Equity

Equity - Shareholders' equity is equal to a firm's total assets minus its total
liabilities and is one of the most common financial metrics employed by
analysts to determine the financial health of a company. Shareholders' equity
represents the net value of a company, or the amount that would be returned to
shareholders if all the company's assets were liquidated and all its debts
repaid.
Shareholders Equity = Total Assets – Total Liabilities

company ABC's balance sheet shows $1,600,000 in retained earnings held in cash,
$4,00,000 in stocks, and $4.4 million in equipment and other fixed assets. It
also shows the following debts or expenses to be paid: $6,000,000 in total
liabilities (all in corporate bonds). According to the balance sheet, ABC has
$10 million in total assets and $6 million in total liabilities. After
subtracting the liabilities from the assets, ABC's shareholders' equity is $4
million.
