Taxation etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Regulatory Framework
FERA/FEMA
MRTP/COMPETION POLICY
COMPANYS ACT ( salient features)

FERA/FEMA
FERA(73) : for MNC operating in India.
More than 40% share holding has to be
reported.
Delay in implementation, (by 1979 only
50% of the companies diluted its equity
holdings below 40%).
Liberalization put forth a new Industrial
and trade Policy (91) and in 1993
ordinance to amend FERA was passed.

The Goal of Financial

Management
What are firm decision-makers hired to do?

General Motors is not in the business of making

automobiles. General Motors is in the business
of making money.
--Alfred P. Sloan

Goal Of Financial
Management
What should be the goal of a corporation?
Maximize profit?
Minimize costs?
Maximize market share?
Maximize the current value of the companys
stock?

The Goal
Maximize profit Are we talking about long-run
or short-run profits? Do we mean accounting
profits or some measure of cash flow?
Minimize costs We can minimize costs today
by not purchasing new equipment or delaying
maintenance, but this may not be in the best
interest of the firm or its owners.
Maximize market share This has been a
strategy of many of the dotcom companies. They
issued stock and then used it primarily for
advertising to increase the number of hits to
their web sites. Even though many of the
companies have a huge market share (i.e.
Amazon) they still do not have positive earnings
and their owners are not happy (1996).

Maximize the current value of the

companys stock
There is no short run vs. long run here. The stock
price should incorporate expectations about the
future of the company and consider the trade-off
between short-run profits and long-run profits.
The purpose of a for-profit business should be to
make money for its owners. Maximizing the
current stock price increases the wealth of the
owners of the firm.
This is analogous to maximizing owners equity
for firms that do not have publicly traded stock.
Non-profits can also follow the same principle, but
their owners are the constituencies that they
were created to help.

Capital Market

EQUITY MARKETS

Common Stock
Ownership in a Corporation
One vote per share.
Have a residual (last) claim on income
and assets in liquidation, thus a
riskier position than bonds and
preferred stockholders.
Shareholders liability for the debts
of the corporation is limited to their
investment in the common stock.

Common Stock (concluded)

Shareholders return is derived from dividends
declared by the board of directors and from
market appreciation in the value of the stock.
Common shareholders may vote their shares to
elect the members of the board of directors.
Members of the board of directors can be
elected by cumulative voting or straight voting.

Preferred Stock
A Preferred or prior claim on earnings and
assets compared to common stock
Dividends paid ahead of common if declared.
Preferred stockholders are usually excluded
from voting for board of directors and
shareholder issues.
Many corporations buy preferred stock.

Convertible Securities
Convertible preferred stock -- convertible to
common stock at specific common price or
number of shares (conversion ratio).
Dividends received until conversion
Investor may participate in growth of firm.

Convertible bonds -- convertible to common

stock at specific common price or number of
shares (conversion ratio).
Pays fixed bond rate until conversion.
Provides potential for higher returns for investors.

Primary Market for Equities

The first time shares are sold in the market is an
unseasoned offering or an initial public offering
(IPO); additional shares may be sold later as a
seasoned offering.
Equities may be:
Sold directly to investors by the firm.
Purchased and sold at a higher price (underwriters
spread) by investment bankers in an underwritten
offering.
Sold to existing shareholders in a rights offering.

Primary Market for Equities

(concluded)
The size of the underwriters spread
depends on the underwriters level of
uncertainty concerning the shares market
price.

The Secondary Market for

Equity Securities
Subsequent Trading in Securities after
primary issue
Stock may trade on:
Exchanges.
Over the counter

Provides investor liquidity

The Secondary Market for

Equity Securities (concluded)
Stable prices are related to the extent of:
Breadth of the market or the number of varied traders
of the stock.
Depth of the market or the extent to which there are
conditional orders to buy and sell below and above
the current price, respectively.
Resiliency of the market or the ability of the market to
attract buyer/sellers when the stock prices
decreases/increases, respectively.

Secondary Markets
Bring Buyers/ Sellers Together Four Ways:
A buyer may incur search costs and find a seller
on their own, called a direct search.
A broker may bring buyer and seller together,
charging a commission.
A dealer may sell/buy (bid/ask) securities from an
inventory of securities, reducing search costs.
The dealers return is the bid/ask spread.
An auction market allocates the selling shares to
the highest bidder, providing a buyer/seller.

