• Net Worth is the amount by which assets exceed liabilities. Net worth is a concept
applicable to individuals and businesses as a key measure of how much an entity is
worth. A consistent increase in net worth indicates good financial health; conversely,
net worth may be depleted by annual operating losses or a substantial decrease in
asset values relative to liabilities. In the business context, net worth is also known
as book value or shareholders' equity.

• Capital employed represents the capital investment necessary for a business to
function. Consequently, it is not a measure of assets, but of capital investment: stock
or shares and long-term liabilities. CE can be defined as the following:
o The total amount of capital used for the acquisition of profits.
o The value of all the assets employed in a business.
o Fixed assets plus working capital.
o Total assets less current liabilities.
• Bonus Shares are issued by capitalization of General reserves (when a company
issues bonus shares, it uses reserves to increase its equity capital. There is transfer of
funds from reserves account to capital account. Thus, there is no net reduction or
increase in net worth) and as such do not affect the Net Worth.
• In Rights Issue, existing shareholders are given an option to purchase new issue in
proportion of their present holding. Under rights issue, there is a change in Net

• Net income, also called net profit, is a calculation that measures the amount of total
revenues that exceed total expenses. It other words, it shows how much revenues
are left over after all expenses have been paid. This is the amount of money that the
company can save for a rainy day, use to pay off debt, invest in new projects, or
distribute to shareholders. Investors, creditors, and company management tend to
focus on the net income calculation because it is a good indicator of the company’s

financial position and ability to manage assets efficiently. Investors want to know
that their investment will continue to appreciate and that the company will have
enough cash to pay them a dividend. Creditors want to know the company if
financially sound and able to pay off its debt with successful operations. Company
management is typically concerned with both investor and credit concerns along
with the company’s ability to pay salaries and bonuses.
• EBITDA, which stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization, is a financial calculation that measures a company’s profitability
before deductions that are often considered irrelevant in the decision making
process. In other words, it’s the net income of a company with certain expenses like
amortization, depreciation, taxes, and interest added back into the total. Investors
and creditors often use EBITDA as a coverage ratio to compare big companies that
either have significant amounts of debt or large investments in fixed assets because
this measurement excludes the accounting effects of non-operating expenses like
interest and paper expenses like depreciation. Adding these expenses back into net
income allows us to analyze and compare the true operating cash flows of the
businesses.
