The net worth is $100,000

Explanation:

The computation of net worth is shown below:

Net worth = Total assets - total liabilities

where,

Total assets = Condo + car + miscellaneous assets + mutual funds

= $240,000 + $25,000 + $7,500 + $27,500

= $300,000

And, the total liabilities equal to

= Owning a condo + car owned

= $185,000 + $15,000

= $200,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $300,000 - $200,000

= $100,000

The term life insurance policy is neither an asset nor a liability, so it would be not be considered in the computation part.
