The Davises pay the annual property tax of $1,825 on their lake house every January. On a whim, they sell the lake house to the Bennets to buy a Winnebago and travel the country. Closing is set for July 31, and the buyers own the day of closing (pay prorated expenses through the day of closing). Using the calendar year proration method (assume that it's not a Leap year), how much of the pre-paid property tax was the Davises' responsibility

Answer:

$1,055

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the pre-paid property tax was the Davises' responsibility is given below:

= $1,825 ÷ 365 days × 211 days

= $1,055

The 365 days represent total days in a year

The 211 days represent the days from Jan 1 to July 31

Hence, the pre-paid property tax was the Davises' responsibility is $1,055
