All assets must equal All Equities

Types of Balance Sheet

Based on Format of Preparation:

Horizontal and Vertical

Based on the Usage:Consolidated or Standalone

Based on the Period:Previous Year Balance Sheet Current Year Balance Sheet

Horizontal Balance Sheet

Horizontal analysis is also referred as trend analysis.It looks at amounts over the past years. The amount of cash reported on the balance sheet at December 31st of 2012, 2011 will be expressed as a percentage of the December 31st, 2011 amount.Instead of dollar amounts will be like 75, 60, 55 and 45.

Vertical Balance Sheet

It reports each amount as a percentage of another item. Each amount on the balance sheet is restated to be a percentage of total assets.If inventory is $100,000 and total assets are $400,000 then inventory is presented as

= 25%

Current Ratio: The ratio of total current assets to total current

liabilities is called the current ratio.

Cash Ratio:The ratio of immediately available cash to total

current liabilities is known as the cash ratio.

Cash

The most liquid asset account is cash

Marketable securities are essentially equivalent to cash such as:

Certificates of deposits (CDs)

Treasury bills

Notes

Bonds

Other US government securities

Bankers’ acceptances, or

High-grade corporate commercial paper

Net Accounts Receivable

When a company sells its products or services on credit it is shown on the balance sheet as an accounts receivable

Accounts receivable remain on the balance sheet until they are collected

Some amount of accounts receivable will never be collected and, therefore, constitute a bad debt, or loss

Contd…

A company prepares for this by calculating the percentage of possible bad debt from prior actual experience as:

Net accounts receivable= Gross accounts receivable -allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

For a manufacturer there are three forms of inventories: Raw materials, Work in process, and Finished goods

For a retailer, finished goods constitute the bulk of all inventories

Inventory can be valued using either the FIFO, LIFO, or average cost valuation method

Total Current Assets

The sum of the items listed above (cash, net accounts receivable and inventories) constitutes total current assets.

A current asset is, in general, an account that is expected to be converted into cash in less than one year.

Gross fixed assets, Accumulated depreciation and Net fixed assets

In general, any items of a fairly permanent nature that are required for the normal conduct of a business.

Fixed assets include equipment, buildings, vehicles, tools, computers, office equipment, leasehold improvements, furniture

Book Value

Accounting standards dictate that balance sheets report the value of fixed assets at book value

Book value is defined as the original historical cost (the purchase price paid by the company) minus allowable depreciation to date

All fixed assets, with the exception of land, are assumed to lose their economic value over time

Total Assets

The sum of all current and long-term assets equals total assets

These are the items that a firm uses to produce revenue

Notes Payable

Notes payable frequently represent the short-term borrowing of a company from a bank for the seasonal financing of current assets in particular, accounts receivable and inventory.

Accounts Payable

Whereas accounts receivable represent sales made by the company to customers on credit, trade accounts payable represent purchases (usually for inventory) made by the company from suppliers on credit

Accounts payable are, in general, a source of “interest free” financing for a company in the sense that if the company pays its accounts in a timely manner

Accrued Expenses

These expenses are usually paid at regular intervals

These include such items as utilities, rent, wages and salaries, and taxes

For example, if wages are paid every two weeks and the firm’s balance sheet is prepared in the middle of the pay period, wages owed as of that date would be reported as an accrual

Current Portion Of Long-term Debt

Sometimes firms borrow long-term money on an installment basis

That is, the firm makes periodic payments over the life of the loan that includes principal reduction as well as interest.

Sometimes called current maturities of long-term debt

The principal portion of these installment payments that is due over the next 12 months

Total Current Liabilities

The sum of the items listed above ( notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, current portion of long-term debt ) constitutes total current liabilities

A current liability is, in general, a liability that is expected to be paid off in less than one year

A company normally pays off its current liabilities as current assets are converted into cash

Long-term debt

Used to finance long term assets such as land, building, and equipment. Also used to finance “permanent” current assets.

Common Stock

It is divided into two componentsCommon stock at par value

used to determine the number of shares currently outstanding.

Capital surplusrepresents additional money generated when

company actually sold the stock.

Preferred Stock

Preferred stock is a hybrid security including both elements of debt and equity

Retained Earnings

The cumulative total of all net income that has been reinvested into the company

To fund the expansion (replacement) of assets

Retained earning=Net income -Dividends paid.

Total Liabilities and Equity

The sum of total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity equals total liabilities and equity which, by definition, must be equal to total assets -a balance sheet must balance.

It’s a Balance Sheet

Interpretation

All publicly traded companies include their yearly balance sheet in the annual report to provide a "snapshot" of the company’s financial situation

Investors get an idea as to what the company owns and owesassets-to-debt ratio = Total assets / Total Liabilities

Working capital is the money leftover if a company paid its current liabilities from its current assets

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current LiabilitiesCompany's liquidity and its ability to handle unexpected expenses

Interpretation

turnover ratio = Revenues / InventoryIf the turnover ratio is falling, it's a signal that unsold goods are sitting in stores or warehouses for longer periods of time, which is not what an investor likes to see.
