4 Valuation: An Overview The value of an asset is its intrinsic value or the present value of its expected future cash flows, where these cash flows are discounted back to the present using the investor s required rate of return. Value is impacted by Asset characteristics Investor attributes These two areas determine the investor s required rate of return 13 Basic Factors Determining Value Asset Characteristics Expected level of cash flow Timing of cash flow Riskiness of cash flow Investor s required rate of return Investor Attributes Investor s assessment of the riskiness of the asset s cash flows Investor s willingness to bear risk 14 Asset value = Present value of expected cash flows discounted using investor s required rate Bond Valuation Model 15 Bond Valuation Model 16 3 Cash Flows Amount that is paid to purchase the bond (PV) Periodic Interest Payments made to the bondholders (PMT) Repayment of Par value at end of Bond s life (FV) Other Terminology Time frame for cash flows (N) = Bond s Maturity Interest Rate for Time Value is the rate at which future cash flows are being discounted to present.

9 39 42 Default Risk For most securities, there is some risk that the borrower will not repay the interest and/or principal on time, or at all. The greater the chance of default, the greater the interest rate the investor demands and the issuer must pay. Expected Inflation Savers are hurt by inflation since the money that is saved will purchase fewer good and services Example: Joe saves $100 for one year in an account earning 7 interest. During the year prices go up by 1. $100 $107 In REAL TERMS, the $107 at the end of the year will only purchase $97.27 worth of constant goods and services = Inflation Rate Expected Inflation Savers are hurt by inflation since the money that is saved will purchase fewer good and services Example: Joe saves $100 for one year in an account earning 7 interest. During the year prices go up by 1. $100 $107 In REAL TERMS, the $107 at the end of the year will only purchase $97.27 worth of constant goods and services. Conclusion: Savers will demand to be compensated for expected inflation so as not to be hurt by the effects of inflation. 43 Interest Rate Risk If interest rates rise, lenders may find that their loans are earning rates that are lower than what they could get on new loans. The risk of this occurring is higher for longer maturity loans. Lenders will adjust the premium they charge for this risk depending on whether they believe rates will go up or down. 44

10 Liquidity Investments that are easy to sell without losing value are more liquid. Illiquid securities have a higher interest rate to compensate the lender for the inconvenience of being stuck. 45 Determination of Rates k = the nominal, or observed rate on security k* = real, risk free rate of interest IP = Inflation Premium DRP = Default Risk Premium LP = Liquidity Premium - Reflects the ability to sell security easily. IRP = Interest Rate Risk Premium - Reflects interest rate risk long term securities are more sensitive to changes in interest rates 46 Find the Nominal for 1 year and 4 year Government Bonds and 1 and 4 year BBB Corporate Bonds using the following information: The Real risk-free is currently 2.5; Inflation is expected to be 3 in the next year, 4 in the year after that, and 5 for each year thereafter All bonds currently include a 0.1 Interest Rate Risk Premium for each year remaining to maturity The Default Risk Premium for BBB rated bonds is currently 1..
