NUMERICAL EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS
THEORY OF EQUATIONS
An equation is a statement of equality between two expressions.
For eg:‐ x +2 = 5. An equation contains one or more unknowns.
Types of Equations
1)Linear Equation
It is an equation when one variable is unknown.
For example 2x + 3 = 7
Practical Problems
1. Solve 2x + 3 = 7
Ans: 2x = 7 – 3
4
2x = 4, x=2=2
2. Solve 3x + 4x = 35
35
Ans: 7x = 35, x = 7
=5
3. Solve 4 ( x ‐ 2 ) + 5 ( x – 3 ) – 25 = x + 8
Ans: = 4x – 8 + 5x – 15 – 25 = x + 8
= 4x + 5x – x = 8 + 8 + 15 + 25
8x = 56
x = 56/8 = 7
7
BBA3B05Financial Management
4. 7x – 21 – 3x + 13 = 7 + 6x – 19
Ans: 7x – 3x – 6x
=7 – 19 + 21 – 13
= ‐ 2x = ‐ 4
2x = 4
4
x=2=2
5. ‐23x + 14 – 7x + 16 = 10x – 17 + 3x + 4
8
BBA3B05Financial Management
Then 2/3(x) – 2 = 4
2x – 6 = 12
2x = 12+ 6
2x = 18
x=9
7𝑥+4 −4
8. Solve =
𝑥+2 3
Ans: = 3(7x + 4) = -4 (x + 2 )
= (21x + 12) = ‐ 4x + ‐8
21x + 4x = ‐8 – 12
25x = ‐20
20 4
x = −25 = −5
9. The ages of Hari and Hani are in the ratio of 4 : 5. Eight years from
now, the ratio of their ages will be 5:6. Find their present age?
Ans: Let present age = 4x and 5 x
4𝑥+8 5
After 8 years = 5𝑥+8 = 6
= 6(4x + 8 ) = 5 (5x + 8)
= 24x + 48 = 25x + 40
= 24x – 25x = 40 – 48
= ‐1x =‐8
=x=8
9
BBA3B05Financial Management
Present ages of Hari and Hani are Hari = 4x = 4 × 8 = 32 years
Hani = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40 years
2) Simultaneous equations in two unknowns
For solving the equations, firstly arrange the equations. For
eliminating one unknown variable, multiply the equation 1 or 2 or
both of them with certain amount and then deduct or add some
equation with another, we get the value of one variable. Then
substitute the value in the equation, we get the values of
corresponding variable.

