Q

*** What is a bond?

A
  • a (better/another) long-term debt instrument in which a borrower gets to make payments of principal and interest, on specific dates, to the holders of the bond

*** What is the par value or face value?

A
  • the amount a bond sells for when it is first issued

Q

*** What are bond payments or coupons?

A
  • Periodic interest payments to be made while the bond is outstanding

Q

What is interest rate risk (price risk)?

A
  • risk associated with price fluctuations caused by interest rate changes
  • price of bonds is inversely related to changes in interest rates
    – if a bond is held to maturity, the interest rate risk is irrelevant
    – the longer the term of the bond (term until maturity) , the higher the risk
    – lower-coupon bonds have greater interest rate risk

Q

What is reinvestment rate risk?

A
  • the risk that the market rate will be lower compared to what it once was when you actually go to reinvest the principle or coupon payments
  • to earn the yield to maturity, the coupons must be reinvested at the same yield to maturity. if this is not achieved, final yield will be different

51
Q

What is the third relationship?

52
Q

What is the fourth relationship?
- four key relationships

A
  • long term bonds (especially zero-coupon bonds) have greater interest rate risk than short term bonds
53
Q

*** How do you calculate the realized return or realized cash return from an investment?

A

you measure the gain or loss on an invest

  • cash return = ending price + cash distribution (dividend) -

beginning price

  • % rate of return = cash return / beginning price
54
Q

*** You invested in one share of Apple for $95 and sold a year later for $200. The company did not pay any dividends during that period. What will be the cash return on this investment?

A

$105
ending price - beginning price

55
Q

*** Calculate the rate of return (table example)
- solve for *

A

Company, Beginning Price, Ending Price, Cash (dividend), Return in $, Rate of Return

Duke Energy
16.38
15.82
1.16
*(return in $) = 15.82 + 1.16 - 16.38 = (0.6)
*(rate of return) = 0.6 / 16.38 = (3.66%)

Sears Holdings
57.74
67.86
0.00
*(return in $) = 67.86 - 57.76 = (10.12)
(rate of return) (given) = 10.12 / 57.74 = (17.53)

Walmart
55.81
49.68
1.06
(return in $) (given) = 49.68 + 1.06 - 55.81 = (-5.07)
*(rate of return) = -5.07 / 55.81 = (-9%)

56
Q

What is investor’s intuition?

A
  • investors prefer money now compared to money in the future due to the time value of money
  • investors don’t like risk (risk adversion)
    – they require compensation for taking risks in the form of higher expected return

– example)) when professor lost 50 grand

57
Q

*** What is risk?

A
  • the probability of dispersion of events
    – no dispersion = no risk
    – greater dispersion = greater risk
  • casinos (roulette and blackjack, 49.5%)
58

    a standardized measure of dispersion about the expected value, that shows the risk per unit of return
    tandard deviation / expected return
64
Q

- formula

A

r = r* + IP + DRP + LP + MRP

  • r = required return on a debt security
  • r* = the real risk free rate of interest
  • IP = inflation premium
  • DRP = default risk premium
  • LP = liquidity premium
  • MRP maturity risk premium
65
Q

*** The risk and return of portfolios

A

expected return - a weighted average of the returns of the portfolios component assets

weight x expected return, then add them together

67
Q

What is diversification?

A
  • adding negatively correlated stocks to a portfolio in order to achieve maximum diversification benefits
  • uncorrelated portfolios offer the most diversification
68
Q

*** What is the portfolio diversification correlation coefficient range?

+1.0 (perfect positive relationship) - two variables move perfectly in the same direction

  • lower the correlation, the greater the diversification benefits
69
Q

What is stand alone risk or unsystematic risk?

A
  • firm specific risk that can be diversified away
70
Q

What is systematic risk or market risk?

