A functional deficiency costs $42,000 to correct but the entire supported value gain/loss is $31,000, with no other benefits or required work. What treatment fits?
Correct Answer
A) Incurable functional obsolescence: $31,000 supported loss.
The $42,000 cure exceeds the stipulated entire $31,000 benefit with no other effects, so the deficiency is economically incurable. The supported loss is $31,000, not the cure invoice or cost-benefit shortfall.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The $42,000 cure exceeds the stipulated entire $31,000 benefit with no other effects, so the deficiency is economically incurable. The supported loss is $31,000, not the cure invoice or cost-benefit shortfall.

Why can equivalent-utility replacement cost be useful for an obsolete improvement?
An appraiser estimates the current replacement cost new of the improvements at $890,000, accrued depreciation from all causes at $170,000, and land value at $325,000. All necessary cost components and depreciation are included in those amounts. What is the indicated property value?
Improvement cost new is $595,000. Separately supported improvement depreciation deductions of $48,000, $27,000 are expressly nonoverlapping and not already excluded from cost new. Add supported site value of $155,000, already reflecting any site losses. What total indicated value results?
What best supports a claimed loss from a bathroom-layout deficiency?
Improvement cost new is $1,850,000. Separately supported improvement depreciation deductions of $310,000, $620,000 are expressly nonoverlapping and not already excluded from cost new. No site is included. What depreciated improvement amount results?
Which scenario most strongly supports giving the cost approach substantial weight?
A cost total $650,000 explicitly includes $40,000 of non-realty FF&E outside the appraised real-property interest. Exclude it. Supported realty-only total depreciation is $55,000. Add site $200,000, with no overlap. What real-property cost indication results?
A 2,200-sf dwelling costs $200 per square foot, and a separate 400-sf garage costs $75 per square foot. These costs are complete and do not overlap. Both have an effective age of 15 years and a total life of 50 years, with straight-line depreciation and no salvage value. No site value or other loss is involved. What is the combined depreciated cost of the dwelling and garage?
A new feature in the improvements has a current cost of $45,000 and a market contribution of $18,000. The entire difference is due to superadequacy, with no physical or external loss and no overlap. What is the loss from the superadequacy?
An external influence causes an annual net income loss of $9,600. The capitalization rate for the loss is 8%, and no other economic factors change. What is the indicated loss in value of the whole property, before allocation between site and improvements?
