5.2 How to Value Bonds
Identify the size and timing of cash flows.
Discount at the correct discount rate.
If you know the price of a bond and the size and
timing of cash flows, the yield to maturity is the
discount rate.

5.3 Bond Concepts
1. Bond prices and market interest rates move in opposite
directions.
2. When coupon rate = YTM, price = par value.
When coupon rate > YTM, price > par value (premium
bond)
When coupon rate < YTM, price < par value (discount
bond)
3. A bond with longer maturity has higher relative (%) price
change than one with shorter maturity when interest rate
(YTM) changes. All other features are identical.
4. A lower coupon bond has a higher relative price change
than a higher coupon bond when YTM changes. All other
features are identical.

Holding Period Return
Suppose that on January 1, 2002, you bought the above
6.375 coupon Government of Canada bond with semi-annual
payments, and a maturity date of December 31, 2009.
At that time the YTM was 5-percent, and you paid $1,089.75
(the PV of the bond).
Six months later (July 1, 2002), You sold the bond when the
YTM was 4-percent. The size and timing of cash flows (as of

Case 3: 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 dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Estimate the future stock price when the stock
becomes a Constant Growth Stock (case 2).
Compute the total present value of the estimated
future dividends and future stock price at the
appropriate discount rate.

5.5 Estimates of Parameters in the
Dividend-Discount Model
The value of a firm depends upon its growth
rate, g, and its discount rate, r.
Where does g come from?
Where does r come from?
McGraw-Hill Ryerson
2003 McGrawHill Ryerson Limited
5-32
Where does g come from?
Formula for Firms Growth Rate (g):
The firm will experience earnings growth if its net
investment (total investment-depreciation) is
positive.
To grow, the firm must retain some of its earnings.
This leads to:
Earnings
next Year
Earnings
this Year
Retained
earnings
this Year
Return on
retained
earnings
= +
McGraw-Hill Ryerson
2003 McGrawHill Ryerson Limited
5-33
This leads to the formula for the firms growth rate:
g = Retention ratio Return on retained earnings
The return on retained earnings can be estimated
using the firms historical return on equity (ROE)
Where does g come from?
Dividing both sides by this years earnings, we get:
Earnings this Year
Earnings next Year
1
Retained earnings
this Year
Return on
retained
earnings
= +
Earnings this Year
1 + g Retention ratio
McGraw-Hill Ryerson
2003 McGrawHill Ryerson Limited
5-34
Where does g come from? An Example
Ontario Book Publishers (OBP) just reported
earnings of $1.6 million, and it plans to retain 28-
percent of its earnings.
If OBPs historical ROE was 12-percent, what is the
expected growth rate for OBPs earnings?
With the above formula:
g = 0.28 0.12 = 0.0336 = 3.36%
Or:
Total earnings
Change in earnings
=
$1.6 million
(0.28$1.6 million)0.12
= 0.0336
McGraw-Hill Ryerson
2003 McGrawHill Ryerson Limited
5-35
In practice, there is a great deal of estimation
error involved in estimating r.
The discount rate can be broken into two
parts.
The dividend yield
The growth rate (in dividends)
From the constant growth cas, we can write:
Where does r come from?

r + =

McGraw-Hill Ryerson

5-36
Where does r come from? An Example
Manitoba Shipping Co. (MSC) is expected to pay a
dividend next year of $8.06 per share. Future
Dividends for MSC are expected to grow at a rate of
2% per year indefinitely.
If an investor is currently willing to pay $62.00 per
one MSC share, what is her required return for this
investment?
With the above formula:
r = (8.06/62) + 0.02 = 0.15 = 15%

5.6 Growth Opportunities
Growth opportunities are opportunities to
invest in positive NPV projects.
The value of a firm can be conceptualized as
the sum of the value of a firm that pays out
100-percent of its earnings as dividends and
the net present value of the growth
opportunities.

5.7 The Dividend Growth Model and the
NPVGO Model (Advanced)
We have two ways to value a stock:
The dividend discount model.
The price of a share of stock can be calculated as
the sum of its price as a cash cow plus the per-
share value of its growth opportunities.
McGraw-Hill Ryerson
2003 McGrawHill Ryerson Limited
5-39
The Dividend Growth Model and the
NPVGO Model
Consider a firm that has EPS of $5 at the end of the
first year, a dividend-payout ratio of 30-percent, a
discount rate of 16-percent, and a return on retained
earnings of 20-percent.
The dividend at year one will be $5 .30 = $1.50 per share.
The retention ratio is .70 ( = 1 -.30) implying a growth rate
in dividends of 14% = .70 20%

5.8 Price Earnings Ratio
Many analysts frequently relate earnings per share to
price.
The price earnings ratio is a.k.a the multiple
Calculated as current stock price divided by annual EPS
The National Post uses last 4 quarters earnings
Firms whose shares are in fashion sell at high
multiples. Growth stocks for example.
Firms whose shares are out of favour sell at low
multiples. Value stocks for example.

Other Price Ratio Analysis
Many analysts frequently relate earnings per
share to variables other than price, e.g.:
Price/Cash Flow Ratio
cash flow = net income + depreciation = cash flow
from operations or operating cash flow
Price/Sales
current stock price divided by annual sales per share
Price/Book (a.k.a. Market to Book Ratio)
price divided by book value of equity, which is
measured as assets - liabilities
