The higher money factor with Bob’s Auto will give Jennifer the lowest monthly payment.
D
The higher money factor with AAA Auto will give Jennifer the lowest monthly payment.

Explanation

A lower money factor generally means a lower finance charge in a car lease, which reduces the monthly payment when the other terms are the same. AAA Auto’s money factor is 0.00313, lower than Bob’s Auto’s 0.00344. Therefore, AAA Auto’s lower money factor will give Jennifer the lowest monthly payment.
