Why capital amount put in liabilities but not in assets?

Capital is recorded in liabilities because it represents the owner's claim on the business's assets after all obligations have been met. This equity capital is a source of financing for the company, reflecting the residual interest of the owners. In contrast, assets represent the resources owned by the business, while liabilities indicate the debts owed to external parties. Therefore, capital is classified under liabilities to show its role in financing the company's operations rather than being an owned resource.
