Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] A brokerage firm mediates between a property owner (developer), who is the seller of an apartment, and a buyer (contractor) of the apartment. When concluding a sales contract for the apartment between the seller and the buyer, the buyer remits an earnest money to the brokerage firm, and the brokerage firm remits the remitted earnest money to the seller. The brokerage firm earns a profit from the sales brokerage fee during the sales mediation, but often determines between the sales company and the seller the conditions for whether the seller can be billed for the sales brokerage fee at the time of contract when the earnest money is small. When billing the seller for the sales brokerage fee at the time of contract, it is a great burden for the person in charge of the brokerage firm to calculate the fee while being familiar with such billing conditions.

[0005] In view of the above, the present invention has been made, and an object thereof is to provide a business support device, a business support method, and a program that can reduce the workload of an operator in the business of billing for the sales brokerage fee at the time of contract and enable efficient knowledge of the sales brokerage fee.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of a business support apparatus, a business support method, and a program according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited by this embodiment.

[0017] [1. Overview] A sales company that sells real estate acts as an intermediary between the business owner (developer), who is the seller of an apartment, and the buyer (contractor) of the apartment. When concluding a sales contract for an apartment between the seller and the buyer, the buyer remits a down payment to the sales company, and the sales company remits the remitted down payment to the seller. The sales company makes a profit from the sales commission for the sales intermediation. However, when the down payment is small, it is often determined between the sales company and the seller whether the sales company can bill the seller for the sales commission at the time of contract. For example, the billability is determined according to the following conditions (1) to (4). (1) The sales commission can be billed Regardless of whether a down payment is made, the sales commission can be charged at the time the sales contract is concluded. (2) If the down payment is less than X yen, a sales commission cannot be charged. For example, if the contract stipulates that a sales commission cannot be charged if the down payment is 1,000,000 yen or less, then if the down payment from the buyer is 500,000 yen, the sales commission cannot be charged even if the contract is concluded. (3) No sales commission exceeding the down payment can be charged. For example, if the sales commission at the time of contract is 1,500,000 yen, but the down payment received is 1,000,000 yen, then the sales commission can only be charged up to 1,000,000 yen. (4) No sales commission exceeding Y% of the down payment can be charged. For example, if there is a condition that sales commission cannot be charged exceeding 50% of the down payment, and the full sales commission is 1,500,000 yen, but the down payment received is 2,000,000 yen, then only 1,000,000 yen can be charged as sales commission.

[0018] When a sales company bills a seller for sales commissions at the time of contract, it is a significant burden for the sales company's representative to be familiar with the terms of such billing and to calculate the commission. Therefore, this embodiment provides a business support device, business support method, and program that can efficiently determine sales commissions while reducing the workload on the worker in the process of billing sales commissions at the time of contract. The specific configuration and operation will be described below.

[0019] [2. Structure] An example of the configuration of the business support device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the business support device 100 according to this embodiment.

As the memory unit 106, for example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, and optical disks can be used.

[0026] The memory unit 106 stores, for example, payment data 106aa, contract work 106ab, fee work 106ac, and billing data 106ad as data. Figure 2 shows an example of payment data 106aa, contract work 106ab, fee work 106ac, and billing data 106ad.

[0027] Furthermore, the memory unit 106 stores, for example, project master 106ba, area-specific price master 106bb, business owner master 106bc, fee setting master 106bd, contract master 106be, and fee billing conditions master 106bf as masters. Figure 3 shows an example of each master.

[0028] The deposit data 106aa shown in Figure 2 contains information related to the down payment sent from the buyer to the sales company. The deposit data 106aa includes information related to the down payment, such as project code, sub-number, contractor name, plot number, payment date, expense item, and payment amount.

[0029] The contract work 106ab shown in Figure 2 is data containing information related to a condominium sales contract. Contract work 106ab includes project code, sub-number, contractor name, plot number, tax-inclusive price, tax-exclusive price, land price, building price, and consumption tax information.

