User: One of the strategies for getting out of debt is using a zero-based budget. What exactly is a zero based budget and do you think it makes sense to use? Explain your answer.

Weegy: Zero-based budgeting is a technique of planning and decision-making which reverses the working process of traditional budgeting. [ In traditional incremental budgeting, departmental managers justify only increases over the previous year budget and what has been already spent is automatically sanctioned. No reference is made to the previous level of expenditure. By contrast, in zero-based budgeting, every department function is reviewed comprehensively and all expenditures must be approved, rather than only increases.[1] Zero-based budgeting requires the budget request be justified in complete detail by each division manager starting from the zero-base. The zero-base is indifferent to whether the total budget is increasing or decreasing. The term "zero-based budgeting" is sometimes used in personal finance to describe "zero-sum budgeting", the practice of budgeting every dollar of income received, and then adjusting some part of the budget downward for every other part that needs to be adjusted upward. Zero based budgeting also refers to the identification of a task or tasks and then funding resources to complete the task independent of current resourcing.-wikipedia I think it makes sense to use, here are its avdvantages Advantages of zero-based budgeting 1. Efficient allocation of resources, as it is based on needs and benefits. 2. Drives managers to find cost effective ways to improve operations. 3. Detects inflated budgets. 4. Useful for service departments where the output is difficult to identify. 5. Increases staff motivation by providing greater initiative and responsibility in decision-making. 6. Increases communication and coordination within the organization. 7. Identifies and eliminates wasteful and obsolete operations. 8. Identifies opportunities for outsourcing. 9. Forces cost centers to identify their mission and their relationship to overall goals. ]

what characteristics do home insurance have?
Weegy: Let’s be more specific about homeowners insurance and the different types of protection it can provide: Damage to House. Covers damages to the house itself up to the face amount of the policy. [ For example, if the face amount is $100,000, that’s the most you will receive if your house is totally destroyed, less any deductible. Other Structures. Covers damage to other structures or buildings, such as a detached garage, work shed or fencing. Personal Property. Covers damage to – or loss of – personal property. Personal property includes household contents and other belongings used, owned or worn by you and your family. Be aware that certain personal property items like jewelry, antiques and artwork may need special added coverage. Additional Living Expenses. Covers the necessary living expenses, up to the stated limit, incurred by the insured to continue, as nearly as possible, the normal standard of living when the house cannot be occupied due to a covered loss. Comprehensive Personal Liability. Protects you against claims arising from accidents to others on property that you own or rent. With a few exceptions, such as auto or boating accidents, it is an all-purpose liability coverage that follows you wherever you go. Medical Expenses. Covers medical expenses, but is limited to an amount per person and per accident for injuries occurring on your premises to persons other than an insured. It also may cover medical expenses away from your premises if caused by you, a member of your family, or your pets. ] (More)
