33. A property is appraised using the cost
approach. The appraiser estimates the cost to
replace the building at P400,000. The land is
worth P100,000. The appraiser estimates the
amount of depreciation to be P50,000. What is
the estimated market value of the property?
P 550,000
P 450,000
P 500,000
P 250,000
34. A property is appraised using the income
approach. The appraiser estimates the net
operating income (NOI) to be P50,000 per year.
The appraiser uses a capitalization rate of 10%.
What is the estimated market value of the
property?
P 550,000
P 500,000
P 55,555.55
P 55,000
35. A property is appraised using the residual
approach. The expected net operating income
(NOI) for the property is projected to be
P100,000 per year. The required rate of return is
8%, and the estimated land value is P500,000.
What is the estimated value of the property's
improvements?
P 875,000
P 500,000
P 625,000
P 750,000
Feedback
To find the estimated value of the property's
improvements using the residual approach, we
first calculate the capitalized value of the net
operating income (NOI).
The formula is: Capitalized Value = NOI /
Required Rate of Return.
Capitalized Value = P100,000 / 0.08 =
P1,250,000
Next, we subtract the estimated land value from
the capitalized value to find the value of the
improvements:
Estimated value of improvements = Capitalized
Value - Land value = P1,250,000 - P500,000 =
P750,000
Therefore, the estimated value of the property's
improvements is P750,000.
36. What is the term used to describe a type of
depreciation that occurs due to factors outside
the property itself, such as changes in the
neighborhood or surrounding area?
Obsolescence
Physical depreciation
Functional depreciation
External obsolescence
37. A property is appraised using the cost
approach. The replacement cost of the building
is estimated to be P1,000,000. The effective age
of the building is 20 years, and its total economic
life is estimated to be 50 years. What is the
estimated accrued depreciation for the building?
P 200,000
P 400,000
P 500,000
P 600,000
Feedback
To find the estimated accrued depreciation for
the building using the cost approach, we
calculate the depreciation as a percentage of the
replacement cost.
Accrued depreciation = (Effective age / Total
economic life) * Replacement cost
Accrued depreciation = (20 / 50) * P1,000,000 =
P400,000
Therefore, the estimated accrued depreciation
for the building is P400,000.
38. When using the sales comparison approach,
which of the following adjustments is typically
made for a comparable property that has a
larger square footage than the subject property?
No adjustment
Adjustment depends on other factors
Positive adjustment
Negative adjustment
39. What is the term used to describe the
process of estimating the value of a property by
examining its historical income and expense
data, as well as the income potential of similar
properties?
Cash-on-cash return
Capital expenditure analysis
Income capitalization approach
Gross rent multiplier
40. A commercial property generates an annual
net operating income (NOI) of P200,000. The
estimated capitalization rate is 7.5%. What is the
estimated value of the property using the direct
capitalization method?
P 2,000,000
P 2,666,667
P 2,666,666
P 3,000,000
Feedback
Estimated Value = NOI / Capitalization Rate
Estimated Value = P200,000 / 0.075
Estimated Value = P2,666,666.667 or
P2,666,667 (rounded off)
Note: The rule of thumb for rounding off
numbers is to round off to the nearest whole
number if the decimal is less than 0.5, and to the
next highest whole number if the decimal is
greater than or equal to 0.5.
In this case, the decimal is 0.667, which is
greater than or equal to 0.5. Therefore, the
number should be rounded off to the next
highest whole number, which is P 2,666,667.
41. A 4-unit apartment building has a net
operating income (NOI) of P120,000 per year.
The appraiser uses a cap rate of 10% to
estimate the market value of the property.
However, the appraiser is concerned that the
