The document provides information about interest rates, including yield to maturity, rate of return, and real vs nominal interest rates. It discusses:
- Yield to maturity is the interest rate that equates the present value of debt payments to the instrument's current value.
- Rate of return considers the purchase price, sale price, and any payments to calculate return over a period of time for investments sold before maturity.
- Real interest rates adjust nominal rates for inflation to show returns in terms of purchasing power rather than dollar amounts. The Fisher equation defines the relationship between real and nominal rates.

WACC ExampleA firm is considering a new project which would b.docxmelbruce90096
WACC Example:
A firm is considering a new project which would be similar in terms of risk to its existing projects. The firm needs a discount rate for evaluation purposes. The firm has enough cash on hand to provide the necessary equity financing for the project. Also, the firm:
· has 1,000,000 common shares outstanding
· current price $11.25 per share
· next year’s dividend expected to be $1 per share
· firm estimates dividends will grow at 5% per year after that
· flotation costs for new shares would be $0.10 per share
· has 150,000 preferred shares outstanding
· current price is $9.50 per share
· dividend is $0.95 per share
· if new preferred are issued, they must be sold at 5% less than the current market price (to ensure they sell) and involve direct flotation costs of $0.25 per share
· has a total of $10,000,000 (par value) in debt outstanding. The debt is in the form of bonds with 10 years left to maturity. They pay annual coupons at a coupon rate of 11.3%. Currently, the bonds sell at 106% of par value. Flotation costs for new bonds would equal 6% of par value.
The firm’s tax rate is 40%. What is the appropriate discount rate for the new project?
Solution
:
Market value of common = 11.25(1000000) =
$11,250,000
Market value of preferred = 9.50(150000) =
$1,425,000
Market value of debt = 10000000(1.06) =
$10,600,000
Total value of firm =
$23,275,000
Cost of common:
(Note: floatation costs ignored for common equity because cash on hand is enough to finance the project.)

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

2. Objectives of Learning Unit #9
• Yield to Maturity
• Rate of Return
• Real and Nominal Interest Rates
3. Yield to Maturity
• Yield to maturity: The interest rate that equates the
present value of payments received from a debt
instrument with its value today.
– Given cash flows in future from a debt instrument such as
coupon bond and fixed payment loan, a present value of the
cash flows can be computed with a choice of an interest
rate. Depending on your choice of interest rate, the present
value could be high or low.
– If the present value is exactly equal to the value (price) of
the debt instrument today, then that interest is the yield to
maturity.
4. Yield to Maturity as Interest Rate
• There are many interest rate formula available.
Only “yield to maturity” is considered as the
interest rate in economics and finance.
• In finance, the yield to maturity is called
“internal rate of return.”
• All other formula to compute interest rates are
approximations of actual interest rate and they
are NOT the interest rate!
• Remember when we say “interest rate,” it
means the yield to maturity!
5. Example of Yield to Maturity
• You borrow $100 today and promise to pay
back $110 one year later.
– A future cash flow is $110 one year later.
– A value of instrument (simple loan) is $100 today.
• Cash flows on timeline should look like
0 1
$100
$110
6. Example of Yield to Maturity
• A present value of future cash flow is

=

110$
• Equate the present value to the simple loan today:

===

• Solve for i: i = 10%
7. Another Example of Yield to Maturity
• You borrow $100 today and promise to pay back $121
two years later. Cash flows on timeline looks as
0 1 2
$121
$100
• Equate a present value of cash flow with the value today.

• Solve for i: i = 10%
8. Yield to Maturity Formula
• Formula #4: i = (FV/PV)1/n
- 1
This formula can be applied only on simple loan or
discount bond where there is only one cash flow in
future.
• Ex. A 2-year simple loan with $100 principal and $121
payback.
Here, PV=$100, FV=$121, and n=2, so the yield to
maturity is
%101.01
100$
121$
i

==−
=
9. Yield to Maturity of Bonds
• When there are more than one cash flows in future,
you cannot use Formula #4.
• Instead, you may use a business calculator, Microsoft
Excel, or simply try-and-error.
• Ex. A coupon bond with 5% coupon rate and 2 year
maturity is priced at $950 today.
• Cash flows on timeline look like
0 1 2
$50 $1,050
$950
10. Yield to Maturity of Bonds
• Equate a present value of future cash flows with a
value of bond today:
2
)i1(
1050$
i1

