I can do is... So he needs 100 gold pieces.

So its assets.

And so liabilities plus equity is equal to assets.

That assets, A for assets, is equal to

Malibu Equity and Investments.

Banks are cutting lending to industrial borrowers.

So if I just had a personal balance sheet,

I don't want to draw this box.

And rich, eh?

I'll do that in yellow.

I know this gets a little confusing, but it all ends up being valuing the assets as you emerge from bankruptcy.

It should start to make a little bit of intuitive sense

Malibu Equity and Investments. Roger Van Zant.

So what they do is, instead of just expensing the cost of the machine, when the machine is bought on the balance sheet at the beginning of 2007, they say, we now have an asset called a machine.

Obviously , a machine you can't do all of those things to it, but you can at least touch it and possibly smell and taste it.

liabilities plus equity.

And what I wrote here is, it has 4 billion of liabilities.

He is a man of wealth.

He's a wealthy man.

Or across the street from each other.

So the total assets were 5 billion in assets.

You'd have to give up 93 of your net worth.

In a world without leverage so if I didn't have all this

So this is just another visual representation that

It doesn't sound like we borrowed money or anything.

Remember liabilities plus equities are equal to assets.

And then these are loans that I lent at least, this and this these are loans that I lent out to somebody.

Each share in this case once again, if you believe that the assets are worth 1 million are going to be 1 million.

But let's say its assets are worth 1 million.

So these are the assets of a company and it was able to generate these assets.

All of the assets needed to start the firm, the pizzeria.

Or they just have a super flush bank account.

Remember, every time it'd issue a loan, like for right here, it issued a 100 gold piece equivalent loan to D and instead of giving D 100 gold pieces from, say, right here, it just created a checking account for D, which later D paid to A and that's why it's labeled A right here. Let me relabel another thing because the gold is a different color just so you see the gold.

But let's just kind of think about a generic balance sheet for a bank.

So 225,000

I guess you could say non cash assets, right?

Are you a man of means?

These are my assets, and these are my liabilities.

And if you look at the species level, you saw about fish.

So what we do is we lend him 300 gold pieces.

So I'm going to give you a little equation, actually, just to take a little bit of a tangent.

So that's the situation we're dealing with.

I won't use the square tool.

We had a 10 return on assets.

And why don't you like them as much?
