Capital asset pricing model

I. Introduction There have been a number of models in the traditional finance paradigm which have the common assumption that the investors would act rationally and consider all sources of information in their marking or investing decisions. That would also lead to

2015 financial year (01/07/14) at $4.77 and closed on the last day of the financial year (30/06/15) at $3.23, thus the capital return for Western Areas shareholders is as follows for FY15; Capital Return=(Final Share Price-Initial Share Price)/(Initial Share Price)*100 =($3.23-$4.77)/$4.77*100=-32.29% As seen in the calculation above, shareholders of Western Areas received a capital loss of 32.29% for the 2015 financial year. Looking into the annual dividends, an interim dividend of 3c per share

Statement 2: “The Black and Scholes model is an ideal method to value Options” The Black Scholes Merton (BSM) model is the best-known model for valuing options as it is the original of many option pricing models today (Haug and Taleb, 2009; Le, 2015). Developed in 1973 by Fisher Black, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, the BSM model is still widely used today as the benchmark for many models and techniques that financial analysts use to analyse and determine the fair prices of given options (Jumarie

large sums of money into a theme park, based on the model of their competitor and surrogate company, Alice Limited. Given the facts, I will now try to establish whether the management’s decision to invest into this project is a well-documented and viable one. Further on, I will try to prepare a report analysing a few important aspects that managers should take into account when making such an investment appraisal, like the analysis of two main models used primarily when assessing the risk and return

able to move prices away from fundamental levels, it is assumed that rational arbitrageurs will quickly notice the mispricing and act appropriately. By selling the overpriced asset on one market and buying the same or similar asset on the other cheaper market, they will create additional market forces that will bring asset prices back to equilibrium levels. It is assumed that there are many rational arbitrageurs who act quickly and without any constrains. Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn

increasingly critical as not only stock agents find the critical importance but the government to implement macroeconomic policy; the solid finding of this relation will enable policy makers to efficiently and effectively control the economy as well as the capital market. We aim to cover some relationship between macroeconomic indicators, including consumption, interest rate unemployment rate and inflation rate, and with stock price. Stock price or

Operating margin = EBIT/Sales Invested capital turnover = Sales/Invested capital Return on invested capital = EBIT/Invested capital Financial multiplier = (EBT/EBIT) Å~ (Invested capital/Owners’ equity) Tax effect = EAT/EBT

mean-variance theory focuses on implementing an efficient portfolio. The efficient portfolio is not necessarily the growth optimal portfolio. The Black-Scholes option pricing model is completely compatible with the growth optimal theory. Fischer Black and Myron Scholes developed their option pricing model under the assumptions that asset prices adjust to prevent arbitrage, that stock prices change continuously, and that stock returns follow a log-normal distribution. Quantifying Uncertainty and Risk

the topic, which thus will assist for choosing suitable variables. Following what is mentioned above, it is able to apply good research methods to conduct the research. 2.1 Theories 2.1.1 Capital Asset Pricing Model Even though many articles are conducted to critically study the capital asset pricing model ( CAPM ), it is widely used around financial
