B)$193,746
C)$387,492
D)$139,900

Answer:

C) $ 387,492

Explanation:

The sales price of the property is calculated as follows:

Amount of commission received by listing broker $ 12,593.50

Total commission rate 6.5 %

Commission rate of listing broker is divided equally so it is 6.5 %/ 2  = 3.25 %

The listing broker's commission rate at 3.25 % is $ 12,593.50

so the value of the property is $ 12,593.50/ 3.25*100 = $ 387,492
