BOND VALUATION

I. BOND VALUTION TERMINOLOGY

Bond

Par or Face Value: Maturity Value, M

Coupon Interest Rate: Coupon Payment

Maturity: Maturity Date

Call Provision; Call Protection; Call Premium

Issue Date

Default Risk

Yield to Maturity or Yield, kd

*

II. GENERAL VALUTION MODEL

The value of any asset can be found as the present value of its expected future cash flows, discounted at the yield to maturity (ytm):

P = Principal value or face value or maturity value

*

The discount rate depends on:

  • The risk of the cash flows.
  • The general level of interest rates, which reflects inflation, supply and demand for money, production opportunities and time preferences for consumption.

*

III. VALUING A BOND

1.Suppose you are a CFO and want to issue a two-year $1000 face value note with 8% semiannual coupons. What is a the price at which you can sell the note? You consider notes of similar characteristics should yield 10%.

*

2.You want to issue the note for around $965, but find there is not much demand for it. What should you do?

3.Suppose you offer the note for $955. What is the implied yield?

*

4.Suppose when you wanted to issue the note for $965 there is a great deal of interest in the note. So you want to sell the note for $975. What is the implied yield?

5.What is the relationship between bond price and yield?

*

6.Suppose an investor buys the bond today at $975 and sells it after six months (after the first coupon is paid) when the yield to maturity is 10%. (a) What would be the 6-month holding period return (HPR)?

(b) What would be the annualized return?

IV. INFLATION AND REAL VERSUS NOMINAL INTEREST RATES

  • Quotes of interest rates in the financial press are commonly referred to as the nominal (or quoted) interest rates. Real rate of interest adjusts for the effects of inflation.
  • Real Rate of Interest (approximation)

≈ Nominal interest rate – Inflation premium

Fisher Effect: The Nominal and Real Rate of Interest

  • The relationship between the nominal rate of interest, rnominal , the anticipated rate of inflation, rinflation , and the real rate of interest is known as the Fisher effect.

V. INTEREST-RATE DETERMINANTS

The nominal return or interest rate on a note or bond can be thought of including five basic components:

INTEREST-RATE DETERMINANTS (CONT’D)

  • The inflation premium
  • Default–risk premium
  • Maturity-risk premium
  • Liquidity-risk premium

*

VI. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT

  • Finding yield to maturity (YTM)
  • Relationship between bond price and YTM
  • Finding HPR

ZERO GROWTH CASE

Applicable for firms with no growth prospects

Zero growth in earnings => Zero growth in dividends => Find value of a perpetuity

The valuation formula reduces to:

*

Suppose HotJobs, Inc. sees bleak future and expects its earnings to remain flat at $2.00 per share indefinitely. Investors require a 16% yield from it.

  • Vps = the value of a share of preferred stock
  • Dps = the annual preferred stock dividend
  • rps = the market yield or the rate of return on the preferred stock’s promised dividend

ZERO GROWTH CASE (Cont’d)

*

CONSTANT GROWTH CASE

Applicable for a firm that expects to grow at the same (constant) rate indefinitely

For a constant growth stock, earnings, dividends and stock prices are all expected to grow at the constant rate ‘g’

*

CONSTANT GROWTH CASE (Cont’d)

Under the assumption of constant growth in dividends indefinitely, the valuation model reduces to:

rCS  the required return on the stock

Note (1) that ‘g’ must be constant forever, and (2) that rCS must be greater than ‘g’.

Determinants of the Investor’s Required Rate of Return

The investor’s required rate of return is determined by two key factors:

The level of interest rates in the economy;

The risk of the firm’s stock.

Determinants of the Investor’s Required Rate of Return (cont’d)

CAPM (SML relationship) suggests that if risk-free rate and/or systematic risk (beta) rises, the investor’s required rate of return will rise and the stock price will fall.

Determinants of the Growth Rate of Future Dividends

The growth rate of future dividends (g) can also change and lead to a change in the stock price. The two key determinants of a firm’s growth opportunities relate to:

the return on equity (ROE), and

the retention ratio (b)

Determinants of Growth Rate of Future Dividends (cont’d)

The growth rate is formally expressed as follows:

  • g = the expected rate of growth of dividends
  • D1/E1 = the dividend payout ratio
  • b = the proportion of firm’s earnings that are retained and reinvested in the firm.
  • ROE = the return on equity earned when the firm reinvests a portion of its earning back into the firm.

Determinants of the Investor’s Required Rate of Return (cont’d)

  • Dividend payout ratio = 0.5
  • Return on equity (ROE) = 12%
  • g = (1 - 0.5)12% = 6%

*

*

CONSTANT GROWTH CASE (Cont’d)

Assume HotJobs, Inc. foresees better times, and it expects to grow, but at a constant rate indefinitely. Data on the stock are:

b = 1.2 rrf = 10% rm = 15%

(a) Find rcs

SML: rcs = rrf +(rm + rrf)b

= 10%+(15% - 10%)1.2= 16%

(b) If Do = $2 and g = 6% = constant, find:

D1 =

D2 =

D3 =

*

CONSTANT GROWTH CASE (Cont’d)

(c) Find

*

CONSTANT GROWTH CASE (Cont’d)

Consider previous facts as given for HotJobs:

ks = 16%, D0 = $2, g = 6% (constant)

D1 = $2.12

D2 = $2.247

D3 = $2.382

STOCK VALUATION MODELS

We can value a stock using the following approaches:

PV of all future dividends

PV of all future cash flows

PV of future earnings minus future investments

PV of current earnings + PV of growth opportunities

Defining the P/E Ratio Valuation Model

  • Vcs = the value of common stock of the firm.
  • P/E1 = the price earnings ratio for the firm based on the current price per share divided by earnings for end of year 1.
  • E1 = estimated earnings per share of common stock for the end of year 1.

The Problem

After some careful analysis and reflection on the valuation of the Heals’ shares the company CFO suggested that the earnings projection are too conservative and earnings for the coming year could easily jump to $2.00. What does this do for your estimate of the value of Heals’ shares?

Solution

Suppose the PE ratio is 18.20.

Vcs = 18.20 × $2

= $36.40

The Stock Market

  • Key Terms

10-*

Learning Objectives

Identify the basic characteristics and features of common stock and use the discounted cash flow model to value common shares.

Use the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to value common stock.

Identify the basic characteristics and features of preferred stock and value preferred shares.

Use the secondary markets for common stock.

10-*

Principles Applied in This Chapter

  • Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value.
  • Principle 2: There is a Risk-Reward Tradeoff.
  • Principle 3: Cash Flows are the Source of Value.
  • Principle 4: Market Prices Reflect Information.
  • Principle 5: Individuals Respond to Incentives.

10-*

Common Stock

Common stockholders are the owners of the firm. They elect the firm’s board of directors who in turn appoint the firm’s top management team. The firm’s management team then carries out the day-to-day management of the firm.

10-*

Common Stock Characteristics

Claim on Income Common stockholders have the right to the firm’s income after bondholders and preferred stockholders have been paid. The common stockholders either receive dividends or any increase in value that results from the reinvested earnings.

10-*

Common Stock Characteristics (cont.)

  • Claim on Assets In case of liquidation, common stockholders have residual claim on assets.
  • Voting Rights In general, common shareholders are the only security holders given the right to vote. Most shareholders vote by proxy.

10-*

Common Stock Characteristics (cont.)

Agency Costs and Common Stock Shareholders elect the board. In reality, board members are nominated by the management. As a result, management effectively elects the board. This may lead to agency problems.

10-*

Valuing Common Stock Using the Discounted Dividend Model

Like bonds, common stock’s value is equal to the present value of all future cash flows that the stockholder expects to receive from owning the shares of stock. However, unlike bonds, the future cash flows in the form of dividends are not fixed and there is no maturity date.

