1. Excess risk adjusted return is also called …
1. beta.
2. theta.
3. alpha.
- An excess risk - adjustment return is also called an abnormal return or alpha.
- Alpha = expected return - Required return

in her analysis. Which of the following is least likely to be an example of an absolute valuation
model?
1. residual income model
2. dividend discount model
3. price-to-earnings market multiple model
- Absolute equity valuation models are present value models. These models specify the intrinsic
value of an asset. Dividend discount valuation models; Residual income model; FCFF and FCFE
are all absolute valuation models.
- Relative valuation models estimate an asset’s value relative to that of another asset. The idea is
that similar assets should sell at similar prices, and typically implemented using price multiples
(P/E, P/B, P/S)
3. Which one of the following statements is most correct with regard to steps and activities/actions
in the equity valuation process?
1. An analyst applies the valuation conclusions by choosing the FCFE model.
2. To convert his forecast into a valuation, an analyst carried out a sensitivity analysis.
3. To understand the business, an analyst helped the firm he is evaluating compile their
financial statements.
- To convert forecast into valuation, analysts use sensitivity analysis and situational
adjustments.
- Sensitivity analysis is an analysis to determine how changes in an assumed input would
affect the outcome. For example, a sensitivity analysis can be used to assess how a change
in assumptions about a company’s future growth—for example, decomposed by sales growth
forecasts and margin forecasts—and/or a change in discount rates would affect the
estimated value.