PV950$todayValue
+
+
+
===
• Solve for i: i = 7.8%
• If you have a business calculator, simply provide
cash flows including today’s value and year, then
compute for IRR (internal rate of return).
11. Trial-and-Error Method
You can find an approximate yield to maturity by trial-and-error
method.
– First, use the formula of current yield to make an initial guess: current
yield = $50/$950 = 5.2%
– Second, use the rate of return formula to make another guess: rate of
return = ($50 + $1050 - $950)/$950 = 15.8%
– An actual yield to maturity is between these two numbers, so let’s start
with i = 10% (middle point). Then, PV = $913.22 < $950 = value today, it
is too small. To make PV higher, i must be lower (an inverse
relationship).
– Choose i = 7%, then PV = $963.84 > $950, so i is little too small, and i
should be little greater than 7%.
– Choose i = 8%, then PV = $946.50 < $950, it is very close, and i should be
little less than 8%.
– Choose i = 7.8%, then PV = $949.93 ≈ $950, it is a good approximation!
– So, an approximate yield to maturity is 7.8%.
12. Using Microsoft Excel
You can use Microsoft Excel to compute a yield
to maturity.
– First, input cash flows: -$950, $50, $1050
Notice that the value today is negative!
– Then, use IRR function under “Financial formula”
where you select three numbers (cells) within the
formula.
– You should get 7.796% as a result.
13. Other Measures of Interest Rates
The yield to maturity is the most accurate
measure of interest rates. Two approximation
measures of interest rates are
• Current Yield
• Yield on A Discount Basis
14. Current Yield
• You cannot use the yield to maturity formula #4 on
any debt instrument with more than one future cash
flows.
• Instead, you can use the current yield to approximate
a yield to maturity.
Formula #5 (Current Yield): i = C/P
C: Annual coupon payment
P: Price of console today
• Current yield is an approximation, it is NOT a yield
to maturity or the interest rate.
15. Console
• Console: A perpetual coupon bond with no maturity.
A console has a face value and a coupon rate like a
regular coupon bond. Its issuer pays a fixed annual
coupon payment each year and forever.
• Console were issued and traded in U.K. many many
years ago. No one issues console anymore.
• The longest maturity of Treasury security is 30 years,
while the longest maturity of corporate bonds is 100
years. Who wants to have console? Who can
promise to pay forever?
16. Console and Current Yield
• For a perpetual fixed payment like console, the
current yield is exactly equal to the yield to maturity.
So, you can use the current yield formula to compute
a yield to maturity on console.
• A console is priced at $1000 today and provides $100
annual coupon payments forever. The yield to
maturity of the console is its current yield, that is,
%10
1000$
100$
i ==
• This is a special case. For any other fixed maturity bonds (even
with 100 years maturity) or variable cash flows, you cannot use the
current yield formula to compute the yield to maturity!
17. Console alike in the U.S.
• Console is not traded in the U.S., so why is it useful
to know?
• There are some financial instrument which acts like
console. Do you know any financial instrument
which does not have maturity and promises to pay a
fixed amount each year?
• Preferred stocks issued by regulated monopoly such
as Duke Power.
– Preferred stocks like common stocks do not have maturity.
– Preferred stocks promise to pay a fixed dividend as long as
issuing corporations make profits.
– Regulated monopoly like Duke Power is almost guaranteed
to make profits each year by the government.
– Utility companies like Duke Power is expected to continue
its business almost forever.
18. Current Yield on Preferred Stock
• Because some preferred stocks act like
console, you can use the current yield formula
to compute a yield to maturity on the preferred
stocks.
• Ex. A preferred stock costs $90 today and pays
$6 dividend every year. The yield to maturity
on the preferred stock is
i = $6/$90 = 6.7%
19. Yield on A Discount Basis
• Yield on a discount basis is used to
approximate an interest rate on U.S. Treasury
bills.
• U.S. Treasury bills were first issued in 1929.
How could traders know their interest rates?
Did they have business calculators or
Microsoft Excel? Of course not. They used
the yield on a discount basis to find quickly
approximate interest rates with paper and pen!

Formula #6:

weeks). How many days in one month, 3 months, 6
months, or one year approximately?
• U.S. Treasury bills has face values of $100, $1,000, or
$10,000 (sold in increments of $100).

