    Net worth is the difference between a person's (assets - liabilities)

    Based on the balance sheet equation; Assets = Liabilities + Equity, meaning that Assets - Liabilities = Equity.

    With the above two equations, Net worth = Equity = $56,000

    Debt-to - Equity ratio = Debt / Equity

    Note: $80,000 mortgage will not be included as debt to avoid double counting error since it is is a pay towards a home (asset) already incorporated in the $56,000 net worth.

    So, D/E = 13,000 / 56,000

    D/E = 0.2321
