1) the series must have an expected value that is constant and finite in all periods, 2) the series must have a variance that is constant and finite in all periods, and 3) the covariance of the time series with itself for a fixed number of periods in the past or future must be constant and finite in all periods.

134
Q

The Insurance Perspective

A

The insurance perspective focuses on the desire by commodity producers to hedge price risk. Since they are inherently long in the commodity, to offset this risk, they will short (sell) their commodities in the future. To entice speculators, they offer a reduced price. Future price is therefore lower than expected spot price resulting in NORMAL BACKWARDATION. Alts page 121.

135
Q

Key man clause:

A

if a key named executive leaves the private equity fund or does not spend a sufficient amount of time at the fund, the GP may be prohibited from making additional investments until another key executive is selected. This is a prospectus term.

136
Q

Describe the Ho-Lee Model.

A

The Ho-Lee model is calibrated by using current market prices to find the time-dependent drive term that generates the current term structure. The Ho-Lee model can then be sued to price zero-coupon bonds and to determine the spot rate. The model produces a symmetrical (normal) distribution of future rates. Note that this is an Arbitrage-Free model. Page 152

139
Q

Liquidity Preference Theory of interest rate term structure

A

Forward rates reflect investors’ expectations of future spot rates, plus a liquidity premium to compensate investors for exposure to interest rate risk (movement - up/down). Liquidity premium is positively related to maturity. Biased estimate of market expectation.

140
Q

Describe the Cox-Ingersoll-Rand Model.

A

CIR is based on the idea that interest rate movements are driven by individuals choosing between consumption today versus investing and consuming at a later time. Assumes that rates revert over time to mean level. Assumes that interest rate volatility increases with the level of interest rates. Note that the CIR is a Equilibrium Term Structure Model. Page 151

141
Q

Preferred Habitat Theory of interest rate term structure

A

Proposes that forward rates represent expected future spot rates plus a premium, but it does not support the view that this premium is directly related to maturity. Suggestion of an imbalance between the supply and demand for funds in a given maturity range will induce lenders and borrowers to shift from their preferred habitats (maturity range) to one that has the opposite balance and pays better.

142
Q

Present Value of Growth Ops (PVGO).

A

D1 / r , as you can see, there is no growth in this equation. You can compare this value from the current share price to derive the PVGO.

143
Q

Define Unbiased Expectations Theory of interest rate term structure

A

Also known at the pure expectations theory, it is the investor’s expectations that determine the shape of the interest rate term structure. Rates are solely a function of expected spot rates. Underlying principle behind the pure expectations theory is risk neutrality: Investors don’t demand a risk premium for maturity strategies that differ from the investment horizon. Pg. 153

144
Q

Local Expectations Theory of interest rate term structure

A

Similar to unbiased expectations theory (forward rates = expected future spot) with one major difference: preservation of risk-neaturlity for only short holding periods. Over longer periods, risk premia should exist.

145
Q

Liquidity Preference Theory of interest rate term structure

A

Forward rates reflect investors’ expectations of future spot rates, plus a liquidity premium to compensate investors for exposure to interest rate risk (movement - up/down). Liquidity premium is positively related to maturity. Biased estimate of market expectation.

146
Q

Segmented Markets Theory of interest rate term structure

A

Yields are not determined by liquidity premiums (liquidity preference theory) or expected spot rates (Unbiased Expectations). Rather, shape of the yield curve is determined by the preferences of borrowers and lenders, which drives the balance between supply of and demand for loans of different maturities. Pension plans and insurance companies may be obligated to participant in specific maturity segment of different bonds. Page 150

147
Q

Remember:

A

Whether the economic profit, residual income, or claims valuation method for determining income is used, the key is that in THEORY, any of the three methods should results in the same value for the company. In PRACTICE, however, accounting complications, such as pension adjustments, goodwill, and deferred taxes, may complicate the calculation of income, leading some analysts to prefer a particular method.

A

Economic income is equal to the after-tax cash flow plus the change in the project’s market value.

149
Q

Define and calculate Economic Profit

NOPAT = EBIT*(1-t)

150
Q

Market Value Added

A

NPV of a project based on economic profit. Calculated as EP / (1+WACC)^t. This approach focuses on returns to all suppliers of capital (hence WACC).

151
Q

Residual Income

A

Focuses on equity and is determined by subtracting an equity charge from accounting net income. Residual Income = Net Income - (required RROE x BVt-1). This approach only focus on returns to equity holders, hence we use cost of equity (RROE).

  3. Tax Aversion Theory - tax rate of dividends makes them more/less appealing.
154
Q

Define economic income

A

Economic income is equal to the after-tax cash flow plus the change in the project’s market value.

162
Q

What is the effect on EPS if a company uses debt to repurchase share?

A

If the after-tax cost of debt is lower than the earnings yield (E/P) or cost of equity, than EPS will increase. Leverage will increase EPS.

163
Q

Key nodes for Herfindahl-Hirschman Index analysis

A

HHI Index post-merger - if still under 1,000 industry is considered competitive. If over 1,000 but less than 1,800, moderately concentrated industry and a change in the index above 100 would likely cause an anticompetitive challenge. If over 1,800, considered highly concentrated; a change of over 50 will certainly prompt a challenge.

