USPAP Compliant Adjustment Series
Course #5 – Cost-Related Adjustments II
Tuesday, August 3rd: 10am-12pm Central
In the fifth and final episode, our expert Instructors/Coaches, Tim Andersen and Scott Cullen, will continue with Part II of our session dedicated to Cost-Related Adjustments.
Appraisers use the sales grid to adjust for differences in contributory value. Many grid categories relate to cost. Learn why to think of contributory value as a percentage of cost. Learn to extract marginal cost from published average cost data. Apply the percentage of contributory value to marginal cost to develop depreciated cost adjustments.
