Course
Description
This course provides a comprehensive review of the
concepts studied in ME201, ME202 and ME203. It reviews the application of
appraisal techniques in valuing an integrated facility (steel mill) and
considers various professional standards including USPAP, IVS and Ethics and
their relationship to report writing. It also discusses how to develop and write
a professional appraisal report. This course takes an in-depth look at the
skills needed to address issues of obsolescence (physical, functional and
economic), and finally, the course will provide students with the tools for
analyzing the following items and ways
to apply these appraisal concepts in their day-to-day practice:
- Inutility;
- Complex Leasing Structures;
- Residual Forecasting;
- Fair Rental Calculations (for Leasing); and
- Valuing facilities using all three approaches to
value.