10-*

Three Step Procedure for Valuing Common Stock

Step 1: Estimate the amount and timing of the receipt of the future cash flows the common stock is expected to provide.

Step 2: Evaluate the riskiness of the common stock’s future dividends to determine the stock’s required rate of return.

10-*

Three Step Procedure for Valuing Common Stock (cont.)

Step 3: Calculate the present value of the expected dividends by discounting them back to the present at the stock’s required rate of return.

  • The three steps show that the value of a common stock is equal to the present value of all future dividends.

10-*

The Constant Dividend Growth Rate Model

If a firm’s cash dividend grow by a constant rate, then the common stock can be valued as follows:

10-*

The Problem

What is the value of a share of common stock that paid $6 dividend at the end of last year and is expected to pay a cash dividend every year from now to infinity, with that dividend growing at a rate of 5 percent per year, if the investor’s required rate of return is 12% on that stock?

10-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

With a perpetuity, a timeline goes on for ever with the growing cash flow occurring every period.

i=12%

Years

Cash flows $6 $6(1.05) $6(1.05)2

0

2 …

Value of common

Dividends.

The growing

forever

10-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

  • The value of a share of stock can be viewed as a the present value of a growing perpetuity.
  • Here we know the expected dividends, the growth rate, and investor’s required rate of return.
  • We can use equation 10-2 to determine the value of a share of common stock.

10-*

Step 3: Solve

  • We need to first determine D1, the dividend next period.
  • Since dividends at the end of last year was $6 and dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 5%, dividends for next period will be:
  • D1 = D0 (1+g) = $6 (1.05) = $6.30

10-*

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

  • Vcs = $6.30 ÷ (0.12-0.05) = $6.30 ÷ 0.07

= $90

10-*

Step 4: Analyze

Equation 10-2 is based on the assumption that dividends will grow at a constant rate for ever. While not a realistic assumption, it enables us to determine the value of common stock easily and also helps us to identify the factors that move the stock prices.

10-*

What Causes Stock Prices to Go Up and Down?

Equation 10-2 indicates that there are three variables that drive share value:

  • The most recent dividend (D0),
  • Investor’s required rate of return (rcs ), and
  • Expected rate of growth in future dividends (g).

10-*

What Causes Stock Prices to Go Up and Down? (cont.)

Since most recent dividend (D0) has already been paid, it cannot affect price. Thus the other two variables, rcs and g, can vary and lead to changes in stock prices.

10-*

Determinants of the Investor’s Required Rate of Return

The investor’s required rate of return is determined by two key factors:

The level of interest rates in the economy;

The risk of the firm’s stock.

10-*

Determinants of the Investor’s Required Rate of Return (cont.)

CAPM suggests that if risk-free rate and/or systematic risk (beta) rises, the investor’s required rate of return will rise and the stock price will fall.

10-*

Determinants of the Growth Rate of Future Dividends

The growth rate of future dividends (g) can also change and lead to a change in the stock price. The two key determinants of a firm’s growth opportunities relate to:

  • the return on equity (ROE), and
  • the retention ratio (b)

10-*

Determinants of Growth Rate of Future Dividends (cont.)

The growth rate is formally expressed as follows:

  • g = the expected rate of growth of dividends
  • D1/E1 = the dividend payout ratio
  • b = the proportion of firm’s earnings that are retained and reinvested in the firm.
  • ROE = the return on equity earned when the firm reinvests a portion of its earning back into the firm.

10-*

The Comparables Approach to Valuing Common Stock

This method estimates the value of the firm’s stock as a multiple of some measure of firm’s performance. The most common metric is earnings per share. Thus values are determined from the price-to-earnings ratio of comparable firms.

10-*

Defining the P/E Ratio Valuation Model

  • Vcs = the value of common stock of the firm.
  • P/E1 = the price earnings ratio for the firm based on the current price per share divided by earnings for end of year 1.
  • E1 = estimated earnings per share of common stock for the end of year 1.

The Problem

After some careful analysis and reflection on the valuation of the Heals’ shares the company CFO suggested that the earnings projection are too conservative and earnings for the coming year could easily jump to $2.00. What does this do for your estimate of the value of Heals’ shares?

10-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

P/E

Multiple

Stock Price

10-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

  • The common stock value can be computed by multiplying the firm’s estimated earnings per share for the coming year by what the analyst estimates to be an appropriate P/E ratio.

  • We can use equation 10-4 to estimate the value of common stock.

10-*

Step 3: Solve

Vcs = 18.20 × $2

= $36.40

10-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • We estimated the value of Heales’ shares based on the P/E ratios of three comparable firms. However, this estimate is contingent on the appropriateness of the comparable set of companies to the Heals Shoe Company.
  • Furthermore, if the market conditions change by the time the shares are sold in the market, the price estimate will not be appropriate.

10-*

What Determines the P/E Ratio for a Stock?

Using Equation 10-5a and 10-5b, there are two fundamental determinants of a firm’s P/E ratio:

Growth Rate in Dividends (higher the growth rate, higher the P/E ratio), and

Investor-Required Rates of Return (higher the required rate, lower the P/E ratio)

10-*

Features of Preferred Stock

  • Dividend: In general, size of preferred stock dividend is fixed, and it is either stated as a dollar amount or as a percentage of the preferred stock’s par value.
  • Multiple Classes: A company can issue more than one class of preferred stock, and each class can have different characteristics.

10-*

Features of Preferred Stock (cont.)

  • Claims on Assets and Income: Preferred stockholders have priority over those of common stockholders for payment of dividends and in settlement of claims at bankruptcy. Most preferred stock carry a cumulative feature i.e. all past unpaid dividends must be paid before any common stock dividends can be declared.

10-*

Features of Preferred Stock (cont.)

Preferred Stock as a Hybrid Security:

  • Like common stocks, preferred stocks do not have a fixed maturity date. Also, like common stocks, nonpayment of dividends does not bring on bankruptcy, and dividends are not deductible for tax purposes.
  • Like debt, preferred stocks have a fixed dividend. Also, most preferred stocks are periodically retired even though there is no stated maturity date.

10-*

Valuing Preferred Stock

Because preferred stocks are perpetuities (non-maturing), and because the cash dividend is the same every period, they can be valued using the present value of perpetuity equation introduced in chapter 6 (equation 6-5).

10-*

Valuing Preferred Stock (cont.)

  • Vps = the value of a share of preferred stock
  • Dps = the annual preferred stock dividend
  • rps = the market yield or the rate of return on the preferred stock’s promised dividend

10-*

Estimating the Market’s Required Yield

Estimating the Market Yield: We can use equation 10-6 to solve for the market’s required yield.

rps = Dps ÷Vps

10-*

CHECKPOINT 10.3:
CHECK YOURSELF

Valuing Preferred Stock

What is the present value of a share of preferred stock that pays a dividend of $12 per share if the market’s yield on similar issues of preferred stock is 8%?

Preferred stocks are constant for all years and form a level perpetuity.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy
Step 3: Solve

We can determine the present value of share of preferred stock using equation 10-6.

Vps = $12 ÷ 0.08 = $150

10-*

Step 4: Analyze

Since preferred stock is a level perpetuity, its value on any future date will be the same as its present value today as long as the promised rate of return on the share remains the same.

10-*

The Stock Market

As discussed in chapter 2, new securities trade in the primary market while currently outstanding securities trade in the secondary market. There are two types of secondary markets: organized exchanges and over-the-counter markets.

10-*

Organized Exchanges

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), also called the “Big Board,” is the oldest of all organized exchanges. While the NYSE is considered an organized exchange because of its physical location, the majority of its trades are done electronically without a face-to-face meeting of traders.

