Answer:

Possible that Ashlee earned less than $27,990, which is the price of the convertible.

her conclusion is not logical, she over estimated her earnings

Explanation:

Hey!!!, there isn't any drop down box in the question, but we can do something with the information presented

Firstly, let us solve for the total amount that Ashlee earned for the year

given that she earned $14 per hour

and she worked 1944 hours

Earnings= 14*1944= $27,216

So Ashlee's earnings is very close to the $28,000, and also the price of the convertible $27,990, this means that she cannot afford the Convertible.
