Answer:

a. $287,000

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the amount realized is shown below:-

Amount realized = Sale value consideration + Property taxes paid by the buyer - Commission - Legal fees

= $300,000 + $5,000 - $15,000 - $3,000

= $305,000 - $18,000

= $287,000

Therefore for computing the amount realized we simply above formula.