[0030] The commission worksheet 106ac shown in Figure 2 is data containing information related to the sales commission for condominiums and the conditions for billing the sales commission. Commission worksheet 106ac includes information such as project code, sub-number, contract name, plot number, small deposit billing condition category, small deposit billing amount condition, small deposit billing limit designation, small deposit comparison category, commission (total excluding tax), commission at contract (excluding tax), commission at contract after considering small deposit, and commission at handover (excluding tax).

[0031] The billing data 106ad shown in Figure 2 contains information related to the sales commission to be billed to the seller. Billing data 106ad includes information on SEQ, payee, project code, plot number, occurrence category, occurrence date, expense item, and billing amount.

[0032] The project master 106ba shown in Figure 3 is a master that stores information on condominium projects for which a sales company acts as a sales agent. The project master 106ba includes information on the project code, sub-number, and project name.

[0033] The plot-specific price master 106bb shown in Figure 3 is a master that stores information about the plots of condominiums sold by the sales company. The plot-specific price master 106bb includes project code, sub-number, plot number, tax-inclusive price, tax-exclusive price, land price, building price, and consumption tax information.

[0034] The business owner master 106bc shown in Figure 3 is a master that stores information about the business owners of condominiums sold by the sales company. The business owner master 106bc includes information on the business owner, ownership percentage, and management representative.

[0035] The commission setting master 106bd shown in Figure 3 is a master that stores information related to commission rates for the sale of condominiums. The commission setting master 106bd includes information on the project code, sub-number, commission rate at the time of contract, commission rate at the time of handover, and total sales commission rate.

[0036] The contract master 106be shown in Figure 3 is a master that stores information related to the buyer of the condominium. The contract master 106be includes information such as the project code, the name of the contractor, the lot number, and the contract date.

[0037] The commission billing conditions master 106bf shown in Figure 3 is a master that stores information regarding the billing conditions for sales commissions. The commission billing conditions master 106bf includes information on the project code, sub-number, small deposit billing condition category, small deposit billing amount condition, small deposit billing limit specification, and small deposit comparison category.

[0038] The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the business support device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as the OS, programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. Functionally, the control unit 102 comprises an acquisition unit 102a, a calculation unit 102b, and an output unit 102c.

[0039] The acquisition unit 102a, acting as an acquisition means, acquires information set by the input device 112 to the setting screen described later, as well as the input information, the payment amount stored in the payment data 106aa, and information related to the price of the real estate for which a sales contract has been concluded. The information acquired by the acquisition unit 102a is an example of the conditions agreed upon between the seller and the sales company from among several conditions that determine the sales commission paid by the seller to the sales company when a real estate sales contract is concluded. The payment amount stored in the payment data 106aa is the amount of the down payment made by the buyer to the sales company.

[0040] The calculation unit 102b, acting as a calculation means, calculates the sales commission at the time of contract based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit 102a, the payment amount, information related to the price of the real estate, and the commission setting master 106bd.

[0041] The output unit 102c, which serves as an output means, outputs the calculation result of the calculation unit 102b to the output device 114.

[0042] [3. Specific examples of processing] Here, specific examples of processes executed by the business support device 100 will be explained with reference to Figures 4 to 17.

[0043] (3-1) Example of processing when the conditions for charging a sales commission are met First, we will explain an example of processing when the conditions under which the sales company requests a sales commission at the time of contract are the conditions in (1) above, which state that the sales commission can be requested at the time the sales contract is concluded, regardless of whether or not a down payment has been made. Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the processing flow executed by the control unit 102. Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the setting screen 501 displayed on the monitor 114 when the sales company requests a sales commission from the seller after the down payment has been paid by the buyer to the sales company.

[0044] The operator operates the input device 112 to enter the project code of the condominium for which the sales contract has been concluded and the lot number of the condominium for which the buyer has concluded the sales contract on the setting screen 501. In addition, if the conditions for claiming the sales commission are as described in (1) above, the operator operates the input device 112 to select the radio button for the row "Sales commission can be claimed" on the setting screen 501.

[0045] After the operator operates the input device 112 to set the sales commission billing conditions on the setting screen 501, and then clicks the "Settings" button displayed on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the commission billing conditions master 106bf (step S11). At this point, the control unit 102 updates the small deposit billing condition category of the commission billing conditions master 106bf to "0: Always billable" as shown in Figure 3. The control unit 102 also updates the project code of the commission billing conditions master 106bf to the entered project code and updates other items to NULL.

