1. INTRODUCTION

What is the time value of money?

Is $1 today equal to $1 tomorrow?

Would you agree to pay $500 to a friend and receive $500 back 1 year from now?

Would you agree to pay $500 to a friend and receive $1000 back 1 year from now?

2. INTEREST RATES

Would you agree to receive $9,500 now and pay $10,000 now?

What if you receive $9,500 now and pay $10,000 one year from now?

2. INTEREST RATES

An interest rate is a rate of return that reflects the relationship between

differently dated cash flows.

How much is your return in the previous example?

2. INTEREST RATES

Interest rate may be referred to as:

Required rate of return: The minimum rate of return an investor must receive in

order to accept the investment.

Discount rate: The rate we use to discount future cash flows.

Opportunity cost: Value that investors forgo by choosing a particular course of

action.

3. FUTURE VALUE OF A SINGLE CASH FLOW

You invest $9,500 now and receive $10,000 one year from now.

This $10,000 includes the initial $9,500 plus $500 interest on that.

Future Value is equal to the Present Value of the investment plus interest on the investment.

3.1 The Frequency of Compounding

Some investments pay interest more than once a year.

Financial institutions often quote an annual interest rate.

If your bank states the annual interest rate is 8%, compounded monthly, how much is the

monthly interest rate?

3.3 Stated and Effective Rates

In all of the examples 1-3 stated interest rate and maturity were 8% and 6 years. But they all

have different future values:

PV = $2,500,000

FV Compounded annually = $3,967,186

FV Compounded Monthly = $4,033,755

FV Compounded Continuously = $4,040,186

3.3 Stated and Effective Rates

Examples 1-3 illustrate that when interest rate is compounded, monthly or continuously,

effective rate is more than the stated rate.

CASH FLOWS

Common terms used in this topic:

Annuity: a finite set of sequential cash flows

Ordinary annuity: first cash flow occurs one year from now

Annuity due: first cash flow occurs immediately (at t=0)

Perpetuity: an infinite set of cash flows beginning one year from now.

Time Value of Money (Part II) Discounted Cash Flow Applications






Chapter 2 Discounted Cash Flow Applications

1. INTRODUCTION

Key Time Value of Money concepts: NPV and IRR

Making investment decision

Portfolio return measurement

Calculation of money market yields

Discounted Cash Flow Applications

2.1 Net Present Value (NPV)

Invest or Not?

You first need to know the present value of the cash flows

Second, you need to know how much the project cost you

If the project costs less than the PV of the cash flows you will invest; otherwise you will not


2.1 Net Present Value (NPV)

NPV is a method for choosing among alternative investments. The Net

Present Value is the present value of

cash inflows, minus the present value of

cash outflows.

Example 1: NPV

A project generates $100m next year, $150m

in year 2 and $120m in year 3. If the project

costs $310m and you can finance the

investment with an opportunity cost of 10%,

will invest in the project?


Example 1: NPV

What if the opportunity cost is 5%?

Would you invest in this project?


2.2 Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

Internal Rate of Return is the rate of return that makes the NPV equal to zero

IRR can be calculated using financial software or financial calculators, or trial and error method!

2.2 Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

Investment decision is to invest if IRR is more than the interest rate (opportunity cost) and not invest if IRR is

lower than the interest rate.

If discount rate is more than IRR, NPV will be negative and if interest rate is lower that IRR, NPV will be positive

Therefore, NPV and IRR will always lead to the same decision

FIN5SBF

11


Example 2: IRR

A project generates $100m next year, $150m

in year 2 and $120m in year 3. If the project

costs $310m. What is the internal rate of

return? Is it 8.34%, 9.12% or 10.27%?


Example 2: IRR

Will you invest if the opportunity cost is 10%?

What if the interest rate is 5%?


2.3 Problems with IRR rule

IRR and NPV always lead to the same invest/not invest decision, but sometimes they rank the projects differently

If the scale of the projects differs

If projects have different timing of future cash flows

If there is a conflict between IRR and NPV, we should follow NPV as it reflects the real change in investors wealth


2.3 Problems with IRR rule

IRR and NPV always lead to the same invest/not invest decision, but sometimes they rank the projects differently

If the scale of the projects differs

If projects have different timing of future cash flows

If there is a conflict between IRR and NPV, we should follow NPV as it reflects the real change in investors wealth

If the sign of the cash flows changes more than once, we may get more than one IRR.

