Chapter 6 Integrative Problem pg. 147 (Letters A-C) a. What are the key features of a bond? The key features of a bond include the face value (par value), coupon rate, maturity date, and issuer. The face value is the amount the bondholder will receive at maturity. The coupon rate is the interest rate the bond pays. The maturity date is when the bond will be repaid. The issuer is the entity responsible for paying back the bond. b. How do you determine the value of a bond? The value of a bond is determined by discounting the future cash flows (interest payments and the par value) to the present using an appropriate discount rate. This discount rate is typically the required rate of return for the bond, which takes into account the bond's risk and the general interest rates in the market. c. What is the value of a one-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10 percent annual coupon if its required rate of return is 10 percent? What is the value of a similar 10-year bond? Computing Value of bond when: Face Value = $1000 One-Year Bond: Par Value (Face Value): $1,000 Coupon Rate: 10% Required Rate of Return: 10% Years to Maturity: 1 Payment Interval: Annual Ten-Year Bond: Par Value (Face Value): $1,000 Coupon Rate: 10% Required Rate of Return: 10% Years to Maturity: 10 Payment Interval: Annual Yield to Maturity: 10900.00% Current Yield: 1000.00% For a one-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10 percent annual coupon and a required rate of return of 10 percent, the value can be calculated using the formula: Value = (Annual coupon payment) / (Required rate of return) + (Par value) / (1 + Required rate of return). Substituting the values, we get Value = ($100) / (0.10) + ($1,000) / (1 + 0.10) =$1000 + $909.09 =$1,909.09.
For a similar 10-year bond, the value can be calculated using the formula: Value = (Annual coupon payment) / (Required rate of return) * [1 - (1 / (1 + Required rate of return) ^n)] + (Par value) / (1 + Required rate of return) ^n, where n is the number of years. Substituting the values, we get Value = ($100) / (0.10) * [1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10) ^10)] + ($1,000) / (1 + 0.10) ^10 = $614.46 +$385.54 = $1,000. Chapter 7's Spreadsheet Problem on pg 168 Use the model in Spreadsheet C07 to solve this problem. 1. Microweb Company has never paid a dividend. But this year the company expects to pay a dividend equal to $2.50 per share, and it plans to continue paying this same dividend for the following two years (a total of three years). After the $2.50 dividend is paid at the end of Year 3 (i.e., beginning in Year 4), the company expects the dividend to grow at a 3 percent rate, and this growth rate will continue indefinitely. If investors require a 14 percent rate of return to purchase the company’s common stock, what should be the market value of Microweb’s stock today?
2. Ultimate Electric, Inc. has just developed a solar panel capable of generating 200 percent more electricity than any solar panel currently on the market. As a result, Ultimate is expected to experience a 15 percent annual growth rate for the next five years. When the five-year period ends, other firms will have developed comparable technology, and Ultimate’s growth rate will slow to 5 percent per year indefinitely. Stockholders require a return of 12 percent on Ultimate’s stock. The firm’s most recent annual dividend, which was paid yesterday, was $1.75 per share. a . Calculate the value of the stock today. b. Calculate the dividend yield, D1/P0, the expected capital gains yield, and the expected total return (dividend yield plus capital gains yield) for this year. Calculate these same three yields for Year 5. c. Suppose your boss believes that Ultimate’s annual growth rate will be only 12 percent during the next five years and that the firm’s normal growth rate will be only 4 percent. Under these conditions, what is the price of Ultimate’s stock? d. Suppose your boss regards Ultimate as being quite risky and believes that the required rate of return should be higher than the 12 percent originally specified. Rework the problem under the conditions originally given, except change the required rate of return to (1) 13 percent, (2) 15 percent, and (3) 20 percent to determine the effects of the higher required rates of return on Ultimate’s stock price.
