Evaluating and Adjusting a Budget — Quiz

Question 17 • Advanced Financial Algebra

If a budget does not account for irregular but necessary expenses, like yearly car registration fees, what might happen?

Answer
A
Debt could increase when these expenses occur.
B
The emergency fund will automatically increase.
C
There will always be enough money left over for savings.
D
There will never be a shortage of money.

Explanation

If a budget leaves out necessary expenses that come up only occasionally, the money may not be set aside when they are due. The person may need to borrow or use credit to pay the yearly car registration fee, so debt could increase. The correct choice is “Debt could increase when these expenses occur.”
