Bonds and Bond Valuation
A corporation’s long-term debt is usually involves interest-only
loans.
If, for example, a firm wants to borrow $1,000 for 30 years and
the actual interest rate on loans with similar risk characteristics is
12%, then the firm will pay a total of $120 in interest each year
for 30 years and repay the $1,000 loan after 30 years.
The security that guarantees these payments is called abond. A
bond may involve more than one interest payment during a year.
3
Bonds and Bond Valuation
In the above example, interest payments could be as follows:
• one payment of $120 per year;
• two payments of $60 per year;
• four payments of $30 per year;
• any arrangement such that a total of $120 in interest is paid
each year.

Bonds and Bond Valuation
With a single interest payment per year, the timing of cash flows
to the lender is as follows:

With semiannual payments, the timing is:

Bonds and Bond Valuation
A bond is characterized by the following items:
Face Value (F ): The amount of principal to be repaid at the
bond’s maturity date.
Coupon Rate (i): The fraction ofF paid in interest each year.
Maturity ( T ): The number of years until the face value is
repaid.
Number of Payments (m): Number of interest payments in a
year.
6
Bonds and Bond Valuation
Theannual coupon paymentof a bond is then
C = i×F.
If the bond makesm payments per year, each coupon payment is
Cm =Cm
=iFm
and there arem×T of these payments over the life of the bond.
7
Bonds and Bond Valuation
A bond is usually issuedat par, i.e. it sells for $F when issued.
If, for example, the face value of a bond is $1,000, an investor
pays $1,000 for the bond when issued.
As time evolves, the return required by buyers of bonds with
similar characteristics changes. This required return depends on
the market interest rates.
Market interest rates determine theyield to maturityof a bond,
which is the annual return to an individual buying the bond at its
market price and holding it until maturity.
8
Bonds and Bond Valuation
The yield to maturity of a bond is anAPR, not an EAR.
Let y denote the yield to maturity of a bond, which is also the
yield to maturity of bonds with similar risk characteristics.
The market interest rate of a bond between each coupon payment
is thenrm = y/m.
9
Bonds and Bond Valuation
What is the price of a bond with a face valueF = $1,000, a
coupon ratei = 12%and a time to maturityT = 30years if the
bond makes annual interest payments and the rate of return on
securities with similar characteristics (yield to maturity) is 10%?

Each coupon payment is then120/2 = $60, the bond makes

15
Bonds and Bond Valuation
A bond is said to
• sell at a premium whenP > F ;
• sell at par whenP = F ;
• sell at a discount whenP < F .
16
Bonds and Bond Valuation
Zero-Coupon Bonds
A zero-coupon bond is a bond that does not make coupon
payments, i.e. it is a bond with a 0% coupon rate.
The price of a zero-coupon bond with $1,000 face value and 22
years to maturity when the return on similar bonds is 6% is
P =1,000
(1.06)22 = $277.51.
Clearly, a zero-coupon bond always sells at a discount.
17
Bonds and Bond Valuation
A bond is normally issued at par, i.e. bonds with a coupon rate of
12% are issued when the yield to maturity of similar bonds is
12%.
If the face value of the bond is $1,000, its price at the time it is
issued is $1,000.
If, later on, the yield to maturity of similar bonds increases above
(decreases below) 12%, then the bond price will be less (more)
than $1,000.
18
Bonds and Bond Valuation
Knowing the face valueF , the coupon ratei, the time to maturity
T and the number of coupon payments per yearm, we can
computeP wheny is known and vice versa.
Most often, we know the price at which a bond trades and we use
the bond features (F , i andT) to determine its yield to maturity.
Most Canadian bonds make semiannual coupon payments.
19
Bonds and Bond Valuation
Bond prices are usually quoted as a percentage of face value.
If a bond with a face value of $5,000 is quoted at 97.02, this
means that the bond price is
97.02%×5,000 = $4,851.
If this bond has a coupon rate of 8%, makes semiannual
payments and has 21 years to maturity, can we find its yield to
maturity?

