Question

Gale owns a car that is worth $9,500 but she still owes $7,400 on the car loan. She has a student loan in the amount of $6,000 and she has a savings account with a balance of $1500. The balance on her credit card is $3200. What is her net worth?

Answer 1

Answer:

$8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Car worth = $9,500, car loan = $7,400. Student loan = $6,000, savings account = $1500. The balance on her credit card is $3200.

Formula: Total Assets - Total Liabilities - Intangible Assets = Tangible Net Worth.

To find: Gale's net worth

Solution: You can calculate your net worth by subtracting your liabilities (debts) from your assets.

Firstly, calculate the total amount of assets by adding them together;

Total assets = Car worth + car loan + Student loan + savings account + balance on her credit card =

$9,500 + $7,400 + $6,000 + $3200 =$26,100

Secondly, calculate the Liabilties by adding them together;

Car loan + Student loan =

$7,400 + $6,000 = $13,400

Then, calculate the Intangible Assets by adding them together;

Savings account +  The balance on her credit card =

$1500 + $3200 = $4700

Finally substact the total amounts;

$26,100 - $13,400 - $4700 = $8000

(Note:- If your assets exceed your liabilities, you will have a positive net worth. Conversely, if your liabilities are greater than your assets, you will have a negative net worth.)
