Measurements of dispersion
Range = Maximum value – Minimum value
Mean absolute deviation: MAD = ∑ ∣X − ẍ∣ / n
Variance: σ2 = ∑ (X − μ) 2 / N
Standard deviation: σ = square root of variance
Coefficient of variation: CV = σ / ẍ
Skewness: SK = (1 / n) (∑ (X − ẍ) 3 / σ 3)
Kurtosis: KE = {1 / n) {∑ (X − ẍ) 4 / σ 4} – 3
Probability concepts
ODDS:
Odds for is 1 to 7: probability = 1 / 8
Odds against is 15 to 1: probability = 15 / 16
Unconditional probability P (A)
Conditional probability P (A/B)
The probability for independent A and B occurs, P (AB) = P (A) P (B)
The probability for dependent A and B occurs, P (AB) = P (BA) = P (A/B) P (B)
Probability that independent A or B occurs, P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B)
Probability that dependent A or B occurs, P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (AB)
Total probability: P (A) = P (AS) + P (ASC)
Bayes formula:
P (Event ∣ Information) = {P (Information ∣ Event) / P (Information)} x P (Event)
P (A ∣ B) = {P (B ∣ A) / P (B)} x P (A)
Counting & labelling:
Multiplication rule for counting: n!
General formula: number of ways to label total n with k different ways: n! / n1! n2! … nk!
Combination formula: total n choose r when order does not matter: n C r = n! / ((n−r)! r!)
Permutation formula: total n choose r when order matter: n P r = n! / (n−r)!
Expected value
Expected value of random variable: E(x) = ∑ P(x) X
Variance of random variable: σ2(x) = ∑ P(x) (X−E(x)) 2
Standard deviation of random variable: σ = square root of variance
Corporate finance
Capital budgeting
NPV: calculator
IRR: calculator
Payback period: number of years to recover original project cost from original cash flows
Discounted payback period: number of years to recover original project cost from discounted
cash flows
Average Accounting Rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
Profitability Index = (CF0 + NPV) / CF0
Cross over rate = IRR of difference between cash inflows & outflows
Estimated increase in stock price = company’s value + NPV / shares outstanding
Where company’s value = price x shares outstanding
Cost of capital
WACC = W debt R debt (1− t) + W preferred R preferred + W equity R equity
R debt: yield to maturity approach
R preferred = Dividend / current preferred stock price
R equity
1- CAPM: R equity = Risk free + beta (risk premium)
Risk premium:
Risk premium = average return of market – average return of free risk
Risk premium = dividend rate + dividend growth rate – risk free rate
Risk premium = survey approach
Beta:
Markets
Margin call price = initial price {(1 – initial margin) / (1 – maintenance margin)}
Returns calculation after one period
Price return of an index = END value − BGN value / BGN value
Total return of an index = END value + income − BGN value / BGN value
Value of index = ∑ W P
Value of index after T periods = BGN value (1+PR1) (1+PR2)… (1+PRT)
Weighting:
Price weighting W = P / ∑ P
Equal weighting W = 1 / N
Market capitalization weighting W = P x shares outstanding / ∑ P x shares outstanding
Float adjusted market capitalization weighting W = P x public shares / ∑ P x public shares
Fundamental weighting W = Fundamental value / ∑ Fundamental values
Equity
ROE ratio = Net income / Average Book value of equity
Price to book value ratio = Price / book value per share
Present value models
For common stock:
1- DDM:
Estimated price = PV of cash Dividends
2- FCFE:
Estimated price = PV of FCFEs
FCFE = CFO – Fixed Capital investments + net borrowing
CFO = net income + depreciation – increase in working capital
Net Borrowing = new debt issues – debt principle repayments
Multiplier models
1- price multiples:
Price to earnings per share ratio = P/E
Price to book value per share ratio = P/B
Price to sales per share ratio = P/S
Price to cash flow per share ratio = P/CF
Fundamental: Low multiples associated with higher future returns
Enterprise multiples:
EV = market value of common & preferred shares & debt – cash & short term investments
Enterprise value to EBITDA ratio = EV / EBITDA
Comparable: Ratios below benchmark are undervalued, above benchmark are overvalued
Asset-based models
Equity value = market or fair value of assets – market or fair value of liabilities & preferred
shares / outstanding common shares
Fixed income
YTM (Yield to maturity rate) = IRR of cash inflows & outflows
Market discount rate approach:
Present value approach:
Estimated price = PV of cash inflows
Coupon rate < market discount rate, bond priced at a discount.
Coupon rate > market discount rate, bond priced at a premium.
Coupon rate = market discount rate, bond priced at par.
