Keisha is buying John's house. The closing date (day belongs to seller) of the sale transaction is September 1 (day 244 of the year). Existing hazard insurance of $350 has been paid by John through December 31. Use the 365-day method for prorating. What is Keisha's share of the existing hazard insurance already paid in full

Answer: $116.026

Explanation:

Given the following;

Yearly hazard insurance = $350

Keisha is the buyer and the closing date of transaction is September 1 of the year.

January 1 till September 1 = 244days

Now Keisha will have to credit John from September 2 till December 31st of that year

Therefore,

September 2 till December 31 = 365 - 244 = 121 days

Daily hazard insurance = $350 : 365 = $0.9589

Keisha's share = $0.9589 * 121 = $116.026
