Balance Sheet – Ford Motor Company

A balance sheet is a financial statement that shows the assets, liabilities, and Equity of a

corporation at a certain point in time. It shows the assets (what the company owns), liabilities

(what it owes), and equity of the company (what claims investors have on the assets). The assets

are listed on the debit side of the balance sheet, while liabilities and Equity are listed on the

credit side, and the two sides must be equal or balanced. This article will look at the function of a

balance sheet and analyze the Ford Motor Company's balance sheet from its 2012 Annual

Report. Financial ratios will be calculated and benchmarked against industry norms.

The Purpose of a Balance Sheet

According to Mikhalyonok (2019), "The company's balance sheet is one of the most

important kinds of reporting since it includes all commercial organizations, including legal

companies. This type of reporting reflects the structure and content of the organization's property,

as well as the sources of such property, as of the reporting date" (para.1). The balance sheet

allows a wide range of accounting users to assess and analyze the company's financial and

property position. Since balance sheet data are the most important analytical tool, one of the

essential functions of the balance sheet is its informativeness.

"The purpose of the balance sheet is basically to reveal the financial status of an

organization, but users may focus on different information within the statement, depending on

their own needs" (Bragg, 2021, para.6). Investors examine a company's balance sheets to

estimate its worth. Assets, inventory, accounts receivable, current liabilities, and equity help

provide a picture of a year's growth or losses. This data can also be used to compare past years
