Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving cost approach and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 57)

Answer choices

1. A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
2. B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
3. C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
4. D. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.

Correct Answer

A. Combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because cost approach requires candidates to combine land value with replacement cost less depreciation. The Pennsylvania reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
