Finance FAQs
How do I calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR)?
Discount future cash flows back to present value using a specified cost of capital for NPV, and find the discount rate that sets NPV to zero for IRR.
What is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and how do I use it?
CAPM calculates expected asset return based on the risk-free rate, asset beta (systematic risk), and market risk premium using the formula: $E(R_i) = R_f + \beta_i(E(R_m) - R_f)$.
How do I construct a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation model?
Forecast free cash flows for a projection period, calculate terminal value, and discount all cash flows back at the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
What is the difference between systematic and unsystematic risk?
Systematic risk (market risk) affects the entire market and cannot be diversified away. Unsystematic risk (specific risk) affects a single company or industry and can be mitigated through portfolio diversification.
How do I analyze corporate financial statements using ratio analysis?
Evaluate liquidity (current ratio), solvency (debt-to-equity), profitability (ROE, profit margin), and asset turnover ratios to assess overall financial health.
What is working capital management and why is it important?
Working capital management involves optimizing current assets (inventory, receivables) and current liabilities (payables) to ensure short-term operational liquidity.
How do I price bonds and calculate yield to maturity (YTM)?
Determine bond price by calculating the present value of coupon payments plus the present value of the par value face amount discounted at market interest rates.
What is capital structure optimization and Modigliani-Miller theorem?
Examine how a firm finances its operations through debt and equity, and study Modigliani-Miller propositions regarding firm value under tax and no-tax assumptions.
How do I evaluate portfolio risk and return using modern portfolio theory?
Calculate expected portfolio return and variance, and plot the efficient frontier to find the optimal asset allocation maximizing return for a given risk level.
