Detailed explanation-1: -Liabilities are the legal debts a company owes to third-party creditors. They can include accounts payable, notes payable and bank debt. All businesses must take on liabilities in order to operate and grow. A proper balance of liabilities and equity provides a stable foundation for a company.
Detailed explanation-2: -Liabilities are any debts your company has, whether it’s bank loans, mortgages, unpaid bills, IOUs, or any other sum of money that you owe someone else. If you’ve promised to pay someone a sum of money in the future and haven’t paid them yet, that’s a liability.
Detailed explanation-3: -A liability is something a person or company owes, usually a sum of money. Liabilities are settled over time through the transfer of economic benefits including money, goods, or services.
Detailed explanation-4: -The balance sheet is one of the three core financial statements that are used to evaluate a business. It provides a snapshot of a company’s finances (what it owns and owes) as of the date of publication. The balance sheet adheres to an equation that equates assets with the sum of liabilities and shareholder equity.
Detailed explanation-5: -In its simplest form, your balance sheet can be divided into two categories: assets and liabilities. Assets are the items your company owns that can provide future economic benefit. Liabilities are what you owe other parties. In short, assets put money in your pocket, and liabilities take money out!
