Shares and Mutual Funds More Examples
Dear Students,
Have you ever wondered how to make your money work for you, grow, and thrive in the world of
finance? Welcome to the third module of your Mathematical and Statistical Techniques I course, where
we explore the intriguing world of shares, mutual funds, risk, and return. This module is more than just
numbers; it’s about gaining the knowledge to make informed investment decisions.
Why is it Important?
Imagine you have some money to invest. Your goal is simple: maximize returns while minimizing risk.
How do you achieve this balance? That’s precisely where Markowitz Portfolio Theory comes into play.
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to evaluate investment portfolios, understanding their risk and
return characteristics using appropriate measures. So, let’s embark on this exciting journey together. Our
goal is to equip you with the knowledge of quantitative finance, empowering you to make informed
financial decisions that can shape your future.
Shares
Shares, also known as stocks, are financial instruments that represent ownership in a company.
Originating from historic trading practices, shares have evolved into mathematical representations of
ownership in a company, enabling investors to participate in the growth and profitability of businesses
through quantitative analysis and investment strategies.
The concept of shares emerged from the need to quantify ownership and distribute risk among
investors. In medieval Europe, merchants utilized mathematical principles to divide their investments into
transferable units, facilitating joint ownership and spreading risk across multiple ventures. This
mathematical framework laid the foundation for the modern concept of shares, which further evolved with
the advent of quantitative financial models and analysis techniques.
A few people take the initiative to form a company. They are called promoters of the company.
The company is established under Companies Act 1956.The promoters decide to raise a certain amount of
capital to start the company. They divide this amount into small parts called shares. A share or a stock is
the smallest unit of the capital of a company. Usually, a share is of value Rs hundred or Rs 50 or Rs 10
OR Rs 5 Rs OR Rs 1. This value is called the face value of the share. These shares are sold to the public
through initial public offer of the company. The shareholders are part owners of the company in the
proportion of their Holdings. The allotment of shares is done directly into the Demat account in electronic
dematerialised form.
Face Value- The face value of a share is the nominal value assigned to it at the time of issuance. It
represents the initial value of the share and is usually a small fraction of the market value. Face value has
legal significance but does not reflect the actual worth of the share. It is also called par value.
Market Value- The market value, also known as the market price, is the current value at which a share is
traded in the stock market. It is determined by supply and demand dynamics, investor sentiment, and the
company’s performance. Market value fluctuates continuously based on market conditions and investor
perception.
Dividend- A dividend is a distribution of a company’s profits to its shareholders. It is usually paid out in
cash or additional shares. Dividends are declared by the company’s board of directors and are typically
based on the company’s profitability and dividend policy. Dividends provide an additional source of
income for shareholders.
Equity Shares- Equity shares, also known as ordinary shares or common shares, represent ownership in
a company and provide voting rights to shareholders. Equity shareholders bear the highest risk but also
have the potential to earn higher returns through capital appreciation and dividends. They participate in
the company’s management and decision-making processes.
Preferential Shares- Preferential shares, also called preferred shares, are a class of shares that have
certain preferential rights over equity shares. They often have a fixed dividend rate and are paid dividends
before equity shareholders. Preferential shares do not usually carry voting rights or have limited voting
rights. They offer investors a more stable income stream but may have limited capital appreciation
potential.
Bonus Shares- Bonus shares, also known as scrip dividends or capitalization issues, are additional shares
issued to existing shareholders without any cash consideration. Bonus shares are issued by capitalizing the
company’s reserves or accumulated profits. They are given to reward shareholders and increase the total
number of shares outstanding without affecting the proportional ownership or value of their holdings.
Splitting of shares-Stock split is done to infuse liquidity and to make shares affordable for various
investors who could not buy the shares of that company before due to high prices.
Right issue shares-It is important to note that the rights issue offer is an invitation that provides an
opportunity for existing shareholders to increase their shareholding. It is a right that a shareholder may or
may not choose to exercise and not an obligation to buy the shares.
Depending upon the vision of the company the market forces of demand and supply the share prices
fluctuate and can be traded above or below the face value. This trading takes place online and the
main market is called stock exchange. The price at which one share is traded is called the market
price.
If the market price of a share is the same as its face value then the share is said to be traded at par.
If Market price is greater than the face value then share is available at a premium or above par.
