Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Exhibit 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan (1 of 5) EXHIBIT 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan BUDGET PLAN My monthly salary of $3,000 after taxes is direct deposited to my checking account. I will use this account to cover all bills and other expenses. My total expenses (including recreation) should be about $2,918 per month. This leaves me with net cash flows of $82. I will also receive an annual tax refund of about $3,000. The taxes I pay during the year will exceed my tax liability, as the interest payments on my mortgage will reduce my taxable income. I will use the net cash flows each month to cover any unanticipated expenses that occurred during the month. My second priority is to use the net cash flows to keep about $2,600 in my money market fund (MMF) to ensure liquidity. If this fund is already at that level, I will use the net cash flows each month to invest in a mutual fund.

All Rights Reserved Exhibit 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan (2 of 5) EXHIBIT 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan PLAN FOR MANAGING LIQUIDITY Since my salary is direct deposited to my checking account, I have a convenient means of covering my expenses. My backup source of liquidity is my MMF, which currently contains $2,600; I will maintain the account balance at about that level to ensure liquidity. If I ever need more money than is in this account, I could rely on my net cash flows. In addition, I could sell some shares of my mutual fund, or I could cover some expenses with a credit card, and would hope to use part of my next paycheck to pay off the credit card bill.

All Rights Reserved Exhibit 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan (3 of 5) EXHIBIT 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan PLAN FOR FINANCING I have two finance payments: a monthly car loan payment of $412, and a monthly mortgage payment of $966 (including property taxes and homeowner’s insurance). I would like to pay off the car loan early if possible. The interest rate on that loan is 7.60%, and the interest is not tax-deductible. The principal remaining on the car loan will decrease over time as I pay down the debt with my monthly payments. I may consider selling my shares of the mutual fund and using the proceeds to pay off part of the car loan. My decision will depend on whether I believe the mutual fund can provide a higher return to me than the cost of the car loan. When I pay off the car loan, my cash outflows will be reduced by $412 per month. Thus, I should have more net cash flows that I can use to make investments and increase contributions to my retirement account.

All Rights Reserved Exhibit 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan (4 of 5) EXHIBIT 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan INSURANCE PLAN I have car insurance that covers the car and limits my liability. I have homeowner’s insurance that covers the full market value of my home. I have health insurance through my employer. I have disability insurance that will provide financial support if I become disabled. I have life insurance, with my two nieces named as the beneficiaries. If I decide to have children in the future, I will purchase additional life insurance in which they would be named as the beneficiaries. PLAN FOR INVESTING I have an individual stock that I plan to sell, and I will use the proceeds to invest in a stock mutual fund. This creates more diversification and reduces my exposure to risk.

All Rights Reserved Exhibit 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan (5 of 5) EXHIBIT 21.5 Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan RETIREMENT AND ESTATE PLAN I would like to allocate an additional $100 per month toward an individual retirement account (IRA) as I expect that it would increase my retirement fund by an estimated $185,710 at the time of my expected retirement. However, I am not likely to have an extra $100 each month that I could contribute to an IRA at this time. I will contribute even more income to my retirement (up to the maximum limit allowed) as my income increases over time. I will also create a will to ensure that any wealth that I have accumulated is allocated in the manner that I desire.
