Correct Answer
A. CHARGES IMPOSED BY A LENDER TO INCREASE THE INTEREST YIELD ON A MORTGAGE

Explanation
Discount points are charges imposed by a lender to increase the interest yield on a mortgage. These points are essentially prepaid interest that borrowers can choose to pay upfront in exchange for a lower interest rate on their mortgage. Each discount point typically costs 1% of the total loan amount and can lower the interest rate by a certain percentage, usually 0.25%. By paying discount points, borrowers can reduce their monthly mortgage payments and save money in the long run.

- B.

  $1,404.67
Correct Answer
D. $1,404.67

Explanation
The salesperson earns 2/3 of a 7% commission on a sale of 14 acres at $2,150 per acre. To calculate the commission, we first find the total sale amount by multiplying the number of acres (14) by the price per acre ($2,150), which equals $30,100. Then, we calculate the commission by multiplying the total sale amount by the commission rate (7%), which equals $2,107. Finally, we find 2/3 of the commission by multiplying the commission amount by 2/3, which equals $1,404.67. Therefore, the commission would be $1,404.67.

- D.
  
  NEITHER BROKER NOR SECRETARY ARE IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER 475, F.S.
Correct Answer
B. ONLY BROKER IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER 475, F.S.

Explanation
The correct answer is that only the broker is in violation of Chapter 475, F.S. This is because the broker is employing an unlicensed secretary who is referring prospects to the broker and receiving a bonus for each referral. According to Chapter 475, F.S., it is illegal for anyone to engage in real estate brokerage activities without a valid license, and the secretary's actions can be considered as engaging in brokerage activities. Therefore, the broker, who is responsible for ensuring that all employees are properly licensed, is in violation of the law.

Explanation
The correct answer is that the city has the authority to proceed through the right of eminent domain. Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use, as long as just compensation is provided to the property owner. In this case, the city plans to take the homeowner's property to build a public library, which qualifies as a public use. Therefore, the city has the authority to proceed with the seizure of the property through the right of eminent domain.

OWNER HAS A $30,000 MORTGAGE ON HIS HOUSE FOR A TERM OF 30 YEARS AT AN ANNUAL INTEREST RATE OF 8.5%. THE MONTHLY PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENT IS $230.67. CALCULATE THE PRINCIPAL PAID ON THE SECOND MONTH'S PAYMENT
- A.
  
  $36.34
- B.
  
  $18.30
- C.
  
  $18.00
- D.
  
  $18.17
Correct Answer
B. $18.30

Explanation
The principal paid on the second month's payment can be calculated by subtracting the interest paid from the total monthly payment. Since the monthly payment is $230.67 and the annual interest rate is 8.5%, the monthly interest can be calculated as (8.5% / 12) * $30,000 = $212.50. Therefore, the principal paid on the second month's payment is $230.67 - $212.50 = $18.17.
