A 4% commission is split equally between two brokers on a $843,000 sales
price. The sales agent on the listing side was paid 64% of the listing broker's
share. The buyer's agent was paid 23% of the buyer's broker's split. How
much did the buyer's agent receive?

B. $10,790.40
C. $33,720.00
D. $3,877.80 Right Ans - *D. $3,877.80*
The buyer's agent was paid 23% of the commission split. First, figure out what
the commission split is: The 4% commission is split evenly between the two
brokers, each broker earning 2% of the sales price: $843,000 x 0.02 = $16,860.
,Next, we are looking for the buyer's agent's split of the $16,860. To find that,
we multiply $16,860 by 0.23 to find out what 23% of that split commission is.
This yields our answer of $3,877.80.

Jan wants $10,000 in profit from the sale of her home. She has to pay off her

A property is under contract for $175,000 with a 10% down payment. Find
the cost of points for 2.5 discount points and a 1-point origination fee. (Hint:
Don't forget that the down payment will impact the amount of the loan
principal.)
A. $1,575.00
B. $5,512.50
C. $3,150.00
D. $6,125.00 Right Ans - *B. $5,512.50*
Oops! Looks like you used the sales price to calculate the cost of the points. To
find the cost of the points, we need to find the loan principal, which is
$175,000 minus the down payment amount. Find the down payment amount
by multiplying the purchase price by 10%: 0.1 x $175,000 = $17,500. Then,
subtract the down payment from the purchase price: $175,000 - $17,500 =
$157,500. Knowing that, we can find the cost of the points: 0.035 x $157,500 =
$5,512.50.
