LAND RESIDUAL METHOD

EXAMPLE

Determine the land value from the information below using the land residual method:

Building value: 
$100 000
Required return on building: 
12% per annum
Expected life of building: 
20 years
Required return from land: 
8% per annum
Replacement of capital: 
8% per annum
Net annual income: 
$25 000

1. STEP 1
Net annual income: 
25 000
Less return on building: 12% * 100 000 = 
(12 000)
Sinking Fund Factor: 1/((1.0820-1)/0.08) = 0.0219

Sinking fund contributions to replace building: 0.0219 * 100 000 = 
(2190)

-----------
Therefore, income derived from land = 
10 810 pa
LAND VALUE: 

10810 * 100/8 = 
135 125

say 13
