Answer:

The seller will owes the buyer the amount of $450

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given, in a situation where a seller collected the amount of $900 as rent from the buyer which will be payable in advance which means that in a situation where the closing date is an expense to the seller the seller will owes the buyer the amount of $450 calculated as :

Collected amount $900/30 day month

=$30

And since we were told that the closing date is August 15 (15 days) which means that we have to multiply the amount of $30 by the numbers of days which is 15 days in order for us to know how much the seller will owes the buyer calculated as

$30x15 days

=$450

Therefore the seller will owes the buyer the amount of $450