cap rate for similar properties in the area may be
closer to 12%. What is the range of possible
market values for the property?
P 1,200,000 to P 1,440,000
P 1,680,000 to P 1,920,000
P 1,000,000 to P 1,200,000
P 1,440,000 to P 1,680,000
Feedback
Lower Cap Rate:
Market Value = NOI / Cap Rate
Market Value = P120,000 / 0.10
Market Value = P1,200,000
Higher Cap Rate:
Market Value = NOI / Cap Rate
Market Value = P120,000 / 0.12
Market Value = P1,000,000
The range of possible market values for the
property is between P1,000,000 and
P1,200,000.
42. You are offered the following two options:
Option A: You will receive P100,000 today.
Option B: You will receive P120,000 in one year.
Which option should you choose?
Option B, because it has a higher future value.
It depends on the interest rate.
Both options are equally valuable.
Option A, because it is worth more today.
Feedback
If the interest rate is zero, then both options are
equally valuable.
However, if the interest rate is positive, then
Option B is more valuable than Option A. This is
because the future value of Option B will be
greater than the present value of Option A, due
to the interest earned.
For example, if the interest rate is 5%, then the
future value of Option B will be P126,000 in one
year. This is greater than the present value of
Option A, which is P100,000.
43. You want to have P100,000 in five years.
How much money do you need to invest today if
the interest rate is 7%?
P71,298.61
P75,000
P82,000
P85,306.05
Feedback
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + Interest
Rate)^Number of Periods
Present Value = 100,000 / (1 + 0.07)^5
Present Value = 100,000 / 1.40255
Present Value ≈ P71,298.617
44. Property rights conveyed adjustments in the
sales comparison approach are used to
compensate for differences:
In the financing terms included with the
comparable sales
In the ages of improvement of the subject and
the comparable sales
In the locations of the subject and the
comparable sales
In the rights in realty of the subject and the
comparable sales
45. The percentage of gross adjustment in the
sales comparison approach is:
A. The sum of the absolute values
(regardless of sign) of the adjustments as a
percentage of the gross sale price
B. The net amount adjustment (considering the
signs) based on a percentage of the gross sale
price
C. The final value opinion divided by the value
conclusion derived in the sales comparison
approach
D. The gross sale price divided by the average
adjustment rate
Feedback
The answer is (a). The percentage of gross
adjustment in the sales comparison approach is
the sum of the absolute values (regardless of
sign) of the adjustments as a percentage of the
gross sale price. This is a measure of how much
the adjustments have changed the value of the
comparable property.
Option (b) is the net amount adjustment, which
considers the signs of the adjustments. Option
(c) is the final value opinion divided by the value
conclusion derived in the sales comparison
approach. Option (d) is the gross sale price
divided by the average adjustment rate.
Here is an example. Let's say we have a
comparable property that sold for $100,000. We
make the following adjustments to the
comparable property:
An adjustment of +P10,000 for a larger lot size.
An adjustment of -P5,000 for a less desirable
location.
An adjustment of +P2,000 for a newer roof.
The total gross adjustment for the comparable
property is P7,000.
The percentage of gross adjustment is P7,000 /
P100,000 * 100% = 7%.
46. The sales comparison approach is based on
the concept that:
Appraisers can study market participants’
behavior in the past and draw inferences
about future buyer actions based on that
data
Buyers can always build a new building instead
of buying the subject
Buyers may decide to rent a property in lieu of
buying the subject
Past market behavior will seldom be replicated
in future markets
47. If a comparable sold for P 4,000,000 today
and prices in this market were decreasing by 5%

