Preparation of Financial Statements
Preparation of Financial Statements
This financial statement shows the company’s performance for a given period. It
contains the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the business. When the
revenues exceed the total amount of expenses, the business has net income. If the
expenses exceed the revenues, there is a net loss. If the amount of expenses is equal
to total revenues, the scenario is called “breakeven point”
Notice in the heading the phrase “for the month ended”. This is an important part of
the heading that tells the users of information that the details in this financial
statement are only for that specific period.
The ₱15,500 is labelled as net income since the total revenues is greater than the
aggregate expenses.
There is also a phrase on the last line of the heading that says “in Philippine Peso”.
This line is not really required. This is put on the heading to do away with putting the
peso sign to the amounts. If your financial statement doesn’t have that line, you shall
still put the peso sign.
Notice also the double rule below the amount of the net income/ net loss.

II. Statement of Changes in Equity
This financial statement shows the increase or decrease of the owner’s equity. The
increase in equity or capital is brought about by the net income and additional
investment. The decrease, on the other hand, is brought about by net loss and
withdrawals.
Notice that the net income is added to the beginning capital. If the result of operation
is a net loss, the amount shall be deducted from the beginning capital.
The withdrawal is deducted from the subtotal to get the ending capital. If it is an
additional investment, it will be added to the subtotal.
The ₱1,328,500 is the ending capital for the month of January and will therefore be
the beginning capital next month.
The Balance Sheet contains the three (3) elements namely assets, liabilities, and
capital. The total amount of assets must be equal to the sum of the total liabilities
and capital.
This financial statement shows the company’s financial condition and will help the
users of financial information assess the company’s ability to pay its debts.

OWNER'S EQUITY
The kind of presentation above is called the “Report Form”. This way of presenting
the Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet arranges assets, liabilities and
capital in a vertical manner. Another way of presenting the Balance Sheet is called
the “Account Form” wherein assets are placed on the left side while the liabilities
and capital are on the right side.
Notice that the sum of total liabilities and equity amounting to ₱1,848,500 is equal
to the total amount of assets. This is exactly the representation of the basic
accounting equation, A = L + C.

On the heading, there is a phrase “as of January 31, 2020”. This phrase tells the users
that the balances in the report are cumulative—meaning, from the beginning up to
the present.
The ₱190,000 encircled figure above is the difference of ₱200,000 (machinery) and
₱10,000 (accumulated depreciation). The accumulated depreciation is deducted
from its related asset since it is a contra-asset account.
The capital of ₱1,328,500 shown in the Balance Sheet is actually taken from the
Statement of Changes in Equity.
