Hi Vic and Bill,
Thanks for pointing out my error (in stating that capital is
conventionally an asset).
I realize that capital will be seen as a liability if
investors/shareholders are regarded
as separate entities from "the business". But I also think it is
legitimate to regard
investors/shareholders as an essential part of the corporate structure, and
from this
point of view capital may be interpreted an asset.
However I am more interested in your views about the conclusions that may be
drawn from using the accountancy equation to analyze banking operations.
