Value at risk

estimating risk parameters (such as beta and standard deviation) require market prices for equity, an input that is lacking for private firms. When valuing private firms, the motive for the valuation matters and can affect the value. In particular, the value that is attached to a publicly traded firm may be different when it is being valued for sale to an individual, for sale to a publicly traded firm or for an initial public offering. In particular, whether there should be a discount on value for illiquidity

and financial liabilities When a financial asset or financial liability is recognised initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability.

appreciate and by what annual percentage. We have a today’s spot rate of $1.30/€ and the expected spot rate in one year is $1.20/€. In our case, we will need fewer US dollars to get 1€ that is that the Us dollars is expected to appreciate and that its value compared to the euro will be higher in one year. To find by what annual percentage the Us Dollars is expecting to appreciate we have to convert the exchange rates from dollars to euro in order to know the amount of Euros to obtain one dollar. As we

higher or lower than the cost of equity computed using the security market line? Why? (Consider only projects that have similar risk to that of the firm.) 3. (RWJ, exercise 12.13) Calculate the weighted average cost of capital for the Luxury Porcelain Company. The book value of Luxury’s outstanding debt is $60 million. Currently, the debt is trading at 120 percent of book value and is priced to yield 12 percent. The 5 million outstanding shares of Luxury stock are selling for $20 a share. The required

deviennent normes, comme lors de la crise des Subprimes. A ce titre, la Value-at-Risk, qui peut se définir comme le quantile déterminant la plus grande perte que peut subir un portefeuille avec une probabilité d'occurrence déterminé, permet de mesurer ce risque extrême. La théorie des valeurs extrêmes (TVE), étudiée dans le cadre de la recherche d'évènements rares d'une suite de variable s aléatoires indépendantes, associée à la Value-at-Risk peut être un excellent indicateur. Ce mémoire de recherche prend

CHF 948.886 million at year end compared to CHF 596.613 at the end of 2008, an increase of CHF 352.273 million or 59%. The reduced result and the increase in the balance sheet total are the consequence of exceptional circumstances in 2009 and result from the financial crisis in the latter part of 2008. The historic drop in interest rates, accompanied by the uncertainties surrounding the global financial sector had the combined effect of reducing the bank's interest margin at the same time as swelling
