Answer:

The net worth (owners' equity) for this business is $2.2 million

Explanation:

Net worth: It is also known as owner's equity which is a difference between total assets and total assets.

In this question, we use the accounting equation which is used to balance the debit and credit side of the balance sheet items.

So, the accounting equation is

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Company assets are $3.5 million

And, liabilities is $1.3 million
