The basic accounting equation is "Assets = liabilities + owners' equity." Assets are what the company owns.
liabilities are what the company owes to other parties.
Owners' equity is the owners' share in the company.

The expanded accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + (Owner's Capital + Revenues - Expenses - Owner's Draws) for a sole proprietorship or Assets = Liabilities + (Paid-in Capital + Revenues - Expenses - Dividends - Treasury Stock) for a corporation. The equation expands the owner's or stockholders' equity component of the basic accounting formula, which is Assets = Liabilities + Owner's or Stockholders' Equity.
