How Is Equity Valued on a Balance Sheet Template? There are two types of capital that are typically put in the company. These are stock, contributed capital, etc. and then, the earnings of the company, usually called retained earnings. Capital that is contributed is pretty straightforward. If your assets are something other than cash, such as machinery, or stock in another business, use the rules for the valuation of assets. This means you should choose the lessor of cost or fair market value.
Unlike the income statement, the balance sheet does not report activities over a period of time. The balance sheet is essentially a picture a company’s recourses, debts, and ownership on a given day. This is why the balance sheet is sometimes considered less reliable or less telling of a company’s current financial performance than a profit and loss statement. Annual income statements look at performance over the course of 12 months, where as, the statement of financial position only focuses on the financial position of one day.
