Rates of Return
The rate of return from investing Co at time 0 and getting C1 at time 1 is:
C1 C 0 C1
r r 0,1 1
C0 C0
With dividends D (or coupons or rent) paid at the end of the period (thus not
reinvestable to get you even more):
C1 D 0,1 C 0 C1 D 0,1
r r 0,1 1
• The dividend (or coupon or interim
C 0 payment) yield
C 0is D0,1/C0 .
• The capital gain is C1 – C0.
• The (percent) price change is (C1 − C0) ⁄ C0 (multiplied by 100)
• The (total) rate of return is the percent price change plus the interim payment
yield.
4
The One-Period Case: Future Value
• If you were to invest $10,000 at 5-percent interest for
one year, your investment would grow to $10,500.
• Thus, the future value of investing C0 today at interest
rate r is:
FV = C0×(1 + r)
This multiplication is called “compounding”
• A (sure) dollar today is not equal to a (sure) dollar
tomorrow because there exists an outside opportunity:
to invest at r!
5
The One-Period Case: Present Value
• If you were promised $10,000 due in one year when
interest rates is 5-percent, how much would your
investment be worth in today’s $?
How much do you need to invest today to get
$10,000 in a year?
$10,000
$9,523.81
1.05
• Thus, the present value of a payoff next period is:
C1
PV
(1 r)
This division is called “discounting” 6
The Multi-period Case: Future Value
• The general formula for the future value of an investment
over many periods (at constant interest rate) can be written
as:
FV = C0×(1 + r)T
Where
C0 is cash flow at date 0,
r is the appropriate interest rate, and
T is the number of periods over which the cash is invested.

Question for Self-Assessment
Suppose you borrow 971,594 from the bank at 7% for 3 years with
monthly repayments.
From the example above we know that each month you have to
give 30K to the bank.
This comprises of both the interest payment (interest on the loan
outstanding) and principal repayment.

– The Par Value (Face Value) of the bond is $100.
– Coupon payments are made semi-annually (April 30 and October
31 for this particular bond).
– Since the coupon rate is 1 3/8 the coupon payment is

The Yield Curve and Treasuries
• U.S. Treasuries are one of the most important financials markets in the world.
– They are risk-free.
– The outstanding amount is >$19 trillion
about half held by foreign investors
– Names: Bills (<=1y), Notes (2y-10y), Bonds (>10y).
• This market is close to “perfect”:
– Extremely low transaction costs (for traders).
– Few opinion differences (inside information).
– Deep market: many buyers and sellers.
– Income taxes depend on owner.
• In addition, there is no uncertainty about payment.
(Note, a market could still be perfect, even if payoffs are uncertain).

Present Value of Common Stocks
• Expected return on a stock for a 1-year investor:
Div1 P1 P0 Div1 P1 P0
r
P0 P0 P0

Div1 P1
• If P0 1 rE , expected return on this stock is lower than on
others of equivalent risk (rE), so demand for this stock will
decrease and price will adjust downwards.

• If 1 rE , expected return on this stock is higher than on
others of equivalent risk (rE), so demand for this stock will
increase and price will adjust upwards.

52
Problems with constant growth
• Recall that the valuation formula becomes meaningless
as growth rate g approaches the discount rate rE
53
Most common case: Differential Growth
• Assume that dividends will grow at different rates in the
foreseeable future and then will grow at a constant rate
thereafter.
• To value a Differential Growth Stock, we need to:
– Estimate future dividend growth in near future
– Estimate future dividend growth as it leaves the
growth stage
– Compute the total present value at the appropriate
discount rate.
54
Dividend-Discount Model
• The reason why Dividend Discount Model is used less
often than Discounted Cash Flows Model: its
underlying parameters are difficult to
predict/estimate.
• The value of a firm depends upon its growth rate, g, and
its discount rate, rE.
– Where does rE come from?
– Where does g come from?
55
Where does g come from? Example
• Current earnings are $100
• Retention/plowback ratio is 40% , i.e. dividend payout
ratio is 60%, meaning that $40 is reinvested and $60 is
dividend.
• Firm earns 25% return on the reinvested earnings by
selecting profitable projects, thus $40 will produce $10
of extra earnings next year.
• Again, 60% of $100+$10 is paid out, resulting in 10%
dividend growth from $60 to $66
• Growth of dividend = 40%*25%=10%
56
Where does g come from? Example
Div Div
payout retention 1
EPS EPS
Div0 payout EPS0
Div1 payout EPS1
EPS1 EPS0 ( EPS0 Div0 ) R
EPS1 EPS0 (1 retention R)
g retention R
57
Pay out or plow back?
Div1 60
• Current share price is: P0 600
(assume rE=0.2) rE g 0.2 0.1
• Can’t use it to value firms that are not paying any dividends
now.
• Hard to predict dividend growth (often at managerial
discretion).
• CL: We’ll have to go back to fundamentals and figure out
where dividends come from – the cash flows.

