Taxes on the property buyer alan is purchasing are $3,200 due on december 31. if the closing is set for october 15, using the 365-day method, how much of the taxes will be credited to the buyer? a) the seller's share of $2,533.38b) the buyer's share of $666.62c) the seller's share of $2,525.76d) the buyer's share of $674.24

C). The seller's share of $2,525.76

Explanation:

The 365-day assumes a total of 365 days in a year. So the number of days up to when the closing is set should be determined as shown;

Step 1: Determine total number of days up to October 15

Total days up to October 15=Number of days in January+number of days in February+number of days in March+number of days in April+number of days in May+number of days in June+number of days in July+number of days in August+number of days in September+number of days up to October 15

where;

number of days in January=31

number of days in February=28

number of days in March=31

number of days in April=30

number of days in May=31

number of days in June=30

number of days in July=31

number of days in August=31

number of days in September=30

number of days up to October 15=15

replacing;

Total days up to October 15=(31+28+31+30+31+30+31+31+30+15)=288 days

Step 2: Determine the amount of taxes that will be credited to the buyer

Sellers share=(number of days up to October 15/total number of days in a year)×Taxes due on December 31

where;

number of days up to October 15=288 days

total number of days in a year=365

Taxes due on December 31=$3,200

replacing;

Sellers share=(288/365)×3,200=2,524.93 which is approximately equal to 2,525.76

The seller's share of $2,525.76

where is the graph?
