A comparable sold for $300,000 and carries adjustments of +$12,000, -$5,000, +$3,000 and -$2,000. What is the net adjustment?

Correct Answer

D) +$8,000

Why this is correct: the net adjustment is the signed sum. Calculation: +$12,000 - $5,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 = +$8,000. Why the other choices are wrong: +$22,000 adds the absolute values, which is the gross adjustment and a different measure; -$8,000 has the correct magnitude and the wrong sign; +$18,000 omits one of the two downward adjustments.
