MAT125 Southern New Monthly Expenses and Income Report
I have attached all rubrics and prompts and templates. Please use only info provided and use real math equations to solve and give explanation. This is for math tutors only. For the template, assume I am a single woman living in Allston, Boston. Use the location and salary in the examples for numbers. Use a reasonable number for monthly expenses, assume I have one credit card debt of $1500, one car loan of $20,000 at 6% APR for 60 month (you must figure out monthly payment and show math) and a student loan of $60,000. You can use template as prompt but you can also use excel spreadsheet.
Overview: Throughout this course, you will learn how to apply quantitative reasoning and problem-solving strategies to a variety of staged, but real-world contexts. You will build upon the skills you already had to advance the range of contexts to which you can apply mathematical thinking and problem-solving strategies effectively.
Your final project for this course will focus on real-world financial, statistical, and measurement-related contexts to assess your mastery of quantitative reasoning and problem solving in these areas. Specifically, you will be working your way through opportunities for employment, selecting the one that best fits your needs and wants, establishing a budget to manage your expenses, selecting the best options for managing debt, and planning for the future. You will then take the strategies you have learned in this course and apply them to your own selected problem or decision and walk your instructor through your process for solving the problem. For your problem, you can choose anything, such as deciding what credit card to get, determining how much and what type of insulation topurchase, or planning your garden, but you must run your selection by your instructor for approval.
Mastery of the skills and strategies covered in this course will help set the foundation for future coursework, future career opportunities, as well as problem solving and decision making in your personal life.
Prompt: Congratulations on graduating with your bachelor’s degree from Southern New Hampshire University! A new array of opportunities is open to you, but which will you choose, and how will it impact your life?

You can use your actual amounts of expenses and debt if you prefer, or, if you are uncomfortable using real numbers, or if you do not have any debt, you can make up a principal amount, interest rate, payoff period, and minimum payment to cover at least one student loan, one credit card, and one personal or auto loan. You can utilize as many loans as you like, but you must have at least three.