The Size of Dealer Bid/ask

Spreads:
are proportionately higher for low priced
stocks due to fixed costs of operations.
are higher for trades of a few shares.
are higher for a large block trade; a liquidity
service is performed.
are narrower with more frequent trading,
where the costs of providing liquidity are less.
are wider with traders with insider information,
where the dealer may have to incur the cost
of price discovery, or buying high, selling low!

INDIAN STOCK MARKET CRASH (Times of India)
Indian stocks were in virtual free-fall on Monday, wiping out 40 billion dollars
in market value, amid frenzied selling on fears a new Congress-led
government will slow the pace of reform in Asia's fastest-growing economy.
The Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange suspended
trading after their benchmark indices fell 15.5 percent and 17.5 percent,
respectively. Both racked up their biggest point drop ever and sank to their
lowest levels since the Big Bull crisis.

To conclude
Financial management is more influence
by external factors than firm specific
problems
CFOs/CEOs are expected to add value to
the investments trusted upon them rather
than just showing profits .
Capital market in India is volatile and
shows seasonality.

Time Value of Money (contd.)

Session # 3
Financial Management - I

Problem set #1 : solutions

Determine the future values utilizing a time preference
rate of 9 %:
(i) The future value of Rs. 15,000 invested now for a period
of 4 yrs.
1.

(ii) The future value at the end of 5 yrs of an investment of

Rs 6000 now and of an investment of Rs. 6000 one
year from now.
(iii) The future value at the end of 8 years of an annual
deposit of Rs.18,000 each year.
(iv) The future value at the end of 8 years of an annual
deposit of Rs. 18000 at the beginning of each year.
(v) The future value at the end of 8 years of a deposit of Rs
18000 at the end of the first four years and withdrawal
of Rs.12, 000 per year at the end of year five through
seven.

Solution # 1
(i) time preference (discount rate) = 9%
investments = 15,000
time period = 4 yrs.
CVF(4,9%) = 1.4116 (appox.)
FV = 15,000*(1.09)4 = 15,000* 1.4116
= 21,173.72
(ii) Investments = 6000 (now) & 6000( 1 yr after)
period (eoy) = 5 yrs
compouning period = 5 & 4 yrs
CVF = 1.5386 & 1.4116
FV = 9231.74 & 8469.49

Solution # 1
(iii) Annual investments (eoy) = 18,000
time period = 8 yrs.
CVAF = 11.0285 (appox.)
FV = 18,000* 11.0285 = 198,513
(iv) Investments (b0y)= 18000
period = 8 yrs
CVAF (annuity due) = 12.0210
FV = 18000 * 12.0210 = 216378

Solution#2
Rate of interest = 15 %
sum received now = 100
period = 10 yr
PVAF = 5.0188
therefore 1/ PVAF = 0.1993
100 = 5.0188A
Hence A = .1993*100= 19.93
For Annuity due , PVAF(1+.15) = 5.7716
Hence A = 100/5.7716 = 17.33

Solution#3
Needed future sum after 15 yr= 300,000
periods = 15 yrs
interest rate = 12%
CVAF = 37.28
Therefore , A*37.28 = 300000
A = 8047.22

Solution#4
Price of the house = 500,000
Cash payment = 100,000
Balance = 400,000
Installment period = 20 yrs
Interest rate = 12%
PVAF = 7.4694
A*7.4694 = 400,000
A = 53551.51 (appox)

Solution # 5
Answer??

Other forms of Annuity

Perpetuity: it is an Annuity that occurs
indefinitely. (i.e. without a maturity)
P = A/I
E.g. , an investor expects a perpetual sum of
Rs 500 annually from his investments.
What is the present value of this perpetuity
if the interest rate is 10%.
soln : P = 500/0.10 = Rs 5000.