+5,000
(1+y/2)42.
What do we know abouty? It has to be more than 8% since the
bond is selling at a discount.
The yield is 8.29%.
21
Interest Rate Risk
A bond trader may be interested in two types of gains:
• Interest income
• Capital gain arising from an increase in the bond price
The risk associated with bond price changes arising from
changes in market interest rates is calledinterest rate risk.
22
Interest Rate Risk
Changes in market interest rates affect bond prices.
Let P0 denote the bond price wheny = y0, and suppose thaty
changes toy1, inducing a new bond priceP1. The sensitivity of a
bond price to a change in interest rate is defined as
|P1−P0|P0
=|∆P|P0
,
i.e. the percentage increase or decrease in the bond price.
23
Interest Rate Risk
The sensitivity of a bond price to changes iny depends on the
bond’s characteristics. With respect toi andT remember the
following results:
1. All other things being equal, the loweri, the greater the
interest rate risk;
2. All other things being equal, the greaterT, the greater the
interest rate risk;
24
Interest Rate Risk
Take, for instance, a zero-coupon bond with a face valueF andT
years to maturity. The price of such a bond is
P =F
(1+y)T .
If y is initially y0 and then cahnges toy1, the relative change in
the bond price is (note that∆P > 0)
|∆P|P0
=
∣∣∣ F(1+y1)T − F
(1+y0)T
∣∣∣F
(1+y0)T
=
∣∣∣∣∣(
1+y0
1+y1
)T
− 1
∣∣∣∣∣ ,
25
Interest Rate Risk
If y1 < y0, then
|∆P|P0
=
∣∣∣∣∣(
1+y0
1+y1
)T
−1
∣∣∣∣∣ =(
1+y0
1+y1
)T
− 1,
which increases asT increases.
If y1 > y0, then
|∆P|P0
=
∣∣∣∣∣(
1+y0
1+y1
)T
−1
∣∣∣∣∣ = 1 −(
1+y0
1+y1
)T
,
which also increases asT increases.
26
Interest Rate Risk
Therefore,the greaterT, the greater the interest rate risk of a
zero-coupon bond.
Does this result hold with coupon bonds?
27
Interest Rate Risk
Consider two bonds, bond 1 and bond 2, withF = $1,000,
i = 10%andm= 1.
Bond 1 has 5 years to maturity while bond 2 has 10 years to
maturity.
If, initially y = 10%, then the price of each bond is $1,000.
28
Interest Rate Risk
Suppose thaty suddenly decreases to 5%.
Then the price of Bond 1 becomes $1,216, an increase of
1,216−1,0001,000
= 21.6%,
and the price of Bond 2 becomes $1,386, an increase of
1,386−1,0001,000
= 38.6%.
The percentage change is greater for the longer-term bond.
29
Interest Rate Risk
Suppose now thaty increases to 15%.
Then the price of Bond 1 becomes $832, a decrease of
1,000−8321,000
= 16.8%,
and the price of Bond 2 becomes $749, a decrease of
1,000−7491,000
= 25.1%.
Again, the percentage change is greater for the longer-term bond.
30
Interest Rate Risk
Consider now two bonds with the same characteristics except for
the coupon rates. More specifically,F = $1,000, T = 10and
m= 1 for both bonds, but Bond 1 has a 5% coupon rate while
Bond 2 has a 10% coupon rate.
If, initially y = 10%, then
• the price of Bond 1 is $693;
• the price of Bond 2 is $1,000.
31
Interest Rate Risk
Suppose thaty decreases to 5%.
Then the price of Bond 1 becomes $1,000, an increase of
1,000−693693
= 44.3%,
and the price of Bond 2 becomes $1,386, an increase of
1,386−1,0001,000
= 38.6%.
The percentage change is greater for the bond with a lower
coupon rate.
32
Interest Rate Risk
Suppose now thaty increases to 15%.
Then the price of Bond 1 becomes $498, a decrease of
693−498693
= 28.1%,
and the price of Bond 2 becomes $749, a decrease of
1,000−7491,000
= 25.1%.
Again, the percentage change is greater for the bond with a lower
coupon rate.

