Real Estate Math
A Maine home sells for $450,000. The buyers put down $90,000 and finance the rest. The mortgage recording fee is $30 per $1,000 of the loan amount (hypothetical). The fee is:
A$10,800✓ Correct
B$12,000
C$13,500
D$27,000
Explanation
Loan = $450,000 − $90,000 = $360,000. Fee = ($360,000 ÷ $1,000) × $30 = 360 × $30 = $10,800.
