16. Compute the Nondiscretionary Cost percentage
- $27.87%
Nondiscretionary Cost/Total Income = Nondiscretionary Cost percentage
$28,975/($115,000+$1,500) = .2487 = 24.87%
17. Compute the Emergency Fund Ratio.
- $5.84
Liquid Assets/Monthly Household Expenses = Emergency Fund Ratio
Liquid Assets = Current assets
Liquid Assets = $2,500 + $12,000 + $3,500 = $18,000
Monthly Household Expenses = Nondiscretionary + Discretionary Expenses / 12
Monthly Household Expenses = $28,975 + $8,000 /12 = $36,975/12 =$3,081.25
$18,000/$3,081.25 = 5.84%
18. Compute the Current Ratio.
- $1.04
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = $9,500 + $7,800 = $17,300
Current Ratio = $18,000/$17,300 = 1.04%
19. Compute the Gross Savings percentage.
- $68.26%
20. Compute the Discretionary Cost percentage
- $6.87%,,
Discretionary Cost / Total Income = Discretionary Cost percentage
$8,000 / ($115,000 + $1,500) = .0687 = 6.87%
