questions:
• How much is the total revenue earned by the business
during the period covered by the statement?
• What is the cost of the goods sold or the cost of the
services in earning the revenue?
• How much is the total operating expenses incurred in
realizing the revenue?
The income statement provides
relevant information for a specific
period, whereas the balance sheet
reflects information that is valid only
on the given date. Therefore, if the
balance sheet is dated March 31, the
information displayed on it is accurate
and applicable only as of March 31.
Balance sheet is also called the statement of financial
position. These titles, however, are used accordingly in different
contexts.
The said title is more
appropriate for large whereas the title
businesses like banks ‘business balance
and other similar sheet’ is more suited
corporations, for small businesses.
