A 25-year-old property sells for $125,000. If the site is worth $25,000 and the building would cost $200,00 to replace today, what is the annual rate of depreciation? -
CORRECT ANSWER-a. .5%
b. 1.0%
c. 2.0%
d. 5.0%
**ANSWER: C
Land never depreciates, so first determine the value of the structure: $125,000 - $25,000 = $100,000. Using straight-line depreciation, you can determine the building has
depreciated by $100,00 since it was built ($200,000-$100,000), which equates to $4,000 per year ($100,000/25=$4,000). Finally, divide the annual depreciation by the
value of the structure to find the annual rate of depreciation: $4,000 / $200,000 = 2%
