The student will learn how to complete the financial balance sheet Objectives: 2. The student will calculate and analyze net worth statements</p><p>3. The student will calculate and interpret financial ratios from a balance sheet</p><p>Time: Two fifty minute periods.</p><p>Resource(s): Agribusiness: Decisions and Dollars by Jack Elliot, Delmar Publishing.</p><p>Farm and Ranch Business Management by John Deere Publishing</p><p>Italicized words are instructions to the teacher; normal style text is suggested script. Instructions, Tools, Equipment, and LCD projection equipment connected to computer to show PowerPoint as well as balance sheet Supplies: examples (printed and computerized). A sample balance sheet is included with this lesson. You may want to print PowerPoint handouts for the students instead of having them write all the notes. Also included is a balance sheet assignment and key.</p><p>Interest Approach: Rough Draft A – a day or two ahead of time, collect small farm toy type figures and/or actual items that can represent various assets and liabilities. To introduce the lesson, ask students to group the items into 4 different categories based on similarities and what they have in common. This will start students visualizing items that fit into the current and non- current and asset and liability groups of a balance sheet.</p><p>Objective 1: The student will learn how to complete the financial balance sheet</p><p>Unit 1, Lesson 4: Completing and Analyzing the Balance Sheet 1 1. What are the four major categories needed to complete the balance sheet?</p><p> a. Current assets – items that can be used or sold and converted to cash within one year, without disrupting the business</p><p> b. Non-current assets – items used to produce a product, not sold within a year.</p><p> c. Current liabilities – debt payable with one year</p><p> d. Non-current liabilities – debt that is due beyond one year</p><p>2. List multiple examples of current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities, and non-current liabilities:</p><p> a. Current assets – cash, checking accounts, savings accounts, stocks, life insurance, market livestock, harvested and growing crops, accounts receivable, inventory purchased for resale, consumable supplies</p><p> b. Non-current assets – breeding livestock, equipment, machinery, buildings, land, improvements to land (fences, etc.). </p><p> c. Current liabilities – accounts payable, depreciation, interest, taxes, current portion of principal from non-current debt, operating loans</p><p> d. Non-current liabilities – debt on non-current assets, mortgages, real estate debt.</p><p>3. What should be done to complete filling out the balance sheet?</p><p> a. Accurately list the value of all assets and liabilities in the appropriate categories. </p><p> b. Current assets are listed first followed by non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities.</p><p> c. There are two ways to assign valuation for the assets and liabilities:</p><p> Cost Valuation – better evaluation of performance</p><p> Market Valuation – truer representation of asset values</p><p> d. Add to get a total dollar value in each of the four categories as well as the value of TOTAL ASSETS and TOTAL LIABILITIES.</p><p> e. Be sure to include the date of the balance sheet.</p><p> f. The ending balance sheet for one year is the beginning balance sheet for the next year.</p><p>Unit 1, Lesson 4: Completing and Analyzing the Balance Sheet 2 Objective 2: The student will calculate and analyze net worth statements</p><p>1. After completing the balance sheet, Net Worth (also called Owner’s Equity) can be calculated.</p><p>Net Worth = Total Assets – Total Liabilities </p><p>2. If Net Worth is positive, then total assets exceed total liabilities.</p><p>3. If Net Worth is negative, then debt is greater than the assets</p><p>4. Calculate Net Worth from the following numbers:</p><p>Current Assets = $5,432 Current Liabilities = $1,234</p><p>Non-current Assets = $246,810 Non-current Liabilities = $135,790</p><p>Solution: Total Assets = $252,242 -Total Liability = $137,024 Net Worth = $115,218</p><p>5. What are two ways to increase net worth?</p><p> a. Increase assets</p><p> b. Decrease liability</p><p>Unit 1, Lesson 4: Completing and Analyzing the Balance Sheet 3 Objective 3: The student will calculate and interpret financial ratios from a balance sheet</p><p>1. Explain liquidity and how it is measured.</p><p> a. Liquidity is the ability of a business to convert assets to cash quickly</p><p> b. It can be measured two ways:</p><p> Working Capital (current assets – current liabilities)</p><p> businesses strive for a positive working capital figure</p><p> business size has a large impact on working capital</p><p> Current Ratio (current assets / current liabilities)</p><p> a ratio of 1.5 to 1 indicates flexibility to withstand business crises</p><p> the higher the ratio, the more liquid the business</p><p>2. What is solvency and how is it measured?</p><p> a. a business is solvent if total assets exceed total liabilities, therefore, solvency is the ability to pay debts or liabilities.</p><p> b. solvency can be measured by three ratios:</p><p> Debt to Asset Ratio (total liabilities / total assets)</p><p> measures proportion of total assets owed to creditors</p><p> a ratio greater than .50:1 is risky</p><p> Equity to Asset Ratio (net worth / total assets)</p><p> also called the percent ownership ratio</p><p> the higher the ratio, the more capital supplied by owner</p><p> Debt to Equity Ratio (total liabilities / net worth)</p><p> also called the leverage ratio</p><p> less than 1:1 is preferred</p><p>3. Another measure of solvency is a Net Capital Ratio – also called Non-current Ratio</p><p> a. Non-current Ratio (non-current assets / non-current liabilities)</p><p>Review/Summary: Review this lesson in form of the Jeopardy Game Show. Name an asset or liability, students must respond in the form of a question like, “What is current asset.” Questions could also be asked about ratios, liquidity, and solvency. </p><p>Unit 1, Lesson 4: Completing and Analyzing the Balance Sheet 4 Application-- 1. Complete the Balance Sheet Assignment (attached). Extended Classroom Activity: 2. Using an Excel spreadsheet, have students create a balance sheet that will automatically calculates net worth and the various financial ratios. This will work much better if Standard 9.3, lesson 3-3, Using Spreadsheets, has been taught and mastered.</p><p>Application--FFA Have students complete a balance sheet for the FFA Chapter. Activity:</p><p>Application--SAE Instruct students to complete a balance sheet for their SAEP record book.

True or False – A Debt to Equity Ratio of less than 1:1 means total liabilities are less than net worth. (1 point)</p><p>10. What does a Debt to Asset Ratio of greater than 1:1 mean? (1 point)</p><p> a. the amount of liabilities and assets are equal</p><p> b. there are more assets than liabilities</p><p> c. the business has moderate to low financial risk</p><p> d. there are more liabilities than assets</p><p>11.
