  • Comparing Debt Financing and Equity Financing

    1367 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are two basic ways of financing for a business: Debt financing and equity financing. Debt financing is defined as 'borrowing money that is to be repaid over a period of time, usually with interest" (Financing Basics, 1). The lender does not gain any ownership in the business that is borrowing. Equity financing is described as "an exchange of money for a share of business ownership" (Financing Basics, 1). This form of financing allows the business to obtain funds without having to repay a specific amount of money at any particular time. There are also a few different instruments that could be defined as either debt or equity. One such instrument is stock options that an employee can exercise after so many years with the company. Either using the debt or equity method, or a combination of the two methods can be used to account for stock options or other instruments with the similar characteristics.

  • Beta Essay

    940 Words  | 2 Pages

    In theory, market capitalisation weighted indices are preferred as compared to equally weighted indices due to the fact that they are superior proxies and are consistent with the true market portfolio. Some practitioners argue that there is a perceived segmentation between the Resources, Financial and Industrial sectors on the JSE and consequently prefer to use the Financial and Industrial Index as an overall market proxy for stocks belonging to this category. Choosing the correct market index in order to regress against, is a vital aspect. Stambaugh (1982) identifies that the CAPM tests are generally insensitive to the choice of market proxy. However, many believe that the broader the selected indices, the better the market proxies. In the UK market, the two main indices used are the FT 100 which is made up of the top 100 companies and the FT All Share Index which is made up of all companies traded on the exchange.

  • Essay On Capital Asset Pricing Model

    1344 Words  | 3 Pages

    Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is an ex ante concept, which is built on the portfolio theory established by Markowitz (Bhatnagar and Ramlogan 2012). It enhances the understanding of elements of asset prices, specifically the linear relationship between risk and expected return (Perold 2004). The direct correlation between risk and return is well defined by the security market line (SML), where market risk of an asset is associated with the return and risk of the market along with the risk free rate to estimate expected return on an asset (Watson and Head 1998 cited in Laubscher 2002).
