Q

What is a pro forma income statement?

FA attempts to determine the intrinsic value of a stock whereas TA is only concerned with trades that have occurred.

27
Q

What are contrary opinion rules?

A

The theory that most investors are wrong most of the time. In that case, an investor should then do the opposite.

Mutual fund cash position: when an investor holds cash, the contrarian invests

Odd-lot: if the investor is selling, the contrarian buys and vice versa

Investment advisory: If advice is bearish, the contrarian is bullish

Put-call ratio: indicators of bullish behaviors would lead the contrarian to be bearish

28
Q

Constant growth dividend discount model, multi-stage growth dividend discount model, and discounted free cash flow model are all what type of valuation method?

A

Intrinsic

29
Q

Price to earning, free-cash flow, and sales are all what type of valuation methods?

A

Relative

30
Q

What is the Price-to-Earning ratio?

A

Used to compare a company’s current market price to its EPS.

P/E = current market price / earnings per share (EPS)

31
Q

What is the Price-to-Earning Divided by Growth (PEG) ratio?

A

This is a measure of relative value that can be used to compare companies with different growth rates

PEG = P/E / g

32
Q

What is the Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow (P/FCF) ratio?

A

Measures how effectively the issuing company uses its free cash flow to generate earnings.

P / FCF = (1 + g) / (r - g)

33
Q

What is the Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio?

A

An indication of how much an investor is willing to pay for a revenue stream

P/S = market price per share / sales per share

34
Q

What is the no-growth (perpetuity) dividend discount model?

A

A stocks intrinsic value when the dividend is expected to remain constant

V = D0 / r

35
Q

What is the constant growth dividend discount model?

A

Used to determine an intrinsic value when the dividends are growing at a constant rate. Most appropriate for valuing mature companies.

V = D1 / r - g

OR (if given “current” year dividend)

V = [D0 x (1 + g)] / r - g

36
Q

What is the multistage growth dividend discount model?

A

Measures the intrinsic value of a stock when the dividend amount changes over time.

1. Compute the value of each future dividend until it stabilizes 
   D1 = $2 x 1.06 = $2.12
   D2 = $2.12 x 1.06 = $2.25
   D3 = $2.25 x 1.06 = $2.39
2. Use the constant growth dividend discount on the stabilized growth rate
   D4 = $2.39 x 1.07 = $2.56
   V = $2.56 / (1.07 - 1.06) = $128
3. Using uneven cash flows, solve for NPV
   CF0 = 0
   CF1 = $2.12
   CF2 =$2.25
   CF3 =$2.39 + 128 = $130.39
I/YR = 9% (required return)
Solve for NPV = 104.52
37
Q

What is the discounted Free Cash Flow Model?

A

Use this if a company does not or is not going to issue dividends

V = FCFE1 / r - g

OR

V = FCFE0 x (1 + g) / r - g

38
Q

What is the relationships in the value of PAR, the coupon rate, the yield to maturity, yield to call, and current yield?

A

Premium PAR = lower CR -> CY -> YTM -> YTC
PAR = CR = CY = YTM = YTC
Discount PAR = higher CR -> CY -> YTM -> YTC

39
Q

Price to earnings divided by growth (PEG) ratio

A

=P/E * g (do not turn into percentage)

40
Q

Intrinsic value (or PV) of bond formula… go!

A
N = years (annual or semi payments)
I/YR = bond rates
PV = solve
PMT = coupon rate * PAR / 2
FV = PAR
41
Q

Change in bond price formula

A

= -D ((chg) y / 1 + (cur) y)

42
Q

No growth (or constant) dividend discount formula

A

= stock price / r

43
Q

Duration of a bond formula… go!

A

N = 1, I/YR = bond rate, PV=solve, FV=(coupon rate * PAR); Yr 1 * PV
N = 2, I/YR = bond rate, PV=solve, FV=(coupon rate * PAR); Yr 2 * PV (etc…)
N=Last year, I/YR=bond rate, PV=solve, FV=(CR*PAR)+PAR; Yr * PV

Add all of FV column and divide by PV column to get duration

44
Q

ROE formula…go!

A

= Profit / equity (which is assets - liabilities)

45
Q

Formula for free cash flow to equity (FCFE) intrinsic value of stock… go!

A

=FCFE / r-g

46
Q

Constant growth dividend discount model formula…go!

A

=D1 / r - g

OR (if dividend is for current year)

=D0 (1 +g) / r - g

47
Q

Change in the market price of a bond formula… go!

A

ΔP/P = −D[Δy ÷ (1 + y(old yield))]

48
Q

Multistage dividend discount model formula… go!

$1.05 dividend @ 2% for 3 years, then 3%. r=6%

A

Compute the value of each future dividend until the growth rate stabilizes (years 1 through 3 for example).
D1 = $1.05 × 1.02 = $1.07
D2 = $1.07 × 1.02 = $1.09
D3 = $1.09 × 1.02 = $1.11

Use the constant growth dividend discount model to compute the remaining intrinsic value of the stock at the beginning of the year when the dividend growth rate stabilizes (year 4).

D4 = $1.11 × 1.03 = $1.14
V = $1.14 ÷ (0.06 – 0.03) = $38.00
Use the uneven cash flow method to solve for the net present (intrinsic) value of the stock.
CF0 = $0
CF1 = $1.07
CF2 = $1.09
CF3 = $1.11 + $38.00 = $39.11
I/YR = 6%
Solve for NPV = 34.8170, or $34.82
49
Q

Convexity has an inverse relationship with all aspects of a bond except?

A

Time to Maturity - direct relationship