Other forms of Annuity

Present value of a growing Annuity: the
periodic cash flows grow at a compounding
rate. E.g. Arun gets an annual salary of Rs
1,00,000 with the provision for an annual
increment of 10%.
P = A/(1+g)[ ( 1-(1+i*)-n) /i*]
Where, i* = (i-g)/(1+g)

An Example
A dividend stream commencing one year
hence at Rs 66 is expected to grow at
10% annum for 15 Yrs and then ceases. If
the discount rate is 21%, what is the PV of
the expected series.
soln: P = A/(1+g)[ ( 1-(1+i*)-n) /i*]
Where, i* = (i-g)/(1+g)
i* =(0.21-0.10)/1.10 = 0.10
A/(1+g) = 66/1.10 = 60

Example (contd.)
Refer to table of PVAF (15,10%)= 7.606
P = 60 * 7.606 = Rs 456.36

Some terms
Capital Recovery: it is the annuity of an
investment for a specified time at a
given rate.
If you make an investment today for a
given period of time at a specified rate
of interest you may like to know the
annual income generated from it.
The reciprocal of PVAF is CRF ( capital
recovery factor).

An Example
If you plan to invest Rs 10,000 today for a period
of 4 years. The interest rate is 10%. How mush
income per year should you receive to recover
your investment?
Soln : PV = A (PVAFn,i)
A = PV (CRFn,i)
A = 10,000 (0.3155) = Rs 3155

problems
Suppose you have taken a 3 yr loan of Rs
10,000 @ 9% from your employer to buy a
motorcycle. If your employer requires
three equal end-of-year repayment ,then
what will be the annual installments?

problems
PV = A (PVAF n,i)
using the given values, we obtain..
10000 = A (2.531)
A = Rs 3951
i.e. paying Rs 3951 each year, for three yrs ,
you shall completely pay off your loan with
9% interest rate.

problems
Exactly ten yrs from now Sri Chand will
start receiving a pension of Rs 3000 a
year. The payment will continue for 16 yrs.
How much is the pension worth now, if Sri
Chands interest rate is 10%?

problems
Soln: Sri Chand will receive the first payment at
the end of 10th Year and last payment at the end
of 25th year.
Assuming an Annuity for 25 yrs @ 10%, PVAF25
= 9.077 but we know that he will not receive
anything till the end of 9th yr. therefore we
subtract PVAF @ 10% for 9 yrs.
i.e. PVAF25 PVAF9 = 9.077 5.759 =3.318
Therefore, the present value of the pension will be
= 3.318* 3000 = Rs 9954

problems
How long will it take to double your money
if it grows at 12% annually ?
If a person deposits Rs 1000 on an
account that pays him 10% for the first 5
yrs and 13% for the following eight yrs,
what is the annual compound rate of
interest for the 13 yr period?

problems
Amount = 1000
interest rate for (1-5)yr = 10%
interest rate for (6-13) yrs = 13%
compound value for 13 yr period
= 1000 * (1.15)5 * (1.13)8 = 4281.45
the compound interest rate will be
= [ ( 4281.45/1000)1/13 1 ] = 11.84%

problems
A finance company makes an offer to
deposit a sum of Rs 1100 and then
receive a return of Rs 80 p.a. perpetually.
Should this offer be accepted if the rate of
interest is 8% ? Will the decision change if
the rate of interest is 5%?

Problems
The person should accept the offer if the
present value (PV) of the perpetuity is
more than the initial deposit of Rs 1100
If the rate of interest is 8%
PV = A/i = 80/.08 = RS 1000 ( reject)
If the rate of interest is 5 %
PV = 80/.05 = Rs 1600( accept)

problems
What is the minimum amount which a
person should be ready to accept today
from a debtor who otherwise has to pay a
sum of Rs 5000 today, Rs 6000, Rs 8000
and Rs 9000 and Rs 10000 at the end of
yr 1,2,3,4 respectively from today. The
rate of interest is 14%.

problems
Soln : the minimum amt. is the PV of the series of amt.

A company is expected to declare a
dividend of Rs2 at the end of first year
from now and this dividend is expected to
grow 10% every year . What is the PV of
this stream of dividends if the rate of
interest is 15%?

problems
Soln : PV = A /(i - g). Eqn #1
it is a perpetuity which is growing @ 10% p.a.
The formula
P = A/(1+g)[ ( 1-(1+i*)-n) /i*]
Here, n = , hence we get Eqn # 1
Solving for PV we obtain,
PV = 2/(0.15-0.10) = Rs 40

summary
The concept of TVM refers to the fact that
the money received today is different in its
worth from the money receivable some
time in the future.
Some business & personal decisions like
Capital recovery, Loan Amortization ,
returns from bonds etc can be effectively
determined using TVM.

