Regression Analysis— Problem s
• Heteroskedasticity. Non-constant error variance.
Detect with Breusch-Pagan test. Correct with
White-corrected standard errors.
• Autocorrelation. Correlation among error
terms. Detect with Durbin-Watson test; positive
autocorrelation if D W < d(. Correct by adjusting
standard errors using Hansen method.
• Multicollinearity. High correlation among Xs.

Detect if F-test significant, t-tests insignificant.
Correct by dropping X variables.
• Omitting a variable.
• Variable should be transformed.
• Incorrectly pooling data.
• Using lagged dependent vbl. as independent vbl.
• Forecasting the past.

Confidence Interval: bj ± |tc X sg
SST = RSS + SSE.
M SR = RSS / k.

• Measuring independent variables with error.
Effects o f M isspecification
Regression coefficients are biased and inconsistent,
lack o f confidence in hypothesis tests o f the
coefficients or in the model predictions.
Linear trend model: yt = b0 + b,t + £t
Log-linear trend model: ln(yt ) = b0 + b,t + £t
Covariance stationary: mean and variance don’t
change over time. To determine if a time series is
covariance stationary, (1) plot data, (2) run an AR
model and test correlations, and/or (3) perform
Dickey Fuller test.
Unit root: coefficient on lagged dep. vbl. = 1. Series
with unit root is not covariance stationary. First
differencing will often eliminate the unit root.

Endogenous Growth Theory
• Investment in capital can have constant returns.
• | in savings rate —> permanent T in growth rate.
• R & D expenditures ] technological progress.
Classifications o f Regulations
• Statutes: Laws made by legislative bodies.
• A dm inistrative regulations: Issued by government.
• Ju d icia l law : Findings o f the court.
Classifications o f Regulators
• Can be government agencies or independent.

• Independent regulator can be SRO or non-SRO.
Self-Regulation in Financial Markets
• Independent SROs are more prevalent in
common-law countries than in civil-law countries.
Econom ic Rationale for Regulatory Intervention
• Inform ationalfriction s arise in the presence o f
information asymmetry.
• Externalities deal with provision o f public goods.
Regulatory Interdependencies and T heir Effects
Regulatory capture theory: Regulatory body is
influenced or controlled by industry being regulated.
Regulatory arbitrage: Exploiting regulatory differences
between jurisdictions, or difference between
substance and interpretation o f a regulation.
Tools o f Regulatory Intervention
• Price mechanisms, restricting or requiring certain
activities, and provision o f public goods or
financing o f private projects.
Regulations Covering Com m erce
• Company law, tax law, contract law, competition
law, banking law, bankruptcy law, and dispute
resolution system.
F in an cial m arket regulations: Seek to protect
investors and to ensure stability o f financial system.
Securities m arket regulations: Include disclosure
requirements, regulations to mitigate agency
conflicts, and regulations to protect small investors.
P rudential supervision: Monitoring institutions to
reduce system-wide risks and protect investors.
Anticompetitive Behaviors and Antitrust Laws

• Discriminatory pricing, bundling, exclusive dealing.
• Mergers leading to excessive market share blocked.
N et regulatory burden: Costs to the regulated
entities minus the private benefits o f regulation.
Sunset clauses: Require a cost-benefit analysis to be
revisited before the regulation is renewed.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Accounting for Intercorporate Investments
Investment in Financial Assets: <20% owned, no
significant influence.
• Held-to-maturity at cost on balance sheet; interest
and realized gain/loss on income statement.
• Available-for-sale at FM V with unrealized gains/
losses in equity on B/S; dividends, interest,
realized gains/losses on I/S.
• Held-for-trading at FMV; dividends, interest,
realized and unrealized gains/losses on I/S.
• Designated as fair value —like held for trading.
Investments in Associates: 20—50% owned,
significant influence. With equity method, prorata share o f the investee’s earnings incr. B/S inv.
acct., also in I/S. Div. received decrease investment
account (div. not in I/S).
Business Combinations: >50% owned, control.
Acquisition method required under U.S. GAAP
and IFRS. Goodwill not amortized, subject to

annual impairment test. All assets, liabilities,
revenue, and expenses o f subsidiary are combined
with parent, excluding intercomp, trans. If <100%,

