Viola has to relocate for her job. she finds a townhome with an option to rent or buy. the conditions of each are shown below. rent: move-in costs of $2,380 and monthly payment of $845. buy: move-in costs of $5,260 and monthly payment of $785. viola moves frequently due to her job, but she thinks that she will stay in the area for 4 years. therefore, she decided to buy. choose the best evaluation of viola’s decision.

I added a screenshot with the options


Since the costs would be the same over the 4 year period, she will have made a good decision if the property value does not decrease

Explanation:
1- Renting:
Move-in costs of $2,380 and monthly payment of $845
She will stay for 4 years.
This means that:
she will stay for 4 * 12 = 48 months
Total payment = Move-in costs + 48*monthly payments
Total payment = 2380 + 48(845)
Total payment = $42,940

2- Buying:
Move-in costs of $5,260 and monthly payment of $785.
She will stay for 4 years.
This means that:
she will stay for 4 * 12 = 48 months
Total payment = Move-in costs + 48*monthly payments
Total payment = 5260 + 48(785)
Total payment = $42,940

Therefore, we can note that since payment is the same in both cases, therefore, this is not an effective factor

Other factors that might have influenced her decisions include:
1- lower monthly payments
2- having an apartment of her own 
3- she can sell the apartment at a higher price later based on the market price

Comparing this with the options we have, we would find that the best one is the first one

Hope this helps :)

2/1 or just 2. sorry if i get this wrong
