Balance Sheet
DEFINITION:
A financial statement that summarizes a company's
assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific
point in time. These three balance sheet segments
give investors an idea as to what the company owns
and owes, as well as the amount invested by the
shareholders.
The balance sheet must follow the following formula:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity
The Balance Sheet
Assets
Anything the Business Owns
Order of Liquidity
Liabilities
Anything the Business Owes
Promise of Money
Maturity Date
Owner’s Equity

The Account Form Balance Sheet
The Classified Balance Sheet
Now that you are used to it...
LET’S CHANGE IT!!
The Classified Balance Sheet
Is a lot more specific than the balance sheet you are
used to
We are now grouping accounts within our main
categories
Assets & Liabilities more specifically
Different categories allow us to dive into the numbers
and compare similar items
ASSETS
Assets are broken down into two categories
1. Current Assets
 Assets that are smaller and easy to turn into cash
within the year
 Cash, Accounts Receivable, Supplies, Inventory
1. Fixed Assets
 Sometimes called Plant & Equipment
 Long term assets used in making goods or providing
services
 Large items: Equipment, Car, Building, Land
LIABILITIES
Very similar to assets
Broken into two groups
1. Current Liabilities
 Debts to be paid off within the year
 Accounts Payable, Bank Loan, HST
Payable/Recoverable
1. Long-Term Liabilities
 Debts to be paid off in over a year
 Mortgage, Long-Term Bank Loan
Owner’s Equity
What we have already learned
Beginning Balance
Net Income/Loss
Drawings
New Balance
Analyzing Numbers
A number that stakeholders like to know is called
working capital
The amount of money that the company should have to
work with on a short term basis
The higher the better
Indicates how easily the business can pay off its debts
Current Assets – Current Liabilities
The Classified Balance Sheet
We are no longer going to put our balance sheet into
Left Side and Right Side
This was to teach you the difference between Debit
Accounts and Credit Accounts
We will be listing ours from top to bottom
Kind of like the income statement
There will be one column for the accounts
There will be two columns for the numbers
