CFA Level 1 Formula Sheet
Key formulas you must remember for the exam
Quantitative Methods
- Future Value:
FV = PV × (1 + r)^n - Present Value:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n - Effective Annual Rate:
EAR = (1 + r/n)^n − 1 - Holding Period Return:
HPR = (P1 − P0 + D) / P0 - Variance (sample):
s² = Σ(x − x̄)² / (n − 1) - Standard Deviation:
σ = √variance - Correlation Coefficient:
ρ = Cov(X,Y) / (σx × σy)
Economics
- GDP Deflator:
GDP Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) × 100 - Real Exchange Rate:
Real FX = Nominal FX × (CPI foreign / CPI domestic) - Elasticity of Demand:
Elasticity = (%∆Qd) / (%∆P) - Fisher Equation:
Nominal Rate ≈ Real Rate + Expected Inflation
Financial Statement Analysis (FSA)
- ROA:
ROA = Net Income / Average Total Assets - ROE:
ROE = Net Income / Average Equity - Current Ratio:
Current Assets / Current Liabilities - Quick Ratio:
(Cash + Marketable Securities + Receivables) / Current Liabilities - Debt-to-Equity:
Total Debt / Total Equity - Interest Coverage:
EBIT / Interest Expense
Corporate Finance
- Cost of Equity (CAPM):
Re = Rf + β(Rm − Rf) - WACC:
WACC = (E/V)Re + (D/V)Rd(1 − Tc) - NPV:
NPV = ∑ [CFt / (1 + r)^t] − Initial Outlay - IRR:
Set NPV = 0 and solve for r
Equity Investments
- Dividend Discount Model:
P0 = D1 / (r − g) - Gordon Growth Model:
P0 = D0(1+g) / (r − g) - P/E Ratio:
P/E = Market Price / EPS
Fixed Income
- Bond Price:
P = ∑ [Coupon / (1 + r)^t] + [FV / (1 + r)^n] - Current Yield:
Annual Coupon / Price - Yield to Maturity (YTM):
Solve for r in Bond Price formula - Duration (approx.):
(P− − P+) / (2 × P0 × ∆y)
Derivatives
- Forward Price:
F = S(1 + r)^t - Payoff (Long Call):
max(0, S − X) - Payoff (Short Put):
max(0, X − S)
Portfolio Management
- Expected Return:
E(R) = ∑ [wi × Ri] - Portfolio Variance:
σ²p = ∑∑(wi × wj × ρij × σi × σj) - Sharpe Ratio:
(Rp − Rf) / σp