If Market price is less than the face value then shares are available at a discount or below par.
Shares can be purchased and sold only through authorized brokers. Brokerage as a percentage of
market price of share. Generally, it is less than 1%.
Shares
Purchase
Solution: Given-
Face value of 1 share = Rs. 10
No. of shares = 60,000
Total Dividend = Rs. 72,000
Now,
Face value of 60,000 shares = (Face value of 1 share) × (No. of shares)
= 60,000 × 10
= Rs. 6,00,000
𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑
Rate of Dividend = 𝑁𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠 × 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒
× 100
72,000
= 6,00,000
× 100
= 12
∴ The rate of dividend paid by the company was 12%.
Example 2: Rohit had 400 preference shares and 200 ordinary shares of a company at Rs. 10 each.
The annual dividend declared was 8% on preference shares and 14% on ordinary shares.
Calculate the total dividend of Rohit.
Solution:
Dividend on Preference shares = 8% × 10 × 400 = 320
Dividend on Ordinary shares = 14% × 10 × 200 = 280
So, Total Dividend = 320 + 280 = 600.
Example 3: A Company's capital is made up of 80,000 preference shares with 10% dividend and
60,000 ordinary shares. The par value of each share of either type is Rs. 100. In the year 2007-08,
the company had a total profit of Rs. 18,80,000 out of which Rs. 3,00,000 were kept in reserve fund
and the remaining was distributed to the shareholders. What was the rate of dividend distributed
to the ordinary shareholders?
Solution:
Total dividend paid to the shareholders = (Total Profit) - (Reserve Fund)
= 18,80,000 - 3,00,000
= Rs. 15,80,000
Example 4: The capital of Infoline Co. consists of Rs. 15,00,000 in 6% cumulative preference
shares of Rs. 100 each and Rs. 30,00,000 in equity shares of Rs. 10 each. The dividends on
cumulative preference shares for earlier years were not paid. This year, the company has to
distribute a profit of Rs. 3,00,000 after keeping 20% as reserve fund. Find the rate of dividend
paid to the equity shareholders.
Solution:
20
Reserve Fund = 100
× (3,00,000) × = Rs. 60,000
∴ Profit to be distributed = 3,00,000 - 60,000 = Rs. 2,40,000
Annual Dividend for 6% cumulative preference shareholders is 6% of 15,00,000 i.e.Rs. 90,000. This
needs to be given for 2 years, since the preference shares are cumulative and last year’s dividend was
not paid.
∴ Total dividend paid to Preference Shareholders = 2 × 90,0000 = Rs. 1,80,000
Solution: Total investment = 109350, R.O.D= 20%, F.V./share = 100, total dividend = 9000
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑
∴Total Dividend = 100
× (F.V/share) × (No. of shares)
20 × 100 × 𝑥
9000 = 100
No. of shares =X = 450.
∴Total investment = (M.V/share) × (No. of shares)
109350
∴M.V/share = 450
= 243/share
∴ The market price of per share is Rs. 243.
Solution: Given-
Face value of 1 share = Rs. 10
No. of shares = 60,000
Rate of Dividend = 8
Face value of 230 shares = (Face value of 1 share) × (No. of shares)
= 230 × 100
= Rs. 23,000
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑
∴Total Dividend = 100
× (face value of 230 shares)
8
= 100
× 23000
= Rs. 1840.
Hence total dividend is Rs. 1840.
Example 7: Find the face value of a 9% share if Rs. 10,336 was invested in purchasing the shares
at a market price of Rs. 152 and a total dividend income of Rs. 61.20 was earned.
Solution:
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠
No. of shares = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 1 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒
10336
= 152 = 68.
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑
∴Total Dividend = 100
× (F.V/share) × (No. of shares)
9
∴ 61.20 = 100 × (F.V/share) × 68
100 1
∴ (F.V/share) = 61.20 × 9 × 68
= 10.
Thus F.V. of 1 share is Rs. 10.
Problems involving rate of investment with Dividend
Income
Example 8: Mr. Jitendra Shah bought 400 shares of par value Rs. 10 each at the market
price of Rs. 24 each. If the annual dividend distributed was at the rate of 12%, find Mr.
Shah's rate of return on investment.
Solution:
Total investment = Market value of 400 shares at Rs. 24 each.
