Math Formula

FV = PV *(1+r)^n

PV = FV / ((1+r)^n)

N = ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+r)

Rate = (FV/PV)1/n -1

Annuity:

N = ln(FV/C*r+1)/(ln(1+r))

Or

N = ln(1/(1-(PV/C)*r)))/ (ln(1+r))

EAR = (1+APR/m)^m-1

APR = (1+EAR)^(1/m)*m

 

 

 

Excel Formulas 

To get FV, use FV function.    

 =abs(fv(rate, nper, pmt, pv))

 

To get PV, use PV function         

 = abs(pv(rate, nper, pmt, fv))

 

To get r, use rate function             

= rate(nper,  pmt, pv, -fv)

 

To get number of years, use nper function                                

 = nper(rate,  pmt, pv, -fv)

 

To get annuity payment, use PMT function                                          

 = abs(pmt(rate, nperpv, -fv))

 

To get Effective rate (EAR), use Effect function                            

 = effect(nominal_ratenpery)

2.      2. Understand what is coupon, coupon rate, yield, yield to maturity, market price, par value, maturity, annual bond, semi-annual bond, current yield.

 

3.      3. Understand how to price bond

Bond price = abs(pv(yield, maturity, coupon, 1000))  ------- annual coupon

Bond price = abs(pv(yield/2, maturity*2, coupon/2, 1000)) ------- semi-annual coupon

 

Also change the yield and observe the price changes. Summarize the price change pattern and draw a graph to demonstrate your findings.

 

Again, when yield to maturity of this semi_annual coupon bond is 4%, how should this WMT bond sell for?

 

4.      Understand how to calculate bond returns

Yield to maturity = rate(maturity, coupon,  -market price, 1000) ---- annual coupon

Yield to maturity = rate(maturity*2, coupon/2,  -market price, 1000)*2 ----- semi-annual coupon

Bond Pricing Excel Formula

 

Summary of bond pricing excel functions

To calculate bond price (annual coupon bond):

Price=abs(pv(yield to maturity, years left to maturity, coupon rate*1000, 1000)

 

To calculate yield to maturity (annual coupon bond)::

Yield to maturity = rate(years left to maturity, coupon rate *1000, -price, 1000)

 

To calculate bond price (semi-annual coupon bond):

Price=abs(pv(yield to maturity/2, years left to maturity*2, coupon rate*1000/2, 1000)

 

To calculate yield to maturity (semi-annual coupon bond):

Yield to maturity = rate(years left to maturity*2, coupon rate *1000/2, -price, 1000)*2

 

To calculate number of years left(annual coupon bond)

Number of years =nper(yield to maturity,  coupon rate*1000, -price, 1000)

 

To calculate number of years left(semi-annual coupon bond)

Number of years =nper(yield to maturity/2,  coupon rate*1000/2, -price, 1000)/2

 

To calculate coupon (annual coupon bond)

Coupon = pmt(yield to maturity, number of years left, -price, 1000)

Coupon rate = coupon / 1000

 

To calculate coupon (semi-annual coupon bond)

Coupon = pmt(yield to maturity/2, number of years left*2, -price, 1000)*2

Coupon rate = coupon / 1000

 

 

 

Low interest on Walmart bonds not worthy of investment (FYI)

MONEY & INVESTING

June 28, 2018

ericBRETAN

https://naples.floridaweekly.com/articles/low-interest-on-walmart-bonds-not-worthy-of-investment/

 

What do you do if you need a few extra bucks and dont have the money? If it is a small purchase, you may put it on your credit card. If it is something larger, you may have to go to the bank and get a loan. But what if you are a business and need more than a few extra bucks? What if you need $16 billion what do you do then? Walmart recently faced this problem after its acquisition of the Indian E-commerce company Flipkart Group. The solution was to issue corporate bonds to the public in return for the cash needed to fund the purchase. But just what are corporate bonds, how are they priced and issued, and are they a good investment?