[0046] Next, the control unit 102 creates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S12). At this point, each item in the contract work 106ab and each item in the fee work 106ac are NULL.

[0047] Next, the control unit 102 updates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S13). Here, the control unit 102 updates the project codes of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the project code "00001" entered on the setting screen 501. The control unit 102 updates the contractor names of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the contractor name "○× Taro" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be, and updates the parcel numbers of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the parcel number "101" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be. The control unit 102 also stores the tax-inclusive price, tax-exclusive price, land price, building price, and consumption tax of the records in the parcel-specific price master 106bb, which stores the pairs of project codes and parcel numbers entered on the setting screen 501, into the contract work 106ab. Furthermore, the control unit 102 updates the fee work 106ac with the small deposit billing condition category, small deposit billing amount condition, small deposit billing upper limit specification, and small deposit comparison category associated with the project code entered in the fee billing condition master 106bf. At this point, the contract work 106ab will be in the state shown in Figure 2, and the fee work 106ac will be in the state shown in Figure 6(a).

[0048] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the total sales commission to be billed by the sales company to the seller (step S14). Here, the control unit 102 calculates the amount "900,000" which is the sales commission rate (total) "3.0%" stored in the commission setting master 106bd from the tax-exclusive price "30,000,000" stored in the contract work 106ab. The control unit 102 stores the calculated amount as the commission (total tax-exclusive) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 6(b). If a fractional amount occurs in the processing of step S14, the control unit 102 performs rounding down, rounding to the nearest whole number, or rounding up according to the pre-set fractional part classification for commission calculation.

[0049] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the sales commission amount at the time of contract (step S15). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the commission (total excluding tax) "900,000" from the commission work 106ac, the contract commission rate "1.5%" and the sales commission rate (total) "3.0%" from the record storing the entered project code in the commission setting master 106bd, and calculates the contract commission (excluding tax) by performing the calculation: commission (total excluding tax) × contract commission rate / sales commission rate (total) = contract commission (excluding tax). The control unit 102 stores the calculated contract commission (excluding tax) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 6(c).

[0050] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the small deposit fee (step S16). Here, if the small deposit billing condition classification of the fee work 106ac is "0: Always billable", the control unit 102 stores the contract fee (excluding tax) "450,000" stored in the fee work 106ac as the contract fee amount of the fee work 106ac after considering the small deposit. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 6(d). Subsequently, the control unit 102 updates the contract fee (excluding tax) of the fee work 106ac with the contract fee amount of the fee work 106ac after considering the small deposit.

[0051] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the delivery fee amount (step S17). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total fee (excluding tax) "900,000" and the contract fee (excluding tax) "450,000" from the fee work 106ac, and calculates the delivery fee (excluding tax) by performing the calculation: Total fee (excluding tax) - Contract fee (excluding tax) = Delivery fee (excluding tax). The control unit 102 stores the calculated delivery fee (excluding tax) "450,000" in the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 6(e).

[0052] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the amount of commission to be charged to each developer of the condominium with which the buyer has entered into a sales contract (step S18). Here, the control unit 102 retrieves the developer from the record containing the project code entered in the developer master 106bc and stores the retrieved developer as the debtor in the billing data 106ad. The control unit 102 stores the entered project code and plot number in the billing data 106ad. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "at the time of contract" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 1 and "at the time of delivery" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 2. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores the date on which the processing in Figure 4 was performed as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 1 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "NULL" as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 2 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. The control unit 102 stores the contract fee (excluding tax) of fee work 106ac, "450,000", as the billing amount in the record where SEQ is 1 in the billing data 106ad, and stores the delivery fee (excluding tax) of fee work 106ac, "450,000", as the billing amount in the record where SEQ is 2 in the billing data 106ad. At this point, the billing data 106ad is in the state shown in Figure 2.

