Analysis of Financial Statements

Question:
Which of the following statement is correct ?
Options:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders funds
Assets = Total funds
Assets = Funds of outsiders
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders funds
Explanation:
This statement represents the fundamental accounting equation, which states that the total assets of a company are equal to the sum of its liabilities and shareholders' equity (also referred to as shareholders' funds or owner's equity). It is the foundation of the balance sheet and reflects the principle that a company's assets must be financed either by borrowing (liabilities) or by the investment of the owners (shareholders' equity).
