Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Jackson will need to bring a check to closing in the amount of $14,470

Explanation:

The computation of the closing amount is shown below:

= Down payment + title insurance + recording fees + tax proportion fee - = earned money deposit

where,

Down payment = Purchase cost × remaining percentage (100% - 80%)

                         = $90,000 × 20%

                         = $18,000

The other values remain same

So, the value would equal to

= $18,000 + $250 + $60 + $430 - $4,000

= $14,470
