The assets are listed in order of liquidity, most liquid current assets appear first, Current asset appear first such as the cash, bank balances and short term investments, receivables, inventories. Current assets are expected to be converted to cash or use within an operating period. Inventories and accounts receivables appear at the bottom of current assets as noted in the Apple Inc financial statement. Long term assets are then presented categorized as Property which includes plant property and equipment this are physical used in the course of operations. An intangible asset is intellectual property, the company then I identify other current assets which might include a prepaid expense.
The classifications of assets are defined in terms of property and possessions of the business they include: Fixed assets not acquired for sale but for business purposes they include, property, plant and machinery. They can also be classified as wasting Assets as they are prone to wear and tear. : Circulating Assets are assets that are held for sale such as bills receivable although not defined in the report stated above: Intangible assets have no physical existence and do not represent anything valuable: Contingent assets like uncalled capital in which they happen after an event and then Outstanding Assets which are expenses paid in advance but are not received by the limited company in a fiscal year (Eisen, 2007).
Cash and cash equivalent is an asset that are highly liquid can only be converted into cash example saving accounts, bonds, money market, and treasury Bills. They appear on a financial statement of an organization and include cash in bank and cash in hand accounts. Cash is generated from the sale proceeds of products and services, borrowing from financial institutions and creditors and from capital contribution from owners or shareholders. They do not deteriorate in value until maturity.
Current liabilities are the debts that a company owes and are payable within a fiscal year. Examples of current liabilities include Loans, consumer deposits; Federal taxes, account payables, interest payable and reserves. In Apples Financial statements they are mentioned below
Total Current liabilities (For the period ending 09/28/13)

4,782+22,367+16,509= 43,658
Total Current liabilities (For the period ending 09/29/13)
=Accrued Expenses + Accounts payable/creditors + Notes Payable+ Current port. Of LT Debt + leases +Other Current Liabilities
(All numbers in millions of US Dollars$ (‘000,000,000))
3,283+21,175+14,084= 38,542
Current liabilities are essential to enable an investor, creditors and employees know how much a company owes in the short term. It assists investors to make decisions on lending company money or other resources. The current ratio or quick ratio usually determine whether a company can pay off its current liabilities. Financial ratios are used to understand how the company is fairing in terms of debt. Current ratio shows amount of assets to liabilities and point to the ability to pay.
Most investors would invest in a company that has less debt within a financial year or progressed in paying off debt in a financial period. Investors would compare amount of short term debt to cash position within current asset to compare financial standing of the company. Paying debts requires one to change some assets to cash, this will help you compare how much current asset you have and lets you know how much liquid cash you have. Looking at apples financial statement can help determine which liabilities are priorities to take care of and which assets can be converted to assist with to maintain the financial position of the company. It is advisable as above financial statement that a company with accrued expenses total liabilities would drastically increase.
A financial statement summarizes the company’s assets liabilities and shareholders’ equity at a specific point in time to analyze how a company pays for things (Weygand, Kieso, 2008). The balance sheet is efficient because it accounts for cash inventory and property on the asset side while accounts payable or long-term debt is accounted on the liability side. This allows investors to evaluate company’s performance and gives a prospect on the way forward. The balance sheet also presents the strengths of a company; investors are able to factually calculate days of working capital. Balance sheets can also identify trends of how net profit is used, receivables and the payables.

Situation 4
Sarah’s situation is very tricky because as a probation officer you should report this matter to Mr. Childers. On the other hand, since Sarah has accepted and confessed her mistakes it is tempting to feel merciful and give her another opportunity. This is because she is a good performer academically and it would be unfair to take this opportunity away from her. I would tell Mr Childers to investigate Sarah’s background but I would not tell him the reason (Elrod & Ryder, 2011). It is quite evident that some children become deliquescent because they are having problems at home. For instance, parents are fighting at home, parents are divorced, poverty, mistreatment from parents, or drug abuse by parents. This might affect a child psychologically and socially making her to engage in bad behavior. Most are the times when we accuse the child yet the problem starts at home. It is therefore important to investigate thoroughly before punishing a child. Another reason that makes children indulge in bad behavior is peer pressure. This is because they still want to maintain their friendship thus; they end up doing what they are told by their friends.
As a probation internship, I would handle Sarah’s case very discreetly before taking the matter to Mr Childers. I would take it to be my responsibility to talk to Sarah and counsel her so that she can open up and tell me her problems (Elrod & Ryder, 2011). This will enable me to choose the correct remedy for dealing with the problem. It is quite evident that his father is neglecting Sarah or they are divorced with her mother. This is why Sarah is seeking attention from old men in the bar because she misses a sense of loving from the father. It is therefore important to cancel her and talk to her by putting sense into her and telling her that is not the right way to deal with her problems.
This is the reason why I would not directly report Sarah to Mr. Childers is because she would be sent to juvenile custody immediately. Since she is a good performer academically, I find it fair to give her another chance because she accepts and confesses her mistakes. Before making this decision, I must investigate her because she might be lying.
Situation 5
Driving under the influence of alcohol is dangerous and a crime. Many youths find it fun to party and drive while drunk yet this puts their lives in danger. I would forgive the person who hit us because I can also do the same mistake (Terril, 2012). Since he did not do it intentionally, I would forgive him so that he can have peace of mind. When it comes too prosecution, there is nothing much I can do because that is a criminal offence and he must pay for his mistakes. I find it fair for the court to punish him so that he can be an example to others. This is because many youths have a habit of driving under the influence of alcohol yet they know they are putting their lives in danger. If the individuals had committed a similar crime, I would ask the court to punish him severely because he never learnt from his past mistakes. In case a person died in the accident, he should heavily compensate the family of the deceased.

The financial institutions create money through lending to people as loans
The financial institutions create money through lending to people as loans and to which the interest rates depend on the amount deposited by their customers. In the first six minutes of the video, the American nation was in crisis, and the stock market had just collapsed. The worse was going to happen to the banks, and it happened when the Bank of United States received a lot of withdrawals from the public in the fear that the bank was going bankrupt. Due to this, billions of dollars were withdrawn from the bank living the bank with no money to lend, and therefore there was no money creation, and this compelled the bank to close down as there were no deposits in the bank accounts. There is, therefore, the need to develop a federal reserve that will provide a safer, more flexible and a more stable financial system that would restore confidence to the people that their money won’t get lost.