164
Q

Characteristics of Strong Corporate Governance Amongst Board of Directors

A
  • 75% independent directors
  • independent chairman (isn’t service as CEO)
  • qualified to serve
  • not serve on more than 2 to 3 boards in total

  • regular meetings without management
  • independent audit committee and internal audit oversight
  • independent nominating committee
165
Q

Gordon Growth Model Equity Risk Premium

A

Estimates risk premium as the expected dividend yield plus the expected growth rate minus the current long-term government bond yield.

GGM equity risk premium = (1-year forecasted dividend yield) + (consensus long-term earnings growth rate)- (long-term government bond yield).

Dividend + growth in earnings - risk free rate.

166
Q

Describe Poison Pill

A

Pre-Offer Defense Mechanism: In most basic form, the poison pill give current shareholders the right to purchase additional shares of stock at extremely attractive prices which causes dilution and effectively increases costs to the potential acquirer.

167
Q

169
Q

Key nodes for Herfindahl-Hirschman Index analysis

A

HHI Index post-merger - if still under 1,000 industry is considered competitive. If over 1,000 but less than 1,800, moderately concentrated industry and a change in the index above 100 would likely cause an anticompetitive challenge. If over 1,800, considered highly concentrated; a change of over 50 will certainly prompt a challenge.

170
Q

How are deferred tax liabilities treated in the FCFF formula?

A

We look at the change in deferred tax liabilities or assets to determine what the cash flow effect was for the year. If there is an increase in deferred tax assets that means we had a cash inflow from not having to pay taxes, we’re postponing payment of tax into the future. DTA’s would be treated similarly. Page 353.

171
Q

Gordon Growth Model Equity Risk Premium

A

Estimates risk premium as the expected dividend yield plus the expected growth rate minus the current long-term government bond yield.

GGM equity risk premium = (1-year forecasted dividend yield) + (consensus long-term earnings growth rate)- (long-term government bond yield).

Dividend + growth in earnings - risk free rate.

173
Q

Discuss Research Analyst Compensation

A

Structure must:

  • Align compensation with the quality of the research and accuracy of the recommendations over time
  • do NOT DIRECTLY link compensation to investment banking or other corp fin activities on which the analyst collaborated (impairs judgement)
174
Q

Supply side estimate of risk premium

A

the Ibbotson-Chen model is an example: equity risk premium = (1+expected inflation) x (1+expected real EPS growth) x (1+expected changes in P/E ratio) - 1+expected yield on index - expected risk free rate.

177
Q

When are dividends an appropriate measure of cash flow?

A
  • The company has a history of dividend payments
  • The dividend policy is clear and related to the earnings of the firm.
  • The perspective is that of a MINORITY shareholder.
178
Q

When is a free cash flow model most appropriate?

A
  • for firms that don’t pay dividends or have a dividend payment history that is not clearly appropriately related to earnings
  • for firms with free cash flow that corresponds with their profitability
  • when the valuation perspective is that of a MAJORITY or CONTROLLING shareholder

cash flow generated by the firm’s operations that is in excess of the capital investment required to sustain the firm’s productive capacity.

180
Q

Define free cash flow to equity:

A

cash flow generated by the firm’s operations that is in excess of the capital investment required to sustain the firm’s productive capacity and expenses associates with debt financing.

A

ROE - g / r - g

186
Q

State the justified P/S ratio

A

Net Income Sales (NPM) x (1 - b) * (1+g) / r- g

187
Q

Implied PE/G valuation rule

A

stocks with lower PE/Gs are more attractive than stocks with higher PE/Gs, assuming risk is similar

188
Q

Drawbacks of using PE/G ratio:

A
  • the relationship between P/E and g is not linear, which makes comparisons difficult
  • the PE/G ratio still doesn’t account for risk
  • the PE/G ratio doesn’t reflect the duration of the high-growth period for a multistage valuation model, especially if the analyst uses a short-term high-growth forecast.
189
Q

Define Enterprise Value

A

EV = Mkt value of Debt + Mkt value of equity - cash and equives and investments.

192
Q

Conceptually, whats the difference between EVA and MVA?

A

EVA is considering added value in a given year. MVA is considering added value since inception of firm.

193
Q

Clean surplus accounting

A

clean surplus relation can be expressed as Ending BV = Beginning BV + Earnings - Dividends

194
Q

Real Exchange Rate between currencies

A

A

taking advantage of the misplacing of currencies. Borrowing in once currency, exchanging and investing in another, and then converting back to original currency, paying of loan and keeping the difference.

196
Q

Explain what the hell the Cobb-Douglas Function is:

A

aims to model the effect of capital investment on economic growth and labor productivity. Takes the following form:
- Y=TK∂L^(1-∂)
Where ∂ and (1-∂) = the share of the output allocated to capital (k) and labor (l). T represents the technological progress of the economy, often referred to total factor productivity (TFP).

197
Q

What is the Cobb-Douglas function trying to explain:

A

Essentially states that output (GDP) is a function of labor and capital inputs and their productivity.

