I will medal and fan anyone who explains & helps me - Jack owns a home valued at $122,000. He owes $67,250 on his mortgage. How much are the asset and liability values for Jack’s home?
Please help
well... not sure if the term is changed somewheres but liability is how much you're on the red, or owe and the asset, will be the net worth value in this case, the equity valuation minus the liability so 122,000 - 67,250
So 54,750?
I think it's the same, this is what I was told.. I don't understand how to do this question though. A financial assets and liabilities record is an organized list or table of a person’s assets and liabilities. An asset refers to what a person owns that has value. A liability refers to what a person owes to someone else. Some items may be both. For example, a home’s value is an asset, but a mortgage on that home is a liability. Most items will be one or the other. A bank account or investment account is an asset. Credit cards and student loans are liabilities.

" Jack owns a home valued at $122,000. He owes $67,250 on his mortgage." How much equity does Jack have in his home? If you're not sure what "equity" means, in the context of home ownership, please look it up. Does Jack own his home "outright?" No. He owes money on it. Does Jack list the total value of his home as an asset? Yes. He does not own the house free and clear yet, but does have some equity in it. Money owed on a house is categorized as a liability. Please use this info to answer the original question.
The total value of Jack's home is $122,000. Of this, part constitutes a liability. How much is the liability? Part constitutes equity. How much is the equity? Note: (equity) + (liability) = (total value)
So, 122,000+67,250=189,250?