CAPM ( Capital Asset Pricing Model)

Concept of returns
Required Returns (Ex post) are
statistically derived from historical
observations.
Expected Returns (Ex ante) are
statistically derived expected values from
future estimates of observations.

Probability & Returns

In the world of uncertainty , the expected
returns may or may not materialize.
The expected rate of return for any
asset is the weighted average rate of
return using the probability of each rate of
return as the weight.

E.g.:- consider the range of returns under the

possible states of economic conditions. What
rate of return can you expect ?

Risk & Returns

Risk : the chance that the actual
outcome from an investment will differ
from the expected outcome.
Investment decisions always involve a
trade off between risk & return.

Sources of Risk

Factors which make any financial

asset risky are:
1. Business Risk: industry/
environmental factors involved.
2. Market Risk: variability in returns due
to the fluctuations in the securities
market.

Sources of Risk
3. Liquidity Risk: ease with which a
security can be bought or sold without
much transaction cost.
4. Financial Risk: influenced by the
degree of financial leverage

Sources of Risk
5. Interest Rate Risk: changes in the
interest rates.
6. Inflation Risk: change in the inflation
influences the purchasing power of
the investors.

Measuring Risk
Risk of an asset can be measured in
terms of its variance.
More the deviation from the expected
value , more riskier the asset.

R89 = 56.2%,R90 = 123.4%,R91 = 52.2%,R92 = 57%
Rm = 1/5 {-28.7+56.2+123.4+52.2+57} = 52%
To determine the riskness of the share, we calculate the
variation of the returns :
2 =1/5{ (-28.7-52)2 + (56.2-52)2 + (123.4 52)2 + (52.2-52)2 +
(57-52)2} = 2330.63 or S.D = 48.28

as a measure of risk
Standard deviation (i) measures total, or standalone, risk.
The larger i is, the lower the probability that
actual returns will be closer to expected returns.
Larger i is associated with a wider probability
distribution of returns.
Difficult to compare standard deviations, because
return has not been accounted for.

Capital Market Theory

Markowitz Model
Markowitz model generates an efficient
frontier,which is a set of efficient portfolios.
A portfolio is said to be efficient if it offers the
maximum expected return for a given level of
risk or minimum risk for a given level of expected
returns.

Markowitz Diversification
Although there are no securities with
perfectly negative correlation, almost all
assets are less than perfectly correlated.
Therefore, you can reduce total risk (p)
through diversification. If we consider
many assets at various weights, we can
generate the efficient frontier.

Risk revisited

Efficient Frontier
The Efficient Frontier represents all the
dominant portfolios in risk/return space.
There is one portfolio (M) which can be
considered the market portfolio if we
analyze all assets in the market. Hence,
M would be a portfolio made up of assets
that correspond to the real relative weights
of each asset in the market.

Efficient Frontier (continued)

Assume you have 20 assets.
you can calculate all possible portfolio
combinations.
The Efficient Frontier will consist of those
portfolios with the highest return given the
same level of risk or minimum risk given
the same return (Dominance Rule)

 Indifference curves reflect an investors

attitude toward risk as reflected in his or her
risk/return tradeoff function. They differ
among investors because of differences in
risk aversion.
An investors optimal portfolio is defined by

What is the CAPM?

The CAPM is an equilibrium model that
specifies the relationship between risk and
required rate of return for assets held in welldiversified portfolios.
Derived using principles of diversification with
simplified assumptions
Markowitz, Sharpe, Lintner and Mossin are
researchers credited with its development.

E(r) = rf + (E (rM) rf)

What are the assumptions

of the CAPM?
Investors all think in terms of
a single holding period.
All investors have identical expectations.
Investors can borrow or lend unlimited
amounts at the risk-free rate.
(More...)

What are the assumptions

of the CAPM?
There are no taxes and no
transactions costs.
All investors are price takers, that is,
investors buying and selling wont
influence stock prices.
Quantities of all assets are given and
fixed.

