(1) Excluding apartments, this column shows the reclassification of costs originally buried in a 39 year building life to 15 year site improvement and 5 or 7 year personal property. For apartments, building shell depreciable life is 27.5 years, while site improvement is 15 and personal property is 5. result is a significant cash benefit from accelerated tax depreciation. This cash often equates to $.20 (20%) per dollar reclassified, or more. That amount is a cash return (after tax net present value)

(2) CBM- Cash Benefit Multiple is the multiple comparing the average after tax present value (cash equivalent) to one-half of the average expected fee (cash outlay).
