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
