ValuationIncome ApproachMEDIUM

An investment property generates annual rental income of $48,000. After deducting outgoings of $8,000, the net annual income is $40,000. If the appropriate capitalisation rate is 5%, what is the estimated value using the capitalisation approach?

Correct Answer

A) $800,000

Using the capitalisation approach formula: Value = Net Annual Income ÷ Capitalisation Rate. Therefore: $40,000 ÷ 0.05 = $800,000. The net income after outgoings is used, not the gross rental income.
