In a front-foot sale scenario, the price is calculated by multiplying the number of front feet by the price per front foot.

• A. Area by price per front foot
• B. Depth by price per front foot
• C. Depth by area
• D. Front feet by price per front foot

Answer: (D)

Frontage pricing uses a linear measure of the lot’s width along the street. The total price is found by taking how many front feet the lot has and multiplying that by the price per front foot. This method reflects paying for the amount of street-facing boundary, not the overall area or depth of the lot.

For example, if a lot has 80 front feet and the rate is $50 per front foot, the price is 80 × 50 = $4,000.

Using area or depth would misapply the pricing method: area by a rate implies price per square foot, and depth by anything doesn’t match how frontage sales are typically priced.
