Fundamentals
Time value of money
The value of money decreases as time passes by. Main two reasons:
Humans are impatient and consumption now is guaranteed, while the circumstances may make
consumption impossible in the future. Some human needs (like the need for food) must be fulfilled
quickly.
Unspent values can be invested and thus generate more value. One seed may generate hundreds of new
seeds in a year if sown today.
Perpetuity
perpetuity = annuity with infinite number of payments, . For perpetuity with growth rate ( ) is
Accounting representation
Note that the accounting representation of a firm may be unsuitable to make financial descisions. The first
mostly focuses on where values are tied up, while the latter focuses on the actual cash flows.
Depreciation
Fixed assets are normally depreciatied over a their lifetime. This makes sense as their aquirement only converts
value from cash to fixed assets - the real loss of value happens as the assets age.
However, when determining whether to proceed with a project, the actual cashflows are more relevant, thus the
entire cost is treated as a cash flow at the time of aquirement. The loss of value is reflected in a lower cash flow
the opposite way around when the asset is sold.

Do however note that the depreciation is deducted when calculating taxes, and thus affects the cash flow
through taxes!
Irrelevant information
The financial statements are required to show all aspects, even those not relevant to a decision, for example
money already spent. This is of course irrelevant to an investment decision and should be disregarded.
Changes in capital
Financial statements often include working capital, but not the changes in working capital. These changes are in
fact cash flows and must be included when calculating Net Present Value (NPV).
In other words, this capital is tied up in the project and thus does not generate interests (as it would otherwise
do).
Utility
Assumptions made:
People are greedy, so more is always better than less
Each additional unit gives less utility than the previous
Peoples preferences are well-behaved; their preferences form a partial order
This results in utility functions , which express the utility given by an amount of resource (often
wealth). Two common utility functions:
1.
2.
Note that may be negative, although (1) may suggest otherwise. Also, (2) breaks down with large values of
(meaning it does not adhere to the assumptions).
Indifference curve
Given two resources, and , the indifference curve shows which combinations gives the same utility, in
other words the line defined by
where is a constant.
Risk aversion
The utility curves from the above assumptions also leads to risk aversion.
Example
If one expects to be either 50kr or 150kr with a 50% probability of each, then
however, the expected utility assuming is

Project decisions
Often, you will need to consider a project proposal where company XYZ ventures into a new area of business.
To figure out whether or not to go through with a project, you need to figure out whether or not the NPV, or
Net Present Value, is positive. If , go through with the project. Conversely, if , do not go
through with the project. Hence, making project decisions is an exercise of calculating NPV.
Typically, projects will cost a certain one-time, up-front amount of money to be completed, and generate a
perpetual yearly revenue of some amount . If you have these two numbers, you can figure out NPV using the
formula:
Now all you have to do is to calculate the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) of the project.
Alternatively, the APV (Adjusted present value) could also be used for NPV, which is preferred to WACC in the
case that the leverage ratio of the leveraged company is constantly changing during the duration of the
investment.
Calculating Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
The formula for calculating Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC) is:
Unfortunately, is impossible to know. Luckily, it can be estimated by looking at previous projects in the same
business domain. One way to estimate is to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model, or CAPM.
Calculating using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

the difference of SML (Security Market Line) and CML (Capital Market Line) lies in that: CML is pricing relation

CML prices all risks while SML only prices the systematic risk.
The formula for CML/Capital Market Line is
Levering and unlevering
When doing these project calculations, we need to make sure that we don't mistakenly assume that cost of
equity is the same across different leverage degrees. To account for this, we need to un-lever and re-lever as
necessary. Here are some formulas that help in doing this.
Miles-Ezzell WACC calculation
When debt of a project will be periodically rebalanced, you can use Miles-Ezzell.

The tax part ( ) is left out when debt is continuously rebalanced.

Use Miles-Ezzel to find the WACC.
If debt is permanent & fixed & predetermined
Unlever using M&M (solved for ) remember to use the E and D from the company you got the from
Combined version of normal WACC and normal M&M. Use the new project's D / E values. Alternatively, use normal
M&M + WACC instead of this shortcut formula
3. Calculate NPV using WACC
Adjusted present value (APV)
Step 1. Calculate the base case value of the project as if it is all equity financed (Un-levered) and without
side-effects, the present base case value is dicsounted at OCC .
Step 2. Then, calculate all the side-effects, include tax advantage (from a given level of debt by discounting
tax shield at the cost of debt ) and issue cost at .
In the end, the APV = PV of base case + PV of tax advantage – issue cost.
Option pricing
Options are financial contracts that give their holders the right, but not obligation, to buy or sell something on a
future date (maturity date) at a price decided upon today. Options can be priced rationally using different
models. European options (options that can only be exercised at the maturity date) should be priced using the
Black-Scholes model, and American options (options that can be exercised at any time until the maturity date)
should be priced using the Binomial options pricing model.The american option without exercising is alive while
it turns to dead after exercise.
Put:the right to sell at exercise price, expecting the price decrease.
Call:the right to buy at exercise price, expecting the price increases.

This is now the finished asset price lattice. Now we want to make a new lattice for the option price. It should
have as many steps as the asset price lattice, but all nodes should be empty except for the right-most leaf nodes.
These nodes should contain the option value at that point, calculated as , i.e. the asset price for the
corresponding node in the asset lattice minus the strike price. Of course, if this expression is less than $0, the
value of the option is truncated to zero, since excercising options are, well, optional. Anyway, for our example,
with , this will yield an option price lattice that looks like this:

Short straddle
A good strategy when you expect the stock price to have low volatility. The short straddle will give maximum
profit if the price stays the same as today.
You sell a put option and sell a call option (short put and short call) with an at-the-money exercise price. This
option position has no upfront cost, as you only sell two options. The downside is that if the stock price changes
a lot in the future, there is a possibility for infinite losses.
/\

Long straddle
You buy a put option and buy a call option (long put and long call). This is a good strategy if you expect high
volatility in the stock price.
\ /

Butterfly spread
Buy two call options – one at an in-the-money exercise price and one out-of-money. Then sell two call options for
an at-the-money exercise price. This has an upfront cost of the cost of the two long options minus the cost of the
two short options. The advantage of a butterfly spread over a short straddle is the reduced risk in case of an
increased stock price. The downside compared to the short straddle is a lower maximum profit.

Collar
Also called "Split-Strike Conversion"
Buy an out-of-the-money put option and sell an out-of-the-money call option (long put and short call). It reduces
volatility because it ‘cuts off’ the high and low tails of the stock’s returns.The short call caps the possible gains
from the stock (provides a ceiling), but it generates cash. The cash is used to increase the return of the position
and to finance the put, which insures against a (large) loss of stock (provides a floor). So a part of the upware
potential is given up to reduce the downside risk, resulting is lower volatility.
