Does a transaction always change both sides of a balance sheet How do yo know?
Any transaction that gets reflected on the Balance Sheet will impact both sides of a balance sheet. Balance sheet represents what the company (an entity) owns and owes (to shareholders and debtors). If a transaction results in increase in assets (what it owns), the funding for it will come from investor and equal amount reflect on fund raised. You should not get confused with situation where both the impacts are on the same side which does not results in change of 'size' of balance sheet. For example you sell an asset for and receive cash. Then asset will go down and cash asset will increase. Both the changes are on the asset side. Another example on liabilities side would be raising equity to payback debt. Thus moral of the story is that size of the balance sheet is same on both the sides. So a transaction either changes two sub-accounts on assets side/ liabilities side resulting in no change in the balance sheet size or it will affect both the sides equally resulting in balance sheet remaining 'balanced'

Where do unearned fees show on the balance sheet?
Unearned fees show up under liabilities. Liabilities are obligations (to pay cash, render services, or deliver goods) to other parties. When customer pay in advance, the firm has an obligation to the customer. When the firm does deliver the products/render the services, the liability unearned revenues is reduced and sales are recognized. This is an application of accrual accounting, since the time of the cash inflow is not the same as the time of the sale.
Consolidated balance sheet proforma?

Why balance sheet both side are always equal?
The balance sheet, in its earliest form, was simply a listing of open balances in the various ledger accounts as at balance date. The total credit balances (Liabilities) were subtracted from the total debit balances (Assets) to give the net amount due to the owners (Equity). If the equity was greater at this balance date than it was at the previous one, then the business owner was trading successfully. If the equity was less, then trading was not successful. These days the process is essentially the same. Assets minus Liabilities equals Equity. However, the notion of an 'equation' E=A-L was introduced to emphasise the double-entry basis for accounting. The equation describes the equality of resources or assets with the obligations to the sources from which they have been received. This can be better depicted as: Source of Funds (Equity) equals Disposition of Funds (Net Assets)
What is amalgamation of Balance sheet?

Is short-term debt the same as current liabilities?
Essentially, yes.Many times a company has Long-term debt, with a certain amount to be repaid within the year. On the company's balance sheet they will have the remaining amount of their Long-term debtincluded in Non-Current Liabilities, while in Current liabilities they will have the Current portion of long-term debt.Basically, the balance sheet has a section for Current liabilities, which would include accounts with debts to be repaid in the short-term (generally within the year). Normally it is not listed as Short-term debt, but rather an account like Accounts payable or Bank loan, or as I stated earlier, Current portion of long-term debt.
