Answer to Question 1

The court appoints a trustee to sell all the assets. The proceeds from the assets first go to pay the legal costs of the bankruptcy. They also go to any claims that the law says must be paid first and to any secured creditors, such as a bank holding a mortgage. Any money left over goes to all other creditors in proportion to their claims.

Answer to Question 2

assets, liabilities, equity
