- NETWORTH.DOC
-
- Having a net worth statement and analyzing it carefully can often
- be a very useful tool. In developing a good financial plan, it's
- important to know where you're at now before you can make plans for
- the future. A systematic calculation of your net worth is a good first
- step toward getting control of your financial life. A net worth
- statement can be a help in setting specific goals. For example,
- perhaps you should start an investment or savings plan or buy a home
- instead of continuing to rent.
-
- Before you use this program, you should consider just what it is
- that you want to find out. Literally, net worth is what you could get
- in cash for your assets minus your liabilities at a given point in
- time. Usually this point in time is the present. But you could also
- use a net worth statement to find out what your estimated worth would
- be at retirement, if a relative leaves you their fortune or what your
- estate would be worth to your survivors. In essence, there are a
- multitude of things that a net worth statement can provide you with
- when you plug in the appropriate figures.
-
- When getting together the figures for your statement, be sure to
- use the market value of the asset instead of its replacement cost.
- What something is worth if just the right buyer is found will probably
- bring substantially less if an immediate sale is needed.
-
- To use the program, enter NW23 at the DOS prompt. The user will be
- prompted to enter the name and address of the person for whoam the
- statement is being created. The program will then begin displaying the
- categories for your current or liquid assets; and requesting that an
- amount be enter after each category. If a category is listed in which
- you have no amount to enter, then enter a zero (0) and the printout to
- your printer will not display that category.
-
- After the program displays all of the pre-defined categories, you
- are asked to list all your other cash value assets. The program allows
- the user to define his or her own categories by first entering a short
- description of the asset, followed by a dollar amount. If you have
- less than 100 categories, or none at all, enter either EXIT or exit
- at the ITEM prompt. The program will then move on to the next
- liabilities section.
-
- The liabilities section work exactly as did the one for assets.
- First you are given some user-defined categories in which to enter all
- the loans and debts that are due in less than a year or what are to be
- considered your current liabilities. As with the assets section of the
- program, if you have nothing to enter then enter EXIT or exit at the
- ITEM prompt. This section is then followed by some pre-defined
- categories. Again, if no amount is to be entered for that category,
- then enter a zero and it will not be printed by your printer.
-
- A summary of your total assets, total liabilities, networth,
- solvency ratio, and current ratio will then be printed on the screen.
-
- You will then be prompted to turn on your printer, where a
- complete net worth statement will be printed along with your solvency
- ratio. A ratio of 1.00 or more indicates that your assets will cover
- your liabilities. Many lenders require that this ratio be based on
- your current assets and current liabilities. This ratio is reflected
- in the heading Current ratio.
-
- At the end of the printing, you will be asked if you would like
- another copy of the statement. if you answer 'Y', then be sure that
- the print head of your printer is located at the top of a new sheet of
- paper. If you answer 'N', you are given the chance to compile a new
- net worth statement or exit the program.