 

A bond is simply an investment where the investor loans money to a borrower in exchange for a set interest rate for a given period of time. At the bonds maturity, the investor receives the principal back as well. For bonds issued by corporations, typically interest is paid every six months although some bonds pay quarterly or monthly interest payments. Corporations issue bonds that mature anywhere from less than a year (this debt is often called commercial paper) to 30 years or more. Large companies like Disney or Coca-Cola have even issued 100-year maturity bonds.

 

To issue a bond, a company typically will meet with a bank or investment bank to structure the investment. First, the parties will determine the size of the bond. If the company borrows too much, it may hurt its credit rating or have trouble making the interest payments. If it borrows too little, the borrower may not have the funds to maximize its growth or business opportunities. Second, the company and bank will determine the appropriate maturity for the bonds. Factors such as the use of the funds, overall interest rate environment, and credit worthiness of the borrower all will affect this decision.

 

Finally, the bank will price the bonds. Most bonds are issued at par meaning they are issued at the face value of the bond, often $1,000. The price of the bond is then the interest rate that the buyer of the bond will receive. For example, a company can issue a 10 year bond at par that is priced at an interest rate of 6.2 percent. The interest rate of a corporate bond is determined by two factors. The first is the overall rate environment, typically determined by U.S. government debt rates. The second is the credit worthiness of the issuer, which determines the additional interest that investors demand to hold the bonds over Treasury rates. This spread can be very small for well capitalized and stable companies like Microsoft or Apple or very large for risky biotech firms.

After the interest rate of the bonds is set, the investments are sold to the public at the face value of the bonds. Going forward, however, the bonds will trade on the open market and will either trade at a premium or discount to the face value. If overall interest rates go up or the credit worthiness of the company declines, the bonds value will decline as investors sell the bonds to buy more stable bonds or bonds with higher interest rates. Conversely, if interest rates decline or the company credit strengthens, the bonds value will rise as investors buy the bond.

In the case of Walmart, several maturities of bonds were offered to investors to fund the staggering $16 billion needed to fund its acquisition. The longest dated bonds, 30 years to maturity, were priced at just 1.05 percent over the 30 year Treasury rate or around 4.1 percent. This very low rate speaks very highly of the credit worthiness of Walmart. However, one of the main bond credit ratings companies, S&P, stated that the companys strong AA credit rating may be placed under review because of the significant acquisitions the company has recently made and the resulting debt issued to pay for them. Therefore, I would be hesitant to tie up my money for 30 years at such a low interest rate and feel that there are plenty of better investments to earn a better risk adjusted return. ¦

Stock Splits

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. was incorporated on Oct. 31, 1969. On Oct. 1, 1970, Walmart offered 300,000 shares of its common stock to the public at a price of $16.50 per share. Since that time, we have had 11 two-for-one (2:1) stock splits. On a purchase of 100 shares at $16.50 per share on our first offering, the number of shares has grown as follows:

Can you estimate the expected dividend in 2022? And in 2023? And on and on…

image013.jpg

 

Can you write down the math equation now?

WMT stock price = ?

 

Can you calculate now? It is hard right because we assume dividend payment goes to infinity. How can we simplify the calculation?

 

We can assume that dividend grows at certain rate, just as the table on the right shows.

Discount rate is r (based on Beta and CAPM that we will learn in chapter 13)

……

Refer to http://www.calculatinginvestor.com/2011/05/18/gordon-growth-model/

 

·        Now let’s apply this Dividend growth model in problem solving.

 

Constant dividend growth model calculator  (www.jufinance.com/stock)

 

Equations

·         Po= D1/(r-g) or Po= Do*(1+g)/(r-g)

 

·         r = D1/Po+g = Do*(1+g)/Po+g; So r = total return = dividend yield + capital gain yield

 

·         g= r-D1/Po = r- Do*(1+g)/Po

·          

·         Capital Gain yield = g = (P1-Po)/Po; P1: Stock price one year later (P1=D2/(r-g))

·          

·         Dividend Yield = r – g = D1 / Po = Do*(1+g) / Po

 

·         D1=Do*(1+g); D2= D1*(1+g); D3=D2*(1+g)…

 

Exercise:

1.      Consider the valuation of a common stock that paid $1.00 dividend at the end of the last year and is expected to pay a cash dividend in the future. Dividends are expected to grow at 10% and the investors required rate of return is 17%. How much is the price? How much is the dividend yield? Capital gain yield?

