选项：
A. $755
B. $679
C. $854
解释：
B is correct.
考点：economic balance sheet
解析：economic balance sheet不仅包含了传统的资产和负债，还包含了extended assets & liabilities，例如养老金、未来消费的现值。所以计算过程中既要包含表格中的财务信息，也要包含表格上方的4条个人信息。其中，
Total economic assets = PV of future earnings+ Checking account+ Taxable investment account+ Residence=3900+27+625+525=$5077 (in thousands)
Total economic liabilities= PV of education + vacation home+ PV of future consumption+ Residential mortgage+ Outstanding balance on line of credit=250+325+3500+285+38=$4398 (in thousands)
所以Economic net worth=5077-4398=679 (in thousands)
补充解释表格中最后一行的Outstanding balance on a $100,000 home equity line of credit：$38,000
意思是房屋抵押贷款（home equity line of credit）当初申请到了$100,000，这几年陆续还掉了一些本金，所以贷款余额（Outstanding balance）还剩$38,000，因此目前负债$38,000。
为什么只在负债端增加3.8万的负债，却不在资产端增加10万的资产呢？
