Bonds and Their Valuation
Example: On January 3, 2019, Allied Foods Products borrowed $50 million by issuing $50 million of bonds. In any event,
Allied received the $50 million, and in exchange it promised to make annual interest payments and to repay $50 million on
a specific date.
Bond Valuation
The value of any financial assets – a stock, a bond, lease, or even a physical asset is simply the present value of the cash
flows the assets expected to produce.
Key point
1. Whenever the going rate of interest, is equal to the coupon rate, a fixed-rate bond will sell at its par value.
2. Interest rates do change over time, but coupon rate remains fixed after the bond has been issued. Whenever the
going rate of interest rises above the coupon rate; a fixed-rate bond’s price will fall below its par value. Such a
bond is called a discount bond. (Discount bond a bond that sell below its par value; occurs whenever the going
rate of interest is above the coupon rate)
3. Whenever the going rate of interest falls below the coupon rate, a fixed-rate bond’s price will rise above its par
value. Such a bond called a premium bond. (Premium bond a bond that sells above its par value; occurs
whenever the going rate of interest is below the coupon rate)
4. Thus, an increase in interest rates will cause the price of outstanding bonds to fall, whereas a decrease in rates
will cause bond price to rise.
Illustration 1:
Suppose you are offered a 10-year, 8 percent coupon, P1,000 par value bond at a price of P877.60. What rate of return
could you earn if you bought the bond and held it to maturity?
Illustration 2:
You were offered a 14-year, 10% annual coupon, P1,000 par value bond at a price of P1,494.93. What rate of interest
would you earn on your investment if you bought the bond and held to maturity?
Illustration 3:
Halley’s Enterprises’ bonds currently sell for P975. The bonds have a seven-year maturity, pay an annual coupon of $90,
and have a par value of $1,000. What is the Yield to Maturity? and Current Yield? (9.48%; 9.23%)
Illustration 5:
Allied Food Products just paid a dividend of $1.15. its stock has a required rate of return of 13.4 percent, and investors
expected dividend to grow at a constant 8 percent in the future.
Illustration 7:
Suppose this analysis had been conducted on January 1, 2019:
a. $23 is the January 1, 2019, stock price;
b. 13.4% is the expected rate of return;
c. $1.242 is the dividend expected at the end of 2019; and
d. 8% a constant growth rate in the future.
Required:
1. What is the expected stock price at the end of 2019?
2. Capital gains yield of 2019?
3. Dividend yield of 2020?
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock is a hybrid – it is similar to bonds in some respect and to common stock in others. The hybrid nature of the
preferred stock becomes apparent when we try to classify it in relation to bonds and common stock. Like bonds, preferred
stock has a par value and a fixed amount of dividends that must be paid before the dividends can be paid on the common
stock. However, if the preferred dividends is not earned, the directors can omit (or “pass”) it without throwing the company
into bankruptcy. So although preferred stock has a fixed payment of bonds, failure to make this payment will not lead to
bankruptcy.
As noted above, a preferred stock entitles its owners to regular, fixed dividend payments. Most of the preferred stocks are
perpetuities. The value of preferred stock is:

Illustration 8:
Allied Food Products has preferred stock outstanding that pays a divided of $10 per year. If the required rate of return on
this preferred stock is 10 percent, then the value of preferred stock is?

Growth Rate
21. Given that the cost of common stock is 18 percent, dividends are $1.50 per share, and the price of the stock is $12.50
per share, what is the annual growth rate of dividends?
A. 4 percent C. 6 percent
B. 5 percent D. 8 percent Gitman
* Under the dividend growth model, the cost of equity equals the
expected growth rate plus the quotient of the next dividend and the current market price.
Thus, the cost of equity capital is 20% [10% + ($3 ÷ $30)]. This model assumes that the
payout ratio, retention rate, and the earnings per share growth rate are all constant.
