why should assets and liabilities on a balace sheet match?

Assets = liabilities + equity\n\nThis formula works because a firm will have certain assets, and anything that they don't owe is value for the shareholders.\n\nFor example, on a company with pure cash of 10 dollars.  If the liabilities are 5 dollars, then the leftover 5 is value to the person who owns the company.  Theoretically, if the company got sold at 100% efficiency, there would be 5 dollars left, so the owners have a total value of that 5 dollars.

The satement of financial position is the same as the balance sheet. In it, you list your assets, liabilities and equity with their corresponding values.  Ask your accountant for specifics.

If there was a lawsuit won against the company for damages then the liablity is "Limited" to the assets of the company, not the assets of the owners of that company, that is the main difference, there are also different regulations regarding the reporting of accounts etc.

A lot depends on the length or complexity of the topic. Normally I would include all topics that relate to a single item.\n\nFor example. If I sold a house and I had several things incumbant upon the purchaser to complete prior to closing I would include them together because they are all related to the same transaction such as.\n\nLoan application\nInspection report\nTermite treatment\nClosing date\n\nEach is a topic of it's own relating to the same transaction.

You would list the entire balance of what is still owed at the date of the balance sheet.\n\nThe balance sheet is a snapshot in time of the company assets, liabilities, and equity.\n\nThe amount of the monthly payment would be deducted from the total balance of what is owed each time...but in the balance sheet you list all of what is still owed.\n\nHowever, if you are doing a classified balance sheet, you would list only what is owed within a year in the "current assets" section, and the rest in the "long term liabilities" section.

It's actually D.  A isn't correct because we aren't given the covariance between the two securities.  The portfolio risk is not the simple weighted average of the individual risks. \n\nThe formula is\n\nsquare root of the sum of the weights multiplied with the covariances.\n\nIf the securities are negatively correlated, the total risk can be less than either of the individual securities.  If they're positively correlated, the portfolio risk goes up.

Most important aspect of the financial statement is the balance sheet.  On the balance sheet you show the total assets on top (cash, investments, real estate, etc.), then show liabilities (notes payable, loans, etc.) and then net worth (assets minus liabilities).

Two seperate entities. Therefore the liabilty of one will not affect another.

The principle for valuation of an asset:\n\n"all the expenses incurred on an asset before brining the asset into useful condition goes into the value of the asset (is direct expenditure for the asset)"\n\nIf the Book-Value has become Zero, it should be so...\n\nReal value of an asset is dependent on market conditions and Book value is dependent on the depreciation methodology adopted..\n\nJust because the asset has a certain real value, we cannot change the book value... It amounts to changing your policy of recording the value of assets (depreciating the assets) which is against "consistency"\n\n\nIf there is an expenditure that is to be met regularly for keeping the asset in shape for being used, it can be treated as revenue expenditure and charged to the profit and loss account regularly.\n\nIf there is an expenditure that would bring about a fundamental change in the capability (usefulness) of the asset then it should be capitalised.  This expenditure should be debited to the asset account in which case the asset would acquire some value again..\n\nHowever, there are certain situations where you may feel that revaluing the asset is prudent and in such cases if the asset is revalued (as per acceptable policies both accounting and legal) the asset account may acquire some value ...\n\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/

Because even though they're off the balance sheet, they might affect the future cash flow and ability for the bank to meet requirements.  It might also have to do with reserve requirements and credit rating, but I didn't look those 2 up.

Perhaps they mean the ledgers or the account books that you actually use to keep a running total of income and expenditure... If so, you need to describe how and why they are used and include some example pages from account books themselves.... Check with tutor or teacher just to make sure.

you have payments that you made during a period of time, which sometimes you post on your checkbook, or if you have a company in your accounting records. You also have checks that you received in the same period of time. When the period ends, the money on your records need to match with what the bank has. Sometimes it does not, because a check has not been posted yet, or there was an administrative error on your size or the bank's.