• Ex. A T-bill has one year maturity, $10,000 face
value, and is sold at $9,500.
• Note that a number of days to maturity is 364, which is 52 weeks (one
year T-bill).
22. Yield to Maturity and Saving
• As the yield to maturity formula takes into account
all cash flows from a debt instrument, it implicitly
assumes that a buyer of the instrument to hold it
until its maturity and to receive all cash flows.
• The yield to maturity formula is useful to evaluate a
return an investor may receive from a security if he
holds it until maturity.
• However, if an investor sells the debt instrument
before its maturity, the yield to maturity formula
will not tell how much return he gets from the debt
instrument.
23. Rate of Return
• If an investor sells a security before its
maturity, he can evaluate how much return
he earned by holding the security for a given
period by using “Rate of Return” formula.
• The rate of return takes into account both
purchase price and sales price of a security
and any payments between.
24. Formula of Rate of Return
C + Pt+1 - Pt
R = —————— x 100
Pt
R: Rate of Return
Pt: Price of bond in year t
Pt+1: Price of bond in year t+1
C: Total coupon payment between year t and
year t+1
Formula #6:
25. Use of Rate of Return Formula
• The rate of return formula is often used to
evaluate a return from investment on a
particular security by a saver.
• In general, in year t, a saver purchased a
security at Pt and in t+1 (any time after year t)
he sells it at Pt+1.
• For example, a saver purchased a security at
$950 (Pt) last year (t), has received $80 annual
coupon payment (C), and sells it at $980 (Pt+1)
today (t+1).
26. Example of Rate of Return
You bought a bond at $990 last year,
received $50 annual coupon payment, and
just sold at $1,000 today.
R = (50+1,000-990)/990 x 100
= 6.06%
27. Components of Rate of Return
The rate of return formula can be decomposed into two
terms (sources of returns):
C + Pt+1 - Pt C Pt+1 - Pt
R = —————— = ——— + ————
Pt Pt Pt
• The first term C/Pt is a current yield.
It tells a part of return coming from coupon payments.
• The second term Pt+1-Pt/Pt is a rate of capital gain.
It tells the other part of return coming from a change in a price
of security over time. If there is no change in price, this term
28. Example of Decomposition of Rate of
Return
You bought a bond at $990 last year,
received $50 annual coupon payment, and
just sold at $1,000 today.
R = 50/990 + (1,000-990)/990
= 5.05% + 1.01%
= 6.06%
• Of 6.06% rate of return, 5.05% comes from
coupon payment, while 1.01% comes from an
increase in price of bond over one year period.
29. Capital Gain
• Capital gain: You sell a security at higher
price than the price at which you bought.
• Rate of capital gain: (Pt+1 - Pt)/Pt
• Ex. You bought a bond at $990 last year,
received $50 coupon payment, and just sold
at $1,000 today.
RCG = (1,000-990)/990 = 1.01%
30. Capital Loss
• You may not always have a capital gain. Often a
price of financial instrument or asset falls, then you
loose its value and end up to sell at well lower price
than what you paid for (Capital loss).
• Will you get a capital gain or capital loss from your
textbook when you sell it? How about your car?
• Often, prices of financial instruments such as stocks
and bonds fall over a certain period of time and
investors are suffered from capital losses.
31. Rate of Return on Investment
• You can use the rate of return formula on any
financial instrument and assets.
– Example: Stock – Michelle purchased Apple stock
at $396.75 on August 1, 2011 and sold it at
$614.32 on July 19, 2012, and received no
dividend over one year period.
– Example: House – Mr. Jones purchased a house at
$100,000 in 1991 and sold it at $158,000 this year.
– Example: Textbook – you purchased a textbook at
$120 at the beginning of the semester and plan to
sell it at $40 at the end of the semester.
32. Internal Rate of Return
• One problem of the rate of return formula is that it
does not take into account of time span of the
investment. It does not matter how long a saver holds
it, the resulting rate of return is the same.
• The internal rate of return takes into account cash
flows on timeline, and is the most accurate
measurement of rate of return on investment.
• First, draw cash flows on timeline, including
purchase price (as outflow) and sales price (as
inflow). Then, apply the business calculator or
Microsoft Excel to compute the internal rate of return.
33. Example of Internal Rate of Return
Steven purchased a U.S. Treasury bond at $960 in 2013, received
an annual coupon payment of $80 in 2014 and 2015, and sold it at
$990 in 2015. The cash flows on timeline should look

