Chapter 13 Risk Analysis Question 1 What is meant by partitioning the internal rate of return? Why is this procedure meaningful? To partition the IRR is to gain an idea of the weight of the two components of return, cash flow from operations and from sale of investment. Partitioning the IRR is meaningful when comparing multiple investments and it ultimately determines risk. Also, it is meaningful because it gives investors an idea of how much return they can expect to get from the operating cash flow and they can determine the projected resale cash flow. Question 2 What is a risk premium? Why does such a premium exist between interest rates on mortgages and rates of return earned on equity invested in real estate? A risk premium is a higher expected rate of returned paid to the investor in exchange or the additional risk they take on in an investment. The premium exists because the investor is assuming more risk than the mortgage lender in these cases. The mortgager assumes more risk on the investment because in case there were a default on the property, the lender would hold fist dibs. Question 3 What are some of the types of risk that should be considered when analyzing real estate and other categories of investment? Inflation Risk Liquidity Risk Environmental Risk Financial Risk Interest Rate Risk Question 4 Why is the variance (or standard deviation) used as a measure of risk? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this risk measure? Generally, lower variability in returns is considered to go hand and hand with lower risk and high variability is associated with higher risk. By using variance investors could predict the riskiness of the investment. It is advantageous because of how simple it is to calculate, and has a disadvantage in that it is sensitive to outliers. Question 5 What is meant by a ‘ real option’ ? A “real” option is an option associated with a tangible asset, like real estate or gold, that has a waiting period in which the investor can decide to invest more money because of the perceived future market conditions. Question 6
How does the use of scenarios differ from sensitivity analysis ? Scenarios involve changing more than one variable at once, sensitivity analysis involves simply changing one variable at a time such as vacancy rate. Question 7 How does the use of Monte Carlo Simulation differ from using scenarios? The Monte Carlo simulation is a model that constantly repeats random sampling to produce random results. A scenario analysis can change more than one factor and even the range of factors, but a Monte Carlo Analysis is more complex than that because it can provide the same change in scenarios but over thousands of possible outcomes. co