Coefficient
Price Index
Foreign Exchange Rate
Variable
Feedback
The Price Index is used in the appraisal of
machinery using the RCN (Replacement Cost
New) method. The Price Index refers to the
normalized average of price relatives for a given
class of goods or services in a given region
during a given interval of time. It helps in
adjusting the RCN to reflect changes in the cost
of machinery over time due to inflation or market
fluctuations.
Coefficient: While coefficients are used in
various mathematical equations and statistical
models, they are not directly related to the
specific description given in the question about
machinery appraisal using the RCN method.
Variable: A variable is a factor that can vary or
change in a given context. Although the Price
Index is a variable in the sense that it changes
over time, it is not the term used to describe the
specific factor mentioned in the question.
Foreign Exchange Rate: The foreign exchange
rate refers to the rate at which one currency can
be exchanged for another. It is not directly
related to the appraisal of machinery using the
RCN method, which focuses on local price
variations and does not involve foreign
exchange considerations.

Descriptive
Standard deviation
Feedback
Standard deviation provides a way to quantify
the spread or dispersion of data points in a
dataset. It tells us how much individual data
points deviate from the mean. A smaller
standard deviation indicates that the data points
are close to the mean, while a larger standard
deviation indicates that the data points are more
spread out from the mean.
The formula for calculating the standard
deviation is as follows:
Standard Deviation (σ) = √Variance
Where Variance is the average of the squared
differences between each data point and the
mean.

The formula for the present value of an ordinary
annuity is:
PV = Pmt * ((1 - (1 + r)^(-n)) / r)
where:
PV = Present Value of the annuity
Pmt = Payment amount per period (Php 500,000
in this case, as it's invested each year)
r = Interest rate per period (6% or 0.06 as a
decimal)
n = Number of periods (6 years in this case)
Now, we also have a factor of 4.917324. This
factor is used to simplify the calculation of the
present value. The factor is derived from the
above formula.
PV = Pmt * factor
Substitute the values:
PV = 500,000 * 4.917324
PV = 2,458,662
So, the present value (amount Mr. DJ should
pay today) is Php 2,458,662 to be assured of

Feedback
Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * side length^2
Where:
Area is the area of the equilateral triangle,
Side length is the length of one side of the
equilateral triangle.
Given that the length of one side of the
equilateral triangle is 6 meters, we can now
calculate the area:
Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * 6^2
Area = (1.732 / 4) * 36
Area = 0.433 * 36
Area = 15.588 or 15.59 square meters
So, the area of the equilateral triangle is
approximately 15.59 square meters.

When a circle is inscribed in a square, the
diameter of the circle is equal to the side length
of the square. The formula for the area of a
circle is:
Area = π * (radius)^2
Since the diameter of the inscribed circle is
equal to the side length of the square, the radius
of the circle is:
Radius = Side length / 2
Radius = 8 feet / 2 = 4 feet
Now, we can calculate the area of the circle:
Area = π * (4 feet)^2
Area = π * 16 square feet
Using the approximation of π as 3.14159:
Area ≈ 3.14159 * 16 square feet
Area ≈ 50.265 square feet
So, the correct area of the circle inscribed in the
square with a side length of 8 feet is
approximately 50.265 square feet, which can be
rounded to 50.27 ft^2.

When a circle is circumscribed around a square,
the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal
of the square. The formula for the area of a
circle is:
Area = π * (radius)^2
To find the radius of the circumscribed circle, we
can use the Pythagorean theorem. In a square
with a side length of 8 feet, the diagonal (d) can
be calculated as follows:
d = side length * √2
d = 8 feet * √2 ≈ 11.314 feet
Now, since the diameter of the circle is equal to
the diagonal, the radius (r) is half of the
diagonal:
r=d/2
r ≈ 11.314 feet / 2 ≈ 5.657 feet
Now, we can calculate the area of the circle:
Area = π * (5.657 feet)^2
Area ≈ π * 31.915 square feet
Using the approximation of π as 3.14159:
Area ≈ 3.14159 * 31.915 square feet
Area ≈ 100.530 square feet
So, the correct area of the circle circumscribed
around the square with a side length of 8 feet is
approximately 100.530 square feet, which can
be rounded to 100.53 ft^2.

Feedback
To find the area of the square circumscribed by
a circle with a diameter of 4 meters, we need to
first find the side length of the square, and then
use that to calculate the area of the square.
When a circle is circumscribed around a square,
the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal
of the square. If the diameter of the circle is 4
meters, then the diagonal of the square is also 4
meters.
Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to
find the side length (s) of the square:
s^2 + s^2 = 4^2
2s^2 = 16
s^2 = 8
s = √8 ≈ 2.828 meters
Now, we can calculate the area of the square:
Area = side length^2
Area = (2.828 meters)^2
Area ≈ 7.997584 square meters or 8 square
meters
So, the area of the square circumscribed by a
circle with a diameter of 4 meters is
approximately 8 square meters.

