Question
ben and his housemates signed a lease for an apartment for 12 months for $563 per month of which ben agreed to pay $215 per month. which of the following statements best gives the reasons that bens rent payment is an essential (fixed) expense? a. it cannot be eliminated in a later budget, in order to save money. b. living expenses have a higher priority than any other type of expense. c. the spender controls the amount of the rent by choice of apartment. d. he agreed to pay the same amount every month.
Un gasto esencial (fijo) es aquel que no varía y debe pagarse regularmente. Ben acordó pagar la misma cantidad de alquiler cada mes, lo que lo convierte en un gasto fijo. Las otras opciones no definen adecuadamente por qué es un gasto esencial (fijo). Opción a no es la mejor explicación porque aunque no se puede eliminar, la esencia del gasto fijo es la consistencia mensual. Opción b habla de prioridad general de gastos de vida, no de la naturaleza fija del gasto. Opción c se refiere a la decisión inicial de elegir el apartamento, no a la naturaleza fija del pago mensual.