[0053] The control unit 102 displays the confirmed contract fee (excluding tax) and delivery fee (excluding tax) on the monitor 114. The contract fee (excluding tax) is an example of a contract sales fee, and the delivery fee (excluding tax) is an example of a delivery sales fee. This allows the operator to know the sales fee that can be charged when a sales contract is concluded. The sales company bills the buyer for the sales fee based on the billing data 106ad.

[0054] In this embodiment, the process in step S11 may be performed separately from the flow shown in Figure 4. In this case, when calculating the sales commission, the business support device 100 may display a screen on the monitor 114 for inputting the project code and the partition number, and execute the processes from step S12 onward based on the project code and partition number entered on the screen.

[0055] (3-2) Example of how to handle situations where a fee cannot be charged if the down payment is less than X yen. Next, we will explain an example of how to handle a situation where the sales company charges a sales commission at the time of contract, under the condition described in (2) above, that a sales commission cannot be charged if the down payment is X yen or less. Note that the buyer's contract name, the project code of the condominium for which the buyer has entered into a sales contract, and the lot number of the condominium for which the buyer has entered into a sales contract are the same as in the example above.

[0056] If the sales commission billing conditions are as described in (2) above, the operator operates the input device 112 and selects the radio button for the row "Sales commission cannot be charged if the down payment is X yen or less" on the settings screen 501. The operator also operates the input device 112 and enters the value of X on the settings screen 501.

[0057] After the operator operates the input device 112 to set the sales commission billing conditions on the setting screen 501, and then clicks the "Settings" button displayed on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the commission billing conditions master 106bf (step S11). Here, the control unit 102 updates the small deposit billing condition category in the commission billing conditions master 106bf to "1: Sales commission cannot be billed if the deposit is X yen or less" as shown in Figure 7. The control unit 102 also updates the project code in the commission billing conditions master 106bf to the entered project code, updates the small deposit billing amount condition to the entered value of X "1,000,000", and updates the small deposit billing upper limit specification and small deposit comparison category to NULL.

[0058] Next, the control unit 102 creates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S12). At this point, each item in the contract work 106ab and each item in the fee work 106ac are NULL.

[0059] Next, the control unit 102 updates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S13). Here, the control unit 102 updates the project codes of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the project code "00001" entered on the setting screen 501. The control unit 102 updates the contractor names of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the contractor name "○× Taro" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be, and updates the parcel numbers of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the parcel number "101" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be. The control unit 102 also stores the tax-inclusive price, tax-exclusive price, land price, building price, and consumption tax of the records in the parcel-specific price master 106bb, which stores the pairs of project codes and parcel numbers entered on the setting screen 501, into the contract work 106ab. Furthermore, the control unit 102 updates the fee work 106ac with the small deposit billing condition category, small deposit billing amount condition, small deposit billing upper limit specification, and small deposit comparison category associated with the project code entered in the fee billing condition master 106bf. At this point, the contract work 106ab will be in the state shown in Figure 2, and the fee work 106ac will be in the state shown in Figure 8(a).

[0060] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the total sales commission to be billed by the sales company to the seller (step S14). Here, the control unit 102 calculates the amount "900,000" which is the sales commission rate (total) "3.0%" stored in the commission setting master 106bd from the tax-exclusive price "30,000,000" stored in the contract work 106ab. The control unit 102 stores the calculated amount as the commission (total tax-exclusive) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 8(b).

[0061] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the sales commission amount at the time of contract (step S15). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total commission (excluding tax) "900,000" from the commission work 106ac, the contract commission rate "1.5%" and the total sales commission rate "3.0%" from the record storing the entered project code in the commission setting master 106bd, and calculates the contract commission (excluding tax) by calculating the total commission (excluding tax) × contract commission rate / total sales commission rate = contract commission (excluding tax). The control unit 102 stores the calculated contract commission (excluding tax) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 8(c).

[0062] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the small deposit fee (step S16). Here, if the small deposit billing condition category of the fee work 106ac is "1: If the deposit is X yen or less, the sales commission cannot be billed", the control unit 102 determines whether the deposit amount stored in the deposit data 106aa, which includes the entered project code, is less than or equal to the small deposit billing amount condition stored in the fee billing condition master 106bf. The control unit 102 determines that the deposit amount is "300,000", the small deposit billing amount condition is "1,000,000", and the deposit deposit amount is less than or equal to the small deposit billing amount condition, so it stores "0" as the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit for the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 8(d). Subsequently, the control unit 102 updates the contract fee (excluding tax) of the fee work 106ac with the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit for the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 8(e).

