Which of the following accounts appear(s) in the Balance Sheet of a business?

i. Stock at the end of the financial year
ii. Stock at the beginning of the financial year
iii. Drawings
iv. Prepaid Rent
v. Interest received but not yet earned

A. Only (i) above
B. Only (iii) above
C. Both (i)and (iii) above
D. (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) above

Stock at the end of the financial year is the closing stock, drawings are the amounts withdrawn by the owner of the business for personal use; and prepaid rent is the amount of rent which is paid in advance of the current financial year and interest received but not yet earned is the amount of interest received which does not pertain to the current year are the items that appear in the Balance Sheet of a business. Stock at the beginning of the financial year is the opening stock that appears in Trading Account of a business and not in the Balance Sheet. Thus D., the combination of all the accounts in alternatives (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) is the correct answer.]