Correct answers
47.12 m2
Feedback
The formula to calculate the area (A) of an
ellipse is:
A = π * (major axis / 2) * (minor axis / 2)
Given that the major axis is 10 meters and the
minor axis is 6 meters, we can plug these values
into the formula and calculate the area:
A = π * (10 meters / 2) * (6 meters / 2)
A = π * 5 meters * 3 meters
A = 15π square meters
Using an approximate value for π, which is
3.14159:
A ≈ 15 * 3.14159 square meters
A ≈ 47.12385 square meters
So, the area of the ellipse with a major axis of 10
meters and a minor axis of 6 meters is
approximately 47.12 square meters.

Feedback
To determine the amount of concrete needed to
fill a cylindrical hole, you can calculate the
volume of the cylinder. The formula for the
volume (V) of a cylinder is:
V = π * r^2 * h
where:
V = Volume of the cylinder
π ≈ 3.14159 (approximate value of pi)
r = Radius of the cylinder
h = Height (depth) of the cylinder
Given that the radius (r) is 1 meter and the depth
(h) is 3 meters, we can now calculate the
volume:
V = π * (1 meter)^2 * 3 meters
V = π * 1 square meter * 3 meters
V = 3π cubic meters
Using an approximate value for π, which is
3.14159:
V ≈ 3 * 3.14159 cubic meters
V ≈ 9.42477 cubic meters
So, you would need approximately 9.42 cubic
meters of concrete to fill the cylindrical hole with
a radius of 1 meter and a depth of 3 meters.

Feedback
To find the maximum allowable building footprint
on the land plot, we need to account for the
setbacks and easements. The building footprint
will be the area of the rectangle that remains
after considering these restrictions.
Front setback = 5 meters
Rear easement = 2.5 meters
Side easements (left and right sides) = 2 * 2.5
meters = 5 meters (total for both sides)
Now, we need to adjust the dimensions of the
rectangle to account for the setbacks and
easements:
Frontage after setback: 15 meters - 5 meters =
10 meters
Depth after easements: 27.5 meters - 2.5 meters
(rear) - 5 meters (both sides) = 20 meters
Now, we have a rectangular area with
dimensions 10 meters (frontage) by 20 meters
(depth). To find the maximum allowable building
footprint, we calculate the area of this rectangle:
Area = 10 meters * 20 meters = 200 square
meters
Therefore, the maximum allowable building
footprint on this land is 200 square meters.

Correct answers
323 Tiles
Feedback
To calculate the number of tiles required to
cover a flooring area of 30 square meters, we
need to convert the measurements to the same
unit (inches or meters) to get a consistent result.
Given that each tile measures 12 x 12 inches,
we can convert this measurement to square
meters:
1 inch = 0.0254 meters (approximately)
Tile dimensions in meters:
12 inches * 0.0254 meters per inch = 0.3048
meters
Now, we need to calculate the area of one tile in
square meters:
Area of one tile = 0.3048 meters * 0.3048 meters
= 0.09290304 square meters
Next, to find the number of tiles required, we
divide the total area of the flooring by the area of
one tile:
Number of tiles = Total area of flooring / Area of
one tile
Number of tiles = 30 square meters /
0.09290304 square meters ≈ 322.92
Since you cannot have a fraction of a tile, you
would need 323 tiles to cover the flooring area of
30 square meters when using tiles that measure
12 x 12 inches each.

Feedback
Area of the lot = Frontage * Length
1,000 square meters = 20 meters * Length
Length = 1,000 square meters / 20 meters
Length = 50 meters
Now, the usable area for the building is the area
of the lot minus the setbacks on all sides. Each
setback is 3.5 meters, so the dimensions of the
usable area will be:
Usable width = Frontage - (2 * setback) = 20
meters - (2 * 3.5 meters) = 20 meters - 7 meters
= 13 meters
Usable length = Length - (2 * setback) = 50
meters - (2 * 3.5 meters) = 50 meters - 7 meters
= 43 meters
Now, we can calculate the usable area:
Usable area = Usable width * Usable length
Usable area = 13 meters * 43 meters
Usable area = 559 square meters
Finally, we can calculate the total cost of the
building:
Total cost of the building = Construction cost per
square meter * Usable area
Total cost of the building = P 30,000 per square
meter * 559 square meters
Total cost of the building = P 16,770,000
The total cost of the building is P 16,770,000.
