1. SOURCES OF FINANCE
1.1. Overview of Financial Markets
This topic identifies the sources of finance namely Debt and Equity capital.
Source of debt and equity is the financial market.
Financial Market is a place through which securities are created and traded.
There are several different types of financial markets:-
(a). Physical Asset Markets.
These are the tangible assets e.g. maize, cars, real estate, and
computers e.t.c.
(b). Financial Asset Markets
These deal with stocks, bonds, mortgages and other financial
instruments which are merely claims on real estate.
(c). Continuous Markets & Call Markets
Some markets operate on a continuous basis during opening hours
whilst some markets trade at specific times during opening hours e.g.
the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange open at 0900 and 1200 hours these
are the call markets.
(d). Spot Markets & Future Markets
These are terms that refer to whether the assets are being bought or
sold on the spot delivery or future delivery e.g. Zimbabwe Stock
Exchange you buy shares today and get them 7 days later.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
5/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
5of 123
When an asset is bought or sold for future delivery at some date then it
is traded in future market.
(e). Primary & Secondary Markets
Primary markets are markets in which companies raise new capitaleither by a bond issue or issue of new stock.
Secondary marketsare markets already in existence in which securities
are traded amongst investor.
NOTE:The issuer of the security does not receive any proceeds from
the sale of the security in a secondary market.
(f). Private & Public Markets
In Private Markets transactions are negotiated directly between two
parties e.g. black market transactions.
Whereas in Public Markets standardised contracts are traded on
organised exchanges e.g. Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.
(g). Money & Capital Markets
Money markets deal with securities with maturities of 1 year or less.
Thats were we get treasury bills, call deposits, commercial paper,
bankers acceptance.
Capital markets are more concerned with instruments with maturity
greater than one year, e.g. bonds and equity.
NOTE:Capital Market is Stock Market
(h). Local & International Markets
Local Marketis when you trade within Zimbabwe
International Marketis when you trade beyond the borders of Zimbabwe
Secondary MarketsA secondary market is a market in which securities are traded. There are two
main markets to be considered: -
Organised Exchanges
Over the counter markets
Organised Exchanges
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
6/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
6of 123
- Stock markets are the most creative and most important secondary markets.
- Stock exchanges operate as auction markets as buyers and sellers are
matched.
- Examples of Stock Exchange
o Zimbabwe Stock Exchangeo New York Stock Exchange
o London Stock Exchange
o Botswana Stock Exchange
o Nairobi Stock Exchange
o Zambia Stock Exchange
NOTE:Stork Exchanges in developing countries are smaller compared to
developed countries.
Over the counter markets
- The over the counter market is an interchangeable organisation that is
used to describe any buying or selling activities in securities that does not
take place on stock exchange
- The over the counter is a dealer market in that business is conducted
across the country by brokers and dealers.
Importance of Secondary Markets
- They provide an indication of value of a company for example. The price of
an issuers shares in the secondary market will indicate the value of the
company.
- Secondary markets provide liquidity. They enable investors to sell their
shares i.e. buy shares in primary then sell in secondary market to enable
one to get in and out of market shares
- Without a healthy secondary market for shares there will only be a limited
market for new share issues.
- It provides a forum for exchange. A secondary market brings together
buyers and sellers of securities thus reducing search costs.
Listing of Stock Exchange
An exchange does not deal in securities of all companies. It has to select the
companies whose shares can be allowed to be bought and sold.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
7/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
7of 123
The companies selected for those purpose as included in the official trading list.
Certain strict standards must be met and fees paid for initial and continued
listing.
Reasons for Listing
(a). Founder Diversification
The founders of the company have most of their wealth tied up in their
company; hence by selling some of their shares in a public offering they
can diversify their shareholding thereby reducing the risk in their
personal portfolios.
(b). It increases liquidity
- Shares in a privately owned company are in liquid as they do nothave a ready market.
- Search costs are incurred in trying to locate a willing buyer.
- Furthermore there are problems in valuing the stake in that market
- However by listing these problems are usually eliminated.
