Which of the following would rot be listed under cash outlows in a financial plan? a. car payments b. insurance premiums c. interest earned d. mortgage payment Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

We begin by noting that a cash outflow in a financial plan refers to any expenditure or payment that decreases available funds. 1. A car payment is money paid to finance or lease a vehicle and is therefore a cash outflow. 2. An insurance premium is the payment made for an insurance policy, which is also a cash outflow. 3. A mortgage payment is the periodic payment on a home loan, and even though part of the payment reduces the principal, it still represents a cash outflow. 4. Interest earned represents income generated from investments or savings. Since it increases available funds, it is considered a cash inflow rather than an outflow. Since \( \text{interest earned (option C)} \) is a cash inflow, it is the only answer that would not be listed as a cash outflow. Thus, the best answer is: \( \boxed{C} \)