3.1 Money Weighted Rate of Return

IRR is called Money Weighted Rate of Return because it depends on timing and the dollar value of cash flows

IRR is not a good measure for investment managers

Usually, client decides when and how much to invest or withdraw

An evaluation tool should only judge the investment manager only for his own decisions, not for the clients


3.2 Time Weighted Rate of Return

The preferred measurement tool in investment management industry

Measures the compound rate of growth of each $1 of initial investment over the period

Does not depend on the dollar value of the investment

Not affected by withdrawals or additions to the portfolio


3.2 Time Weighted Rate of Return

Calculation of Time Weighted Rate of Return

Price the portfolio before any additions or withdrawals, breaking the period into subperiods

Calculate the HPR for each subperiod

Take the geometric mean of the calculated Holding Period Returns (HPR)

Example 3: Money Weighted Rate of Return

At t = 0, an investor buys one share at $200. At time t = 1, he purchases an additional

share at $225,

At the end of Year 2, t = 2, he sells both shares for $235 each.

During both years, the share pays a per-share dividend of $5.

Calculate the Money Weighted Rate of Return


Example 3: Money Weighted Rate of Return

t = 0 t = 1 t = 2

$200 $225 $10 2 x $235 $5


Example 4: Time Weighted Rate of Return

t = 0 t = 1 t = 2

$200 $225 $10 2 x $235 $5



First period:

t = 0 t = 1 t = 2

$200 $225 $10 2 x $235 $5

4. Money Market Yields

Consider two 1-year bonds of a company:

One with a $100 face value and $10 coupon at maturity;

The other with a $110 face value but no coupon

Are they selling at the same price today?

What is the interest of the second bond?

Many short-term debts (one-year maturity or less) pay no explicit coupon but they are sold at a discount.

Pure discount instruments


4. Money Market Yields

Pure discount instruments such as T-bills are quoted on a Bank Discount basis, rather than

on a price basis:

rBD: annualized yield on a Bank Discount basis

D: dollar discount = face value purchase price

F: face value

T: actual number of days remaining to maturity

360: bank convention of the number of days in a year

Statistical Concepts and Market Returns

2.59

INTRODUCTION

Statistical methods provide a powerful set of tools for analyzing data.

Descriptive statistics includes basics of describing and analyzing data.

We explore four properties of return distributions: Where the returns are centered (central tendency)

How far returns are dispersed from their center (dispersion)

Whether the distribution of returns is symmetrically shaped or not (skewness)

Whether extreme outcomes are likely (kurtosis)


2.60

Descriptive and Inferential Statistics

Descriptive statistics is to summarize a small set of data (sample) effectively to describe the important aspects of a larger dataset (population)

Statistical inference is to make forecasts. estimations or judgments about a larger dataset (population) from a smaller group (sample) actually observed.

FIN5SBF

2.61

Frequency Distributions

The simplest way of summarizing data is the frequency distribution.

A frequency distribution is a tabular display of data summarized into a

relatively small number of intervals.


2.62

Example: Frequency Distributions

Histogram & Bar Chart

Histogram consist of adjacent rectangles whose bases are marked off by class width and their heights are

proportional to the frequencies they possessed.

Bar chart is special form of histograms where bars are not adjacent and the data have been grouped into a

frequency distribution.

The following two slides display the bar chart of absolute and relative frequency distributions of example

Measures of Central Tendency

Arithmetic Mean:

The (arithmetic) mean is the sum of the observations divided by the number

of observations.

The population mean is given by

The sample mean looks at the arithmetic average of the sample of data:

2.69

Median

Median is the value of the middle item of a set of items, sorted by ascending or descending

order.

If n is an odd number it occupies the (n+1)/2 position.

If n is an even number it is the average of items in the n/2 and (n+2)/2 positions.

Unlike the mean, the median is not affected by a few large observations.


2.70

Example: Median

Find the median of 46, 54, 42, 46, 32:.


2.71

Mode

The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a distribution.

A distribution can have more than one mode or even no mode.

Stock returns or other data from continuous distribution may not have a modal outcome but we often find the modal interval (intervals) Which internal in our Banna Insurance example is the

modal interval? (Hint: see the Histogram in slide 9)


2.72

Example: Mode

Find the mode of 46, 54, 42, 46, 32:.

FIN5SBF

19


2.73

Weighted Mean

The weighted mean allows us to place greater importance on different observations.

For example, we may choose to give larger companies greater weight in our computation of an

index. In this case, we would weight each

observation based on its relative size.

The arithmetic mean is a special case where each observation is given the same weight.

Quartiles and Percentiles

If your lecturer tells you that your exam mark is in top 10%, what does it mean?

