Here is help with Financial Statements

Note, many account names in financial statements vary by company (Income Statement = Profit and Loss Statement = Statement of Income = Statement of Operations), thus part of learning this chapter is learning potential accout names.  When solving problems for this chapter, use the internet to look up terms with which you are unfamiliar.  This is especially applicable when solving the scrambled income statement/balance sheet problems.  There is a Balance Sheet Video located at; http://www.westga.edu/~chodges/video/efs3rd3_1/intro.htm, an income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows Video located at; http://www.westga.edu/~chodges/video/efs3rd3_2/intro.htm, and a Using Financial Statements for Finance Video located at; http://www.westga.edu/~chodges/video/efs3rd3_3/intro.htm.

Since the main focus is the on the format of statements, the most complex quiz problems require you to unscrambled and solve for missing numbers in the income statement and balance sheet. To solve these big problems, you must be able to solve smaller segments of the statements.  Here are audio solutions that focus on the smaller components:
