Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving conversion and affiliate broker supervision. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 85)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize unauthorized use of client money as serious misconduct in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
- B. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- C. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- D. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize unauthorized use of client money as serious misconduct in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because conversion requires candidates to recognize unauthorized use of client money as serious misconduct. The Tennessee 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.