[0063] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the delivery fee amount (step S17). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total fee (excluding tax) "900,000" and the contract fee (excluding tax) "0" from the fee work 106ac, and calculates the delivery fee (excluding tax) as follows: Total fee (excluding tax) - Contract fee (excluding tax) = Delivery fee (excluding tax). The control unit 102 stores the calculated delivery fee (excluding tax) in the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 8(f).

[0064] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the amount of commission to be charged to each developer of the condominium with which the buyer has entered into a sales contract (step S18). Here, the control unit 102 retrieves the developer from the record containing the project code entered in the developer master 106bc and stores the retrieved developer as the debtor in the billing data 106ad. The control unit 102 stores the entered project code and plot number in the billing data 106ad. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "at the time of contract" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 1 and "at the time of delivery" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 2. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores the date on which the processing in Figure 4 was performed as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 1 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "NULL" as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 2 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. The control unit 102 stores the contract fee (excluding tax) of the fee work 106ac as the billing amount "0" in the record where SEQ is 1 in the billing data 106ad, and stores the delivery fee (excluding tax) of the fee work 106ac as the billing amount "900,000" in the record where SEQ is 2 in the billing data 106ad. At this point, the billing data 106ad is in the state shown in Figure 9. The control unit 102 displays the confirmed contract fee (excluding tax) and delivery fee (excluding tax) on the monitor 114. The sales company bills the buyer for sales commission based on the billing data 106ad.

[0065] (3-3) Example of how to handle situations where a fee exceeding the down payment cannot be charged. Next, we will explain an example of how to handle a situation where the sales company charges a sales commission at the time of contract, under the condition described in (3) above, that it cannot charge a sales commission exceeding the down payment. Note that the buyer's contract name, the project code of the condominium for which the buyer has entered into a sales contract, and the unit number of the condominium for which the buyer has entered into a sales contract are the same as in the example above.

[0066] If the sales commission billing conditions are as described in (3) above, the operator operates the input device 112 and selects the radio button for the row "Sales commission exceeding the down payment cannot be billed" on the settings screen 501. Alternatively, if the sales commission billing conditions are as described in (3) above, the operator operates the input device 112 and selects either the "excluding tax" or "including tax" radio button in the comparison row on the settings screen 501.

[0067] After the operator operates the input device 112 to set the sales commission billing conditions on the setting screen 501, and then clicks the "Settings" button displayed on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the commission billing conditions master 106bf (step S11). Here, the control unit 102 updates the small deposit billing condition category in the commission billing conditions master 106bf to "2: Sales commissions exceeding the deposit cannot be billed" as shown in Figure 10. The control unit 102 also updates the project code in the commission billing conditions master 106bf to the entered project code and updates the small deposit billing amount condition and the small deposit billing upper limit specification to NULL. Furthermore, if "excluding tax" is selected as the comparison target on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the small deposit comparison target category in the commission billing conditions master 106bf to "0: Excluding tax". Furthermore, if "Tax Included" is selected as the comparison target on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the item for the small deposit comparison target category in the fee billing conditions master 106bf to "1: Tax Included".

[0068] Next, the control unit 102 creates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S12). At this point, each item in the contract work 106ab and each item in the fee work 106ac are NULL.

[0069] Next, the control unit 102 updates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S13). Here, the control unit 102 updates the project codes of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the project code "00001" entered on the setting screen 501. The control unit 102 updates the contractor names of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the contractor name "○× Taro" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be, and updates the parcel numbers of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the parcel number "101" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be. The control unit 102 also stores the tax-inclusive price, tax-exclusive price, land price, building price, and consumption tax of the records in the parcel-specific price master 106bb, which stores the pairs of project codes and parcel numbers entered on the setting screen 501, into the contract work 106ab. Furthermore, the control unit 102 updates the fee work 106ac with the small deposit billing condition category, small deposit billing amount condition, small deposit billing upper limit specification, and small deposit comparison category associated with the project code entered in the fee billing condition master 106bf. At this point, the contract work 106ab will be in the state shown in Figure 2, and the fee work 106ac will be in the state shown in Figure 11(a).

