2. Liabilities: The liabilities are the obligations that the company or an individual have to pay

3. Equity: The equity is the amount invested in the business, it also records the withdrawals, income and expenses etc

Total assets = Total liabilities + total equity

The sum of total liabilities and total equity is known as total assets