= 400 × 24 = Rs. 9600
Solution:
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠
No. of shares = 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 1 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒
20000
= 40
= 500.
Solution:
For share of Company M:
If we invest Rs. 120, we get 1 share of face value Rs. 100. On this, the dividend is 10%
Solution:
Suppose, the amount invested in the 8% share is x. Then the remaining amount (147000 - x)
was invested in the 5% share.
Now for the first shares,
When the market value is Rs. 150, the dividend is Rs. 8.
𝑥
∴ 25
=
(147000 − 𝑥)

Now the broker sold the shares at a premium of Rs. 95 per share on the face value of Rs. 100.
That is, she sold the shares of Rs. 195 per share
∴ Total amount received by the Broker = Market Value of 200 shares at Rs. 195 each
= 200 × 195
= Rs. 39,000
Example 12: A broker purchased 200 shares of a company for himself each of face value
Rs. 100, quoted at the market value of Rs. 185. She then sold them at a premium of Rs. 95
per share. Find the broker's total cost, the total amount received and the total gain..
= 200 × 185
= Rs. 37,000
Now the broker sold the shares at a premium of Rs. 95 per share on the face value of Rs. 100.
That is, she sold the shares of Rs. 195 per share
∴ Total amount received by the Broker = Market Value of 200 shares at Rs. 195 each
= 200 × 195
= Rs. 39,000
Thus the total cost is Rs. 37,000, total amount received is Rs. 39,000 and the total gain is
Rs. 2,000.
Example 13: Ms. Hetal Mehta bought 300 shares of a company of face value Rs. 100 each
at a market value of Rs. 240 each. After receiving a dividend at 8%, she sold the shares at
Rs. 256 each. Find her rate of return on investment. There was no brokerage involved.
Solution:
Change of Market Price per share = 256 - 240 = 16
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑
Dividend on 1 share = 100
× (F.V/share)

= 100
× 100
= 8.
Example 14: Mr. Bhim Kamble paid a broker Rs. 7,53,000 to purchase 3000 shares of
Rumal Industries available at Rs. 250 each. Find the brokerage rate.
Solution:
Let the brokerage be r%.
𝑟
Brokerage per share = 100
× 250 = 2.5r
Solution:
0.1
Brokerage on sale of 1 share = 100
×500 = 0.50
∴Amount received on the sale of 1 share = (Market Price of 1 share) - (Brokerage per share)
= 500 - 0.50
= Rs. 499.50
∴ Gain on 1 share = 499.50 - 420 = 79.50
Now,
Total Gain = (Gain on 1 share) × (No. of shares)
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛
∴ No. of shares = 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑜𝑛 1 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒
31800
= 79.50
= 400
These 400 shares were bought and sold on that day.
Example 16: A sum of Rs. 51,102 was invested in 4% stock at 85. After the dividend was
received, the stock was sold at Rs. 80. The brokerage was 0.2% for purchase and 0.3% for
the sale. What is the net loss or gain? What was the percentage loss or gain?
Solution:
Purchase cost of 1 share = (Market Price of 1 share) + (Brokerage per share)
0.2
= 8.5 + 100 × 85 = 8.5 + 0.17 = 85.17
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑
Total Dividend = 100
× (F.V/share) × (No. of shares)
4
= 100
× 100 × 600
= Rs. 2,400
Thus,
Net Income = Dividend + Amount received from sale of 600 shares
= 2,400 + 47,856
= Rs. 50,256
Net loss = Total Investment - Net Income
= 51,102 - 50,256
= Rs. 846
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠
Percentage loss =𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
× 100
846
= 51,102 × 100
=1.66
The total loss was Rs. 846 and the percentage loss was 1.66%.
Problems involving Bonus Shares:
Example 17: Ms. Kiran Murthy, a share broker, invested Rs. 33,000 to buy Rs. 100 shares
of BANANA Industries at Rs. 550. Six months later, the company declared bonus shares to
its existing shareholders in the ratio 3 bonus shares for every 5 existing shares. Post-bonus,
Ms. Murthy sold the shares at the market price which was down to Rs. 450. Find the
percentage gain or loss.
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛
Percentage gain = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡

Example 18: 32. Mr. Nakul Sachdev purchased 200 of Rs. 100 shares of a company at Rs.
