- A.
10 times your annual salary
- B.
5 times your annual salary
- C.

This means that if you earn $50,000 per year, you should aim to purchase a home that costs no more than $125,000. This guideline helps ensure that you do not overextend yourself financially and allows for other expenses and savings.Rate this question:

Which of the following are NOT advantages of renting? (two answers)
- A.
Little or no responsibility for maintenance
- B.
Tax benefits
- C.
Easier to move
- D.
Increase in equity
Correct Answer(s)
B. Tax benefits
D. Increase in equityExplanation
Renting does not provide tax benefits or an increase in equity. Tax benefits are usually associated with homeownership, as homeowners can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from their income taxes. Renters do not have these deductions. Increase in equity is another advantage of homeownership, as the value of the property can appreciate over time, allowing homeowners to build wealth. Renters do not have the opportunity to build equity in the property they are renting.Rate this question:

10%
- B.
35%
- C.
70%
- D.

What two elements are most important when negotiating any purchase?
- A.
Time and information
- B.
Price and color
- C.
Seller's attitude and buyer's emotion
Correct Answer
A. Time and informationExplanation
When negotiating any purchase, time and information are the two most important elements. Time is crucial because it allows the buyer to thoroughly research and consider their options, as well as create a sense of urgency for the seller. Information is equally important as it enables the buyer to make informed decisions and negotiate effectively. Having access to relevant information about the product, market, and competitors gives the buyer an advantage in the negotiation process. By considering both time and information, the buyer can make confident and well-informed purchasing decisions.Rate this question:

In an interview, your prospective employer asks you what your current (or last) salary was. You should:
- A.
State the figure honestly, as they will probably verify it.
- B.
Never offer the figure, saying something like, "My salary is within industry range for my qualifications."
- C.
Try to gingerly change the subject
Correct Answer
B. Never offer the figure, saying something like, "My salary is within industry range for my qualifications."Explanation
When asked about your current or last salary, it is generally recommended to avoid disclosing the exact figure. By stating that your salary is within the industry range for your qualifications, you are providing a general response without revealing the specific amount. This approach allows you to maintain your privacy and negotiate a fair salary based on your skills and the value you bring to the company, rather than being limited by your previous earnings.Rate this question:

You're likely to negotiate a better price from a dealer when you offer "all cash" versus telling them you intend to finance the car.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Offering "all cash" does not necessarily guarantee that you will negotiate a better price from a dealer compared to telling them you intend to finance the car. While cash payments may have certain advantages, such as avoiding interest charges and potentially allowing for more negotiation power, dealers also have incentives to offer financing options. They may earn additional profits through financing deals or have partnerships with lenders. Therefore, the statement is not universally true, and negotiating a better price can depend on various factors such as the dealer's policies and the specific circumstances of the transaction.Rate this question:

A corporate "bond" is:
- A.
A share of ownership in a company
- B.
A debt obligation of a company
Correct Answer
B. A debt obligation of a companyExplanation
A corporate "bond" refers to a debt obligation of a company. It represents a loan made by investors to the company, which the company agrees to repay with periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity. Unlike shares of ownership, bonds do not confer ownership rights or voting privileges to the bondholders. Instead, bondholders are creditors of the company and have a claim on the company's assets in case of default. Therefore, the correct answer is that a corporate bond is a debt obligation of a company.Rate this question:

The correct answer is Stocks, bonds, money market. Stocks generally have the highest expected return among the three investment options due to their potential for higher growth and dividends. Bonds offer a lower expected return compared to stocks but are still considered to be a relatively safe investment. Money market investments typically have the lowest expected return as they are low-risk, short-term investments that offer lower yields compared to stocks and bonds.Rate this question:

You're lost in the woods, and it's starting to get very cold. The good news is that you remembered to bring pieces of flint and steel. Unfortunately, the wood you were able to gather is damp. You come across an old garbage dump with the following items. Which one are you really glad to find?
- A.
Electric coffee maker
- B.
Quart jar of sodium bicarbonate powder
- C.
Magnesium car wheel
- D.
4 tubes of toothpaste

The magnesium car wheel would be the most useful item to find in this situation because magnesium is highly flammable and can be used to start a fire. By scraping off small shavings of magnesium from the car wheel and igniting them with the flint and steel, you can create sparks that will catch onto the damp wood and help you start a fire to keep warm. The other items listed would not be as helpful in starting a fire in these conditions.Rate this question:

You're driving on a highway, and a tornado is bearing down on you. It's too close to escape. What's the best way to survive?
- A.
Seek shelter under a highway overpass
- B.
Find a (dry) low area, lie face down with your hands protecting the back of your head
- C.
Stay in your car, as you are protected from flying debris
Correct Answer
B. Find a (dry) low area, lie face down with your hands protecting the back of your headExplanation
Seeking shelter under a highway overpass is not the best way to survive a tornado. Overpasses can actually amplify the wind and create a wind tunnel effect, making it more dangerous. Staying in your car is also not recommended as it can easily be lifted and thrown by the tornado. The best way to survive is to find a low area, preferably dry, and lie face down with your hands protecting the back of your head. This position helps to minimize the risk of being hit by flying debris and increases the chances of survival.Rate this question:

In a hurricane, you're most likely to die from:
- A.
Flooding
- B.
High winds and flying debris
- C.
Starvation and/or dehydration
Correct Answer
A. FloodingExplanation
In a hurricane, flooding is the most likely cause of death. Hurricanes are often accompanied by heavy rainfall, leading to significant flooding in low-lying areas. This can result in swift and powerful currents that can sweep away individuals and vehicles. Additionally, flooding can damage infrastructure, making it difficult for emergency services to reach those in need. High winds and flying debris can also be dangerous during a hurricane, but flooding poses a more immediate and widespread threat to life. Starvation and dehydration may become concerns in the aftermath of a hurricane if access to food and clean water is limited, but they are not the primary cause of death during the storm itself.Rate this question:

- B.
Benadryl
- C.
