Explanation / Answer

Increase to $209,000, increase to $209,000 is answer

Jordan’s wealth before win is $109,000. His assets are two cars, a house, cash and a checking account balance whichtotal $213,000. His liabilities are a mortgage, car loans and a credit card balance which total $104,000. The difference is his wealth.

Now he has won $100,000 and if he pays the entire mortage, his liability will decline to 4,000, and as there will be no change in assets, the wealth will increase by 100,000 to $209,000

if he puts in checking account, then his assets will increase by 100,000 to $313,000 and liability will remain at 104,000, then the wealth will increase by $100,000 to $209,000

increase to $209,000;increase to $209,000

increase to $209,000;increase to $209,000