MATRICES
Matrices
A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers or functions. It
is a rectangular presentation of numbers arranged systematically in
rows and columns one number or functions are called the elements
of the matrix. The horizontal lines of elements of the matrix are
called rows and vertical lines of elements of matrix are called
columns.
Order of Matrix
A matrix having ‘m’ rows ‘n’ columns are called a matrix of order
‘m x n’ or simply ‘m x n’ matrix (read as an ‘m’ by ‘n’ matrix)
Types of Matrices
(i) Rectangular matrix : Any matrix with ‘m’ rows and ‘n’ column
is called a rectangular matrix. It is a matrix of Order m x n. For
example,
1 2 3 4
A= 2 1 2 1 is a 3 x 4 matrix
3 2 1 2
(ii) Square matrix : A matrix by which the number of rows are
equal to the number of columns, is said to be a square matrix. Thus
an m x n matrix is said to be square matrix if m= n and is known as
24
BBA3B05Financial Management
a square matrix of order ‘n’. For example,
2 6 1
A = [1 8 4] is a square matrix of order 3
5 4 0
(iii) Row matrix : A matrix having only one row is called a row
matrix. For example,
A = [1 2 3 ]is a row matrix.
(iv) Column matrix : A matrix having only column is called
column matrix. For example,
1
A = [2] is a column matrix.
3
(v) Diagonal matrix: A square matrix is said to be diagonal it all
elements except leading diagonal are zero. Elements a11, a22, a33
etc. termed as leading diagonal of a matrix. Example of Diagonal
matrix is
2 6 1
A = [1 8 4] is a diagonal matrix. Leading diagonal elements
5 4 0
are 2, 8, 0.
(vi) Scalar Matrix : A diagonal matrix is said to be scalar matrix,
if its diagonal elements are equal. For example.
2 6 1
A = [1 2 4]
5 4 2
25
BBA3B05Financial Management
(vii) Unit matrix of identity matrix : A diagonal matrix in which
diagonal elements are 1 and rest are zero is called Unit Matrix or
identity matrix. It is denoted by 1.
1 0 0
A = [0 1 0] is a Unit matrix or Identity matrix.
0 0 1
(viii) Null Matrix or Zero matrix: A matrix is said to be zero or
null matrix if all its elements are zero. For example
0 0 0
A = [0 0 0] is a Null matrix or Zero matrix
0 0 0
(ix) Triangular matrix: If every element above or below the
leading diagonal is zero, the matrix is called Triangular matrix. It
may be upper triangular or lower triangular. In upper triangular all
elements below the leading diagonal are zero and in the lower
triangular all elements above the leading diagonal are zero. For
example,
1 6 1
A = [0 8 4] is a matrix of upper triangular.
0 4 2
2 0 0
A = [1 8 0] is matrix of lower triangular
5 4 1
(x) Symmetric matrix : Any square matrix is said to be symmetric
if it is equal to transpose. That is, A = At
26
BBA3B05Financial Management
Transpose of a matrix as a matrix obtained by interchanging its
rows and columns. It is denoted by At or A1. Example of symmetric
matrix
2 1 2 1
A= [ ] ,= [ ]
1 4 1 4
(xi) Skew Symmetric Matrix : Any square matrix is said to be
skew symmetric if it is equal to its negative transpose. That is A =
‐At
0 2 3
For example A = [−2 0 −4] = At
−3 4 0
0 −2 −3
t
A =[2 0 4]
3 −4 0
0 2 3
- t
A = [−2 0 −4]
−3 4 0
OPERATION OF MATRICES
Operation of matrices relate to the addition of matrices, difference,
multiplication of matrix by a scalar and multiplication of matrices.
Addition of matrices: If A and B are any two matrices of the same
order, their sum is obtained by the elements of A with the
corresponding elements of B.
For example :
27
BBA3B05Financial Management
8 −6 2 −5 2 3
A = [−7 3 2] B = A = [−3 −2 1]
−4 3 2 3 −2 2
3 −4 5
Then A + B = A = [−10 1 3]
−1 1 4
Difference of Matrices : if A and B are, two matrices of the same
order, then the difference is obtained by deducting the element of B
from A.
1 2 3 3 −1 3
If A = [ ] B=[ ]
2 3 1 −1 0 2
−2 3 0
Then A- B = [ ]
3 3 −1
Multiplication of a Matrix by a Scalar
The elements of Matrix A is multiplied by any value (ie. K) and
matrix obtained is denoted byK
1 2 3
For example : A = [2 3 1]
2 2 1

Determinants
A determinant is a compact form showing a set of numbers
arranged in rows and columns, the number of rows and the number
of columns being equal. The number in a determinant are known as
the elements of the determinant.

