True or false: If the Discipline Panel decides that a dealer or salesperson broke the Code of Ethics, they can order the dealer or salesperson to pay a fine of up to $10,000.

  1. False

  2. True

  3. Not specified

  4. Varies by offense

The correct answer is: False

The correct answer is A because the Discipline Panel can only order the dealer or salesperson to pay a fine of up to $5,000, not $10,000. This is specified in the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, which sets the maximum fine at $5,000. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect this specific limitation on the fine amount. Option B is false because the $10,000 limit is not specified in the Act. Option C is incorrect because the Act clearly sets the maximum fine at $5,000. Option D is incorrect because while the maximum fine may vary for different offenses, the specific limit of $5,000 is still stated in the Act.