minority interest acct. for share not owned.
Joint Venture: 50% shared control. Equity method.
Financial Effect o f Choice o f M ethod
Equity, acquisition, & proportionate consolidation:
• All three methods report same net income.
• Assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses
are higher under acquisition compared to the
equity method.
Differences between IFRS and U .S. GAAP
treatm ent o f intercorporate investments include:
• Unrealized FX gains and losses on available-for-sale
debt securities recognized on income statement
under IFRS and as O CI under U.S. GAAP.
• IFRS permits either the “partial goodwill” or
“full goodwill” methods to value goodwill and
noncontrolling interest. U.S. GAAP requires the
full goodwill method.
Pension Accounting
• PBO components: current service cost, interest
cost, actuarial gains/losses, benefits paid.
Balance Sheet
• Funded status = plan assets —PBO = balance sheet
asset (liability) under GAAP and IFRS.
Income Statement
• Total periodic pension cost (under both IFRS and
GAAP) = contributions —A funded status.
• IFRS and GAAP differ on where the total
periodic pension cost (TPPC) is reflected (Income
statement vs. O CI).
• Under GAAP, periodic pension cost in P&L

= service cost + interest cost ± amortization o f
actuarial (gains) and losses + amortization o f past
service cost —expected return on plan assets.
• Under IFRS, reported pension expense = service
cost + past service cost + net interest expense.
• Under IFRS, discount rate = expected rate o f return
on plan assets. Net interest expense = discount rate
x beginning funded status. If funded status was
positive, a net interest income would be recognized.
Total Periodic Pension C ost
TPPC = ending PBO —beginning PBO + benefits
paid - actual return on plan assets
TPPC = contributions —(ending funded status beginning funded status)
Cash Flow Adjustment
If TPPC < firm contribution, difference = A in
PBO (reclassify difference from CFF to CFO aftertax). If TPPC > firm contribution, diff = borrowing
(reclassify difference from CFO to CFF after-tax).
M ultinational Operations: Choice o f M ethod
For self-contained sub, functional ^ presentation
currency; use current rate method:
• Assets/liabilities at current rate.
• Common stock at historical rate.
• Income statement at average rate.
• Exposure = shareholders’ equity.
• Dividends at rate when paid.
For integrated sub., functional = presentation
currency, use temporal method:
• Monetary assets/liabilities at current rate.
• Nonmonetary assets/liabilities at historical rate.
• Sales, SGA at average rate.

• CO G S, depreciation at historical rate.
• Exposure = monetary assets - monetary liabilities.
Net asset position & depr. foreign currency = loss.
Net liab. position & depr. foreign currency = gain.
Original F/S vs. All-Current
• Pure BS and IS ratios unchanged.
• If LC depreciating (appreciating), translated
mixed ratios will be larger (smaller).

Hyperinflation: GAAP vs. IFRS
Hyperinfl. = cumul. infl. > 100% over 3 yrs. GAAP:
use temporal method. IFRS: 1st, restate foreign
curr. st. for infl. 2nd, translate with current rates.
Net purch. power gain/loss reported in income.
Beneish model: Used to detect earnings
manipulation based on eight variables.
High-quality earnings are:
1. Sustainable: Expected to recur in future.
2. Adequate: Cover company’s cost o f capital.
IFRS A N D U .S. GAAP D IFFER E N C ES
Reclassification of passive investments:
IFRS —Restricts reclassification into/out o f FVPL.
U.S. GAAP —No such restriction.
Impairment losses on passive investments:
IFRS —Reversal allowed if due to specific event.
U.S. GAAP —No reversal o f impairment losses.
Fair value accounting, investment in associates:
IFRS —Only for venture capital, mutual funds, etc.
U.S. GAAP —Fair value accounting allowed for all.
Goodwill impairment processes:

IFRS - 1 step (recoverable amount vs. carrying value)
U.S. GAAP — 2 steps (identify; measure amount)
Acquisition method contingent asset recognition:
IFRS —Contingent assets are not recognized.
U.S. GAAP —Recognized; recorded at fair value.
Prior service cost:
IFRS —Recognized as an expense in P&L.
U.S. GAAP - Reported in O CI; amortized to P&L.
Actuarial gains/losses:
IFRS —Remeasurements in O CI and not amortized.
U.S. GAAP —OCI, amortized with corridor approach.
Dividend/interest income and interest expense:
IFRS —Either operating or financing cash flows.
U.S. GAAP —Must classify as operating cash flow.

