🗑
Formula: Call Price (Long Position)   P(c) = P(buy) x (1-IM / 1-MM)  
🗑
Formula: Call Price (Short Position)   P(c) = P(sell) x (1+IM / 1+MM)  
🗑
Buying Power   Additional amount investors can borrow and invest in securities w/o putting up additional cash; you can borrow up to the amount that makes your margin 50%  
🗑
Formula: Buying Power (BP)   BP = [(1/IM) - 1] (x) equity (x) debt  
🗑
Profit (Long Position)   end.value - beg.value + dividends - buy comm. - sell comm. - interest paid on margin loan  
🗑
Profit (Short Position)   beg.value - end.value - dividends - sell comm. - buy comm. - interest paid on margin loan + interest recv'd on margin deposit

🗑
Problems w/ Stock Price Index   (1) ignores no. of shares outstanding (2) does not account for stock splits (3) does not account for new listing or delisting  
🗑
Solution to Stock Price Index Issues   Given three stocks (A)=10, (B)=11, (C)=12; w/ stock split of A, Index(t) = 9.33 but should equal 11; solution? Find new divisor. Index after the split: (5+11+12) / d =11, so d = (5+11+12) / 11 = 2.5454  
🗑
Formula: Value Weighted Index   Index(t) = ∑MV(t) / n  
🗑
Problems w/ Value Weighted Index   (1) listing and delisting (2) scale  
🗑
Solution to Value Weighted Index Issues   For listing and delisting, change divisor so that index does not change; for issues w/ scale (total MV can be in billions) convert to % of base index  
🗑
Formula: Equally Weighted Index   Index(t) = ∑R(i) / n  
🗑
Stock Return   R = (P1-P0+D) / P0  
🗑
Stock Return (2-for-1 split)   Dividend before the split: R = (2*P1-P0+D) / P0; After the split: R = (2*P1-P0+2*D) / P0

🗑
Formula: Real Return (adjusted for inflation)   R(R) = [(1+R(N)) / (1+inflation)] - 1

🗑

🗑
Beta of Company w/ debt (βL)   βL = βu[1+(1-t)*(D/E)]  
🗑