(c). It facilitates the raising of new cash
- It is difficult to raise new cash by selling new stock in a private
company, the reason being the existing owners might not have the
cash or they might reluctant to put in more money in the business.
- It is even more difficult to get outsiders to invest in a private company
as they will not have sufficient voting rights and might not get a return
in the form of dividends.
(d). To establish value of Company
You can easily establish value of a listed company.
(e). Prestige
- Companies seek listing for prestige reasons meaning you have met
requirements of listing such as fees e.t.c.
- Since the company will be known it becomes easy even to borrow
because you will be known.

Disadvantages of Listing
(a). Cost of Reporting
- Listed companies are required to publish annual and semi-annualresults which are very costly.
- Accounts have to be audited and furthermore public has to be alerted
on any developments in that company that might affect the share
price.
(b). Disclosure Requirements
Disclosure of sensitive information in financial reports can give an urge to
competitors.
(c). Self Dealings
In privately owned companies there are opportunities for various types of
questionable but legal self dealings.
For example: - nepotism, payment of high salaries and perquisites (e.g.
company cars).
(d). Inactive Market or Low Price
If a company is small and shares are infrequently traded, this will result in
an under-valuation of shares.
(e). Control
Managers will not have control on the day to day running of the business
once the company is listed.
Dual Listing
- A dual listing is whereby a company is listed on more than one stock
exchange.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
9/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
9of 123
- Generally such a companys primary listing is on a stock exchange in its
country of incorporation and its secondary listing is on an exchange in
another country.
Examples of Companies in Dual Listing
- Old Mutual has primary listing in London Stock Exchange, secondary
listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and Zimbabwe Stock
Exchange
- Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC) - has primary listing on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange and secondary listing on the Zimbabwe
Stock Exchange
- Hwange Colliery - has primary listing on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange
and secondary listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
Reasons for Dual Listing
- Improved accessibility to funds the Stock Exchange provides
companies with facility to raise capital.
- To gain access to a larger investor base.
- Improved visibility and profile
Disadvantages of Dual Listing
- The company in question has to comply with listing requirements ofboth markets.
- Cost of reporting i.e. reporting required in more than one company. It
may be necessary to produce two different sets of accounts under
different standards.
- Accessibility of Information ensure prices are same on both markets
and information availed on both markets.
De-ListingIt is the process of making a public company private.
De-listing can be volunteering or it can arise because a company has fallen
short of the listing regulations.
Reasons for de-listing
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
10/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
10of 123
(a). Under-valued Shares
Directors may believe that their shares are under-valued and may
decide to de-list their company.
(b). Financial Flexibility
If the company is now able to raise debt finance it makes sense forthem to de-list as there are no further advantages to being listed.
(c). Mergers and Acquisitions
Kingdom Financial Holdings was de-listed in 2007, its now part of
Kingdom Meikles African Limited.
Same applies to Tanganda Tea Company.
Capri was de-listed in 1998 through a reverse take-over by Inscor.
(d). Financial Problems of Entities / Viability Problems
Barbican Bank was de-listed due to liquidity problems as well as Trust
Bank, Zicco Holdings was de-listed is 1997.
(e). Control issue
The directors may wish to regain independence of action that they had
as executives of privately owned company. De-listing will then free them
from much regulations and public accountability.
(f). Fear of Take-over
Companies may be liable to hostile takeovers by larger and more
established companies.
1.2. Evaluation Of Main Sources Of Finance
Two main sources of finance:
- Debt Capital
- Equity Capital
Debt capital
- This can be long term e.g. bonds and debentures or can be short term
e.g. bank overdraft or commercial paper.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
11/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
11of 123
- Long term debt is sourced from banks and other lenders of capital such
as life assurance companies or pension funds e.g. PTC Pension Fund.
- Where a company needs to fill in a short term funding gap it can use
short term debt, e.g. money market which has duration of less than a
year and is found under the current liabilities in Balance Sheet.
Advantages of using Debt Capital
- A creditor does not have voting rights does not participate in the
management of the entity.
- The use of debt is advantageous in that its interest expense is tax
deductable in calculating the taxable income.
