A comparable sold for $320,000, was adjusted to $312,000, and contains 2,080 square feet. What adjusted price per square foot does it indicate?

Correct Answer

C) $150.00

Why this is correct: the rate carried forward is derived from the adjusted price, since that is the figure now comparable to the subject. Calculation: $312,000 ÷ 2,080 = $150.00. Why the other choices are wrong: $153.85 uses the unadjusted sale price and reintroduces the differences the grid removed; $156.00 and $148.57 divide by 2,000 and 2,100 rather than the comparable’s actual area.
