[edit] a. real risk-free rate, inflation, premiums
nominal risk-free rate = real risk-free rate + expected inflation rate
- default risk
- liquidity risk
- maturity risk
- required interest rate on a security
[edit] b. EAR
EAR = (1 + periodicrate)m − 1
[edit] c. FV, PV, annuity, perpetuity, annuity due, uneven cash flows
FV = PV(1 + I / Y)N
- FV of an annuity due: FVAD
- PV of an annuity due:
- Present value of a perpetuity
[edit] d. time line, time index, TVM applications (mortgages, retirement)
[edit] 6. Discounted Cash Flow Applications
[edit] a. Calculate NPV, IRR
- NPV
- IRR (internal rate of return): rate of return that equates PV
- or IRR: discount rate for wich NPV is 0
- NPV decision rules
- accept (reject) projects with a positive (negative) NPV
- project with higher NPV should be accepted in case of mutually exclusive projects
