time of the last market quote is the objective this satisfies steps 401 where the particular future date has been described by a horizon date of 1 year and 402 where the selection of a traded asset has been described by the corporate bond the method next selects a table of future prospective outcomes whose projected cashflow values have assigned probabilities step 403 the selected table of prospective cashflow future outcomes and respective probabilities is found in table 8 in columns 8d and 8e this satisfies step 403 the method next sorts these prospective cashflow future outcomes and respective probabilities in ascending order from lowest to highest step 404 these sorted outcomes with their respective probabilities still attached are shown in table 9 columns 9a and 9b this satisfies step 404 the method next cumulates the sorted probabilities so that the last probability equals the number one step 405 these cumulated probabilities are shown in column 9c the cumulated probability for the last sorted outcome 109 37 equals the number 1 this satisfies step 405 the method next selects a lambda value as the u201c market price of risk u201d this selection is a provisional value which will be reselected by the method again and again by iteration until the discounted wang price converges to equal the 100 00 the last market price for the bond one skilled in the art perceives that the returns in table 9 are not lognormal so that the sharpe ratio can only provide a provisional or starter lambda value for the purposes of this example the sharpe ratio is the average of weighted bond returns for the year minus the average.
