A comparable sold for $950,000 with net operating income of $76,000. What overall rate does it indicate?

Correct Answer

C) 8.0%

Why this is correct: The overall capitalization rate (OAR) is calculated as Net Operating Income divided by Sales Price: $76,000 / $950,000 = 0.08 or 8.0%. Why the other choices are wrong: '7.6%, income against a rounded million' incorrectly uses $76,000 / $1,000,000. '12.5%, the price divided by the income' inverts the formula ($950,000 / $76,000). '8.4%, after adjusting for the sale's financing' introduces an unsupported adjustment. Exam tip: Cap Rate (R) = NOI / Value. Memorize the formula and its rearrangement: Value = NOI / R.
