Finance formulas

Loan to Value Ratio (LTV RATIO)

Typically the sales price or appraised value is known and the loan amount needs to be calculated.

A

The loan amount is based on LTV ratio.

This ratio, as expressed as a percentage, is the mathematical relationship between the amount the lender will lend and the selling price or appraised value of the property, whichever is less. The resulting percentage is the LTV ratio:

The formula is:

Loan= % x value ( or sales price whichever is less)

Q

Interest

Note that interest in the formula is annual interest.

Therefor before solving any interest problem, be sure the interest is for 1year.

A

If NOT, YOU MUST CONVERT:

If given monthly interest, multiply it by 12

If given quarterly interest, multiply by 4

If given interest for 5 years, DIVIDE IT BY 5

If the problem is to determine the interest for a period of other than a year, solve the problem, to find the annual interest then
Convert the answer accordingly.

Q

A finance problem may involve calculating the principal portion of a loan payment.
There is no formula. To calculate principle payment directly.

A

Example: A monthly payment is $180.00. If the loan balance is $20,000 and the interest rates 9%, what portion of the payment applies to principle?

Annual Interest= 9% of the Loan Balance

Find the annual interest. Divide by 12 to get monthly interest.

Subtract the interest from the monthly payment.

To calculate the principle for next month, start over with the new loan balance.

Q

Another variation of Amortized loans is to determine the total interest. To be paid on a loan.

A

For example: for $20,000 loan, payments are $180 a month. Interest is 9%. Term is 25 years.

To determine the total interest, just determine the total of all payments made and subtract the original loan amount.
Example: 180 x 12 month x 25 years=. Total interest and subtract it from the original loan amount.

Q

Seller’s Proft

Profit is expressed as a percentage of its original cost of the property( or amount invested) and the selling price.

A

To find the dollar amount of profit based on original cost

Profit. =%. Rate x original Cost (or investment W)

Example: a person bought a house for $240000. And sold it for 10% of profit. The dollar amount of profit is?

17
Q

Seller’s Profit

A 
To find the sales price based on a profit percentage of original cost.
Sales Price (p) =  (100% added by profit% )    (R) x Original Cost ( or investment). (W)
18
Q

Sellers Expenses

Net profit is selling property less any expenses I.e. commission, title expenses and loan payoff fees.

A

To calculate a seller’s net profit , the amount of expenses to deduct from selling pric must be determined.

The formula

Sellers Expenses. (P) = %( R) x Salesprice. (W)

example. a person sold a house for 240000. his closing costs are estimated to be 10% of the sales price

19
Q

Taxes. The tax levied on real property is a percentage of the assessment value. The assessed value may be a percentage of the market value.

The tax rate is expressed as a percentage or as dollars per hundred or thousands of dollars.

A

Formula for finding tax and assessed values are:

Tax ( P) = % ( R) x Assessed value (W)

And

Assessed value (P) = % (R) x Market Value. (W)

answering tax questions may require using both formulas, solving one value to use in solving the second

20
Q

For example: the market value is 200,000. Assessed value is 70% of market value. The tax rate for the area in which the property resides is $15 per $1000 ( or 1.5%)

The math to determine the annual tax due on the property

A

Formula

Assessed Value= Rate xMarket Value

Formula

Annual Tax=. Rate % x Assessed Value

21
Q

APPRAISAL FORMULAS

Capitalization: the income approach aka capitalization approach

A

Value equals price a person pays now for the right to receive income from the property in the future.

To convert future annual net income to present value :

I=. E x V

Income (annual net) = Rate (cap rate) x Value

I is given as net.

22
Q

ANNUAL NET INCOME

Before proceeding it may be necessary to determine the annual net income.

A

The following examples use info provided in the question to find:

  1. Annual gross income
  2. Effective gross income
  3. Operating expenses
  4. Annual net.

Annual Gross Income-equals total mo. Income from all units in building multiplied by 12

23
Q
  1. Effective Gross Income: it is unlikely that all units will be continuously be occupied during every month, so effective gross income is used.
A

To determine effective gross income, subtract the vacancies from the annual gross income.

Example: a building has 40 units that rent for $600 per month. Assume vacancies are 10%, operating expense are 45% of gross income and capitalization rate(cap rate) is 12%.

Known annual gross= 288,000
Find effective gross income
Annual gross income- vacancies= effective gross income

Steps. 100% - 10% vacancies = 90%
90% x 288,000= 259,200

24
Q
  1. Operating Expenses may be given as a percentage in the question
A

Multiply the effective gross income by the rate to find operating expenses

Example: a building has 40 units renting for $600.00 a month. Assume vacancies are 10%, operating expenses are 45% of gross income and the cap rate is 12%.