Disadvantages of using Debt Capital
- The interest payments are contractual and principal repayment must be
made i.e. paying back interest and principal
- The lender may require security and in the event of a default the lender
has a right to repossess the asset.
- The cash drain is large since interest repayments have to be made on a
regular basis thus putting pressure on the company cash flows.
- High credits standards and a strong financial position are required for a
company to access debt capital.
1.3. Equity Issues, Rights Issues, Retained Issues
Equity Capital
- It is the most common source of financing for most companies and is
normally the first source of capital.
- Investors will inject cash or assets into a business in return for a
shareholding in that company.
- Equity is the permanent source of capital meaning you do not have to
repay it back as long as the company is in existence.
- It can be raised through rights issue or Private Placements.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
12/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
12of 123
Rights Issue
It provides a way of raising new share capital by means of an offer to existing
shareholders inviting them to subscribe cash for new shares in proportion to
the existing holdings.
For example a right issue on a 1 for 4 basis, (1:4) at $2.80 per share would
mean that a company is inviting its existing shareholders to subscribe for one
new share for every 4 shares that they hold at a price of $2.80 per share.
Retained earnings
- These are profits that are not paid out as dividends but are retained in
the company.
- Retained profits are an attractive source of finance because investment
projects can be undertaken without involving the shareholders or any
outsiders.
- Use of retained earnings as opposed to new shares or debentures
avoids issuing costs.
Advantages of using Equity Capital
- Dividend payments are made at the discretion of the company. They
can choose whether to pay or not to pay the dividends.
- There is no obligation to pay the principal amount under Equity Capital.
Disadvantages of using Equity Capital
- On issuing shares voting rights are given to new shareholders leading
to the dilution of ownership and capital.
- The cost of under-writing and distributing equity is higher than that of
debt.
- Dividends are not deductable as an expense for calculating the
companys income, (because dividends are paid after tax on profit).
Financing Needs of Company and Product Life Cycle
Sources of financing that a company can utilise will ultimately differ
depending on its stage in the product life cycle.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
13/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
13of 123
Launch Stage
- The pre-launch stage of a business a company will require seed capital.
- If the product still appears financially viable after these initial investments
the additional expenditure can be made for operating facilities e.g.
operating equipment then start up capital will then be required.
Start-up Business
Note: The start-up stage for a company represents highest level of business
(Which is risk associated with business itself e.g. high fixed costs, price
controls e.t.c.
- A start up business is likely to make accounting losses or very nominal
profits; for this reason start-up business should be financed by equity.
Moreover start-up companies have a large and growing demand for
cashflow, therefore taking on debts will put pressure on its cashflows.- In the launch stage the very high business risk implies that cost should be
kept variable and long term financial commitments should be avoided.
- Financing start-up business should come from:
o Business Angels
o Venture Capitalist

Business Angels
- These are individuals that have made money in their own enterprises and
are seeking the excitement in the financial reward of investing in another
business.
- The Angels usually receive stock / shares and a seat on the Board ofDirectors.
- As individuals are involved the deal is quicker to close and the
documentation much simpler.
- They have a very flexible approach and their analysis less vigorous.
- However they can only invest much lower amounts that Venture Capitalists.
Venture Capitalists
- These are normally professional investors who specialise in a particular
industry.
- They have a short term investment horizon.
- Their focus is to invest during the high risk start up phase of business
which if it is successful they can realise capital gains.
- They expect high rate of returns on their investment portfolio.
- As the total risk of a company declines over its transition from launch to
growth stage, the returns on new capital will fall, and hence venture
capitalists will no longer be interested in financing further operations. They
want to exit at this point and invest the proceeds in further high risk
investments
NB: Example of Venture Capitalists is Takura Ventures
Corporate Ventures:
- Corporate Venturing Companies invest in promising new ventures in order
to exploit their ideas to obtain the benefits of their new technology and gain
on urge on the market.
Growth Stage
- In the growth stage sales start to increase significantly as the product
attains market acceptance.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
15/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
15of 123
- Although business risk is still high it has been reduced from that of the
launch stage.
