How do we see human capital on the balance sheet?
107705
When you buy a company for an amount in excess of its book value, you can book the excess amount as "goodwill," which is categorized as an intangible assets.\n\nUsually things like brand are categorized into this.\n\nHowever, it is unusual to put human capital (i.e, a trained staff) into a balance sheet because, unlike all other assets, human capital can leave at will.

A Balance Sheet is a snapshot of a company's financial position at a given point in time. The basic Balance Sheet equation is ASSETS = LIABILITIES. Broadly, the Assets are properties and other things of value which the company owns and claims against others; the Liabilities are the financial obligations of the company. In law, the company is a separate legal entity. Thus, for instance if A owns 100% of the shares of a company (a limited liability company), since the company is legally, a totally separate entity from A, A's shareholdings in the company, is a financial obligation of the company and is thus a liability of the company. So for the company (i.e. on the books of the company), the OWNER'S EQUITY is a liability to the company. On the books it is represented as a separate entity.  Thus, the balance sheet equation is written: ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNER'S EQUITY, i.e. A = L + OE.\n\nNow, OE has two elements, (i) CAPITAL --- essentially the funds which the shareholders inject into the company and (ii)RETAINED EARNINGS ----- these are funds which are retained in the company in lieu of being paid to the shareholders as dividends. The RE plus the dividends would be, at the end of an acounting period, the company earnings for that accounting period.  RE are cumulative, time period to time period. Of course, the company earnings are, in fact, a financial obligation of the company in favor of the shareholders. So if they are not paid to the shareholders at the end of the accounting period, i.e. if they are retained in the company, they are a liability to the company. So we get: A = L + OE becomes A = L + C + RE.  This is the basic balance sheet equation.\n\nNow, as said, the RE come from the EARNINGS (the INCOME). Basically, the INCOME is the difference between the REVENUES and EXPENSES. That is, INCOME = REVENUES - EXPENSES. This is, essentially, the Income Statement equation. Now, assuming no dividends paid, then RETAINED EARNINGS = REVENUES - EXPENSES.  Thus A = L + C + RE, where, NOTE, RE means retained earnings,  becomes:\n\n       A = L + C + R - E  i.e.\n\nAssets = Liabilities + Capital + Revenues - Expenses.\n\nNow this can be written, to make all signs in the equation positive:  A + E = L + C + R.  This is the combined Balance Sheet and Income Statement equation.  This equation shows the 5 basic types of accounts in Accounting. It also highlights something else. Expenses are handled, in the Ledger, as are Assets.  Capital and Revenue items are handled as are Liabilities.  "Handled" here refers to how the Dual Entry System of Accounting works. The basic concept which applies here is that for each transaction in which a company is involved, the total value of the DEBITS must equal the total value of the CREDITS. Now, in accounting, a DEBIT is nothing more than a left hand entry in a "T" account in the Ledger.  A CREDIT is nothing more than a right hand entry. That's it. No more, no less.\nNow, an increase in an asset is a debit, so dec. in asset is a credit, and a dec. in liability is a debit and an inc. in a liability is a credit.  So one merely has to remember one of these, e.g. an increase in an asset is a debit.\n\nNow, recall, expenses are handled as assets. So an increase in an expense is a debit.  Also capital accounts and revenues are handled as liabilities. So, an increase in a capital account or a revenue is a credit.\n\nThese are the principles employed to balance the books. The balanced books provide the numbers that are transferred to the Balance Sheet to the various Asset (Short term and Lond term Assets), Liability (Short term and Long term) and Capital items.  The asset items are normally set up on the left hand side of the bal. sht. and the liability and capital items on the right hand side, with liability items laid out above capital items.  For short and long term assets and liabilities, the short term items are laid out above the long term items. Any basic acco

In some ways, yes, beause it shows the speed at which your market is turning in cash rather than disbursing it in real time, at the very least, daily.  Your accounting profit is a rather static measure of your performance for the accounting period covered.

Many approaches:\n\n1) Discount cash flow method. Work out all the projected free cash flows of the company and then do a dcf on it. The key is not in doing up the model - the key is in your assumptions (as in all models);\n\n2) Multiples - look for a listed company in a similar industry and use a EBITDA multiple to find out an approx value. Check yahoo finance - it is rather good for info finding;\n\n3) Asset valuation method - not as accurate as the above but add up all the assets of the company. Note that the sum may be worth more than each piece if all is functioning together well;\n\n4) replacement value - check out the market values of all the assets and value that. \n\n5) Net Asset Value - Assets minus liabilities for a really general ballpark figure. \n\nI generally use 1 & 2. 3-5 are just very general guides.

It could be a business term, when you look at the financial statements of a company, there are different sections, the balance sheet, the income statement, and within those you have the "net" income, and net worth of a company. \n\nThe net income is income after all expenses, giving you the true net, which generally would come over onto the balance sheet to form the net worth of the company. \n\nIt sounds more confusing than it is really, I would recommend taking a business class, or asking someone who you may know that has a business, if they can show you their balance sheets, as you are learning or curious how financial statements are prepared. \n(this info is private though, so some may not wish to share).\ngood luck.

You can determine the book value by taking owners equity (assets less liabilities) and dividing by the number of outstanding shares.\n\nYou could attempt to determine some type of fair maket value by getting a multiple of price to earnings from a publicly traded company of a similar size and similar business and multiplying that times net income of the company your trying to value.  You would then need to discount that for lack marketabilty (maybe 15%). Then divide this result by the number of outstanding shares.  There are a lot of factors that go into valuation not discussed here but this gives you a VERY ROUGH GUESS.

Do your homework is the only answer.  What does that mean? It means dig into the balance sheet. Look at the ratios.  What are they saying about the company? How do the ratios compare to other companies in the same industry? What is happening with the company? Is it making money? is it making money and increasing sales, or is it increasing revenue on the same clients? How is it growing? How good is the management? What is happening in its industry? what stage of the growth cycle is the company in? what about the industry? How is the macroeconomic environment affecting the company? Is globalization good or bad for it?  Do you get the point I am trying to make?  You have to have answers to all these questions, and those answers have to be solid.  Don't rely on looking at charts or any of those unproven methods. Charts are a picture of the past, and when you are long stocks, you only care about the future.  Know the stock, know your reasoning for owning it, and know why you should keep it.  If you cant answer all of those, you should hire a professional to manage you money for you. I hope this helps.