198
Q

What are the three theories of economic growth?

A

Classical, Neoclassical, Endogenous

199
Q

Classical Growth Theory

A

Long-term population growth increases where there is an increase in per capita income above subsistence level due to an increase in capital or technological progress. Population explodes which leads to diminishing returns. Unsustainable growth. Not supported by empirical evidence. Key point is Non-permanent growth.

200
Q

Neoclassical Growth Theory

A

Focus is on estimated economy’s long-term steady state growth rate (sustainable growth rate or equilibrium growth rate). Output to capital ratio is constant. When the output to capital ratio is constant, the labor-to-capital ratio and the output per capita also got at the equilibrium growth rate g.
Key point is Steady Growth.

201
Q

Endogenous Growth Theory

A

end means coming from with - this theory contents that it s the investment in both physical and human captain that resulted in technological growth. Permanent increase of growth rate.

202
Q

Under the current rate method, what exposure is required to have a gain (loss)?

A

If local currency is appreciating (depreciating), net asset exposure will result in a gain (loss).
If local currency is appreciating (depreciating), net liability exposure will result in a loss (gain).

203
Q

Under the temporal rate method, what exposure is required to have a gain (loss)?

A

If local currency is appreciating (depreciating), net monetary asset exposure will result in a gain (loss).
If local currency is appreciating (depreciating), net monetary liability exposure will result in a loss (gain).

204
Q

Under US GAAP, what method do we use to convert financial statements in a hyper-inflationary environment?

A

When hyperinflation is present, the functional currency is considered to e the parent’s presentation currency; thus, the temporal method is use to remeasure the financial statements.

205
Q

Define hyperinflation according to US GAAP

A

One in which cumulative inflation exceeds 100% over a 3-year period. Assuming compounding, an inflation rate of more than 26% over three years will result in cumulative inflation over 100%.

206
Q

Under IFRS, what method do we use to convert financial statements in a hyper-inflationary environment?

A

The temporal method is NOT used (like US GAAP). Instead, the foreign currency financial statements are restated for inflation and then translated using the current exchange rate. This means adjusting for changes in the price index and then multiplying by the current exchange rate.

207
Q

Holding monetary assets in a hyper inflationary environment results in:

A

A purchasing power loss. Think about this as your foreign currency units are worth less and it takes more of them to buy something now. Someone owning me $10 as valuable as it used to be. The opposite is true with monetary liabilities. Hyperinflation results in a purchasing power gain because our debts are denominated where we still paying off the same “amount” but it’s worth less. Its like paying off a mortgage in the future after inflation. The mortgage payment doesn’t feel as significant as it used to.

208
Q

Accounting for Stock Grant:

A

Compensation expense for stock granted to an employee is based on the fair value of the stock on the grant date. The compensation expense is allocated over the employee’s service period.

209
Q

Phantom stock

A

Payoff is based on hypothetical shares, not performance of actual shares.

210
Q

Accounting for Stock Option Compensation:

A

Compensation expense is based on the fair value of the options on the grant date based on the number of options that are expected to vest. Expense is allocates to the income statement over the service period. Recondition of compensation expense will decrease net income but result in a offsetting increase to paid-in capital. Therefore, no change to equity occurs.

211
Q

What happens when a firm amends its pension plan?

A

If the amendment results in increased benefits and therefore costs, under US GAAP the cost is reporting under other comprehensive income and amortized over the remaining service life of the affected employees. Under IFRS the expense is recognized immediately.

212
Q

Calculation of Total Periodic Pension Cost

A

Two ways:

(1) TPPC = Contributions - ∆funded status
(2) TPPC = Current Service Costs + Interest Costs - actual return on plan assets ± actuarial losses/gains due to changes in assumptions affecting PBO

213
Q

Recognizing impairment of equity method investment

A

Equity method investments must be tested for impairment. Under US GAAP, if the fair value of the investment falls below the carrying value (investment account on B/S) and the loss is considered permanent, the investment is written down to fair value and a loss is recognized on the income statement under continuing operations.

214
Q

Recognizing goodwill on equity method investment

A

If the price paid for the investment does not equal the propionate book value of the investee’s assets, the excess is attributed to goodwill. HOWEVER, under the equity method we still report it as single line-item. This will probably mean that we will need to include additional depreciation expense in our calculation of ending equity method value. This will affect the net income from equity investment that we report. Pg 68.

215
Q

Calculate conversion value of convertible bond

A

Conversion Value = MARKET price of bond x conversion ratio

216
Q

Calculate Market conversion price of convertible bond

A

Market Conversion Price = Market Price of Convertible bond / conversation ratio (what is the price that we’d essentially be paying for the stock?)

217
Q

Calculate Market conversion premium per share

A

Market Conversion Premium Per share = Market Conversation Price - Market Price. Essentially, what’s the difference between what we are converting and what we could buy outright in the marketplace?

218
Q

A convertibile bond can behave as:

A

(1) A busted convertible - basically a bond that someone wouldn’t consider converting to shares because market conversion price is way to high.
(2) Common stock equivalent - conversion feature is so value the security behaves a stock
(3) hybrid - characteristics of both fixed income and equity
