Milestone Two: Financial Plan and Budget
Joshua Pelkey
Congratulations on graduating with your bachelor’s degree from Southern New Hampshire University! A new array of opportunities is open to you, but which will you choose, and how will it impact your life? Select your discipline area of interest and examine the set of jobs you have applied to and received offer letters for to determine which one best fits your needs and wants.
Employment Opportunity Selection
Select an employment opportunity. Although it is not required at this point, you will defend your selection using your calculations and personal criteria in the final project.

Living Expenses and Debt
Using your selected employment opportunity, analyze your monthly expenses and income, and prepare a plan for paying down your debt. You can use your actual amounts of expenses and debt
if you prefer, or, if you are uncomfortable using real numbers, or if you do not have any debt, you can make up a principal amount, interest rate, payoff period, and minimum payment to cover
at least one student loan, one credit card, and one personal or auto loan. You can utilize as many loans as you like, but you must have at least three.
Budget Creation
: Monthly income is $3,000/mo
Mortgage: $887.
Credit Card: Minimum payment is 5% of balance or $25.
Auto loan: $326/mo.
Total expenses = $1238. DTI ratio is 41%
Debt
: In this section, you will compare your lines of credit to determine the best payoff method
for you.
1.
Comparison: Compare monthly minimum payments, principal totals, interest rates, and payoff period.
Mortgage: Payment - $887,
$175,000 financed for 30/yr fixed @ 4.5%
Credit Card: $500 limit @ 18%, interest. Minimum payment is 5% of balance.
Auto loan: $326/mo, $17,500 financed for 60 months @ 4.5% interest.
2.
Process: Determine how you will figure out how to pay off your debt over time, considering your budget and your new income. Explain your process.
Mortgage is a 30 year fixed loan, this will be the last to be paid off. If my credit card is maxed out I can pay $25 per month and have it paid off in 2 years.
My auto loan is 60 months or 5 years.
3.
Plan: Establish a debt payoff plan that fits your budget, lifestyle, and the demands of the debt to be paid, explaining your reasoning.
I can add an additional $75 per month to my auto loan and pay it off a year early, this will only raise my DTI ratio by 2%. If my credit card is maxed out, I can pay $45 per month to pay it off in a year, otherwise the minimum $25 per month will take 2 years to complete.
The mortgage will still remain a 30 year fixed APR mortgage until the auto loan is paid off. Then the auto loan money (400) can go towards the loan. This can pay off my mortgage 11 years sooner.
This will keep my DTI ratio around the 42% mark, until my loans are paid off. This gives me some wiggle room to take into consideration for food and travel expenses, utilities, insurance internet and

Please answer question 10 in derail showing computation after reading the scenario thank you. Question at the endStephanie Carter has been gifted a sum of $50,000 by her grandparents on completing her graduation successfully. She is a fresh finance graduate and is excited to invest some money in the capital market, for which she intends to use the gifted sum of $50,000. However, instead of committing this money to the market immediately, she decides to wait for some time, work in the field and acquire some experience before proceeding with her intended investment. She thus contemplates an extremely conservative investment in a portfolio of stocks and bonds, at the start of year 5 from now. For now, she will leave the $50,000 in a fixed deposit with the bank which promises an interest rate of 6% per annum. She will require a return of at least 9% on her stock investments and 4% on bond investments. Stephanie would have to pay 25% taxes on any interest income. Dividends will be tax-free.…

THE MBA DECISION
Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Since graduation, he has been employed in the finance department at East Coast Yachts. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve this goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Wilton University or Mount Perry College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its students to work while enrolled in its MBA program.
Ben’s annual salary at East Coast Yachts is $57,000 per year, and his salary is expected to increase at 3 percent per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 40 more years. His current job includes a fully paid health insurance plan, and his current average tax rate is 26 percent. Ben has a…

making doodads, also called gadgets, for their project. It is still early in the project, but the team has worked hard to gather data to start building their business model. Their objective is to have a one-year model for profit

have estimated their segment size to be about 10 million customers. While the team has not reviewed the BASES sales forecasting model in detail in marketing yet, they have been provided with some place holders for the

Long-term investment decision, NPV method Jenny Jenks has researched the financial pros and cons of entering into a 1-year MBA program at her state university. The tuition and
needed books for a master's program will have an upfront cost of $52,000. If she enrolls in an MBA program, Jenny will quit her current job, which pays $50,000 per year (for simplicity,
treat any lost earnings as part of the upfront cost). On average, a person with an MBA degree earns an extra $21,000 per year over a business career of 36 years. Jenny believes that her
opportunity cost of capital is 5.9%. Given her estimates, find the net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program. Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs?

NUNAVUT PAYROLL TAX
SCENARIO
Patricia Clark, the Human Resources Manager of your Northern Expeditions
company, has advised that the company will be opening an office in Nunavut
this year. The office will offer guided northern trips to hunters and adventurers.
It expects to mainly employ local guides (40 days over the summer period) but
the company will also be periodically bringing in guides from its offices in
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Québec. Some of the guides from outside Nunavut
may work 10 days, others could work 15 days over the summer depending on
the number of bookings; they normally work in their home province for 60 days
every year. The average daily rate paid to these guides is $400.
Patricia is asking for information on the Nunavut Payroll Tax. Who pays the tax
and how is it calculated? Are there any special considerations or challenges for
the calculation of the payroll tax for the guides brought in from Alberta,…