250 on 15th April, 2006. On 20th July 2006, he received a dividend of 25%. On 25th July
2007, he received a bonus in the ratio 1:4. On 1st September 2007, he sold all the shares he
had for Rs. 260. Find his percentage gain if the brokerage charged was 20 paise per 100 Rs.
on both purchase and sale.
Solution:
On 15th April 2006,
0.20
Brokerage on purchase of 1 share = 100
× 250.
= Rs. 0.50.
∴ Purchase cost of 1 share = (Market Price of 1 share) + (Brokerage per share)
= 250 + 0.50
= Rs. 250.50
Example 19: Mr. Lal Krishna Basu purchased 30 shares of Rs. 10 each of Medi Pharma Ltd. on
20th January, 2007, at Rs. 36 per share. On 3rd April, 2007, the company decided to split their
shares from the face value of Rs. 10 per share to Rs. 2 per share. On 4th April, 2007, the market
value of each share was Rs. 8 per share. Find Mr. Basu's gain or loss, if he was to sell the shares on
4th April, 2007. Take brokerage as 0.5% on purchase as well as sale.
Solution:
On 20th January, 2007,
Brokerage per share = 0.5% on Market Price
0.5
= 100 × 36
= Rs. 0.18
On 3rd April, 2007, each Rs. 10 share became 5 shares of Rs. 2 each.
Hence the number of shares increased five- fold.
∴ No. of Rs. 2 shares = 30 × 5 = 150
On 4th April, 2007,
Brokerage per share = 0.5% on Market Price
0.5
= 100 × 8
= Rs. 0.04.
∴ Total Amount Received on the sale of 1 share
= (Market Price of 1 share) - (Brokerage per share)
= 8 - 0.04
= Rs. 7.96
∴ Total amount Received on the sale of 150 shares = 7.96 × 150
= Rs. 1194
∴ Mr. Basu’s Gain = 1194 - 1085.40 = Rs. 108.60
∴ Mr. Basu’s gain would be Rs. 108.60, if he dad decided to cell share on 4th
April, 2007
Mutual Fund
A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment vehicle that pools money from multiple
investors and uses that capital to purchase a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities
in accordance with the fund’s investment objectives. These funds are operated by asset management
companies(AMC). Investors in a mutual fund buy units of the fund, and the value of these units i.e.
net asset value(NAV) is determined by the overall performance of the fund’s underlying investments.
An asset management company (AMC), is a financial institution or firm that specializes in managing
and overseeing the investment portfolios of individuals, institutional investors, or entities. The
primary function of an AMC is to make investment decisions on behalf of its clients, aiming to
maximize returns while managing risk within the framework of the client’s investment goals and risk
tolerance. Basically there are two types - close ended funds and open ended funds.
Close Ended M. Funds - These are offered with a fixed date of maturity and can be purchased
from Mutual Fund companies during a specific period. The units are redeemed by the fund when
the scheme expires i.e. the investor can get the amount after the expiry date of the fund. The no.
of units and the unit capital remains constant. If an investor wants to exit before the maturity
date, he can sell the units on the stock exchange at a discount or through a buy-back option by
the fund.
Open Ended Funds - These have no fixed date of maturity and the units can be sold or
repurchased at any time. The no. of units and its capital changes daily.
Load on Mutual Funds - It is a charge paid by the investor while dealing in Mutual Funds, and
represents the initial expenses like marketing. brokerage, advertising etc. Sometimes the charges
are to be paid while purchasing the units i.e. entering a Mutual Fund Scheme. It is called Entry
load or Front-end-load. If the charges are to be paid while selling the units, it is Exit load or
Back-End Load. In some cases, there can be both loads or Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
[CDSC] which is charged within a specific period of entry and it decreases with the holding
period, i.e. if the units are sold at a later date, the charges are less. Sometimes there are no
charges while purchasing or selling units and these funds are called No Load Funds.

Mutual Funds were formed to face the ups and downs in the share-market so that a common
person can invest in the market through the Mutual Funds, Mutual Fund schemes are managed
by qualified professionals having the expertise of investment techniques. The Asset Management
Companies (AMC) are backed by dedicated and experienced research teams. They have many
schemes like Open Ended Funds; Close Ended Funds; Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS);
New Fund Offer (NFO): Fixed Maturity Plan (FMP), Liquid Fund etc. one such scheme is
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP).
