Asset, Liability, Equity • Asset – something that has value (typically can be sold for $). Why does it have value? It produces a benefit such as a cash flow. (Could be money in the bank, a house, car, college education) • Liability – Something you have to pay for someone to take from you, like a loan (i.e. debt). It has negative value (to you). • Equity – represents your ownership in something
Balance Sheet Identity • Assets = Liabilities + Equity • This statement indicates that assets are financed either through borrowed money, or through ownership. • Say your car is worth $10,000 and you have a 7,000 balance on your loan. You have $3000 of equity, or ownership in that car. • Personal Finance Goal: • Increase your equity
