Calculate intrinsic value of both investment options and identify whether these
securities are undervalued or over-valued.
Solution:
Given:
𝑃𝑉(𝐷1) = = = 𝑅𝑠.9.22
𝑃𝑉(𝐷2) = = = 𝑅𝑠.8.50
𝑃𝑉(𝐷3) = = = 𝑅𝑠.7.83
The terminal value at year 3 (TV3) is calculated using the Gordon Growth Model:
𝑇𝑉3 = = = = 𝑅𝑠.183.71
𝑃𝑉(𝑇𝑉3) = = = 𝑅𝑠.120.82
Therefore, the intrinsic value of M&J Textiles' shares is Rs. 146.37. Since the current market
price is Rs. 98, the shares are undervalued.
Given:
The intrinsic value of a bond is calculated by discounting the coupon payments and the face
value back to the present value at the market interest rate.
𝑃𝑉(𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒) = = = 𝑅𝑠.247.18
Therefore, the intrinsic value of Dhani Textiles' bonds is Rs. 849.44. Since the current market
price is Rs. 980, the bonds are overvalued.
1. Suggest which investment option Aneela should select if she declares herself as a
risk- averse investor, will it be a rational decision based on intrinsic value
comparison in question 1, why or why not?
Solution:
M&J Textiles' shares: Intrinsic value = Rs. 146.37, Market price = Rs. 98 (undervalued)
Dhani Textiles' bonds: Intrinsic value = Rs. 849.44, Market price = Rs. 980 (overvalued)
2. Rational Decision: Compared to Dhani Textiles' overpriced bonds, M&J Textiles' shares
are more appealing due to their undervaluation from an intrinsic value perspective. But
because of their inherent volatility, stocks are often riskier than bonds. Despite the
pricing, Aneela's risk aversion makes investing in discounted equities riskier than bonds.
Conclusion
Bonds are a safer investment option for Aneela, who is a risk-averse investor. It may not be a
wise choice to buy in Dhani Textiles' bonds, nevertheless, since they are currently overpriced.
She may be justified in investing in the cheap shares of M&J Textiles if she is ready to accept a
little risk in the hopes of potentially bigger profits. If she isn't comfortable with this level of risk,
she should seek out other bond choices or more conservative investing possibilities.
