1. You have received instructions from the proprietor of a school to provide an estimate of the market value of a four-storey school complex. The building, which is situated on a 3-acre parcel of land, has a total gross building area of 2,400m2. You have determined that the building, which was constructed 10 years ago, has an effective age of 8 years. Evidence gathered from the market indicates that a similar property with a gross building area of 2,000m2 was recently constructed at a cost of GH¢6,000,000. Land values within the neighbourhood of the school are currently estimated at GH¢350,000 per acre.

At the time of sale, the building had an effective age of 12 years while the 2.5-acre land on which the building is situated was estimated at GH¢800,000.
