How to reason through balance sheet questions

A balance sheet follows Assets = Liabilities + Equity. If a company reports 25,000 in total assets and 10,000 in liabilities, equity is 15,000. The equation is a useful first check when a multiple-choice question gives three totals and asks for the missing value.

Transactions may change the composition of accounts without changing total assets. Buying equipment for 3,000 in cash increases equipment and decreases cash by the same amount. In contrast, borrowing 5,000 from a bank increases cash assets and increases the loan liability by 5,000, while equity is initially unchanged.

Liquidity questions compare short-term resources and obligations. If current assets are 9,000 and current liabilities are 3,000, the current ratio is 3, commonly written 3:1. It describes a relationship, not a guaranteed ability to pay every bill on time. Inventory quality and the timing of cash collections can also matter.

Before answering, identify whether an account belongs to assets, liabilities or equity, and distinguish a transaction at a point in time from activity over a period.