Known: annual gross income= $288,000
Effective gross income = $259,200

Find Operating Expenses
45% of effective gross income

       45% x $259,200 = $116,640.   Operating expense
25
Q
  1. Annual net Income.
A

Subtract operating expenses from effective gross income to find annual net income.

Example: building has 40 units at $600. Per month. Assume vacancies at 10%.
Operating expenses are 45% of gross income and cap rate is 12%

Known: annual Gross Income = $288,000
Effective Gross Income = $259,200
Operating Expenses = $116,640.

Find: Annual Net Income
Effective Gross Income -Operating expenses

Step. $259,200 - $116,640. =$142,560. Annual Net Income

26
Q

Solve: I = R x V
To find Income: multiply Rate and Value
To find rate: divide income by value

To find value: divide income by Rate

A

Example: building has40 units renting $600./ mo. Assume vacancies are10%, operating expenses are 45% of gross income and the cap rate is 12%.
What is the appraised value of the building?

Steps:income: $242,500
Cap rate: 12%
What is value?

V= I divided by R

V= $142,560 divided by 12%
V = $142,500 divided by .12
V= $ 1,188,000
27
Q

GROSS RENT MULTIPLIER THIS IS THE INCOME APPROACH FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

A

A gross rent multiplier relates the value of a property to its rent.

The formula for a gross rent multiplier is:

Value (or sales price) = Monthly Gross Rent x Multiplier

This is the exception to the PRWmodel.

28
Q

Gross rent multiplier the formulas the Whole is equivalent to the Part multiplied by the Rate or W = P x R

A

To find Value: Multiply Gross Rent and Multiplier
To find Multiplier: Divide Value b Gross Rent
To findGrossRent: Divide Value by Multiplier

Example. A property rented for$500 per month and the multiplier was 150. What is Value of the Property.

Gross rent $500/mo
Multiplier: 150
Value. ?

W= P x R
W= $500 x 150
W= $75,000
29
Q

The Multiplier

is obtained by dividing the sales prices of comps by their rent.

A

A example: A house sold for $150,000 and rented for $1,000 per month.What is the multiplier?

Sale Price= $150,000
Gross rent: $1,000.
Multiplier ?

R= W divided by P
R= $150,000 divided by $1,000
R= 150
30
Q

A variation of the Gross Income Multiplier used for Ap. Buildings.

The gross income multiplier is based on Annual Income rather than monthly.

A

Number of units x rent x 12 mos. before proceeding then treat like the formula for
Gross Rent Multiplier

Value = Annual Income x Multiplier

31
Q

Cost Approach most common for specialty property ie single use factories, churches etc.

A

Calculating Estimated Value

Replacement Cost - Depreciation = Value of Improvements + Land Value = Property Value

32
Q

Cost approach

Straight Line Depreciation method by solving for

A
  1. Annual. Depreciation by dividing cost by economic life
  2. Total Depreciation by multiplying annual depreciation by the age
  3. Currant Value by subtracting the total depreciation from the cost

This may be enough to answer questions, but others may require solving for all three values and possibly calculating these values into the future or the past.

Using a percent (R) instead of a number may ease moving values between the formulas .

33
Q
  1. ANNUAL DEPRECIATION= (100% divided by Economic Life) x Cost

The parenthetical 100% will be divided by some #to give (R) as expressed in %.

example: if a building has an economic life of 50 years

Annual depreciation= (100% divided by 50 years) x Cost
2% x Cost

A

If a building is valued at $250,000 and has an economic life of 40 years, its annual depreciation would be:

100% divided by 40 = 2.5

2.5 convert to .025 x 250,000

$6250.

34
Q

TOTAL DEPRECIATION

Total Depreciation= (Age x Annual Depreciation%) x Cost

A

Example: a 10 year old building with a 50 year total economic life would have total depreciation calculated as follows:

Annual Depreciation= (100% divided economic life) x Cost
Annual depreciation (100% divided by 50 years) x cost
Annual depreciation= 2% x Cost

Total depreciation= (Age x Annual Depreciation) x Cost
Total depreciation= (10 years x 2%) x Cost
Total depreciation= 20% x Cost

35
Q

CURRENT VALUE FORMULA

CURRENT value= (100% - total depreciation%) x cost

The current value is what is left of the 100% after deducting appreciation.
The previous building has depreciated 20%

A

Example: a 10 year old building with a 50 year total economic life lif would have total depreciation calculated as follows:

Annual Depreciation= (100% divided by economic life) x cost
Annual Depreciation= (100% divided by 50 years) x cost
Annual depreciation = 2% x cost

Total Depreciation= (age x annual depreciation) x cost
Total depreciation= (10 years x 2%) x cost
Total depreciation= 20%x cost

Current Value= (100% minus total depreciation) x cost
Current value= (100% - 20%) x cost
Current Value= 80% x cost