2.      The current market price of stock is $90 and the stock pays dividend of $3 with a growth rate of 5%. What is the return of this stock? How much is the dividend yield? Capital gain yield?

 

 

Part III: Non-Constant Dividend Growth

……

 

Non-constant dividend growth model calculator (https://www.jufinance.com/dcf/)

Equations

Pn = Dn+1/(r-g) = Dn*(1+g)/(r-g), since year n, dividends start to grow at a constant rate.

Where Dn+1= next dividend in year n+1;

Do = just paid dividend in year n;

r=stock return; g= dividend growth rate;

Pn= current market price in year n;

 

Po = npv(r, D1, D2, …, Dn+Pn)

Or,

Po = D1/(1+r) + D2/(1+r)2 + … + (Dn+Pn)/(1+r)n

 

In class exercise for non-constant dividend growth model (similar to quiz questions)

 

1.      You expect AAA Corporation to generate the following free cash flows over the next five years:

 

Year

1

2

3

4

5

FCF ($ millions)

75

84

96

111

120

 

Since year 6, you estimate that AAA's free cash flows will grow at 6% per year. WACC of AAA = 15%

·         Calculate the enterprise value for DM Corporation.

·         Assume that AAA has $500 million debt and 14 million shares outstanding, calculate its stock price.

 

Answer:

FCF grows at 6% ==> could use dividend constant growth model to get the value at year 5

Value in year five = FCF in year 6 /(WACC - g)

FCF in year 6 = FCF in year 5 *(1+g%), g=6%

FCF in year 6 = 120 *(1+6%)

value in year five = 120*(1+6%)/(15%-6%) = 1433.13

value in year 0 (current value) =1017.66 = npv(15%, 75, 84, 96, 111, 120+1433.13)

Note: Po = D1/(r-g)  ==> Firm value = FCF1/(WACC-g) = FCFo *(1+g)/(WACC-g)

Assume that AAA has $500 million debt and 14 million shares outstanding, calculate its stock price.

equity value = 1017.66 - 500 = 517.66 millions

stock price = 517.66 / 14

 

 

2. AAA pays no dividend currently. However, you expect it pay an annual dividend of $0.56/share 2 years from now with a growth rate of 4% per year thereafter. Its equity cost = 12%, then its stock price=?

 

Answer:

Do=0

D1=0

D2=0.56

g=4% after year 2 è P2 = D3/(r-g), D3=D2*(1+4%) è P2 = 0.56*(1+4%)/(12%-4%) = 7.28

r=12%

Po=?  Po = NPV(12%, D1, D2+P2), D2 = 0.56, P2=7.28. SO Po = NPV(12%, 0,0.56+7.28) = 6.25

 

(Note: for non-constant growth model, calculate price when dividends start to grow at the constant rate. Then use NPV function using dividends in previous years, last dividend plus price. Or use calculator at https://www.jufinance.com/dcf/ )

 

 

3. Required return =12%.  Do = $1.00, and the dividend will grow by 30% per year for the next 4 years.  After t = 4, the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.34% per year forever.  What is the stock price ($40)? (similar to quiz question)

Answer:

Do=1

D1 = 1*(1+30%) = 1.3

D2= 1.3*(1+30%) = 1.69

D3 = 1.69*(1+30%) = 2.197

D4 = 2.197*(1+30%) = 2.8561

D5 = 2.8561*(1+6.34%), g=6.34%

P4 = D5/(r-g) = 2.8561*(1+6.34%) /(12% - 6.34%)

Po = NPV(12%, 1.3, 1.69, 2.197, 2.8661+2.8561*(1+6.34%) /(12% - 6.34%)) = 40

Details about how to derive the model mathematically (FYI)

The Gordon growth model is a simple discounted cash flow (DCF) model which can be used to value a stock, mutual fund, or even the entire stock market.  The model is named after Myron Gordon who first published the model in 1959.