10-*

Organized Exchanges (cont.)

  • To be listed on the NYSE, a firm must meet strict requirements dealing with profitability and market value, and be widely owned.
  • Much of the trading on the NYSE is made up of block trades i.e. transactions involving 10,000 shares or more by a single individual or institution.

10-*

Organized Exchanges (cont.)

  • The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) is the nation’s second largest, floor-based exchange. However, in terms of trading volume, the AMEX is a distant number two with less than 3% of that on the NYSE.
  • Although AMEX merged with NASDAQ in 1998 it continues to operate as a separate entity.

10-*

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market

The over-the-counter market is a network of dealers that has no listing or membership requirements. Today, the OTC market is electronic rather than personal, with Nasdaq leading the way. It is also the primary market for bonds.

10-*

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market (cont.)

  • Nasdaq debuted in 1971 and was the world’s first electronic stock market. While Nasdaq lists more companies than the NYSE, they are relatively smaller companies (with a few exceptions)
  • There are about 1,000 market participants, in general trading firms that are linked electronically, with price and trading information broadcast to over 350,000 terminals worldwide.

10-*

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market (cont.)

The Nasdaq stock market has two tiers of listed companies:

  • Nasdaq National Markets, made up of around 4,000 companies like Dell (D), Intel (INTC); and
  • Nasdaq Smallcap Market, which includes over 1,000 smaller emerging growth companies.

Table 4.1 Observations

  • Table 4-1 created by dividing each entry in the income statement of Table 3.1 by firm sales for 2013.
  • Cost of goods sold make up 75% of the firm’s sales resulting in a gross profit of 25%.

Using Financial Ratios (cont.)

4-*

Liquidity Ratios

  • Liquidity ratios address a basic question: How liquid is the firm?
  • A firm is financially liquid if it is able to pay its bills on time. We can analyze a firm’s liquidity from two perspectives (see next slide).

Overall liquidity - analyzed by comparing the firm’s current assets to the firm’s current liabilities.

Liquidity of specific assets - analyzed by examining the timeliness in which the firm’s liquid assets (accounts receivable and inventories) are converted into cash.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Current Ratio

  • The overall liquidity of a firm is analyzed by computing the current ratio and acid-test ratio. Current Ratio: Current Ratio compares a firm’s current (liquid) assets to its current (short-term) liabilities.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Current Ratio (cont.)

  • What is the current ratio for 2012 for Boswell?

Current Ratio = $477 ÷ 292.5 = 1.63 times

  • The firm had $1.63 in current assets for every $1 it owed in current liability.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Quick Ratio

  • Acid-Test (Quick) Ratio excludes the inventory from current assets as inventory may not be very liquid.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Quick Ratio
(cont.)

  • What is the quick ratio for Boswell for 2012?
  • Quick Ratio

= ($477-$229.50) ÷ ($292.50) = 0.84 times

  • The firm has only $0.84 in current assets (less inventory) to cover $1 in current liabilities.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios:
Individual Asset Categories

We can also measure the liquidity of the firm by examining the liquidity of accounts receivable and inventories to see how long it takes the firm to convert its accounts receivables and inventories into cash.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Accounts Receivable

Average Collection Period measures the number of days it takes the firm to collects its receivables.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Accounts Receivable (cont.)

  • What will be the average collection period for Boswell, Inc. for 2012 if we assume that the annual credit sales were $2,500 million?
  • Daily Credit Sales

= $2,500 ÷ 365 days = $6.85 million

  • Average Collection Period

= $139.5m ÷ $6.85m = 20.37 days

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio measures how many times receivables are “rolled over” during a year.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios: Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio (cont.)

  • What will be the accounts receivable turnover ratio for Boswell, Inc. for 2012 if we assume that the annual credit sales were $2,500 million?
  • Accounts Receivable Turnover

= $2,500 million ÷ $139.50 = 17.92 times

  • The firm’s accounts receivable were turning over at 17.92 times per year.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios:
Inventory Turnover Ratio

Inventory turnover ratio measures how many times the company turns over its inventory during the year. Shorter inventory cycles lead to greater liquidity since the items in inventory are converted to cash more quickly.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios:
Inventory Turnover Ratio (cont.)

  • What will be the inventory turnover ratio for 2012 for Boswell, Inc. if we assume that the cost of goods sold were $1,980 million in 2012?
  • Inventory Turnover Ratio

= $1,980 ÷ $229.50 = 8.63 times

  • The firm turned over its inventory 8.63 times per year.

4-*

Liquidity Ratios:
Days’ Sales in Inventory

  • Days’ Sales in Inventory

= 365÷ inventory turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.63 = 42.29 days

  • The firm, on average, holds it inventory for about 42 days.

4-*

Can a Firm Have Too Much Liquidity?

  • A high investment in liquid assets will enable the firm to repay its current liabilities in a timely manner.
  • However, an excessive investments in liquid assets can prove to be costly as liquid assets (such as cash) generate minimal return.

Evaluating Dell’s Liquidity

Why do you think HP’s inventory turnover ratio is so much lower than Dell’s inventory turnover ratio?

4-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

  • The inventory turnover ratio will measure how many days items remain in inventory before being sold.
  • Inventory turnover ratio is important as it has implications for cash flows and profitability of a firm.

4-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy
Step 3: Solve

  • We will use the following equation to compute the Inventory Turnover (IT) ratio

IT ratio = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Inventories

  • Inventory Turnover Ratio for HP

= $97,529,000 ÷ 7,490,000 = 13.02

4-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • HP’s inventory turnover ratio indicates that the inventory at HP remains on shelf for (365 ÷ 13.02) days or 28.03 days. This is much higher than Dell that has an inventory turnover ratio of 34.37 or shelf life of only 10.61 days.
  • The significant difference must be investigated further as the two firms are in the same industry.

4-*

Step 4: Analyze (cont.)

There are two reasons why HP has a lower turnover of inventories relative to Dell:

  • HP sells computers out of inventory of computers while Dell builds computers only when orders are received.
  • HP carries more parts inventory on hand than does Dell.

4-*

Comparing the Financing Decisions

of HD and LOW

What would be Home Depot’s times interest earned ratio if interest payments remained the same, but net operating income dropped by 80% to only $1.332 billion? Similarly if Lowes’ net operating income dropped by 80%, what would its times interest earned ratio be?

4-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

  • Times interest earned ratio is an important ratio for firms that use debt financing. It measures the firm’s ability to service its debt.
  • The ratio requires comparing net operating income or EBIT with Interest expense. Both items are found on the income statement.

4-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem (cont.)

  • Picture an Income Statement
  • Sales
  • Less: Cost of Good Sold
  • Equals: Gross Profit
  • Less: Operating Expenses
  • Equals: Net Operating Income (EBIT)
  • Less: Interest Expense
  • Equals: Earnings before Taxes
  • Less: Taxes
  • Equals Net Income

EBIT

Interest

Expense

4-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

  • Here we are considering the impact of a drop in EBIT on the times interest earned ratio of Home Depot and Lowes. We will use the following ratio to measure the times interest earned (TIE) ratio.
  • TIE = EBIT ÷ Interest Expense

4-*

Step 3: Solve

  • TIE (Home Depot)

= $1.332 billion ÷ $0.606 billion = 2.20 times

  • TIE (Lowes)

= $0.655 billion ÷$0.371 billion = 1.77 times

4-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • We observe that a drop in net operating income leads to a significant drop in times interest earned ratio for both the firms. Should creditors be worried by this drop?
  • The ratio is still reasonably safe. For example, for Home Depot, even if the EBIT shrank further by 55.55% (1-1/2.20 ), it can still pay its interest expense.

