Components of Financial Statements

Assets, Liabilities, Owner's Equity, Revenues, Expenses, Gains, Losses

Financial Statements Overview

Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity = Assets - Liabilities ---> Assets = Liabilities + Equity

[Example]
Company A has $800,000 liabilities and $1,200,000 equity.
How much assets does the Company A have?

Assets = Liabilities + Equity = $800,000 - $1,200,000 = $2,000,000

Assets = Liabilities + Equity


Liabilities = Assets - Equity
Equity = Assets - Liabilities

From any balance sheet,


--> it can be verified that
--> Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Stockholders' Equity.

Assets
Assets are
--> probable future economic benefits
--> obtained or controlled by an entity
--> as a result of past transactions or events.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 25]

Essential characteristics of assets


Probable future economics benefits
Obtained or controlled by an entity
Result of past transactions or events.

Common characteristic of all assets


--> is service potential or future economic benefits
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 28]

Liabilities
Liabilities are
--> probable future sacrifices of economic benefits
--> arising from present obligations of an entity
--> to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future
--> as a result of past transactions or events.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 35]

Essential characteristics of liabilities


Probable future sacrifices of economic benefits
Present obligations to transfer assets or provide services in the future
Result of past transactions or events.

Equity
Equity (or net assets) is
--> residual interests in the assets of an entity
--> that remains after deducting its liabilities.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 49]

Essential characteristics of equity


Equity is residual interests in the assets after deducting liabilities
Equity = Assets - Liabilities

[Example]
Company A has $2,000,000 assets and $800,000 liabilities.
How much equity does the Company A have?

Equity = Assets - Liabilities


= $2,000,000 - $800,000 = $1,200,000

Revenues
Revenues are
--> inflows of assets of an entity or
--> settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both)
--> from delivering or producing goods, rendering services.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 78]

Essential characteristics of revenues


Inflows of assets or settlements of liabilities
From delivering goods or rendering services

Expenses
Expenses are
--> outflows or other using up of assets or
--> incurrences of liabilities (or a combination of both) |
--> from delivering or producing goods, rendering services.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 80]

Essential characteristics of expenses


Outflows of assets or incurrences of liabilities
from delivering goods or rendering services

Gains
Gains are
--> increases in equity (net assets)
--> except those from revenues or investments by owners.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 82]

Essential characteristics of gains


Increases in equity from transactions or events
Except those that result from revenues or investments by owners.

Losses
Losses are
--> decreases in equity (net assets)
--> except those from expenses or distributions to owners.
[SFAC No. 6., Para. 83]

Essential characteristics of losses


Decreases in equity from transactions or events
Except those that result from expenses or distributions to owners.

Net Income and Owner's Equity


Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Assets = Liabilities + Equity + Revenues - Expenses
Assets = Liabilities + Equity + Revenues - Expenses + Gains - Losses

Ending Assets = Ending Liabilities + Ending Owner's Equity


Ending Owner's Equity
= Beginning Owner's Equity + Investment by Owner + Net Income

Net Income = Revenues - Expenses + Gains - Losses

Ending Owner's Equity


= Beginning Owner's Equity + Investment by Owner
+ Revenues - Expenses + Gains - Losses

Ending Assets
= Ending Liabilities + Ending Owner's Equity
= Ending Liabilities + Beginning Owner's Equity
+ Investment by Owner + Net Income

= Ending Liabilities + Beginning Owner's Equity


+ Investment by Owner + Revenues - Expenses + Gains - Losses

If Investment by Owner = 0, Gains = 0, Losses = 0, then

Ending Assets = Ending Liabilities + Beginning Owner's Equity


+ Revenues - Expenses

Ending Assets = Ending Liabilities + Ending Owner's Equity

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
