Five years ago a consulting engineer purchased a building for company offices constructed of bricks that not properly fired. As a result, some of the bricks were deteriorated from their exposure to rain and snow. Because of the problem with the selling price of the building was 25% below the price of comparable, structurally sound buildings. engineer repaired the damaged bricks and arrested further deterioration by apply- ing an extra-strength solvent-based RTV elasto meric sealant. This resulted in restoring the build to its fair market value. If the depressed purchase price of the building was $600,000 and the cost of getting it repaired was $25,000, what the equivalent value of the "forced appreciation today, if the interest rate is 8% per year?