What impact does kRF have on

the efficient frontier?
When a risk-free asset is added to the
feasible set, investors can create
portfolios that combine this asset with a
portfolio of risky assets.
The straight line connecting kRF with M,
the tangency point between the line and
the old efficient set, becomes the new
efficient frontier.

What is the Security Market Line (SML)?

The CML gives the risk/return

relationship for efficient portfolios.
The Security Market Line (SML), also
part of the CAPM, gives the risk/return
relationship for individual stocks.

The SML Equation

The measure of risk used in the SML is
the beta coefficient of company i, .
Where,
= [COV(ri,rm)] / m2
Slope, SML = E(rm) - rf
= market risk premium
SML = rf + [E(rm) - rf]

What are our conclusions

regarding the CAPM?
Recent studies have questioned its
validity.
Investors seem to be concerned with
both market risk and stand-alone risk.
Therefore, the SML may not produce a
correct estimate of ki.
(More...)

 CAPM/SML concepts are based on

expectations, yet betas are calculated
using historical data.
A companys
historical data may not reflect investors
expectations about future riskiness.
Other models are being developed that
will one day replace the CAPM, but it
still provides a good framework for
thinking about risk and return.

The Logic of the Weighted Average

Cost of Capital
The use of debt impacts the ability to use
equity, and vice versa, so the weighted
average cost must be used to evaluate
projects, regardless of the specific financing
used to fund a particular project.

Basic Definitions
Capital Component
Types of capital used by firms to raise
money
kd = before tax interest cost
kdT = kd(1-T) = after tax cost of debt
kps = cost of preferred stock
ks = cost of retained earnings

After-Tax Cost of Debt

The relevant cost of new debt
The yield to maturity on outstanding LT debt
is often used as a measure
Taking into account the tax deductibility of

Why is there a cost for retained

earnings?
Earnings can be reinvested or paid out
as dividends.
Investors could buy other securities,
earn a return.
Thus, there is an opportunity cost if
earnings are retained.

Three ways to determine cost of

common equity, ks

1. CAPM: ks = kRF + (kM kRF)b.

2. DCF: ks = D1/P0 + g.
3. Own-Bond-Yield-Plus-Risk
Premium: ks = kd + RP.

Whats the cost of common

equity based on the CAPM?
kRF = 7%, RPM = 6%, b = 1.2.
ks = kRF + (kM kRF )b.
= 7.0% + (6.0%)1.2 = 14.2%.

Whats the DCF cost of common

equity, ks? Given: D0 = Rs 4.19;
P0 = Rs 50; g = 5%.

Suppose the company has

been earning 15% on equity
(ROE = 15%) and retaining
35% (dividend payout = 65%),
and this situation is expected
to continue.
Whats the expected future g?

Retention growth rate:

g = (1 Payout)(ROE)

= 0.35(15%)
= 5.25%.

Here (1 Payout) = Fraction retained.

Could DCF methodology be applied

if g is not constant?

YES, nonconstant g stocks are

expected to have constant g at
some point, generally in 5 to 10
years.
But calculations get complicated.

Find ks using the own-bond-yieldplus-risk-premium method.

(kd = 10%, RP = 4%.)
ks = kd + RP
= 10.0% + 4.0% = 14.0%
This RP CAPM RP.
Produces ballpark estimate of ks.

Why is the cost of retained earnings

cheaper than the cost of issuing new
common stock?
1. When a company issues new
common stock they also have to pay
flotation costs to the underwriter.
2. Issuing new common stock may
send a negative signal to the capital
markets, which may depress stock
price.

Suppose new common stock had a

flotation cost of 15%. What is ke?

= Rs 50(1 0.15) + 5.0%

=

Rs 4.40
Rs 42.50

+ 5.0% = 15.4%.

Whats the firms WACC

(ignoring flotation costs)?
WACC = wdkd(1 T) + wpkp + wcks
= 0.3(10%)(0.6) + 0.1(9%) + 0.6(14%)
= 1.8% + 0.9% + 8.4% = 11.1%.

What factors influence a companys

composite WACC?

Market conditions.
Level of interest rates
Tax rates
The firms capital structure and dividend
policy.
The firms investment policy. Firms with
riskier projects generally have a higher
WACC.

