Today, we're discussing business finance. What do you think are the main categories of business finance based on ownership?
I think it might be owned capital and borrowed capital!
That's correct! Owned capital is when the funds come from owners, while borrowed capital is sourced externally. Does anyone know examples of each?
Owned capital could be savings put into the business, like retained earnings. Borrowed capital might include loans from banks.
Excellent points! Remember, we can use the mnemonic O-B-E for these categories: Owned = Owners, Borrowed = Bank, External.
Got it! O-B-E helps remember the categories of business finance!
Great! Let's summarize. Owned capital comes from owners, such as equity and retained earnings, while borrowed capital includes loans and debentures.
Let's explore owned capital more deeply. What types do you think businesses use?
There’s equity capital from shares, right?
Yes, correct! Equity capital is one. And what about other forms?
Retained earnings also count as owned capital since they come from profits.
Exactly! So to remember these, think of E for Equity and R for Retained Earnings. E-R is our mnemonic!
That’s helpful! So E-R helps recall owned capital types!
Right! In summary, owned capital includes funds from owners, equity capital, and retained earnings.
Moving on to borrowed capital, can anyone list the types?
Like loans and debentures?
Yes! Loans are one way, and debentures are another. What do we need to remember about these?
They have to be paid back, right? Plus interest!
Correct! Remember the phrase 'B-P' for Borrowed, Payback. Borrowed funds are not free; they come with repayment obligations.
B-P is a good mnemonic to keep in mind!
Excellent! To summarize, borrowed capital includes loans and debentures, which must be repaid with interest.
Money from owners' hands, owned capital stands.
Imagine a new bakery where Jenna uses her saved money to buy ovens (owned capital), but later takes a bank loan to expand (borrowed capital).
O-B-E for Owned, Borrowed, Expanding capital.
O-B for Owned-Borrowed funds.
