This document summarizes key concepts from chapters 6-13 of a finance textbook on risk and return, bonds, stocks, and capital budgeting. It defines rate of return, expected rate of return, risk/standard deviation, beta coefficient, correlation, security market line, time value of money, yield to maturity, dividend discount model for stocks, weighted average cost of capital (WACC), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and modified IRR (MIRR). Formulas are provided for calculating these concepts.
The document summarizes key concepts from chapters 6-14 of a finance textbook on risk and return, time value of money, bonds, stock and their valuation, cost of capital, capital budgeting, and cash flow estimation. It defines terms like expected rate of return, risk measures like standard deviation and beta, bond and stock valuation models, weighted average cost of capital, net present value, internal rate of return, modified internal rate of return, and cash flow terms like operating cash flow, free cash flow, EBIT, and more. Formulas and calculator instructions are provided for computing many of these concepts.

The document discusses the cost of capital and components used to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). It covers sources of long-term capital firms use, after-tax costs of different components, and whether the analysis should focus on historical or current marginal costs. The key points are:
1) Firms use long-term debt, preferred stock, common stock, retained earnings, and new common stock as sources of long-term capital.
2) WACC is calculated using the costs of each capital component weighted by the firm's target capital structure.
3) The analysis should focus on current marginal costs, like today's costs, for decisions involving raising new capital.
The document summarizes key concepts from chapters 6-14 of a finance textbook relating to risk and return, time value of money, bonds, stock valuation, cost of capital, capital budgeting, and cash flow estimation. It defines terms like expected rate of return, risk measures like standard deviation and beta, bond and stock valuation methods, weighted average cost of capital (WACC), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified IRR, payback period, and cash flow items like net operating working capital, operating cash flow, and free cash flow. Formulas and calculator instructions are provided for computing many of these concepts.

Southwest Airlines' mission is to provide high quality customer service with warmth, friendliness and company spirit. The airline was founded to take advantage of deregulation and provide low-cost intrastate service in Texas. Over time, Southwest expanded its routes and grew rapidly while maintaining low fares and a focus on customer satisfaction. The airline industry is highly competitive, with airlines competing on factors like fares, service, flight frequency and reacting quickly to competitors. The future holds both opportunities for Southwest to continue growing but also challenges from rising fuel costs and more competition.
