Annuity and perpetuity with growth:
Annuity with growth:
n
CFt+1 1+g
P Vt = 1−
r−g 1+r
Perpetuity with growth:
CFt+1
P Vt =
r−g
where P Vt represents the present value at time t, r is the discount rate, g is the
rate of growth, n is the number of periods for the annuity, and CFt is the cash
flow at time t.
Changing rate frequencies:
AP R
1 + P Rn = 1 +
n
1
1 + rn = (1 + EAR) n
where P Rn is the proportional rate with a frequency implying n periods within
a year, EAR is the effective annual rate, rn is the effective rate at a frequency
higher than annual, n is the times a year we observe the new frequency, and
AP R is the annual proportional rate.

Portfolios: Consider N assets indexed by i, then the expected return of
the portfolio with a weight wi in asset i is:
N

E(rp ) = wi E(ri )
i=1
The variance of the portfolio return is
N
X N X
X
V (rp ) = wi2 V (ri ) + 2 wi wj cov(ri , rj )
i=1 i=1 i<j
The asset beta is given by:
cov(ri , rm )
βi =
V (rm )
and the beta of the portfolio is
N
X
βp = wi β i
i=1
The correlation of assets i and j is given by:
cov(ri , rj )
ρij = p
V (ri )V (rj )
E indicates the expectation operator, V the variance operator, and cov the
covariance. βi corresponds to the CAPM β of asset i. rm is the market portfolio
return.
Basic statistics: If we have a sample {x1 , ..., xN }, we can define the fol-
lowing sample moments:
