Assets Assets are anything of value that is owned.
Have value because they can be used either to acquire other assets or to operate a business. Ex. Cash, accounts receivable, equipment, land, buildings, cars, inventory, supplies.
15
Liabilities Liabilities are an amount owed by a business.
Liabilities are claims by people external to the business. Ex. Notes payable, accounts payable, & wages payable.
16
Owners' Equity Owner’s Equity is the amount remaining after the value of all liabilities is subtracted from the value of all assets. Equities are financial rights to the assets of a business.
17
Owners’ Equity = Assets – Liabilities
Yet another name for owners' equity is net assets. Indicates that owners' equity results when liabilities are subtracted from assets. Owners’ Equity = Assets – Liabilities
18
The Basic Accounting Equation
Both liabilities and owners' equity represent claims on the assets of a business.

Making Ethical Decisions
Ethics are the principles of right and wrong that guide an individual in making decisions. Business ethics are the use of ethics in making business decisions. Entering the 21st century, Enron, Worldcom, and Andersen were three of the biggest names in corporate America. The actions of these companies are the reason we have strict ethics rules today.
