Classification of Items in the Balance Sheet

All Assets go on the left side, while all liability and equity-related items go on the right side.

Assets (Left Side of the Balance Sheet)

Current Assets

  • Petty Cash
  • Work in Process
  • Debt Investments

Non-Current Assets

  • Construction in Process

Liabilities (Right side of the Balance Sheet)

  • Unearned Subscriptions Revenue
  • Dividends Payable
  • Interests Payable
  • Deficits
  • Income Taxes Payable
  • Salaries and Wages Payable

Equity/Equity Related Items (Right side of the balance sheet under Liabilities)

  • Common Stock

Contra Assets Items

These items are neither assets or liability. They are:

  • Accumulated Depreciation of Equipment. This is deducted from the value of assets.
  • Treasury Stock. This is subtracted from shareholder's equity.

Borderline Item

Equity Investments (Onwerhsip stake of less than 20%).

This is a borderline item because where it is placed in the asset section is determined by how long Deep Blue Somthing Inc. intends to hold it. If the company intends to hold it for less than or equal to a year, it is classified as a current asset. If more than a year, it is classed as a Non-current Asset.
