A)sinking fund method
B)constant percentage method
C)straight line method
D)quantity survey method

Question 8

Obsolescence is the annual periodic payments for repayments of the capital amount invested by a party.

Question 9

Scrap value is the net annual letting value of a property, which is obtained after deducting the amount of yearly repairs from the gross income.

Question 10

Approximate cost of a hostel building for 100 students @Rs.10000/- per student works out as Rs. 10 lakhs.

Question 11

Cube rate estimate is less accurate as compared to the plinth area estimate as the height of the building is also compared.

Question 12

For storeyed building plinth area estimate is not prepared for each storey separately.

Question 13

In this method approx. total length of walls is found in running metre and this total length multiplied by the rate per running metre of wall gives a fairly accurate cost.
