This tool allows you to accurately estimate parameters using the Anderson-Hsiao method based on your input dataset.
How to Use the Anderson-Hsiao Estimator Calculator
To use this calculator, fill in the following fields:
- Market Value of Property: Enter the current market value of the property.
- Redevelopment Value of Property: Enter the projected value of the property after redevelopment.
- Cost of Redevelopment: Enter the total cost expected to be spent on redevelopment.
- Discount Rate (%): Enter the discount rate as a percentage to account for the time value of money.
Press the “Calculate” button to view the result in the provided result field.
Calculation Method
This calculator uses the following formula to compute the Anderson-Hsiao estimator:
Estimation Value (E) = (Redevelopment Value - Market Value - Cost of Redevelopment) / (1 + Discount Rate)
This formula helps in determining the profitability and feasibility of redeveloping a property by estimating the net gain or loss.
Limitations
While the Anderson-Hsiao estimator serves as a useful tool for preliminary analysis, it has the following limitations:
- It does not account for unforeseen costs or changes in market conditions.
- The discount rate must be accurately estimated, which can be challenging.
- The accuracy of the calculator depends on the accuracy of the input values.
