Chapter 3. Financial Statements, Cash Flows, and Taxes
The annual report contains a verbal section plus four key statements: the balance sheet, income statement, statement of
stockholders‘ equity, and statement of cash flows. These statements contain a wealth of information that is used by
bankers, stock and bond analysts, and managers. Hence, they are quite important. Spreadsheets are used both to create
and to analyze these statements, as we demonstrate in this model.
The balance sheet can be thought of as a snapshot in time of a firm’s financial position. You can observe the firm’s level
of assets and the manner in which they have used debt and equity to fund those assets.
This model is STRICTLY OPTIONAL. Neither students nor instructors need to go through it. However, if someone wants
to practice with Excel, then the model can be useful. Also, on the tabs we show solutions for the within-chapter self-test
questions, if applicable.