Should the company use the composite

WACC as the hurdle rate for each of its
projects?*
NO! The composite WACC reflects the
risk of an average project undertaken by
the firm. Therefore, the WACC only
represents the hurdle rate for a typical
project with average risk.
Different projects have different risks. The
projects WACC should be adjusted to
reflect the projects risk.

A company is expected to declare a
dividend of Rs2 at the end of first year
from now and this dividend is expected to
grow 10% every year . What is the PV of
this stream of dividends if the rate of
interest is 15%?

problems
Soln : PV = A /(i - g). Eqn #1
it is a perpetuity which is growing @ 10% p.a.
The formula
P = A/(1+g)[ ( 1-(1+i*)-n) /i*]
Here, n = , hence we get Eqn # 1
Solving for PV we obtain,
PV = 2/(0.15-0.10) = Rs 40

Other forms of Annuity

Perpetuity: it is an Annuity that occurs
indefinitely. (i.e. without a maturity)
P = A/I
E.g. , an investor expects a perpetual sum of
Rs 500 annually from his investments.
What is the present value of this perpetuity
if the interest rate is 10%.
soln : P = 500/0.10 = Rs 5000.

Other forms of Annuity

Present value of a growing Annuity: the
periodic cash flows grow at a compounding
rate. E.g. Arun gets an annual salary of Rs
1,00,000 with the provision for an annual
increment of 10%.
P = A/(1+g)[ ( 1-(1+i*)-n) /i*]
Where, i* = (i-g)/(1+g)

An Example
A dividend stream commencing one year
hence at Rs 66 is expected to grow at
10% annum for 15 Yrs and then ceases. If
the discount rate is 21%, what is the PV of
the expected series.
soln: P = A/(1+g)[ ( 1-(1+i*)-n) /i*]
Where, i* = (i-g)/(1+g)
i* =(0.21-0.10)/1.10 = 0.10
A/(1+g) = 66/1.10 = 60

Intrinsic Value
Intrinsic Value - The present value of the
expected future cash flows discounted at the
decision makers required rate of return

The size and timing of the expected future

cash flows
The individuals required rate of return
Note that the intrinsic value of an asset can be,
and often is, different for each individual (thats
what makes markets work)

Bond valuation : terminology

1. Par value : it is the value stated on the
face of the bond. It represents the
amount the firm borrows & promises to
repay at the time of maturity.
2. Coupon rate & Interest: a bond carries
a specific IR which is called the coupon
rate. The interest payable to the
bondholder is
= (par value of the bond * coupon rate)
3. Maturity Date - This is the date after
which the bond no longer exists

Calculating the Value of a Bond

The value of the bond can be expressed as :

INT
INT
M
VB =
+ ... +
+
1
N
N
(1 + k d )
(1 + k d )
(1 + k d )
Where,
INT = annual coupon payment
Kd = req. rate of return/discount rate
N = time period.
VB = INT *PVAFn,i + M* PVFn,i

Yield To Maturity
Yield to maturity (YTM) : rate of return earned on
bond held until maturity
The IR when:
Price of the bond = PV of all cash flow
receivables
Eg : par value : Rs 1000, CI = 9%,time to maturity
= 8and currently priced at Rs 800. what will be
the yield to maturity?
sol: An appox.
= INT + (M-P)/n
0.4M + 0.6 P
= 13.06%

examples
#1: the govt. is proposing to sell a 5-year
bond of Rs 1000 @ 8% IR per annum. The
bond amount will be amortized equally
over its life. If an investor has a minimum
required rate of return of 7%, what is the
bonds present value for him?

solution
Sol #1:the amt of interest will go on reducing
because of amortization. The amount of
interest for five years will be :
Rs 1000 * 0.08 = Rs 80
Rs (1000 200)*.08 = Rs 64
P = 280/(1+0.07) +264/(1+0.07)2
+216/(1+0.07)5
= Rs 1025.66

Concept of returns
Mean Returns (Ex post) are statistically
derived from historical observations.
Expected Returns (Ex ante) are
statistically derived expected values from
future estimates of observations.

Sources of Risk

Factors which make any financial

asset risky are:
1. Business Risk: industry/
environmental factors involved.
2. Market Risk: variability in returns due
to the fluctuations in the securities
market.

