100 POINTS if it is wrong i will delete your answer! Calculating Monthly Expenses

The second step to building a family budget is to outline your expenses in greater detail, itemizing fixed and variable expenses.

Suppose the table below shows your family’s monthly expenses by category.

Expense Fixed or Variable Expense? Average Monthly Cost Yearly Cost Percent of Yearly Budget (Rounded)

Income Tax Fixed $400 $4,800 "$4,800" /"$48,900" " = 9.8%"

Housing $950

Food $7,800

Clothing Variable $75

Transportation Fixed $6,000

Insurance & Medical $1,200

Entertainment $100 $1,200

Emergency Fund Fixed $50

Savings for College Fixed $600

Savings for Retirement $100 $1,200

Total $4,075 $48,900 100%

Fixed expenses are expenses that do not change from month to month, and variable expenses are expenses that can fluctuate from month to month. Complete the second column of the chart by determining if each expense is fixed or variable. (10 points – 2 points each)

Choose an example of a fixed expense and an example of a variable expense, and explain why they are classified that way. (4 points)

Step-by-step explanation:If it is the cost monthly you are looking for, divide the yearly cost by 12. If you are looking for yearly cost, multiply the monthly cost by 12.

And if you would like to know what a variable and fixed expense is, the variable expense is the expense that can change, so say for instance, food isn’t gonna cost at two different places, so it’s variable. A fixed expense is an expense that is regularly paid and always the same cost.

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

sinn is the total amount of students now and m were the students before, you subtract them both (n-m) and divide that by m. then, since to get a percentage from a fraction you have to multiply by 100, your answer should look like this: n-m/m*100
