Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I added missing the part of the question as an attachment below:
Answer:
<u>No, Dan should reduce his discretionary spending.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Note, the term discretionary spending often refers to spending on unimportant/necessary things. In other words, things that one can do without but they still spend on.
Noteworthy among his expenses were his Cruise trip to Mexico which took about $3,500 (excluding other entertainment expenses). This shows that Dan didn't stay on his budget since some avoidable expenses were eating out of his total income; leaving him with zero savings.

Answer:
The answer is $86,167.57 (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the present value of a certain amount that is compounded semiannually, and after 10 years, yields a future value of $200,000. To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating present value as follows:
PV = FV ÷
where:
PV = present value = ???
FV = future value = $200,000
r = interest rate in decimal = 8.6% = 0.086
n = compounding period pr year = semiannually = 2
t = time of compounding in years = 10
Therefore,
PV = 200,000 ÷
PV = 200,000 ÷ = $86,167.57
