Risk and Return qos - “prcepin lis cape, side should be al to: Every investor aims to maximize return and vaand ho coneepl and components of rtums, minimize risk on her/his investment. To "ea dng prod retums achieve these goals, the investor should be able to correctly perceive what risk and return mean and how they arc measured. The main. purpose of this chapter is, therefore, to present the concepts and measurement of risk and return on an individual asset. This chapter, first, presents the concept of return along with its components. Then this chapter extends to a discussion on the different measures of investment return. Finally, this chapter presents the concept of risk, sources of risk, and techniques of measuring risk for a single asset by using variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation, "acs the concept and calculate of athmatic mean, mean and intemal rate of retum. 4 Utestand tho rlatinship between nominal and real tm. «slate the expected retum. «+ Usedtlerent measures to measure risk in investment, ———ee“reorrr”ersestw'reeor— ms nm tee) sonapters 193 Hence, ‘The expected return for Investment A, E(Ry) = 9% Standard deviation of returns of Investment A (o,) = [74 = 8.60% 1) =V74 = 8: For Investment B: Probability | . x a a Rexe IRe- E(R)} Pike ECR) ” ™% Be 968 a be 2 2 288 02 8 3 : a ao 1 8 128 aa 3 28 1568 Eki) = 3% aan 286 Hence, ‘The expected return for Investment B, E(Rs) = 13% Standard deviation of retums of Investment B (1) = 7256 = 17.20% b.

Hi Illustrative Problems _—————————————————————— Wustration 5.1 Assume that you purchased a share of stock for Rs 50 one year ago, sold it today fy Fuge eum andra Rs 60, and during the year received dividend payments totaling Rs 270, Calclse ae the following: a, Current income, b. Capital gain or loss, c. Total rupee retum and te holding period return, Solution: Given: Beginning purchase price (Ps) = Rs 50 Cash dividend (C1) = Rs 2.70 Ending selling price (P,) = Rs 60 a, We have received a total dividend income of Rs 2.70 from the stock. Thus, Current income = Cash dividend = Rs 2.70 b. During one year of holding period, the stock price has been increased from Rs to Rs 60. Thus, capital gain for this period is: - Capital gain = Ending stock price ~ Beginning stock price =Rs60-Rs50= R510 Total rupee return is the total of current income and capital gain and is works out as follows: Total rupee return = Current income + Capital gain = Rs 270+ Rs 10=Rs 12.70 ‘The holding period return is the total rupee return expressed as a percentage beginning investment.

If you buy this stock you expect to sell the stock in one year for Rs 380. Which stock will provide the better annualized holding period return? Ignore time value of money. Solution: Given: Stock A: Stock B: Quarterly dividend = Rs 4 Holding period = 3 months Beginning price = Rs 300 Ending price = Rs 320 Quarterly dividend = Rs 9 Holding period = 1 year Beginning price = Rs 320 Ending price = Rs 380 : RISK AND RETURN Dee Calculation of holding period retu: mn: Folding period Dividend received 5 months, First quarter Second quarter ae ‘Third quarter : Fourth quarter z (1) Total cash income i Investment value Bsa (2) End of period 9 Beginning of period sO (4) Capital gain (loss) = (2) - 6) Total rupee return = (1) a na (6) Holding period return = (5)/(3 0. oot The holding period return of Stock A is for 3 months.
