The Basic Accounting Equation

Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

The balance sheet equation (Basic accounting equation)

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' equity From this equation, we can derive the following: Liabilities = Assets - Stockholders' equity Stockholders' equity = Assets - Liabilities

Cost Principle

Assets and liabilities are initially recorded at the amount paid

current assets

Assets that a company expects to pay or convert to cash or use up within one year

Non-current assets

Assets that will be in the business for longer than the financial period - usually one year.

Assets tell you if a company has sufficient resources to operate. They could be sold for cash in case a company goes out of business Investors and creditors look at a company's debts because they want to know whether the company in which they want to invest has sufficient sources of cash to pay its debts If a business does not pay its creditors, they may force the sale of assets sufficient to meet their claims. The sale of assets may fail to cover all the company's debts, and some creditors may take a loss. If a company goes out of business and its assets are sold, the proceeds of that sale must be used to pay back creditors such as American Bank before the owners receive any money. Creditors consider stockholders' equity a protective cushion.

Assets, debts, and stockholders' equity are important to creditors and investors?