4-*

Evaluating the Operating Return on Assets (OROA) for HD and LOW

If Home Depot were able to raise its total asset turnover ratio to 2.5 while maintaining its current operating profit margin, what would happen to its operating return on assets?

4-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

  • The operating return on assets ratio for a firm is determined by two factors: cost control and asset utilization. Here the focus is on asset utilization.

4-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

We will analyze the impact on operating return on assets of improvement on the total asset turnover ratio by using the following equation:

  • Operating Return on Assets (OROA)

= Total Asset Turnover × Operating Profit Margin

4-*

Step 3: Solve

  • Operating Return on Assets (OROA)
  • = Total Asset Turnover × Operating Profit Margin
  • Before = 1.74 × 9.46% = 16.46%
  • Now = 2.5 × 9.46% = 23.65%

4-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • An improvement in total asset turnover ratio has a favorable impact on Home Depot’s operating return on assets (OROA).
  • If Home Depot wants to increase its OROA more, it should focus on cost control that will help improve the net operating profit.

Comparing the Valuation of DELL to APPL Using Market Value Ratios

What price per share for Dell would it take to increase the firm’s price-to-earnings ratio to the level of Apple?

4-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

Price-to-earnings (PE) ratio depends on earnings per share and price per share, pictured as follows:

Price per share standardized by

EPS =

Net income ÷ number

of shares outstanding

PE Ratio =

Price per share ÷

Earnings per share

4-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

We need to determine the price per share that will make PE ratio of Dell (4.83) equal to the PE ratio of Apple (13.22).

  • PE ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share

==> 13.22 = ? ÷ 2.01

  • Price per share = 13.22 × 2.01 = $26.57

4-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • PE ratio allows us to compare two stocks with different prices by standardizing the stock prices by earnings.
  • Apple has a much higher PE ratio. To reach the same PE valuation, the stock price of Dell will have to increase from $9.70 to $26.57.

Selecting a Performance Benchmark

  • There are two types of benchmarks that are commonly used:
  • Trend Analysis – compares a firm’s financial statements over time (time-series comparisons).
  • Peer Group Comparisons – compares the subject firm’s financial statements with “peer” firms.

4-*

Trend Analysis

  • Comparing a firm’s recent financial ratios with the past financial ratios provides insight into whether the firm is improving or deteriorating over time. This type of financial analysis is referred to as trend analysis.

Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value.

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

5-*

Using Timelines to Visualize Cashflows

  • A timeline identifies the timing and amount of a stream of payments – both cash received and cash spent - along with the interest rate earned.
  • A timeline is typically expressed in years, but it could also be expressed as months, days or any other unit of time.

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Time Line Example

i=10%

Years

Cash flow -$100 $30 $20 -$10 $50

The 4-year timeline illustrates the following:

  • The interest rate is 10%.
  • A cash outflow of $100 occurs at the beginning of the first year (at time 0), followed by cash inflows of $30 and $20 in years 1 and 2, a cash outflow of $10 in year 3 and cash inflow of $50 in year 4.

The Key Question

  • What is value today of cash flow to be received in the future?
  • The answer to this question requires computing the present value (PV) i.e. the value today of a future cash flow, and the process of discounting, determining the present value of an expected future cash flow.

Step 4: Analyze

  • There is a significant difference between APR and EAR (13.00% versus 13.80%).
  • If the interest rate is not compounded annually, we should compute the EAR to determine the actual interest earned on an investment or the actual interest paid on a loan.

To the Extreme:
Continuous Compounding

  • As m (number of compounding period) increases, so does the EAR. When the time intervals between when interest is paid are infinitely small, we can use the following mathematical formula to compute the EAR.
  • EAR = (e quoted rate ) – 1

Principles Applied in This Chapter

  • Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value
  • Principle 3: Cash Flows Are the Source of Value.

6-*

Ordinary Annuities

An annuity is a series of equal dollar payments that are made at the end of equidistant points in time, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. If payments are made at the end of each period, the annuity is referred to as ordinary annuity.

6-*

Ordinary Annuities (cont.)

  • Example How much money will you accumulate by the end of year 10 if you deposit $3,000 each year for the next ten years in a savings account that earns 5% per year?
  • Determine the answer by using the equation for computing the FV of an ordinary annuity.

6-*

The Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity

  • FVn = FV of annuity at the end of nth period.
  • PMT = annuity payment deposited or received at the end of each period
  • i = interest rate per period
  • n= number of periods for which annuity will last

6-*

The Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity (cont.)

Using equation 6-1c,

FV = $3000 {[ (1+.05)10 - 1] ÷ (.05)}

= $3,000 { [0.63] ÷ (.05) }

= $3,000 {12.58}

= $37,740

Step 3: Solution

Using a Mathematical Formula


$100,000 = PMT {[ (1+.12)18 - 1] ÷ (.12)}

= PMT{ [6.69] ÷ (.12) }

= PMT {55.75}

==> PMT = $1,793.73

6-*

Step 3: Solution (cont.)

  • Using a Financial Calculator
  • N=18
  • 1/y = 12.0
  • PV = 0
  • FV = 100000
  • PMT = -1,793.73
  • Using an Excel Spreadsheet

= PMT (rate, nper, pv, fv)

= PMT(.12, 18,0,100000)

= $1,793.73

6-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • If we contribute $1,793.73 every year for 18 years, we should be able to reach our goal of accumulating $100,000 if we earn a 12% return on our investments.
  • Note the last payment of $1,793.73 occurs at the end of year 18. In effect, the final payment does not have a chance to earn any interest.

6-*

Solving for the Interest Rate in an Ordinary Annuity

  • You can also solve for “interest rate” you must earn on your investment that will allow your savings to grow to a certain amount of money by a future date.
  • In this case, we know the values of n, PMT, and FVn in equation 6-1c and we need to determine the value of i.

Determining the Outstanding Balance of a Loan

Let’s assume you took out a $300,000, 30-year mortgage with an annual interest rate of 8% and monthly payments of $2,201.29. Because you have made 15 years worth of payments (that’s 180 monthly payments) there are another 180 monthly payments left before your mortgage will be totally paid off. How much do you still owe on your mortgage?

6-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

You took out a 30-year mortgage of $300,000 with an interest rate of 8% and monthly payment of $2,201.29. Since you have made payments for 15-years (or 180 months), there are 180 payments left before the mortgage will be fully paid off.

6-*

Step 2 (cont.)

  • The outstanding balance on the loan at anytime is equal to the present value of all the future monthly payments.
  • Here we will use equation 6-2c to determine the present value of future payments for the remaining 15-years or 180 months.

Step 4: Analyze

  • The amount you owe equals the present value of the remaining payments. Here we see that even after making payments for 15-years, you still owe around $230,344 on the original loan of $300,000. This is because most of the payment during the initial years goes towards the interest rather than the principal.

6-*

Annuities Due

Annuity due is an annuity in which all the cash flows occur at the beginning of each period. For example, rent payments on apartments are typically annuities due because the payment for the month’s rent occurs at the beginning of the month.

6-*

Annuities Due: Future Value

Computation of future value of an annuity due requires compounding the cash flows for one additional period, beyond an ordinary annuity.

6-*

Annuities Due: Present Value

Since with annuity due, each cash flow is received one year earlier, its present value will be discounted back for one less period.

6-*

Perpetuities

A perpetuity is an annuity that continues forever or has no maturity. For example, a dividend stream on a share of preferred stock. There are two basic types of perpetuities:

  • Growing perpetuity in which cash flows grow at a constant rate from period to period over time.
  • Level perpetuity in which the payments are constant over time.

