,The expenses and income of an individual are given in table form to the right. Find the net monthly
cash flow (it could be positive or negative). Assume salaries and wages are after taxes. When you need
to convert between weeks and months, assume that
1 month equals 4 weeks
Scholarship is annual. Convert to monthly.
INCOME: 3600 divided by 12 = 300 | Add income: 600 + 300 + 300 = $1,200
Groceries: 60 * 4 = 240m | Tuition & Fees: 3600 * 2= 7200/12 = 600m |Incidentals: 60 * 4 = 240m
EXPENSES: 550 + 240 + 600 + 240 = $1,630
INCOME – EXPENSES – Monthly Cash Flow |$1,200 -$1,630 = -430
The net monthly cash flow is $- 430
The expenses and income of an individual are given in table form to the right. Find the net monthly
cash flow (it could be positive or negative). Assume salaries and wages are after taxes. When you need
to convert between weeks and months, assume that 1 month equals 4 weeks.
5400/12 = 450m
INCOME: 700 + 400 + 450 = $1,550
550m |70 * 4 = 280m | 500m | 360m

, The table to the right shows expenses and income for an individual. Find the net monthly cash flow
(it could be negative or positive). Assume that salaries and wages are after taxes, and assume 1
month equals 4 weeks.
INCOME: 2,400m
90*4=360m | 2(420+490) = 1820/12 = 151.67m
EXPENSES: 1000m | 360m | 100m | 151.67m | 100m | 440m | 75m = 2226.67
173.33 = 173
The net monthly cash flow is $173
