Ending Value + Distributions – Original CostEnding Value + Distributions – Original Cost Example 7.1, Bought Trading Card for $50 and Example 7.1, Bought Trading Card for $50 and
sold it for $55, Dollar Return (Profit) $5sold it for $55, Dollar Return (Profit) $5 Percentage ReturnPercentage Return
[(Ending Value + Distributions) / Original Cost] – 1[(Ending Value + Distributions) / Original Cost] – 1 Example 7.1, [$55 +$0 / $50] - 1 = 10%Example 7.1, [$55 +$0 / $50] - 1 = 10%
Calculating a return with distributionsCalculating a return with distributions Example 7.1, Stock with dividendExample 7.1, Stock with dividend [($47.82 + $0.90) / $42.00] – 1 = 16%[($47.82 + $0.90) / $42.00] – 1 = 16%

Risk as UncertaintyRisk as Uncertainty
Risk is the uncertainty in the outcome of an Risk is the uncertainty in the outcome of an event (potential good and bad outcomes)event (potential good and bad outcomes)
An event where the outcome is known before An event where the outcome is known before the event is free of uncertainty or risk-freethe event is free of uncertainty or risk-free

Relationship of average return and standard Relationship of average return and standard deviation – first look at risk and return tradeoffdeviation – first look at risk and return tradeoff
Measuring Risk Using Variance Measuring Risk Using Variance
Measure of the swing from year to year: Measure of the swing from year to year: Variance Variance ((σσ22))
Greater the variance the greater the potential Greater the variance the greater the potential outcomesoutcomes
Standard Deviation (Standard Deviation (σσ) = Variance) = Variance1/21/2 [( [(σσ22))1/21/2]]

Risk and Return TradeoffRisk and Return Tradeoff
