Fisher, Economist Owners of farm buildings frequently ask "What is a fair rent for my buildings?" There are many buildings through- out the countryside that are unused due to declining interest in livestock produc- tion. Many other buildings are unused as farm owners either seli or rent their farm- land, and have litUe or no use for the buildings. How do you arrive at either a fair askIng price or at a fair offer price for a building rental? What are the owner- ship costs for a farm build- ing'? These costs consist of fixed costs which are those that continue each year whether or flot the building is used. Flxed costs are depreciation, interest on the capital investment, repairs, if needed, taxes and insurance. While repairs, taxes and insurance involve direct cash outlays, depreclation and interest on investment do not. 0f course, if the building stili carried a mortgage, then cash would be requlred for interest and principle payments. The variable (or direct cash) costs are those whlch occur when the building is belng used. They are added repair costs and costs for electrical and water service, If required. It Is more difficuit to deter- mine the present value of older buildings that are in good condition, but are obvi- ously not as functional as a more modemn one. Often these older buildings due to type of construction, smaller doors and other drawbacks are not as useful. Also, older buildings would llkely have a higher repair cost than newer ones.
