Answer 1

Answer:

$2,466,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Cash Received = $1,600,000

Mortgage assume by purchaser = $950,000

Broker's commission = $75,000

points paid by seller = $9,000

Peyton's amount realized:

= Cash Received + Mortgage assume by purchaser - broker's commission - points paid by seller

= $1,600,000 + $950,000 - $75,000 - $9,000

= $2,466,000

Therefore, the amount realized by Peyton is $2,466,000.
