Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": be highly skeptical of scientific assertions that rely on vague evidence.

Explanation:

<em>Analyzing scientific assertions that are not fact-proven allows identifying pseudoscience.</em>

Dakota: $166,294.24

Elle: $187,409.00

Explanation:

Mary Kate

First, calculate the future value of investment

Future value of Investment = Annuity payment x ( 1 + Interst rate )^numbers of years - 1 / Interst rate = $3,900 x ( 1 + 3% )^5 - 1 / 3% = $20,705.63

Amount affordable = Future value of investment / Rate of down payment = $20,705.63 / 20% = $103,528.15

Ashley

First, calculate the future value of investment

Future value of Investment = Annuity payment x ( 1 + Interst rate )^numbers of years - 1 / Interst rate = $4,900 x ( 1 + 5% )^5 - 1 / 5% = $27,075.59

Amount affordable = Future value of investment / Rate of down payment = $27,075.59 / 20% = $135,377.97

Dakota

First, calculate the future value of the investment

Future value of Investment = Annuity payment x ( 1 + Interst rate )^numbers of years - 1 / Interst rate = $5,900 x ( 1 + 6% )^5 - 1 / 6% = $33,258.85

Amount affordable = Future value of investment / Rate of down payment = $33,258.85 / 20% = $166,294.24

Elle

First, calculate the future value of the investment

Future value of Investment = Annuity payment x ( 1 + Interst rate )^numbers of years - 1 / Interst rate = $5,900 x ( 1 + 12% )^5 - 1 / 12% = $37,481.80

Amount affordable = Future value of investment / Rate of down payment = $37,481.80 / 20% = $187,409.00
