The holding period return is
HPR = (48 - 40 + 2 )/ (40) = 50/40 = 25%

Risk
A risky investment is one which has a range or spread of possible outcomes whose probabilities are known.
A probability represents the chance or “odds” of a particular outcome to the investment. If something is certain it to occur is has a probability of one. If something is certain not to occur is has a probability of 0.
![Page 9: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Probability
If an outcome is uncertain it has a probability that is greater than 0 and less than 1.
The probability of the total number of possible outcomes is 1 or 100%. The probability of an outcome or outcomes from the total number of possibilities is between 0% and 100% (0 and 1).
The sum of the probabilities of all outcomes is 1.
![Page 10: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Probability
It may be helpful to think of probability in terms of the frequency of an outcome.
the probability of getting a 6 when one throws a die is 1/6 or 0.1667. If you threw a die 600 times you would expect to throw 100 sixes.

Computation of Expected Return
The expected return on a project is computed by taking the individual returns of A and B and multiplying them by their respective probabilities and summing them
i.e. (-20%*0.5) + (60%*0.5) =
-10%+30% = 20%.

Investors' Attitudes to Risk
We assume that investors are risk averse. This means that investors prefer an investment with a certain return to a risky one with the same expected return.
A risk averse investor would prefer project A in Table 1 above to project B.
![Page 15: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Will anyone invest in B?
If the price of B falls its expected return will increase.
Eventually the return will rise sufficiently for some investors to choose B rather than A.
The rate of return of B at which the investor is indifferent between B and the risk free project A is called the certainty equivalent rate of return.
If more than an investor’s certainty equivalent rate of return can be earned on B she will choose it over A.
![Page 16: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Risk and Return
Unless risky investments are likely to offer greater returns than relatively safe ones nobody will hold them.
If markets are competitive investors are unlikely to be able to increase expected returns without investing in assets which bear additional risk.
![Page 17: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Premium for Risk
Therefore any asset that is traded in a competitive market will have an expected return that is increasing in risk.
We can characterise the expected return on any asset traded in the capital markets in the form:
Expected rate of return = risk-free rate + risk premium.
![Page 18: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Measurement of Risk
In Finance risk is usually measured by the amount of dispersion or variability in the value of an asset. Thus, risky assets can have very positive outcomes as well as very negative ones. One has upside risk (potential) and downside risk
![Page 19: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measuring Risk
Variance - Average value of squared deviations from mean. A measure of volatility.
Standard Deviation – The square root of the average value of squared deviations from mean. a measure of volatility.
Has advantage of being measured in the same dimension as the mean.
![Page 20: Risk08a](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c2ec764a7959c43b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1) Mean: most likely value2) Variance or standard deviation – measure
of spread3) Skewness – refers to the tendency to have
extreme outliers either at the top or bottom of the distribution.
* If a distribution is approximately normal, the distribution is described by characteristics 1 and 2.

Random Variable
A random variable is a variable which can take on a range of different values and we are never certain which value it is going to take on at a particular time.
The return on a risky project or investment can be perceived as a random variable.

Values far from the mean are given extra weight (because deviations from the mean are squared)

The lower the standard deviation the lower the risk.
Investment A is less risky than investment B in the figure 1 below because it has the lower standard deviation

Characteristics of Risk
Thus, there are at least three aspects to risk that we must capture.
First, the probability of having a poor outcome Second the potential size of this poor outcome. Third risky investments must provide the chance of
higher returns to compensate for the poor ones and thus give an above average expected return.
This is what we mean by the spread of possible outcomes
Provided we have symmetric distributions standard deviation will capture all these elements

Risk is not just the probability of making a loss Consider two investments which have the
same probability of making a loss. Are both investments equally risky?

The probability of making a loss is the same for each investment but investment B is certainly more risky. This is because the size of the potential loss is greater. Thus, there are at least two aspects to risk that we must capture. First, the probability of having a poor outcome and second the potential size of this poor outcome. A measure of spread or dispersion will embody both of these elements. We note that the standard deviation of B is certainly larger than that of A.
