Point to Direct Expense	These four groups Direct Income Direct Expenses Indirect Income Indirect Expense have similar features. They have no opening balance.
	I will explain the minor difference between them.
/*Slide 6*/ Direct Expense	Direct expenses are expenses related to production and purchasing of goods.
Direct Income	Direct Income is earned from the business or for the services provided.
Indirect Expense	Indirect Expenses are expenses incurred after the manufacturing process is over.
Indirect Income	Indirect income is one that is earned by way of non-business activities. eg. sale of old newspaper, sale of cartons.
