For PI, any difference in terms of car quality?

Any idea about parallel import?

What to look out for?

Jackson bought some pears and gave half of them to Michael.
Micheael threw away 25 pears that were rotten while Jackson bought for himself another 20 apples.
After that, the number of pears to apples Michael had were in the ratio of 1:4 and the number of pears to apples Jackson had were in the ratio of 1:2.
How many pears did Jackson buy?

TIA.

Hi rosemummy,


Oh, so dont need to pay a cent for getting a private property. :shock: We r looking for a condo lately n my agent is going to charge us 1% if managed to get one.

Aiya, never get to own any private so dun know. Glad to find out now, can save a lot of $$$$.

Sorry, one more question to be sure. My agent will share $$$$ with the seller's agent rite?

Thanks.

Yes, that's correct. In a sense, the buyer is paying the commission as part of the price. But buyer don't have to pay any commission to the agent. The agent wiil co-broke with the seller's agent.

What I would suggest is for you to get some agents to source for properties for you. But don't let that stop you from looking at the Classifieds yourself. There're many properties available and your agent is unlikely going to be in contact with all the sellers or their agents. Seller's agents may also prefer to deal with direct buyers. There're also ads from sellers who do not want to deal with agents. If you're interested in the property, try to negotiate for a lower price ie sharing the commission saved between the 2 parties.

Another point you may wish to note is that tenants do not pay any commission to their agents if the rental is above a certain amount (I can't recall the exact figure - it's around $2,500pm). The agents have to co-broke, or the landlord agent has to get a tenant on their own. If you try renting out yourself, you'll have to pay the tenant's agent. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to get a good corporate lease without going through an agent.

Hi rosemummy,

Oh, so the selling $ of the house is inclusive of the commission for the agent. In another words, I die die still pay commission.

Thanks a lot.

For private, the buyer don't pay commission and seller agent can't be paid by buyer. But if they co-broke, they'll have to share the commission with the buyer's agent. So there's incentive for them to sell to their own direct client.


I believe the new guidelines would prohibit the agents for doing this?[/quote]

Hi Rosemummy,

:? Do u mean that for private property, buyer doesnt need to pay agent fee even the buyer has own agent? So both agents split the 1% commission?

If this is the case, seller's agent would control the selling or not selling the property- coz will wait for direct buyer.

Thanks.

Mrs Tan bought 4 times as many toy guns as teddy bears. She spent $1750 altogether. A toy gun cost $10 less than a teddy bears. The total cost of Toy guns was $490 more than the total cost of teddy bears.
i) how much did Mrs Tan spend on the teddy bears?
ii) how much did one teddy bear cost?

Thanks.

Hi

A quick answer.

Cost of Teddy bears ------ (1750 - 490) / 2 ------ 630

Cost of Toy guns ------ 1120


Toy guns ------ 4units

Teddy bears ------ 1unit

Cost of 1unit of Toy guns ------- 1120 / 4 ------ 280

Cost of 1unit of Teddy bears ------- 630

630 - 280 ------- 350

Difference in cost between 1 TG and 1 TB ------- 10

Number of Teddy Bears ------ 350/10 ------- 35

Cost per Teddy bear ------- 630 / 35 ------ 18

Best wishes

Tianzhu,

Thank u.
