IAAO Course 102: Income Approach to Valuation
Section 1: Fundamental Principles of the Income Approach
(Questions 1-20)
Q1. The underlying principle providing the basis of the income capitalization
approach is:
A) Substitution
B) Anticipation
C) Supply and Demand
D) Highest and Best Use
Answer: B) Anticipation
Rationale: The principle of anticipation states that value is created by the
expectation of future benefits. The income approach converts anticipated future
,income into present value. This principle forms the fundamental theoretical basis
for capitalizing income into value .
Q2. The basic equation used in the income approach to value is:
A) Value = Income × Rate
B) Income = Value × Rate
C) Income ÷ Rate = Value
D) Rate = Income × Value
Answer: C) Income ÷ Rate = Value
Rationale: The fundamental IRV formula is I ÷ R = V (Income divided by Rate
equals Value). This is the direct capitalization formula used to convert a single
year's income estimate into an indication of value .
Q3. In the IRV formula, "I" stands for:
A) Investment
B) Interest
C) Income (Net Operating Income)
D) Inflation
,Answer: C) Income (Net Operating Income)
Rationale: In the IRV formula, I represents Net Operating Income (NOI), R
represents the capitalization rate, and V represents value. This formula is the
cornerstone of the income approach .
Q4. The principle of ____________ states that a property's maximum value tends
to be set by the lowest cost at which another property of equivalent utility can be
purchased.
A) Anticipation
B) Substitution
C) Competition
D) Surplus Productivity
Answer: B) Substitution
Rationale: The principle of substitution is the basis for all three approaches to
value. It establishes that a prudent buyer would pay no more for a property than
the cost of an equally desirable substitute property. This limits value based on
alternatives available in the market .
, Q5. What is the rental income that a property would most probably command in
the open market as of the effective valuation date?
A) Contract rent
B) Market rent
C) Effective rent
D) Potential gross income
Answer: B) Market rent
Rationale: Market rent is the rental income a property would most likely
command in the open market at the effective valuation date. This contrasts with
contract rent, which is the actual rent specified in a lease agreement .
Q6. When market rent exceeds contract rent, the difference is known as:
A) Excess rent
B) Deficit rent
C) Overage rent
D) Percentage rent
