reports a company\u0026#8217;s assets, liabilities, and shareholder equity at a specific point in time. Balance sheets provide the basis for computing rates of return for investors and evaluating a company\u0026#8217;s capital structure. In short, the balance sheet is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of what a company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by shareholders. Balance sheets can be used with other important financial statements to conduct fundamental analysis or calculating financial ratios.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Points\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA balance sheet is a financial statement that reports a company\u0026#8217;s assets, liabilities, and shareholder equity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balance sheet is one of the three core financial statements that are used to evaluate a business.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt provides a snapshot of a company\u0026#8217;s finances (what it owns and owes) as of the date of publication.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balance sheet adheres to an equation that equates assets with the sum of liabilities and shareholder equity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFundamental analysts use balance sheets to calculate financial ratios.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\u0027text_slider_slide02\u0027 class=\u0027sa_hover_container\u0027 data-hash=\u0027Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals\u0027 style=\u0027padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:399px; \u0027\u003e\u003ch2 style=\u0022text-align: left\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.2 Balance Sheet Fundamentals\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022aligncenter wp-image-51572 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals\u0022 width=\u00221090\u0022 height=\u0022776\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals.png 1090w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals-300x214.png 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals-1024x729.png 1024w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals-768x547.png 768w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals-50x36.png 50w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals-100x71.png 100w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Balance-Sheet-Fundamentals-150x107.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 1090px) 100vw, 1090px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balance sheet is structured with assets on the left-hand side and liabilities and shareholders equity on the right. For an item to be considered an asset, it must have been acquired in the past and have the potential to generate a quantifiable economic benefit in the future. Liabilities are obligations acquired in the past that require economic sacrifices in the future. The difference between the assets and liabilities of the company is what is left over for the owners (shareholders) of the company. This is called shareholders equity. This leads us to one of the fundamental identities of accounting:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\u0022padding-left: 240px\u0022\u003eAssets = Liabilities + Shareholders equity\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is, the things a company has (assets) are either paid for with borrowed money (liabilities) or belong to the owners (shareholders equity). This identity means that the sum of the items on each side of the balance sheet must be the same \u0026#8211; that\u0026#8217;s why it\u0026#8217;s called the \u0026#8220;balance\u0026#8221; sheet\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order for the two sides of the balance sheet to remain equal, the assets and liabilities of the company must be recorded using a process called double-entry bookkeeping. A single item cannot be added to the balance sheet in isolation \u0026#8211; there must always be an equal and offsetting adjustment somewhere else to keep things balanced. This offsetting entry can be an equivalent addition to the other side of the balance sheet, or a reduction in another item on the same side.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is best illustrated by an example. Consider a brand new company that has yet to begin operation and whose only asset is Rs.1,000 of cash invested by the founders.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe company\u0026#8217;s balance sheet looks quite simple:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\u0022padding-left: 80px\u0022\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022wp-image-16273 size-full aligncenter\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet.png\u0022 alt=\u0022\u0022 width=\u00223767\u0022 height=\u0022657\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet.png 3767w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet-300x52.png 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet-1024x179.png 1024w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet-768x134.png 768w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet-1536x268.png 1536w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/balance-sheet-2048x357.png 2048w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 3767px) 100vw, 3767px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe company now purchases a piece of equipment for Rs.600.

The asset side of the balance sheet is now reduced by Rs.200 and there must be an equal and offsetting adjustment to the righthand side. If the machine was paid for on credit, the debt does not change just because the machine is worth less than before. The only place where the loss of Rs.200 on the asset side can be reflected is in the shareholders equity line. The owners of the company take the loss, not the creditors. In general, the shareholders equity line is calculated as a \u0026#8220;plug\u0026#8221;. That is, once all the assets and liabilities have been added up, the shareholders equity is defined to be whatever value makes the two sides of the balance sheet equal.

