  • Authorized share capital is the maximum amount of share capital a company is legally permitted to issue.
  • Owner's equity represents the owners' stake in the company, including share capital, retained earnings, etc.
  • Working capital is a measure of a company's short-term financial health, calculated as current assets minus current liabilities.
