Balance sheet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Balance Sheet)

A balance sheet, in formal bookkeeping and accounting, is a statement of the book value of a business or other organization or person at a particular date, at the end of a period such as a "fiscal year," as distinct from an income statement, also known as a profit and loss account (P&L), which records revenue and expenses over a specified period of time.

A balance sheet is often described as a "snapshot" of the company's financial condition on a given date. Of the four basic financial statements, the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time, instead of a period of time.

A simple business operating entirely in cash could measure its profits by simply withdrawing the entire bank balance at the end of the period, plus any cash in hand. However, real businesses are not paid immediately; they build up inventories of goods to sell and they acquire buildings and equipment. In other words: businesses have assets and so they could not, even if they wanted to, immediately turn these into cash at the end of each period. Real businesses also owe money to suppliers and to tax authorities, and the proprietors do not withdraw all their original capital and profits at the end of each period. In other words businesses also have liabilities.

A modern balance sheet usually has three parts: assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity. The main categories of assets are usually listed first and are followed by the liabilities. The difference between the assets and the liabilities is known as the 'net assets' or the 'net worth' of the company.

The net assets shown by the balance sheet equals the third part of the balance sheet, which is known as the shareholders' equity. This balance is not a coincidence. Records of the values of each account in the balance sheet are maintained using a system of accounting known as double-entry bookkeeping.

Balance Sheet Structure

The following Balance Sheet structure is just an example. It does not show all possible kinds of assets, equity and liabilities, but it shows the most usual ones. Because it shows Goodwill it could be a consolidated balance sheet. Monetary values are not shown, summary (total) rows are missing as well.

Equity valuation

The real value to a purchaser of the business or a shareholder may be different from the net assets shown by the balance sheet. This is because factors that affect the value of a business may not be recorded yet. For example, a purchaser will be interested in the future earnings of the business, whether assets such as property have been revalued recently, and whether there are potential liabilities in the future such as lawsuits. The value of the assets in the balance has also been based on the assumption that the business is a going concern, otherwise the break-up value of the assets may be far less than the value in the balance sheet.

Constructing a Balance Sheet

Case Study

1.1
A new business starts up as a limited company called Sunrise Ltd by raising $10,000 from the owners i.e. share holders. The money is put in to a new bank account. What would the assets, liabilities and equity be?

Assets:Bank Balance            10,000
Equity & Liabilities:Share Capital           10,000

1.2
They then use 6,000 of its bank account to buy a delivery van. Assets and liabilities after this transaction:

Assets:Bank Balance             4,000Delivery Van             6,000
Equity & Liabilities:Share Capital           10,000

1.3
Sunrise Ltd then buys some inventory at 3,000 on credit. Assets and liabilities after this transaction:

Assets:Bank Balance             4,000Delivery Van             6,000Inventory                3,000
Liabilities:Accounts Payable         3,000  (to be paid to creditors)
Equity:Share Capital           10,000

Total assets must always equal total liabilities (and equity). It is inevitable as the liabilities (and equity) are providing the funds that we are spending on these assets.

1.4
Shortly afterwards, after selling 1,000 of inventory for 2,500, payment of 2,600 of the accounts payable and the purchase of 2,200 of machinery financed by a 2,200 bank loan, the assets and liabilities change to the following:

Sunrise Ltd.Balance SheetAs of December 31, 2005-----------------------------------
Fixed AssetsDelivery Van             6,000Machinery                2,200-----------------------------------Total fixed assets                    8,200
Current AssetsBank Balance             1,400Inventory                2,000Accounts Receivable      2,500-----------------------------------Total                    5,900
Accounts Payable           400-----------------------------------Net current assets                    5,500
Long-Term LiabilitiesLoans Repayable          2,200-----------------------------------Total Long Term Liabilities           2,200-----------------------------------NET ASSETS                           11,500-----------------------------------
Shareholders' EquityShare Capital           10,000Retained profits         1,500-----------------------------------TOTAL SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY           11,500-----------------------------------


Points to note:
 

  • Must be headed with the name of the reporting entity (e.g. Sunrise Ltd) and the date.
  • The van has not been depreciated and there are no other trading expenses
  • The terms 'Current Liability' and 'Long-Term Liability' are the traditional names possibly used by sole traders or partnerships. Limited companies may use the phrases 'Liabilities: Amounts falling due within 1 year' and 'Liabilities: Amounts falling due after 1 year'.
  • The Total Equity may also be called the 'Net Worth'.
  • The Net Worth is in principle what the company is worth, it shows the monetary amount that would effectively be left, if all assets were sold and all liabilities paid off.