Median divides the data in half. The dataset can be also divided into:

Quartiles; Quintiles; Deciles; Percentiles

To find the value of yth percentile with n observations:

first organize data in ascending order

FIN5SBF

20


2.77

Quartiles and Percentiles

then the location of the yth percentile is at

Ly = (n + 1) * y%

however, some software package like Excel uses location Ly = [(n - 1)*y%] +1

if Ly is an integer, the value of yth percentile, Py, is equal to the observation at Ly

if Ly is not an integer, it can be written as Ly = k.d, where . is the decimal point, and

Py =Vk + .d (Vk+1 - Vk),

where Vk and Vk+1 are the values of kth and (k + 1)th

observations.


2.78

Example: Percentiles

Find the values of 25th and 40th percentiles of the 46, 54, 42, 46, 32:

Note, median = P50, = Q2 = D5, P75 = Q3, , here Q and D denote Quartile

and Decile.


2.79

Measures of Dispersion

One of simplest measures of dispersion is the range, which is the difference between

the maximum and minimum values in a

dataset:

Range = Maximum value Minimum value.

Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe ratio is the ratio of mean excess return to riskan application of mean and standard deviation analysis.

Skewness

Skewness measures the symmetry of a distribution.

A symmetric distribution has a skewness of 0.

Positive skewness indicates that the mean is greater than the median (more than half the deviations from

the mean are negative)

Negative skewness indicates that the mean is less than the median (less than half the deviations from

the mean are negative)

Uncertainty and Probability

A random variable is a quantity whose outcomes are uncertain.

An event is a specified set of outcomes.

Probability: the likelihood or chance that something is the case or will happen

The probability of any event, E, is a number between .

The sum of the probabilities of any set of mutually exclusive & exhaustive events equals.

A random variable is a quantity whose outcomes are uncertain.

An event is a specified set of outcomes.

Probability: the likelihood or chance that something is the case or will happen The probability of any event, E, is a number between 0 and 1: 0 P(E)

1 The sum of the probabilities of any set of mutually exclusive &

exhaustive events equals 1.

Probability of an event A is equal to:

Mutually exclusive events are those only one of which can occur at a time.

Exhaustive events are the events that cover all possible outcomes.

How to estimate probability? An empirical probability is estimated by relative frequency of occurrence

based on historical data

A subjective probability is one drawing on personal or subjective judgment.

A priori probability is one based on logical analysis rather than on observation or personal judgment.

A priori or an empirical probability is also called objective probability.

Multiplication and Addition Rules for

Independent Events

When two events are independent, the joint probability is the product of two probabilities

Consequently, addition rule becomes

Multiplication Rule for Probability

The joint probability can be found using the multiplication rule:

Unconditional and Conditional

Probabilities

Unconditional or marginal probability answers question, What is the probability of event A.

Conditional probability answers the question, What is the probability of event A, given that event B occurs.

Joint probability answers the question, What is the probability of both events A and B

happening.

4.123

Interpretation of Return Covariance

If the covariance is 0, the returns on the assets are unrelated.

If the covariance is negative (positive), when the returns on one asset is above its expected

value, the returns of the other asset tend to be

below (above) its expected value; i.e the two

returns tends to move in the same (opposite)

direction.

The covariance of a random with itself is its own variance.


4.124

Interpretation of Correlation Coefficient

Correlation is a scaled covariance that falls between -1 and +1.

A correlation of +1 means the variables are perfectly positively correlated.

A correlation of -1 means the variables are perfectly negatively correlated.

A correlation of 0 means the variables are uncorrelated.

Random Variables and Distributions

A probability distribution specifies the probabilities of the possible outcomes of a random variable.

There are two types of random variables:

A discrete random variable can take on at most a countable number of possible values;

A continuous random variable takes infinitely many values, on an interval, say between [0, 1] or (-, +)


5.130

Random Variables and Distributions

For discrete random variable, the probability function specifies the probability that the random

variable takes on a specific value.

For continuous variable,

The probability density function p(x) specifies the probability density the random variable takes on the

value x or the approximate probability the random

variable takes on values around x of a unit length.

The cumulative distribution function P(x) gives the probability that the random variable is less than or equal

to x.


5.131

Bernoulli Random Variable

Sometimes a random variable can only take on two values, success or failure. This is referred to

as a Bernoulli random variable.

A Bernoulli trial is an experiment that produces only two outcomes.

Y = 1 for success and Y = 0 for failure.

Sampling and Estimation






Chapter 6 Sampling and Estimation

6.156

Sampling

In statistics we are often interested in obtaining information about the value of some parameters of a population.

