3. You happen to have $2,000 in a bank account, $12,800 in a 401(k) plan at work, a fully owned car with a current value of $8,000, and a house that you purchased for $250,000 that has a current market value of $378,000. The current balance of your home mortgage is $121,000, you have one credit card with a $5,000 balance, and a school loan with a balance of $67,000. What is your current net worth?
Net worth is the amount by which assets exceeds liabilities
In the question, we have given assets and liabilities, first we need to differentiate which one are assets and which are liabilities
Now, we are finding assets
Assets:
Liabilities:
Now we will add all the assets -
Bank account = $2,000
401(k) Balance = $12,800
Car value = $8,000
Current value of house = $378,000
Total assets = Bank account + 401(k) balance + car + home value = 2000 + 12800 + 8000 + 378000 = $400,800
Now, we will add liabilities -
Home mortgage= $121,000
Credit card balance = $5,000
School Loan Balance = $67,000
Total Liabilities = home mortgage + credit card balance + school loan balance = 121000+5000+67000 = $193,000
Net Worth = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = 400,800 - 193,000 = $207,800
So, net worth is $207,800
