It shows the book value of the company’s net worth. ❖ The Income Statement is sometimes called the statement of profit and loss because it shows the company’s profitability. ❖ The Statement of Cash Flows measures the difference in cash flow for the year. It is divided into operations, investments, and finance. ❖ The Statement of Retain Earnings shows the change in the retained earnings account and dividends over a period of time.

12. What links the statements… ❖ The balance sheet mirrors the accounting equation and state items in terms of book value. It is linked to the income statement by the DuPont Identity. ❖ The income statement is linked to the balance sheet because owners equity is made up of revenue and expenses, which is how the income statement is developed. It is also linked to the balance sheet by the DuPont Identity. ❖ The statement of retained earnings uses data from the balance sheet and income statement to make it’s calculations. ❖ The statement of cash flows uses data from the balance sheet and income statement to track the flow of cash.
