commission = $4,240 ; A

- 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

4480

Step-by-step explanation:

Seller has sold the property within the lisitng period by themselves , it is in violation of the listing contract because within this period real state agent has the obligation to sell on behalf of the owner, ,should the owner decides to sell themselves in this listing period they would be oblidged to pay the agreed upon comission to the company .

here in this case 4% of 112,000 = 4480.

- 70
