Equity is equal to total assets minus its total liabilities. These figures can all be found on a company's balance sheet for a company.
By rearranging the original accounting equation, Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders Equity, it can also be expressed as Stockholders Equity = Assets – Liabilities. Stockholders Equity provides highly useful information when analyzing financial statements.
Equity in accounting comes from subtracting liabilities from a company's assets. Those assets can include tangible assets the company owns (assets in physical form) and intangible assets (those you can't actually touch, but are valuable).
Equity shares are long-term financing sources for any company. These shares are issued to the general public and are non-redeemable in nature. Investors in such shares hold the right to vote, share profits and claim assets of a company.
Stockholders' equity can be calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of a business from total assets or as the sum of share capital and retained earnings minus treasury shares.
Total liabilities and owners' equity are totaled at the bottom of the right side of the balance sheet. Remember —the left side of your balance sheet (assets) must equal the right side (liabilities + owners' equity).
