Question
Multiple Choice QuestionWhich of the following statements are true about a balance sheet that you are reviewing on 1/15/2018 that shows an "as of" date of 12/31/2017 and assets of 425,000?Multiple choice question.The assets as of 1/15/2018 have a market value of 425,000 as of 12/31/2017 and 1/15/2018.The net worth is 175,000 as of 1/15/2018.
Solution
The correct answer is: "The liabilities, which don't change much, are 175,000 as of 12/31/2017."
Here's why:
-
"The assets as of 1/15/2018 have a market value of $600,000." - This statement is not necessarily true. The balance sheet is showing the assets as of 12/31/2017, not 1/15/2018. The value of the assets could have changed in the intervening period.
-
"The liabilities, which don't change much, are $425,000 as of 12/31/2017 and 1/15/2018." - This statement could be true. The balance sheet shows the liabilities as of 12/31/2017. If the liabilities don't change much, it's reasonable to assume they're about the same on 1/15/2018.
-
"The net worth is 600,000 (assets) - 175,000 (net worth).
-
"The net worth is $175,000 as of 1/15/2018." - This statement is not necessarily true. The balance sheet is showing the net worth as of 12/31/2017, not 1/15/2018. The net worth could have changed in the intervening period.
