Question 74

The amount of fee that remained with the listing brokerage is $8,775.

To determine how much of the fee remained with the listing brokerage, we first calculate the total commission based on the sale price of $325,000. The 6% commission amounts to $19,500. Since the listing broker pays 55% to the buyer's broker, this results in $10,725 going to the buyer's broker, leaving $8,775 with the listing brokerage.

A) 000 with a 6% sales commission as a fee. The listing broker paid 55% to the buyer's broker. How much of the fee remained with the listing brokerage?

This option accurately represents the question context and provides the necessary calculation detail. The total commission is calculated from the property sale price, and the fees allocated to the buyer's broker and the listing brokerage are clearly outlined, confirming that $8,775 remains with the listing brokerage.

B) $8,775

This option provides the correct amount that remains with the listing brokerage after the fees are distributed. However, it does not explain the calculation process or relate to the original question context, making it less effective as a standalone option.

C) $9,750

This option is incorrect as it miscalculates the remaining fee. The listing brokerage's portion after paying the buyer's broker cannot be $9,750 based on the correct commission calculations derived from the sale price.

D) $10,725

This option represents the amount paid to the buyer's broker, not the listing brokerage. Thus, it is incorrect and does not answer the question regarding the amount remaining with the listing brokerage.

E) $19,500

This option reflects the total commission earned from the sale but does not indicate how much remained with the listing brokerage after the distribution of fees. Therefore, it does not provide the correct answer to the specific question asked.

Conclusion

The correct answer is $8,775, which accurately reflects the amount that remained with the listing brokerage after paying the buyer's broker. All other options either misrepresent the figures or fail to address the specific question regarding the leftover fee after allocation. The calculations confirm the accuracy of the correct answer in relation to the commission structure provided.
