Debt & Valuation
Parties
Acceptor (guarantee)
Drawer (takes funds, issues debt)
Discounter (buys debt @ discount)
Short term debt
Period is less than one year
No explicit interest paid (interest is the difference between FV and purchase price)

Bonds
Pay coupons at regular intervals
Repay an amount at maturity
Market interest rates (“i” or YTM or RRR) fluctuates
When bond price < face value the bond is discount

Equity
Key
P0 = Value of share @ t=0
Dt = Expected dividend payout at time t
D = Value of a constant dividend r = Discount Rate g = growth rate
D1 = D0(1+g)
Equity Valuation (current value of a share) = PV of all future dividends

Constant Dividend Model
Is perpetuity ... therefore from Constant Growth Model
Requires:
Constant rate of change in dividend
Rate smaller than the discount rate

Rights issue
M = Market Price
S = Subscription price
N = Number of shares

Ex Rights Price
X = Ex Rights Price
S = Subscription price
R = Rights issue value

Capital Budgeting
Choosing an investment
Accounting Rate of Return

If ARR ≥ required RR, then accept
Payback Period
Discounted payback
Cash flows are discounted to their present values
Removes the issue of TVM in Payback period
Gives breakeven life
Net Present Value
NPV is PV of all future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return less initial investments

than accept r = required rate of return
CFt = cash flows for time “t”
I0 = Invested amount at “t=0”
NPV = Change in s/h wealth

All information is reflected in share price
Semi-Strong
All public information is reflected in share price
Weak
Current price reflects own past prices
Trend analysis cannot find mispriced shares
Return (1 period)

R = Return
P = Price (Pt @ t) (Pt-1 @ “beginning”)
D = Cash Flow
Return (multiple periods)

r = rate of return
D = Cash Flow (present value of all future cash flows
Average return

r = rate of return in period n = number of observations
Expected Return

Pa = Probability of a occurring
Ra = Result of A occurring
NB: do “boom” and “bust” separate (i.e. average/weighted average them, and then use form)
