4 – Nancy and bILL Thompson are preparing their 2013 cash budget. Help the Thompsons reconcile the following differences, giving reasons to support your answers.
a – their only sources of income is Bill’s salary, which amounts to $5,000 a month before taxes, Nancy wants to show the $5,000 as their monthly income, whereas Bill argues that his take-home pay of $3,917 is the correct value to show.
b – Nancy wants to make a provision for fun money, an idea that Bill cannot understand. He asks, “Why do we need fun money when everything is provided for in the budget?”
