Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving contract elements and state agency and disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 91)
Answer choices
- A. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- B. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- C. Identify offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, consent, and lawful objective in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
C. Identify offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, consent, and lawful objective in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because contract elements requires candidates to identify offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, consent, and lawful objective. The Indiana 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.
