Kelly bought Mason’s home for $255,500. Mason had prepaid the annual property taxes of $2,650. If closing costs are calculated on a 365-day year, and the transaction closes on March 5, how much will Kelly owe Mason for property taxes? Carry numbers out four decimal places, but round to two decimal places for your final answer. The proration is calculated up to the day of closing, meaning that the buyer owns the day of closing. Be sure to include the last day of the year in your calculations.

Answer:

  $2192.60

Step-by-step explanation:

March 4 is day 63 of the year. So, the amount of tax that Kelly needs to refund to Mason is the tax for the remaining 365 -63 = 302 days of the year.

Kelly will owe Mason ...

  (302/365)($2650) = $2192.6027 ≈ $2192.60
