This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 5 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Financial Management" regarding risk and return. It defines return, expected return, risk, and standard deviation as measures of risk. It provides examples of how to calculate expected return and standard deviation for discrete distributions. It also discusses risk attitudes, portfolio return and risk, systematic and unsystematic risk, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
Introduction to Chapter 5 on Risk and Return in Financial Management.
Return is defined as income from investment combined with market price change, expressed as a percentage.Example of Stock A's return calculation, yielding 5% return based on changes in price and dividends.
Expected return determined through a discrete distribution model, calculating for Stock BW yielding 9%.Standard deviation measures the variability of distribution around mean; calculated for Stock BW as 13.15%.The coefficient of variation as a relative risk measure calculated for BW, indicating risk to return ratio.
Certainty equivalents used to express risk preferences ranging from risk aversion to risk preference.Example illustrating varied risk attitudes of individuals regarding guaranteed and risky rewards.Expected return for a portfolio calculated from weighted investments and individual asset returns.Combining securities reduces risk, distinguishing between systematic and unsystematic risks.
Definitions of total risk as a sum of systematic and unsystematic risks impacting portfolios.Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) assesses relationship between risk and expected return.Key assumptions underlying CAPM related to market efficiency and risk-free assets.
Characteristic line regression defining stock's beta, a measure of systematic risk.Method to calculate beta using excess return data of stock and market to refine risk assessments.Calculation of required return for stock using CAPM, demonstrating application with set financial variables.Valuation using constant growth model, showing stock BW is overvalued based on intrinsic vs market price.
