Borrowed Capital:
The money which is borrowed by a company from outsiders for a specified period of time with a promise to repay the amount with interest over it is known as borrowed capital.
For example, long term debts, bonds payable, debentures, etc.
Owned Capital:
The money from the equity stockholders and reserves of the company is termed as owned capital. Owned capital is repaid only in case winding up of the company.