MODULE III
SEQUENCE, SERIES AND PROGRESSION
ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION
A series is said to be in Arithmetic Progression, it its terms
continuously increase or decrease by a constant number . It is a
series, in which each term is obtained by adding or deducting a
constant number to the preceding term. The constant number is
called common difference of the progression and is denoted by ‘d’.
It is the difference between the two term of the series i.e., the
difference between second term and first term or third term and
second term and so on.
The first term of an A.P. is usually denoted by ‘a’. One general
form of an A.P is a, a+ d, a+2d, a+ 3d, ………
For example
1) The sequence 1, 3, 5, 7,is an A.P whose first term is 1 and d = 2
2) The sequence ‐5, ‐2, 1, 4, 7,….., whose ‘a’ = ‐5, d = 3
53
BBA3B05Financial Management
an = a + (n-1)d
n = number of term in a series.
Practical Problems
1) Find the 12th term of an A.P 6, 2, ‐2
Ans: an = a + (n-1)d
a = 6, n = 12, d = ‐4
= 6 + (12‐1) – 4
= 6 + (11) – 4
= 6 + ‐ 44 = ‐38
12th term is ‐38
2) Find the 8th term of the series 6, 5½, 5, 4½, . . . . .
Ans: a = 6, d = ‐½,n = 8
an = a + (n-1)d
= 6 + (8‐1)‐½
= 6 + (7) ‐½
= 6 + ‐3.5 = 2.5
3) Which term of the A.P 21, 18, 15, ‐81 ?
Ans: a = 21 , d = ‐3, an = ‐81 n =?
an = a + (n-1)d
‐81 = 21 + (n‐1)‐3
‐81 = 21 + ‐3n +3
54
BBA3B05Financial Management
‐81 = 24 – 3n
‐81 – 24 = ‐3n 3n = 105
n = 105/3 = 35
Therefore the 35th term of the given A.P = ‐81
4) Which term of the A.P 21,18,15, 0?
Ans: a = 21, d = ‐3, an = 0, n =?
an = a + (n-1)d
0 = 21 + (n – 1)‐3
0 = 21 + ‐3n + 3
0 = 24 – 3n
3n = 24, n =8
Therefore, the 8th term = 0
5) If the 9th term of an A.P is 99 and 99th term is 9. Fine 108th
term?
Ans: an = a + (n-1)d
n = 9, an = 99
= a + (9‐1)d = 99
= a + 8d = 99 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐(1)
n = 99, an = 9
= a + (99 – 1)d =9
= a + 98d = 9 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐(2)
55
BBA3B05Financial Management
Solve the equations
a + 8d = 99 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐(1)
a + 98d = 9 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐(2)
Then (1) – (2) ‐ 90d = 90
d = 90/‐90 = ‐1
Substitute the value of ‘d’
a + 8d = 99
a + 8 x ‐1 = 99 a + ‐8 = 99
a = 99 + 8 = 107
108th term = a + (n‐1)d
= 107 + (108 – 1)‐1
= 107 + (107)‐1
= 107 – 107 = 0
108th term = 0
6) Determine the A.P whose 3 rd term is 5 and the 6th term is 8
Ans: a + 2d = 5 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ (1)
a + 5d = 8 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐(2)
Then (1) – (2) = ‐3d = ‐3

an = a + (n-1)d
99 = 12 + (n‐1)3
99 = 12 + 3n – 3
99 = 12 – 3 + 3n

ANNUITY
An annuity is a fixed sum paid at regular intervals under certain
conditions. The interval may be either a year or a half-year or, a
quarter year or a month.
Amount of an annuity :
Amount of an annuity is the total of all the instalments left unpaid
together with the compound interest of each payment for the period
it remains unpaid.

Example:
A man decides to deposit 20,000 at the end of each year in a bank
which pays 10% p.a. compound interest. If the instalments are
allowed to accumulate, what will be the total accumulation at the
end of 9 years?
Solution :
88
BBA3B05Financial Management
Let ` A be the total accumulation at the end of 9 years. Then we
have
Example :
A truck is purchased on instalment basis, such that ` 10,000 is to be
paid on the signing of the contract and five yearly instalments of `
5,000 each payable at the end of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th years. If
interest is charged at 10% per annum what would be the cash down
price?
Solution :
Let V be the present value of the annuity of ` 5,000 for 5 years at
10% p.a. compound interest, then cash down price of the truck is `
(10,000 + V).
89
BBA3B05Financial Management
Hence the required cash down price of the truck
= ` (18,953.95 + 10,000)
= ` 28,953.95
Example :
A man purchased a house valued at ` 3,00,000. He paid ` 2,00,000
at the time of purchase and agreed tob pay the balance with interest
of 12% per annum compounded half yearly in 20 equal half yearly
instalments.
If the first instalment is paid after six months from the date of
purchase, find the amount of each instalment.
[Given log 10.6 = 1.0253 and log 31.19 = 1.494]
Solution :
Since ` 2,00,000 has been paid at the time of purchase when cost of
house was ` 3,00,000, we have to consider 20 equated half yearly
annuity payment ` P when 12% is rate of annual interest
compounded half yearly for present value of ` 1,00,000.

