  1. Q1.A home sells for $400,000 with a 6% total commission. If the commission is split 50/50 between listing and buyer sides, and the listing agent has a 70/30 broker split, how much does the listing agent receive?

    A.$8,400
    B.$12,000
    C.$24,000
    D.$16,800
    A$8,400

    Explanation: Total commission = $400,000 × 6% = $24,000. Listing side = $24,000 × 50% = $12,000. Agent's share at 70% = $12,000 × 70% = $8,400.

    D.$3,285
