- 42 - Kidder/Kirby valued the Parker Property using the discounted cash-flow approach. In determining the reversionary value element of the discounted cash-flow approach, Kidder/Kirby used the comparable sales approach. Table 7 shows Atkinson’s, Hulberg’s, and Kidder/Kirby’s valuation of the Parker Property under their respective approaches. Table 7 Approach Atkinson Hulberg Kidder/Kirby Comparable sales $665,300 $1,468,000 -- Income 462,000 1,448,000 -- Cost 803,500 –- -- Discounted cash-flow –- –- $940,000 to 995,500 Conclusion 600,000 1,460,000 940,000 to 995,000 Atkinson made many of the same errors in valuing the Parker Property as he did with the Lafayette Property. Hulberg relied on one such error. In his income approach, Hulberg treated the tenant on the Parker Property as “holding over on a month-to-month tenancy.” He based this on Atkinson’s report, which does indeed make this 20(...continued) date. In addition, potential purchasers of older properties rarely, if ever, estimate the value of potential purchases utilizing the depreciated cost method; purchasers for similar properties typically consider only the market and income approaches. When the cost approach is used, it is typically used to ascertain the feasibility of new construction.Page: Previous 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 Next
