Chapter 2
-CAPM: how risk affects return
-Expected Return (on investment): mean value of its probability distribution of returns; greater the probability return will be below expected, greater the stand-alone risk
-Risk Averse: he/she must be compensated for holding risky assets
-Asset has 2 risk types: Diversifiable risk can be eliminated by diversification; market risk cannot be eliminated
-Market risk measured by standard deviation of returns on portfolio consisting of all stocks
-Relevant Risk: individual asset’s risk contribution to diversified portfolio
-Beta: measures how stock’s returns move relative to market (avg. = 1.0)
-Ri = Rrf + (RMp)Bi, Market Risk Premium (RMp) = Market return – Risk free

Chapter 4
-Bond: long term promissory note
-Zero Coupon Bond: issued at discount, no payment
-Call provision: issuing corp can redeem bonds prior to maturity at call premium; typically happens if interest rates fall below coupon rate
-Value of bond: present value of annuity + present value of lump sum
-Nominal interest rate (Rd) = r* + IP + DRP + LP + MRP r* = real risk free, IP = inflation premiums, DRP = default risk, LP = liquidity,
MRP = maturity risk
-Yield Curve: graph of relationship between yields on securities and securities’ maturities
-Normal curve upward sloping, however, curve can slope downward if inflation rate is expected o decline. Curve can be humped meaning interest rates on medium-term maturities are higher than rates on both short and long term maturities
-Expectations Theory: yields on long-term bonds reflect expected future interest rates

Chapter 9
-Forecast financial requirements with FFS (forecasted financial statements) method or AFN (additional funds needed) method; for changing conditions FFS is more reliable
-Determine AFN by estimating amount of new assets necessary to support forecasted level of sales, then subtract spontaneous funds generated from operations

    The internal rate of return (IRR) is defined as the discount rate that results in a net present value of zero. IRR uses the time value of money method to calculate the present value of the projects cash inflows and outflows. Cost of capital, or minimum required rate of return, is compared to the IRR to evaluate a project. The IRR needs to be equal to or greater than cost of capital for the project to be acceptable. If the IRR is less than the cost of capital, the project should be rejected. When using IRR the cost of capital is referred to as the “hurdle rate”.…

Under the CAPM, the market portfolio is a well-diversified, efficient portfolio representing the non-diversifiable risk in the economy. Therefore, investments have similar risk if they have the same sensitivity to market risk, as measured by their beta with the market portfolio.…