A
  • cannot be diversified away
  • a widespread macroeconomic event
  • different assets may be affected differently (COVID)
71
Q

*** What is beta?

A

measures the stock’s sensitivity to the market or systematic risk
- measures a stocks market risk

if beta = 1.0, the security is just as risky as the average stock
if beta > 1.0, the security risk is above the average stock
if beta < 1.0, the security risk is less than the average stock
- most stocks have betas in range of 0.5 - 1.5

72
Q

What is the capital asset pricing model? (CAPM)
- also include formula

A

tells us what the required rate of return should be for investors, given what the beta or systematic risk is for a particular investment
- risk free rate + (return on market - risk free rate) x beta

73
Q

*** What is the correlation coefficient?

A

the degree by which we are adding correlation
- negative is good

74
Q

*** What is the risk of portfolios?

A

portfolio can be more or less risky after adding stocks to it
- two risky stocks are less risky together
- two positively correlated stocks are too much alike, and can be combustible

75

  • monitoring by the board of directors (oversee management and make sure they are doing their job)
  • monitoring by financial markets (such as auditors, bankers, security analysts, credit agencies)
79
Q

What are the stockholder bondholder conflicts?

A

stockholders prefer risk because riskier projects are what makes the company grow

bondholders prefer to limit risk to make sure the company does not default on payments, they want safety and security
- very concerned with the use of additional debt
- prefer to protect themselves through bond covenants that limit the use of additional debt to ensure the other debts are paid off

80
Q

What are shareholder interests and societal interests?

A

the primary financial goal of the management is to create value for the shareholders, accomplished by maximizing stock price

managers realize that being socially responsible is not inconsistent with maximizing shareholder value

85
Q

*** Investor value example. You currently own 1000 shares of stock worth $35 per share. The company has 18,000 shares outstanding.
- What is the current value of your market investment?
- What is the company’s total market value?
- Suppose the company adds 2,000 more shares at $30 per share. What is the new value of the stock to you?

A
  • (1000 x 35) = 35,000
  • (18000 x 35) = 630,000
  • (18000 x 35) = 630000
    (2000 x 30) = 60000
    630000 + 60000 = 690000
    690000/20000 = 34.5

Rf + B (Rm - Rf)

Rf = risk free rate
Rm = market return
B = beta

94
Q

*** Use the Cap M model to calculate the required rate of return.
- if the risk free rate is 3%, the return on the market is 8%, and beta is 1.2, what is the required rate of return on the stock?

A

3% + 1.2 x (8% - 3%) = 9%

95
Q

What are the two key determinants for growth rate?

A

return on equity (ROE) - how much is the company making by reinvesting its earnings back into the company?

the retention ratio - the amount of a firms earnings that is reinvested in the company versus payout in dividends

96
Q

What are the model assumptions?

A
  • dividends grow at a constant rate to infinity (not true, they do not)
  • the growth rate must be less than the required rate of return (true because the denominator would be zero or negative)
  • model can be used for negative growth or no growth stocks
97
Q

*** dividend discount model example.

  • what is the value of a share of a common stock that paid $6 dividend at the end of last year and is expected to pay a cash dividend at the end of every year from now to infinity, with that dividend growing at a rate of 5% per year, if the investors required rate of return is 12% on that stock?
  • calculate dividends in period one.
  • what if the growth rate is zero? (d1/r)
A

6 x 1.05 = 6.3

6.3 / (0.12 - 0.05) = 90

6 / .12 = 50

98
Q

*** non-constant growth example

Consider a firm that just paid a dividend of $2.75 per share. The company expects growth in the coming year to be 15%. After this first year, the firm expects dividends to grow and a constant rate of 3% per year.

  • The risk free rate is 4%, the market risk premium is 4.8% and the beta for the firm is 1.8
  • Assuming the market is in equilibrium calculate the intrinsic value of the firm’s stock
A

2.75 x 1.15 = 3.16

4% + 1.8(4.8%-4%) = *5.4%

3.16 / .054 - .03 = *$131

99
Q

What is the corporate valuation model?

A

free cash flow method - how do we value this company that pays zero dividends?

100
Q

what is the firm multiples method?

A

looking at other ways that stocks are valued by analysts
- price to earnings (P/E)
- price to cash flows (P/CF)
- price to earnings (P/sales)

  • this is not always political
101
Q

what is preferred stock?

A
  • a hybrid between common stocks and bonds
  • preferred stock dividends (or bonds) must be paid before dividends are paid to common stockholders
    – however, dividends are not legally required unless you declare the dividends
102
Q

*** what is the preferred stock formula?

A

dividends / growth rate

103
Q

*** preferred stock example

  • If preferred stock has an annual dividend of $5.00 and it is currently selling in the market for $100, what is the preferred stock’s expected return?
A

5 / ___ = 100?

0.05
