FINANCIAL DECISIONS
(i.e. capital budgeting/ investment decisions)
Key factors influencing financial decisions
Corporate Finance
1. RETURN
r = rf + Expected Risk PremiumWhere:“rf” = Free Risk Return “Expected Risk Premium” = extra expected return required
by adverse risk investors for taking on risk
2. RISK
- Risk in investment means that future returns are UNPREDICTABLE
- Risk states the possibility that Effective Return can “deviates” from Expected Return (the spread of possible returns is measured by standard deviation)
Key factors influencing financial decisions
Corporate Finance
3. TIME
Financial value of time is connected to:
Risk (it is propotional to the probability that expected
return will be effectively realized)
Flexibility
Temporal distribution of value
Key factors influencing financial decisions
Corporate Finance
DEFINITION:
We define the company cost of capital as “the expected return
on portfolio of all the company’s existing securities”.
That portfolio usually includes DEBT as well as EQUITY.
ASSUMPTIONS:
Every company’s financial fonts have a cost
The returns to investors vary according to the risk the have
borne
RISK = COST OF CAPITAL
The cost of capital
Corporate Finance
The cost of Equity capital (Ke) 1/2
In general terms, in order to estimate “Ke” it is necessary to
consider the OPPORTUNITY COST, defined as “the expected
return on other securities with the same degree of risk”.
It means that:
A potential shareholder will invest in a company’s capital only if
the expected return is at least equal to the return that can be
earned in the capital market on securities of comparable risk.
Ke = rf + Risk Premium
Corporate Finance
When it is possible to estimate the enterprise
market value, the correct ratio to calculate “Ke”
is:
Ke = EPS / P*
Where:
EPS = Earning per Share
P*= Market Value
The cost of Equity capital (Ke) 2/2
Corporate Finance
Kd = i (1-t)
Where:
i = Interest Rate on Debt
(1-t) = Fiscal Effect due to interest tax
deductibility
The cost of Debt (Kd)
Corporate Finance
The WACC is the average rate of return demanded by
investors in the company’s debt and equity
securities:
WACC = [Ke E / (E + D)] + [Kd D / (E + D)]
Where:
E = Equity
D = Debt
Ke > WACC > Kd
The Weighted-Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
Corporate Finance
The Risk/Return relationship 1/4
r = rf + Expected Risk Premium
Where:“rf” = Free Risk Return
“Expected Risk Premium” = extra expected return required by adverse risk investors for taking on risk
From which:Expected Risk Premium = r – rf
Corporate Finance
• HOW TO ESTIMATE RETURN FREE RISK (rf) AND
EXPECTED RISK PREMIUM?
rf = the interest rate free risk is conventionally the return
on Treasury bills: it is fixed and unaffected by what
happens to the market.
Expected Risk Premium = r – rf
= β · (rm – rf)

The Risk/Return relationship 3/4
• THE CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL (CAPM)
It states that in a competitive market the expected
risk premium on each investment is proportional to
its Beta.Expected Return on Investment
Security market line
Treasury Bills (β = 0)
Market portfolio (β = 1)

β
…This means that each investment should lie on the sloping security market line connecting Treasury Bills and the Market Portfolio.
0 1
Corporate Finance
• THE CAPM CONCLUSION
An investor can always obtain an Expected Risk
Premium of β (rm –rf) by holding a mixture of the
Market Portfolio and a Risk Free loan
The most efficient way to decrease risk is
DIVERSIFICATION
The Risk/Return relationship 4/4
Corporate Finance
The Markovitz Portfolio Theory
Markovitz Theory is based on the concept that
DIVERSIFICATION REDUCES VARIABILITY (standard
deviation = risk).
The market portfolio is made up of individual stocks, but its
variability doesn’t reflect the average variability of its
components.
Diversification works because prices of different stocks do
not move exactly together.
VARIABILITY = RISK = COST OF CAPITAL
Corporate Finance
Unique Risk and Market Risk 1/3
The risk that potentially can be eliminated by diversification is called
UNIQUE RISK (also called SPECIFIC RISK or UNSYSTEMATIC RISK). It
stems from the fact that many of the perils that surround an individual
company are peculiar to that company and perhaps its immediate
competitors.
It is impossible to totally eliminate risk, because it is impossible to have
stock prices perfectly correlated.
…That is why…
… Diversification reduces risk rapidly at first, than more slowly, untill a point
in which the effect on standard deviation (risk) is null.
Corporate Finance
There is also some risk that it is impossible to avoid, regardless of
how much a company diversify.This risk is generally known as
MARKET RISK (also called SYSTEMATIC RISK).
Market risk stems from the fact that there are other economywide
perils that treaten all businesses.
… That is why…
… Stocks have a tendency to move together, and investors are
exposed to market uncertainities, no matter how many stocks
they hold.

How to estimate the Market Risk (β)
From CAPM:
Expected Risk Premium = r – rf
= β · (rm – rf)
MARKET RISK: the Beta of an individual security measures its
SENSITIVITY to market movements.
ß = % re / % rm
Where:
“re” = Expected Return from security
“rm“ = Expected Return on Market
Corporate Finance
The meaning of “Beta”
MARKET RISK: the Beta of an individual security
measures its SENSITIVITY to market movements.
Stocks with β > 1 = tend to amplify the overall
movements of the market;
Stocks with 0< β <1 = tend to move in the same direction
as the market, but not as far.
Corporate Finance
Return on Stock A (%)
Return on Market (%)1.0
1.26
The Return on Stock A changes on average by 1.26% for each additional 1% change in the Market Return. Beta is therefore 1.26
β
- When the market rises an extra 1%, stock A price will rise by 1.26%
- When the market falls an extra 2%, stock A price falls an extra 2X1.26= 2.52%
The meaning of “Beta”
Corporate Finance
The risk of a well-diversified portfolio depends on the Market Risk of the securities included in the portfolio
How do individual securities affect portfolio risk?
