From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In accounting and finance, equity is the residual claim or interest of the most junior class of investors in an assets, after all liabilities are paid. If valuations placed on assets do not exceed liabilities, negative equity exists. In an accounting context, Shareholders' equity (or stockholders' equity, shareholders' funds, shareholders' capital or similar terms) represents the remaining interest in assets of a company, spread among individual shareholders of common or preferred stock. At the start of a business, owners put some funding into the business to finance assets. This creates liability on the business in the shape of capital as business is a separate entity from its owners. Businesses can be considered to be, for accounting purposes, sums of liabilities and assets; this is the accounting equation. After liabilities have been accounted for, the positive remainder is deemed the owner's interest in the business. This definition is helpful to understand the liquidation process in case of bankruptcy.At first, all the secured creditors are paid against proceeds from assets. Afterwards, a series of creditors, ranked in priority sequence, have the next claim/right on the residual proceeds. Ownership equity is the last or residual claim against assets, paid only after all other creditors are paid. In such cases where even creditors could not get enough money to pay their bills, and nothing is left over to reimburse owners' equity. Thus owners' equity is reduced to zero. Ownership equity is also known as risk capital, liable capital and equity. From Wikipedia under the

Identify foreign equity ownership restrictions and explain why countries impose these restrictions? Asked by Albert - Mon Jun 26 18:38:42 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Foreign equity ownership restrictions are restrictions on the amount of ownership, which is called equity in companies, which non-citizens of a country are allowed to own or control. These restrictions are put into place in order to both encourage local ownership and control of certain businesses and industries and at the same time to prevent that control slipping into the hands of foreigners. Sometimes the reasons are entirely political. For example recently a Dubai company wanted to buy the major company that operates shipping ports. And, while there is no restriction on that in the United States. The politicians got very fearful that control of the ports by a foreign firm would make it easier for terrorists to get in. So they made… [cont.] Answered by ed m - Mon Jun 26 18:51:05 2006 Question on home ownership and home equity loans...? Q. I recently bought my Grandmother's house off of her and it is owned by me free and clear (no mortgage). I wanted to borrow against this, however my credit rating is not very good. Can anyone tell me what I can do to borrow against the equity of the house? Thanks in advance. Asked by kenny_scarface - Sun Aug 13 21:50:27 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Curious as to why you want to jeopardize losing the house when you own it free & Clear? You have power in not being a slave to the lender and not having debt. You should be able to borrow up to 80% on a first mortgage at any bank since you own it free & Clear. Stay away from loan sharks or B-C credit sources. Conversely you could work and save yor money to get what you want. As you pay the utility billes, cell phone, telephone etc you are also rebuilding your credit. For any outstanding unpaid debt you should arrange to make payments and pay then them off accordingly. Since you have a credit poor history let that be a warning to you that you can not handle debt properly, steer clear of it. You should also take courses in finance and how… [cont.] Answered by hithere2ya - Sun Aug 13 22:15:52 2006 Can someone help me figure out the answer to this question about equity :?
