Answer:

The Ted's net worth is $398,700

Explanation:

The net worth is also known as equity. It is a difference between total assets minus total liabilities.

Here, we use the accounting equation which is equals to

Total assets = Total liabilities + total equity

where,

Total assets = Lexus worth + home worth + checking account + saving account + mutual funds + personal assets

= $44,500 + $395,000 + $600 + $3,900 + $119,000 + $99,000

= $662,000

And, the total liabilities = Car loan + Home loan + credit card balance

= $22,700 + $237,000 + $3,600

= $263,300

So, the net worth would be equal to

= $662,000 - $263,300

= $398,700

Hence, the Ted's net worth is $398,700
