    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The balance sheet is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point in time. It reports the balances in asset, liability, and owner's equity accounts. This means that it shows the values of the company's assets (such as cash, inventory, and property), liabilities (such as loans and accounts payable), and owner's equity (such as retained earnings and contributed capital). By reporting these balances, the balance sheet helps stakeholders understand the financial health and stability of the company.

    The basic accounting equation is

    • Assets + Revenue = Profit

    • Assets + Liabilities = Owner's Equity

    • Revenue + Assets + Owner`s Equity

    • Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

    Correct Answer
    A. Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity. This equation represents the fundamental principle of accounting, stating that the total value of a company's assets is equal to the sum of its liabilities and owner's equity. Assets are the resources owned by the company, liabilities are the debts or obligations of the company, and owner's equity represents the owner's investment in the business. This equation provides a snapshot of the financial position of a company at a given point in time.

    • The trial balance

    • The balance sheet

    • The journal

    Correct Answer
    A. The trial balance
    Explanation
    The income statement is prepared using information from the trial balance. The trial balance is a summary of all the accounts in the general ledger, which includes the balances of all the revenue and expense accounts. By using the trial balance, the accountant can determine the net income or loss for a specific period of time and present it in the income statement. The balance sheet, on the other hand, provides information about the company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time, and the journal is used to record individual transactions.
