All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible 2 website, in whole or in part. ANSWERS TO CHAPTER CONCEPT CHECKS LO1.1 Recognize the keys to achieving financial success. 1. Explain the five steps in the financial planning process. Answer: There are five fundamental steps to the personal financial planning process: (1) evaluate your financial health to your education and career choice; (2) define your financial goals; (3) develop a plan of action to achieve your goals; (4) implement spending and saving plans to monitor and control progress toward your goals; and (5) review your financial progress and make changes as appropriate. 2. Distinguish among financial success, financial security, and financial happiness. Answer: Financial success is the achievement of financial aspirations that are desired, planned, or attempted. Success is defined by the individual or family that seeks it. Financial success may be defined as being able to live according to one’s standard of living. Financial security is that comfortable feeling that your financial resources will be adequate to fulfill any needs you have as well as your wants. Financial happiness is the experience you have when you are satisfied with money matters. People who are happy about their finances will see a spillover into positive feelings about life in general. 3. Summarize what you will accomplish studying personal finance. Answer: Several things can be accomplished by studying personal finance. Recognize how to manage unexpected and expected financial events. Pay as little as possible in income taxes. Understand how to effectively comparison shop for vehicles and homes. Protect what we own. Invest wisely. Accumulate and protect the wealth that we may choose to spend during our non-working years (e.g., retirement) or donate. 4. What are the building blocks to achieving financial success? Answer: The building blocks for achieving financial success include a foundation of regular income that provides the means to support your lifestyle and save for desired goals in the future. The foundation supports a base of various banking accounts, insurance protection, and employee benefits. Then we can establish goals, a recordkeeping system, a budget, and an emergency savings fund. We will also manage various expenses such as housing, transportation, insurance, and the payment of taxes. We will also need to handle credit, savings, and educational costs. Finally, we invest in various investment alternatives such as mutual funds, stocks, and bonds, often for retirement. As a result of all these building blocks, we are more apt to have a financially successful life. LO1.2 Understand how the economy affects your personal financial success. 1. Summarize the phases of the business cycle. Answer: The business cycle entails a wavelike pattern of rising and falling economic activity as measured by economic indicators like unemployment rates or the gross domestic product. The phases of the business cycle include expansion (preferred stage—production is high, unemployment low, interest rates low or falling, stock market and consumer demand high), peak, contraction, downturn, trough, and recovery. 2. Describe two statistics that help predict the future direction of the economy. Answer: Forecasting the state of the economy involves predicting, estimating, or calculating what will happen in advance. We need to be able to forecast the state of the economy, inflation, and interest rates so that we have advance warning of the directions and strength of changes in economic trends since they will affect our personal finances. Two statistics we could watch are the consumer confidence index (how consumers feel about the economy and their personal finances) and the index of leading economic indicators (composite index, averages ten components of economic growth).

At whatever point we choose to start a process of a Financial Plan, we should as a matter of first importance sort out precisely where we are available, wh... [Show More] ere we need to be, and in particular how to arrive (bytestbankap, 2020) As we stroll on a strong solid establishment, we may not understand that the Smart Goal was carried out to accomplish the objective that solid adjusts into a strong mass. All together for that structure to be effective, a thoroughly examined science plan was planned and instrumented through the SMART Goal achievement. To make your objective S.M.A.R.T., it needs to adjust to the accompanying rules: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely (bytestbankap, 2020) When carrying out Smart Goals your brain should be clear and your reasoning cap should be on and prepared to investigate and accomplish the result (bytestbankap, 2020). Brilliant objectives give one method for joining discipline in the arranging cycle. I will set up a Financial Plan for a possibility named Alice utilizing the Smart Goals strategy to investigate her obligation to proportion spending plan toward her future funds. The S.M.A.R.T. planning model is a framework used for setting and organizational goals. Each letter refers to a different criterion. S: Specific: A specific goal that addresses as many descriptor questions as possible M: Measurable: What measurable factors determine a goal has been met A: Attainable: Possessing necessary skills to achieve goals [Show Less]
