Question 10 • Economics and Personal Finance

Brenda created this personal balance sheet. Brenda’s Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities jewelry food wages health insurance commission rent bank account tips Total Total Brenda says her assets are definitely greater than her liabilities. Which explains whether Brenda is correct?

Answer
A
Brenda is correct because all the items should be in the assets column of the balance sheet.
B
Brenda is not correct because the total value of her assets could be less than the liabilities.
C
Brenda is correct because she has five assets and only three liabilities.
D
Brenda is not correct because she needs to list more liabilities.

Explanation

Brenda cannot know that her assets are greater just by looking at the listed items; she would need to compare their total values. Assets are things she owns, such as jewelry and money in a bank account, while liabilities are amounts she owes. The value of her assets could be less than the total she owes, so Brenda is not necessarily correct.