SIP is like a recurring deposit in a bank or a post office where you put fixed small amount every
month. A specific amount is invested at regular time intervals in a Mutual Fund. The investor can
decide the date and the type of scheme of the Mutual Fund. In general the minimum amount is
1,000 per month, in diversified equity schemes. It can be even 2500 as well, in ELSS Schemes.
The investor can give either post-dated cheques or Electronic Clearing System (ECS)
instructions to invest in the desired scheme. Sometimes, there is no entry load so that the whole
investment can be used to purchase units, but there is Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)
as exit load if the units are redeemed in less than a specific period.
Every month, the investor invests a fixed sum, say 1,000, 2.000, 5,000 etc. in SIP on a fixed date
in the scheme. The no. of units purchased by him are calculated by dividing the fixed amount by
the N.A.V. on that date of the month. If N.A.V. increases, the no, of units decreases and if N.A.V.
decreases, the no. of units purchased, increases. Thus, on the whole, it lowers the average cost of
units because indirectly, the investor buys more units when N.A.V. prices are low and he buys
less units, when N.A.V. prices are high. It is called Rupee-Cost-Averaging.
Example1: Mr. Bhat invested ₹5,000, on 1st of every month for 5 months in a-SIP of a
Mutual Fund, with N.A.V. 's as 48.15, 52.83, 41.28, 35.44 and 32.65 respectively. There was
no entry load charged. Find the average price, Mr. Bhat paid, using the Rupee - Averaging
Method. After 6 months, he sold all his units when N.A.V. was ₹51.64 with contingent
deferred sales charge (CDSC) as 2.25%. Find his net gain.
Solution:
Consider the following table:
Example 2:Mr. Kothari invested in a systematic investment plan of a M.F., a fixed sum of
10,000 on 5th of every month, for 4 months. The N.A.V. on these dates were 34.26, 46, 12,
39.34 and 41.85. The entry load was 2.25% throughout the period. Find the average price,
including the entry load, using the Rupee-Cost Averaging Method, How does it compare
with the A.M. of the prices?
Solution:
Consider the following table:
Month NAV Entry Load= 2.25% Total Price= NAV+ Entry No. of Units =
10000
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
load
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
A.M. of Prices = 4
165.205
= 4
= 41.301
Thus, the average price using Rupee Cost Averaging method is less than A.M. of prices.
Solution:-Given
No. of shares=200
Face value= Rs. 150
Market price= Rs.600
Rate of dividend= 2%
Total investment= No. of shares *M.P +brokerage = 200*600 + 0= Rs. 1,20,000
a)Total dividend= No. of shares* face value*% of dividend
=200*150*2/100 = 600
Total dividend given by the company is Rs.600.
b)Gain or loss
Selling price of each share = Rs.550
Total sale= S.P* No. of shares + total dividend
= 550*200 + 600
= 1,10,000+600
= 1,10,600
Here Selling price < total investment. Hence there is loss in this transaction
Loss= Total investment – Total sell
= 120000-110600= 9400
* 100= 7.83%
𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 9400
% of loss= 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
* 100 = 120000
Hence there is loss of 7.83 %
Q2)In the given problem above ,after certain months he decided to sell those shares at markets
price Rs 550. Find a)if the company is giving 3 bonus shares for every 5 shares i.e.(3:5) as a
dividend. find the rate of return. b)if the brokerage 0.5% paid for both transactions(Considering
purchase price Rs.600) when the market price at the time of sale goes up to Rs 800. find % of profit
or loss
Solution :-
a)if the company is giving 3 bonus shares for every 5 shares as a dividend
200
Extra shares= 5
* 3= 120
Hence to total shares he had= 200+120=320
Total sale = S.P* No. of shares+ dividend - brokerage= 320* 550+0-0=Rs. 176000
Here Selling price > total investment. Hence there is profit in this transaction
Return= Total sell- total investment= 176000-120000 = 56000
* 100= 46.67%
𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛 56000
Rate of return= 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
* 100 = 120000
b) brokerage= 0.5%
Market price= Rs.600
Total Brokerage paid at the time of purchase=0.5%* 600 *200= 3*200= 600
Hence total amount paid while purchasing the shares = 1,20,000+ 600=Rs. 1,20,600
MP at the time of sell= Rs. 800
Total Brokerage paid at the time of sell=0.5%* 800 *200= 4*200= 800
Total selling price= M.P*No. of shares + dividend -brokerage= 1,60,000+600-800=Rs. 1,59,800
Here Selling price > total investment. Hence there is profit in this transaction
Profit= Total sell – Total investment= 159800-120600= Rs. 39200.
