CHAPTER 11

INTRODUCTION TO SECURITY VALUATION

TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS

(f) 1 The three step valuation process consists of 1) analysis of alternative economies and markets, 2) analysis of alternative industries and 3) analysis of industry influences.

(t) 2 The two components that are required in order to carry out asset valuation are 1) the stream of expected cash flows and 2) the required rate of return.

(t) 3 The general economic influences would include inflation, political upheavals, monetary policy, and fiscal policy initiatives.

(f) 4 Given an optimistic economic and stock-market outlook for a country, the investor should underweight the allocation to this country in his/her portfolio.

(t) 5 The importance of an industry's performance on an individual stock's performance varies across industries.

(t) 6 If the intrinsic value of an asset is greater than the market price, you would want to buy the investment.

(t) 7 The most difficult part of valuing a bond is determining the required rate of return on this investment.

(f) 8 The required rate of return is determined by 1) the real risk free rate, 2) the expected rate of inflation and 3) liquidity risk.

(f) 9 The price of a bond can be calculated by discounting future coupons over the bonds life by the yield to maturity.

(f) 10 The growth rate of dividends and profit margin are the main determinants of the P/E ratio.

(t) 11 The dividend growth models are only meaningful for companies that have a required rate of return that exceeds their dividend growth rate.

(t) 12 An example of a relative valuation technique is the Price/Cash Flow ratio. (f) 13 Discounted cash flow techniques for equity valuation may use one of the

following 1) dividends, 2) Free cash flow or 3) coupons. (f) 14 In dividend discount models (DDM) with supernormal growth, supernormal growth may continue indefinitely. (t) 15 The real risk free rate depends on the real growth in the economy and for short period by temporary tightness or ease in capital markets. (t) 16 The risk premium is impacted by business risk, financial risk, and liquidity risk.

THE following INFORMATION IS FOR THE NEXT TWO PROBLEMS A stock currently trades for $120 per share. Options on the stock are available with a strike price

of $125. The options expire in 30 days. The risk free rate is 3% over this time period, and the

expected volatility is 0.35.

(d) 1 Use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the price of a call option. a) $5.935 b) $4.935 c) $3.935 d) $2.935 e) None of the above

(a) 2 Calculate the price of the put option. a) $7.623 b) $8.623 c) $9.623 a) $10.623 b) None of the above

USE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO ANSWER THE NEXT THREE QUESTIONS The information provided is relevant in the context of a one period (one year) binomial option pricing model. A stock currently trades at $50 per share, a call option on the stock has an exercise price of $45. The stock is equally likely to rise by 25% or fall by 25%. The one-year risk free rate is 2%. (b) 19 Calculate the possible prices of the stock one year

from today a) $37.50 or $17.50. b) $62.50 or $37.50. c) $62.50 or $17.50. d) $50 or $45. e) None of the above.

(a) 20 Estimate n, the number of call options that must be written a) -1.4286 b) -2.9286 c) -2.8571 d) -2.5714 e) -1.1111

(c) 21 Calculate the price of the call option today (C0) a) $7.56 b) $17.48 c) $9.26 d) $5.0 e) $17.15

1 Price using the B-S option pricing model d1 = ln(120/125) + [(.03 + 5(.352))(.0833)]/(.35(.0833.5)) = -0.3288 d2 = -0.3288 - (.35(.0833.5)) = -0.4298 N(d1) = 0.3712 N(d2) = 0.3337 Call price = Pc = 120[0.3712 – 125(e-.03(.0833))(0.3337]

= $2.935 2 Put price = 2.935 + 125(e-.03(.0833)) – 120 = $7.623 19 If the stock rises the price one year for now will be =

50(1 + 0.25) = $62.50 If the stock falls the price one year for now will be =

50(1 - 0.25) = $37.50 20 Current stock price = $50 Exercise price = $45 Risk free rate = 2% Price in one year if stock rises = 50(1.25) = $62.50 Price in one year if stock declines = 50(1.25) = $37.50 Intrinsic value of call option if stock rises to $62.50 =

Max[0, 62.50 – 45] = $17.50 Intrinsic value of call option if stock falls to $37.50 =

Max[0, 37.50 – 45] = $0 Estimate the number calls needed by setting: The hedge portfolio will consist of one share of stock held

long plus some number of call options written. Value of hedge portfolio if stock rises = Value of hedge portfolio if stock falls

62.50 + (17.5)(n) = 37.50 + (0)(n) n = -1.4286 21 Value of hedge portfolio today = 50 – (1.4286)(C0) =

37.5/(1.02) C0 = $9.26
