Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Missouri Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving commingling and broker-salesperson supervision. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 30)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
- C. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- D. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
Correct Answer
B. Identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds in a way that fits Missouri exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because commingling requires candidates to identify improper mixing of client funds and broker funds. The Missouri 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.