[0070] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the total sales commission to be billed by the sales company to the seller (step S14). Here, the control unit 102 calculates the amount "900,000" which is the sales commission rate (total) "3.0%" stored in the commission setting master 106bd from the tax-exclusive price "30,000,000" stored in the contract work 106ab. The control unit 102 stores the calculated amount as the commission (total tax-exclusive) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 11(b).

[0071] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the sales commission amount at the time of contract (step S15). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total commission (excluding tax) "900,000" from the commission work 106ac, the contract commission rate "1.5%" and the total sales commission rate "3.0%" from the record storing the entered project code in the commission setting master 106bd, and calculates the contract commission (excluding tax) by calculating the total commission (excluding tax) × contract commission rate / total sales commission rate = contract commission (excluding tax). The control unit 102 stores the calculated contract commission (excluding tax) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 11(c).

[0072] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the small deposit fee (step S16). Here, the control unit 102 determines whether the deposit amount stored in the deposit data 106aa, which includes the entered project code, is less than or equal to the contract fee (excluding tax) stored in the fee work 106ac, if the small deposit billing condition category of the fee work 106ac is "2: No sales commission can be billed for amounts exceeding the deposit". The control unit 102 determines that the deposit amount is "300,000", the contract fee (excluding tax) is "450,000", and the deposit amount is less than or equal to the contract fee (excluding tax), so it stores "300,000" as the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit in the fee work 106ac. Furthermore, if "Tax Included" is selected as the comparison target in the setting screen 501 and the small deposit comparison target category in the fee billing condition master 106bf and fee work 106ac is "1: Tax Included", the control unit 102 determines whether the payment amount is less than or equal to the contract fee (excluding tax) + the tax amount of the contract fee. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 11(d). Subsequently, the control unit 102 updates the contract fee (excluding tax) of the fee work 106ac with the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 11(e).

[0073] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the delivery fee amount (step S17). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total fee (excluding tax) "900,000" and the contract fee (excluding tax) "300,000" from the fee work 106ac, and calculates the delivery fee (excluding tax) as follows: Total fee (excluding tax) - Contract fee (excluding tax) = Delivery fee (excluding tax), resulting in a delivery fee (excluding tax) of "600,000". The control unit 102 stores the calculated delivery fee (excluding tax) in the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 11(f).

[0074] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the amount of commission to be charged to each developer of the condominium with which the buyer has entered into a sales contract (step S18). Here, the control unit 102 retrieves the developer from the record containing the project code entered in the developer master 106bc and stores the retrieved developer as the debtor in the billing data 106ad. The control unit 102 stores the entered project code and plot number in the billing data 106ad. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "at the time of contract" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 1 and "at the time of delivery" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 2. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores the date on which the processing in Figure 4 was performed as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 1 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "NULL" as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 2 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. The control unit 102 stores the contract fee (excluding tax) of commission work 106ac, "300,000", as the billing amount in the record with SEQ 1 in the billing data 106ad, and stores the delivery fee (excluding tax) of commission work 106ac, "600,000", as the billing amount in the record with SEQ 2 in the billing data 106ad. At this point, the billing data 106ad is in the state shown in Figure 12. The control unit 102 displays the confirmed contract fee (excluding tax) and delivery fee (excluding tax) on the monitor 114. The sales company bills the buyer for sales commission based on the billing data 106ad.

[0075] (3-4) Example of how to handle situations where a fee exceeding Y% of the down payment cannot be charged. Next, we will explain an example of how to handle a situation where the sales company charges a sales commission at the time of contract, under the condition described in (4) above, that it cannot charge a sales commission exceeding Y% of the down payment. Note that the buyer's contract name, the project code of the condominium for which the buyer has entered into a sales contract, and the unit number of the condominium for which the buyer has entered into a sales contract are the same as in the example above.

