A supplied payment schedule and a separate pledge
A hypothetical agreement in a teaching file states a premium of 900 dollars, with payments of 300, 200 and 200 dollars already received. A separate receipt records 2,500 dollars of collateral. For the exercise only, assume that a later 400 dollar deduction from that collateral is lawful, expressly authorized and adequately documented. These numbers are supplied contractual assumptions, not a statement of Colorado’s legal premium rate or a blanket permission to deduct a charge. The payer and indemnitor are different people, and the file contains separate signed documents identifying their roles. A trainee adds all the money into sales revenue and tells the family the undertaking amount has decreased by the premium payments. The reviewer must separate the balances and correct the explanation without altering court records.
1. Calculate the two supplied balances.

The remaining premium balance is 900 minus 300 minus 200 minus 200, or 200 dollars. Under the expressly supplied lawful-deduction assumption, the collateral remainder is 2,500 minus 400, or 2,100 dollars. They belong in separate records.
2. What is wrong with the trainee’s explanation?
Read the worked answer
Collateral is not automatically earned sales income, and private premium payments do not themselves change the judicial undertaking. Explain the actual roles, agreements, receipts and lawful disposition separately.
