Being financially responsible is no easy task for any age, but it is certainly the best choice for everyone to follow. One of th

e first steps to being responsible is to plan a budget for your income and spending This will help you learn to manage your money. Anyone can make a budget plan by listing all fixed expenses for the month, then determining variable expenses, and, finally, planning for miscellaneous expenses. You should know your income-to-debt ratio in order to determine how much money you actually have and how much money you actually spend. It is important to track your spending by making a list and then avoiding impulse purchases. Putting aside some money for savings for emergencies and future goals is crucial to being financially responsible
Another important goal is to use credit wisely and make all payments on time. When borrowing money, you should shop around for the best interest rates and choose wisely by reviewing all the terms and conditions of the loan or credit card. Remember to only charge and borrow what you can afford to repay, not what you are offered in a loan or credit limit. Always use discipline in your borrowing, and be committed to paying back your loans in a timely manner.
You can have control over your finances if you take the right steps. If you do get into trouble with managing your money, there are ways to take back control. There are people and resources to guide you in becoming financially responsible, even if you have made some poor decisions.

OBJECTIVES
Calculate credit card payments at various interest rates.
Identify the three Cs of creditworthiness.
Examine credit scores.
Develop plans for becoming financially responsible.
Compare renting to owning a home.
Before You Begin
Examine the Prompt

Many adults make poor choices about credit and financing. In order to understand smart choices and the results of poor choices, you will complete a research project comparing three people and their circumstances. You will identify, calculate, and project credit-card debt, payments, and mortgage rates. You will write a five hundred word essay comparing the three people, their particular circumstances, and your projected advice.

Directions
Meet Gary. He has a great credit score and little credit card debt, with only two cards and owing $2,000 on each with a 10% interest rate. He has been working at his current job for four years with a steady income.

Meet Greg. He has a good credit score and some credit card debt, with five cards owing $2,000 on each. He has reached the maximum limit on two of them, but one is late, regularly costing him additional late fees. All have a 12% interest rate. He has been working at his current job for a year.

Meet Bob. Meet Bob. He has a bad credit score and high credit-card debt, with seven cards, owing $4,000 on each. He has reached the maximum limit on five of them, but all are late each month, costing additional late fees. All have a 15% interest rate. He has had six jobs in the past two years but has been working at his current job for three months.

Part I.

Assign a credit rating number to each person.
Explain why each person has a certain credit rating.
How can each person improve or maintain that credit rating?
Estimate the monthly credit-card payments for each of these people.
How can each person become more responsible?
Write a plan of improvement for each person.
Part II.

Each person wants to buy a home. Why should each person buy and not rent? Find each one a $200,000 house to purchase, using a local real-estate listing. What would the interest rate be for each? What would the monthly mortgage payment be? Why is each a different amount?

Part III.

Summarize the results of your research, and explain why it is financially responsible to make wise choices, using these three people as examples.

Prompt
Write a five hundred word essay answering all the questions about the three scenarios. Be sure to discuss the creditworthiness of each person, as listed below.

the credit card problems and payments
the suggestions for having better credit

Answer:

This is what I put

Gary: score of 650

Greg:440

Bob:220

Explanation:

To improve their credit score they would have to join a credit union , they help because they typically charge lower fees but if the credit score is too bad then even they wont help. First thing would be to pay all the bills on time.  

If Gary payed off his debt in 12 months or 1 year he would have to pay a minimmum$352 a month for 12 months.  

In order for Greg to pay off his he's going to have to pay 888 a month for 13 months in order to pay off his debt but then he a;;so has to pay off his late fees so probably around almost 2 years until he can start working on his credit.  

Bob would probably have to pay 666 a month in his current situation for 5 years in order t pay off his debt but then he also has the late fees so maybe around 6-6.5 years until he can start building his credit.

so  its best for all of them to get rid of all their credit cards but more than 2 is deadly they can work on paying stuff on time.

If they all wanted to buy a home it would be better than renting because at least they wouldn't have to pay every month for rent cost along with the debt they all already owe, but even buying a home is dangerous because if they cant buy it all at once they are in debt on paying for the house along with everything else they are in debt for.

They chose not to pay for everything they were in debt for already at the time the bills were due and because of that its going to cost more than before because the longer you wait the more you will owe, all because they hold off on their payments. hence why it's deadly because again the longer they wait the more money they have to give, leaving them in bad debt and no money to help pay their fees and bills.

Assume that Crane Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $630,000; Purchase Returns
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold =$61,5300

Gross Profit = $144,700

Explanation:

Given the information:

  • Purchase : $630,000
  • Purchase Returns and Allowances $25,700
  • Prchases Discounts $10,900
  • Freight-In $18,300
  • beginning inventory of $45,000
  • ending inventory of $64,600
  • net sales of $760,000

As we the, the fomular for total Goods Available for Sale

=   Beginning Inventory + Purchases + Freight-In - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchases Discounts

= $45,000 +  $630,000 + $18,300 - $25,700 - $10,900

= $67,9900

=> Cost of goods sold =  Total Goods Available for Sale - ending inventory

= $67,9900 - $64,600

= $61,5300

=> Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

= $760,000 - $61,5300

= $144,700

Hope it will find you well.

The December 31, 2021, adjusted trial balance for Fightin' Blue Hens Corporation is presented below. Accounts Debit Credit Cash
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Usually, we use the "Income Summary" account to close the Income Statement accounts such as revenues and expenses.

First, close the revenue account by debiting it:

(DR) Service Revenue $450,000

(CR)       Income Summary    $450,000

Then, close the expenses accounts by crediting them:

(DR) Income Summary $407,000

(CR)        Salaries Expense       $350,000

(CR)        Rent Expense              $17,500

(CR)       Depreciation Expense   $35,000

(CR)      Interest Expense             $4,500

Finally, close the Income Summary account to Retained Earnings.

The balance of the Income Summary is a credit balance of $43,000

(credit of $450,000 less debit of $407,000)

So, to close the account we have to debit it.

(DR)  Income Summary      $43,000

(CR)               Retained Earnings          $43,000
