Why Cost of Capital is Important

- We know that the return earned on assets depends on the risk of those assets. - The return to an investor is the same as the cost to the company. - Our cost of capital provides us with an indication of how the market views the risk of our assets. - Knowing our cost of capital can also help us determine our required return for capital budgeting projects

Announcements & News

- contain both an expected component and a surprise/unexpected component - It is the surprise component that affects a stock's price and therefore its return. - This is very obvious when we watch how stock prices move when an unexpected announcement is made or earnings are different than anticipated

Measuring Systematic Risk

- use beta coefficient A beta of 1 implies the asset has the same systematic risk as the overall market A beta < 1 implies the asset has less systematic risk than the overall market A beta > 1 implies the asset has more systematic risk than the overall market

Required Return vs Cost of Capital

The terms required return, appropriate discount rate, and cost of capital essentially mean the same thing If the required return on an investment is 10%, we mean the investment will have a positive NPV only if its return exceeds 10% the firm must earn 10% on the investment to compensate investors for the use of the capital needed to finance the project Furthermore, 10% is the cost of capital associated with the investment Cost of capital associated with an investment depends on the risk

Financial Policy & Cost of Capital

The particular mixture of debt and equity a firm chooses to employ—its capital structure—is a managerial variable - we will assume the firm has a fixed debt-equity ratio that it maintains - This ratio reflects the firm's target capital structure• Recall, a firm's overall cost of capital will reflect the required return on the firm's assets as a whole - Thus, a firm's cost of capital will reflect both its cost of debt capital and its cost of equity capital

Treasury Securities

PV = -548 I/Y = 13.2 FV = 1000 PMT = 65

Yield or Yield to maturity (I/Y)

internal rate of return required in the market for the bond. Rate required for the present value of all the future cash flows of the bond (face value and coupon payments) to equal the current bond price

Variance

measure of volatility because it measures how much a stock tends to deviate from its mean. The higher the variance, the more wildly the stock fluctuates.Accordingly, the higher the variance, the riskier the stock

Risk return trade off

- low risk = low potential return - high risk = high potential return

Coupon rate

annual coupon divided by face value

Par value (FV)

face value or principal amount, repaid at maturity, stated in values of $100, $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, etc.

Total coupon payments (N)

frequency of coupon payments each year times thenumber of years to bond maturity

YTM vs coupon rate

- If YTM = coupon rate, then par value = bond price - If YTM > coupon rate, then par value > bond price - If YTM < coupon rate, then par value < bond price

Features of Common Stock

- Voting Rights - Proxy voting - Classes of stock: A and B impacting voting rights Other Rights - Share proportionally in declared dividends - Share proportionally in remaining assets during liquidation - Preemptive right: first shot at new stock issue to maintain proportional ownership if desired

Interest rates vs bond values

- When interest rates rise, the present value of the bond's remaining cash flows declines, and the bond is worth less - When interest rates fall, the bond is worth more

Standard deviation

- often used by investors to measure the risk of a stock or a stock portfolio. The basic idea is that the standard deviation is a measure of volatility: the more a stock's returns vary from the stock's average return, the more volatile the stock - measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean. A volatile stock has a high standard deviation, while the deviation of a stable blue-chip stock is usually rather low. As a downside, it calculates all uncertainty as risk, even when it's in the investor's favor—such as above average returns
