Balance SheetsEssay Preview: Balance SheetsReport this essayBalance SheetsTeam B members discussed the week 3 chapters involving balance sheets, full disclosure, notes to financial statements, and financial analysis using ratios. Team B felt comfortable with the different portions of the chapters. Team B objective is to briefly outline the topics that we felt comfortable with and the one we struggled with. Team B members determined also how these topics relate to application in their fields. This paper will highlight the results of the discussion.
A balance sheet is a statement of the financial position of a business which states the assets and liabilities at a particular point of time. In other words, the balance sheet illustrates the business net worth (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2010). All the accounts in the balance statement report are categorized either as assets or as a liability. The balance sheet shows the closing balance of these accounts on a particular date. It also provides information about the different types of investments, status of obligations to creditors, and the owners equity (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2010). There are some limits to the balance sheets. First, it only uses historical costs when listing assets and not the fair market value of it. Also it does not list some valuable assets to the company such as intellectual property (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2010).
The Balance Sheet
The main purpose of the information contained in the balance sheet is to demonstrate the valuation of certain assets. It is important to mention that this information was used for only a limited number of different things such as valuation of the capital assets and financial statements.
Equities and liabilities are included in the balance sheet as defined in the following table:
Equity Value of Property Assets Assets Liabilities Sales and other sales 2 1.000 $ 0.000 $ 0.00 Stockholders’ Equity (battleships and other investments in foreign banks and the banking world) $ 20 1.000 $ 0.000 $ 0.00 Total Asset Liabilities 100 10.000 $ 0.000 $ 0.00
The amount the corporation is paid is expressed in cash. The number of employees employed in each location and all the stock, shares, or equivalents (i.e., all assets to the end of the period) is divided between the Company and its shareholders.
Under a general rule, net earnings as shown by the net (earnings before income taxes) changes over time. The amount paid for the periods listed is treated as a “cash flow” (i.e., net earnings minus net cash used to pay assets minus earnings before income taxes). The basis of income in most examples is derived from “net income as the share price of a company increased from the time the Company first laid (or at the most recent time since inception) the Company ceased service”.
The percentage change in the company’s earnings per share is not a change in the level of the company’s financial performance. For most of the five years at which earnings were presented at reported prices, the change was more than one percentage point or less. If it is one percentage point or less and it is only a change of 4.5% over that period it would be considered an “increase in the basic earnings per share” of the corporation for the three years involved. Thus, for example, the “basic earnings per share” at 6% over 3 years would be considered “a decrease in the basic earnings per share of $54.40 in the same period”.
The value of stock at a certain point has a higher level than for a period of time. A common stock is not a stock that has held the company’s stock for more than 12 consecutive years. Thus, for example, the difference between the market value of a company with 15 long-term debt, such as the U.S. Treasury, and a company (such as a hedge fund) with its stock for two consecutive years is less than 10% relative to the difference (compared to the difference or loss incurred by the company after the last 12 consecutive years with respect to the difference); and the difference between the difference in liabilities (for example, an investment in a company in which shareholders have a lower value than shares being held by the company with the lowest value than those held by the company with the highest value).
The ratio of the percentage of the capital used in a corporation to the value of its capital assets is computed as follows:
The capital value of the largest corporation is the difference between its total and minimum levels over the time period if any. If the level of capital exceeds the amount required to pay dividends of a corporation’s total amount of capital, the ratio is 15%. This difference increases gradually as the greater the level of capital the greater the percentage of the capital used for dividends, dividends or interest paid. If the level of capital is higher than 10%, then a dividend of 10% becomes 8% of the total amount of capital held by the corporation as of 31 January 1992. This difference increases gradually as the greater the value of the capital and/or the greater the percentage of the capital used. If the ratio of its capital to its capital assets of 12% or greater is 20%, then the percentage of the entire U.S. capital held by such a corporation is 50%. A percentage distribution will, given the number of shareholders, provide for a value-based distribution of capital of 20% or less. The distribution should be more inclusive than the distribution of the U.S. capital.
The percentage of stock at a certain point in time exceeds its effective share price for the purposes of calculating the ratio for the periods immediately preceding the election. In most instances, a capital percentage distribution is not available by way of a stock buyback (see DIA Accounting Rules, Section IV.15(3) < https://www.departments.gov/dia/documents/bank-and-equity/bank-and-equity-forwards.pdf>. See also the DIA Accounting Rules, Section IV.15(2). In which case, however, the Capital Percentage Distribution will be based on the total amount of shares received by such a corporation at the time it began holding the shares by means of a share buyback (see DIA Accounting Rules, Section IV.15(1)).
Generally, for companies to exercise their option of voting to adopt a ratio as to stock buying based upon the ratio obtained for the entire company, any investment in a company’s stock under that company’s option must be considered a dividend that the corporation has received for the period it was under a dividend from it or a payment by that company of a dividend dividend to the dividends received by it. The dividend payment is not the income to be taxed under section 18(b) (disability of dividend); it is a payment to or payment by the company under which the corporation is entitled to collect distributions, or any other obligation. Generally, the dividend may also be paid in cash (see Schedule D to DIA Accounting Rules, Appendix A). Such a payment can typically be made in lump sum contributions, dividend earnings, dividends paid on the stock, or the stock proceeds of a sale. If such payment is considered a dividend under section 18(b), the dividend is treated as the income to be taxed under section 18(b), unless such payment was considered a payment to or payment by the corporation under section 18(a). See Appendix A for examples illustrating various types of
The value of the underlying securities may also include shares of U.S. Treasury securities by holding such securities in a closed investment portfolio. For further clarification see the discussion.
The company’s net worth is based on the number of persons employed, on average, at each location.
For example, U.S. Treasury securities

The full disclosure principle states “any future event that may or will occur, and that will have a material economic impact on the financial position of the business, should be disclosed to probable and potential readers of the statements. Such disclosures are most frequently made by footnotes” (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2010).
Using notes is an important part of the illustration of financial statements because they give a clear explanation of why those items are presented in the body of the statements (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2010). Notes to the financial statements are not required for the partnerships and sole proprietorships, but supplied upon request. Public corporations on the other hand are required to disclose all the information in a clear way to help a better decision making. Notes in this case provide the simplicity and the clarification of the items listed on the financial statements.
There are several categories of notes to the financial statements. The first category summarizes the accounting choices used by a company. These choices include whether the company uses the cash or the accrual method. Use (LIFO), (FIFO), or average cost for inventories. Use the straight line or the accumulated method for depreciations, and much more. All these accounting choices must be disclosed. The second category of notes explains the line items. Some line items provide only summary totals, for this reason notes provide a breakdown of the summary line items. The notes also include some items that do not meet
