Answer: What you have:
Enterprise Value = PV(Future FCF) = = $400 million
Market value = Enterprise Value + cash = $400 + $50 = $450 million
Share price = = = $45.00 × 4000 shares = $180,000 of stock.
What you want:

Market value = Enterprise Value + cash = $400 + $50 = $450 million
However, once the $50 million in cash is used to pay the dividend, the new market value becomes $450 - $50 = $400 Million
Share price = = = $40.00 × 4,000 shares = $160,000 of stock Dividends that you want to receive = 4,000 shares × $5 share = $20,000 cash
What you need to do:

【考试题型:1.名词解释(20分) 2.填空题(12分) 3.选择题(20分) 4.简答题(20分) 5.计算题(28分)】 第一章、导言 1、风险偏好 风险偏好是指为了实现目标,企业或个体投资者在承担风险的种类、大小等方面的基本态度。根据投资体对风险的偏好将其分为风险回避者、风险追求者和风险中立者。 ①风险回避:当预期收益率相同时,偏好于具有低风险的资产;而对于具有同样风险的资产,则钟情于具有高预期收益率的资产。 ②风险追求:当预期收益相同时,选择风险大的,因为这会给他们带来更大的效用。 ③风险中立:唯一标准是预期收益的大小,而不管风险状况如何。 2、风险的种类 ①按照性质:纯粹风险、投机风险 ②按照标的:财产风险、人身风险、责任风险、信用风险 ③按照行为:特定风险、基本风险 ④按照环境:静态风险、动态风险 ⑤按照原因:自然风险、社会风险、政治风险、经济风险、技术风险 3、系统性风险、非系统性风险 ①系统性风险 系统性风险即市场风险,即指由整体政治、经济、社会等环境因素对证券价格所造成的影响。系统性风险包括政策风险、经济周期性波动风险、利率风险、购买力风险、汇率风险等不可通过分散投资来消除的风险。其造成后果具有普遍性。 ②非系统性风险 非系统性风险是指对某个行业或个别证券产生影响的风险,它通常由某一特殊的因素引起,与整个证券市场的价格不存在系统的全面联系,而只对个别或少数证券的收益产生影响。 4、资本资产定价模型 (1)投资资产的回报和市场投资组合回报的线性关系:R = α + βRM + ε 其中:R为投资资产回报,RM为市场投资组合回报,α和β都是常数,βRM对应系统风险,ε对应非系统风险。 (2)预期的回报(资本资产定价模型): E(R) = RF + β[E(RM) - RF] ,RF为无风险利率 说明:某投资的期望值超出无风险投资回报的数量等于市场投资资产组合回报期望值超出无风险投资回报数量与的β乘积。 (3)阿尔法:α=RP-RF-β(RM-RF),α通常表示投资组合的额外回报量。 投资经理会不断努力来产生正的α:①寻找比市场表现更好的股票;②市场择时,当预计市场上涨时将资金从国债投资转移到股票市场,当预计市场下跌时将资金从股票市场转移到国债投资。 5、股票分析的方法K线组合中的技术分析:连续小阴小阳,后市必有大阳。 (1)基本分析:通过对决定企业内在价值和影响股票价格的相关因素进行详尽分析,以大概测算上市公司的长期投资价值和安全边际,并与当前的股票价格进行比较,形成相应的投资建议。 基本分析认为股价波动不可能被准确预测,而只能在有足够安全边际的情况下买入股票并长期持有。(2)技术分析:以股票价格作为主要研究对象,以预测股价波动趋势为主要目的,从股价变化的历史图表入手,对股票市场波动规律进行分析。 技术分析认为市场行为包容消化一切,股价波动可以定量分析和预测。 (3)演化分析:将股市波动的生命运动特性作为主要研究对象,对市场波动方向与空间进行动态跟踪研究。演化分析认为股价波动无法准确预测,着重为投资人建立一种科学观察和理解股市波动逻辑的全新的分析框架。 6、买空卖空的定义 买空:是指投资者用借入的资金买入证券。卖空:是指投资者自己没有证券而向他人借入证券后卖出。
上财经济学真题 Document serial number【NL89WT-NY98YT-NC8CB-NNUUT-NUT108】
一、判断题(每小题1分) 1、给定消费者偏好,如果两种商品之间满足边际替代率递减,那么这两种商品的边际效用一定递减。 2、在垄断市场上,一种商品需求的价格弹性越大,垄断定价中成本加成系数减少。 3、如果一种商品的收入效应为正,那么当价格下降时,消费者剩余的变化(△CS)、补偿变差(CV)和等价变差(EV)大小满足:∣EV∣>∣△CS∣>∣CV ∣。 4、如果李三的偏好可以用函数Max{x,y}表示,那么他的偏好是凸的。 5、如果消费者偏好可以用C-D效用函数表示,那么,消费者在一种商品上的支出占总支出的比例不随价格或收入改变而变化 6、对于一个公平的赌博,即期望的净收益为零,此时判断一个人是否是风险爱好,取决于他是否会接受公平的赌博。 7、在博弈情形中,如果扩大一个参与者的策略集,那么至少该参与者的福利不会下降。 8、福利经济学第二定理告诉我们,只要所有交易者具有理性、严格递增偏好,那么每一个帕累托有效的配置都是某一竞争均衡的结果。 9、在外部性问题中,如果每个消费者具有拟线性偏好,那么帕累托有效配置独立于产权分配。 10.、道德风险问题是由于交易一方不能观察另一方类型或质量导致的。 11、新古典经济增长模型与内生经济增长模型的主要区别是,前者没有考虑技术进步,,后者包含了技术进步。 12、货币中性主要是指货币供给变动只影响名义变量,而不影响实际变量。 13、对汇率固定、资本只有流动的小国开放经济,财政政策比货币政策更有效。 14、货币需求交易理论注重货币收益,货币需求资产组合理论注重货币成本。 15.、与政策相关的“时间不一致性”是指当政者宣布政策的目的在于麻痹公众,以达到自己的党派利益。 16、在计算GDP时,企业购买的新厂房及办公用房应当计入投资,而个人购买的新住房应计入消费。 17、在物价为黏性的时间范围内,古典二分法不再成立,并且经济会背离古典模型所预言的均衡。 18、根据货币需求的资产组合理论,股票的实际预期收益不影响货币需求。 19、正如凯恩斯一样,许多经济学家相信在经济衰退时,投资相对无弹性,因此,利益的降低对投资和国民收入几乎没有什么影响。 20、资本与劳动在生产上是可以相互替换的,这是新古典增长模型的假设条件。 二、单项选择题(每小题1分) 21、在两商品经济中,王四觉得商品1越来越好,商品2越多越糟,那么__. A、无差异曲线一定是凸向原点的; B、无差异曲线一定向右上方倾斜; C、无差异曲线可能是呈椭圆形; D、以上都不是 22、在下列效用函数中,哪一个具有风险规避(risk-aversion)倾向,这里x 代表财富水平。 A、u(x)=100+3x B、u(x)=lnx C、u(x)=x2 D、以上都不是