Like the yield to maturity, you solve for i: i = 9.8%
34. Real and Nominal Interest Rates
• Real interest rate: The interest rate that is adjusted
for the inflation rate.
• Formula #7 (Fisher Equation): i = r + π
i: Nominal interest rate
r: Real interest rate
π: Inflation rate
35. Inflation and Value of Money
• As the price level increases (inflation), a value of future
cash flows (purchasing power of money in future)
decreases.
– A dollar in future can buy less than a dollar today.
• An interest rate that a borrower promises to pay tells a
lender how much a principle increases over time or how
much dollar he will pay back.
– 5% interest rate means your $100 will increase its value to
$105 next year.
• Due to inflation, future cash flows will not buy as many
goods and services as they could without inflation, so a
lender is actually getting less than 5% in terms of value.
– An interest rate promised by a borrower does not promise
whether you can buy more or less in future from that payment.
36. Inflation and Interest Rate
• If you can get 20% interest rate on your saving, will it
be a good deal? What will happen if an inflation rate
is 50%?
– Your $100 can buy 50 Big Macs (at $2 each) today.
– If you loan your $100 at 20% annual interest rate, you will
get $120 next year.
– With 50% inflation rate, a price of Big Mac will increase to
$3 (= $2 x 1.5).
– Then, your $120 future cash flow can buy 40 Big Macs (=
$120/$3) next year.
– Are you really getting 20% return from your loan or
loosing it?
• What it really matters is not how much dollar ($120)
you get in future, but how much (40 Big Macs) you
can buy from that cash flow in future.
37. Real Interest Rates
• Real interest rate: The interest rate that is adjusted
for the inflation rate.
• Formula #7 (Fisher Equation): i = r + π
i: Nominal interest rate
r: Real interest rate
π: Inflation rate
• A real interest rate on a security tells you how
much more goods and services you can purchase in
future out of payments from that security.
38. Example of Real Interest Rate
You bought a 1-year CD at 5% (nominal) interest rate
last year. During the last one year, the inflation rate was
3%. How much is a real interest rate on the CD?
i = 5% and π = 3%
⇒ 5% = r + 3%
⇒ r = 2%
Although you get 5% more cash from this CD than what
you put in last year, its value decreased by 3%, so you
can actually purchase only 2% more goods and services
this year than last year.
39. Nominal vs. Real Interest Rate
• Both lenders and borrowers must be concerned
with the real interest rate rather than the nominal
interest rate.
– Even if a nominal interest rate is high, if an inflation
rate is also high, the real interest rate may be low.
• Lenders want high real interest rate, while
borrowers want low real interest rate.
– Higher the real interest rate, more the lenders are
willing to lend their funds.
– Lower the real interest rate, more the borrowers are
willing to borrow funds.
40. Examples of Real and Nominal Interest
Rates
• You loaned $100 to your brother at 10% interest
rate one year ago, and he returns $110 today. Last
one year, the inflation rate was 10%. Did you gain
from this investment (loan) to your brother? Did
your brother loose from this loan from you? How
much was a real interest rate?
• If you expect an inflation rate will be 3%, are you
willing to loan your funds at 1%, 3%, or 5% of
nominal interest rate? How much will be a real
interest rate?
41. Real Interest Rate, Nominal Interest Rate,
and Inflation
• Because we live in an economy with
continuous inflation, a nominal interest rate is
always greater than a real interest rate.
• Inflation rate changes from year to year, so a
difference between a nominal interest rate and
a real interest rate also changes.
42. Figure 1: Real and Nominal Interest Rates, 1953-2011
A vertical distance between a blue line (nominal interest rate) and a
brown line (real interest rate) is an inflation rate (as indicated in a red
arrow) on this chart.
43. Inflation Rate and Actual Real Interest Rate
• When a saver purchases a bond or loans a fund, he knows
future cash flows and a nominal interest rate, but uncertain
how much those future cash flows actually worth (how much
goods and services you can buy with cash flows).
• A saver must make a guess on inflation rate (i.e. 3%). If he
wants 5% real interest rate, then he must ask 8% nominal
interest rate on a bond.
• However, no one can predict future inflation rate precisely, so
he will get more or less actual real interest rate in reality.
– If an actual inflation rate happens to be 3%, then he will get 5% real
interest rate as he expected.
– If an actual inflation rate happens to be 1%, then he will get 7% real
interest rate
– If an actual inflation rate happens to be 6%, then he will get only 2%
real interest rate
44. Inflation-Indexed Bonds
• Inflation-Indexed bonds guarantee a real interest
rate by adjusting coupon and principal payments for
changes in price level (inflation).
– Indexed bonds have a fixed real interest rate, but nominal
interest rate varies as price level in economy changes.
– TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protection Securities) are
inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. government.
– Ex. A borrower guarantees 5% real interest rate on $100
loan. A lender will receive $108 (8% nominal interest rate)
if an actual inflation rate is 3%, or she will receive $112
(12% nominal interest rate) if an actual inflation rate is 7%.

• Dow Jones’ publishes quotes of U.S. Treasury
securities (Treasury bills, notes, and bonds)
and corporate bonds every day on the Wall
Street Journal (online only) and weekly on
Barron’s.

Editor's Notes
Rate of return = ($160 + $990 - $960)/$960 x 100 = 19.8%
Annualized rate of return = [($160 + $990)/$960]^(1/2) – 1 = 9.4%
