Respuesta :

Answer:

For seller = $196.44

For buyer = $4583.56

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Taxes for the year = $4,780

Date of closing = January 16

since the day of closing belongs to the buyer therefore the seller owns the tax for 15 days only

Per day tax = [ Taxes for the year ] ÷ 365

= $4,780 ÷ 365

= $13.095 per day

Hence,

Proration will be

for seller = $13.095 per day × 15 days

= $196.44

For buyer = $4,780 - $196.44

= $4583.56
