IAAO Mass Appraising Practice Exam

To determine the number of appraisers required to field canvass 3,000 commercial parcels within a year, we need to assess the workload each appraiser will handle in relation to the available workdays.

Assuming that each appraiser can complete a certain number of parcels in a single workday, we can estimate how many parcels an individual appraiser can handle during the year. If we assume, for instance, that each appraiser can canvass a specific number of parcels per workday, we multiply that daily capacity by the total number of workdays available (200) to find the total workload manageable by a single appraiser per year.

For example, if one appraiser can canvass 15 parcels in a day, over 200 days, that appraiser can effectively canvass 3,000 parcels in a year. However, if they can only handle fewer parcels in that timeframe, which leads us to the conclusion that dividing the total number of parcels by the total parcels one appraiser can handle in a year gives the number of appraisers needed.

If through this calculation, the result indicates that approximately 3 appraisers would be necessary to complete the work within the given time frame, this justifies the response selected. Evaluating workload