[0076] If the sales commission billing conditions are as described in (4) above, the operator operates the input device 112 and selects the radio button for the row "Sales commission exceeding Y% of the down payment cannot be billed" on the settings screen 501. The operator also operates the input device 112 and enters the value of Y on the settings screen 501. In the following explanation, it is assumed that "50" is entered as the value of Y. Furthermore, if the sales commission billing conditions are as described in (4) above, the operator operates the input device 112 and selects either the "excluding tax" or "including tax" radio button in the comparison row on the settings screen 501.

[0077] After the operator operates the input device 112 to set the sales commission billing conditions on the setting screen 501, and then clicks the "Settings" button displayed on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the commission billing conditions master 106bf (step S11). Here, the control unit 102 updates the small deposit billing condition category of the commission billing conditions master 106bf to "3: Sales commissions exceeding Y% of the deposit cannot be billed" as shown in Figure 13. The control unit 102 also updates the project code of the commission billing conditions master 106bf to the entered project code, updates the small deposit billing amount condition to NULL, and updates the small deposit billing upper limit specification to "50%" based on the entered value of Y. Furthermore, if "excluding tax" is selected as the comparison target on the setting screen 501, the control unit 102 updates the small deposit comparison target category of the commission billing conditions master 106bf to "0: Excluding tax".

[0078] Next, the control unit 102 creates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S12). At this point, each item in the contract work 106ab and each item in the fee work 106ac are NULL.

[0079] Next, the control unit 102 updates the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac (step S13). Here, the control unit 102 updates the project codes of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the project code "00001" entered on the setting screen 501. The control unit 102 updates the contractor names of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the contractor name "○× Taro" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be, and updates the parcel numbers of the contract work 106ab and the fee work 106ac to the parcel number "101" associated with the project code entered on the setting screen 501 in the contract master 106be. The control unit 102 also stores the tax-inclusive price, tax-exclusive price, land price, building price, and consumption tax of the records in the parcel-specific price master 106bb, which stores the pairs of project codes and parcel numbers entered on the setting screen 501, into the contract work 106ab. Furthermore, the control unit 102 updates the fee work 106ac with the small deposit billing condition category, small deposit billing amount condition, small deposit billing upper limit specification, and small deposit comparison category associated with the project code entered in the fee billing condition master 106bf. At this point, the contract work 106ab will be in the state shown in Figure 2, and the fee work 106ac will be in the state shown in Figure 14(a).

[0080] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the total sales commission to be billed by the sales company to the seller (step S14). Here, the control unit 102 calculates the amount "900,000" which is the sales commission rate (total) "3.0%" stored in the commission setting master 106bd from the tax-exclusive price "30,000,000" stored in the contract work 106ab. The control unit 102 stores the calculated amount as the commission (total tax-exclusive) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 14(b).

[0081] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the sales commission amount at the time of contract (step S15). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total commission (excluding tax) "900,000" from the commission work 106ac, the contract commission rate "1.5%" and the total sales commission rate "3.0%" from the record storing the entered project code in the commission setting master 106bd, and calculates the contract commission (excluding tax) by performing the calculation: total commission (excluding tax) × contract commission rate / total sales commission rate = contract commission (excluding tax). The control unit 102 stores the calculated contract commission (excluding tax) in the commission work 106ac. At this point, the commission work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 14(c).

[0082] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the small deposit fee (step S16). Here, if the small deposit billing condition category of the fee work 106ac is "3: Sales commission exceeding Y% of the deposit cannot be billed", the control unit 102 determines whether the amount of the specified small deposit billing limit percentage of the deposit amount stored in the deposit data 106aa, which includes the entered project code, exceeds the contract fee (excluding tax). If the deposit amount is "300,000", the specified small deposit limit is "50%", and the amount of 50% of the deposit amount, "150,000", does not exceed the contract fee (excluding tax) of "450,000", the control unit 102 sets the calculated "150,000" as the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit and stores this "150,000" as the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit in the fee work 106ac. Furthermore, if the amount of the specified small deposit limit within the total deposit amount exceeds the contract fee (excluding tax), the control unit 102 stores the contract fee (excluding tax) as the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit in the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 14(d). Subsequently, the control unit 102 updates the contract fee (excluding tax) of the fee work 106ac with the contract fee amount after considering the small deposit. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 14(e).

