V=I/R
Where: V= Value
I= income
Rate= interest rate
To find the Building value, the Rate should be interest rate plus recapture rate; formula property,
assuming a Rate= interest rate + Recapture rate
Recapture rate= 1/Economic life of the building
10. PV = 10,000
i = .06
n=5
FV = 10,000 (1 + .06)5 = 10,000 (1.3382255776)
ANSWER = 13,382.26
11. PV = 10,000
i = .06 / 2 = .03
n = 5 * 2 = 10
FV = 10,000 (1 + .03)10 = 10,000 (1.343916379)
