According to the U.S. Census Bureau (www.census.gov), the median household income in the United States was $23,618 in 1985, $34,

076 in 1995, $46,326 in 2005, and $57,230 in 2015. In purchasing power terms, how did family income compare in each of those four years? You will need to know that the CPI (multiplied by 100, 1982–1984 = 100) was 107.6 in 1985, 152.4 in 1995, 195.3 in 2005, and 237.0 in 2015

Answer:

The highest median income in purchasing power terms was in 1995, then 2005, 2015, and last 1985

Explanation:

To solve this question we must transform the median household income into comparable units. To do so we use the CPI data given in the problem.

We can arrange everything in a spreadsheet like the attached figure. In  column A we have the years, in B the nominal median household income, in the third the CPI divided by 100, this will allow us to deflate and calculate the median income in constant 1982-1984 us dollars (since 1982-1984 will be the numeraire at 1). We do that by dividing column B by C, which is shown in column D.

With these values then we have all the median incomes in comparable units. We now can order and compare them

<h3>What is a Tax return?</h3>

Which is not a part of your budget?
rewona [7]

Answer:

d.) discretionary expenses

Explanation:

We can explain going further into what is each item.

<u>A and B are your income </u>(for this question don’t sweat about the difference between gross and realized). They will constitute all the money you have in that period (the period will depend on the regularity of your income, it could be weekly, monthly, etc.).

Your fixed expenses are the things you will expend money on which, no matter what happens, will not change (it could be your rent, tax, health insurance, etc.).

Discretionary expenses, however, are costs that are things that you WANT, not NEED. It could go anywhere from a new shoe to a new boat (if you´re feeling rich, that is lol). That kind of expense will impact your available money (hey, nothing is free) but is not part of your budget as it is not a planned cost.

However, is important to note that if you wanna be super Monica Geller with your money you should forecast your discretionary expenses. Using your history as a base for calculating will eliminate most of the margin error.
