1. Nature and Purpose of Balance Sheet

• Shows financial position at a point in time

• List of assets, liailities ad oes euit at that poit

• Also, ko as “tateet of Fiaial Positio

• The alae sheet shos a etits A““ET“ esult of INVE“TING DECI“ION“

and hoe the entity has financed these assets (result of FINANCING

DECISIONS)

• Why do you need to know about the balance sheet?

o It is very common document used in business

o It tells you what the business OWNS and OWES

o An example of practical usefulness: If a business seeks a bank loan,

the bank will want to know what the business owns and owes

• Link between balance sheet and accounting equation

o A fis alae sheet is a foal statement of the accounting

equation

o Whe pepaig a alae sheet, the total of the fis A““ET“ MU“T

ALWAYS equal the total LIABILTITIES PLUS OWNERS EQUITY

o i.e. at all the times, A=L+OE

o Recall that the accounting equation can also be written as: OE= A-L

o This is the equation used for one format of the balance sheet, the

narrative format (see later)

o I this foat, the te et assets is used to desie total assets

MINUS total liabilities, i.e. Net assets = OE

2. Assets

• A simple definition is that assets are items of value OWNED or CONTROLLED

by a business

• Essential characteristics for a resource to be called an asset:

o It must be controlled by the entity

o It must result from a past event

o Future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity from it

• Recognized (recorded) when it is capable of reliable measurement in

monetary terms (monetary concept)

• Assets may be either:

o Tangible- Items with a physical substance, e.g. land, motor vehicles,

cash) OR

o Intangible- No physical substance, such as goodwill, patents, brand

names

• Tangible Assets

o Tangible assets are relatively easy to understand

o For example, if the firm buys an item of equipment, the firm has

purchased a tangible asset

o Intangible assets are more complex. For the purposes of this course,

we have simplified intangible assets and define them as follows:

• Intangible Assets
