Chapter 8

Suppose that examination of a pro forma reveals that the fifth-year net operating income (NOI) for an income-producing property that you are analyzing is $138,446 (you can assume that this cash flow occurs at the end of the year). If you estimate the projected rental growth rate for the property to be 5% per year, determine the projected sale price of the property at the end of year 5 if the going-out capitalization rate is 9%.

Using the following information, determine the net operating income (NOI) for the first year of operations of the subject property assuming "below-line" treatment of capital expenditures. Number of apartments: 15 Market rent per month: 1000 Vacancy and collection losses: 10% of PGI Operating Expenses: 5% of EGI Capital Expenditures: 10% of EGI

$153,900

Operating expenses can be divided into two categories: variable and fixed expenses. Which of the following best exemplifies a fixed expense?

local property taxes

When using discounted cash flow analysis for valuation, an appraiser will prepare a cash flow forecast, often referred to as a

pro forma

Suppose that you are attempting to value an income-producing property using the direct capitalization approach. Using data from comparable properties, you have determined the overall capitalization rate to be 11.44%. If the projected first-year net operating income (NOI) for the subject property is $44,500, what is the indicated value of the subject using direct capitalization?

$388,986

Suppose that an income-producing property is expected to yield cash flows for the owner of $10,000 in each of the next five years, with cash flows being received at the end of each period. If the opportunity cost of investment is 12% annually and the property can be sold for $100,000 at the end of the fifth year, determine the value of the property today.

$92,790.45

Given the following information, calculate the effective gross income multiplier: sale price: $2,500,000; effective gross income: $340,000; operating expenses: $100,000; capital expenditures: $36,000.

7.35

Given the following information, calculate the appropriate going-in cap rate using general constant-growth formula: overall market discount rate, 12%; constant growth rate projection: 3% per year; sale price: $1,950,000; net operating income: $390,000; potential gross income: $520,000.

9%

Suppose that an income-producing property is expected to yield cash flows for the owner of $150,000 in each of the next five years, with cash flows being received at the end of each period. If the opportunity cost of investment is 8% annually and the property can be sold for $1,250,000 at the end of the fifth year, determine the value of the property today.

Suppose that examination of a pro forma reveals that the fifth-year net operating income (NOI) for an income-producing property that you are analyzing is $913,058 (you can assume that this cash flow occurs at the end of the year). If you estimate the projected rental growth rate for the property to be 3% per year, determine the projected sale price of the property at the end of year 5 if the going-out capitalization rate is 8%.

Suppose that you are attempting to value an income-producing property using the direct capitalization approach. Using data from comparable properties, you have determined the overall capitalization rate to be 7.5%. If the projected first-year net operating income (NOI) for the subject property is $135,500, what is the indicated value of the subject using direct capitalization?

?

Most appraisers adhere to an "above-line" treatment of capital expenditures. This implies which of the following?

Capital expenditures are subtracted in the calculation of net operating income.

Net operating income is similar to which of the following measures of cash flow in corporate finance?

EBITDTA

The going-in cap rate, or overall capitalization rate, is a measure of the relationship between a property's current income stream and its price or value. Which of the following statements regarding cap rates is true?

It is analogous to the dividend yield on a common stock.

The process of converting periodic income into a value estimate is referred to as income capitalization. Income capitalization models can generally be categorized as either direct capitalization models or discounted cash flow models. Which of the following statements best describes the direct capitalization method?

Value estimates are based on a multiple of expected first year net operating income.

Gross income multiplier analysis assumes that the subject and comparable properties are collecting market rents. Therefore, it is frequently argued that an income multiplier approach to valuation is most appropriate for properties with short-term leases. For which of the following property types, therefore, would we find it most appealing to use a gross-income multiplier in our analysis?

apartments

In calculating net operating income, vacancy losses must be subtracted from the gross income collected. The normal range for vacancy and collection losses for apartment, office, and retail properties is

between 5% and 15%

The expected costs to make replacements, alterations, or improvements to a building that materially prolong its life and increase its value is referred to as

capital expenditures

For smaller income-producing properties, appraisers may use the ratio of a property's selling price to its effective gross income. This is an example of a

gross income multiplier

When calculating the net operating income of a property, it is important to identify any expenses that will be incurred in attempts to maintain the property. All of the following would be considered operating expenses except -property insurance premiums -mortgage payments -utility expenses -property taxes

mortgage payments

The starting point in calculating net operating income is the total annual income the property would produce assuming 100% occupancy and no collection losses. This is commonly referred to as

potential gross income

The cap rate is an important metric that investors use to analyze the state of commercial real estate markets. When interpreting cap rate movements, an increase in cap rates over time would indicate that

property values have decreased

When using discounted cash flow analysis for valuation, the appraiser must estimate the sale price at the end of the expected holding period. This price (assuming selling expenses have yet to be accounted for) is referred to as the property's

terminal value

The distinction between market rent and contract rent is important due to differences in lease terms. Office, retail, and industrial tenants most commonly occupy their space under leases that run

three to five years
