Document Summary

Financial statement that shows the value of the firm"s assets and liabilities at a particular time. Current assets: some assets can be turned into cash more easily= liquid assets (put most liquid at top of the list and works down) Items in balance sheet are valued according to generally accepted accounting principles (gaap). This states that assets must be shown in the balance sheet at their historical cost adjusted for depreciation. Book values: backward looking measures of value. Difference between book and market value vary depending on the asset>> fixed asset the difference could be large and difference is likely to be largest with shareholders equity. The book value of equity measures the cash that shareholders have contributed in the past plus the cash that the company has retained and reinvested in the business on their behalf. But this often bares little resemblance to the total market value that investors place on the shares.
