Question 1 · Sales Comparison

A comparable sold for $350,000 and has a fireplace the subject property lacks. If a fireplace is worth $8,000, what is the adjusted sale price of the comparable?

  1. A$342,000
  2. B$350,000
  3. C$358,000
  4. D$362,000
Show answer ↓

Correct answer: A$342,000

The comp is better than the subject (it has a fireplace the subject lacks). Subtract from the comp: $350,000 − $8,000 = $342,000. Rule: 'Adjust the comp, not the subject.'

Question 2 · Cost Approach

Which appraisal approach is most appropriate for appraising a church?

  1. ASales comparison approach
  2. BIncome approach
  3. CCost approach
  4. DGross rent multiplier method
Show answer ↓

Correct answer: CCost approach

The cost approach is best for special-use properties like churches, schools, and government buildings because there are few comparable sales and these properties are not typically income-producing.

Question 3 · Income Approach

A property has an annual NOI of $60,000 and a capitalization rate of 8%. What is the estimated value?

  1. A$480,000
  2. B$600,000
  3. C$750,000
  4. D$960,000
Show answer ↓

Correct answer: C$750,000

Value = NOI ÷ Cap Rate = $60,000 ÷ 0.08 = $750,000. This is the fundamental income approach formula — know it cold.