Fixed assets are shown in the Balance Sheet at cost less the accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the very sound concept that an asset has a useful life and that after years of toil it wears down. Consequently, it attempts to measure that wear and tear and to reduce the value of the asset accordingly so that at the end of its useful life, the asset will have no value.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-term investments:\u003c/strong\u003e Assets owned by the company that are not directly related to the functioning of the business (e.g., a piece of unused land).\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntangible assets:\u003c/strong\u003e Money paid by the company for rights, patents, trademarks, and the like, which can produce value but do not have a physical presence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other side of the balance sheet is divided into two parts: \u003cstrong\u003ecurrent and long-term liabilities\u003c/strong\u003e on the top, followed by the details of the shareholders equity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\u0027text_slider_slide06\u0027 class=\u0027sa_hover_container\u0027 data-hash=\u0027Current-Liabilities\u0027 style=\u0027padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:399px; \u0027\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.6 Current Liabilities\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022aligncenter wp-image-51576 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Current Liabilities\u0022 width=\u0022863\u0022 height=\u0022813\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities.png 863w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities-300x283.png 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities-768x724.png 768w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities-50x47.png 50w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities-100x94.png 100w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Current-Liabilities-150x141.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnapshot of Current Liabilities of Exide Ltd: \u0026#8211;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022size-full wp-image-16332 aligncenter\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5.3-4.jpg\u0022 alt=\u0022\u0022 width=\u00221080\u0022 height=\u0022478\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5.3-4.jpg 1080w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5.3-4-300x133.jpg 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5.3-4-1024x453.jpg 1024w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5.3-4-768x340.jpg 768w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Liabilities\u003c/strong\u003e – Current liabilities are amounts due that are payable within the next twelve months.

As a result, companies will usually show a larger profit on their accounting statements (where it looks good) than on their income tax statements (where it means a higher tax bill). The difference between the two represents revenue that has not yet been taxed, but will be at some point. The deferred tax liability indicates the pending IRS bill that will need to be paid when this happens.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother liability that often appears on the balance sheet is something called minority interest. This entry appears on the balance sheet of a parent company that does not own 100 percent of one of its subsidiaries. When a company acquires a sufficiently large portion of another company (usually more than 50 percent), the full assets and liabilities of the acquired company are listed on the balance sheet of the acquiring (parent) company. An accounting adjustment is then necessary on the liabilities side since there is a portion of the subsidiary that is not owned by the parent.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an example, assume that Company B has a book value of Rs.100 consisting of Rs100 in assets and no debt and that Company A is able to purchase an 85 percent stake in Company B for Rs.85. Because it owns a controlling stake, Company A will now add all the assets of Company B to its balance sheet. The purchase price for 85 percent of the company is equal to 85 percent of the book value so there is no goodwill adjustment to be made. However, when the full assets and liabilities of Company B are taken onto Company A’s balance sheet, there will be a net increase of Rs15 in assets as the Rs100 of assets of Company B is added and the Rs.85 reduction in cash is recognized. The imbalance comes from the fact that 100 percent of Company B has been added to the balance sheet but only 85 percent has been purchased. Company A would then recognize a Rs.15 liability for minority interest to adjust for the 15 percent of the company that is still owned by the previous owners.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\u0027text_slider_slide08\u0027 class=\u0027sa_hover_container\u0027 data-hash=\u0027Shareholder\u0027s-Equity\u0027 style=\u0027padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:399px; \u0027\u003e\u003ch2 style=\u0022text-align: left\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.8 Shareholder\u0026#8217;s Equity\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022aligncenter wp-image-51578 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Shareholders Equity\u0022 width=\u00221080\u0022 height=\u0022903\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity.png 1080w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity-300x251.png 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity-1024x856.png 1024w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity-768x642.png 768w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity-50x42.png 50w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity-100x84.png 100w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Shareholders-Equity-150x125.