Capital ) meet ,i.e. the rate at which the
lenders are ready to lend and buyers
are ready to buy.
• Equilibrium Price (Interest rate ) varies

40. Required Return
• It reflects the fund suppliers level of
expected return.
• The minimum annual percentage earned
by an investment that will induce
individuals or companies to put money
into a particular security or project
• The required rate of return (RRR) is
used in both equity valuation and in
corporate finance.
41. Determinants of Markets
Interest Rate
• The quoted (or nominal) interest rate on
a debt security (k) is composed of a real
risk-free rate of interest ,K* plus
several premium that reflect inflation,
the risk of the security, and the
marketability (or Liquidity).
K=K* + IP + DRP + LP + MRP + SR
42. Determinants of Markets
Interest Rate
• K= The quoted or nominal rate of
interest on a given security
• K*= The real risk-free rate of interest
• IP= Inflation Premium
• DRP= Default Risk Premium
• LP= Liquidity Premium
• MRP= Maturity Risk Premium
• SP= Sovereign Risk
43. Real Risk-Free Rate of Interest
(K*)
• K* is defined as the interest rate that would
exist on a government –issued security (T-Bill)
with a guaranteed payoff if no inflation were
expected.
• The government –issued securities are
considered as risk-free , since the chances of
default of a government are minimal.
• Internationally the US T-bills are considered
as risk –free rate of return.
44. Nominal/Quoted risk-free rate
of interest (Krf)
• Krf is defined as the rate of interest on a
security that is free of all risk.
• It is composed of both the real risk-
free (k*) rate of interest and inflation
Premium (IP).
Krf = K* + IP
45. Risk Premiums
• Inflation Premium (IP) :The expected average
inflation over a life of the investment or
security is usually inculcated in the nominal
interest rate by the issuer of security to
cover the inflation risk.
• Default Risk Premium (DRP): Default refers
to the risk that the company might go
bankrupt or close down & bonds or shares
issued by the company may collapse.
46. Risk Premiums
• Liquidity Premium (LP) : A premium that
investors will demand when any given security
cannot be easily converted into cash , and
converted at the fair market value.
• Maturity Risk Premium (MRP): The Maturity
Risk Premium is linked to life of the security
investment. The longer the maturity period ,
the higher the maturity risk premium.
47. Risk Premiums
• Sovereign Risk Premium (SRP) :
Sovereign Risk is the additional risk
associated with investing in an
international company rather than the

developed nations.
49. Term Structure Of Interest
Rate
• Term Structure of Interest Rates show the
relationship between the interest rate and
the term to maturity of securities.
• Yield Curve: Yield Curve depicts the term
structure of Interest rates.
• It is a graph of the relationship between the
debts remaining time to maturity (x axis) and
its yield to maturity (y axis).
51. Inverted Yield Curve
• Inverted Yield Curve is a downward
sloping yield curve that indicates
generally cheaper long-term borrowing
costs than short-term borrowing costs.
52. Normal Yield Curve
• Normal Yield Curve is an upward-
slopping yield curve that indicates
generally cheaper short-term borrowing
costs than long-term borrowing costs.
53. Problems

rate. The bond has 12 years remaining to its
maturity date.

bond when the required return is :
(1) 7% (2) 8% and(3) 10%
b. Indicate for each case in part A whether the bond is
selling at a discount, at a premium, or at its par
value.
c. Using the 10% required return , find the bond’s value
when interest is paid annually.

56. Problems
• You have two assets and must calculate
their values today based on their
different payment streams and
appropriate required returns .Asset 1
has a required return of 15% and will
produce a stream of 10% and will
produce an end-of-year cash flow of
$1200 in the first year, $1500 in the
second year, and $850 in its third and
final year.
57. Problems
• Midland Utilities has outstanding a bond
issue that will mature to its $1000 par value
in 12 years. The bond has a coupon interest
rate of 11% and pays interest annually.
i. Find the value of the bond if the required
return is (1) 11%, (2) 15% and (3) 8%.
ii. Plot your findings in part A on a set of
required return (x axis) –market value of
bond (y axis) axes.
59. Cost Of Equity
• Cost of equity share capital may be
defined as the minimum rate of return
that a firm must earn on the equity part
of the total investment in project in
order to leave unchanged the market
price of such share,
60. Cost Of Equity
• For the determination of cost of equity
capital it may be divided into two
categories:
External equity or new issue of equity
shares.
Retained Earnings
61. Cost Of External Equity, Ke
• The cost of common stock equity is the
rate at which investor discount the
expected dividends of the firm to
determine its share value.
62. Cost Of Common Stock ke
• Dividend Yield/ Dividend Price Approach
• Dividend Yield plus Growth in dividend
Methods
• Earnings Yield Method
• CAPM Approach
63. Dividend Yield/ Dividend Price
Approach
• According to this approach , the cost of
equity will be the rate of expected
dividends which will maintain the
present market price of equity shares.
• It ignores the importance of retained
earnings on the market price of equity
shares.
65. Dividend yield plus Growth in
dividend methods
• According to this method , the cost of
equity is determined on the basis of the
expected dividend rate plus the rate of
growth in dividend.
• This method is used when dividends are
expected to grow at a constant rate.
66. Dividend yield plus Growth in
dividend methods
Ke=D1/NP+g (For new equity shares)
Ke=D1/MP+g (for existing equity shares)
• g=growth rate in dividend
• D1=Expected dividend per share at the
end of the year =D0(1+g)
67. Earning Yield Method
• According to this approach , the cost of
equity is the discount rate that
capitalizes a stream of future earnings
to evaluate the shareholdings. It is
called by taking earnings per share
(EPS) into consideration.
68. Earning Yield Method
Ke=EPS/NP (For new equity shares)
Ke= EPS/MP (For existing equity shares)
• EPS=Earning Per Share
= Net Profit Available to Common
Stock / Number of Shares Outstanding
69. CAPM Approach
Ke= Rrf +(Rm-Rrf) × β
Rrf = The expected risk –free return in
market (government bond yield)
• Rm= Average return on market Portfolio
• β= Beta co-efficient for a particular
company = The sensitivity to market
risk for the security.
70. Cost Of Retain Earnings (kr)
• Retain earnings refer to undistributed
profits of a firm.
• Retain earnings has a opportunity cost
of dividends that are earned by the
stockholder if they receive such
earnings as dividend and invest this is
another investment alternatives.
• Hence , shareholders expect a return on
retained earnings at least equity.
71. Cost Of Retain Earnings (kr)
• So the cost of Retain Earnings Kr is
approximately equal to Ke.
Kr =Ke= D1/MP+g
72. Cost Of Retain Earnings (kr)
• While calculating cost of retained
earnings, two adjustment should be
made:
• Income Tax Adjustment
• Adjustment for Brokerage Cost
73. Cost Of Retain Earnings (kr)
• Therefore , after these adjustments,
cost of retained earnings is calculated
as :
• Kr = Ke × (1-t) × (1-b)
• Ke =Cost of equity
• t= Rate of tax
• b=cost of purchasing new securities or
brokerage cost.
74. Problems
• Duke Energy has been paying dividends
steadily for 20 years. During that time ,

annual rate of 7%. If Duke Energy’s
current stock price is $78 and the firm

year , what is Duke’s cost of common
stock equity?
