Equity value vs Stockholders Equity Is equity value is the same as stockholders equity? I have been given liabilities and stockholders equity total also and I need to calculate the leverage ratio, but I not sure what numbers should I use and whether I need to calculate the equity value using asset value and etc. or I could just plug in the number.
&quot;Stockholder's equity&quot; is how we label Equity in corporations, so it should be identical to the general concept of &quot;Equity&quot;, except if, by a confusing misuse of words, by &quot;Stockholder's equity&quot; the authors meant &quot;Shareholder Capital&quot;, which sometimes it is used to mean only a part of Equity (the nominal (par) value of shares issued), the other main parts of Equity being &quot;Paid up capital&quot; (amounts paid &quot;above par&quot;), various &quot;Reserves&quot;, Retained Earnings.