When market discount rate changes it has the following effects:
Inverse effect: Bond price is inversely related to market discount rate
% Δ bond price is greater when
1- market discount rates goes down, convexity effect
2- for lower coupon, coupon effect
3- longer maturity bond, maturity effect
Spot rate approach:
Estimated price = sum of PV of each payment using its spot rate
= PMT / (1+S1) + PMT / (1+S2)2 + ⋯ + PMT+FV (1+SN) N
Full price between payments:
Full bond price = Estimated price x (1 + r) t/T
Full bond price = Flat price + Accrued interest
Accrued interest = PMT x (t / T)
Where (t / T) can be calculated by actual/actual or 30/360
Yield measures for fixed yield bond:
Effective annual yield = {(1+ periodic YTM) n} - 1
Current yield = annual PMT / bond price
Yield to call can be calculated for each possible call date and price
Yield to worst is the lowest of yield to call & yield to maturity
Option adjusted price = flat price + value of embedded option
Value of embedded option = price as it was option-free bond – price of an option price
Yield measures for FRNs (floating-rate notes):
Coupon rate = reference rate + quoted margin
Bond price = PV of cash inflows using reference rate + required margin
Yields to money market instruments:
Money market at discount rate: PV = FV {1 – (Discount yield (days / year)}
Money market at add on rate: PV = FV / {1 + Add-On yield (days / year)}
Bond equivalent rate = add on rate based on 365 days
To convert: Add on yield / Discount yield = 365/360
(1 + Spot 4)4 = (1+spot 1) (1+1Y1Y) (1+2Y1Y) x (1+3Y1Y)
= (1+spot 2)2 (1+2Y1Y) x (1+3Y1Y)
= (1+spot 3)3 (1+3Y1Y)
Off-record:
Approximate spot rate by: r1 + r2 + r3 / 3
Approximate forward rate by: 2Y1Y = 3 x r3 – 2 x r2
Duration:
Macaulay Duration calculations:
PV of PMT: Calculate discounted value of each payment
Weight of PV of PMT: Calculate weight of each discounted payment
MacDur = ∑ Weight x term of maturity of each payment
ModDur = MacDur / (1 + YTM)
Approx. ModDur = (PV−) − (PV+) / 2 × (ΔYTM) × (PV0)
EffDur = (PV−) − (PV+) / 2 × (ΔCurve) × (PV0)
MonDur per par value = ModDur x Full price of the bond
MonDur = ModDur x Full price of the bond x quantity
PVBP (price value of 1 basis point) = (PV−) − (PV+) / 2
%Δ bond price ≈ – ModDur × Δ Yield
%Δ bond price ≈ – MoneyDur x Δ Yield
Bond duration of a portfolio:
(1) The weighted average of time to receipt of the aggregate cash flows
(2) The weighted average of the individual bond durations that comprise the portfolio.
Portfolio duration = W1D1 + W2D2 + ……. + WNDN
W = market value of bond / ∑ market values of N bonds
D = duration of each bond
N = number of bonds
Convexity:
Approx. Con = ((PV−) + (PV+) – (2 × PV0)) / (ΔYield2 × PV0)
EffCon = ((PV−) + (PV+)] – (2×PV0)) / (ΔCurve)2 × (PV0)
%Δ bond price ≈ (− ModDur × Δ YTM) + (1/2 × Convexity × Δ YTM2)
%Δ bond price: %Δ bond price ≈ (− Duration × Δ spread) + (1/2 × Convexity × Δ Spread2)
Derivatives
PV of an asset:
S0 = PV of expected ST + PV of net cost of carry
Net cost of carry = PV of benefits – PV of costs
No arbitrage value:
S0 = F0 (PV of FT)
FT = ST (FV of S0)
At initiation: Value = S0 – PV of FT = 0
During its life N: Value = SN – PV of FT-N
At expiration: Value = ST – FT
No arbitrage value with costs and benefits:
At initiation: Value = S0 + PV of costs – PV of benefits – PV of FT = 0
During its life N: Value = SN + PVT- N Costs – PVT- N benefits – PV of FT-N
At expiration: Value = ST – FT
Arbitrage value:
If FT > ST, Arbitrager buy asset now, short position forward and gain the difference at T
If FT < ST, Arbitrager sell asset now, long position forward and gain the difference at T
For a call option
In the money: price > exercise price
Out of money: price < exercise price
At the money: price = exercise price
European option:
Call option value at T = Max (0, Price − exercise)
Put option value at T = Max (0, Exercise − price)
Relationships:
As price of underlying increases: call value increases, put value decreases
As exercise price increases: call value decreases, put value increases
As time increase: increase volatility, call value increase, put value increase except for
some cases in European put option
As RF rate increase, call value increase, put value decrease
As volatility of the underlying increase: increase both call & put values
As benefits incur: call value decrease, put value increase
As costs incur: call value increase, put value decrease
Put-call parity:
Current position = Spot price of asset + Premium for money at risk
Invested funds = Call cost + PV of exercise price
Spot price of asset + Premium for money at risk = Call cost + PV of exercise price
General equation: Long call + Long bond = long put + long asset
Covered call: long asset + write a call
Breakeven = current price – premium
Maximum gain = Strike price + premium – current price
Maximum loss = Current price – premium
Protective put: long asset + long put
Breakeven point: current price + premium
Maximum gain: unlimited
Maximum loss: premium
Binomial valuation:
Up = S+1 / S0, Down = S−1 / S0
C0 = π C+ + (1−π) C− / (1 + r)
P0 = π P+ + (1−π) P− / (1 + r)
Where π = 1 + R – down / Up − Down
