1.4.1.2. The Balance SheetThe balance sheet is a document that summarizes a company’s assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity. On the balance sheet, assets are what the company owns, liabilities are what the company owes, and shareholders’ equity is what’s left over, the company’s net worth. The balance sheet is different from the income statement in that it shows financial information at a particular point in time rather than over a period of time.
The balance sheet is represented by the following equation:
assets = liabilities + shareholders’ equity
This equation demonstrates that at all times a company’s assets must be equivalent in value to the combined value of the company’s liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
I wanted to add my testimonial to the long list of successful test-takers. Passed my Series 65 today on the first try! The materials were well written and made the concepts easier to understand (especially to someone with no background in finance like myself). I was a big fan of the audio format as I have a long drive back and forth to work (other test prep providers did not have this option). The test simulators were also a huge help. Thanks to the folks at Solomon Prep!

Well, I finally was able to take my Series 65 and passed with an 85%. I think that the combination of your Series 65 text along with our other vendor made all the difference. It was good to have an additional reference for clarity and in some cases more detailed and straight forward discussion. Thank you for the materials.

I thought the study material from Solomon Exam Prep was
great. It helped me focus on the sections where I needed to study the
most. I passed with an 81% on my first try for the Series 65 exam.
I would definitely use Solomon Exam Prep again if I need to get any more
licenses.

I passed my series 65 exam on the first attempt! The books and sample questions are always very helpful. I leveraged this course with another program that was offered to me. I did mainly use this one and found the material very helpful. Overall, I would say the test questions that were in the book and online were much more difficult than the exam itself. I do like the crash course piece, but would also love the option of a instructional video which is what the other course offered. I learn not just by readying, but visually as well. The combination of the two were very helpful, but overall I felt the material, especially the sample test questions, were more comprehensive. Thank you for the material.
