Ashley's remaining available credit after her first purchase is $1025.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are told that the borrower with the lower credit score will be charged $50.00 fee after the first purchase

Therefore, we have

Credit score Andrea = 895

Credit score for Ashley = 768

Therefore, Ashley has the lower credit score hence after her first purchase of a $425.00 Coach bag, we have

Available credit = Initial balance - Purchase - Charges

∴ Available credit = $1,500.00 - ($425.00 + $50.00) = $1025.00

Therefore, Ashley's remaining available credit after she purchases the $425.00 Coach bag = $1025.00.
