The purchaser is to assume Peyton's mortgage of $1,058,280 on the property. To enable the purchaser to obtain adequate financing, Peyton is to pay the $105,828 in points charged by the lender. The broker's commission on the sale is $70,552. What is Peyton's amount realized? The amount realized by Peyton is $ .

Answer 1

$2,645,700

Step-by-step explanation:

realized amount = cash received + assumed mortgage - points paid by seller - broker's commission = $1,763,800 + $1,058,280 - $105,828 - $70,552 = $2,645,700

The amount realized includes all the money received and any debts assumed by the buyer, minus any expenses paid by the seller that are related to the transaction.
