Question 7 • (Kapuschinsky)WCA 3424 Consumer Applications 1st nine weeks 26-27

Peggy needs to pay car insurance 2 times every year. She has divided the payment by 6 and saves that amount each month. Which account below is the best account in which to save this money?

Answer
A
401-K retirement fund with matching deposits from Peggy’s employer.
B
A checking account, or a savings account for other expenses (predictable), and emergencies.
C
A savings account for college tuition.
D
Coin jar.

Explanation

Car insurance is a predictable expense that Peggy pays twice a year. By saving one-sixth of each payment every month, she sets aside money for an upcoming bill, so it belongs in an account for predictable expenses. A checking or savings account for other expenses is the best choice; retirement and college accounts have different purposes, and a coin jar is less suitable for safely holding the money.