CORPORATE FINANCE
Capital Budgeting Expansion
• Initial ouday = FCInv + WCInv
• CF = (S - C - D ) ( l - T ) + D = (S - C )(l - T ) + D T
• T N O C F = SaLr + NW CInv - T(Salr - B.r)
Capital Budgeting Replacement
• Same as expansion, except current after-tax salvage
o f old assets reduces initial outlay.
• Incremental depreciation is A in depreciation.
Evaluating Projects with Unequal Lives
• Least common multiple o f lives method.
• Equivalent annual annuity (EAA) method:

annuity w/ PV equal to PV o f project cash flows.


Effects o f Inflation
• Discount nominal (real) cash flows at nominal (real)
rate; unexpected changes in inflation affect project
profitability; reduces the real tax savings from
depreciation; decreases value of fixed payments to
bondholders; affects costs and revenues differently.
Capital Rationing
• If positive NPV projects > available capital,
choose the combination with the highest NPV.
Real Options
• Timing, abandonment, expansion, flexibility,
fundamental options.
Econom ic and Accounting Income
• Econ income = AT CF + A in project’s MV.
• Econ dep. based on A in investment’s MV.
• Econ income is calculated before interest expense
(cost o f capital is reflected in discount rate).
• Accounting income = revenues - expenses.
• Acc. dep’n based on original investment cost.
• Interest (financing costs) deducted before
calculating accounting income.
Valuation Models
• Economic profit = NO PAT - $WACC
• Market Value Added =
t= i (1 + W A C C ) r
• Residual income: = NI —equity charge;
discounted at required return on equity.

• Claims valuation separates CFs based on equity
claims (discounted at cost o f equity) and debt
holders (discounted at cost o f debt).
M M Prop I (No Taxes): capital structure irrelevant
(no taxes, transaction, or bankruptcy costs).
VV L= VVU
M M Prop II (No Taxes): increased use o f cheaper
debt increases cost o f equity, no change in WACC.
r e = < b + f O b - r d)
M M Proposition I (With Taxes): tax shield adds
value, value is maximized at 100% debt.
VL = Vu + ( t x d )
M M Proposition II (With Taxes): tax shield adds
value, WACC is minimized at 100% debt.

Investor Preference Theories
• M M ’s dividend irrelevance theory: In a no-tax/
no-fee world, dividend policy is irrelevant because
investors can create a homemade dividend.
• Dividend preference theory says investors prefer the
certainty o f current cash to future capital gains.
• Tax aversion theory: Investors are tax averse to
dividends; prefer companies buy back shares.
Effective Tax Rate on Dividends
D ouble taxation or split rate systems:
eff. rate = corp. rate + (1 - corp. rate)(indiv. rate)
Im putation system: effective tax rate is the
shareholder’s individual tax rate.
Signaling Effects o f Dividend Changes

In itiation : ambiguous signal.
Increase: positive signal.
D ecrease: negative signal unless management sees
many profitable investment opportunities.

the current payout ratio is below the target payout
ratio, an investor can estimate future dividends
through the following formula:

Dividend Coverage Ratios
dividend coverage ratio = net income / dividends
FCFE coverage ratio
= FCFE / (dividends + share repurchases)
Share Repurchases
• Share repurchase is equivalent to cash dividend,
assuming equal tax treatment.
• Unexpected share repurchase is good news.
• Rationale for: (1) potential tax advantages, (2) share
price support/signaling, (3) added flexibility, (4)
offsetting dilution from employee stock options,
and (5) increasing financial leverage.
Dividend Policy Approaches
• Residual dividend: dividends based on earnings
less funds retained to finance capital budget.
• Longer-term residual dividend: forecast capital
budget, smooth dividend payout.
• Dividend stability: dividend growth aligned with
sustainable growth rate.
• Target payout ratio: long-term payout ratio target.
Stakeholder impact analysis (SIA): Forces firm to
identify the most critical groups.
Ethical Decision Making
Friedman Doctrine: Only responsibility is to
increase profits “within the rules o f the game. ”
Utilitarianism: Produce the highest good for the
largest number o f people.

