Giddy Global Equity 23 Dividend Discount Models: General Model V o = Dt ( 1 + k ) t = 1 t V 0 = Value of Stock D t = Dividend k = required return Copyright 2002 Ian H. Giddy Global Equity 24

Giddy Global Equity 27 The Investors Viewpoint: Equity Risk and Return Investors diversify, because you get a better return for a given risk. There is a fully-diversified market portfolio that we should all choose The risk of an individual asset can be measured by how much risk it adds to the market portfolio. But does this apply to the global capital market? Copyright 2002 Ian H. Giddy Global Equity 28

15 Global Equity Financing-15 The Weighted Average Cost of Capital Choice Cost 1. Equity Cost of equity - Retained earnings - depends upon riskiness of the stock - New stock issues - will be affected by level of interest rates - Warrants Cost of equity = riskless rate + beta * risk premium Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) 2. Debt Cost of debt - Bank borrowing - depends upon default risk of the firm - Bond issues - will be affected by level of interest rates - provides a tax advantage because interest is tax-deductible Cost of debt = Borrowing rate (1 - tax rate) Bond Pricing Debt + equity = Cost of capital = Weighted average of cost of equity and Capital cost of debt; weights based upon market value. Cost of capital = k d [D/(D+E)] + k e [E/(D+E)] WACC Copyright 2002 Ian H. Giddy Global Equity 29 The Cost of Equity Depends on the Company s Risk Premium r j = R F + β j (r m - R F ) where: r j = Required return on asset j; R F = Risk-free rate of return β j = Beta Coefficient for asset j; r m = Market return The term [β j (r m - R F )] is called the risk premium and (r m -R F ) is called the market risk premium Copyright 2002 Ian H. Giddy Global Equity 30

16 Global Equity Financing-16 International Equity Markets and Portfolio Diversification No well-accepted international version of the capital asset pricing model. The benefits of diversification globally are empirical issues. The empirical case for international diversification has two components. Establish the riskiness of foreign investment, and the extent to which combining a foreign with a domestic portfolio reduces risk. Even if it reduces risk, does foreign investment also reduce expected return? Then what we have to do is make sure we understand how international diversification is best achieved.
