    A. If the interest rate were 2.7%, the amount of the loan that Jade is considering would be more than $26,898.98

    Explanation:

    First the multiple option statements to complete the question ...

    A. If the interest rate were 2.7%, the amount of the loan that Jade is considering would be more than $26,898.98.

    B. If the interest rate were 2.5%, the amount of the loan that Jade is considering would be less than $26,898.98.

    C. If the interest rate were 2.3%, the amount of the loan that Jade is considering would be less than $26,898.98.

    D. If the interest rate were 3.1%, the amount of the loan that Jade is considering would be more than $26,898.98.

    To answer the question, we look at an extreme scenario of 0% interest rate and see the minimum repayment Jade will make on the loan taken

    Therefore,

    Interest Rate = 0%

    This means that the loan to be paid will be calculated as follows

    Monthly payments x 12 Months x 14 Years

    = $195 x 12 months x 14 years = $32, 760

    The meaning of this outcome is that the lower the interest rate to be paid, the higher the size of the loan, because at 2.9% the loan = $26,898.98 and at 0% rate the loan = $32, 760.

    The conclusion therefore is a 2.7% interest rate which is lower than 2.9% but not as low as the extreme 0% will cause the loan amount to be higher than $26,898.98. This affirms option A.

    Options B and C are wrong because 2.5% and 2.3% are lower than 2.9%, therefore, the loan amount will be higher. Option D is also wrong because a 3.1% interest rate is higher than 2.9%, therefore, the amount should be lower not higher than $26,898.98
