Usually a liability on the balance sheet that shows up because the company had to take an expense and record it on the income statement before the payment was due. A common example is utilities. A company has to include the phone, gas, and electric expense for December in the annual income statement, but the bill does not have to be paid until January. The agglomerate depreciation company records the budget, reducing income, and then, rather than reducing cash, increases the acquired liability on the balance sheet. In January when the company pays the bill, the liability and cash are minimized
