Therefore, Paul has a net worth, and his statement is .

Paul has negative worth of $2,900

His statement is invalid as he did not consider all assets and debts in aggregate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net worth of Paul is the total asset owned by him less the total of debts owed by him.

Paul's total assets can computed thus:

Stock portfolio                 $21,000

Home worth                     $365,000

Car worth                          $19,000

Total assets                       $405,000

Paul's total debts can be computed as follows:

Mortgage loan                     $362,000

Car loan                                $16,250

credit card debt                     $11,750

Student loan                          $17,900

Total debts                             $407,900

The amount of debts owed by Paul is $2,900($405,000-$407,900) more than his asset worth,which implies that Paul is indebted to the tune of $2,900,hence has negative worth.
