Can we finalize Balance Sheet Without prepare Profit & Loss
Account.

Answer Posted / sajid

P&L account shows the real financial result of an
organisation. One of the components in the BS is to
disclose the profit or loss. This is shown either under the
Reserves and Surplus heading(incase of a profit) or the
Miscellaneous expenditure heading(incase of loss). There is
no way, one can prepare a tallied BS without considering
the P&L results.
Further,from a loical stand point, we must realise that the
impact of P/L should either be on cash,bank or the debtors
or creditors. There has to be an impact. One side of which
is effected in the balance sheet. What about the other.

However, if somebody argues that an IE account or a Rcts&
Pmts account does make up for the P&L; I would not say that
is wrong. That certainly is in the same nature of P&L.

My conclusion is that, we need to have P&L account or its
like (IE account, RP account) to be necessarily prepared to
show a complete financial picture of the organisation.

Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is better than issuing stock when the firms shares are undervalued. Suppose that the financial manager of Decent Furniture Company does in fact have inside information indicating that the decent stock price is too low. Decent furniture earnings will in fact be higher than investor’s expectations. Suppose further that the inside information cannot be released without giving away a valuable competitive secret. Clearly, selling shares at the present low price would harm Decent’s existing shareholders. Will they also lose if convertible bonds are issued? If they do lose in this case, is the loss more or less than it would be if common stock is issued? Now suppose that investors forecast earnings accurately, but still under value the stock because they overestimate Decent’s actual business risk. Does this change your answer to the questions posed in the preceding paragraph? Explain.
