What is his Net wroth?
what is his liquidity ratio?
what is his savings ratio?
1. Net worth = The Sum of [Chequing account + Savings account + Furniture + Car + Disposable income + Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) stocks + Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)] - the sum of [Tution loan + Car loan + Visa payment + rent + food + Utility + monthly expense]
or, Net worth = [2000 + 5000 + 4550 + 21700 + 86800 + 49550 + 12000] - [3000 + 15300 + 1200 + 1500 + 200 + 300 + 1300] = $ 158,800
2. Liquidity ratio is the ratio of all near cash or liquit assets available to the net worth.
And, Liquidity ratio (in accounting language) is the ratio of Quick cash (Current asset - Current liability), or cash equivalent to the Current assets.
or, Liquidity ratio = The sum of (Chequing account + Savings account + Disposable income + Tax-Free Savings Account) / Net worth
= (2000 + 5000 + 86800 + 12000) / 158,800
= 105800 / 158800 = 0.66
3. Saving ratio can be represented as the ratio of total savings (as, deposits, FD, Equities, policies schemes etc) and Gross income (as salary, bonus, EPF contribution, interest, dividend, rent/royalty and any other form of income)
or, Saving ratio = (Tax-Free Savings Account + Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) stocks) / (Disposable income)
= (12000 + 49550) / 86800
= 0.709 ~ 0.71
