  6. Tasks Using the sheets provided, we are going to learn about the STRUCTURE of the balance sheet and how it is laid out at the simplest level. (Minty– Word Doc called Balance Sheet WJEC 2011 Resource Activity Cards) • Look at Minty Ltd together, • Complete activities called: Pinky Ltd and Genie Ltd, • Write in the definitions in the boxes and gaps provided, • Then we are ready to look more closely at the detail in the balance sheets…. Let’s …

  7. Notes: Two key terms… • Fixed Assets - Items the firm owns that will last MORE than a year – like buildings or computers. • Current Assets – Items the business OWNS or is OWED that will be turned in to CASH that is used up within a year e.g. stock; debtors; cash in the current bank account.

  8. Notes : Two key terms… • Current Liabilities - Items the firm OWES that it will have to PAY off in LESS than a year – such as its TRADE CREDITORS. • Working Capital – Current Assets MINUS Current Liabilities – in other words the money the business has working for it on a SHORT TERM day to day basis.

  9. Key Terms… • Net Assets - The total of HOW all the capital in the business is being used. It is found by adding WORKING CAPITAL to FIXED ASSETS. • Net Assets are the total of the TOP HALF of the Balance Sheet!

  10. Notes : Two key terms… • Long Term Liabilities - Items the firm OWES that it will have to PAY off in MORE than a year – such as its mortgage or a long term bank loan. • Share or Owners’ Capital – The money invested in the business by its owners.

  11. Notes : Two key terms… • Retained Profit - Profit the company has chosen to KEEP in the business for future investment or expansion rather than paying it out as dividends. • Capital Employed – The total of all the money invested in the business – the bottom half of the balance sheet.

  12. Next – let’s look at the various sections of the balance sheet in more detail…. • We’ll look at Genie Ltd together • Then you can test yourselves by working out the gaps for Jelly Bean Ltd and Piggy Ltd.

  13. Notes: Two more key terms… • Trade Debtors - where people/ customers owe you money because your business has sold them goods on credit (usually in business, if you sell goods to another business, you give them 30 days to pay) • Trade Creditors – when YOU/ YOUR business BUYS its SUPPLIES on TRADE CREDIT (again usually 30 days to pay).

  14. More Current Assets…. • Stock - is the value of goods the business has left on its premises when the balance sheet is written. It is a best estimate of what the goods in a shop or factory are worth if they were sold off in the next 12 months.

  15. Now – let’s test our understanding of the balance sheet in more detail…. • Now you can test yourselves by working out the gaps forJelly Bean LtdandPiggy Ltd.

  16. Challenge question - imagine…. • In the following year, imagine Genie Ltd had a really bad year and their sales and profits fall by £2,000 so profits end up being £3,000. • What items might change by £2,000 on the opposite side of the balance sheet? (as we know the balance sheet always has to balance)

  17. BIG Question! • If someone was thinking of investing in a business, WHY might they be interested in seeing the balance sheet? • Are there any SPECIFIC things you think they’d look at on the balance sheet? Explain why you think this….