Duration
How to compare bonds with different coupon ratesanddifferent
time to maturity?
It is easy to compare zero-coupon bonds: Interest rate risk of a
zero-coupon bond is simply its time to maturity.
Thus translating coupon bonds into “equivalent” zero-coupon
bonds should facilitate interest rate risk comparisons.
34
Duration
Durationis a measure of the interest rate sensitivity of a bond’s
market price taking into consideration its coupon rate and time to
maturity.
The duration of a bond can be seen as the the time to maturity of
the bond’s equivalent zero-coupon bond.
Duration is measured in units of time.
35
Duration
How to calculate duration?
Take a 3-year bond with a 10% coupon rate,F = $1,000and
m= 1. This bond can be viewed as a set of three zero-coupon
bonds:
Bond z1; A zero-coupon bond paying $100 in one year;
Bond z2; A zero-coupon bond paying $100 in two years;
Bond z3; A zero-coupon bond paying $1,100 in three years.

being given by the present value of the payment divided by the
bond price.

Duration Hedging
A firm can hedge against interest rate risk by matching liabilities
with assets.
What do we match? Either
Duration ofassets
= Duration ofliabilities
or
Durationof assets
× Market valueof assets
= Durationof liabilities
× Market valueof liabilities
Using this procedure, a firm canimmunizeitself against interest
rate risk.

