not correct, they would have to be corrected before
proceeding. In the case of the overlooked appraisal fee,

all the parties agree to the solution.

worksheet as
A)
debit seller, credit buyer.
B)
debit seller, credit broker.
C)
debit seller and buyer equally, credit the broker the full
amount.
D)
debit seller, single entry because the broker will keep it. -
Answer-The answer is debit seller, credit broker. The
broker's fee is usually paid by the seller, thus debit seller,
credit broker. This would be true even in a new loan
closing because the broker's fee is not part of the new
loan.

charged to the seller. - Answer-The answer is charged to
the seller if they are paid off at closing. Special
assessment taxes have a special rule: if it is paid at
closing, debit seller, unless the buyer agrees to pay. If
buyer assumes the payment, this means the buyer has
taken over the payment agreement. The
charge/assessment amount will not show up at closing, so
it is not mentioned.
