The equity as Paul pointed out is your interest. I just want to clarify further as I use the term.
If I buy the 25k note with 20k cash, then my equity is actually 25k. If I have borrowed the 20k from an institution or private investor, then my equity is the difference between the asset (25k) and the liability (20k) for an equity of 5k.
