  & 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 don’t 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 bond’s 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 bond’s 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 company’s
  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. ¦ — Eric

 For class discussion: What conclusions can be drawn from
  the above information? Can we figure out the stock price
  of Wal-Mart based on dividend, with reasonable assumptions? Stock SplitsWal-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…

  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

  Corporation to generate the following free cash flows over the next five
  years: 
 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:  
   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)? 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,
  2.8561+2.8561*(1+6.34%)) /(12% - 6.34%)) = 40 Or use calculator at https://www.jufinance.com/dcf/    Part IV: How to pick stocks?

 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: 
 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 EquationThe 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: 
 Multiplying both sides of the previous equation by
  (1+g)/(1+r) gives: 
 We can then subtract the second equation from the first
  equation to get: 
 Rearranging and simplifying: 
 
 Finally,
  we can simplify further to get the Gordon growth model equatio  When Will Disney, Ford, and AMC Pay Dividends Again? (FYI) A lot of companies
  suspended their payouts in 2020. Some of them aren't coming back anytime
  soon. Rick Munarriz, Aug 21,
  2021 at 8:05AM https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/21/when-will-disney-ford-and-amc-pay-dividends-again/   Key Points Disney has returned
  to profitability sooner than expected, but long-term losses at Disney+ and
  the need to invest in content may keep its payout in check. Ford has been
  profitable in four of the past five quarters, and only the need to ramp up
  investing in electric vehicles could keep a dividend away. The number of AMC
  shares have increased fivefold over the past year, and that's not even the
  biggest reason its distributions aren't returning anytime soon. Income investors
  saw some of their dividend streams shrivel up last year. A lot of companies
  suspended their payouts in early 2020, bracing for the impact of the COVID-19
  crisis. The pandemic isn't fading in the rearview mirror the way it was two
  months ago, but it's fair to start wondering when some of the more prolific
  companies that nixed their distributions will return to cutting shareholder
  checks.  Disney (NYSE:DIS),
  Ford (NYSE:F), and AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC) are three widely
  followed stocks currently yielding 0%. Will that change? More importantly,
  does that have to change? All three stocks are trading sharply higher now
  than they were when they paused their payouts. Let's see how soon the
  dividends can return -- and how likely that is to happen in 2022.  Disney The House of Mouse was shelling out $0.88 a share twice a year
  until the pandemic hit. It wasn't a surprise. Its theme parks
  and cruise ships as well as the multiplexes it relied on for theatrical
  distribution of its popular films all closed down in mid-March of last year.  Disney braced for
  the worst, and reality proved to be substantially kinder. After a pair of
  quarterly losses during the early stretch of the crisis Disney has come
  through with three consecutive quarterly profits. Even its theme parks segment
  returned to profitability in its latest report.   The dividend has a good chance of returning at some point in the
  next year, but Disney is probably in no rush to make it happen.
  Disney is expected to continue to lose
  money until 2024, and it needs content to keep growing. Some analysts
  have argued that a better use of the $3.2 billion it returned to investors in
  2019 would be better served on new video content. It's fair, but it would
  still be a surprise if the distributions don't come back in Disney's fiscal
  2022 if the economy holds up with its end of the bargain. Ford The other name on
  this list that could beat Disney to the payout restarting lines is Ford. The
  automaker pioneer was a bigger draw to income investors than Disney given its
  much larger pre-pandemic yield. Ford has also been profitable in four of the
  past five quarters, one more period in the black than Mickey Mouse. If Ford doesn't return to its quarterly distributions soon it
  won't be because it lacks confidence in its near-term outlook.
  Ford is just investing in its reinvention. It has made a well-received push
  into electric vehicles, and it's a market darling again. The stock is
  trouncing the market in 2021 with a 42% year-to-date gain. If Ford thinks it
  will need to preserve more of its capital to ramp up its presence in electric
  vehicles it may not return to its chunky suspended dividend that would
  translate to a yield of nearly 5% at the current price. However, it would be
  surprising if it doesn't come back with at least a smaller token quarterly
  disbursement in the coming months.  AMC Entertainment It's not going to happen. A lot has
  happened at AMC since it last cut a dividend check. It's still losing money,
  and even if it wasn't, its share count has exploded nearly fivefold over the
  past year. In other words, it would cost AMC five times as much to pay its
  former per-share dividend.  There are clearly better uses for its money. It can
  buy back stock. It can update its theaters. It can make more investments in
  home streaming to make sure it's not left out of the migration away from the
  neighborhood multiplex. It can even invest in exclusive content. None of these
  options may seem feasible in the near term, with analysts expecting the red
  ink to continue until 2024. However, AMC has armed itself with a record $2
  billion in liquidity. It does have options to improve its turnaround chances,
  but you can be sure that it won't involve sending some of that cash to its
  shareholders in the form of dividend checks. Let them eat complimentary
  popcorn.  Disney and Ford should return to being dividend stocks in the
  next year. Payout out regular distributions just isn't part of the movie
  trailer at AMC. Google parent Alphabet
  announces 20-for-1 stock split PUBLISHED TUE, FEB 1 20224:19 PM ESTUPDATED WED, FEB 2 20223:11
  AM EST Jordan Novet https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/01/google-parent-alphabet-announces-20-for-1-stock-split.html KEY POINTS ·      
  Before the Alphabet rebrand in
  2015, Google effectively split its stock with the introduction of a third
  class of shares. ·      
  Alphabet stock has doubled in
  less than two years, and the new split would make it more affordable for more
  people.    Google parent Alphabet said
  its board approved plans for a 20-for-1 stock split on Tuesday as part of the
  technology company’s quarterly earnings statement. Alphabet stock rose more
  than 9% in after-market trading following the news. The move comes a year and a half after Apple most recently split
  its stock, giving three shares for each share that people owned. Alphabet and
  Apple are among the few technology companies that have seen their market
  capitalizations stretch into the trillions, as investors opted for profitable
  growth. Alphabet intends to split the
  Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the stock, according to the earnings
  statement. The change requires shareholder
  approval. Each shareholder at the close of business on July 1 will receive,
  on July 15, 19 additional shares for each share of the same class of stock
  they own. In 2012, Google added a third class of shares, Class C, with no
  voting rights. The company already had Class A shares, which carry one vote
  per share, and Class B shares, which are held closely by founders and early
  investors and carry 10 votes. The company maintained this stock structure
  through its 2015 rebrand to Alphabet. In a letter included the 2004 prospectus for Google’s initial public offering, Larry Page and Sergey Brin,
  Google’s founders, emphasized that they would always act “with
  the long-term welfare of our company and shareholders in mind.” They described the introduction of the third class as “effectively a stock split” in a
  2012 letter and said it was something many shareholders had been clamoring
  for. The 2-for-1 stock split came in 2014, before the switch to Alphabet. Page and Brin own a combined 12% of Alphabet’s
  Class C shares, which trade under the ticker symbol “GOOG” and have no voting rights, according to FactSet. The duo
  control 83% of the company’s Class B shares, which do not trade on open
  markets. Shares of Alphabet stock have
  become more expensive lately, at over
  $2,750 each at the time of market close on Tuesday, having doubled in price
  since May 2020. The lower price would mean that more investors might be able
  to afford buying entire, rather than fractional, shares of the advertising
  company. Were the split to happen as of Tuesday’s close, the cost of each share would go from
  $2,752.88 to $137.64, and each existing holder would get 19 additional shares
  for every one they own. -- CNBC’s Ari Levy contributed to this report. Stock Splits (FYI)

