ADM 2350 Lecture Notes - Interest Rate Risk, Premium Bond, Risk Premium
Document Summary
If the ytm is greater than the coupon rate, the par value is greater than the bond price and it is a discount bond/bond price. If the ytm is less than the coupon rate, the par value is less than the bond price and it is a premium bond/bond price. The longer the term to maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. The lower the coupon rate, the greater the interest rate risk. R = nominal rate of interest r = real rate of interest h= expected inflation rate. Factors affecting required return: default risk premium bond rating. If dividends are expected at regular intervals forever, then this valued as a perpetuity. The price grows at the same rate as the dividends in the constant growth model. Suppose a firm is expected to increase dividends by 20% in one year and by 15% in two years. After that dividends will increase at a rate of 5% per year indefinitely.
