Case 4 Analysis

Q Analyze the following Case in this week's Module, Cases are short and intended to highlight a few key concepts from our Module. • This is a graded assignment. • Your answer must be responsive to the question asked to receive full points, see Rubric. • Your answer must be 200 words or more, you must provide a word count at the end of your answer. June Xu is a registered nurse who earns $3,250 per month after taxes. She has been reviewing her savings strategies and current banking arrangements to determine if she should make any changes. June has a regular checking account that charges her a flat fee per month, writes an average of 18 checks a month, and carries an average balance of $795 (although it has fallen below $750 during 3 months of the past year). Her only other account is a money market deposit account with a balance of $4,250. She tries to make regular monthly deposits of $50–$100 into her money market account but has done so only about every other month. Of the many checking accounts June’s bank offers, here are the three that best suit her needs. • Regular checking, per-item plan: Service charge of $3 per month plus 35 cents per check. • Regular checking, flat-fee plan (the one June currently has): Monthly fee of $7 regardless of how many checks written. With either of these regular checking accounts, she can avoid any charges by keeping a minimum daily balance of $750. • Interest checking: Monthly service charge of $7; interest of 3 percent, compounded daily. With a minimum balance of $1,500, the monthly charge is waived. June’s bank also offers CDs for a minimum deposit of $500; the current annual interest rates are 3.5 percent for 6 months, 3.75 percent for 1 year, and 4 percent for 2 years. What other advice would you give June about her checking account and savings strategy?