6-*

Calculating the Present Value of a Level Perpetuity

PV = the present value of a level perpetuity

PMT = the constant dollar amount provided by the perpetuity

i = the interest (or discount) rate per period

Step 3: Solve

Present Value of Perpetuity can be solved easily using equation 6-5.

  • PV = $90,000 ÷ .09 = $1,000,000

6-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • Here the present value of perpetuity is $1,000,000.
  • The present value of perpetuity is not affected by time. Thus, the perpetuity will be worth $1,000,000 at 5 years and at 100 years.

6-*

Present Value of a Growing Perpetuity

In growing perpetuities, the periodic cash flows grow at a constant rate each period.

CHECKPOINT 6.5:
CHECK YOURSELF

The Present Value of a Growing Perpetuity

What is the present value of a stream of payments where the year 1 payment is $90,000 and the future payments grow at a rate of 5% per year? The interest rate used to discount the payments is 9%.

6-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

With a growing perpetuity, a timeline goes on forever with the growing cash flow occurring every period.

6-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

  • The present value of a growing perpetuity can be computed by using equation 6-6.
  • We can substitute the values of PMT ($90,000), i (9%) and g (5%) in equation 6-6 to determine the present value.

6-*

Step 3: Solve

PV = $90,000 ÷ (.09-.05)

= $90,000 ÷ .04

= $2,250,000

6-*

Step 4: Analyze

Comparing the present value of a level perpetuity (checkpoint 6.4: check yourself) with a growing perpetuity (checkpoint 6.5: check yourself) shows that adding a 5% growth rate has a dramatic effect on the present value of cash flows. The present value increases from $1,000,000 to $2,250,000.

6-*

Complex Cash Flow Streams

The cash flows streams in the business world may not always involve one type of cash flows. The cash flows may have a mixed pattern of cash inflows and outflows, single and annuity cash flows. Figure 6-4 summarizes the complex cash flow stream for Marriott.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy (cont.)

  • The $800 annuity will have to be solved in two stages:
  • Determine the present value of ordinary annuity for four years.

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

Second, find the present value of $2,536 discounted back 6 years at 10%.

Calculating the Realized Return from an Investment

Realized return or cash return measures the gain or loss on an investment.

Example: You invested in 1 share of Apple (AAPL) for $95 and sold a year later for $200. The company did not pay any dividend during that period. What will be the cash return on this investment?

7-‹#›

Calculating the Realized Return from an Investment (cont.)

Cash Return = $200 + 0 - $95

7-‹#›

Calculating the Realized Return from an Investment (cont.)

We can also calculate the rate of return as a percentage. It is simply the cash return divided by the beginning stock price.

7-‹#›

Calculating the Realized Return from an Investment (cont.)

Example: Compute the rate of return for the previous example.

Rate of Return = ($200 + 0 - $95) ÷ 95

Table 7-1 Measuring an Investor’s Realized Rate of Return from Investing in Common Stock

7-‹#›

Calculating the Realized Return from an Investment (cont.)

Table 7-1 indicates that the returns from investing in common stocks can be positive or negative.

However, past performance is not an indicator of future performance. In general, we expect to receive higher returns for assuming more risk.

7-‹#›

Calculating the Expected Return from an Investment

Expected return is what the investor expects to earn from an investment in the future.

It is the weighted average of the possible returns, where the weights are determined by the probability that it occurs.

Calculating the Expected Return from an Investment (cont.)

7-‹#›

Table 7-2 Calculating the Expected Rate of Return for an Investment in Common Stock

7-‹#›

Calculating the Expected Return from an Investment (cont.)

Using equation 7-3,

Expected Return

= (-10%×0.2) + (12%×0.3) + (22%×0.5)

= 12.6%

7-‹#›

Measuring Risk

In the example on Table 7-2, the expected return is 12.6%; However, the return could range from -10% to +22%.

This variability in returns can be quantified by computing the Variance or Standard Deviation in investment returns.

7-‹#›

Measuring Risk (cont.)

Variance is the average squared difference between the individual realized returns and the expected return.

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance and is more commonly used to quantify risk.

7-‹#›

Calculating the Variance and Standard Deviation of the Rate of Return on an Investment

Assume two possible investment alternatives:

U.S. Treasury Bill – U.S. Treasury bill is considered risk-free as there is no risk of default on the promised payments of 5%.

Common stock of the Ace Publishing Company – An investment in common stock will be a risky investment.

7-‹#›

Calculating the Variance and Standard Deviation of the Rate of Return on an Investment (cont.)

The probability distribution of an investment’s return contains all possible rates of return from the investment along with the associated probabilities for each outcome.

7-‹#›

Figure 7-1 Probability Distribution of Returns for a Treasury Bill and the Common Stock of the Ace Publishing Company

7-‹#›

Calculating the Variance and Standard Deviation of the Rate of Return on an Investment (cont.)

The probability distribution for Treasury bill is a single spike at 5% rate of return indicating that there is 100% probability that you will earn 5%.

The returns for Ace Publishing company range from a low of -10% to a high of +40%. Thus the common stock investment is risky, whereas the Treasury bill is not.

7-‹#›

Calculating the Variance and Standard Deviation of the Rate of Return on an Investment (cont.)

Using equation 7-3, expected return on the stock is 15% while the expected return on Treasury bill is 5%.

Does the higher return of stock make it a better investment? Not necessarily, we also need to know the risk in both the investments.

Calculating the Variance and Standard Deviation of the Rate of Return on an Investment (cont.)

We observe that the common stock offers a higher expected return but also entails more risk, as measured by standard deviation. An investor’s choice of a specific investment will be determined by their attitude toward risk.

Investment Expected Return Standard Deviation
Treasury Bill 5% 0%
Common Stock 15% 12.85%

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

We can use Equation 7-3 to measure its expected return and Equation 7-5 to measure its standard deviation.

Step 3: Solve

Calculating Expected Return

E(r) = (-20%×.10) + (0%×.2) + (15%×.4) + (40%×.2) + (50%×.1)

= .1830 or 18.30%

7-‹#›

Step 4:Analyze

The expected return for this investments is 15%.

However, it is a risky investment as the returns can range from a low of -20% to a high of 50%. Standard deviation, a measure of the average dispersion of the investment returns, captures this risk and is equal to 18.30%.

7-‹#›

A Brief History of the Financial Markets

Investors have historically earned higher rates of return on riskier investments. However, having a higher expected rate of return simply means that investors “expect” to realize a higher return. Higher return is not guaranteed.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

We need to calculate the arithmetic and geometric average. The arithmetic average fails to capture the effect of compound interest, which can be measured by geometric average.

7-‹#›

Step 3: Solve

Calculate the Arithmetic Average

Arithmetic Average

= Sum of the annual rates of return ÷ Number of years

= 45% ÷ 5 = 9%

Based on past performance of the stock, Mary should expect that it would earn 9% next year.

7-‹#›

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

Calculate the Geometric Average

Geometric Average = [(1+Ryear1) × (1+Ryear 2 ) × (1+Ryear3) × (1+Ryear4) × (1+Ryear5) ]1/5 - 1

= [(.85) × (1.15) × (1.25) × (1.30) × (.90)] 1/5 - 1

= 7.41%

7-‹#›

Step 4: Analyze

The arithmetic average is 9% while the geometric average is 7.41%. The geometric average is lower as it incorporates compounding of interest.

Both of these averages are useful and meaningful but in answering two very different questions.

7-‹#›

Step 4: Analyze (cont.)

The arithmetic average answers the question, what rate of return Mary can expect from her investment next year assuming all else remains the same as in the past?

The geometric average answers the question, what rate of return Mary can expect over a five-year period?

7-‹#›

What Determines Stock Prices?

