what is equity

Answer Posted / vandana gupta

The term's meaning depends very much on the context. In
finance, in general, you can think of equity as ownership
in any asset after all debts associated with that asset are
paid off. For example, a car or house with no outstanding
debt is considered the owner's equity because he or she can
readily sell the item for cash. Stocks are equity because
they represent ownership in a company.