The Gordon model assumes that a financial security pays a periodic dividend (D) which grows at a constant rate (g). These growing dividend payments are assumed to continue forever. The future dividend payments are discounted at the required rate of return (r) to find the price (P) for the stock or fund.

Under these simple assumptions, the price of the security is given by this equation:

image086.jpg

In this equation, I’ve used the “0” subscript on the price (P) and the “1” subscript on the dividend (D) to indicate that the price is calculated at time zero and the dividend is the expected dividend at the end of period one. However, the equation is commonly written with these subscripts omitted.

Obviously, the assumptions built into this model are overly simplistic for many real-world valuation problems. Many companies pay no dividends, and, for those that do, we may expect changing payout ratios or growth rates as the business matures.

Despite these limitations, I believe spending some time experimenting with the Gordon model can help develop intuition about the relationship between valuation and return.

Deriving the Gordon Growth Model Equation

The Gordon growth model calculates the present value of the security by summing an infinite series of discounted dividend payments which follows the pattern shown here:

image081.jpg

Multiplying both sides of the previous equation by (1+g)/(1+r) gives:

image082.jpg

We can then subtract the second equation from the first equation to get:

image083.jpg

Rearranging and simplifying:

image084.jpg

image085.jpg

Finally, we can simplify further to get the Gordon growth model equatio

1.      NPV Excel syntax

Syntax

  NPV(rate,value1,value2, ...)

  Rate     is the rate of discount over the length of one period.

  Value1, value2, ...     are 1 to 29 arguments representing the payments and income.

·         Value1, value2, ... must be equally spaced in time and occur at the end of each    period. NPV uses the order of value1, value2, ... to interpret the order of cash flows. Be sure to enter your payment and income values in the correct sequence.

 

2.      IRR Excel syntax

Syntax

   IRR(values, guess)

   Values  is an array or a reference to cells that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of return.

  Guess     is a number that you guess is close to the result of IRR.

Excel Template - NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, Payback, Discounted payback

 

 

In class exercise 

 

Part I: Single project

 

1.      How much is MIRR? IRR? Payback period? Discounted payback period? NPV?

WACC:  11.00%

Year                0          1          2          3         

Cash flows      -$800   $350    $350    $350

 

Answer:

 

1)      NPV:

 

 image100.jpg

 

NPV = -800 + 350/(1+11%) + 350/(1+11%)2 + 350/(1+11%)3  = 55.30

Or in excel:  = npv(11%, 350, 350, 350)-800 = 55.30

 

2)      IRR:

 

image099.jpg

So NPV = 0 = -800 + 350/(1+IRR) + 350/(1+IRR)2 + 350/(1+IRR)3 , use Solver, can get IRR = 14.93%

Or in excel:

image067.jpg

 

3)      PI: profitable index

image047.jpg

 

SO, PI= (350/(1+11%) + 350/(1+11%)2 + 350/(1+11%)3 ) / 800 = 1.069

Or PI = NPV/800 + 1 = 55.30/800 + 1 = 1.069

 

4)      Payback period:

image046.jpg

 

A portion of the third year = (800-350-350)/350 = 100/350 = 0.2857

So it takes 2 + 0.2857 = 2.2857 years to pay off the debt of $800.

 

5)      Discounted payback period:

image046.jpg

Note: All the cash flows in the above equation should be the present values.

A portion of the third year = (800-315.32-284.07)/255.92 = 0.78

So it takes 2 + 0.78 = 2.78 years to pay off the debt of $800.

 

Or use the calculator at https://www.jufinance.com/capital/

 

 

Part II: Multi-Projects

 

1.      Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below.  These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable.  The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates the NPV.  If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher NPV, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the chosen NPV versus the maximum possible NPV?  Note that (1) true value is measured by NPV, and (2) under some conditions the choice of IRR vs. NPV will have no effect on the value gained or lost.