Duration Hedging
Is IWG immunized against interest rate risk?
2.56×1,000 > 2.56×900.
Both durations being equal, the percentage change in the value of
assets following a small change in interest rates is close to the
percentage change in the value of liabilities but, since there are
more assets than liabilities, the overall change in assets will be
greater than the overall change in liabilities.
48
Duration Hedging
What should the firm do?
1. Increase the duration of liabilities without changing the
duration of assets:
Duration ofliabilities
= 2.56× 1,000900
= 2.84years.
2. Decrease the duration of assets without changing the
duration of liabilities:
Duration ofassets
= 2.56× 9001,000
= 2.30years.
49
The Call Provision
A bond may be issued with a call provision.
That is, the issuer has the right to repurchase the bond issue
before its expiration.
The price at which the bonds can be repurchased is called thecall
price.
The call price is normally given by the bond’s face value plus a
call premium.
50
The Call Provision
Suppose, for example, that Company XYZ has a bond issue with
22 years until maturity, $1,000 face value and a coupon rate of
8%. The bonds make semiannual payments.
If the yield to maturity is 6%, the price of each of these bonds is
P =80.06
(1−
(1
1.03
)44)
+1,000
(1.03)44 = $1,242.54.
51
The Call Provision
If the firm had the right to repurchase the bonds for $1,150 each,
should it do it (bondholders would be obliged to sell at that
price)?
What if it had the right to repurchase each bond for $1,300?
A call provision on a bond is an option that gives the issuer (the
firm) the right to repurchase the issue at a pre-specified price (the
call price), usually after a pre-specified date. When the issuer
exercises its right, bondholders have the obligation to sell at the
pre-specified price. It is a contractual arrangement.
52
The Call Provision
Clearly, a call provision and the size of the call price on a bond
will affect its yield to maturity or the coupon rate needed for the
bond to be sold at par.
The idea behind a call provision is that, if interest rates fall in the
future, the issuer will be able take advantage of the low rates by
repurchasing its high-interest-rate bonds and replacing them with
low-rate bonds.
53
The Call Provision
Example
Company XYZ wants to raise $1M by issuing $1,000-bonds with
25 years to maturity. The current yield to maturity for similar
bonds is 10%. The bonds will make annual coupon payments.
Without a call provision, the coupon rate has to be 10% for these
bonds to be issued at par (i.e. $1,000 each).
54
The Call Provision
Example
XYZ, however, wants to be able to replace the bonds with
low-rate ones if interest rates fall before the bonds mature.
Suppose then that the bonds are issued with a call provision
allowing XYZ to repurchase each bond for $1,200 one year from
now. If XYZ does not exercise its next year, then it won’t able to
repurchase the bonds at any other time in the future. This is not
realistic, it is for expositional simplicity only.
55
The Call Provision
Example
If the bonds have a coupon rate of 10% and the yield to maturity
falls to 7% in one year, will XYZ repurchase the issue?
If y = 7%one year from now, the value of each bond will be
P =100.07
(1−
(1
1.07
)24)
+1,000
(1.07)24 = $1,344.08.
56
The Call Provision
Example
If the firm repurchases each bond for $1,200, its profit per bond is
1,344.08 − 1,200.00 = $144.08
and thus it should do it.
57
The Call Provision
Example
Put differently, suppose that, if repurchasing the issue, XYZ
replaces it by a non-callable issue with a coupon rate equal to the
market rate.
If, for instance,y = 7%in one year, replacing the 10% callable
bonds with 7% non-callable bonds would save the company
100−70= $30per bond in interest each year.
58
The Call Provision
Example
The present value of the interest savings is
30.07
(1−
(1
1.07
)24)
= $344.08.
This $344.08 is thecash inflowfrom the repurchase.
59
The Call Provision
Example
Repurchasing the bonds, however, creates a cash outflow of
1,200−1,000= $200per bond.
That is, $1,200 has to be spent to repurchase an old bond and
each new bond provides $1,000.
The net cash flow from the operation is then
344.08 − 200.00 = $144.08.
60
The Call Provision
Example
How much would you pay for XYZ’s callable bond today if you
believed that next year’s yield to maturity had 50% chance to be
7% and 50% chance to be 13%? Today’s yield is 10%.
If y = 7%, XYZ repurchases the bond and you get $1,200.
If y = 13%XYZ does not repurchase and the bond is worth
100.13
(1−
(1
1.13
)24)
+1,000
(1.13)24 = $781.51.
In each case, you also receive $100 after one year.
61
The Call Provision
Example
What you would be willing to pay for a callable bond is the
present value of its expected cash flow in one year, which is
PV =.5×1,200.00+ .5×781.51+100.00
1.10= $991.60.
That is, you would pay less than $1,000 even though the coupon
rate is equal to the market rate.
Why? Because the call feature penalizes you: It prevents you
from receiving high interest payments when interest rates are low.
62
The Call Provision
Example
At what coupon rate would XYZ be able to issue its callable
bonds at par?
Assume that the yield to maturity one year from now has 50%
chance of being 7% and 50% chance of being 13% and each
bond can be repurchased at a call price of $1,200 one year from.
If not repurchased in one year, the bonds become regular bonds
(they cannot be repurchased at a later date).
63
The Call Provision
Example
Let C denote the coupon payment on XYZ’s callable bonds. Theexpected payoff (EP) of such a bond in one year, assuming it isrepurchased if the market rate falls to 7%, is
EP = .5×1,200 + .5×(
C.13
(1−
(1
1.13
)24)
+1,000
(1.13)24
)+ C
= 600 + 3.6414C + 26.6126 + C
= 626.6126 + 4.6414C.
64
The Call Provision
Example
If the market rate is currently 10%,C has to be such that
1,000 =626.6126 + 4.6414C
1.10⇒ C = 101.99,
which means a coupon rate of 10.199%.
65
The Call Provision
Example
To be issued at par, a callable bond’s coupon rate must be higher
than the actual return on non-callable bonds with similar
characteristics.
Purchasers of callable bonds have to be compensated for the
possible loss in interest payments.
66
