Bonds • Bonds are another way for companies to raise money • Regular Bonds • Callable Bonds • Zero Coupon Bonds • In a regular bond, you purchase the bond and will subsequently be paid interest and the face value after a set amount of time • It’s like a bank loan only you are the banker • You are lending the company money in return for interest payments
Bond Lingo • Par Value (Face Value) • The amount you receive when the bond matures • Coupon payment • The interest payment you receive while holding the bond • Coupon rate • The rate of interest for the coupon payments • Maturity • Bonds don’t go on forever, eventually they mature, and you are paid the par value
Bond Lingo • Yield (Yield to maturity) • The rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date. • YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. • The calculation of YTM takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. • It is also assumed that all coupons are reinvested at the same rate. Sometimes this is simply referred to as "yield" for short
Bond Pricing • TVM steps for bond pricing: • Calculate the coupon payment • Identify the number of payments and adjusted interest rate • Solve the annuity problem regarding the coupon payments • You also have to shift the par value of the bond (that you receive at maturity) to the present day • Sum annuity and single sum • So you really have a single sum and a separate annuity
Bond Formulas • Bond price today • Discounted value of coupon payments • . • Discounted value of Face Value • .
