I agree with option A, as it gives a clear picture of where the company's money is coming from and how it is being utilized.

D is tempting, but I don't think it's the primary purpose of the balance sheet. That's more the job of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question was just trying to trip us up. The balance sheet is clearly about the assets and liabilities, not the operating activities.

I'm torn between A and B, but I think A is the best answer. It's all about the sources and uses of funds. The cash flow statement deals with the changes in cash.

Option A is the way to go. The balance sheet tells you where the company's money comes from and how it's being used. Gotta keep track of those funds, you know.

The balance sheet is like a snapshot of a company's financial health. It shows what the company owns (assets) and what it owes (liabilities) at a specific point in time. Pretty straightforward if you ask me.
