Net worth is calculated by: A. subtracting gross income from net income. B. subtracting liabilities from the total value of assets. C. adding gross income to net income. D. adding liabilities to the total value of assets.

Answers

Answer: Value of all assets - Liabilities from total value of assets.

(Answer Choice B)

Net worth is computed by subtracting liabilities from the total value of assets. Thus, option B is correct.

What is net worth?

Net worth is the sum of an individual's or institution's non-financial and financial assets less the sum of its outstanding obligations. Because net financial assets equal financial assets minus outstanding obligations.

Net worth may alternatively be represented as non-financial assets plus net financial assets. It can apply to businesses, people, governments, sectors of the economy such as the banking industry, or whole nations. The formula for computation of the net worth is mentioned as follows:-

Net worth =  Value of all assets - Liabilities from total value of assets.

Therefore, it can be concluded that net worth is calculated by subtracting liabilities from total assets. As a result, option B is correct.

Read the excerpt from Esperanza Rising.

Esperanza looked up to see Miguel, holding a broom and a dustpan. But he wasn't laughing. She looked down and bit her lip so she wouldn't cry in front of him.He shut the door, then stood in front of her and said, "How would you know how to sweep a floor? The only thing that you ever learned was how to give orders. That is not your fault. Anza, look at me."

Which detail explains how Esperanza must change?

Miguel tells her that these problems are not her fault.

Answers

Answer:

Miguel says she only knows how to give orders to servants.

Explanation:

This seems the most logical, and I say this with somewhat confidence as I have read Esperanza before. It makes sense because previously, I believe, Esperanza's house had burnt down, and now she must be accustomed to working rather than ordering because she lost everything to the fire. So, in that way, Miguel telling Esperanza that proves that she must change or things will not fare well for her.

In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions.

Answers

Answer:what kinda middle school work is this bro anyways hope this helps

Explanation:

In very specific situations, the apostrophe is used to replace missing letters in contractions, to show the possessive form of some nouns, and to make the plural of some words. 1. To indicate missing letters in words or missing numbers in a year, use an apostrophe in a contraction.

2. Use an apostrophe in the possessive form of a noun to indicate ownership. To show ownership, add apostrophe + s to the end of a word, with one exception: To show ownership with a plural noun already ending in s add only the apostrophe.

In quite certain circumstances, the apostrophe  is utilized to supplant missing letters in constrictions, to show the possessive type of certain things, and to make the plural of certain words.

Uses of apostrophe are:

To demonstrate missing letters in words or missing numbers in a year, utilize a punctuation in a withdrawal.

Utilize an apostrophe  in the possessive type of a thing to demonstrate proprietorship.

To show proprietorship, add punctuation + s to the furthest limit of a word, with one special case.

To show possession with a plural thing previously finishing off with s add just the punctuation.

The basic guideline is that the possessive of a solitary thing is shaped by adding a punctuation apostrophe and s, whether or not the particular thing closes in s.

The possessive of a plural thing is framed by adding just a punctuation when the thing closes in s, and by adding both a punctuation and s when it closes in a letter other than s.
