Sagot :

To appropriately attribute Devon's financial goals to the SMART criteria elements (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound), you can break down each financial goal and relate it to the corresponding goals in the table.

1. Reduce his credit card debt: The table provides "Reduce credit card debt by 10%," which is specific ('reduce by 10%') and timely (it implies a time frame to achieve the goal).

2. Start a retirement plan: The table provides "Open a [tex]$401(k) retirement plan next week," which is timely ('next week') and measurable ('open a $[/tex]401(k) retirement plan,' which can be measured as done or not done).

3. Save for a down payment on a house: The table provides "Save [tex]$30,000 for a down payment on a house," which is timely (a specific amount of money needs to be saved, implying a time frame to achieve it) and measurable (the goal amount is specified as $[/tex]30,000).

Thus, the correct text in the table has been applied as follows:

1. Reduce credit card debt by 10%. & specific, timely
2. Open a [tex]$401(k) retirement plan next week. & timely, measurable 3. Save $[/tex]30,000 for a down payment on a house. & timely, measurable
