    A. $727 DS, CB

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Calculate the Monthly rate=

    $1,700 : 12 = $141.67

    Step 2: Calculate the Daily rate = Monthly rate : 12

    = $141.67 : 30 = $4.72

    Since the closing took place on June 4th, it means the seller owes 5 months (January - May) and 4 days (1st-4th of June)

    Hence, the seller owes the following based on steps 1 and 2

    5 Months = $141.67 x 5 = $708.35

    4 day = $4.72 x 4 = $18.88

    Total Amount = $708.35 + $18.88 = $727.23 Approximately $727.

    The treatement therefore is to Debit the Seller (DS) and Credit the Buyer (CB) with $727
