Question

which of these would require a significant but temporary budget revision?
paying a recurring credit card bill
adopting a kitten from a shelter
replacing a broken dishwasher
purchasing a newly released movie

Explanation:

• Paying a recurring credit card bill is a regular expense, so no temporary budget revision is needed.
• Adopting a kitten has some initial costs, but replacing a broken dishwasher is a larger, unexpected, one - time (temporary in terms of the budget impact duration) expense that requires a significant budget adjustment as dishwashers are costly and the need is urgent and non - recurring.
• Purchasing a newly released movie is a small, discretionary expense.

Answer:

replacing a broken dishwasher
