    D) $273,000

    Explanation:

    The VA's maximum guarantee for home purchases applicable for 2019 is $484,350, including additional benefits like no down payments and no private mortgage insurance.

    Since Sam already used 34.45% of his benefit during 2000, he can only use 65.55% of his available benefit now. In current values that would equal around $317,000 but I guess this question is using values applicable during 2018, which would result in a maximum guarantee of $417,000, and 65.55% of that would be $273,000.

    The amount of VA's loans increase year by year and also vary depending on certain states and counties.
