Answer:

$39.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross Income: $4,520.00/mo

FICA deduction: $345.78 (4,520 x 0.765)

FTW deduction: $531.1 (4,520 x .1175)

STW Deduction: $348.2 (4,520 x.085)

REALIZED INCOME : $3,258.92 x .3)

Fixed Income: $977.76 ($3,258.92 x .3)

5 months fixed income: $4,888.38

CD savings Account balance: $3,666.28 ($4,888.38 x.75)

Regular savings account balance: $1,222.1 ($4,888.38 - $3,66.28)

Forumla:$ x APR% x time

Everything must be in decimal form. For this case we are looking at 60/365 days of the year, which the last parenthesis represent.

CD= ($3,666.28)(.0525)(.164384)=$31.64

RSA= ($1222.1)(.038)(.164384)= $7.63

$31.64+$7.63=$39.27

The total amount of the emergency funds is 4,888.38 dollars. Then the correct option is B.

What is APR?

APR on a credit card is the way of saying that the interest you are charged over a year is equal to roughly of your balance.

Your gross income is $4,520.00/month.

Your deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (11.75%), and state tax withholding (8.5%).

Your fixed expenses are 30% of your realized income.

You saved 5 months' worth in an emergency fund, placing 75% in a 60-day CD at a 5.25% APR and the rest in a regular savings account at a 3.8% APR.

Gross income = $4,520 per month

FICA deduction = 4,520 × 0.765 = $345.78

FTW deduction = 4,520 × 0.1175 = $531.1

STW deduction = 4,520 × 0.085 = $348.2

Realized income = $3,285.92

Fixed income = 3,285.92 × 0.3 = $977.76

5 month fixed income = $4,888.38

CD saving account balance = 4888.38 × 0.75 = $3,666.38

Regular savings account balance = 4,888.38 – 3,666.28 = $1,222.1

We know that

P × APR × T

Everything must be in decimal form. For this case, we are looking at 60/365 days of the year, which the last parenthesis represents.

CD = ($3,666.28)(0.0525)(0.164384) = $31.64

RSA = ($1,222.1)(0.038)(0.164384) = $7.63

Then we have

$31.64 + $7.63 = $ 39.27
