4. Activity 1: Bond valuation
Case study: YGV Inc
Identify key points
Post some points into text chat 4

5. Case study:YGV
Massive fall in PBIT over past year. Reasons? Implications?
What is current gearing?
How is interest coverage calculated?

6. Part a: Bond valuation
INSERT calculator and pen image 6

7. Part a: Bond valuation
Bond issue? Calculate after-tax cost of debt of the 9% bonds?
Find the internal rate of return of 9% bonds (after-tax)
Find the internal rate of return using the interpolation method 7

8. Part a: Bond valuation Interpolation formula:
See formula pg 41 unit 4 text. Also graph pg 35 unit 4 text
Note - After-tax interest payment = $9 x (1 – 0.30)
= $6.30 per bond
First identify the cash flows. What are these?
What would be a sensible choice for the interest rate to use to discount cash flows? 8

9. Part a: Bond valuation
NPV at 8% is positive. Should we now choose a higher or lower interest rate to discount?
Generally we would choose a higher discount rate but because the cash flows are unusual, with an cash inflow in year 0 and then cash outflows we need to choose a lower discount rate. 9

10. Part a: Bond valuation
What will the approximate IRR be? 10

11. Part a: Bond valuation Interpolation formula:
6 + [(8 – 6) x (7.75)/((7.75) )] = = 7.10% 11

12. Part b: WACC
If you are asked to calculate the effect on the WACC you need to calculate
The current WACC
The new WACC
Comment on the difference
What is the current WACC? 12

13. Part b: WACC
It depends on whether the overdraft is considered to be long term finance.
What do you think? 13

14. Part b: WACC State your assumptions.
Current market capitalisation = 10m x $4.10 = $41m
Overdraft = $4.5m
If overdraft is long term finance (reasonable assumption here) Then gearing is
Debt 10% approx(4.5/41+4.5)
Equity 90% approx (41/41+4.5) 14

15. Part b: The WACC WACC = D/D+E x Rd x (1-T) + E/D+E x Re
= debt gearing x cost of debt + equity gearing x cost of equity
= 0.10 x 0.05 x (1-0.30) x 0.12 =
= or 11.15%
Note that without any debt, the WACC would be the same as the current cost of equity, which is 12%.
What is the new WACC? 15

16. Part b: The WACC WACC = D/D+E x Rd x (1-T) + E/D+E x Re
= debt gearing x cost of debt + equity gearing x cost of equity
= 0.10 x 0.05 x (1-0.30) x 0.12 =
= or 11.15%
Note that without any debt, the WACC would be the same as the current cost of equity, which is 12%.
What is the new WACC? 16

17. Part b: The WACC First calculate new gearing. What is this?
Then find cost of debt and equity. What are these?
Then put figures into the formula.
You try and post your solutions into text chat 17

18. Part b: The WACC New gearing is Debt 9% approx(4 /41+4)
Equity 91% approx (41/41+4)
Cost of debt is 7.1% from part a
Cost of equity remains at 12% (How realistic is this?) 18

19. Part b: The WACC WACC = D/D+E x Rd x (1-T) + E/D+E x Re
= debt gearing x cost of debt + equity gearing x cost of equity
0.09 x x 0.12
or 11.56%
How has this changed compared to the current situation? Why?
Is it realistic that cost of equity would remain unchanged? 19

20. Part c: Interest coverage
Current interest = $4.5 m x 5% = $225,000 per year
Current interest coverage ratio = 1m/0.225 = 4.44 times
Interest from bond issue = $4m x 9% = $360,000 per year
Revised interest coverage ratio = 1m/0·360 = 2·78 times
Comments? 20

21. Part c: Gearing
Market capitalisation of YGV Inc. = 10 m shares x $4·10 = $41 million
Current gearing using market values, excluding overdraft = zero or 11% with overdraft
Revised gearing using market values, after bond issue, = 4,000/41,000 = 9.76%
NB Note different formula for gearing used to be able to compare with sector average
Comments? 21

22. Part d: Evaluate sources of finance
Spend 3 minutes reviewing the information.
Evaluate the proposal. What points to include?
Alternative sources of finance. Suggestions?
Post your ideas 22

23. Part d: Evaluate sources of finance
Investor perception (shareholders and prospective debt holders)?
Collateral required?
Overdraft as a source of finance?
Future? 23

24. Part d: Evaluate sources of finance
Alternatives?
Equity – rights issue?
Sale and leaseback?
Convertible bonds?
Improve working capital management ? 24

25. Activity 2: Interest rate risk
What is interest rate risk?
How can interest rate risk be managed?

26. Activity 2: Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the company will change as a result of changes in interest rates
Manage by assessing exposure and:
Do nothing, OR
Change source of finance/ investment, OR
Maintain source of finance/ investment and use a complementary financial instrument (financial derivative)

27. Activity 2: Interest rate risk
Summarise Katmai case
What are the key points?

28. Activity 2: Interest rate risk
What are:
Floating-rate notes
Basis points
LIBOR

29. Activity 2: Interest rate risk
Example of yield curve from Unit 3

30. Part a: Alternative choices
Do nothing….
Depends on
- risk attitude of management
- diversification in international market
- magnitude of interest costs

31. Part a: Alternative choices
Issue fixed rate bonds and buy back floating-rate notes…
This will reduce risk but is expensive. Arrangement fees, underwriting costs are 2-3% of the value of the loan

32. Part a: Alternative choices
Use a derivative….how can Katmai use an interest rate swap?

33. Part a: Interest rate risk
Reminder of swap diagram from Unit 3 with swap cash flows and original borrowing

34. Part a: Interest rate risk
Katmai is paying a variable rate, when LIBOR rises, so will Katmai’s interest costs.
Katmai may chose to ‘swap’ the variable rate paid in order to pay a fixed rate. A fixed rate will give certainty about interest costs in a rising interest rate scenario.
Of course, interest rates may not rise as indicated in the yield curve…

35. Part b: Estimating interest rate
10 - year swap rates are quoted at 5.25 – 5.40.
These are fixed rates.
Note that bank sells high and buys low so bank sells money (lends at 5.40%) and buys money (borrows) at 5.25%.

36. Part b: Interest rate risk
If entering into a swap, Katmai will want to receive a variable rate (to negate variable rate that it is paying at present) and pay a fixed rate so will pay 5.40% and receive LIBOR
Pays 5.4 %
Company
Bank (market maker)
Receives LIBOR
Pays LIBOR plus 1.2%
Investors

37. Part b: Interest rate risk
The cost to Katmai will be 5.40% plus 1.20% or 6.60%.
The six monthly interest rate under a vanilla swap given the quoted spread would be 6.60%/2 = 3.3%
The six-monthly rate is 3·30% or an effective annual rate: EAR = 1·03302 – 1 = 6·71%

38. Activity 3 Toyco
I will send model answers to this question with the tutorial slides and hope that you will have an opportunity to discuss these in your tutor group forums

39. B392 case study guidance Have you?
Considered the broader setting of the case
Considered the source of information as presented in the case (often there is disagreement between different people in the case study, who have different perspectives)
Balanced your technical knowledge to reflect the constraints that may appear in the case. That is, the theoretically best approach may not work in every organisation.
The key features of using a case study for summative assessment at level three is that it requires students to extract relevant information from a longer description rather than being simply presented with numbers in isolation. It also allows for the situation to be ambiguous and allows them to question the objectivity of the information presented. It is a small step towards providing a more realistic situation for them to analyse. With this in mind things to look for are that the student has:
