnitude may
also vary from period to period.
