The adjusted indications support a value of $307,400. How should the final opinion be expressed?

Correct Answer

B) $307,000, rounded to reflect the precision the data supports

Why this is correct: rounding states the conclusion at the precision the evidence actually carries, and adjustments estimated to the nearest thousand cannot support a figure to the hundred. Why the other choices are wrong: reporting $307,400 or a figure to the cent claims a precision no adjustment in the grid possessed; rounding to $300,000 discards information the data does support.

Answer Options
A
$300,000, rounded to the nearest hundred thousand
B
$307,000, rounded to reflect the precision the data supports
C
Exactly $307,400, since that is what the arithmetic produced and nothing else
D
$307,437.52, carried to the cent

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Why this is correct: rounding states the conclusion at the precision the evidence actually carries, and adjustments estimated to the nearest thousand cannot support a figure to the hundred. Why the other choices are wrong: reporting $307,400 or a figure to the cent claims a precision no adjustment in the grid possessed; rounding to $300,000 discards information the data does support.
