Question: 1 / 400

Which financial statement provides a snapshot of a ranch's assets and liabilities at a specific time?

Income statement

Balance sheet

The balance sheet is the financial statement that provides a snapshot of a ranch's assets and liabilities at a specific point in time. It outlines what the ranch owns (assets) and what it owes (liabilities), allowing stakeholders to assess the financial position of the ranch at that particular moment. This statement is essential for understanding the net worth of the ranch, which is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets.

The other financial statements focus on different aspects: the income statement summarizes revenues and expenses over a period, providing insights into profitability; the cash flow statement tracks the inflow and outflow of cash, showing how cash is generated and used over time; and the financial forecast projects future revenues, expenses, and cash flows, but does not provide an immediate snapshot of current financial health.
