Understanding Interest Rates Mishkin, Chapter 4
Measuring Performance: Price, Payoff, and Return • 1 Share of Cisco Stock • You buy it now for $100 • In three months you sell it for $110 • 1 Share of Apache Stock • You buy it now for $200 • In three months you sell it for $215 • What is the correct “measuring stick?” • Payoff • Profit • Return
Returns • Returns are the “growth rate” of your investment • Investment in Cisco “grew” by 10% (110/100-1) • Investment in Apache “grew” by 7.5% • Instead of buying Apache for $200 buy two shares of Cisco for the same price • Profit is $20
Gross Returns • Gross returns measure what you get back as apercentage of the initial price. • Gross returns are simply payoff/price • Gross return from buying Cisco: • 110/100 = 110% • By investing in Cisco, you get back 110% of what you initially invested. • Gross returns above 100% are good • Gross returns below 100% are bad
Net Returns • Net returns are growth rates. • Net returns are simply payoff/price - 1 • Net return from buying Cisco: • 110/100 - 1 = 10% • Or 10/100 = 10% • Your investment grows by 10%. • Net returns above 0 are good • Net returns below 0 are bad
Growth rates and Future Value • Example: • Investment with net return of 5% per year. • Initial Investment: $100 • After first year, what is the value of investment? • After second year, what is the value of investment? • After third year, what is the value of investment?
Future Value • In general: FV=P0(1+r)n • P0= initial principal invested • r = net return on investment • N = number of time periods • Financial Calculator • N=number of time periods • PV = -initial principal (remember “-” sign) • r = net return on investment • pmt=coupons paid before end of each period (0)
Present Value • Suppose you are given the choice of two flows • Choice #1: Receive $X now • Choice #2: Receive $100 two years from now • The present value of the cash flow from choice #2 is the amount, $X, that would make you indifferent between the two choices.
Present Value • Case #1: • Suppose the cash flow from choice #2 is risk free • Risk-free accounts pay a net return of 4.5% per year • If you get $X now, you can invest it risk free and in two years get • For you to be indifferent between the two choices
Present Value • Doing some algebra • 91.57 is the “present value” of the cash flow from choice #2
Present Value • Case #2 • What if the cash flow from investment #2 is not risk-free? That is, on average you expect to get paid $100, but it could be more or less. • Choice #1: Receive $X now • Choice #2: Receive $100 two years from now with some uncertainty.
Present Value • Suppose an account exists with “similar risk” as choice #2 that pays an interest rate of 8% • Must be higher than 4.5% (risk-free rate) because of additional risk. • If you get $X now, you can invest it in the account and in two years and get • For you to be indifferent between the two choices
Present Value • In general: • FV= payoff at the end of year n • r = return on investment of similar risk as FV • N = number of time periods until money is received • Financial Calculator • N=number of time periods • FV=payoff • r = netreturn on investment of similar risk as payoff • pmt=coupons paid before end of each period (0)
Growth Rates and Time • Net returns (growth rates) are attached to a unit of time. • How can we transform growth rates to different units of time? • Example: • Account pays 1% per month • What is the growth rate per year? • Hint: the answer is not 12%! • Reason: we earn interest on interest
Growth Rates and Time • If I invest $1 in this account the money has grown to • Over one year, the net return is • A monthly growth rate of 1% is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 12.68%
Growth Rates and Time • Example: • Account pays 24% per 2 years • What is the growth rate per year? • Hint: the answer is not 12%! • Let rA = the annual growth rate • If I invest $1 in this account in two years I have
Growth Rates and Time • Solving for rA gives us • A two-year growth rate of 24% is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 11.35%
