How is the stockholders' equity section of a corporate balance sheet different from that in a single-owner business?

Stockholders' equity is to a corporation what owner's equity is to a sole proprietorship. Owners of a corporation are called stockholders (or shareholders), because they own (or hold) shares of the company's stock. Stock certificates are paper evidence of ownership in a corporation. For sole proprietorship stocks usually are not issued. Examples of stockholders' equity accounts include: - Common Stock - Preferred Stock - Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value - Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock - Retained Earnings - Etc.
