Your gross income is $4,520.00/month. your deductions are fica (7.65%), federal tax withholding (11.75%), and state tax withholding (8.5%). your fixed expenses are 30% of your realized income. you saved 5 months' worth in an emergency fund, placing 75% in a 60-day cd at a 5.25% apr and the rest in a regular savings account at a 3.8% apr. how much is in the savings account? $1,777.10 $1,969.55 $1,222.10 $1,315.07
