SST = RSS+SSE ● MSR = RSS/k
● MSE = SSE / (n-k-1)
●
Test statistical significance of regression: F = MSR / MSE with df k and
n-k-1 (1-tail)

Standard error of estimate (SEE =), Smaller SEE means better fit. ● Coefficient of determination (2/R RSS SST =). % of variability of Y
explained by X’s; Higher R 2 means better fit. 3. Regression Analysis-Problems
● Heteroskedasticity. Non-constant error variance. Detect with Breusch-Pagan
test. Correct with White-corrected standard errors.
● Autocorrelation. Correlation among error terms. Detect with Durbin-Watson
test; positive autocorrelation if DW<d 1. Correct by adjusting standard errors
using Hann method.
● Multicollinearity. High correlation among X’s. Detect if F-test significant,
t-test insignificant. Correct by dropping X variables. 4. Model Misspecification ● Omitting a variable.
● Variable should be transformed. ● Incorrectly pooling data.
● Using lagged dependent variable as independent variable. ● Forecasting the past.
● Measuring independent variables with error. 5. Effects of Misspecification
Regression coefficients are biad and inconsistent, lack of confidence in hypothesis tests of the coefficients or in the model predictions. 6. Linear Trend Model: 01t t y b b t ε=++ 7. Log-Linear Trend Models: 01ln()t t y b b t ε=++
8. Covariance Stationary: Mean and var. don’t change over time. To determine
if a time ries is covariance stationary, (1) plot data, (2) run an AR model and test correlations, and/
or (3) perform Dickey Fuller test.感冒能吃香蕉吗
9. Unit Root: Coefficient on lagged dep.vb1=1. ries with unit root is not
covariance stationary. First differencing will often eliminate the unit root. 10. Autoregressive (AR) Models: Specified correctly if autocorrelation of
residuals not significant: t t p t p x b b x b x b x t ε---=+++++

ECONOMICS
1. One Third Rule: at given technology level, 1% increa in capital/labor hour
leads to 1/3 % increa in real GDP per hour.
2. Rule of 70: approximate to double GDP = 70/growth rate.
3. Classical Growth Theory ●
4. Neoclassical Growth Theory
● Economic growth stops when real return = target return. ● Pop. Growth independent of economic growth. 5. New Growth Theory
● Economic growth continues indefinitely ad technology advances. ● ↓real rate => incentive to discover new products and methods. ● Discovery => real return > target return. 6. Nominal & Real Exchange Rate
● Nominal ex. Rate (E): price of one currency in terms of another; obrved in EX markets.
汽车plus是什么意思● Real exchange rate = E ×(P/P *)
7.
Balance of Payment: current account + capital account + official rerve account = 0
8. Foreign Exchange: Direct quotes:
● if quote is ₤ per $ (or USD:GBP), this is a direct quote from the perspective of the pound.

Bid-ask spread stated as percent of asking price:

● Foreign currency is at forward discount (premium) if F is below (above) S,

=-● Currency appreciates due to: (1) Lower relative income growth rate. (2)
Lower relative inflation rate. (3) Higher domestic real interest rate. (4) Improved investment climate.
9. Unanticipated shift to exp. Monetary Policy: Higher income, accelerated
inflation, lower real interest rates, leads to currency dept, current acct surplus, and financial acct deficit.
10. Unanticipated shift to exp. Fiscal Policy: currency appr, current acct deficit,
& financial account surplus. 11. Purchasing Power Parity:
● Law of one price: a single, clearly comparable good should have same real
price in all countries.
● Relative PPP: Countries with high inflation rates should e their currencies
depreciate.

1. Accounting for InterCorp Investments
a) Minority passive: < 20% owned, no significant influence.
i. Held-to-maturity at cost on B/S; interest and realized gain/loss on I/S ii. Available-for-sale at FMV with unrealized gains/loss in equity on B/S;
dividends, interest, realized gains/loss on I/S
iii. Held-for-trading at FMV , dividend, interest, realized and unrealized
gains/loss on I/S.
b) Minority active: 20-50% owned, significant influence. With equity
method, pro-rata share of the investee’s earnings increa, B/S investment account, also in I/S. Div. received decrea investment account. (div. not in I/S)
c) Controlling: >50% owned, control. Consolidation, all asts, liability,
revenue, and expen of sub combined with parent, excluding
d)
preferred, similar to regular consolidation, except only include pro-rata share. US GAAP: equity method.
2.
Financial Effect of Choice of Method: equity, consolidation, proportionate
consolidation.
a)
All three methods report same net income. b)
All three methods report same ROE
c) Ast, liabilities, sales are highest under consolidation; lowest under
equity method; proportionate consolidation in between. 3. a) b)
c)Pension expen components: current rvice cost, interest cost, expected怎样在电脑上打字
return on plan asts, prior (past) rvice cost, net actuarial gains/loss. d) Aggressive assumptions/low earnings quality: high discount rate, low
compensation growth rate, high expected return.
4.Economic pension expen: if < firm contribution, diff = ↓ in overall pension
obligation. If > firm contribution, diff = borrowing (and reclass from CFO to CFF)
5.Balance sheet: GAAP vs. IFRS: GAAP: net asts/liability = funded status =
economic reality. IFRS: net asts/liab = funded status adj. for unrecognized items.
6.Underlying Economic Pension Expen: Sum of all changes in PBO (except
benefits paid) less actual ROA. Also = change in funded status exclude firm’s contributions. Service cost= operating expen. Interest and actual ROA repeated as non operating income.
7.Business Combinations:
a)Purcha method required under U.S. GAAP and IFRS
b)Goodwill not amortized, subject to annual impairment test.
8.Purcha Method Attributes:
a)Acquirer assumes asts/liabilities of acquired company.
b)Excess FMV of acquired net asts allocated first to intangible asts,
then goodwill.
c)Prior operating results not restated.
9.Pooling Method Attributes
a)Company f/s combined at book value.
b)Prior operating results restated.
10.Impact of Purcha vs. Pooling
a)Ast and equity higher, net income lower under purcha method.
b)Profit margin, ROA, ROE lower under purcha method.
11.Entity is VIE if any of:
12.Multinational Operations: Choice of Method
a)Insufficient at-risk equity investment.
b)Shareholder lack decision-making rights.
c)Shareholder do not absorb loss
d)Shareholder do not receive residual benefits.
The primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE.
Qualifying SPE: GAAP allows – no consol. (u equity method). Not permitted under IFRS.
13.Multinational Operations: Choice of Method
For lf-contained sub, functional ≠prentation currency; u all-current method:
a)Asts/liabilities at current rate.
b)Common stock at historical rate.
