What A Balance Sheet Basically Is?
A balance sheet basically shows a state of a Company/Business. It is basically a progress report. A Balance Sheet is issued every year or every 6 months depending on the business management, itself. A Balance Sheet is issued in order to record all of the profits & losses, a company have faced/made in the past Business year!
Remember, a Balance Sheet always shows the past performance of the Company/Business!
Reading A Balance Sheet!
There are always 3 main sections of a balance sheet -- Assets
- Liabilities
- Equity
This is how a balance sheet looks like— (image.... Example of Balance Sheet)
& by it's labels you might have an idea of what does a specific section really means & does!
Anyways so, Assets here refers towards the things the Company/Business owns or uses. Such as— machinery, even the desks, computers, etc.
Liabilities are the things the Company/Business owes to others. Like— maybe a business loan that is to be payed back, etc.
Equity is basically the owners money/share holders money/part! You know, as we know share holders own a part of the company!
Remember that, Assets = Liabilities + Equity. So if the total value of Assets is equal to the entire value of both Liabilities & Equity (added). Then, we can say that the Balance Sheet is in balance.
& now y'all go to the balance sheet image provided & try to read it & understand about that particular business!
So there is nothing much to do. One is just supposed to know that what certain sections of a Balance Sheet means & what type of information do they carry 'bout the business!
Anyways, I hope you knwo how to read a Balance Sheet now!
Thanks For Reading!
