Modigliani and Miller Proposition 2 (with tax)
K e = ki e + (1-T) (ki e – k d) (V d / V e)
The capital asset pricing model
E (ri) = Rf + Bi (Rm – Rf)
Where (Rf) is risk free rate; (Bi) is Beta equity and (Rm) is market rate.
The asset beta formula
B a = {(V e) / (V e + V d (1 – T)} x B e + {V d (1 - T) / (V e + V d (1 – T)} x B d
The Growth model
P0 = {Do (1+g)} / (re – g)
Where Do is the current dividend; re is the shareholder’s required return and g is the growth rate.
Gordon’s growth approximation
G = b re
Where b is the proportion of earnings retained and r is the rate of return the company can earn.
The weighted average cost of capital
WACC = {(V e) / (V e + V d)} x K e + {(V d) / (V e + V d)} x K d (1 – T)
Where V e is value of equity; V d is value of debt; K e is cost of equity; K d is cost of debt and T
is the prevailing tax rate.
The Fisher formula
(1 + i) = (1 + r) (1 + h)
Where (i) is the actual cost of capital; (r) is the real cost of capital and (h) is the inflation rate.
Purchasing power parity
S1 = S0 x (1 + h c) / (1 + h b)
Interest rate parity
F0 = S0 x (1 + i c) / (1 + i b)
Two asset portfolio
Sp = (w2a s2a + w2b s2b + 2 wa wb rab sa sb) (1/2)
Modified internal rate of return
MIRR = (PV R / PV I) (1 / n) (1 + re) – 1
The Black-Scholes option pricing model
C = Pa N (d1) – Pe N (d2) e-rt
d1 = {ln (Pa / Pe) + (r + 0.5s2) t} / (s √t)
d2 = d1 - s √t
The put call parity relationship
p = c – Pa + Pe e-rt
OTHER IMPORTANT FORMULAS (NOT GIVEN IN EXAMS)
Working capital = Account receivables + Cash + Inventory – Account payables
Receivable days = (Average receivables / Revenue) x 365 days
Inventory days = (Average inventory / Cost of sales) x 365 days
Raw material days = (Average raw material / Raw material purchases) x 365 days
Finished goods days = (Average finished goods / Cost of sales) x 365 days
Work in progress days = (Average work in progress / Cost of production) x 365 days
Payable days = (Average payables / Purchases) x 365 days
Cash operating cycle = Inventory days + Receivable days – Payable days
Accounting rate of return = (Average profits / Average book value) x 100
Market value of irredeemable debt = Interest per annum / Debt holder’s required rate of return
Cost of equity = {D0 (1 + g) / P0} + g
Annuity discount factor = {1- (1 + r) –n} / (r) [Where r = discount rate; n = number of periods]
Perpetuity = 1 / r [Where r = discount rate]
IRR = L + {(NL) / (NL – NH)} (H – L) [Where L is the lower discount rate; H is the higher
discount rate; NL is the net present value at lower discount rate and NH is the net present value
at higher discount rate.
Interest yield = (Annual interest payment / Market value of debt) x 100
Cum div market value = Ex div market value + Dividend about to be paid
Hedging efficiency = (Profit on one deal / Loss on other deal) x 100
Total risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic risk
Operating gearing = Fixed costs / Variable costs
Gross profit margin = (Gross profit / Revenue) x 100
Operating profit margin = (Operating profit / Revenue) x 100
Net profit margin = (Net profit / Revenue) x 100
Return on capital employed = (PBIT / Equity + Liabilities)
Asset turnover = (Revenue / Total assets)
Return on capital employed = Asset turnover x Operating profit margin
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Quick ratio (Acid test) = (Current assets – Inventories) / Current liabilities
Gearing = Debt / Equity
Gearing = Debt / (Debt + Equity)
Price earnings (PE) ratio = Market price / Earnings per share
Earnings yield = Earnings per share / Market price
Dividend yield = (Dividend per share / Market price) x 100
Dividend cover = Earnings per share / Dividend per share