Q3) An investor holds 400 shares of ABC Corporation, which he bought at the market price of
Rs.8,500 each. The face value of each share is 50. The company decided to split each share so that
the new face value would be 5 per share. If the market price of the shares after the split is 1,500,
find the number of shares held by the investor after the split and his gain or loss
Solution:- Total purchase (TP) = 400×8500 =3400000
Number of shares purchased = 400
Given split ratio = 1: 10
Thus, after the splitting of shares, the new number of shares = 400×10 = 4000.
Total Sell Value after Split (TS) = 1500×4000 = 6000000
As TS > TP, there is a gain and the gain = 6000000−3400000 = 2600000.

Risk and Return
In finance, it is often assumed that the key factors influencing the investor’s investment decisions are
‘risk’ and ‘return’. Risk refers to the possibility of deviation between the actual outcome and the desired
or expected outcome. In practice, return is almost always interpreted as the expected investment return.
There is generally a positive correlation between the level of risk an investment carries and the potential
return it offers. In other words, investments that have higher levels of risk tend to provide the potential for
higher returns, while investments with lower risk typically offer lower potential returns. For example:
Government bonds are less risky as compared to Equity shares. So, the expected return on Equity shares
will be higher than Government bonds
Types of Risks
• Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of loss resulting from the failure of a borrower or issuer to meet their
financial obligations. It applies to loans, bonds, and other credit instruments. Investors or lenders face
credit risk when borrowers default on their payments or become unable to repay their debts.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to buy or sell an asset quickly without
significantly impacting its price. It applies to both individual investors and financial institutions. Assets
with low liquidity may be challenging to sell quickly at fair prices during volatile or stressed market
conditions.
• Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk refers to the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the
value of fixed-income investments, such as bonds. When interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds
tends to decrease, and vice versa.
• Inflation Risk: Inflation risk is the potential for a decline in the purchasing power of money over time
due to rising prices. It affects the real value of assets and returns, especially those with fixed income or
cash flows.
• Currency Risk (Foreign Exchange Risk): Currency risk arises from investments or transactions
denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates can impact the value of these investments
when converted back to the investor’s home currency.
Risk-Neutral Investors. Risk-neutral investors are indifferent to risk and focus on maximizing their
expected returns. They are not overly concerned about fluctuations in the value of their investments and
are willing to take on moderate levels of risk. Risk-neutral investors may have a balanced portfolio with a
mix of assets that offer a combination of potential growth and stability.
Risk-Seeking Investors. Risk-Seeking investors have a high tolerance for risk and are willing to take on
higher levels of uncertainty in pursuit of potentially higher returns. They are comfortable with the idea of
experiencing significant fluctuations in the value of their investments and are more willing to invest in
riskier assets, such as small-cap stocks, emerging markets, and alternative investments. Risk-tolerant
investors believe that the potential for greater rewards justifies the increased risk.
Total Return
The total return on an investment in a given period can be split into two components viz., current yield
and capital gains/loss yield.
𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑
Total Return= 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 + 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔
where R is the total return over the period, C is the cash payment received during the period, PE is
the ending price of the investment, and PB is the beginning price.
Risk and Return of a Single Asset
So far we looked at past returns. Now we discuss prospective (future) returns. The return from a
a financial instrument can take various possible values, each attached with a probability. For example,
if the return on a share is 11 then in immediate future, it will have either of the following effects:
where E(R) is the expected return, Ri is the return for the ith possible outcome, pi is the probability
associated with Ri and n is the number of possible outcomes.
𝑛
E(R) = ∑ 𝑝𝑖𝑅𝑖 =0.3-16+0.5*11+0.2*6 =11.5
𝑖=1
𝑛
2 2
σ = ∑ 𝑝𝑖(𝑅𝑖 − 11. 25) = 12.25
𝑖=1
σ = 12. 25 =3.5
Therefore, the expected rate of return is 11.5% and the standard deviation of return is 3.5
