Real Estate Math

A Wisconsin seller purchased a home for $175,000 and made $25,000 in improvements. The home sells for $240,000 with a 5% commission and $4,500 in other closing costs. What is the seller's net profit?

A$22,500
B$23,500✓ Correct
C$23,000
D$24,000

Explanation

Total cost basis = $175,000 + $25,000 = $200,000. Commission = $240,000 × 5% = $12,000. Net proceeds = $240,000 − $12,000 − $4,500 = $223,500. Profit = $223,500 − $200,000 = $23,500.
