2. Minority Interest: Input the value of the minority interest in the company. This refers to the portion of subsidiary companies owned by minority shareholders.

3. Preferred Shares: Enter the total value of all preferred shares issued by the company. These shares have preference over common shares in terms of dividend payments and liquidation.

4. Value of Debt: Input the company's total debt, which includes short-term and long-term debt.

5. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Enter the total amount of cash and assets that can be immediately converted into cash.
