Answer 1

A: $138,099

B: $135,012

Explanation:

A: growth rate: (100+5)/100 = 1.05

125260 × 1.05² = 138,099.15

B: growth rate: (100+6)/100 = 1.06

120160 × 1.06² = 135,011.776

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

Take the original value times the appreciation and add the original value

Do this for each year

House A

year 1:

new value = 125260+ 125260* .05

=125260 +6263

=131523

year 2:

new value = 131523+131523* .05

131523+6576.15

138099.15

Nearest dollar 138099

House B

year 1:

new value = 120160+ 120160* .06

=120160 +7209.60

=127369.6

year 2:

new value = 127369.60+127369.6* .05

127369.60+7642.18

135011.78

Nearest dollar 135012
