        The cost approach is a real estate valuation method which estimates the replacement cost of a property by:

        • A. adding the cost of land and the cost of reconstruction at the current
          cost.
        • B. subtracting the current cost of reconstruction from the cost of the land.
        • C. discounting the net operating income at the cap rate.

          The correct answer is A.

          The premise of the cost approach is that a potential user of real estate shouldn’t pay more for a property than it would cost to build an equivalent. The cost approach estimates the replacement cost of a building by adding the cost of the land to the current cost of reconstructing the building.
