balance sheet equation =

equity/capital = assets - liability

Net worth = reserves and surplus or assets - liabilities.

capital - assets = ? 50capital-100 assets = 50 liabilities? But assets are supposed to be shown on asset side.

Assets and liabilities need to be showed on the respective side of balance sheet and not on net basis.
if building is reduced from capital then it must be check if it's used for residential purpose.
