The Balance Sheet

• Balance Sheet A report showing a firm’s assets, liabilities, and

owners’ equity at a specific point in time Total Assets = Debt + Owner’s equity



10–11

10.3 The Balance Sheet: An Overview

• Current Assets (Working Capital) Assets that can be converted to cash within the firm’s

operating cycle Cash

Currency and negotiable instruments

Accounts receivable Amount of credit extended to customers that is currently

outstanding

Inventory Raw materials and products held in anticipation of sale



10.4 The Working Capital Cycle

The Balance Sheet: Fixed Assets

• Fixed Assets (Plant, Property, and Equipment) Relatively permanent resources intended for use in

the business (not for resale)

• Depreciable Assets Assets whose value declines (depreciates) over time

• Gross Fixed Assets Original cost of depreciable assets before any

depreciation expense has been taken

• Accumulated Depreciation Total depreciation expense taken over the assets’ life


The Balance Sheet: Fixed Assets (cont’d)• Net Fixed Assets

Gross fixed assets less accumulated depreciation

• Other Assets Assets other than current assets and fixed assets,

such as patents, copyrights, and goodwill that have an estimated value


The Balance Sheet: Debt

• Debt Business financing provided by a creditor

• Current Debt (Short-Term Liabilities) Accounts payable: trade credit payable to suppliers Accrued expenses: short-term liabilities incurred but not paid Short-term notes: Cash amounts borrowed that must be

repaid within a short period of time

• Long-Term Debt Loans and mortgages with maturities greater than

one year


The Balance Sheet: Debt (cont’d)

• Mortgage A long-term loan from a creditor for which real estate

is pledged as collateral.

The Fit of the Income Statement and Balance Sheet10.6

The Cash Flow Statement

• Cash Flow Statement A financial report showing a firm’s income (cash)

when it is received and expenses when they are paid. Cash flows from normal operations (operating activities)

Cash flows related to the investment in or sale of assets (investment activities)

Cash flows related to financing the firm (financing activities)


Profits Versus Cash Flows

• Accrual-Basis Accounting Matches revenues when they are earned against the

expenses associated with those revenues. Sales reflect both cash and credit (noncash) sales. Inventory purchased on credit is a noncash expense. Depreciation is a noncash expense. Income tax is accrued and not entirely expensed.

• Cash-Basis Accounting Reports transactions only when cash is received or a

payment is made.


Measuring Cash Flows

• Cash Flows from Daily Operations Net cash flows generated from operating a business

Calculated by adding back to operating income depreciation, deducting income taxes, and factoring in any changes in net working capital.

• Adjusted Income After-tax cash flow

• Net Working Capital Money invested in current assets less accounts

payable and accruals


Measuring Cash Flows (cont’d)

• Cash Flows from Investment Activities Cash inflows and outflows resulting from the sale or

purchase of equipment or another depreciable asset

• Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash inflows and outflows resulting from:

Paying dividends and interest expense.

Increasing or decreasing short-term and long-term debt.

Issuing or repurchasing stock.

Purposes of pro forma statements: How profitable can the firm be expected to be, given the

projected sales levels and the expected sales expense relationships?

What will determine the amount and type of financing (debt or equity) to be used?

Will the firm have adequate cash flows? If so, how will they be used; if not, where will the additional cash come from?
