,Value of bonds and stocks
Bonds
Value of bonds = sum of present value of all coupon payments and face value
Face value also known as par value. If coupon rate > YTM, price of the bond will be above par
Bond Yield to maturity solves the following equation. It’s a transform of bond price and can be
used to infer bond price. Negative relationship between YTM and bond price

Stocks
Percentage Return of holding a stock = (capital gain + dividend received during
holding)/purchased price
Value of a stock = sum of all dividends (perpetuity if dividends are the same)

Gordon growth formula
Basic:
- All earnings are paid out as dividends
𝐷
𝑃𝑡 =
𝑟−𝑔
Where r is the required rate of return and g is the constant growth rate
With plowback
- Some earnings are kept within the firm, generating growth in the future
- Payout ratio + plowback ratio = 1
- Payout ratio(𝟏 − 𝝆): is the ratio of dividends to earnings.
- Plowback ratio (𝝆): is the proportion of earnings retained by the firm and used
- for investment.
- Return on equity(ROE): a measure of the amount of earnings that a Dollar of equity (book
value) creates.

, - The difference in value between the firm that plows back earnings and the firm that
doesn’t is called the present value of growth opportunities(PVGO)

𝐸𝑃𝑆
- If ROE = r, the equation above simplifies to 𝑃 = 𝑟 1, the two firms would be worth the
same amount.
- If ROE > r, the shock price of the firm with growth will be greater than the firm with no
growth.

- E/P ratio is not a good measure of required returns because they will understate required
returns for firms with large PVGO
