Option D is correct. The actual closing cost was lower than the estimate by 0.5%

Further Explanation:

Closing cost: when the home loan is taken, the closing cost is charged. It comprises of application fee, attorney fee, closing fee, courier fee, credit report fee, homeowner’s insurance, and lender’s title insurance. The closing costs form the part of loan estimate and closing disclosure.

Calculate whether the estimated closing cost is higher or lower than the actual closing cost:

Difference in closing cost as a percentage of home loans:

Difference in closing cost = Difference in closing stock  ÷ Home loan value

                                          = (1,468 ÷293,600) × 100  

                                          = 0.5%

Therefore, the actual closing cost was lower than the estimate by 0.5%

Working note:

Calculate the actual closing stock:

Actual closing costs = Home loan ÷ Rate of closing stock

                                 = $293,600 ÷ 0.0325

                                 = $9,542

Calculate the difference between actual and estimated stock:

Difference in closing stock = Estimated closing stock – Actual closing stock  

                                          = $11,010 - $9,542

                                          = $1,468
