©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-2 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Various Interest Rate Measures Coupon rate –periodic cash flow a bond issuer contractually promises to pay a bond holder Required rate of return (rrr) –rates used by individual market participants to calculate fair present values (PV) Expected rate of return (Err) –rates participants would earn by buying securities at current market prices (P) Realized rate of return (rr) –rates actually earned on investments Coupon rate –periodic cash flow a bond issuer contractually promises to pay a bond holder Required rate of return (rrr) –rates used by individual market participants to calculate fair present values (PV) Expected rate of return (Err) –rates participants would earn by buying securities at current market prices (P) Realized rate of return (rr) –rates actually earned on investments

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-3 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Required Rate of Return The fair present value (PV) of a security is determined using the required rate of return (rrr) as the discount rate CF 1 = cash flow in period t (t = 1, …, n) ~ = indicates the projected cash flow is uncertain n = number of periods in the investment horizon The fair present value (PV) of a security is determined using the required rate of return (rrr) as the discount rate CF 1 = cash flow in period t (t = 1, …, n) ~ = indicates the projected cash flow is uncertain n = number of periods in the investment horizon

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-4 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Expected Rate of Return The current market price (P) of a security is determined using the expected rate of return (Err) as the discount rate CF 1 = cash flow in period t (t = 1, …, n) ~ = indicates the projected cash flow is uncertain n = number of periods in the investment horizon The current market price (P) of a security is determined using the expected rate of return (Err) as the discount rate CF 1 = cash flow in period t (t = 1, …, n) ~ = indicates the projected cash flow is uncertain n = number of periods in the investment horizon

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-5 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Realized Rate of Return The realized rate of return (rr) is the discount rate that just equates the actual purchase price ( ) to the present value of the realized cash flows (RCF t ) t (t = 1, …, n)

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-6 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE A bond you purchased 2 years ago for $890 is now selling for $925. Coupon payment is $100 per year. You intend to hold the bond for 4 more years and project that you will be able to sell it at the end of year 4 for $960. You also project that the bond will continue paying $100 in interest per year. Given the risk associated with the bond required rate of return is 11.25%. What is its Fair Value? Expected rate of return? Realized rate of return?

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-7 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Bond Valuation The present value of a bond (V b ) can be written as: M = the par value of the bond INT = the annual interest (or coupon) payment T = the number of years until the bond matures i = the annual interest rate (often called yield to maturity (ytm)) The present value of a bond (V b ) can be written as: M = the par value of the bond INT = the annual interest (or coupon) payment T = the number of years until the bond matures i = the annual interest rate (often called yield to maturity (ytm))

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-8 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE A bond with a face value of $1000 pays 10%coupon interest rate. Coupon payments are made semiannually. The bond matures in 12 years. If the required rate of return (rrr) is 8%, what is the market value of the bond? What if rrr is 10% What if rrr is 12%

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-9 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Bond Valuation A premium bond has a coupon rate (INT) greater then the required rate of return (rrr) and the fair present value of the bond (V b ) is greater than the face value (M) Discount bond: if INT < rrr, then V b < M Par bond: if INT = rrr, then V b = M A premium bond has a coupon rate (INT) greater then the required rate of return (rrr) and the fair present value of the bond (V b ) is greater than the face value (M) Discount bond: if INT < rrr, then V b < M Par bond: if INT = rrr, then V b = M

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Yield to Maturity It is the yield (return) the bondholder will earn on the bond if he or she buys it at its current market price, receives all coupon payments and holds the bond until maturity.

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-11 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE You purchase bond with $1000 face value that pay 11% coupon interest per year. Coupons are paid semiannually. The bond matures in 15 years. If the current market prce of the bond is $931.76

Even if the equity holder does not want to hold it forever, he or she can sell it to someone. D t = Dividend paid out at he end of year t P t = Price of the common stock at he end of year t P 0 = Current price İ s = Interest rate used to discount the cash flows

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-13 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE Suppose you owned a stock for 2 years. You originally bought the stock two years ago for $15 and just sold it for $35. The stock paid an annual dividend of $1 on the last day of each of the past two years. What is the raealized rate of return (rr) on the stock?

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-14 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE You are considering to purchase the stock that you expect to own for the next 3 years. The current market price is $32 and you expect to sell it for $45 in three years’ time. You also expect the stock to pay an annual dividend of $1.50 on the last day of each of the next 3 years. Calculate the expected rate of return (Err)?

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-15 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Equity Valuation Zero-growth dividends: The present value of a stock (P t ) assuming zero growth in dividends can be written as: D = dividend paid at end of every year P t = the stock’s price at the end of year t i s = the interest rate used to discount future cash flows Zero-growth dividends: The present value of a stock (P t ) assuming zero growth in dividends can be written as: D = dividend paid at end of every year P t = the stock’s price at the end of year t i s = the interest rate used to discount future cash flows

Dividends have grown at a constant rate of 1.75 over the last 15 years. And this growth rate is expected to continue into the future. The stock is currently selling for $52 per share. What is the expected rate of return?

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-22 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Equity Valuation Supernormal or Non-constant Growth in Dividends: Firms ofteh experience periods of supernormal or non-constnt dividend growth. Dividends during the periods of supernormal must be evaluated individually.

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-23 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Equity Valuation Step 1: Find the PV of dividends during the supernormal period. Step 2: Find the price of the stock at the end of the supernormal growth using constant growth model. Step 3: Add the two components of the stock price together.

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-24 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE A stock is expected to experience supernormal growth in dividends of 10% over the next 5 years. Following this period, dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4%. The stock is paid a dividend of $4 last year and the required rate of return is 15%. Calculate the fair value of the stock.

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-44 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE 4 year bond, $1000 face value with 10% coupon paid semiannually and a 8% yield. D= 3.42 years Current price = $ at 8% yield. What will be the bond value if yield increase from 8% to 10% according to the duration model? What will be the exact change in price after yield increase to 10%

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-45 McGraw-Hill/Irwin EXAMPLE What will be the bond value if yield decrease from 8% to 6% according to the duration model? What will be the exact change in price after yield decrease to 6%

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-46 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Convexity Imp. Question for investors and FI is whether the error in the duration equation is big enough to be concerned about. It depends on the size of interest rate change and size of their portfolios. High convexity means that for equally large changes of int. rates, (up and down 2%), the capital gain effect of a rate decrease is more than the capital loss effect of a rate increase.

©2009, The McGraw-Hill Companies, All Rights Reserved 3-47 McGraw-Hill/Irwin 1) Convexity is desirable. 2) Convexity diminishes the error in duration. 3) All-fixed income securities are convex.