 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

  flows      -$800   $350    $350    $350   Answer: 1)   
  NPV:    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:  
 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:  
 3)   
  PI: profitable index 
 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:  
 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:  
 Note: All the cash flows in the above equation should be the
  present values.  
 A portion of the third year = (800-318.18-289.26)/262.96 =
  0.72 So it takes 2 + 0.72 = 2.72 years to pay off the debt of $800.

  Rules’ for Running a BusinessFrom 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, too—analyzing 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 algorithms–one 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 resources—either people
  or money or attention—can benefit from simple rules. WSJ: Can you give an example of
  how that simplification works in a company? Sull: There’s
  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 didn’t 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
  projects–that 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 Frontier—stuff 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 factors—is
  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, you’ll 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. They’re
  easy to remember, they don’t confuse or stress you,
  they save time. They should be tailored to your specific goals, so you choose
  the rules based on what exactly you’re 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: Let’s 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 instead 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 that’s 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) 
 Solution: Cost
  of debt = rate(10, 50, -(950-40), 1000)*(1-34%) Cost
  of/equity = 2/(40-4)+10% WACC
  = 0.5*cost of debt + 0.5*cost of equity

  Pricing Model) model  ·        What is Beta? Where to find Beta? 
 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 stock’s 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 stock’s 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. (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capm.asp)   ·       SML – Security Market Line

     ************ What is Free Cash Flow ************** What is free cash flow (video) What is free cash
  flow (FCF)? Why is it important? •      
  FCF is the amount of cash available from operations for
  distribution to all investors (including stockholders and debtholders) after
  making the necessary investments to support operations. •      
  A company’s value depends on the amount of FCF it can generate. What are the five
  uses of FCF? 1. Pay interest on debt. 2. Pay back principal on debt. 3. Pay dividends. 4. Buy back stock. 5. Buy nonoperating assets (e.g.,
  marketable securities, investments in other companies, etc.) 
 What
  are operating current assets? •      
  Operating current assets are the CA
  needed to support operations. •      
  Op CA include: cash, inventory,
  receivables. •      
  Op CA exclude: short-term investments,
  because these are not a part of operations. What
  are operating current liabilities? •      
  Operating current liabilities are the
  CL resulting as a normal part of operations. •      
  Op CL include: accounts payable and
  accruals. •      
  Op CL exclude: notes payable, because
  this is a source of financing, not a part of operations.
