1- Suppose that nominal interest rate for mortgage loans increased from 5% to 10% and the expected inflation rate in housing sector increased from 1% to 7%. How does it affect the total housing demand? Why? (20 pts) 2- Suppose that Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey announced that it will implement a monetary expansion which increased the inflation expectations. Using the supply and demand for bonds graphically show and explain how interest rates are affected after this announcement. (20 pts) 3- Find the current price of a 3-year coupon bond which has a face value of 1000 TL, 5% coupon payment and 6% yield to maturity? (20 pt) 4- Calculate the equilibrium interest rate of a 1-year discount bond with a face value of 1000. The demand and supply curves for this bond are represented by the following equations: (20 points) Bd: Price = -0.8 * Quantity + 1160 Bs: Price = Quantity + 720 5- One-year interest rates over the next five years are expected to be as follows: 5%, 9%, 10%, 15%, 16 Assuming the expectations theory is the correct theory of the term structure, calculate the interest rates in the term structure for maturities of one to five years, and plot the resulting yield curve.

1- If you were buying a large apartment (multi-family) complex, which of the following risks would you be least concerned about? Regulatory (legislative) risk Inflation risk Business and general economic risk Management risk 2- Standard deviation is a tool that can be used in conjunction with a real estate proforma analysis. The results provide information on: How much your specific investment varies from a "standard" real estate investment Where you might be in the standard business cycle for this sector of real estate The variability of expected returns under a probability-weighted sensitivity or scenario analysis The standard amount your returns would be impacted by any given variable change 3- The purpose of "partitioning the IRR" is best described as: Determining how dependent your analysis model is on your "going-out" assumptions versus your operating assumptions To determine the parts that make up your required return including the risk-free portion, and premiums for inflation, leverage, and other real estate-related risks. Acknowledging the difference between Internal Rate of Return and Required Rate of Return To split out the risk of a project by variables used in a model through the application of a sensitivity analysis. 4- You are considering buying one of two reasonably leveraged real estate investments. Investment A shows a 10% IRR. Investment B, with slightly higher leverage, shows a 13% IRR. Which do you buy? Buy investment B since it has higher returns Buy investment A since it has lower risk Buy investment B as it has substantially higher returns with only slightly higher leverage There is not enough information in the question to make an informed decision 5- Which of the following risks is likely to be the most significant when considering an existing commercial income property: Lease rollover risk Inflation risk Interest rate risk Management risk
