A). Value estimates are based on a multiple of expected first year net operating income.

Explanation:

The direct capitalization method is elucidated as the method that is employed to convert the income in terms of value by dividing the annual operating income (net) initiated through the property by the cap. (capitalization) rate.

As per the question, option A i. e. 'Value estimates are based on a multiple of expected first-year net operating income' is the statement that most appropriately outlines the direct capitalization as it correctly describes the process of 'converting periodic income into a value estimate.' Thus, option A is the correct answer.
