ASSET: Something that you own. For a person, assets can be financial, like money, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, and government securities, or they can be physical things, like cars, boats, houses, clothes, food, and land. The important assets for our economy are the output we have produced and the resources, capital, and natural resources used to produce that output.

A balance sheet is the record of a bank's assets and liabilities. Two parts: - Assets
- Liabilities and Net Worth
As a balance sheet, both parts are equal, they balance. Concepts: - Assets: What the bank owns.
- Liabilities: What the bank owes.
- Net worth: The difference between assets and liabilities.
The sum of liabilities and net worth must equals assets. - Banks don't make adjustments with real production.
- These financial entries in the balance sheet are the bank's production.
