Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert all income and expenses to their monthly equivalents
  • Weekly expenses are multiplied by 4 to convert to monthly equivalents.
  • Semiannual expenses are divided by 6, and annual expenses are divided by 12 to convert to monthly equivalents.
Step 2: Calculate total monthly income: $2500
Step 3: Calculate total monthly expenses: $2515
Step 4: Subtract total monthly expenses from total monthly income to find the net monthly cash flow.

Final Answer: The net monthly cash flow is $-15.
