The focus on financial statements in finance is how managers and investors interpret and use them. A firm's annual report contains both verbal and quantitative information. The quantitative information consists of four financial statements: (1) Balance Sheet, (2) Income Statement, (3) Statement of Cash Flows, and (4) Statement of Stockholders' Equity. The balance sheet shows the firm's assets and claims against those assets. In other words, assets are equal to liabilities and equity. Assets are shown in order of their liquidity vand claims are listed in the order of when they must be paid. Current assets include cash and their equivalents, accounts receivable, and inventory, while long-term assets are those whose useful lives exceed one year. Liabilities are divided into -Select- vand long-term debt. We differentiate between total debt and total liabilities. A company's total debt includes both its short-term and long-term interest-bearing liabilities. Total liabilities equal -Select- plus the company's "free" liabilities. -Select- is the difference between current assets and current liabilities, while -Select- vis equal to operating current assets (calculated as current assets minus excess cash) less the difference between current liabilities and notes payable. -Select- vis capital supplied by common stockholders and represents ownership. The income statement reports on operations over a period of time. Companies' operating performances can be compared by looking at each firm's EBIT, often referred to as -Select- v. A typical stockholder focuses on the bottom line of the income statement, -Select- v. The income statement is tied to the -Select- through the retained earnings account. Net income minus -Select- paid is equal to the retained earnings for the year, and this amount is added to the cumulative retained earnings from prior years to obtain the year-end retained earnings balance. Management's goal is to maximize the firm's intrinsic value. The value of any asset, including a share of stock, is based on the -Select- the asset is expected to produce. Therefore, managers strive to maximize the -Select- available to investors. The statement of cash flows shows how much -Select- va firm is generating. It is divided into four parts: (1) Operating activities, (2) Investing activities, (3) Financing activities, and (4) Summary. Changes in stockholders' equity during an accounting period are reported in the statement of stockholders' equity. Changes in stockholders' equity can come from new stock issues, stock repurchases, net income, and -Select- paid.
