Income and expense statement

Stan and Julie Wallace have been married for over two years. They have been trying to save for a down payment on a house, but they feel that there is never anything left over to save. They talked with their parents who suggested that they prepare an income and expense statement.

Stan and Julie put together the following worksheet.

	Worksheet
Car payment	$ 315	Savings account interest	$ 16
Stan’s commission	2,813	School loan	113
Commuter train pass (year)	2,256	Taxes
IBM dividend	68	Stan	3,375
Renter’s Insurance (year)	225	Julie	3,206
Central Maine Power bill	75	Wages & salaries
T-Mobile bill	71	Stan	18,750
Rent	375	Julie	17,813

The following is some additional information.

•	For income items, they knew yearly amounts. For expenses, in some cases they knew the annual amount (for example, Julie’s monthly commuter train pass). They listed those amounts and noted them as such.
•	Unfortunately, for other expenses, they provided last month’s payment, stating that the amount didn’t change much from month to month.
•	Based on their employer-provided health insurance, they incur a copay of $15 per visit. They estimated that they saw the doctor (combined) 3 times during the year.
•	Julie estimated that she spends about $150 a month on clothing and $150 a month on groceries.
•	They went on a Norwegian Cruise trip that cost $1,975. They took an additional $500 in spending money. That was their only vacation.

Prepare an annual income and expense statement for the Wallaces as of December 31. Round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar, and do not include an item in another category if a category already exists for it. If an item does not require a balance, be sure to insert a zero to avoid a loss of credit for the particular item.
