Balance Sheet
Date
Overview
A firm's
balance sheet is a snapshot of its financial picture.
One side of the balance sheet totes up assets, moving
from most liquid (cash) to least liquid (buildings
and equipment, etc..). The other side of the balance
sheet lists liabilities in order of immediacy.
Remember that
assets are equal to liabilities plus shareholders
equity. The balance sheet and the income statement,
is an extremely important tool for understanding the
financial health of a company. Using the firm's balance
sheet, an investor can compare current assets and
current liabilities to assess liquidity; by comparing
debt to shareholder's equity and then seeing how leveraged
the company is; This gives a better idea of whether
the assets might include some hidden value.
