Balance Sheet
Presentation Notes
There are three fundamental financial statements used in accounting. The income statement shows revenues and expenses. The balance sheet is a listing of all asset, liability, and equity account balances that do not appear on the income statement. The statement of cash flows shows how the company receives and spends its cash. This chapter will look at the financial statements of a corporation.

Income Statement
Balance Sheet
Presentation Notes
The balance sheet (also referred to as the statement of position) describes the financial position of a company at a specific point in time. A balance sheet may be prepared monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on the needs of management and external users. The balance sheet is sometimes referred to as the statement of financial position.

Presentation Notes
Net income is defined as the excess of revenues over expenses. Financial statements begin with a three-line title comprised of the company name, the name of the statement, and the period covered by the report. The income statement lists revenues and expenses that were incurred over a period of time. Most companies prepare monthly income statements. In the long-run, revenues will generate positive cash inflows to the company and expenses will result in negative cash flows to the company. Just remember, revenues and expenses that appear on the income statement may not always produce cash flows in the current accounting period. Net income (or net loss) is simply the difference between revenues and expenses. When revenues exceed expenses, the result is net income. When expenses exceed revenues, the result is a net loss.

The statement of cash flows will be covered in detail in a later chapter. The statement of cash flows is divided into three major sections: (1) cash flows from operating activities; (2) cash flows from investing activities, and (3) cash flows from financing activities. The statement describes cash inflows and outflows over a period of time.

A Starting Point: Statement of Financial Position
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The statement of financial position, commonly referred to as the balance sheet, is an inventory of assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of the month. Our total assets are equal to $300,000. This includes cash of $22,500, notes receivable of $10,000, supplies of $2,000, and the balances in the remaining asset accounts. Liabilities include notes payable of $41,000, accounts payable of $36,000 and salaries payable of $3,000. The accounts in the owners’ equity section of the balance sheet are capital stock of $150,000 and retained earnings of $70,000.

Stable-Dollar Assumption
These accounting principles support cost as the basis for asset valuation.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The cost principle tells us that accounting information is based upon actual cost incurred. We refer to this as historical cost. The going-concern assumption states that in the absence of information to the contrary, the business entity is assumed to continue operations into the foreseeable future. The objectivity principle states that accounting information must be unbiased and based upon independent evidence. The stable-dollar assumption tells us that we will only record accounting information that can be expressed in monetary units, usually dollars in the United States.

The Accounting Equation Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity $300,000 = $80,000 + $220,000
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The basic accounting equation states that assets are equal to liabilities plus equity of a company. The equation makes sense because it states that assets must be equal to the claims against those assets. There are two broad categories of claims against an asset: Claims by creditors (called liabilities), or after all creditor claims are satisfied, the residual owners (the stockholders) have a claim on those assets.

Financial Reporting and Financial Statements
Financial statements are just one source of
financial accounting information.
Presentation Notes
Financial statements are only one source of information about the operations of a company. The financial statements of a company can be compared to those of other companies in the same industry, major national or international competitors, and to the norms for the national economy.

Presentation Notes
There are three general forms of business operations. A proprietorship is a business owned by just one individual. A partnership is owned by two or more individuals. Some partnerships have several thousand partners. A corporation is owned by individuals who normally are not active in the day-to-day operations of that business. For example, you may become an owner of IBM by purchasing shares of stock on the New York Stock Exchange. While you are a part owner, you do not necessarily work for IBM nor are you active in the operations of the company.

Presentation Notes
The owners’ equity section of the balance sheet will look different for each type of business entity. For a sole proprietorship, there will be a capital account for the owner, and a drawing account to record payments to the owner. For a partnership, each partner has a separate account, where changes are tracked over time. There’s also a separate drawing account for payments made to each partner. To review, a corporation will show owners’ contributions in the capital stock account and accumulated earnings of the company in the retained earnings account. You should be able to tell the form of business by looking at the equity section of a balance sheet.

Creditors
Investors
Presentation Notes
Creditors and investors have two major concerns about the operations and financial position of any company. First, the company must be liquid, that is, it must be able to pay all bills when due. Second, the company must be profitable in the long-run. Unprofitable companies drain the cash position of the company, causing concern on the part of creditors and investors.

In addition to the basic financial statements, companies prepare notes to the financial statements. These notes are meant to provide the reader with additional insights into the operations and financial position of the company.

Management’s Interest in Financial Statements
Creditors are more likely to extend credit if financial statements show a strong statement of
financial position—that is, relatively little debt and large amounts of liquid assets.
Window dressing occurs when management takes measures to make the company appear
as strong as possible in it financial statements.

Presentation Notes
Creditors and investors are more likely to be interested in financially strong companies. These companies usually have little or no debt and a significant amount of assets that can be converted into cash quickly.When management engages in measures to make the company appear financially stronger than it really is, this is referred to as window dressing. Window dressing may be legal, but it often impugns the integrity of the management team.
