Understand that a classified balance sheet organizes financial information into major categories to provide clarity about a company's financial position.
Identify the primary sections that represent what the company owns and owes, as well as the owners' claims on the company.
Recall that the balance sheet is structured around three main categories: Assets, Liabilities, and Stockholders' (Shareholders') Equity.
Recognize that other options like Operating Activities, Investing Activities, and Financing Activities relate to the statement of cash flows, not the balance sheet.
Conclude that the correct major sections making up a classified balance sheet are Assets; Liabilities; and Stockholders' (Shareholders') Equity.
