Factoring
• Factoring, receivables factoring or debtor financing, is when a
company buys a debt or invoice from another company.
Factoring is also seen as a form of invoice discounting in many
markets and is very similar but just within a different context.
In this purchase, accounts receivable are discounted in order
to allow the buyer to make a profit upon the settlement of the
debt. Essentially factoring transfers the ownership of accounts
to another party that then chases up the debt.

Venture Capital
• Venture capital is financing that investors provide
to startup companies and small businesses that are
believed to have long-term growth potential. Venture
capital generally comes from well-off investors,
investment banks and any other financial
institutions. However, it does not always take just a
monetary form; it can be provided in the form of
technical or managerial expertise.

Commercial Bank

that accepts deposits, offers checking account
services, makes business, personal and mortgage
loans, and offers basic financial products
like certificates of deposit (CDs) and savings accounts
to individuals and small businesses. A commercial
bank is where most people do their banking, as
opposed to an investment bank.

Certificate of Deposit
• The certificate of deposit indicates that the investor has
deposited a sum of money for specified period of time and at
a specified rate of interest. CD rates, terms and dollar
amounts will vary from institution to institution. CDs are not
publicly traded securities. As such, you will not find them
traded on any exchange. You can also purchase CDs through
a stockbroker. Because brokers have access to CDs from many
institutions across the country, investors have more choices in
regard to terms and yield.

Time Value of Money
• The time value of money (TVM) is the concept that
money available at the present time is worth more
than the identical sum in the future due to its
potential earning capacity. This core principle
of finance holds that, provided money can earn
interest, any amount of money is worth more the
sooner it is received. TVM is also sometimes referred
to as present discounted value.

Valuation of Financial Securities,
Instruments & Derivatives
• Security valuation is important to decide on the
portfolio of an investor. All investment decisions are
to be made on a scientific analysis of the right price
of a share. Hence, an understanding of the valuation
of securities is essential. Investors should buy
underpriced shares and sell overpriced shares. Share
pricing is thus an important aspect of trading.
Conceptually, four types of valuation models are
discernible.

the marketplace, finance is emerging as the
business function that holds the corporation
together at the top management level.
2. If markets are "perfect", (perfect competition,
perfect information, rational market participants,
no externalities), economic theory has
demonstrated that an efficient allocation of
resources will result.

interest, called the bond’s coupon.
– Second, bonds typically have a limited life, or maturity.
– Third, a bond’s coupon rate equals the bond’s annual
coupon payment divided by its par value.
– Fourth, a bond’s coupon yield equals the coupon payment
divided by the bond’s current market price

Capital Budgeting
Capital budgeting is the process in which a business
determines and evaluates potential expenses or
investments that are large in nature. These
expenditures and investments include projects such
as building a new plant or investing in a long-term
venture. Often times, a prospective project's lifetime
cash inflows and outflows are assessed in order to
determine whether the potential returns generated
meet a sufficient target.

Capital Budgeting Techniques
• Payback Period measures the time in which the initial cash
flow is returned by the project. Cash flows are not discounted.
Lower payback period is preferred.
• Net Present Value (NPV) is equal to initial cash outflow less
sum of discounted cash inflows. Higher NPV is preferred and
an investment is only viable if its NPV is positive.
• Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) is the profitability of the
project calculated as projected total net income divided by
initial or average investment. Net income is not discounted.

• Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate at which net
present value of the project becomes zero. Higher IRR should
be preferred.
• Profitability Index (PI) is the ratio of present value of future
cash flows of a project to initial investment required for the
project.

Standard Deviation
• The standard deviation is a statistic that measures
the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is
calculated as the square root of the variance. It is
calculated as the square root of variance by
determining the variation between each data point
relative to the mean. If the data points are further
from the mean, there is higher deviation within the
data set; thus, the more spread out the data, the
higher the standard deviation.

Decision Tree

possible solutions to a decision based on
certain conditions. It's called a decision tree

Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate
• An estimation of the present value of cash for high risk
investments is known as risk-adjusted discount rate. A very
common example of risky investment is the real estate. Risk
adjusted discount rate is representing required periodical
returns by investors for pulling funds to the specific property.
It is generally calculated as a sum of risk free rate and risk
premium. The variation of risk premium is depending on the
risk aversion of investor and the perception of investor about
the size of property’s investment risk.
Risk-adjusted discount rate = Risk free rate + Risk premium
