Understand assets, liabilities, and equity
The basic accounting equation is `Assets = Liabilities + Equity`. It shows that everything a business owns is funded either by money it owes or by the owner's interest in the business.
Assets are the resources a business controls, such as cash, inventory, equipment, or receivables. Liabilities are obligations like loans, payables, or other amounts owed. Equity is the remaining value after liabilities are taken away from assets.
That is why you can also calculate equity as `Assets - Liabilities`. In the same way, you can rearrange the equation to calculate assets or calculate liabilities depending on which two values you already know.
