Sir, this is the most clear explanation of the BS and P&L relation that I have ever seen. I work in finance, but my work and experience has been always focused on the P&L, so I lack real knowledge of the BS. Your videos are extremely helpful for refreshing the knowledge. Thanks!
Hello Ruslan! Thank you very much for the kind words. Yes, in the various finance roles that I have done in the past, the focus was also mostly on the P&L.

1.I have read some articles which says that losses are shown on the asset side of the balance sheet !! 2. And i also know & have seen in companies balance sheets that losses are subtracted from retained earnings. I am confused about the first statement, are both the statement true? Arent we double counting the effect of loss if we follow both the statements?.
I agree with statement #2: see my video on retained earnings th-cam.com/video/xiwQh5E7JWQ/w-d-xo.html The only way I can make sense of statement #1 is that you could have (for example) an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, uncollectable receivables, obsolete inventory - all of these are occurring on the assets side of the balance sheet, lead to a charge in the income statement, and could lead to a company making a loss (negative profit) in a certain quarter or year. See also my video on asset impairment: th-cam.com/video/lWMDdtHF4ZU/w-d-xo.html
It's the fundamental idea behind the double entry accounting system (assets = liabilities + equity) plus the balance sheet totals tell you something about the size of the company. Here's the link to my balance sheet tutorial, walking through the statement for a real life company: th-cam.com/video/eIjCaeNm-Vk/w-d-xo.html
Hello Vanessa! No, those would go into the income statement. Here's a link to a tutorial on how to read an income statement: th-cam.com/video/Hq-44PHgAiU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the feedback, Joel! It is a problem in the English language. Sometimes the word "liabilities" is used to indicate the whole right-hand side of the balance sheet (the "broad" use), at other times it is used to only indicate money owed to creditors (banks, suppliers, etc. - the "narrow" use). You are correct that in the "narrow" sense of the word, the accounting equation states that assets = liabilities + equity. As far as I know, there is no separate word in English for the right-hand side of the balance sheet. In French, for example, the left-hand side is called "les actives" and the right-hand side "les passives", there is no equivalent for that in English.
Sir, u have mentioned account receivable as 200 then it's adjusted.. what if account receivable is 300.. The excess 100 rs where it will be adjusted... pls response ❤
The 200 in accounts receivable comes into existence when the invoicing occurs for the product delivered. 200 in the income statement for revenue, 200 on the balance sheet for the receivable. Hopefully, the customer will pay this invoice subsequently which will make the accounts receivable balance go to zero, and cash increase by 200. I am not sure what you mean with "adjusted accounts receivable". This balance does not jump up or down by itself. If the company generates additional sales, then the accounts receivable balance can go up. If the customer is unable or unwilling to pay, then the accounts receivable balance might have to be taken down. See my video on bad debt accounting th-cam.com/video/q7Whr_A4drE/w-d-xo.html
Hello Monir! In the example in this video, the company makes a profit, which is not distributed to shareholders. Therefore, it is added to the retained earnings account in the equity section of the balance sheet. If the sum of the accumulated profits and losses is a positive number, then the retained earnings account shows a positive balance. If the sum of the accumulated profits and losses is a negative number, then the retained earnings account shows a negative balance, and becomes a "contra equity account" (NOT an asset): th-cam.com/video/ixkdvOT7ZDI/w-d-xo.html
I have one question about quicks book. I want to add one hidden column in sale invoice as cost column... Which can be seen by our company n every time I can change the figures of both sale service N cost service. Can u help? But in print not showing cost column
all good, but equity should not have been labelled as a subcategory of liabilities but stands on its own as the third component of the BS such that A = L + E, or A - L = E...
Correct. It took me a while to figure out that the English language lacks a word for the right-hand side of the balance sheet. In French, it is called "les passives", in German "die Passiven", in many other languages a variation thereof. Only in English is it "liabilities and equity".
Don't understand why owned = owed. For example, business buys a truck and borrows 100,000. We owe 100,000. Let's say we pay interest only on the truck. After 5 yrs we still owe 100,000 because we didn't pay off any principle. The truck has been treated poorly and is now only worth 50,000. Doesn't "balance" and you wouldn't expect it to. Balance sheets make no sense.
Oh yes, it does balance. Initially, in your example you have 100K in assets and 100K in liabilities. Then you start using the truck (incurring depreciation) and you need to account for the interest on the loan as you correctly stated. Using your numbers, we record 10K per year in depreciation of the truck, and let's say 5K in interest expense per year. Those 15K in total are expenses in our income statement, that end up in retained earnings (part of equity) at the end of the year on the balance sheet. So if this is all the business has (which is very unlikely, hopefully you also generate some revenue from selling something), and forgetting about taxes at the moment (let's not make the example too complicated) then at the end of year 1 we have 90K in assets (100K purchase price of the truck minus 10K depreciation), in liabilities 105K in borrowings plus interest owed, and equity -15K (sum of depreciation expense and interest expense). At the end of year 5: 50K in assets (per your example: 100K purchase price minus 5 times 10K in depreciation), liabilities 125K (100K + 5 times 5K interest owed), and equity -75K (5 times 15K expenses per year). Now having that kind of significant negative equity would make you bankrupt, and the bank probably will have repossessed the truck by that time. Does that help?
My lecturer confused me so bad, she went on and on for 2hr's about something that could be explained perfectly in 4 mins. Why did she make it so difficult, I don't get it
