Question

A company purchased three buildings. It has assembled the following market data based on commercial real estate sales in the area in the past six months which can be used to indirectly estimate the selling price of each of the buildings it purchased.

Capitalization Rate	10,000 sq ft	20,000 sq ft	30,000 sq ft	40,000 sq ft	50,000 sq ft
7%	$700,000	$1,425,000	$2,000,000	$2,500,000	$3,000,000
8%	625,000	1,250,000	1,750,000	2,250,000	2,625,000
9%	550,000	1,100,000	1,550,000	2,000,000	2,200,000
10%	500,000	1,000,000	1,400,000	1,800,000	2,100,000

For the three buildings it purchased, the company has measured the size and estimated a capitalization rate based on location and surrounding properties. These estimates for the three buildings are as follows:

	Square Feet	Capitalization Rate
Building 3	38,000	7%
Building 4	41,000	8%
Building 5	46,000	10%

Estimate the fair value of each of the three buildings.
