Reading 38: CFA question 3

NOI is growing at 3% a year.

Discount rate = 7.25%.

Going-in cap rate = 5.25%.

Terminal cap rate = 6%.

We are told that “income/value growth rate” is constant.

Growth rate = 7.25% - 5.25% = 2%.

Q1: why is NOI growing at 3%?

Q2: if the terminal cap rate is 6%, does that mean that the discount rate has increased to 8%?
