Comprehensive Case 7

How much cash and cash equivalents do the Singers actually have? Calculate and comment on their emergency fund ratio.

Elvis had leg surgery in January 2019 in a local hospital. He incurred $4,800 in expenses. The usual and customary charge for this procedure was $4,300. Adele had some sun spots removed from her face in November 2019, although her dermatologist told her it was unnecessary. She had to pay $400 for the procedure. How much is the total out of pocket medical cost for the family?

Elvis just slipped and fell, severely fracturing his arm. He is unable to work at all for four months (assume 30 days in each month). How much should he expect to receive from his long-term disability insurance? Assume Elvis is in a 28% marginal tax bracket, how much money, after taxes, will he receive over the four-month period? Note the premium on the personally-owned policy is paid with his after-tax dollars and the premium on the group policy is paid by his employer.