Sources of Risk
3. Liquidity Risk: ease with which a
security can be bought or sold without
much transaction cost.
4. Financial Risk: influenced by the
degree of financial leverage

Sources of Risk
5. Interest Rate Risk: changes in the
interest rates.
6. Inflation Risk: change in the inflation
influences the purchasing power of
the investors.

Measuring Risk
Risk of an asset can be measured in
terms of its variance.
More the deviation from the expected
value , more riskier the asset.

What is the Security Market Line (SML)?

The CML gives the risk/return

relationship for efficient portfolios.
The Security Market Line (SML), also
part of the CAPM, gives the risk/return
relationship for individual stocks.

The SML Equation

The measure of risk used in the SML is
the beta coefficient of company i, .
Where,
= [COV(ri,rm)] / m2
Slope, SML = E(rm) - rf
= market risk premium
SML = rf + [E(rm) - rf]

ABOUT BETA ..

If beta = 1.0, stock is average risk.

If beta > 1.0, stock is riskier than
average.
If beta < 1.0, stock is less risky than
average.
Most stocks have betas in the range of
0.5 to 1.5.

BETA FOR Portfolios.(?)

Betas of individual securities are not

good estimators of future risk.
Betas of portfolios of 10 or more
randomly selected stocks are
reasonably stable.
Past portfolio betas are good estimates
of future portfolio volatility.

Beta = Cov(i,m)/ m2 = 0.12/.1386 = 0.86

Using CAPM, R(i) = R(f) +*(R(m) R(f)) = 12%
Expected return (18%) > req. return (12%),hence the
investment can be accepted.

1. Cor (s,m)=0.7
2. Cor (s,m)=0.4
3. Cor (s,m)= -0.25

Solution # 5
Beta = Cov(s,m)/ m2 = sm cor(s,m)/ m2

The expected return on the market portfolio & the

risk free rate of return are estimated to be 13% &
9% resp. ABC Ltd. Has Just paid a dividend of Rs.
2per share with annual growth rate of 7%. The
sensitivity index (beta) of ABC has been found to be
1.2
Find out the equilibrium price for the shares of ABC
Ltd.
Examine the change in the price if
(i) risk premium increases by 2%
(ii) expected growth rate of dividends increases to
10%
(iii) market sensitivity index becomes 1.3 for the
script.

Solution # 6

Using CAPM, R(i) = R(f) +*(R(m) R(f))

the req. rate of return(R) = 9% +1.2*(13-9)=13.8%
Now , R = 13.8%
D = Rs. 2
g = 7%
1. The equilibrium price (P) = D(1+g)/ (R-g)Annuity
due
or, P = 2.14/ .068 = Rs. 31.47

Solution # 6
2.

Effect on price :
(i) if the risk premium increases by 2%,
Then R = 13.8% +2%
Therefore the equilibrium price (P) = Rs. 24.32
(ii) g=10%
We obtain, P =Rs. 57.9
(iii) Beta = 1.3 then, R = 14.2%
Hence , P = Rs. 29.72

CAPM-Assumptions
Individual investors are price takers.
Single-period investment horizon.
Investments are limited to traded financial
assets.
No taxes and transaction costs.

Assumptions (contd)
Information is costless and available to all
investors.
Investors are rational mean-variance
optimizers.
There are homogeneous expectations.

What are our conclusions

regarding the CAPM?
Recent studies have questioned its
validity.
Investors seem to be concerned with
both market risk and stand-alone risk.

The Logic of the Weighted Average

Cost of Capital
The use of debt impacts the ability to use
equity, and vice versa, so the weighted
average cost must be used to evaluate
projects, regardless of the specific financing
used to fund a particular project.

Basic Definitions
Capital Component
Types of capital used by firms to raise
money
kd = before tax interest cost
kdT = kd(1-T) = after tax cost of debt
kps = cost of preferred stock
ks = cost of retained earnings

After-Tax Cost of Debt

The relevant cost of new debt
The yield to maturity on outstanding LT debt
is often used as a measure

mistakes to avoid
Use of current cost of debt : the interest
rate the firm would pay if it issues the debt
today.
when determining the market risk
premium, use current rate in both the
cases . i.e. current risk free rate & current
