Sensitivity and Scenario Analysis
Risk Assessment and Discount Rate Selection
This examination evaluates the candidate’s ability to apply discounted cash flow (DCF)
techniques in real estate valuation contexts. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in
projecting property-level cash flows, estimating terminal values, and selecting
appropriate discount rates under varying market conditions. The assessment emphasizes
applied financial reasoning, investment analysis, and decision-making in both stabilized
and transitional real estate assets.
Candidates are required to answer all 60 questions within the allocated time. Each
question is scenario-based and requires analytical reasoning. Use of financial calculators
is permitted. Ensure all answers are clearly marked. This simulation exam is designed to
reflect the structure and rigor of professional real estate valuation assessments but is
entirely original and created for educational purposes only.
,Q1. A commercial property generates annual Net Operating Income (NOI) of $500,000
with expected growth of 3% annually for 5 years. If the discount rate is 9%, what is the
most appropriate method to estimate present value? hard and difficult level
A. Direct capitalization using current NOI
B. Discount each year's projected NOI
C. Multiply NOI by market cap rate
D. Apply gross rent multiplier
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Discount each year's projected NOI
Explanation: 🟡 DCF requires projecting and discounting each future cash flow. A ignores
growth, C oversimplifies, and D is not income-based.
Q2. A property has uneven cash flows due to lease rollover risk. Which approach best
captures valuation accuracy? hard and difficult level
A. Direct capitalization
B. Stabilized NOI approach
C. Multi-period DCF analysis
D. Replacement cost method
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Multi-period DCF analysis
Explanation: 🟡 DCF captures variability over time. A and B assume stability, D ignores
, income.
Q3. If exit cap rate increases, what happens to terminal value in a DCF model? hard and
difficult level
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains constant
D. Becomes irrelevant
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Decreases
Explanation: 🟡 Terminal value = NOI / cap rate. Higher cap rate lowers value. Others
incorrect.
Q4. Which component is excluded from NOI? hard and difficult level
A. Property taxes
B. Insurance
C. Debt service
D. Maintenance
