Balance sheet: This financial statement reports a company’s resources (assets) and claims of creditors (liabilities) and stockholders (stockholders’ equity) over those resources. The resources of the company are assets which include money contributed by stockholders and creditors. Hence, the main elements of the balance sheet are assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.

Discuss the underlying conceptual basis of accounting for compensated absences.

Explanation of Solution
Compensated absences represent an expense that has been incurred by the employer but not yet paid. Because, the company has the responsibility to the employee for the service rendered, this will be accumulated, payment is probable and this can be reasonably estimated and thus the company must accrue an expense related to compensate absences. Hence, it is a liability of the employer to recognize the expenses related to the compensated absences in the period in which the employees work and earn the benefits.
