CHECK-UP QUESTIONS:
1. What comprises the financial statements of a business?
Balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements; and statements of shareholders’ equity.
Balance sheets show what a company owns and what it owes at a fixed point in time. Income
statements show how much money a company made and spent over a period of time. Cash flow
statements show the exchange of money between a company and the outside world also over a period
of time. The fourth financial statement, called a “statement of shareholders’ equity,” shows changes in
the interests of the company’s shareholders over time.
2. How can balance sheet be presented?
Balance sheets are typically presented in two different forms. In the report form, asset accounts are
listed first, with the liability and owners' equity accounts listed in sequential order directly below the
assets. In the account form, the balance sheet is organized in a horizontal manner, with the asset
accounts listed on the left side and the liabilities and owner’s equity accounts listed on the right side.
The term balance sheet originates from this latter form: when the left and right sides have been
completed, they should sum to the same dollar amount. In other words, they should balance.
If assets are classified based on their convertibility into cash, assets are classified as either
current assets or fixed assets. An alternative expression of this concept is short-term vs. long-
term assets. Current assets are assets that can be easily converted into cash and cash
equivalents (typically within a year). Non-current assets are assets that cannot be easily and
readily converted into cash and cash equivalents. If assets are classified based on their physical
existence, assets are classified as either tangible assets or intangible assets. Tangible assets are
assets with physical existence (we can touch, feel, and see them). Intangible assets are assets
that lack physical existence. If assets are classified based on their usage or purpose, assets are
classified as either operating assets or non-operating assets. Operating assets are assets that
are required in the daily operation of a business. Non-operating assets are assets that are not
required for daily business operations but can still generate revenue.
