The four sections of balance sheet are;1.
Assets2.
Liabilities3.
Owner equity (OE)4.
Increase or decrease of OE It is prepared normally in two columns.
Left (Assets), Right (Liabilities+OE) The formula is; Assets= Liabilities+OE If the left side (Asset) is greater than the right side (Liabilities+OE), the profit or OE increases or vice-versa.

  • Assets
  • Liabilities
  • owner's equity
    • it is called balance sheet because

      owner's equity=Assets-liabilities

Balance sheet is a statement containing Liabilities and Assets, Liabilities may be Fixed liability or Current liability, Asset also may be Fixed or Current.
at preparation time, there we have two choice to prepare, preparation on the basis of liquidity of assets or may be on the basis of permanancy.
when you select liquidity order, add all current assets first,then after fixed.
it is based on how fast the asset converted into cash, so first item is cash in hand and second may be bank.
According to permanancy order, you have to add fixed assets first, then current.

The four sections are: On the Assets side, we have Fixed Assets and Current Assts. Whil on the Capital and liablity side we have the Capital and Liabilities. The Liabilities may contain current and long term.

 

Under normal circumstance, both the Assets and Capital/Liabilties side must balance. That is if you are using T-Format of Balance Sheet.

 

If you are using straight line, The calculation is Assets minus Liabilities equal Owners Equity.
