Consider each of the following case studies. For each scenario, create a monthly budget. You will have to make reasonable assumptions for many expenses based on personal experience and internet research. Where required, include a description of any assumptions made.
Case Study 1
Part 1
Kevin has recently graduated from a college program in Computer
Engineering Technology and has accepted a job with a computer
networking company in Kitchener, Ontario. His monthly salary after
deductions is $2235. Kevin rents a one-bedroom apartment in town.
His monthly rent is $950 plus electricity, phone, internet, and
cable. Kevin owns an older car which seems to need many repairs
lately. Kevin is also a big movie fan. Between going to the movies
and buying DVD’s, Kevin estimates that he spends $60 per week.
Part 2
Kevin borrows $12 000 to buy a new car. His car loan charges
interest of 6.9% /a, compounded monthly. The loan is amortized over
3 years. Use the TVM Solver to determine his monthly payments.
Create a revised budget to reflect this expense. You will likely
need to reduce some of Kevin’s expenses so that he can afford his
car payments.
Part 1:
As per internet data,
Average food expense is $550 and average electricity,phone,cable expense is $150
Average Car maintenance is $50 per month. So, below is the monthly budget for kevin:
Monthly income | Rent Expense | Miscellaneous Expense (Electricity, Phone, cable, internet, Food Expense) | Car Maintenance | Movie expense | Savings (Net income-Rent-Miscellaneous Expense-Car Maintenance-Movie expense) |
$2,235.00 | $950.00 | $700.00 | $50.00 | $240.00 | $295.00 |
Part 2:
His monthly payment buying a new car would be $169.98. Below is the calculation:
Monthly interest rate=6.9%/12=0.58%
Tenure=3*12=36 month
His new monthly budget is given below:
Monthly income | Rent Expense | Miscellaneous Expense (Electricity, Phone, cable, internet, Food Expense) | Car Maintenance | Movie expense | Monthly Loan payment on Car Loan | Savings (Net income-Rent-Miscellaneous Expense-Car Maintenance-Movie expense-CAR EMI) |
$2,235.00 | $950.00 | $700.00 | $25.00 | $120.00 | $369.98 | $70.02 |
As it's a new car he has lower maintenance cost on car, I assumed this to be $25/month and reduced expense on movie s $120/month so that he can afford his car payments.
