Solution

The proceeds from the sale of the holiday home would be calculated by taking the selling price and subtracting any costs associated with the sale. In this case, the selling price is R7,000,000. The costs associated with the sale are the estate agent commission of R700,000 and the repayment to the purchaser of R2,200,000.

So, the calculation would be as follows:

R7,000,000 (selling price) - R700,000 (estate agent commission) - R2,200,000 (repayment to purchaser) = R4,100,000

Therefore, none of the options provided (a.R6 300 000, b.R4 800 000, c.R2 200 000, d.R7 000 000) are correct. The proceeds would be R4,100,000.
