Property Valuation
In Kansas, when an appraiser uses 'discounted cash flow' (DCF) analysis for a commercial property, they are:
ACalculating discounts on cash transactions only
BProjecting future income streams and expenses over a holding period, then discounting them to present value using a required rate of return✓ Correct
CAnalyzing how quickly the property will generate cash to repay a loan
DReviewing only the current year's cash flows
Explanation
DCF analysis projects income, expenses, and a reversion (sale proceeds) over a projected holding period, then discounts each year's cash flows back to present value using the investor's required rate of return.