BBA3B05Financial Management
PERPETUITY
Perpetuity can be well defined as an annuity without any end, or it
can be said that perpetuity features a stream of cash payments
continuing forever. To describe in detail, perpetuity is an annuity
wherein the periodic payments commence on a specific date and
continue to an indefinite time. Sometimes, it is even referred to as
perpetual annuity. Some of the prime examples perpetuities include
fixed coupon payments on permanently invested money, or consol
(the British issued bond). The concept of perpetuity is, very often,
used in financial theory, like the Dividend Discount Model (DDM).
91
BBA3B05Financial Management
where,
PV = represents the present value of the perpetuity,
A = represents the amount of periodic payments, and
r = represents the discount rate, yield, or interest rate.
Besides, the present value of perpetuity can also be determined by
the following steps:
Find out the annual payment, rate of interest, and growth rate of the
perpetuity.
Put the apt numbers into the formula:
Present Value of a growing perpetuity = P / (i – g),
Where ‘P’ represents the annual payment, ‘i’ represents the interest
or discount rate, and “g” is the growth rate.
You can apply the following example as a point of reference so as
to crosscheck the calculations. Let us assume that a XYZ company
pays a dividend of Rs.100 per annum forever at an interest rate of
5% and a growth rate of 1%. To estimate the present value of this
perpetuity, you can apply the following formula:
PV of preferred stock in XYZ = 100 / (Rs.0.05-0.01)
PV of preferred stock in XYZ = Rs.100 / 0.04
PV of preferred stock in XYZ = Rs.2,500
Therefore, the present value of a share of XYZ’s preferred stock is
expected to be Rs.2,500.
92
BBA3B05Financial Management
Although the payments made on perpetuity are assumed to be
indefinite, there is still a finite value for the perpetuity’s present
value which is accrued to the expected returns in future featuring a
low present value.
The value of perpetuity can, however, change over the time period,
in spite of same amount of payments. This might be due to changes
in discount rate. The value of perpetuity increases with a decrease
in the discount rate and vice versa.
Equated monthly installment
An equated monthly installment (EMI) is defined as "A fixed
payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date
each calendar month. Equated monthly installments are used to pay
off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified
number of years, the loan is fully paid off along with interest."
It further explains that, with most common types of loans, such as
real estate mortgages, the borrower makes fixed periodic payments
to the lender over the course of several years with the goal of
retiring the loan. EMIs differ from variable payment plans, in
which the borrower is able to pay higher payment amounts at his or
her discretion. In EMI plans, borrowers are mostly only allowed
one fixed payment amount each month.
The benefit of an EMI for borrowers is that they know precisely
93
BBA3B05Financial Management
how much money they will need to pay toward their loan each
month, making the personal budgeting process easier.
The formula for EMI (in arrears) is:
1−(1+𝑟)−𝑛
P=A. 𝑟
𝑟(1+𝑟)𝑛
Or P = P .(1+𝑟)𝑛−1

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
Meaning and Definitions of Statistics
The word statistics is derived from the Latin word ‘Status’ or Italian
word ‘Statista’ or German word ‘Statistik’ which means a Political
State. It is termed as political state, since in early years, statics
indicates a collection of facts about the people in the state for
administration or political purpose.
Statistics has been defined either as a singular non or as a plural
noun.
Definition of Statistics as Plural noun or as numerical facts:‐
According to Horace Secrist, ‘Statistics are aggregates of facts
affected to a marked extent by multiplicity of causes numerically
expressed, enumerated or estimated according to a reasonable
standard of accuracy, collected in a systematic manner for a
predetermined purpose and placed in relation to each other’.
Definition of Statistics as a singular noun or as a method:‐
According to Seliman, “ Statistics is the science which deals with the
methods of collecting classifying, comparing and interpreting
numerical data collected, to know some light on any sphere of
enquiry”.
95
BBA3B05Financial Management
Characteristics of Statistics

2. They should be affected to a marked extent by multiplicity of
causes.
3. They must be numerically expressed.
4. They should be enumerated or estimated according to a
reasonable standard of accuracy.
5. They should be collected in a systematic manner.
6. They should be collected for a predetermined purpose.
7. They should be placed in relation to each other.
Function of Statistics
The following are the important functions of statistics:
1. It simplifies complexity:‐ Statistical methods make facts
and figures easily understandable form. For this purpose
Graphs and Diagrams, classification, averages etc are used.
2. It presents facts in a proper form:‐ Statistics presents facts
in a precise and definite form.

