Answer
Answer: A
According to the Principle of Highest and
Best Use, there is an optimal amount of
land associated with a given use. Since the
grocery store is only utilizing one-third of
the three acres, the other acreage is
excess land. If current zoning permits, Mr.
Thrifty could subdivide the excess land to
complement the existing land use. He
could not, however, develop the excess
land into multifamily since the property is
zoned for commercial and not multifamily
Question
Excess Land
Answer
Answer: B Plottage
Plottage is the increase in value that result
from combining two or more lots under one
ownership to allow for a more profitable
highest and best use. If two lots are worth
more when combined than they are
separately, the added value is called the
plottage value.
(Whereas assemblage is the process of
combining two or more separate lots into a
single ownership.)
Question
Answer
Answer: D $933,333
Step 1: Land Value x Land Cap Rate = Land NOI
$600,000 x 10%
= $60,000 Land
NOI
Step 2: Total NOI - Land NOI = Building NOI
$100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000 Building NOI
Step 3: Building NOI / Building Cap Rate = Building Value
$40,000
/ 12%
= $333,333
Building Value
Step 4: Land Value + Building Value = Total Property
Value
$600,000 + $333,333
= $933,333
Question
Answer
Answer: A
The ratio 2:1 indicates a total of THREE
PARTS since 2 + 1 = 3. Therefore, twothirds of the propertys value is attributable
to the improvements and one-third of the
value is attributable to the land. One-third
of the total value of $300,000 is $100,000,
so the land is valued at $100,000.
Answer = B
$36,250,000
Explanation:
First find the amount of total sales before deductions
$300,000 x 250 lots = $75,000,000
Next calculate the total development costs
$80,000 x 250 lots = $20,000,000
Then find the cost of sales expenses, overhead and profit (25% of
sales)
$75,000,000 x 25% = $18,750,000
(you can also calculate it like this:)
300,000 x 25 % = $75,000 x 250 lots = $18,750,000
Now, the indicated value of the site can be found by taking the total
sales and subtracting Development costs and sales expenses,
overhead and profit
$75,000,000 - $20,000,000 - $18,750.000 = $36,250,000

Answer
Answer
Answer: A
In the cost approach, cost is related to value
by the formula:
Value = Replacement Cost New*
Depreciation of improvements + Land Value
* May be (but rarely is) substituted with
Reproduction Cost
In this formula, cost refers to cost of
reproducing or replacing the propertys
improvements. Depreciation is the difference
between cost and value, from any cause.

Answer: A
Although the house has a chronological age
of 22 years, its effective age is that of a 5
year old home due to its recent remodel.
Economic Life - Effective Age
= Remaining

- 5 years
= 55 years REL
Wynken, Blynken and Nod have listed their house for sale
on Crystal Light River Drive. They hired a plumber to fix a

Answer: C $50,000
REMEMBER: RTQ (Read the Question)!
Divide the effective age by the economic life to find
the accrued depreciation rate: 60 80 = 0.75.
Then multiply the accrued depreciation rate by the
replacement cost to find the accrued depreciation:
