TRIAL BALANCE
DOCUMENTS PRIME ENTRY ACCOUNTS
The Trial Balance
(TB)
At suitable intervals, the entries in each ledger account are totaled and a balance is struck. Balances are usually
collected in a trial balance which is then used as a basis for preparing a statement of profit or loss and a statement of
financial position.
A trial balance is a list of ledger balances shown in debit and credit columns.
Steps to prepare the Trial Balance (TB):

► Step 2: Balance ledger accounts
► Step 3: Collect the balances
► Step 4: Check and reconcile

Statements
STATEMENT OF PROFIT AND LOSS
A profit or loss ledger account is opened up to gather all items relating to income and expenses. When rearranged,
these items make up the statement of profit or loss.
The balances on all remaining ledger accounts (including the profit or loss account) can be listed and rearranged to
form the statement of financial position.
These remaining accounts must also be balanced and ruled off, but since they represent assets and liabilities of the
business (not income and expenses) their balances are not transferred to the P/L account. Instead they are carried
down in the books of the business. This means that they become opening balances for the next accounting period
and indicate the value of the assets and liabilities at the end of one period and the beginning of the next.

Sales tax is an indirect tax levied on the sale of goods and services. It is usually administered by the local tax
authorities.
Some sales tax is irrecoverable. Where sales tax is irrecoverable it must be regarded as part of the cost of the

The Broad Categories of
Ratios
To help you to understand liquidity ratios, it is useful to begin with a brief explanation of the cash cycle. The
cash cycle describes the flow of cash out of a business and back into it again as a result of normal trading
operations.
The Cash
Cycle
Cash goes out to pay for supplies, wages and salaries and other expenses, although payments can be
delayed by taking some credit. A business might hold inventory for a while and then sell it. Cash will come
back into the business from the sales, although customers might delay payment by themselves taking some
credit.
The main points about the cash cycle are as follows:
► Cash flows out can be postponed by taking credit. Cash flows in can be delayed by having receivables
► The time between making a purchase and making a sale also affects cash flows
► Holding inventories and having payables can therefore be seen as two reasons why cash receipts are
delayed.
► Similarly, taking credit from creditors can be seen as a reason why cash payments are delayed.
The liquidity ratios and working capital turnover ratios are used to test a company's liquidity, length of
cash cycle and investment in working capital.
