Document Summary

Accounting is a system to identify, measure and communicate all the financial activities of an individual or a business. Personal accounting tracks how much you are worth as an individual (net worth). It is important to maintain records of the activities that increase or decrease your net worth: net worth what you own minus (-) what you owe. Permanent document: surplus/deficit after taking total expenses away from revenue the remainding amount if positive (+) is called (cid:862) urplus(cid:863) and (cid:862)deficit(cid:863) if negative. The balance sheet is a permanent document that is used to track what you own (assets) what you owe (liabilities) and what you are worth (net worth) on a specific date. Assets are listed in order of liquidity, cash being the first. The income statement is a temporary document often shown along with the balance sheet that records transactions relation to revenue and expenses.

Whichfinancial statement(s) are needed to demonstrate the answer?Specifically demonstrate (with hypothetical numbers) how therelevant sections demonstrate this. 6 (10pts) What did you learnfrom this lab exercise?

1.) If you were to take a $150,000 line of credit through FarmCredit your liabilities and cash would automatically increase onthe balance sheet. Hypothetically speaking if your cash account had$100,000 and your total assets were $1,000,000 prior to taking outthe line of credit, your total assets would increase to $1,150,000and your cash account would increase to $250,000. If you alreadyhad $100,000 in notes payable, after accepting the line of creditthat account would increase to $250,000. With these increases thebalance sheet should still balance out if done correctly.

2.) An income statement could show a net profit but still notreflect the actual financial soundness of a business. Incomestatements show revenue and expenses but do not show the amount ofcash on hand and/or other liquid assets. Making it where it couldnot accurately represent the businesses ability to pay a loan back.It could read a net income of $450,000 but the balance sheet couldread that there is only $100,000 in cash and $250,000 inliabilities. To get an adequate representation of the businessesactual financial standing multiple financial statements must beused.

3.) Retained earnings show the relation between the balancesheet and income statement, events that cause net loss in cash flowwill decrease retained earnings. This is usually the result ofoperating costs/expenses. A decrease in retained earnings representa decrease in owners equity on the balance sheet, this is a resultfrom an increase in expenses. These relates to problem 1 somewhat.If you were to take out a loan of $200,000 and your cash was at$300,000 it would increase to $500,000. Subsequently your notespayable would increase by $200,000 as well. The accounts wouldbalance out in the end the same because they increased the same.However the interest expense would increase causing net farmincrease to decrease. The retained earnings would decrease as aresult of notes payable increasing.

4.) If the assets were purchased using cash your current assetswould increase and cash account would decrease because it waspurchased immediately with cash. If a new truck was purchased for$65,000 dollars your cash would decrease by that amount and yourcurrent assets account would increase by the same amount. If theasset was purchased at market value it doesn’t affect your equity,because nothing was gained or loss in the acquisition of thetruck.

5.) A final payment of $35,000 with 5% interest would decreasecash on the balance sheet and also decrease liabilities. Theinterest payments would increase and the farms net income woulddecrease on income statement. Statement of owners equity would showan increase on retained earnings amount.

6.) On this lab exercise I learned to show with words the thingswe have learned in class. I learned how to put into words thechanges we see in financial statements and how they affect theoutlook on a business. To me it makes more sense to see it in aword explanation than it does to look at it on paper. I feel like Ihave a better understanding of what is going on when it is inwritten form as opposed to when it is on a spreadsheet surroundedby other numbers where I get lost in it all. When it is in words Ithink it is easier to take that and go back to the financialstatement and really see it. I think this is an important part offinancial management whether you are the accountant or the businessowner. It is important to be able to understand financial recordsand how they affect your business or the person you are workingfor. Either way it is necessary to know somewhat of both sides tounderstand it fully.
