more than the dollar promised at some time in the future. This is because, one could
earn interest on the dollar during the waiting duration therefore, the dollar today
would grow into more than a dollar later. The rate of return from the investment is
one of the factor that will determine the trade-off between money today and money
later.
Formulas FV = PV (1 + r)t
PV = FV/ (1 + r)t
r = (FV/PV)1/t – 1
t = ln (FV/ PV)/ ln (1 + r)
Compound period: m
FV = PV (1 + r/m)m x t
Continuous
FV = PV x e r x t
Rule of 72
Years to double your money = 72/ r%
Relationship
t = PV given r
r = PV given t
compounding frequency = FV
r = 4.25/12 Lump sum = r + [PV/ 1+r t]
t = 6 x 12 = 72 months
Annuity
Finite series of equal payments made at regular interval.
Ordinary Due
PVA = C [1 – 1 / (1 + r)t ] / r PVA due = C [1 – 1 / (1 + r)t ] / r × (1 + r)
FVA = C [(1 + r)t – 1] / r FVA due = C [(1 + r)t – 1] / r × (1 + r)
Perpetuities
Infinite series of equal payments.
PV = C / r PVA = C1 / [r - g]
M = EAR

Preferred stockholders represent an ownership in
the corporation but have no rights to vote.
Claims on income and assets
Senior to common and Common stockholders are the last to receive any
preferred stockholder. distribution hence are called residual owners.
Bondholders’ claim on Preferred stockholders claim must be satisfied
income and asset must be first before common stockholders’
satisfied first.
Discuss the key differences between common stocks and preferred stocks.
The cost of debt financing, which is the interest paid to bondholders are tax
deductible thus, reduces the company’s tax liability since it is the cost of doing
busiess. Conversely, the cost of equity financing, which is the dividend paid to
stockholders are not tax deductible.
Furthermore, the issuing and transaction cost to raise and service debts are
cheaper than those for common stocks.
Moreover, since common stockholders are residual owners with higher risk
than bondholders, they expect a higher rate of return to compensate them.
Therefore, the cost of debt financing is cheaper than equity financing.
price
price
Company is offering a higher return (coupon rate) than the market (YTM)
Relationship YTM = PV of remaining cash flow = Bond Price
r = PV = Bond Price
Sensitivity interest rate risk: bond price change more
Stock
Why valuing common stock is difficult than bond or preferred?
The uncertainty of the size and timing of the dividends as compared to bond
coupon payments because dividends would usually depend on the company’s
earnings and when they declare it.
The inability to directly observe the rate of return of common stock from the
market.
The absence of maturity date because common stocks are true perpetuities.
Perpetuity formula:
E.g. paid 20 years from now
P0 = D/R P19
P0 = Pt / (1 + R) t P0
P0 = D1 + P1 / (1 + R) P0
Dt = D0 (1 + g)t
Dt = D1 (1 + g)t – 1
Pt = Dt + 1 / (R – gconstant)
Multistage model:
1. Compute dividends until growth levels off
Dt = Dt – 1 (1 + g)
Step 1
Step 2
EPSt = EPS0 (1 + g)
P0 = Dt / (R – g)
