Financial statement
A financial statement is the complete record of financial transactions that take place in a company at a particular point of time. It provides important financial information like assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the company to its internal and external users. It helps them to know the exact financial position of the company. There are four basic financial statements; they are:
- Balance Sheet
- Income statement
- Statement of owners’ equity
- Statement of
cash flows
Financial leverage
Financial leverage refers to balancing the debt with equity component of the total capital structure of the company. The efficient management of the company would like to create favorable financial leverage by earning a surplus return on its borrowed funds over the cost of the borrowing.
