Kaila Bruce · Answer 1

commission = $4,240; A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Property listed value = $112,000

- The listing period value = $106,000

- Commission = 4%

Find:

How much commission, if any, would Lucky Nines Real Estate Company be entitled to at closing?

Solution:

- We need to know that the commission is gained on the sold value of listing period not the listed value originally. Hence, the amount of commission paid is:

commission = Rate*listing period value

commission = 0.04*$106,000

commission = $4,240