- There may be additional funding requirements. A new equity has to be
identified to replace original venture capital and provide continued capital.
- Initial public offerings are common at this stage and provide an exit routefor venture capitalists.
- Attracting equity investors is not a problem at this stage as prospects for
future growth are high.
- The cash generated by the business is for re-investments and no dividend
is paid.
- Investors look to capital gains as a major source of capital.
Maturity Stage
- At this stage in the life cycle product demand and supply are now
synchronized.
- Replacement demand becomes major source of total sales.
- Cash flows are positive and there is a reduction in business risk.
- There is reduction in business risk which enables financial risk to be
introduced through borrowing.
- Because the cash flow are positive this enables the company to service
interest and principle repayment.
- The company can also afford to pay dividends.
Decline Stage
- At this stage demand for the product will eventually start to fall.
- Business risk is low at this stage and using more debt can increase the
financial risk.
- Re-investment into the business is no longer priority as the future growth
prospects are negative.
- Companies can now instigate a high dividend pay off policy.
1.4. Bond Issues and other debt instruments
Evaluation:
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
16/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
16of 123
- Evaluation is a process of arriving at the value for an asset expressed in
monetary terms.
- The value of an asset is the present value of expected future benefits
usually represented by cash flows discounted at a required rate of return.
- Bonds are the most basic type of fixed income security.- Fixed Income Security is a claim on a specified periodic stream of income.
Characteristics of Bonds:
1. Par Value / face value
- It is the stated face value of the bond. This is the amount paid to the
bond holder on the maturity of the bond.
- The par value represents the amount the issuer borrows and promises
to repay on the maturity date.
2. Coupon Rate
- It is the annual and semi-annual or quarterly interest payment paid to
investors.
- It may be fixed or floating. Some bonds do not pay coupons at all.
3. Yield
- It is the required rate of return on the bond. It is the rate of interest
required by investors in order to entice them to invest in a bond.
- They yield changes with changes in interest rates in the economy and
credit worthiness of the issuer.
4. Maturity
- Bonds have specific maturity dates on which the par value must be
repaid.
- The effective maturity of a bond declines each year after it has been
issued.
Bonds Classification
1. Coupon Payments
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
17/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
17of 123
(a). Straight Bonds / ballet Bonds / Vanilla Bonds
- It is the most common type of bond.
- The bond pays regular usually semi-annual fixed coupon over a fixed
period to maturity to return.
(b). Zero Coupon Bonds
- They do not make coupon payments.
- The investors receive the par value at maturity date but receive no
interest payments.
- They are issued at a discount and the investors return comes from the
different from the issue price and payment of the par value at issue
e.g. bond issued at $700 yet its par value is $1, 000, on maturity the
investor gets the $1, 000.
(c). Variable Rate / Floating Rate
- Floating rate bonds make payments that are tied to some measure of
current market rate.
- The payments can be linked to an index or from a current market rate
e.g. Treasury Bills rate or LOBOR.
(d). Income Bonds.
- They provide coupon payments that must be paid only if the earnings
of the firm are sufficient to meet the interest obligations. The principal
however must be paid when due.
2. Redemption Dates / Maturity Dates
(a). Double dated Bonds - Pricing.
- These are bonds that can have a range of possible redemption
dates.
- It eases flow of company cash flow.
(b). Callable Bonds.
- Callable bonds give the issuer the rights but not the obligation to
redeem the bond before maturity.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
18/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
18of 123
- The issuer however must pay the bond holders a premium.
(c). Puttable Bonds.
These bonds give bond holders the right but not the obligations to
sell their bonds back to the issuer at predetermined price and date.
(d). Irredeemable Bonds / Perpetuals.
These are bonds which do not have redemption dates. So interest
on them will be paid indefinitely.
(e). Convertible Bonds
It is one that can be converted at the option of the holder into certain
number of shares in that company.
E.g. BAT issues bonds for $1000 to mature in December 2008. The
buyer will be given an option to convert the bond into shares worth
for example 20 shares and hence becomes a shareholder.
