10. Cash on Hand ÷ Burn Rate = Number of Months before
The Burn Rate
The rate at which a company spends cash to cover overhead costs without generating a positive cash flow is called the burn rate.
Use the burn rate to calculate how long a company can go without revenue.
Cash on Hand ÷ Burn Rate = Number of Months before
Cash Runs Out

Section 11.2: The Balance Sheet

12. Assets – Liabilities = Owner’s Equity
What Is a Balance Sheet?
A balance sheet is a financial statement that summarizes the assets and liabilities (debts) of a business.
The balance sheet focuses on the fundamental accounting equation:
Assets include everything owned by the business that has a monetary value.
Liabilities include any outstanding bill or loan that must be repaid.
The value of the business on a specific date is referred to as the owner’s equity.
Assets – Liabilities = Owner’s Equity
Section 11.2: The Balance Sheet

13. What Is a Balance Sheet?
Assets are the items of value owned by a business.
Short-term assets that can be converted into cash within one year are current assets.
Assets that usually take longer than one year to turn into cash are long-term assets.
Liabilities are all sums of money owed by the business.
Short-term debts that must be repaid within one year are current liabilities.
Debts that usually take longer than one year to repay are long-term liabilities.
Section 11.2: The Balance Sheet

14. Preparing Balance Sheets
Balance sheets are divided into two sections: (1) Assets and
(2) Liabilities and Owner’s Equity.
To prepare a balance sheet:
Determine the value of the company’s assets.
Establish the value of the business’s long-term assets.
Verify the company’s total liabilities.
Determine the value of the business’s long-term assets.
Calculate the business's long-term liabilities.
Determine the owner’s equity.
Section 11.2: The Balance Sheet

15. Analyzing Balance Sheets
A business usually prepares one balance sheet at the beginning of its fiscal year and another at the end of it and compares them to determine whether the business is succeeding or not.
Using the Comparative Balance Sheet method, a business can see what has changed after one year by checking the differences between the beginning and ending balances.
With Same-Size Balance Sheet Analysis, a percentage column is added so that the business can quickly see the percentage change in all balance sheet items from one year to the next.