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnapshot of Non Current Liabilities of Exide industries: \u0026#8211;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022size-full wp-image-16285 aligncenter\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/snapshots-of-non-current-liabilities-final.png\u0022 alt=\u0022\u0022 width=\u0022547\u0022 height=\u0022214\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/snapshots-of-non-current-liabilities-final.png 547w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/snapshots-of-non-current-liabilities-final-300x117.png 300w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last section of the balance sheet contains the decomposition of shareholders\u0026#8217; equity. Given the total assets and liabilities of the company, we already know what the total value of shareholders\u0026#8217; equity must be, simply by rearranging the fundamental accounting relationship stated at the start of the section:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShareholders\u0026#8217; equity = Assets \u0026#8211; Liabilities\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn general terms, the shareholders\u0026#8217; equity can come from two sources: either the money was put into the company by the owners or the company earned the money from its business activities but has not yet paid it out to the owners. These two forms of shareholders\u0026#8217; equity appear on the balance sheet as follows:\u003c/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaid-in capital:\u003c/strong\u003e This represents the money paid by investors in return for fractional ownership of the benefits of the company, through ownership of common shares, either purchased in an initial public offering or a secondary share issuance. If a company issues 1 million shares of stock and sells them in an initial public offering (IPO) at Rs25 each, then the company will have Rs.25 million of common equity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetained earnings: \u003c/strong\u003eProfits earned by the company that have not been distributed to the shareholders via dividends are recognized on the balance sheet as retained earnings. This entry is not actually calculated in the preparation of the balance sheet but is the “plug” value whose value is determined by the difference between the assets, liabilities, and the other elements of shareholders’ equity whose value can be objectively determined.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompanies will sometimes repurchase their shares in the open market. When this occurs, the repurchased shares are represented on the balance sheet as treasury stock in the statement of shareholders\u0026#8217; equity. The value assigned is the repurchase price of the shares and carries a negative sign as they are effectively an offset to the paid-in capital (they were sold and then bought back). These shares no longer represent an actual obligation since they are held by the company itself and not outside investors.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sum of paid-in capital and retained earnings, less treasury stock, is the common shareholders\u0026#8217; equity. In addition to common stock, some firms will also issue shares of preferred stock. This is a special type of non-voting stock that has priority over common shares in the event of a bankruptcy and liquidation of the company\u0026#8217;s assets. Preferred shares usually carry a fixed dividend that must be paid before any dividends are paid out on the common stock. Preferred dividends are similar to interest payments on debt but with the important caveat that, should the firm be unable to pay the dividend, this does not force it into bankruptcy-the dividend obligation simply accumulates and must be paid out in the next period. While preferred stock is, in many ways, more like a bond, it is recognized as an equity issuance and therefore shows up under the shareholders\u0026#8217; equity rather than as part of long-term debt. The book value of preferred stocks is added to common shareholders\u0026#8217; equity to arrive at the total value of shareholders\u0026#8217; equity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\u0027text_slider_slide09\u0027 class=\u0027sa_hover_container\u0027 data-hash=\u0027Capital\u0027 style=\u0027padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; min-height:399px; \u0027\u003e\u003ch3 style=\u0022text-align: left\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.9 Capital\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022aligncenter wp-image-51579 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Capital\u0022 width=\u0022976\u0022 height=\u00221044\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/gujarati/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital.png 976w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital-280x300.png 280w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital-957x1024.png 957w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital-768x822.png 768w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital-47x50.png 47w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital-93x100.png 93w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Capital-150x160.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA firm\u0026#8217;s capital consists of the financial resources at its disposal that can be applied to the production of the goods or services it offers. There are two common definitions of capital derived from the balance sheet. The first of these is working capital, which measures the short-term liquidity of the company and is equal to the difference between the current assets and current liabilities. A company must maintain an adequate buffer of working capital to guarantee that current assets are enough to cover short-term liabilities and avoid an interruption in operations due to an inability to make payments on its obligations. This underscores the significance of \u0026#8220;current,\u0026#8221; as it applies both to assets (they should be liquid and readily convertible into cash) and liabilities (anything that is coming due in the near term, including the current portion of long-term debt).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking capital = Current assets \u0026#8211; Current liabilities\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broader measurement of the resources a company has at its disposal is total capital, which is composed of all borrowed funds (short- and long term) and cash supplied by the owners (shareholders\u0026#8217; equity).
