<em>Answer:</em>

<em>1. Availability of Money:</em>

<em>The expenditure of a family depends upon the availability of money or total income of the family. It can afford to spend under various needs. In lower income group, families expenditure is more on food. Higher income group families spend more on recreation, education and luxuries etc.</em>

<em>2. The size and the composition of the family:</em>

<em>Expenditure depends upon the size and composition of the family. The size of the family means the number of adults and children. The more the mouths to eat the expenditure is more on food, clothing and shelter. With the growth of children, more will be spent on education and clothing. More will be spent towards transportation when the members go out of the house for work or study.</em>

<em>Composition of the family means the number of adults and children in the family. It also includes the number of males, females and old persons. For old persons, extra expenditure will be incurred towards health and medical expenses.</em>

<em>3. Stages of family life cycle:</em>

<em>Family life cycle plays an important role in spending money. At the beginning stage, most part of the family income is spent towards the establishment expenditure as a newly married couple starts their family life. In the expanding stage families need money for the children, their food, dress, education etc. Some families in the expanding stage spend more on purchasing durable household goods, furniture etc. In the contracting stage major expenditure is on wedding celebration of their children. During this stage, the family income is gradually reduced. So the expenditure should be cut short.</em>

<em>4. Occupation of the family members:</em>

<em>Sometimes expenditure of the family depends upon the occupation of the family members. In certain jobs, there are special benefits like free quarters, educational facilities for children, health and medical allowance, travelling allowance etc.</em>

<em>5. The needs and objectives of the family:</em>

<em>Expenditure will be done according to the needs and objectives of the family. For example, a family where young children are there, more will be spent for nutritious foods. Old people require health and medical expenses. Working women spend money for the servants as they do not find time to do the household work.</em>

<em>6. Resources:</em>

<em>Both human and material resources can make significant changes in the pattern of expenditure of a family. The abilities, skill, knowledge, interest, attitude and habits of the members of the family can be utilized for various purposes as supplementary income.</em>

<em>7. Locality of the family:</em>

<em>In rural areas more will be spent on food. But in urban areas the expenditure is more on education, recreation, transportation, accommodation etc.</em>

<em>8. Socio-economic status of the family:</em>

<em>The socio-economic status of the family is determined by its income, education level and occupation of the members. The higher the socio-economic status the expenditure will be more on interior decoration, higher education, club membership, accommodation, recreation etc. The total expenditure depends on the standard of living the family maintains.</em>

<em>9. Social and religious traditions:</em>

<em>Some families accept old and traditional values. So they spend more on marriages and religious festival.</em>

<em>10. Personal choice:</em>

<em>Expenditure depends upon the personal choice. For example, one person may have a liking for expensive perfumes and jewellery while another may have simple tastes. Expenditure is also affected by the measures taken in the family to make provision for the future like house building, higher education of children etc. The home-maker will be able to manage with her income by cutting out unnecessary and extravagant expenditure. “One must cut one’s coat according to his cloth.”</em>

<em />

<em>This saying is rightly proved in home management. Balancing of income and expenditure is the best way of money management. Whatever the income may be, the efficient management of money is a requisite for a happy, successful and peaceful family life.</em>

The price index in the first year is 110, in the second year is 100, and in the third year is 96. The economy experienced
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a. 9.1 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 4 percent deflation between the second and third years.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of inflation/deflation, we have to divide by the oldest price index.

The second year, the variation of the price index was:

\Delta PI/PI=\frac{PI_2-PI_1}{PI_1}=\frac{100-110}{110}=\frac{-10}{110}=-0.909=-9.1\%

This means a 9.1% deflation.

The third year, the variation of the price index was:

\Delta PI/PI=\frac{PI_3-PI_2}{PI_2}=\frac{96-100}{100}=\frac{-4}{100}=-0.04=-4\%

This means a 4% deflation.

Mays Corp. reported free cash flows for 2018 of $491 million and investment in operating capital of $321 million. Mays Corp. inc
Anon25 [30]

Answer: $975 million

Explanation:

Given the above details, we can solve for Earnings Before Tax and Interest with the following formula,

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT – Taxes on EBIT + Depreciation

Making EBIT the subject would turn it to be,

EBIT = Operating Cash Flow + Taxes on EBIT - Depreciation

We have all of the above except the EBIT and Operating Cash Flow.

Luckily we can solve for the Operating Cash Flow with the details given using,

Operating cash flow = Free Cash Flow + Investment in operating capital

Therefore,

= $491 million + $321 million

= $812 million

Operating cash flow is $812 million

Plugging it into the original formula we have,

EBIT = Operating Cash Flow + Taxes on EBIT - Depreciation

EBIT = $812 million + $309 million - $146 million

EBIT = $975 million

Earnings before Taxes and Interest is $975 million.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.
