1.4.1.2. The Balance SheetThe balance sheet is a document that summarizes a company’s assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity. On the balance sheet, assets are what the company owns, liabilities are what the company owes, and shareholders’ equity is what’s left over, the company’s net worth. The balance sheet is different from the income statement in that it shows financial information at a particular point in time rather than over a period of time.
The balance sheet is represented by the following equation:
assets = liabilities + shareholders’ equity
This equation demonstrates that at all times a company’s assets must be equivalent in value to the combined value of the company’s liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

I passed the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. Your practice exams really helped. Thanks again.

I finally passed the Series 65! I’m writing today to send you a very sincere Thank you for all the professional support and emotional guidance you have provided. I was emotionally beat up and almost ready to give in on my endeavor of passing the Series 65 and becoming an Investment Advisor Firm.
After becoming unemployed and having a tremendous time focusing on the study material, you provided additional months and material access for no additional Fee! You also mentioned I should be able to teach the material and then I’ll be ready for the exam. By the gracious caring and professional sharing of your wisdom, it provided me to find my path to passing the Series 65!
The three items that really helped was to Study like I’m going to teach it, memorizing and learn by over studying, and getting plenty of sleep and rest.
Thank you to you, your family, and pro team for all you have done. I am very blessed and humbled to have met you all in this challenging time of my life. Happy Holidays, and Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

I passed my series 65 exam on the first attempt! The books and sample questions are always very helpful. I leveraged this course with another program that was offered to me. I did mainly use this one and found the material very helpful. Overall, I would say the test questions that were in the book and online were much more difficult than the exam itself. I do like the crash course piece, but would also love the option of a instructional video which is what the other course offered. I learn not just by readying, but visually as well. The combination of the two were very helpful, but overall I felt the material, especially the sample test questions, were more comprehensive. Thank you for the material.

I could not be
happier with Solomon Exam Prep and I am so glad I found it. I had
taken this test prior and wasn't able to pass. After utilizing
the Total Study Package for the Series 65, including the book, audiobook, summary videos and practice tests, I felt very confident clicking the
submit button at the end of the test. I would highly recommend Solomon
Exam Prep to pass your upcoming test.