Real Life Capital Budgeting
Rarely means “usually no—often used incorrectly in the real world.” NPV works if
correctly applied, which is why there is a qualifier “almost” to always. Of course, if
you are considering an extremely good or an extremely bad project, almost any
evaluation criterion is likely to give you the same recommendation.
64
The Net Present Value (NPV) Rule
• Estimating NPV:
– 1. Estimate future cash flows: how much? and when?
– 2. Estimate discount rate, r, (cost of capital)
– 3. Estimate initial costs
65
Why Use Net Present Value?
66
The Internal Rate of Return
C1 C2 C3
0 C0
(1 IRR ) (1 IRR ) (1 IRR )
2 3
In the context of bonds, the IRR boils down to the Yield-To-Maturity (YTM).
67
The Concept of IRR
• The IRR is not a rate of return in the sense that it is not a return
offered by equivalent-risk investments in the capital market.
• Note: Multiplying each and every cash flow by the same factor,
positive or negative, will not change the IRR.
68
Finding the IRR
69
The difference between IRR and the cost of capital is the
maximum amount of estimation error in the cost of capital
you can “afford” w/o altering the original decision.
70
Obscure Problems?
• You are guaranteed one unique IRR if you have a first, up-front
cash flow that is an investment (a single negative number), followed
only by positive cash flows (payback). (The same is the case in the
reverse.)
– This cash flow pattern is also usually the case for most
normal corporate investment projects.
– In the real world, there are very few projects that have both
positive and negative cash flows that alternate many times.
71
Pitfall 1: Lend or Borrow?
• Even though both projects have IRR of 50%, they are not
equally attractive!
• Project A: invest and get 50%, better than any bank account!
• Project B: receive $100 to repay $150 later – borrowing at 50%,
bad deal!
• Can’t say whether 50% IRR is good or bad, unless know type of
the project: want high rate on lending money and low rate on
borrowing money.
72
IRR as a Capital Budgeting Rule
• Because you cannot do any better than doing right, always using NPV is the
best.
• The nice thing is that the rule
Invest if “IRR project” > “cost of capital (IRR elsewhere)”
where the cost of capital is your prevailing interest rate, often (but not always)
leads to the same answer as the NPV rule, and thus the correct answer. This is also
the reason why IRR has survived as a common method for “capital budgeting.”
• This applies to “projects” that are “first money out, then money in.”
• If you use IRR correctly and in the right circumstances, it can not only give you
the right answer, it can also often give you nice extra intuition.

IRR
Disadvantages:
1. There may be no IRR (i.e. no real root of the polynomial).
2. There may be multiple IRR’s.
3. IRR is scale insensitive (which can cause problems comparing projects).
4. The benchmark cost of capital may be time-varying, in which case the IRR
may not be easily comparable.
Advantages:
• Easy to understand and communicate
• Your cost of capital does not enter into the IRR calculation.
Thus, IRR has the advantage that you do not need to recalculate the whole
project value under different cost-of-capital scenarios (if you want to play
around with projects before talking to the bank).
But that is so easy to do anyway – just graph your NPV(r)!
78
The Profitability Index (PI) Rule
NPV
• Minimum Acceptance Criteria: PI
– Accept if PI > 0 Initial Investment
• Same answer as NPV when Initial Investment is an outflow.
• Generally cannot be used for mutually exclusive projects (shares
same problems with IRR: scale and timing).
• Does not have the advantage of IRR of keeping the cost of
capital separate.

The Payback Period Rule
• How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial
investment?
• Ranking Criteria:
– set by management: e.g. select shortest payback
Project C0 C1 C2 Payback
A -1 +2 1
B -1 +200 2
83
The Payback Period Rule
• Disadvantages:
– Ignores the time value of money
– Ignores cash flows after the payback period
– Biased against long-term projects
– Requires an arbitrary acceptance criteria
– A project accepted based on the payback criteria may not
have a positive NPV
• Advantages:
– Easy to understand
– May be useful if managers cannot be trusted to provide good
estimates of far out future cash flows.
84
Discounted Payback Period Rule
• How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial
investment taking the time value of money into account?
• By the time you have discounted the cash flows, you might as
well calculate the NPV.
85
Average Accounting Return Rule
• Another attractive but fatally flawed approach.
Average Net Income
AAR
Average Book Value of Investment
• Ranking Criteria and Minimum Acceptance Criteria set by
management
• Disadvantages:
– Ignores the time value of money
– Uses an arbitrary benchmark cutoff rate
– Based on book values, not cash flows and market values
• Advantages:
– The accounting information is usually available
– Easy to calculate
86
Summary
• When it is all said and done, they are not the NPV rule; for those
of us in finance, it makes them decidedly second-rate.
87
The Equivalent Annual Cost Method
• There are times when a blind application of the NPV rule can
lead to the wrong decision (but the correct application will of
course give the correct answer!)
