Accounting For Stockholders' Equity. A corporation's balance sheet reports its assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. Stockholders' equity is the difference (or residual) of assets minus liabilities. Because of the cost principle (and other accounting principles), assets are generally reported on the balance sheet at cost (or lower) amounts.
The stock (also capital stock) of a corporation constitutes the equity stake of its owners. It represents the residual assets of the company that would be due to stockholders after discharge of all senior claims such as secured and unsecured debt.
