Using the information provided below, calculate the buyer's and seller's costs and credits as they would appear on the Closing Disclosure Form (CDF).

You may simply list the debits (charges) and credits (additions) to both buyer and seller and the total amount due to/from each. The goal is to come up with the amount the Buyer needs to bring to closing, and the amount the Seller would receive at closing.

Do your best to first determine which party is responsible for each item. Upon completion, upload your CDF showing the Buyer and Seller Costs to the Assignments area of the classroom.

When calculating these costs, the complications can occur when you figure the taxes and shared lender fees, etc. Just do your best and let me know if you have any questions. You can receive partial credit on this assignment even if your numbers are slightly incorrect.
