The price used depends on the date (AFAIR) in the report. So the 
"Net worth by year" takes the price on Dec 31st for that matter. The
price could be the one of the last purchase/sale if no other
information is available. Adding a price manually for Dec 31st thus
could make a difference for you.

The reporting engine is a tricky beast. The core of it can be found in
plugins/views/reports/core and for the networth report it would be the
pivottable.cpp file. The definition of the default reports is located
in plugins/views/reports/kreportsview_p.h in the method loadView().

Again, I am not 100% sure about all the details of the report engine
even more so if it comes to investments so the above might be mistaken.
