QUIZ on TUESDAY!
Due Tuesday, Sept. 4 – Study for your Lab Skills Quiz today
Due Friday, Sept. 7 – Million Dollar Project due:
Homework: If You Had A Million Dollars Due: _Friday, September 7_
Congratulations!!! You’ve just made your first million dollars. Unfortunately, there’s a catch. You must spend the money in only a week. Luckily, you’ve got expensive tastes and have been looking at houses, cars, boats, electronics, etc. Also, you’re currently living in a place with no sales tax, so you don’t have to calculate it into your prices.
Rules:
- You must buy at least 10 items.
- No item can cost more than $500,000.
- You may not buy more than two cars (remember if you buy a car, you’ll need to insure it so save some money for that and look up how much insurance costs for a teenager).
- You may not give away more than $20,000 to charities, family, etc. (I appreciate your generosity, but the goal of this project is to see how big a million is and if you give it all away, you can’t see that)
- You must cite sources to show that your amounts are realistic (ex. Price for Honda Civic taken from Honda website, or attach the advertised price you’re using).
- You must spend within $1000 of a million, that is minimum of $999,000 spent, maximum of $1,000,000
1. a table listing all items purchased with prices and sources
2. at least one written page about why you bought what you did and what you learned from this project. Was it easy to spend a million dollars?
