FAabout net asset
I think they are the same or at least, related. Let me try and explain :)
These two equation are based on the Basic Accounting Equation:
Asset = Capital + Liabilities
It can be re-arranged as Capital = Asset - Liabilities
We also know that: Net Assets = Assets - Liablities
Hence we can say: Capital = Net Assets
Hope that helps :)

You should watch the free lecture that goes with Chapter 2 of the free Course Notes, where all of this is explained in detail.
thank you so much!
