Answer 1

6. A budget is a financial plan that outlines expected income and expenses over a specific period, typically used to manage resources effectively, control spending, and allocate funds for various needs or goals.

a. You made a profit.

b. To determine whether you made a profit or a loss, you subtract the cost price (the amount you bought the wallet for) from the selling price (the amount you sold it for).

• Cost Price (CP) = N$180.00
• Selling Price (SP) = N$250.00

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
Profit = N$250.00 - N$180.00
Profit = N$70.00

Since the selling price is greater than the cost price, you made a profit of N$70.00.
