Debenture Valuation
A debenture is a private and long-term debt instrument issued by financial, non-financial institutions, governments, or corporations. A debenture is classified as a type of bond, where the instrument carries a fixed rate of interest, commonly known as the ‘coupon rate.’ Debentures are documented in an indenture, clearly specifying the type of debenture, the rate and method of interest computation, and maturity date.
Note Valuation
It is the process to determine the value or worth of an asset, liability, debt of the company. It can be determined by many processes or techniques. Many factors can impact the valuation of an asset, liability, or the company, like:

![Bonds can be issued (sold) for more or less than their face value.
Sells at Face Amount (100%):
Bond Premium (>100%):
Bond Discount (<100%):
Determining the Issue Price of a Bond
1. Identify the two cash flows provided by the bond (Face value-a single sum AND Interest
payments [face x stated rate or if semiannual then face x % stated rate]-an annuity).
2. Compare the market rate with the stated rate to determine if bond will sell at face, premium or
discount. If at face then no more calculations are needed.
3. Eliminate the stated rate, you don't need it anymore as you already know the cash flows from
the bond.
4. Use the market rate and compounding periods to determine the correct factor to present value
the cash flows.
Practice
ABC Corporation wants to issue five-year $1,000 bonds 10% stated rate paying semi-annual interest.
Market rate of interest is 8%; (therefore, semiannual would be 5% stated rate and 4% market rate
respectively). What is the bond issue price on January 1, 20XA?
Calculate the issue price of the bond:
CASH FLOW X PV FACTOR (use market rate) =
Present Value
Present Value of Principal (Face)
Present Value of Interest Payment
(Face x stated)
Issue price (sales price)
OR with the TI BAII Plus Calculator
PMT
СРТ PV
IY
FV
The issue price:
Calculate the difference:
Bond issue price
Bond face amount
