will produce cash flows to the company.

and short-term assets (Follow into cash flow in 12 months).
o Account Receivable: sell something on credit, sold for but not yet
paid for, right to get paid.

§ Summing up the stakeholders we sum up the financial resources part
• What are the 2 main financial resources of a company?
o Equity (investors), liabilities (creditors, either the bank or
suppliers (accounts payable)

equity during a period.
