10 owner's equity

капитал акционеров: все активы за вычетом всех пассивов, которые представляют чистые средства акционеров; = shareholders' equity.
* * *

• собственный акционерный капитал

• собственный капитал владельца фирмы

* * *

собственный капитал; собственные средства
. The amount of an owner's interest in an entity that is at-risk should the company become bankrupt. In the case of a corporation, it consists of capital stock, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings. Capital stock may be par value or no par value. If par value, the total capital stock is equal to the number of shares outstanding times the par value. Additional paid-in capital is additional amounts paid for the stock over an above the par value. Retained earnings come from the net profits of the corporation. Profits increase retained earnings, losses and distributions decrease them. Example - Madison Inc. issues 200 shares of its common stock to Fred Flood for $60 per share, for a total of $12,000. Madison's common stock has a par value of $0.50. On the balance sheet the transaction would be recorded as capital stock of $100 (200 shares times $0.50 par value), and additional paid-in capital of $11,900 (the difference between the amount received for the stock and the par value). Assume further than Susan Newly buys 200 shares the following week for $70 per share ($14,000 total). The capital stock amount is the same ($100), but now the paid-in capital amount is increased by $13,900. . Словарь экономических терминов .
