A Projection of a Financial Position

We begin our study of financial statements with Statement of Financial

Position. Statement of Financial Position (SFP) also known as balance sheet
shows the financial condition of the business entity at any given time.

This financial statement conveys information about the business entity’s

liquidity, solvency, stability, capital structure, and financial flexibility.

The accounting elements of the financial position are Assets, Liabilities and
Equity. (See Figure 1)

Assets Liabilities Equity

= +

Figure 1: The Accounting Equation

The assets are on the left side of the equation while liabilities and equity
are on the right side of the equation. The total assets should always be equal
to the total liabilities and total equity.

This module will provide you with information and activities that will
help you understand the Statement of Financial Position.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Identify the elements of the Statement of Financial Position (SFP) and

describe each item (ABM_FABM12 – Ia-b-1):

2. Prepare an SFP using the report form and the account form with the proper
classification of items as current and noncurrent. (ABM_FABM12 – Ia-b-4).

Before going on, check how much you know about this topic. Answer
the pre-test on the next page in a separate sheet of paper.

I. THE ELEMENTS OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

1. Assets are the resources with future benefits that are within the control of the
company. Resources are classified into accounts based on its future use to the
company. Assets are recorded in the books of accounts with a normal debit balance.
There are the classification of assets; current and noncurrent assets.

Current assets are assets that can be realized (collected, sold, used up) one
year after year-end date. Examples include Cash, Receivable, Merchandise
Inventory and Prepaid Expenses.

a. CASH is any item on hand with monetary value that a bank will accept for deposit
and all small amounts currently on deposit with the bank in the name of business.
This includes coins and currencies, personal checks, money orders, traveler’s checks
made payable to the business and bank drafts. Also included are any funds that are
currently on deposit at a bank and readily available as checking and savings account

b. RECEIVABLES refers to the company’s right to collect or claim payment. Accounts

Receivables are amounts due from customers arising from credit sales or credit
services. Notes Receivable is another kind of receivable. It is evidenced by promissory
notes. Promissory notes is a legal document that says the borrower promises to pay
on scheduled payments dates, a specific sum called the principal and interest based
on principal and stated interest to sign a promissory note. The company may also
lend to its employees or other companies is the company has excess cash.

c. INVENTORIES are assets held for sale in the normal operation of the business, in
the process of production for sale, or in the form of materials or supplies to be
consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services. Examples are
merchandise inventory, work-in-process inventory, and raw materials inventory.

d. PREPAID EXPENSES are expenses paid in advance. It is placed in this account

until the services or items are used and become expenses. Recall the concept of
accrual discussed in FABM 1, expenses are recorded only when purchased goods
and services are used.

For example, prepaid subscribers in buying load or cards, they essentially pay
the phone companies prior to using their services. On the other hand, post paid
subscribers pay only after they are billed for the services used. Accrual accounting
states that expense is recognized only when phone services are used, regardless of
whether they are prepaid or post-paid subscribers – it is Prepaid Expense. When the
load is consumed, the cost of the card is transferred out to Prepaid Expense and into
Communication/Telephone Expense.

LU_Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management 2_Module1

 Another kind of prepaid expense is Insurance. The insured will pay premium
at the beginning of contract period and the insurer (insurance company) will
reimburse the insured party for losses if the insured event occur.

Noncurrent assets are assets that cannot be realized (collected, sold, used
up) one year after the year-end date. Examples include Property, Plant and
Equipment (equipment, furniture, building, land) and Long-term investments.

a. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT or PPE for short, are long-lived assets
which have been acquired for use in operations. Only those assets owned and
controlled by the company will be recorded as PPE. Rented facilities and equipment
are excluded from PPE.

b. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS are intangible assets like PPE. The allocation of the
cost of intangible assets to the year it was used is called amortization. It is computed
like depreciation such that the cost of the asset is amortized evenly over its useful
life. The main difference between the two assets is that intangible assets have no
tangible properties. These are assets that you cannot touch or see. There may be a
piece of paper as evidence of the asset, but the actual asset is “intangible”. Some
examples of Intangible assets are patent, brand name and trademark. A patent is a
grant conferred by the government to the creator of an invention for a specified
period. In recent years, the patent infringement cases between Samsung and Apple
filled the business news. Brand-name refers to word or words used to identify a
specific product and its manufacturers. Famous brands include Jollibee,
McDonalds, Apple, Coca-Cola, Samsung, and Nike. Trademark is the symbol that
represents the brand. For example, red happy bee for Jollibee, tall clown in stripes
for McDonalds, a checkmark for Nike.

Contra Valuation Accounts:

• Allowance for doubtful accounts – refers to an amount estimated

uncollectible on receivable in compliance with the principle of conservatism.
It is credited to serve as a contra account for the related receivable. Other terms
used to describe this account are “allowance for uncollectible account” and
“allowance for bad debts”.
• Accumulated Depreciation – the aggregate periodic costs of using a
depreciable plant asset. In accordance with the systematic cost allocation
principle, the acquisition cost or depreciable plant asset should be allocated
as expense over its useful life. Examples are accumulated depreciation of
building, accumulated depreciation of equipment, etc.

2. Liabilities these are present obligations to pay cash or cash equivalents by an

entity. In other words, they represent claims against the assets of the business.
Liabilities have normal credit balance. These are the classification of liabilities,
current and noncurrent liabilities.

LU_Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management 2_Module1

 Current Liabilities are liabilities that fall due (paid, recognized as revenue)
with one year after year-end date. Examples include Accounts payable, Notes
payable, Accrued Expenses, Unearned Income.

a. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE an obligation or debt to creditors for money borrowed or

merchandise and other assets bought on credit.

b. NOTES PAYABLE a promissory note issued by the business to its creditors for
money borrowed or merchandise and other assets bought on credit.

c. ACCRUED EXPENSES are expenses that are incurred but not yet paid. Examples
are salaries payable, taxes payable)

d. UNEARNED INCOME is cash collected in advance; the liability is the services to

be performed or goods to be delivered in the future.

NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES are liabilities that do not fall due (paid,

recognize as revenue) within one year after year-end date.

a. LOANS PAYABLE

b. MORTGAGE PAYABLE

3. Equity is the residual amount after deducting liabilities from assets. It comprises
the capital contribution of the owner and withdrawals by the owner. It is increased
by capital contribution of the owner and net income of the business and decreased
by the owner’s withdrawals and net losses of the business.

Owner’s Equity is described as owner’s capital (sole proprietorship), partner’s capital

(partnership) and shareholders’ equity (corporation). These accounts have normal
credit balances.

• Drawing is a temporary account used initially the amount taken by the owner
from the business. This is closed to the capital account of the owner at the
end of accounting period.

II. CLASSIFICATIONS IN PREPARING SFP
1. ACCOUNT FORM

2. REPORT FORM
The Statement of Financial
Position, SFP (Balance Sheet)
shows the financial condition of the
business at any given time. It also
starts with the heading
compromised the following:

• Name of the business

(who?)
• Name of the statement
(what?)
• Date of the statement
(when?)

Observe that the date of the

business starts with the words “as
of”. This means the SFP can be
prepared anytime even if the
operation of the business has not
yet started yet. As long as the
business has assets contributed by
owners or creditors, the SFP can be
prepared.

The SFP presented on the left side

is an example of a report form. The
SFP can also be presented in its
account form as shown above.