simplified form, it is easy to compare date.
4. It facilitates for formulating policies:‐ Statistics helps for
formulating policies for the companies, individuals, Govt.
96
BBA3B05Financial Management
etc. it is possible only with the help of date presented in a
suitable form.
5. It tests hypothesis:‐ Hypothesis is an important concept in
research studies. Statistics provides various methods for
testing the hypothesis. The important tests are Chi – square,
Z‐test, T‐test and F‐test.
6. It helps prediction or forecasting:‐ Statistical methods
provide helpful means of forecasting future events.
7. It enlarges individual’s knowledge:‐When data are presented
in a form of comparison, the individuals try to find out the
reasons for the variations of two or more figures. It thereby
helps to enlarge the individual’s knowledge.
8. It measures the trend behavior:‐ Statistics helps for predicting
the future with the help of present and past data. Hence
plans, programs, and policies are formulated in advance
with the help of statistical techniques.

MEASURES OF DISPERSION OR VARIABILITY
Dispersion means a measure of the degree of deviation of data from
the central value.
Measures of Dispersion are classified into
(1) Absolute Measures
(2) Relative Measures.
Absolute Measures of dispersion are expressed in the same units in
which data are collected. They measure variability of series.
Various absolute measures are:
(i) Range
(ii) Quartile Deviation
122
BBA3B05Financial Management
(iii) Mean Deviation
(iv) Standard Deviation
Relative measure is also called coefficient of dispersion. They are
useful for comparing two series for their variability. Various
relative measures are:
(i) Coefficient Range
(ii) Coefficient of Quartile Deviation
(iii) Coefficient of Mean Deviation
(iv) Coefficient of Variation

B is more consistent since C.V. is less.
(ii) For finding more efficient, average is taken
A = 42 B = 8.25
Batsman A is more consistent since he has greater
average.
Merits of S.D
1. S.D. is based on all the values of a series.
2. It is rigidly defined
3. It is capable of further mathematical treatment.
4. It is not much affected by sampling fluctuations.
Demerits
1. It is difficult to calculate.

2. Signs of the deviations are not ignored.
Measures of skewness
Skewness means lack of symmetry when a frequency distribution
is not symmetrical, it is said t be asymmetrical or skewed. In the
case of a skewed distribution, the mean, median and mode are not
equal. Similarly for a skewed distribution Q1 and Q3 will not be
equidistant from median. It is an asymmetrical distribution. It has a
long tail on one side and a start tail on the other side.
A distribution is said to be skewed when:
(1) Mean, media and mode are not equal.
(2) Q1 and Q3 are not equidistant from median.
(3) Frequencies on either side of mode are not equal.
(4) The frequency curve has longer tail on the left side or on the
right side.
Positive and Negative skewness
Skewnwss may be either positive or negative. Skewness is said to
be positive when the mean is greater than the median and median is
greater than mode. More than half area falls to right side of the
highest ordinate.
Swewness is said to be negative when the mean is less than median
and the median is less than mode. In this case curve is skewed to
the left more than half the area falls to the left of the highest

ordinate.
Measures of skewness
Karl Pearson’s measure of skewness
𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛−𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛
Skewness = 𝜎
KURTOSIS
Kurtosis is a measure of peakdness. It refers a distribution
which is relatively fetker than the normal curve.
When a frequency curve is more peaked than the normal curve, it is
called lepto kurtic and when it is more flat topped than the normal
curve it is called platy kurtic. When a curve is neither peaked nor plat
topped, it is called meso kurtic normal.
Lorenz Curve
Lorenz curve is a graphical method of studying dispersion. It is
used in business to study the disparities of the distribution of

wages, sales, production etc. In Economics it is useful to measure
inequalities in the distribution of income.
It is a graph down to a frequency distribution. While drawing the
graph, cumulative percentage values of frequencies on X axis and
cumulative percentage values of the variable on Y axis.
