ValuationCapitalisation ApproachMEDIUM

A commercial property generates $120,000 annual net income. Using a capitalisation rate of 8%, what is the estimated value using the capitalisation approach?

Correct Answer

C) $1,500,000

Using the capitalisation approach formula: Value = Net Income ÷ Capitalisation Rate. Therefore, $120,000 ÷ 0.08 = $1,500,000. This method is commonly used for income-producing properties to determine value based on their earning potential.
