All Rights Reserved How Budgeting Fits Within Your Financial Plan (2 of 5) EXHIBIT 2.11 Application of Budgeting Concepts to Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan GOALS FOR A BUDGETING PLAN 1. Determine how I can increase my net cash flows in the near future. 2. Determine how I can increase my net cash flows in the distant future. ANALYSIS Present Situation: Cash Inflows = $2,500 per month Cash Outflows = $2,100 per month Net Cash Flows = $400 per month Estimated Savings per Year = $4,800 ($400 per month×12 months) Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Budgeting Fits Within Your Financial Plan (3 of 5) EXHIBIT 2.11 Application of Budgeting Concepts to Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan Increase Net Cash Flows by: Increasing my salary? (New job?) No. I like my job and have no plans to search for another job right now, even if it would pay a higher salary. Increasing my income provided by my investments? No. My investments are small at this point. I cannot rely on them to provide much income. Other? (If yes, explain.) No. Reduce Cash Outflows by: Reducing my household expenses? No. Reducing my recreation expenses? Yes (by $100 per month). Reducing my other expenses? No. Overall, I identified only one adjustment to my budget, which will increase monthly net cash flows by $100. Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Budgeting Fits Within Your Financial Plan (4 of 5) EXHIBIT 2.11 Application of Budgeting Concepts to Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan DECISIONS Decision to Increase Net Cash Flows in the Near Future: I initially established a budget to save $4,800 per year. During the next year, I can attempt to save an additional $100 per month by reducing the amount I spend on recreation. I can increase my savings if I reduce cash outflows. By reducing cash outflows by $100 per month, my savings will increase from $400 to $500 per month. The only way that I can reduce cash outflows at this point is to reduce the amount I spend for recreation purposes. Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Budgeting Fits Within Your Financial Plan (5 of 5) EXHIBIT 2.11 Application of Budgeting Concepts to Stephanie Spratt’s Financial Plan Decision to Increase Net Cash Flows in the Distant Future: My cash inflows will rise over time if my salary increases. If I can keep my cash outflows stable, my net cash flows (and therefore my savings) will increase. When I buy a new car or a home, my monthly cash outflows will increase as a result of the monthly loan payments. If I buy a new car or a home, I need to make sure that I limit my spending (and therefore limit the loan amount) so that I have sufficient cash inflows to cover the monthly loan payments along with my other typical monthly expenses. If I get married someday, my husband would contribute to the cash inflows, which would increase net cash flows. We would be able to save more money and may consider buying a home. If I marry, my goal will be to save even more money per month than I save now, to prepare for the possibility of raising a family in the future. Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