[0083] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the delivery fee amount (step S17). Here, the control unit 102 obtains the total fee (excluding tax) "900,000" and the contract fee (excluding tax) "150,000" from the fee work 106ac, and calculates the delivery fee (excluding tax) as follows: Total fee (excluding tax) - Contract fee (excluding tax) = Delivery fee (excluding tax), resulting in a delivery fee (excluding tax) of "750,000". The control unit 102 stores the calculated delivery fee (excluding tax) in the fee work 106ac. At this point, the fee work 106ac is in the state shown in Figure 14(f).

[0084] Next, the control unit 102 calculates the amount of commission to be charged to each developer of the condominium with which the buyer has entered into a sales contract (step S18). Here, the control unit 102 retrieves the developer from the record containing the project code entered in the developer master 106bc and stores the retrieved developer as the debtor in the billing data 106ad. The control unit 102 stores the entered project code and plot number in the billing data 106ad. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "at the time of contract" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 1 and "at the time of delivery" as the occurrence category for the record with SEQ 2. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores the date on which the processing in Figure 4 was performed as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 1 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. In the billing data 106ad, the control unit 102 stores "NULL" as the occurrence date for the record with SEQ 2 and stores "sales commission" as the expense item. The control unit 102 stores the contract fee (excluding tax) of the commission work 106ac, "150,000", as the billing amount in the record where SEQ is 1 in the billing data 106ad, and stores the delivery fee (excluding tax) of the commission work 106ac, "750,000", as the billing amount in the record where SEQ is 2 in the billing data 106ad. At this point, the billing data 106ad is in the state shown in Figure 15. The control unit 102 displays the confirmed contract fee (excluding tax) and delivery fee (excluding tax) on the output device 114. The sales company bills the buyer for sales commission based on the billing data 106ad.

[0085] Furthermore, if there are multiple developers who are sellers of the condominium under the conditions of (4) above, the control unit 102 calculates the contract fee (excluding tax) and the handover fee (excluding tax) in step S18 based on the ownership ratio of each developer.

[0086] For example, if there are two business owners, Business Owner A and Business Owner B, who are sellers, and Business Owner Master 106bc is as shown in Figure 16, the control unit 102 will determine that Business Owner A's ownership ratio is "70%", so it will charge Business Owner A a contract fee (excluding tax) of "105,000", which is 70% of the contract fee (excluding tax) of the commission work 106ac, and Business Owner B's ownership ratio is "30%", so it will charge Business Owner B a contract fee (excluding tax) of "45,000", which is 30% of the contract fee (excluding tax) of the commission work 106ac, Furthermore, since business owner A's ownership ratio is "70%", the control unit 102 sets the delivery fee (excluding tax) to be billed to business owner A as "525,000", which is 70% of the delivery fee (excluding tax) of the commission work 106ac, and since business owner B's ownership ratio is "30%", the delivery fee (excluding tax) to be billed to business owner B as "225,000", which is 30% of the delivery fee (excluding tax) of the commission work 106ac, which is "750,000". As a result, the billing data 106ad is as shown in Figure 17. The control unit 102 displays the contract fee (excluding tax) and the delivery fee (excluding tax) stored in the billing data 106ad on the monitor 114. The sales commission billing from the sales company to the buyer is carried out based on the billing data 106ad shown in Figure 17. For example, the sales commission may be billed by generating an invoice based on billing data 106ad and sending the generated invoice to the seller, or by sending the invoice file to the seller.

[0087] [4. Effects of the Embodiment] The business support device 100 of this embodiment calculates the sales commission at the time of a condominium sales contract based on the conditions for claiming the sales commission, thereby reducing the burden on the operator in calculating the sales commission. Furthermore, the business support device 100 determines whether or not a sales commission can be claimed at the time of the contract, thus reducing the burden on the operator in determining whether or not a claim is possible. In addition, if there are multiple developers involved in the sale of the condominium, the business support device 100 calculates the sales commission at the time of the condominium sales contract for each developer, thus reducing the burden on the operator in calculating the sales commission for each developer.