To obtain this information we usually take a small subset of the population and try to draw some conclusions from this sample.

A sampling plan is the set of rules used to select a sample.

FIN5SBF

40


6.157

Simple Random Sampling

A simple random sample is a subset of a larger population created in such a way that each element

of the population has an equal probability of being

selected.


6.158

Stratified Random Sampling

Stratified random sampling occurs when the population is divided into subpopulations

(strata) and a simple random sample is drawn

from each strata.

It guarantees that population subdivisions of interests are represented in the sample.

It generates more accurate estimates (smaller variance) than simple random sampling


6.159

Types of Sample Data

Cross-sectional data represent observations over individual units at a point in time;

Time series data is a set of observations on a variables outcomes in different time periods;

Panel data have both time-series and cross-sectional aspects and consist of observations

through time on a single characteristics of

multiple observational units.


6.160

Sampling Error and Statistic

Sampling error is the difference between the observed value of a statistic and the quantity it is intended to estimate.

Sampling distribution of a statistic is the distribution of all the distinct possible values that the statistic can assume when computed from samples of the same size randomly drawn from the same population.

sample.

Standard Error of the Sample Mean

When we use the sample mean to estimate the population mean, there are some errors.

The standard error of the sample mean is the standard deviation of the difference between the sample mean and the population mean.

sample mean is

Central Limit Theorem

The central limit theorem: Given a population described by any probability distribution having

mean and finite variance 2, the sampling distribution of the sample mean computed

from samples of size n from this population will

be approximately normal with mean (the population mean) and variance 2/n (the population variance divided by n) when the

sample size n is large.

What is the probability that a random sample of 30 managers will have a

mean salary that lies within $1000 of the population mean?


6.168

Confidence Intervals

Any estimate has errors. But we know that the estimated parameter must be around the

estimate with high probability.

A confidence interval is an interval for which we can assert with a given probability 1 , called the degree of confidence, that it will contain the

parameter it is intended to estimate.

Note, here we move from a point estimation to internal estimation.

Confidence Intervals

A (1 )% confidence interval for a parameter has the following structure:

assumed distribution of the point estimate and the degree of confidence (1 ) for the confidence interval

standard error is the standard error of the sample statistic providing the point estimate.

Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis Testing

Statistical inference as two subdivisions: estimation and hypothesis testing

Estimation addresses the question: what is this parameters value? For example, what is the population mean of annual returns for

company XYZ? The answer is usually a confidence interval built around a point

estimate.

A hypothesis testing question is:" Is the value of that parameter equal to ? For example, is the average annual return of XYZ equal to 10%

The statement Average annual return of XYZ is equal to 10% is called a hypothesis

Hypothesis Testing

1.Stating the hypotheses.

2.Identifying the appropriate test statistic

and its probability distribution.

3.Specifying the significance level.

4.Stating the decision rule.

5.Collecting the data and calculating the

test statistic.

6.Making the statistical decision.

Steps in Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis Testing

Null vs. Alternative Hypothesis (Step 1)

The null hypothesis is the hypothesis to be tested. Null hypothesis can never be accepted. We can either reject the null

(hence accepting the alternative) or not reject the null (and not

accepting the alternative either!)

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis accepted when the null hypothesis is rejected.

Eg: H0: Population average risk premium for Canadian equities is less

than or equal to zero.

HA: Population average risk premium for Canadian equities is greater than zero.

Hypothesis Testing

Formulation of Hypotheses (Step 1)

There three ways to form hypothesis

1. H0: = 0 versus Ha: 0

2. H0: 0 versus Ha: > 0 3. H0: 0 versus Ha: < 0

The first formulation is a two-sided test. The other two are one-sided tests.

Eg. we may want to test

H0: Population average risk premium for Canadian equities is less than or equal to zero.

HA: Population average risk premium for Canadian equities is greater than zero.

Hypothesis Testing

Two types of Errors (Step 3)

In reaching a statistical decision, we can make two possible errors:

We may reject a true null hypothesis (a Type I error), or

Probability of type I error is denoted by the Greek letter alpha,

We may fail to reject a false null hypothesis (a Type II error).

Probability of type II error is denoted by the Greek letter beta,

Hypothesis Testing

Level of Significance (Step 3)

The level of significance of a test is the probability of a Type I error that we are

preparing to accept in conducting a hypothesis

test, is denoted by .

The standard approach to hypothesis testing involves specifying a level of significance

(probability of Type I error) only.

Conventional significance levels: 0.1 (some evidence), 0.05 (strong evidence), 0.01 (very

strong evidence).