In general, stock prices tend to go up when there is good news about future profits, and they go down when there is bad news about future profits. Stock price movements are also affected by speculation or investor sentiment.

7-‹#›

The Efficient Market Hypothesis

The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) states that securities prices accurately reflect future expected cash flows and are based on all information available to investors.

An efficient market is a market in which all the available information is fully incorporated into the prices of the securities and the returns the investors earn on their investments cannot be predicted.

7-‹#›

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (cont.)

The weak-form efficient market hypothesis

The semi-strong form efficient market hypothesis

The strong-form efficient market hypothesis

7-‹#›

Do We Expect Financial Markets To Be Perfectly Efficient?

In general, markets are expected to be at least weak-form and semi-strong form efficient.

If there did exist simple profitable strategies, then the strategies would attract the attention of investors, who by implementing their strategies would compete away the profits.

7-‹#›

The Behavioral View

Efficient market hypothesis is based on the assumption that investors, as a group, are rational. This view has been challenged.

If investors do not rationally process information, then markets may not accurately reflect even public information.

7-‹#›

The Behavioral View (cont.)

For example, overconfident investors may under react when management announces earnings as they have too much confidence in their own views of the company’s true value and place little weight on new information released by management. As a result, this new information, even though it is publicly and freely available, is not completely reflected in stock prices.

7-‹#›

Market Efficiency: What does the Evidence Show?

Historically, there has been some evidence of inefficiencies in the financial markets. Most of the evidence of market inefficiency can be summarized by three observations found in Table 7.4.

7-‹#›

Table 7-4 Summarizing the Evidence of Anomalies to the Efficient Market Hypothesis

7-‹#›

Market Efficiency – What does the Evidence Show? (cont.)

If equity markets are inefficient it means that investors can earn returns that are greater than the risk of their investment by taking advantage of mispricing in the market. More recent evidence suggests that strategies that exploit these patterns have been quite risky and have not been successful after 2000.

7-‹#›

Market Efficiency – What does the Evidence Show? (cont.)

The initial success and eventual demise of strategies using these patterns shows that once the pattern is known, investors will trade aggressively on these patterns and thereby eliminate the inefficiencies. Thus financial markets are likely to be efficient, at least in the semi-strong form.

Calculating the Expected Return of a Portfolio (cont.)

E(rportfolio) = the expected rate of return on a portfolio of n assets.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

The portfolio expected rate of return is simply a weighted average of the expected rates of return of the investments in the portfolio.

We can use equation 8-1 to calculate the expected rate of return for Penny’s portfolio.

8-‹#›

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy (cont.)

We have to fill in the third column (Product) to calculate the weighted average.

We can also use equation 8-1 to solve the problem.

Portfolio E(Return) X Weight = Product
Treasury bills 4.0% .25
EMR stock 8.0% .25
SBUX stock 12.0% .50

8-‹#›

Step 3: Solve

E(rportfolio) = .25 × .04 + .25 × .08 + .50 × .12

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

Portfolio E(Return) X Weight = Product
Treasury bills 4.0% .25 1%
EMR stock 8.0% .25 2%
SBUX stock 12.0% .50 6%
Expected Return on Portfolio 9%

Alternatively, we can fill out the following table from step 2 to get the same result.

8-‹#›

Step 4: Analyze

The expected return is 9% for a portfolio composed of 25% each in treasury bills and Emerson Electric stock and 50% in Starbucks. If we change the percentage invested in each asset, it will result in a change in the expected return for the portfolio.

8-‹#›

Evaluating Portfolio Risk: Portfolio Diversification

The effect of reducing risks by including a large number of investments in a portfolio is called diversification.

The diversification gains achieved will depend on the degree of correlation among the investments, measured by correlation coefficient.

8-‹#›

Portfolio Diversification (cont.)

The correlation coefficient can range from -1.0 (perfect negative correlation), meaning that two variables move in perfectly opposite directions to +1.0 (perfect positive correlation). Lower the correlation, greater will be the diversification benefits.

8-‹#›

Diversification Lessons

A portfolio can be less risky than the average risk of its individual investments in the portfolio.

The key to reducing risk through diversification - combine investments whose returns are not perfectly positively correlated.

= √ {.0385}

= .1962 or 19.62%

8-‹#›

Step 4: Analyze

A simple weighted average of the standard deviation of the two funds would have resulted in a standard deviation of 25% (20 x .5 + 30 x .5) for the portfolio.

However, the standard deviation of the portfolio is less than 25% (19.62%) because of the diversification benefits (with correlation being less than 1).

Systematic Risk and Market Portfolio

According to the CAPM, the relevant risk of an investment relates to how the investment contributes to the risk of this market portfolio.

CAPM assumes that investors chose to hold the optimally diversified portfolio that includes all of the economy’s assets (referred to as the market portfolio).

8-‹#›

Systematic Risk and Market Portfolio (cont.)

To understand how an investment contributes to the risk of the portfolio, we categorize the risks of the individual investments into two categories:

Systematic risk, and

Unsystematic risk

8-‹#›

Systematic Risk and Market Portfolio (cont.)

The systematic risk component measures the contribution of the investment to the risk of the market portfolio. For example: War, recession.

The unsystematic risk is the element of risk that does not contribute to the risk of the market and is diversified away. For example: Product recall, labor strike, change of management.

8-‹#›

Diversification and Unsystematic Risk

Figure 8-2 illustrates that, as the number of securities in a portfolio increases, the contribution of the unsystematic risk to the standard deviation of the portfolio declines while the systematic risk is not reduced. Thus large portfolios will not be affected by unsystematic risk.

8-‹#›

Figure 8.2 Portfolio Risk and the Number of Investments in the Portfolio

8-‹#›

Systematic Risk and Beta

Systematic risk is measured by beta coefficient, which estimates the extent to which a particular investment’s returns vary with the returns on the market portfolio. In practice, it is estimated as the slope of a straight line (see figure 8-3).

Beta

Table 8-1 illustrates the wide variation in Betas for various companies. Utilities companies can be considered less risky because of their lower betas. For example, based on the beta estimates, a 1% drop in market could lead to a .74% drop in AEP but a much greater 2.9% drop in AAPL.

8-‹#›

Table 8.1 Beta Coefficients for Selected Companies

8-‹#›

Calculating Portfolio Beta

The portfolio beta measures the systematic risk of the portfolio.

8-‹#›

Calculating Portfolio Beta (cont.)

Example Consider a portfolio that is comprised of four investments with betas equal to 1.50, 0.75, 1.80 and 0.60 respectively. If you invest equal amount in each investment, what will be the beta for the portfolio?

= .25(1.50) + .25(0.75) + .25(1.80) + .25 (0.60)

= 1.16

8-‹#›

The Security Market Line and the CAPM

CAPM describes how the betas relate to the expected rates of return. Investors will require a higher rate of return on investments with higher betas.

Figure 8-4 provides the expected returns and betas for portfolios comprised of market portfolio and risk-free asset.

The Security Market Line and the CAPM (cont.)

The straight line relationship between the betas and expected returns in Figure 8-4 is called the security market line (SML), and its slope is often referred to as the reward to risk ratio.

8-‹#›

The Security Market Line and the CAPM (cont.)

SML is a graphical representation of the CAPM.

SML can be expressed as the following equation, which is often referred to as the CAPM pricing equation:

8-‹#›

Using the CAPM to Estimate the Expected Rate of Return

Equation 8-6 implies that higher the systematic risk of an investment, other things remaining the same, the higher will be the expected rate of return an investor would require to invest in the asset.

CHECKPOINT 8.3: CHECK YOURSELF

Estimating the Expected Rate of Return Using the CAPM

Estimate the expected rates of return for the three utility companies, found in Table 8-1, using the 4.5% risk-free rate and market risk premium of 6%.

