The document provides an overview of financial statements using an analogy comparing a business to a tree. It summarizes that the income statement measures annual profits and losses like a tree's yearly fruit yield. The balance sheet captures the cumulative results over time through the equity section, similar to tree rings. The cash flow statement shows where money goes, like water sustaining a tree. Together, the three statements provide a full picture of a business's financial health over time, like examining a tree's trunk, rings, and water sources reveals its history and viability.

U4A2_Adj1_Supplies
This document discusses adjusting entries for supplies. It explains that while supplies are an asset account, the portion used during the period is an expense. To determine the expense amount, the physical count of remaining supplies is subtracted from the original balance. An adjusting entry is passed to recognize the supplies expense for the period and adjust the supplies asset account balance. The entry debits supplies expense to increase the expense and credits supplies to decrease the asset account balance.

The document outlines three steps to financial success: 1) Save money by setting goals and creating a budget to control spending; 2) Invest saved money to generate positive cash flow; 3) Protect assets and income by managing taxes and paying down debt. It provides information on concepts like assets, liabilities, income and expenses to understand personal finances and develop a net worth chart and cash flow plan.
U4A2_Adj4_Depreciation
Depreciation is an expense that is allocated over the useful life of a long-term asset. It recognizes that the asset provides benefits over multiple periods rather than being fully expensed when purchased. There are two main methods for calculating depreciation - straight line and declining balance. Straight line depreciation divides the asset cost minus salvage value equally over its useful life. Declining balance depreciation allocates a greater portion of depreciation to early years by applying a fixed percentage rate to the remaining undepreciated balance each year. Both methods are recorded through an adjusting entry that debits depreciation expense and credits accumulated depreciation.

Operational ratios can help determine if a business has invested an adequate amount of money in current assets like inventory and accounts receivable. Ratios are calculated using figures from the income statement and balance sheet to examine areas like cash on hand, collection period, inventory levels, and payment period. The document provides examples to demonstrate how to calculate days of cash on hand, accounts receivable collection period, inventory turnover, and accounts payable payment period using financial data from a sample company.
Matters to decide when building a securities portfolio
The document provides guidance on building a long-term investment portfolio including:
1. Setting long-term goals for savings and retirement and estimating costs like tuition and housing.
2. Considering where to invest for 15-25% annual growth, such as Asia, Europe, Africa, or North/South America and whether to take an active or passive approach.
3. Determining what percentage to invest in mutual funds versus individual stock selections and whether the objective is capital gains or stable dividends.
My personal investment portfolio matters to decide
The document provides guidance on designing a personal investment portfolio. It recommends first assessing economic conditions and capital market expectations. Then determine goals and objectives, constraints, and tax considerations. This will help decide the optimal asset allocation across instruments like high-dividend stocks, growth stocks, bonds, and sectors. Regularly review the economic outlook and adjust the portfolio to maximize growth over the long term.
Suspense ac
The suspense account is a temporary account used to hold unclassified transactions when a trial balance does not balance due to discrepancies. It acts as a holding account with the difference between total debits and credits until the error is identified. The suspense account is opened with the imbalance amount on the debit side if total debits are higher, or on the credit side if total credits are higher. Once errors are located, entries are moved from the suspense account to their proper accounts to clear the suspense account balance.

The balance sheet
The balance sheet provides a snapshot of a firm's financial position at a point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and owner's equity. Careful analysis of the balance sheet over years can show if a firm is growing and healthy through consistent increases in net worth, or declining and potentially ailing through decreases in net worth. The balance sheet and income statement are related, as net income is transferred from the income statement to the balance sheet annually through the retained earnings account.

Business Performance Evaluation:
Approaches for Thoughtful Forecasting
Every day, fortunes are won and lost on the backs of business performance assessments and forecasts.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding business performance, the manager should appreciate that forecasting
is not the same as fortune-telling; unanticipated events have a way of making certain that specific forecasts are
never exactly correct. This note purports, however, that thoughtful forecasts greatly aid managers in
understanding the implications of various outcomes (including the most probable outcome) and identify the
key bets associated with a forecast. Such forecasts provide the manager with an appreciation of the odds of
business success.
This note examines principles in the art and science of thoughtful financial forecasting for the business
manager. In particular, it reviews the importance of (1) understanding the financial relationships of a business
enterprise, (2) grounding business forecasts in the reality of the industry and macroenvironment, (3) modeling
a forecast that embeds the implications of business strategy, and (4) recognizing the potential for cognitive
bias in the forecasting process. The note closes with a detailed example of financial forecasting based on the
example of the Swiss food and nutrition company Nestle.
Understanding the Financial Relationships of the Business Enterprise
Financial statements provide information on the financial activities of an enterprise. Much like the
performance statistics from an athletic contest, financial statements provide an array of identifying data on
various historical strengths and weaknesses across a broad spectrum of business activities. The income
statement (also known as the profit-and-loss statement) measures flows of costs, revenue, and profits over a
defined period of time, such as a year. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of business investment and
financing at a particular point in time, such as the end of a year. Both statements combine to provide a rich
picture of a business’s financial performance. The analysis of financial statements is one important way of
understanding the mechanics of the systems that make up business operations.