Kantian ethics: People are more than just an
economic input and deserve dignity and respect.
Rights theories: Even if an action is legal, it may
violate fundamental rights and be unethical.
Justice theories: Focus on a just distribution o f
economic output (e.g., “veil o f ignorance”) .
Corporate Governance Objectives
• Mitigate conflicts o f interest between
(1) managers and shareholders, and (2) directors
and shareholders.
• Ensure assets used to benefit investors and
stakeholders.
Merger Types: horizontal, vertical, conglomerate.
Merger Motivations: achieve synergies, more
rapid growth, increased market power, gain access
to unique capabilities, diversify, personal benefits
for managers, tax benefits, unlock hidden value,
achieving international goals, and bootstrapping
earnings.
Pre-Offer Defense Mechanisms: poison pills
and puts, reincorporate in a state w/ restrictive
takeover laws, staggered board elections, restricted
voting rights, supermajority voting, fair price
amendments, and golden parachutes.
Post-Offer Defense Mechanisms: litigation,
greenmail, share repurch, leveraged recap, the
“crown jewel,” “Pac-Man,” and “just say no”
defenses, and white knight/white squire.
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (H H I):
market power = sum o f squared market shares for

all industry firms. In a moderately-concentrated
industry (HHI 1,000 to 1,800), a merger is likely
to be challenged if H H I increases 100 points (or
increases 50 points for H H I >1,800).

M erger Risk & Reward
Cash offer: acquirer assumes risk & receives reward.
Stock offer: some o f risks & rewards shift to target. If
higher confidence in synergies; acquirer prefers cash
& target prefers stock.
Forms of divestitures: equity carve-outs, spin-offs,

split-offs, and liquidations.

Required return: Minimum expected return an
investor requires given an asset’s characteristics.
Internal rate of return (IRR): Equates discounted
cash flows to the current price.
Equity risk premium:
required return = risk-free rate + ((3 x ERP)
Gordon growth model equity risk premium:

Discounted Cash Flow (D C F) Methods
Use dividend discount models (DDM ) when:
• Firm has dividend history.
• Dividend policy is related to earnings.
• Minority shareholder perspective.

Use free cash flow (FCF) models when:
• Firm lacks stable dividend policy.
• Dividend policy not related to earnings.


Justified P /E
• FCF is related to profitability.
• Controlling shareholder perspective.
Use residual income (RI) when:
• Firm lacks dividend history.
• Expected FCF is negative.

Traditional theories:
Unbiased (pure) expectations theory.
Local expectations theory.
Liquidity preference theory.
Segmented markets theory.
Preferred habitat theory.
Modern term structure models:
Cox-Ingersoll-Ross: dr = a (b -r)^ + a fr d z
Vasicek model: dr = a(b - r)d t+ ad z
Ho-Lee model: drt = Qt dt+ a d z t

(L = level, S = steepness, C = curvature)
Yield volatility: Long-term <— uncertainty regarding
the real economy and inflation.
Short term <— uncertainty re: monetary policy.
Long-term yield volatility is generally lower than
volatility in short-term yields.

Commodities
Contango: futures prices > spot prices
Backwardation: futures prices < spot prices
Term Structure o f Comm odity Futures
1. Insurance theory: Contract buyers compensated
for providing protection to commodity producers.
Implies backwardation is normal.
2. Hedging pressure hypothesis: Like insurance
theory, but includes both long hedgers ( —>
contango) and short hedgers (—>backwardation).
3. Theory of storage: Spot and futures prices related
through storage costs and convenience yield.
Total return on fully collateralized long futures
= collateral return + price return + roll return
Roll return: positive in backwardation because longdated contracts are cheaper than expiring contracts.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio M anagement Planning Process
• Analyze risk and return objectives.
• Analyze constraints: liquidity, time horizon, legal
and regulatory, taxes, unique circumstances.
• Develop IPS: client description, purpose, duties,
objectives and constraints, performance review

schedule, modification policy, rebalancing
guidelines.

E(Rp) = Rp + Piu^i) + P p ,A ) + ••• + Pp,A )
Expected return = risk free rate
+ E (factor sensitivity) x (factor risk premium)
Value at risk (VaR) is an estimate o f the minimum
loss that will occur with a given probability over a
specified period, expressed as a currency amount or
as percentage o f portfolio value.
5% annual $VaR = (Mean annual return — 1.65
x annual standard deviation) x portfolio value
Conditional VaR (CVaR) is the expected loss given
that the loss exceeds the VaR.
Incremental VaR (IVaR) is the estimated change in
VaR from a specific change in the size o f a portfolio
position.
Marginal VaR (MVaR) is the estimate o f the
change in VaR for a small change in a portfolio
position and is used as an estimate o f the position’s
contribution to overall VaR.