Expected Return

Step 1: Picture the Problem

The graph shows that as beta increases, the expected return also increases. When beta = 0, the expected return is equal to the risk free rate of 4.5%.

8-‹#›

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

We can determine the required rate of return by using CAPM equation 8-6. The betas for the three utilities companies (Yahoo Finance estimates) are: AEP = 0.74, DUK = 0.40, CNP = 0.82

8-‹#›

Step 3: Solve

Beta (AEP) = 4.5% + 0.74(6) = 8.94%

Beta (DUK) = 4.5% + 0.40(6) = 6.9%

Beta (CNP) = 4.5% + 0.82(6) = 9.42%

Principles Applied in This Chapter

  • Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value.

  • Principle 2: There is a Risk-Return Tradeoff.
  • Principle 3: Cash Flows Are the Source of Value

9-*

Corporate Borrowings

  • There are two main sources of borrowing for a corporation:

Loan from a financial institution (known as private debt since it involves only two parties)

Bonds (known as public debt since they can be traded in the public financial markets)

9-*

Borrowing Money in the Private Financial Market

Financial Institutions provide loans to finance firm’s day-to-day operations (working capital loans) or it might be used for the purchase of equipment or property (transaction loans). Loans may or may not be secured by a collateral.

9-*

Borrowing Money in the Private Financial Market (cont.)

  • Advantages of Private Debt Placement
  • Speed
  • Reduced costs
  • Financing flexibility
  • Disadvantages of Private Debt Placement
  • Interest costs
  • Restrictive covenants
  • The possibility of future SEC registration

9-*

Floating-Rate Loans

In the private financial market, loans are typically floating rate loans i.e. the interest rate is adjusted based on a specific benchmark rate. The most popular benchmark rate is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), rate at which banks offer to lend in the London wholesale or interbank market

9-*

Floating-Rate Loans (cont.)

For example, a corporation may get a 1-year loan with a rate of 300 basis points (or 3%) over LIBOR with a ceiling of 11% and a floor of 4%.

9-*

Table 9-1 Types of Bank Debt

9-*

CHECKPOINT 9.1:
CHECK YOURSELF

Calculating the Rate of Interest on a
Floating-Rate Loan

Consider the same loan period as above but change the spread over LIBOR from .25% to .75%. Is the ceiling rate or floor rate violated during the loan period?

9-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

  • The graph on the next slide shows the LIBOR index (series 1), LIBOR plus the spread of 75 basis points (series 2), the ceiling rate (series 3), and the floor rate (series 4).

9-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem (cont.)

9-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

  • We have to determine the floating rate for every week and see if it exceeds the ceiling or falls below the floor.
  • Floating rate on Loan

= LIBOR for the previous week + spread of .75%

9-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

The floating rate on loan cannot exceed the ceiling rate of 2.5% or drop below the floor rate of 1.75%.

  • If the floating rate falls below the floor, the rate will be reset at the floor rate.
  • If the floating rate exceeds the ceiling, the rate will be reset at the ceiling rate.

9-*

Step 3: Solve

Ceiling

Violated

LIBOR LIBOR + Spread (.75%) Loan Rate
2/29/2008 1.98%
3/7/2008 1.66% 2.73% 2.50%
3/14/2008 1.52% 2.44% 2.41%
3/21/2008 1.35% 2.27% 2.27%
3/28/2008 1.60% 2.10% 2.10%
4/4/2008 1.63% 2.35% 2.35%
4/11/2008 1.67% 2.38% 2.38%
4/18/2008 1.88% 2.42% 2.42%
4/25/2008 1.93% 2.63% 2.50%
5/2/2008 2.68% 2.50%

9-*

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

The table shows the ceiling is violated during the first week and last two weeks of the loan period. The floor rate is never violated.

9-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • The ceiling is the maximum rate charged on the loan while floor is the minimum rate charged on the loan. If the ceiling or floor rates are violated, the loan rate is reset to the ceiling rate or the floor rate.
  • If there were no ceiling, the loan rate would have been 2.73% during the first week of the loan, and 2.63% and 2.68% during the last two weeks of the loan.

9-*

Borrowing Money in the Public Financial Market

Corporations engage the services of an investment banker while raising long-term funds in the public financial market. The investment banker performs three basic functions:

  • Underwriting: assuming risk of selling a security issued. The client is given the money before the securities are sold to the public.
  • Distributing
  • Advising

9-*

Corporate Bonds

  • Corporate bond is a debt security issued by corporation that has promised future payments and a maturity date.
  • If the firm fails to pay the promised future payments of interest and principal, the bond trustee can classify the firm as insolvent and force the firm into bankruptcy.

9-*

Basic Bond Features

  • The basic features of a bond include the following:
  • Bond indenture
  • Claims on assets and income
  • Par or face value
  • Coupon interest rate
  • Maturity and repayment of principal
  • Call provision and conversion features

9-*

Bond Ratings and Default Risk

Bond ratings indicate the default risk i.e. the probability that the firm will make the bond’s promised payments. Rating agencies use borrower’s financial statements, financing mix, profitability, variability of past profits, and make judgments about the quality of the firm’s management in order to determine ratings.

9-*

Table 9.3 Interpreting Bond Ratings

9-*

Valuing Corporate Debt

The value of corporate debt is equal to the present value of the contractually promised principal and interest payments (the cash flows) discounted back to the present using the market’s required yield to maturity on similar risk.

9-*

Table 9.2 Bond Terminology

9-*

Valuing Bonds by Discounting Future Cash Flows

Step 1: Determine bondholder cash flows, which are the the amount and timing of the bond’s promised interest and principal payments to the bondholders.

  • Annual Interest = Par value × coupon rate
  • Example 9.1: The annual interest for a 10-year bond with coupon interest rate of 7% and a par value of $1,000 is equal to $70, (.07 × $1,000 = $70). This bond will pay $70 every year and $1,000 at the end of 10-years.

*

9-*

Valuing Bonds by Discounting Future Cash Flows (cont.)

Step 2: Estimate the appropriate discount rate on a bond of similar risk. Discount rate is the return the bond will yield if it is held to maturity and all bond payments are made.

9-*

Valuing Bonds by Discounting Future Cash Flows (cont.)

Step 3: Calculate the present value of the bond’s interest and principal payments from Step 1 using the discount rate in step 2.

9-*

Calculating a Bond’s Yield to Maturity (YTM)

We can think of YTM as the discount rate that makes the present value of the bond’s promised interest and principal equal to the bond’s observed market price.

9-*

CHECKPOINT 9.2:
CHECK YOURSELF

Calculating the Yield to Maturity on a Corporate Bond

Calculate the YTM on the Ford bond where the bond price rises to $900 (holding all other things equal).

9-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

YTM=?

Years

Cash flow -$900 $65 $65 $65 $1,065

  • Purchase price = $900
  • Interest payments = $65 per year for years 1-11
  • Final payment = $1,000 in year 11 of principal.

3 …

11

9-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy

We can use equation 9-2a to find YTM. YTM is the rate that makes the present value of all future expected cash flows equal to the current market price. We can also solve for YTM using a calculator and a spreadsheet.

9-*

Step 3: Solve

Using a Mathematical Equation

  • It is cumbersome to solve for YTM by hand using the equation. It is more practical to use the financial calculator or the spread sheet.

9-*

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

Using a Financial Calculator

N = 11

I/Y = 7.89

PV = -900

PMT = 65

FV = 1,000

Using an Excel Spreadsheet

= RATE(nper, pmt,pv,fv)

= RATE (11,65,-900,1000)

= 7.89%

9-*

Step 4: Analyze

The yield to maturity on the bond is 7.89%. The yield is higher than the coupon rate of interest of 6.5%. Since the coupon rate is lower than the yield to maturity, the bond is trading at a price below $1,000. We call this a discount bond.

