Questions 86-89 based on the information below.

You are appraising a 40-acre tract of unimproved by a real land. The size is zoned for
single-family residential use. All utilities are available along the street on which the land
fronts. The engineers who will plat the proposed subdivision told you that 20% of the
land area will be used for streets and sidewalks. Zoning will permit four lots per acre of
net developable land after deducting streets. Research indicates that lots similar to
those that will be available on the subject land will sell for 18,000 each and that the
entire tract can be developed and sold in 1 year. You find that 40% of the sale price of
each lot must be allocated to selling cost, overhead, contingencies, carrying cost, and
developer’s profit, and that 2,000 feet of streets (including water, storm sewer, and
sanitary sewer lines) must be installed at a cost of 80 per foot.

SET EXAM 3

1. A building is depreciated at 2.5% per year on a straight-line basis. What is the


estimated useful life of the building?

Estimated Useful life = 1/n = 1/2.5% = 40 years

2. A residential land is located at Orange City with an area of 2,200 square meters and
cost per sq.m. is P3,500. It has a corner influence of 25% because of its location,
topography advantage of 20% because it is plain and a plottage of 10% because of its
shape. Compute the value of the property.

Land Value (2,200 @P3,500/sq.m.) = P 7,700,000


Add Adjustment factors:
Corner influence (P7.70M x 25%) = 1,925,000
Topography advantage (P7.70M x 20%) = 1,540,000
Plottage (P7.70M x10%) = 770,000
Value of the Property = 11,935,000

3. Using the 4-3-2-1 depth rule, if a 10-hectare belonging to different owners namely;
Mamita, Tiyo, Alan and L.A was sold for P10,0M, what is the share of each owner?

1st Lot owner: (P10.0M x40%) P4.0M


2nd Lot owner: (P10.0M x30%) P3.0M
3rd Lot owner: (P10.0M x20%) P2.0M
4th Lot owner: (P10.0M x10%) P1.0M

Note: 4-3-2-1 Rule means:


“4” = 40% of the lot value (front quarter) adjacent
to the road;
“3” = 30% of the lot value (second quarter);
“2” = 20% of the lot value (third quarter);
“1” = 10% of the lot value (fourth quarter)

4. Rebisco bought 50 hectares of land at P700 per sq.m. If the medium subd.

gross area, compute the following:
(a) Total land acquisition cost;
(b) Total Development cost;
(c) Total unit costs per sq.m. of the saleable lots;
(d) If the projected gross mark up is 100% of the total unit costs/sq.m. of the saleable
lots, what will be the selling price per square meter?

(a) Land Acquisition Cost: 50 hectares x 10,000 sq.m. @P700/sq.m. = P350.00M


(b) Development Cost: 500,000 sq.m. x @P1,000/sq.m. = P500.00M

remaining economic life of 40 years for the building at 10.5% interest rate and land
value is estimated at P100,000.00

Net Operating Income P50,000.00


Less: Income due to land (P100,000 x 10.5%) 10,500.00
