Choose the correct option. R58, 075.00 as transfer duty and R200,000.00 as a penalty, totalling R258,075.00. R58, 075.00 as transfer duty and R20,000.00 as a penalty, totalling R78,075.00. R58, 075.00 as transfer duty and R240,000.00 as a penalty, totalling R298, 075.00. R58, 075.00 as transfer duty and R300,000.00 as a penalty, totalling R358, 075.00. None of the above
