A commercial building has an NOI of $180,000 and a capitalization rate of 7.5%. What is the estimated market value of the property?
Correct Answer
A) $2,400,000
Market value under direct capitalization is Value = NOI ÷ Cap Rate. Here $180,000 ÷ 0.075 = $2,400,000. The capitalization rate converts one year of net operating income into an estimate of value for an income-producing property.
