Neither the debt nor the claim are described in detail in anime because it is confusing.
In the light novel, the amount of money of the debt and the claim is described as follows.
Incidentally, 1 Lumione is the amount of money which does not have trouble in living for three months. (Is it equivalent to about 4000 dollars?)

Lawrence's property (Unit:Lumione)

1. 50(spice)
2. Armors (worthless) - [47 and 3/4 (debt)]
3. Before smuggling the gold: 500 Lumione IOU
4. After smuggling the gold: 130 (cash) - Expenses = 50 (cash)

The items of expenses
Lawrence -> Jacob : 20 (The apology to the Lowen Trading Guild)
-> sheep butchery : 10 (Hush money)
-> creditors : 30 (The apology included)
-> Nora : 20

The incomes which Lawrence got for this smuggling are 130 Lumione, and it is all.
Since there was a risk of Remerio company going bankrupt again within ten years, Lawrence sold a 500 Lumione IOU to Lowen Trading Guild at the cheap price.
After all, Lawrence's property was recovered to the same amount of money as he got in Pattsio.


Remerio company's property (Unit:Lumione)

It is unknown how much the debt of Remerio company was.

1. Hidden property - [The debt by arms dealings.(about 900?)]
2. 1000 (gold -> cash) + Hidden property - [100 (purchase fund for gold)] - [The debt by arms dealings.(about 900?)] - 500 (The debt for ten years) = Hidden property - 500 (The debt for ten years)

Details of a 500 Lumione IOU
1st year's payment : 10
2nd year's payment : 20
3rd year's payment : 30
....
10th year's payment : 100
Total 550 Lumione

The debt by arms dealings might be less to rebuild the Remerio company.
