Here are 10 examples of equity accounts with explanations:
1. Common stock

For the investment, accountholder can calculate the value of common stock by multiplying the share value by the number of outstanding shares. For example, one million shares valued at $1 each would have a balance sheet entry of $1 million on the accountholders book held with Treasury Bank.
