Financial Statement Class 11 Notes

Financial statements, as the word is self-explanatory, are those statements that show a clear picture of profitability (income statement) and financial position (balance sheet) of the business at the end of an accounting period. As we always say that though accountancy or accounts is a practical subject, it’s theory is equally important to understand. Hence the theory of Accountancy can not be ignored for better understanding and working. To understand the concepts and theory related to Financial Statement Class 11, both of which are chapters of class 11, read this blog till the end so that you are thorough with the concepts.

Financial Statements 

Financial statement class 11 first begins with understanding what is a financial statement. As John N. Myer had quoted that the financial statements provide a summary of the accounts of a business or an organisation, the balance sheet reflecting the assets, liabilities and capital as on a certain date and the income statement showing the result of operation during a certain period. The financial statement is a broad term that includes 3 major components. These are:

• Income statements 
• Statement of Financial Position 
• Schedules and notes forming part of Balance sheet and income statement

Objectives Of Preparing Financial Statements

As per Financial Statement class 11 chapters, the main objectives to prepare a financial statement at the end of an accounting period are as follows:

• To present a fair and true view of the financial performance of the business i.e., the profits and the losses at the end of the financial period.
• To present a true and a fair view of the financial position of the business i.e., the assets and the liabilities at the end of the financial period. 

Capital Expenditure vs Revenue Expenditure vs Deferred Revenue Expenditure

Moving further in Financial Statement Class 11, there is a comparison between capital expenditure vs revenue expenditure vs deferred revenue expenditure. Capital expenditures are those expenditures whose benefit is derived by the business for more than one year. These expenditures are recorded on the assets side of the Balance sheet. Example: purchase of fixed assets, payment of goodwill, decrease in long term debts etc.

On the contrary, the recurring expenditures as the name suggests are those expenditures that are incurred for operating the business smoothly and which help to maintain the business’s earning capacity. These expenditures are shown on the debit side of the income statement i.e. the trading and profit and loss account. Example: purchase of goods during the year, expenses such as salaries, wages, postage, carriage etc.

Deferred revenue expenditures are those expenditures which are although revenue in nature, but the heavy amount spent and the derived benefit can be used over a number of years. An example can be heavy expenses on advertising, promotions, launching a new product or service etc. 

Capital Receipts vs Revenue Receipts

Capital receipts are those receipts that are irregular receipts and don’t affect the profit and loss account or the income statement of the business. It either increases the liabilities or reduces the fixed assets and hence shown in the balance sheet of the business. 

On the contrary, the revenue receipts under financial statement class 11, are those receipts that are received in the normal course of business. Examples can be receipts earned from sales, a commission earned, rent received and more. These receipts hence increase the profit in the profit and loss account. 

Types Of Expenses 

As per financial statement class 11, expenses can be categorised into 2 categories that are:

• Direct expenses: direct expenses are those expenses of the business which are incurred on purchasing of goods and for converting raw material into the finished goods. For example, manufacturing wages or production expenses etc. These expenses are shown on the debit side of the trading account. 
• Indirect expenses: indirect expenses are those expenses which are not directly related to production or purchase of the goods or any services of the business. On the contrary, it includes those expenses which are related to office and administration, selling and distribution of goods and financial expenses etc. These expenses are shown on the debit side of the profit and loss account. 

Some Important Formulas 

Mentioned below are some important formulas which are related to financial statement. You can have a look here: 

• Gross Profit= Net Sales- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
• Net Sales= Total Sales- Sales Return 
• Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)= Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Direct Expenses – Closing Stock
• Net Purchases= Total Purchases- Purchases Return 
• Operating Profit=Net sales- Operating Cost
• Operating Profit= Gross Profit- (office and administration expenses + selling and distribution expenses)
• Net Profit= Operating Profit + Non operating income – Non operating expenses

Note: Operating Profits are also known as EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) 

Income Statements

According to the financial statement class 11 chapters, the income statements are prepared by the organisation or a business to ascertain correct and accurate gross profits or losses and net profits or losses during an accounting period. The income statements are further divided into two accounts or parts:

• Trading Account: The trading account shows the gross profits earned or gross losses incurred by the business during a financial year. 
• Profit and Loss Account: the P/L Account shows the net profits earned or net losses incurred by the business during a financial period.

Balance Sheet

According to the financial statement class 11 chapters, a balance sheet is a summarised statement of assets and liabilities that is prepared at the end of the financial year. It is made to show the financial position of the business or the organisation. All the assets are placed on the right side of the balance sheet and all the liabilities at the left side. Please remember these points:

• The assets are arranged in the order of the liquidity in the balance sheet. This means that the most liquid asset example the cash in hand is shown first and the least liquid assets such as the goodwill is shown last. 
• The liabilities are arranged in the order of timing. This means that the liabilities which are to be paid immediately or at first are shown first such as the creditors and the liabilities which are to be paid later are shown at the last such as long term loans.
