The Powells have a net worth of $200,000 before any of the following transactions: - Paid off credit cards of $10,000 using the money in a savings account. - Transferred $4,000 from their checking account to their IRAs. - Purchased $2,000 of furniture on credit. What is the net worth of the Powells after these transactions? A)$200,000. B)$186,000. C)$184,000. D)$190,000.

A. $200,000. None of these transactions will change the Powells' net worth. Payment of the credit cards will reduce debt by $10,000. However, use of the savings account (to pay off the debt) will reduce assets by $10,000. The net effect on net worth is zero. The transfer from the checking account reduces assets by $4,000, and the transfer into the individual retirement accounts (IRAs) increases assets by $4,000. Therefore, the net effect on net worth is zero. The addition of the furniture will increase the client's assets by $2,000. However, the use of credit will increase the client's debt by $2,000. Therefore, the net effect on net worth is zero.
