Study Notes
Applying the Valuation Principle
- The current prices in a competitive market are what matter when making a decision today.
- Personal opinions about future prospects of a resource do not alter the value of the decision today.
- A decision's value can be calculated by considering the current market prices of the resources involved.
Market Prices and the Valuation Principle
- In competitive markets, securities with the same cash flows must have the same price, according to the Law of One Price.
- Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of price differences in different markets to make a profit.
- Arbitrage opportunities arise when there is a difference in price for the same good in different markets.
The Time Value of Money and Interest Rates
- A dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future due to the time value of money.
- Depositing $1 at a 10% interest rate will result in $1.10 after one year.
