1 answer

To calculate the net worth, you need to subtract the total liabilities from the total assets.

Total Assets:

  • Car: $36,000
  • Computer: $1,115
  • Savings account: $27,844
  • Retirement savings: $90,291

Total Assets Calculation: \[ \text{Total Assets} = 36,000 + 1,115 + 27,844 + 90,291 = 155,250 \]

Total Liabilities:

  • Mortgage: $114,500
  • Credit card balance: $3,062

Total Liabilities Calculation: \[ \text{Total Liabilities} = 114,500 + 3,062 = 117,562 \]

Net Worth Calculation: \[ \text{Net Worth} = \text{Total Assets} - \text{Total Liabilities} \] \[ \text{Net Worth} = 155,250 - 117,562 = 37,688 \]

So the net worth is $37,688.
