Total = $ 4,750 per month or $57.COO.I estimate is that about 1896 of m y income will go towards federal, state, and local taxes.Total amount taxes = $10,2602.Under what conditions might not having enough income t o cover expenses still work out allright in the longer run?If I ' m investing in a business that isn't profitable yet. I might be spending more than I ’ mearning.Student LoansIn this section, you must address the following questions:1.Assume that you're taking a student loan of $50,000 at an interest rate of 8%, and that y o uwill start paying that loan back in 4 years. Explain why it willalwaysbe the case that if yourloan is subsidized your loan payment will be lower than if your loan is unsubsidized,assuming that t h e interest rateinthe unsubsidized case is the same and that interestaccrues for the 4 years that youTe in school. (You re welcome, but not required, to providecalculations to support your explanation.)The key difference between subsidized and u nsubsidized loans lies in h o w Interest i shandled during the period o f non-payment I n a subsidized loan, the government pays theinterest that accrues during the period of non-payment. In contrast, with an unsubsidizedloan, the interest that accrues during the period of non-payment Is added t o the principalamount of the loan.2.N o w consider the case that t h e interest rate for the u nsubsidized loan may be lower thant h e interest rate for the subsidized loan.Explain why the loan payment amount f o r t h eunsubsidized loan may n o w end up being lower t h a n the loan payment amount for thesubsidized loan.(Again, you may w a n t t o provide some calculations t o support yourexplanation.)The loan payment amount is determined by several factors, including the principal amount,t h e interest rate, and the loan term. In general, a lower interest rate results in a lower loanpayment amount, all else being equal.
