4. What is a statement of owner’s equity?
QUESTION:
What is a statement of owner’s equity?
ANSWER:
A statement of owner’s equity is a formal report of changes that occurred in the owner’s financial interest during a reporting period.
The statement of owner’s equity is the second financial statement prepared for a business. It is created after the income statement but before the balance sheet. It reports the changes that occurred in the owner’s financial interest during the reporting period. It would include information about investments and withdrawals as well as the net income or net loss of the business during the period.

Balance Sheet
December 31, 2007
Assets
Cash ,500.00
Accounts Receivable , Supplies ,000.00
Prepaid Rent ,000.00
Equipment ,000.00
Total Assets ,500.00
Liabilities
Accounts Payable ,000.00
Owner’s Equity
Jason Taylor, Capital ,500.00
Total Liabilities and Owner’s Equity ,500.00
In preparing a balance sheet, remember the three line heading: who, what and when. The ending capital balance from the statement of owner’s equity is also used to prepare the balance sheet. Dollar signs are omitted when financial statements are prepared on paper with ruled columns. Statements that are prepared on plain paper, not ruled forms, show dollar signs with the first amount in each column and with each total. Balance sheets prepared using the account form show total assets on the same horizontal line as the total liabilities and owner’s equity.
A single line shows that the amounts above it are being added or subtracted. A double line indicates final amounts for the column or section of a report.

13. Notice any difference in the date line??

The when (date) line on the balance sheet is only good for one day but the other two financial statement date lines show a period of time. Put another way, the income statement and the statement of owner’s equity are like a movie covering a period of time but the balance sheet is only a snap shot of one day.
