Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Arizona Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving closing statement and desert-region water and environmental awareness. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 107)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. Distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
C. Distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement in a way that fits Arizona exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because closing statement requires candidates to distinguish buyer and seller debits and credits at settlement. The Arizona reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