9-*

Using Market-Yield-to-Maturity Data

Market-yield-to-maturity data is regularly reported by a number of investor services and is quoted in terms of credit spreads or spreads to Treasury bonds. Table 9-4 contains some examples of spreads.

9-*

Table 9-4 Corporate Bond Spread Tables

9-*

Using Market Yield to Maturity Data (cont.)

  • The spread values reported in table 9-4 represent basis points over a US Treasury security of the same maturity as the corporate bond.
  • For example, a 30-year Ba1/BB+ corporate bond has a spread of 275 basis points over a similar 30-year US Treasury bond.
  • Thus this corporate bond should earn 2.75% over the 4.56% earned on treasury yield or 7.31%.

9-*

Promised versus
Expected Yield to Maturity

The yield to maturity calculation assumes that the bond performs according to the terms of the bond contract or indenture. Since corporate bonds are subject to risk of default, the promised yield to maturity may not be equal to expected yield to maturity.

9-*

Promised versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)

  • Example Consider a one-year bond that promises a coupon rate of 8% and has a principal (par value) of $1,000. Further assume the bond is currently trading for $850. What is the promised yield to maturity?

9-*

Promised versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)

Promised YTM

= {(Interest year 1 + Principal) ÷ (Bond Value)} – 1

= {($80+$1,000) ÷ ($850)} – 1

= 27.06%

9-*

Promised versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)

The yield of 27.06% is based on the assumption of no default. Assume there is a 40% probability of default on this bond and if the bond defaults, the bondholders will receive only 60% of the principal and interest owed. What is the expected YTM on this bond?

9-*

Promised versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)

YTMdefault

= {(Interest year 1 + Principal)} ÷ (Bond Value)} – 1

= {($80+$1000) × .60} ÷ ($850)} – 1

= -23.76%

9-*

Promised versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)

= (27.06 × .60) + (-23.76 × .40)

= 6.73%

The financial press quotes promised yield and not expected YTM.

  • We can use the above information to determine the value of the bond by discounting future interest and principal payment to the present.

9-*

Step 3: Solve

Using a Mathematical Formula

= $ 85{[1-(1/(1.09)20] ÷ (.20)} + $1,000/(1.09)20

Using an Excel Spreadsheet

= PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

= PV (.09,20,85,1000)

= $954.36

9-*

Step 4: Analyze

  • The value of AT&T bond falls to $954.36 when the yield to maturity rises to 9%. The bonds are now trading at a discount as the coupon rate on AT&T bonds is lower than the market yield.
  • An investor who buys AT&T bonds at its current discounted price will earn a promised yield to maturity of 9%.

  • Second Relationship: The market value of a bond will be less than the par value (discount bond) if the market’s required yield to maturity is above the coupon interest rate and will be valued above par value (premium bond) if the market’s required yield to maturity is below the coupon interest rate.

9-*

Bond Valuation: Four Key Relationships (cont.)

  • Third Relationship As the maturity date approaches, the market value of a bond approaches its par value. That’s because at maturity the bond will be taken away and the investor will receive the par value of the bond.

Fourth Relationship Long term bonds have greater interest-rate risk than short-term bonds.

  • While all bonds are affected by a change in interest rates, the prices of longer-term bonds fluctuate more when interest rates change than do the prices of shorter-term bonds (see Table 9.6)

9-*

Table 9-7 Types of Corporate Bonds

Determinants of Interest Rates

As we observed earlier, bond prices vary inversely with interest rates. Therefore in order to understand how bond prices fluctuate, we need to know the determinants of interest rates.

9-*

Inflation and Real versus Nominal Interest Rates

  • Quotes of interest rates in the financial press are commonly referred to as the nominal (or quoted) interest rates. Real rate of interest adjusts for the effects of inflation.
  • Real Rate of Interest (approximation)

≈ Nominal interest rate – Inflation premium

9-*

Fisher Effect: The Nominal and Real Rate of Interest

  • The relationship between the nominal rate of interest, rnominal , the anticipated rate of inflation, rinflation , and the real rate of interest is known as the Fisher effect.

9-*

CHECKPOINT 9.5:
CHECK YOURSELF

Solving for the Real Rate of Interest

Assume now that you expect that inflation will be 5% over the coming year and want to analyze how much better off you will be if you place your savings in an account that also earns just 5%. What is the real rate of return in this circumstance?

9-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

  • Let us assume that the prices of goods and services today is $1.00 per unit.
  • With a 5% inflation, these goods and services will cost $1.05.
  • Thus, $10,500 expected in the savings account at the end of the year will buy you only 10,000 units (10,500/1.05) at the end of the year.

9-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem (cont.)

Purchasing Power (units) 10,000.00 10,000.00

9-*

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy
Step 3: Solve

We can estimate the real rate of interest by using equation 9-4b.

rreal = {(1+.05) ÷ (1+.05)} – 1 = 0%

9-*

Step 4: Analyze

Here the nominal rate of interest is equal to the expected rate of inflation. Therefore, the real rate of return is equal to zero i.e. there is no increase in purchasing power from investing the savings at 5%.

Solving for the Nominal Rate of Interest

If you anticipate that the rate of inflation will now be 4% next year, holding all else the same, what rate of return will you need to earn on your savings in order to achieve a 2% increase in purchasing power?

9-*

Step 1: Picture the Problem

  • Let us assume that the prices of goods and services today is $1.00 per unit.
  • If the expected rate of inflation is 4% and you want to be able to purchase 2% more, you will need to earn a nominal rate of interest on your savings that will allow you to buy 10,200 units at $1.04 each.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy
Step 3: Solve

We can use the Fisher model found in equation 9-4a to determine the nominal rate of interest.

rnom=.02 + .04 + (.02 × .04) = .0608 or 6.08%

9-*

Step 4: Analyze

In order to achieve a 2% increase in purchasing power in the face of a 4% rate of inflation, you must earn a 6.08% rate on your savings.

Interest-Rate Determinants – Breaking It Down

The nominal return or interest rate on a note or bond can be thought of including five basic components:

9-*

Interest Rate Determinants (cont.)

  • The inflation premium
  • Default–risk premium
  • Maturity-risk premium
  • Liquidity-risk premium

9-*


The Maturity-Risk Premium and the Term Structure of Interest Rates

  • The relationship between interest rates and time to maturity with risk held constant is known as the term structure of interest rates or the yield curve.
  • Figure 9-3 illustrates a hypothetical term structure of U.S. Treasury Bonds.

9-*

Figure 9-3 The Term Structure of Interest Rates or Yield Curve

9-*

The Shape of the Yield Curve

By reviewing equation 9-5, we can gain insight into the shape of the yield curve for US Treasuries. Since there is no default risk or liquidity risk and the real-risk free rate of interest is unlikely to change, the shape of the yield curve is driven by inflation premium and maturity risk premium.

9-*

The Shape of the Yield Curve (cont.)

During periods when inflation is expected to subside, the inflation premium should decrease over longer maturities, resulting in a downward sloping Treasury yield curve as shown in Figure 9.5. The reverse is also true as shown in Figure 9.4

9-*

Figure 9.4 Treasury Yield Curve during Period of Increasing Inflation

Shifts in the Yield Curve

  • The yield curve changes over time as expectations regarding each of the four factors that underlie interest rates change.
  • Figure 9-6 shows the yield curve one day before 911 attack and again two weeks later. Investors shifted their funds to the safety of Treasuries, pushing up the prices and bringing down the yields.