 

WACC:  7.50%

Year    0                          1                2            3          4         

CFS     -$1,100               $550          $600       $100    $100

CFL     -$2,700               $650           $725      $800    $1,400

Answer:

 

Part III More on IRR – (non-conventional cash flow) 

 

Suppose an investment will cost $90,000 initially and will generate the following cash flows:

–    Year 1: 132,000

–    Year 2: 100,000

–  Year 3: -150,000

The required return is 15%. Should we accept or reject the project?

1)      How  does the NPV profile look like? (Answer: Inverted NPV profile)

2)      IRR1= 10.11% -- answer

3)      IRR2= 42.66% -- answer

Calculate payback period, NPV, IRR and PI. Analyze your results. (2.85, $764.27, 15.64%, 1.013, accept the project)

 Question 3: Mutually Exclusive Projects

1)      Consider the following cash flows for one-year Project A and B, with required rates of return of 10%. You have limited capital and can invest in one but one project. Which one? (A’s NPV = 72.73, B’s NPV=227.27, so choose B)

§  Initial Outlay: A = -$200; B = -$1,500

§  Inflow:            A = $300; B = $1,900

 

2)      Example: Consider two projects, A and B, with initial outlay of $1,000, cost of capital of 10%, and following cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3:

A: $100                       $200                $2,000

B: $650                       $650                $650

 Which project should you choose if they are mutually exclusive? Independent? Crossover rate?

(mutually exclusive: A’s NPV=758.83 > B’s NPV = 616.45, so choose A; Independent, choose all positive NPV, so choose both;

Crossover rate = 21.01%. The calculator does not work. Use IRR in Excel)

Simple Rules’ for Running a Business (fyi)

From the 20-page cellphone contract to the five-pound employee handbook, even the simple things seem to be getting more complicated.

Companies have been complicating things for themselves, tooanalyzing hundreds of factors when making decisions, or consulting reams of data to resolve every budget dilemma. But those requirements might be wasting time and muddling priorities.

So argues Donald Sull, a lecturer at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has also worked for McKinsey & Co. and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC. In the book Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World, out this week from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt HMHC -1.36%, he and Kathleen Eisenhardt of Stanford University claim that straightforward guidelines lead to better results than complex formulas.

Mr. Sull recently spoke with At Work about what companies can do to simplify, and why five basic rules can beat a 50-item checklist. Edited excerpts:

WSJ: Where, in the business context, might simple rules help more than a complicated approach?

Donald Sull: Well, a common decision that people face in organizations is capital allocation. In many organizations, there will be thick procedure books or algorithmsone company I worked with had an algorithm that had almost 100 variables for every project. These are very cumbersome approaches to making decisions and can waste time. Basically, any decision about how to focus resourceseither people or money or attentioncan benefit from simple rules.

WSJ: Can you give an example of how that simplification works in a company?

Sull: Theres a German company called Weima GmBH that makes shredders. At one point, they were getting about 10,000 requests and could only fill about a thousand because of technical capabilities, so they had this massive problem of sorting out which of these proposals to pursue.

They had a very detailed checklist with 40 or 50 items. People had to gather data and if there were gray areas the proposal would go to management. But because the data was hard to obtain and there were so many different pieces, people didnt always fill out the checklists completely. Then management had to discuss a lot of these proposals personally because there was incomplete data. So top management is spending a disproportionate amount of time discussing this low-level stuff.

Then Weima came up with guidelines that the frontline sales force and engineers could use to quickly decide whether a request fell in the yes,” “no or maybe category. They did it with five rules only, stuff like Weima had to collect at least 70% of the price before the unit leaves the factory.

After that, only the maybes were sent to management. This dramatically decreased the amount of time management spend evaluating these projectsthat time was decreased by almost a factor of 10.

Or, take Frontier Dental Laboratories in Canada. They were working with a sales force of two covering the entire North American market. Limiting their sales guidelines to a few factors that made someone likely to be receptive to Frontierstuff like dentists who have their own practice and dentists with a website”—helped focus their efforts and increase sales 42% in a declining market.

