Law of Conservation of Energy
energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another. The same can be said about FUNDS in a business
15
Simple example Mr A starts a limited liability (PT A) by bringing in IDR 10,000,000 and putting it in a bank account. Owners investment – is called the Share Capital PT A – owes this money to the owner Any funds that is owed to the owners are called Share Capital Bank balance – is called an Asset How is the fund position ? From the PT A point of view Share capital : 10,000,000 Bank Balance (Cash) : 10,000,000 CAPITAL = ASSETS
16
What is the fund position now?
PT A obtains a bank loan of IDR 50 Million and buys equipment (IDR 45 Million) and raw materials (IDR 15 Million) to start a bakery and cake shop. What is the fund position now? Share capital : 10,000,000 Bank Loan : 50,000,000 Total : 60,000,000 Equipment : 45,000,000 Raw Materials : 15,000,000 Total : 60,000,000 The bank loan is called a liability – something the company owes to a third party. CAPITAL + LIABILITY = ASSET (basis of balance sheet, neraca saldo)
17
PT A after operating for 3 months reports
Sales : IDR 25,000,000 Purchases : (IDR 10,000,000) Salaries & oheads : (IDR 10,000,000) Total expenses : (IDR 20,000,000) Profit/Loss : IDR 5,000,000 (Assuming all transactions happened on cash basis) the profit is with PT A in the form cash So how will the fund position look now?
18
This is the simplest form of a balance sheet
What is the fund position now? Share capital : 10,000,000 Profit Reserve : 5,000,000 Bank Loan : 50,000,000 Total : 65,000,000 Equipment : 45,000,000 Cash : 5,000,000 Raw Materials : 15,000,000 Total : 65,000,000 Profit is the return a business gets for its entrepreneurship This is the simplest form of a balance sheet
