    Option (a) $4,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Amount paid for the car = $20,000

    Monthly installments left = 24

    Current balance on the auto loan = $9,000

    Market value of the vehicle = $13,000

    Now,

    Value of assets = Market value of the vehicle = $13,000

    Liabilities = Current balance on the auto loan = $9,000

    Also,

    Assets = Equity + Liabilities

    or

    Equity = Assets - Liabilities

    or

    Equity = $13,000 - $9,000

    = $4,000

    Hence,

    Option (a) $4,000
