ECONOMIC RESOURCES

THE BALANCE SHEET


The financial position of an accounting entity as of a specified
moment of time based on generally accepted accounting
principles is shown by a BALANCE SHEET.
Balance sheet reports the ASSETS and LIABILITIES.
The basic balance sheet is
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS EQUITY or
RESOURCES = CREDITORS + OWNERS CLAIM ON RESOURCES

Otherwise called as statement of financial position.

THE BALANCE SHEET


Specific
moment
of time

Reports
assets and
liabilities

THE BALANCE SHEET


ASSETS:
Economic resources that are controlled by an entity and whose
cost at the time of acquisition could be objectively measured.
A resource is an economic resource if it provides future
benefits to the entity. Resource provides future benefits if:
1)They are cash or can be converted to cash. (Eg. Shares)
2)They are goods that are expected to be sold and cash
received. (Eg. Stock)
3)They are items expected to be used in future activities that
will generate cash inflows to the entity. (Eg. Machinery)

THE BALANCE SHEET


ASSETS:
Customarily grouped into two categories:
1)CURRENT ASSETS
2)NON CURRENT ASSETS
Current assets are assets that are expected to be realised in
cash or sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle or
within one year, whichever is longer.
Common current assets:
Cash, Cash equivalent like treasury bills,CP etc, Marketable
securities, Accounts receivable (Sundry debtors), Inventories
(Stock), Prepaid expenses

THE BALANCE SHEET


ASSETS:
Customarily grouped into two categories:
1)CURRENT ASSETS
2)NON CURRENT ASSETS
Non current assets consists of assets that are tangible and
relatively long lived. Also referred to as fixed assets. The entity
has acquired these assets in order to use them to produce
goods and service that will generate future cash inflows.
Investments are also non-current assets to the extent they are
not classified as marketable securities.
Eg. Plant, Land, Building, Copyright, Patent, Trademark

THE BALANCE SHEET


LIABILITIES
Liabilities are claims against the entitys assets. Liability is
reported at the amount that would be required to satisfy the
obligation as of the balance sheet date.

THE BALANCE SHEET


LIABILITIES
Customarily classified into three categories:
1)CURRENT LIABILITY
2)NON-CURRENT LIABILITY
3)OWNERS EQUITY
Current liability
Liabilities that are expected to be satisfied or extinguished
during normal operating cycle or within one year whichever is
longer are called current liabilities.
Common current liability: Sundry creditors, Taxes payable,
Accrued expenses, Current portion of long term debt, dividend
payable.

THE BALANCE SHEET


LIABILITIES
Customarily classified into three categories:
1)CURRENT LIABILITY
2)NON-CURRENT LIABILITY
3)OWNERS EQUITY
Non-current liability
Obligations that do not met the criteria for being classified as
current liability are simply called non-current or long term
Liability
Eg. Debentures, Bank loan, Bonds

THE BALANCE SHEET


LIABILITIES
Customarily classified into three categories:
1)CURRENT LIABILITY
2)NON-CURRENT LIABILITY
3)OWNERS EQUITY
Owners equity shows the amount the owners have invested in
the entity. Owners equity in the balance sheet is divided into
two parts
1)CAPITAL
The amount the owners have invested directly in the business
by purchasing shares
2)RESERVES AND SURPLUS (RETAINED EARNINGS)

THE BALANCE SHEET


LIABILITIES
Customarily classified into three categories:
1)CURRENT LIABILITY
2)NON-CURRENT LIABILITY
3)OWNERS EQUITY
Owners equity shows the amount the owners have invested in
the entity. Owners equity in the balance sheet is divided into
two parts
1)CAPITAL
2)RESERVES AND SURPLUS (RETAINED EARNINGS)
Total earnings that has been retained for use in business
(reinvested in business), usually total earnings from inception
less dividend paid). Account is referred as accumulated losses
when aggregate earnings of the company is negative.

THE INCOME STATEMENT

performance of a firm by presenting the entitys revenues,
expenses, gains, losses and net income for a period of time.

rendering services or other activities that constitute the entitys