WSJ: Weima used five factorsis that the optimal number? And how do you choose which rules to follow?

Sull: You should have four to six rules. Any more than that, youll spend too much time trying to follow everything perfectly. The entire reason simple rules help is because they force you to prioritize the goals that matter. Theyre easy to remember, they dont confuse or stress you, they save time.

They should be tailored to your specific goals, so you choose the rules based on what exactly youre trying to achieve. And you should of course talk to others. Get information from different sources, and ask them for the top things that worked for them. But focus on whether what will work for you and your circumstances.

WSJ: Is there a business leader you can point to who has embraced the simple rules guideline?

Donald Sull: Lets look at when Alex Behring took over America Latina Logistica SARUMO3.BR +1.59%, the Brazilian railway and logistics company. With a budget of $15 million, how do you choose among $200 million of investment requests, all of which are valid?

The textbook business-school answer to this is that you run the NPV (net present value) test on each project and rank-order them by NPV. Alex Behring knows this. He was at the top of the class at Harvard Business School.

But insteadhe decided what the most important goals were. You cant achieve everything at once. In their case, their priorities were removing bottlenecks on growing revenues and minimizing upfront expenditure. So when allocating money, they had a bias for projects that both addressed the bottleneck problem and, for example, used existing tracks and trains.

Similarly, the global-health arm of the Gates Foundation gets many, many funding requests. But since they know that their goal is to have the most impact worldwide, they focus on projects in developing countries because thats where the money will stretch farther.

Summary of Equations

 

Discount rate to figure out the value of projects is called WACC (weighted average cost of capital)

 

WACC = weight of debt * cost of debt   + weight of equity *( cost of equity)

 

Wd= total debt / Total capital  = total borrowed / total capital

We= total equity/ Total capital  

Cost of debt = rate(nper, coupon, -(price – flotation costs), 1000)*(1-tax rate)

Cost of Equity = D1/(Po – Flotation Cost)  + g  

D1: Next period dividend; Po: Current stock price; g: dividend growth rate

Note: flotation costs = flotation percentage * price

 

Or if beta is given, use CAPM model (refer to chapter 13)

Cost of equity = risk free rate + beta *(market return – risk free rate)

           Cost of equity = risk free rate + beta * market risk premium

 

 In Class Exercise:

 A firm borrows money from bond market. The price they paid is $950 for the bond with 5% coupon rate and 10 years to mature. Flotation cost is $40.  For the new stocks, the expected dividend is $2 with a growth rate of 10% and price of $40. The flotation cost is $4. The company raises capital in equal proportions i.e. 50% debt and 50% equity (such as total $1m raised and half million is from debt market and the other half million is from stock market). Tax rate 34%. What is WACC (weighted average cost of capital, cost of capital)?  (Answer: 9.84%)

1)      Why does the firm raise capital from the financial market? Is there of any costs of doing so? What do you think?

2)      What is cost of debt?

 (Kd = rate(nper, coupon, -(price – flotation costs $)), 1000)*(1-tax rate))

3)      Cost of equity? (Ke = (D1/(Price – flotation costs $)) +g, or Ke = Rrf + Beta*MRP))

Why no tax adjustment like cost of debt?

4)      WACC=Cost of capital = Percentage of Debt * cost of debt + percentage of stock * cost of stock = Wd*Kd + We* Ke

Meaning: For a dollar raised in the capital market from debt holders and stockholders, the cost is WACC (or WACC * 1$ = several cents, and of course, the lower the better but many companies do not have good credits)

Chapter 13 Risk and Return

 

ppt

 

 

In class exercise Risk and Return

 

 

 

Equations (FYI):

1.    Expected return and standard deviation – Single Stock

Calculator

Given a probability distribution of returns, the expected return can be calculated using the following equation:

https://www.zenwealth.com/businessfinanceonline/RR/images/ER.gif

where

  • E[R] = the expected return on the stock,
  • N = the number of states,
  • pi = the probability of state i, and
  • Ri = the return on the stock in state i.

https://www.zenwealth.com/businessfinanceonline/RR/ExpectedReturn.html

Given an asset's expected return, its variance can be calculated using the following equation:

https://www.zenwealth.com/businessfinanceonline/RR/images/Var.gif

where

  • N = the number of states,
  • pi = the probability of state i,
  • Ri = the return on the stock in state i, and
  • E[R] = the expected return on the stock.