FIN5SBF

48

Hypothesis Testing

Level of Significance (Step 3)

Trade-off: all else equal, if we decrease the probability of a type I error by increasing specifying a smaller significance level, we increase the probability of making a Type II error.

The power of a test is the probability of correctly rejecting the null (rejecting the null when it is false).

It is equal to 1 minus the probability of a Type II error.

Hypothesis Testing

Rejection Points (Step 4)

A rejection point (critical value) for a test statistic is a value with which the computed test statistic is compared to decide whether to reject the null hypothesis or not.

For a one-tailed test, we indicate a rejection point using the symbol for the test statistic with a subscript of significance level (e.g., z, t)

For a two-tailed test, the subscript is a half of the significance level (e.g., z/2, t/2)

Hypothesis Testing

Example: Rejection Points of a One-

Sided z-test

If Canadian equity risk premium is normal and its variance is known, then we can use a z-test to test the

hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance:

H0: 0 (average risk premium is less than or equal to zero) versus

HA: > 0 (average risk premium is greater than zero)

One rejection point exists: z0.05 = 1.65

Hypothesis Testing

Example: Rejection Points of a One-

Sided z-test

So if our sample data yield

we reject the null hypothesis.

Otherwise, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

We cant accept it either!

This is illustrated by the following slide.

Note, H0: 0 versus Ha: < 0, the rejection point is z0.05 = -1.645 and we reject null hypothesis if z < -1.645

On the other hand, if the hypotheses are

H0: = 0 (The average Canadian equity risk premium is zero) versus

Ha: 0 (The average Canadian equity risk premium is not equal to zero)

There exists two rejection points. If significance level is still 0.05, the rejection points are:

Confidence Interval

0 1.96 , 0 1.96X X

Hypothesis Testing

Collecting Data and Calculating the Test

Statistic (Step 5)

Data collection issues:

Measurement errors

Sample selection bias and time-period bias

Test statistic calculation has shown in the previous examples.

Hypothesis Testing

Making Statistical Decision (Step 6)

Comparing the calculated test statistic with corresponding critical value to

decide whether reject the null

hypothesis or not.

Although we will meet other tests below, the basic principal of statistical decision

making is the same.

Hypothesis Testing

p-Value

An alternative approach is called p-value approach.

The p-value is the smallest level of significance at which the null hypothesis can be rejected.

The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis and in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

FIN5SBF

Hypothesis Tests Concerning the Mean:

t-tests

Can test that the mean of a population is equal to or differs from some hypothesized value.

Can test to see if the sample means from two different populations differ.

Hypothesis Testing

Example: Testing average Days of

Receivables

FashionDesigns is concerned about a possible slowdown in payments from its customers. The rate of payment is measured by the average number of days in receivables. FashionDesigns has generally maintained an average of 45 days in receivables. A recent random sample of 50 accounts shows a mean number of days in receivables of 49 with a standard deviation of 8 days. Determine whether the evidence supports the suspected condition that customer payments have slowed at 5% level of significance.

Hypothesis Testing

Example: Testing average Days of

Receivables

The hypothesis statement is: H0: number of days in receivable is less than or equal 45 The alternative hypothesis is Ha: number of days in receivable is more than 45 We use a 1-sided t-test to test for 50 accounts (n=50)

Step 1: H0: 45 Ha: >45


Step 3: a tone tailed test has one rejection point: t,df=t0.05,49=1.677

Example: Mean Return on S&P 500

The realized mean monthly return on the S&P 500 in the 1980s appears to have been substantially different from that in the 1970s. Was the difference statistically significant?

The data, shown on the next slide, indicate that assuming equal population variances for returns in the two decades is not unreasonable. But if you assumed unequal variances, would you reach a different conclusion?

Assume 5% level of significance

Mean Differences Samples Not Independent

Reminder: In the previous two t-tests, samples are assumed to be independent

If the samples are not independent, a test of mean difference is done using paired observations.

1. H0: d = d0 versus HA: d d0

2. H0: d d0 versus HA: d > d0 3. H0: d d0 versus HA: d < d0

where d stands for the population mean difference and d0 is a hypothesis value for the population mean difference

Detecting Outliers

An outlier is an observation that is unusual in comparison with the other data.

Minitab classifies an observation as an outlier if its standardized residual value is < -2 or > +2.

This standardized residual rule sometimes fails to identify an unusually large observation as being an outlier.

This rules shortcoming can be circumvented by using studentized deleted residuals.

The |i th studentized deleted residual| will be larger than the |i th standardized residual|.