The standard deviation is calculated as the positive square root of the variance.

image031.gif

  • r12 = the correlation coefficient between the returns on stocks 1 and 2,
  • s12 = the covariance between the returns on stocks 1 and 2,
  • s1 = the standard deviation on stock 1, and
  • s2 = the standard deviation on stock 2.

image076.jpg

image022.jpg

  • s12 = the covariance between the returns on stocks 1 and 2,
  • N = the number of states,
  • pi = the probability of state i,
  • R1i = the return on stock 1 in state i,
  • E[R1] = the expected return on stock 1,
  • R2i = the return on stock 2 in state i, and
  • E[R2] = the expected return on stock 2.

4.    CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) model 

 CAPM calculator

·        What is Beta? Where to find Beta?

image018.gif

 

Beta is a measurement of a stock's price fluctuations, which is often called volatility, and is used by investors to gauge how quickly a stock's price will rise or fall. Because beta is calculated from past returns, it's not considered as reliable a tool to forecast rises in stock prices, and it is more commonly used by options traders. Beta compares the changes in a company's stock returns against the returns of the market as a whole. Online brokerages give investors extensive data on a stock's beta value, and some free financial news websites also show current beta measurements.

 

 

·         What Is the Capital Asset Pricing Model?

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected return for assets, particularly stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout finance for pricing risky securities and generating expected returns for assets given the risk of those assets and cost of capital.

 Ri = Rf + βi  *( Rm - Rf) ------ CAPM model

Ri = Expected return of investment

Rf = Risk-free rate

βi = Beta of the investment

Rm = Expected return of market

(Rm - Rf) = Market risk premium

Investors expect to be compensated for risk and the time value of money. The risk-free rate in the CAPM formula accounts for the time value of money. The other components of the CAPM formula account for the investor taking on additional risk.

 The beta of a potential investment is a measure of how much risk the investment will add to a portfolio that looks like the market. If a stock is riskier than the market, it will have a beta greater than one. If a stock has a beta of less than one, the formula assumes it will reduce the risk of a portfolio.

A stocks beta is then multiplied by the market risk premium, which is the return expected from the market above the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is then added to the product of the stocks beta and the market risk premium. The result should give an investor the required return or discount rate they can use to find the value of an asset.

The goal of the CAPM formula is to evaluate whether a stock is fairly valued when its risk and the time value of money are compared to its expected return.

For example, imagine an investor is contemplating a stock worth $100 per share today that pays a 3% annual dividend. The stock has a beta compared to the market of 1.3, which means it is riskier than a market portfolio. Also, assume that the risk-free rate is 3% and this investor expects the market to rise in value by 8% per year.

The expected return of the stock based on the CAPM formula is 9.5%.

The expected return of the CAPM formula is used to discount the expected dividends and capital appreciation of the stock over the expected holding period. If the discounted value of those future cash flows is equal to $100 then the CAPM formula indicates the stock is fairly valued relative to risk.

2017 Calculations

2 Interest expense, after tax = Interest expense × (1 – EITR)
848 × (1 – 20.20%) = 677

3 EBIT(1 – EITR) = Net income (loss) + Interest expense, after tax
3,033 + 677 = 3,710

4 RR = [EBIT(1 – EITR) – Interest expense (after tax) and dividends] ÷ EBIT(1 – EITR)
= [3,710 – 677] ÷ 3,710 = 0.82

5 ROIC = 100 × EBIT(1 – EITR) ÷ Total capital
= 100 × 3,710 ÷ 71,856 = 5.16%

6 g = RR × ROIC