3. Issuer who is issuing them
(a). Treasury Bonds / Government Bonds.
These are issued by the Government
(b). Corporate Bonds / Debentures.
These are bonds issued by corporations / companies.
(c). Municipal Bonds.
These are issued by the municipality and local government
(d). Foreign Bonds.
These are issued by foreign government or foreign companies.
NOTE:- It is important to know the issuer so that one can asses the risk
involved under the bond being issued.
4. Priority
- The priority of the bond determines the probability that the issuer will
pay you back your money.
- The priority indicates your place in line should a company defaults in
payments.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
19/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
19of 123
(b). Unsubordinated (senior) Security.
- It ranks above other loans or security with regards to claims on
assets or earnings.
- In the event a company defaults you will be 1stin line to receive
payments from liquidation of its assets.
(c). Unsubordinated (junior) Security.
In the event a company defaults you will get paid only after the
senior debt holders have received their shares
5. Currency
(a). Domestic Bonds.
These are bonds issued by the domestic borrower in their own
national markets denominated in the local currency that can be
purchased by anyone in possession of that currency.
(b). Foreign Bonds.
These are bonds issued by the national markets by foreign
companies or government in the currency of that country in which
the market is based.
The issues are subjected to regulations and supervision of thenational market.
Examples:
* Bonds issued pound sterling in London by foreigners are called
Bulldog Bonds
* Similarly bonds issued in US$ denominations in New York by a
foreigner are called Yankee Bonds
* Bonds issued in Japan by foreigners in Yen denominations arecalled Samurai Bonds
(c). Euro Bonds.
- These are bonds issued by government and companies outside
their own countries in currencies other than their own, e.g.
Swedish company issuing a bond in Zimbabwe in US$.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
20/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
20of 123
- They can be bought by anyone or organisation having the
currency available.
- The bonds are not traded on any specific market.
Example:- A Eurobond denominated in Japanese Yen but
issued in the United States will be classified as a Euro yen
Bond.
(c) Price Yield Relationship

Price
Yield
- Interest rates are the primary determination of bond prices.
PRICE YIELD CURVE
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
21/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
21of 123
- However a change in the level of interest rates does not affect all
bonds in the same way.
- In order to determine how sensitive a bond price is to change in
interest rates one has to know the price yield relationship.
- The Price Yield Curve is a plot of the bonds required rate of return toits corresponding price.
- It is not a straight line, its a convex.
NOTE:- The price of a straight bondvaries inversely with changes in
interest rates:
- When interest rates increase bond prices fall.
- When interest rates decrease bond prices rise.
(a) Long Term Bonds- These are more price sensitive to a given
change in yields than the short term bonds.
(b) High Coupon Bonds- These are less price sensitive to a given
change in yields as compared to lower coupon bonds.
- The value of a bond in the market place is rarely constant over
life i.e. it fluctuates.
- When you calculate the price of a bond you are calculating themaximum price you would want to pay for the bond given the
bonds coupon rate in comparison to the average rate most
investors are currently receiving in the bond market.
- Bonds can be priced at: -
o Premium
o Discount
o Par
(c) Premium
If the bond price is higher than its par value the bond will sell at a
premium its coupon rate is higher than the required yield or
prevailing rates.
That is ieldrateCoupon
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
22/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
22of 123
(d) Discount
If the bond price is lower than its par value the bond will sell at a
discount the reason being coupon rate will be lower than the yield.
(e) Par
This means the interest rate of the bond equals the prevailing rate.
If the coupon rate on the bond equals the prevailing interest rates
the bonds trades at par.
That is ieldrateCoupon =

Example 2:
25 years ago ZESA issued an annual coupon payment bond with a 10%
coupon rate and a $1,000 par value.
The bond has now 10 years remaining until maturity.
Due to the change in the interest rates and market conditions the required
rate of return on the Bond is 8%.

The three sources of return that may compromise a yield on a bond at:-
Periodic Coupon Interest.
Capital gains resulting from buying at a different price then the one
received when the security is sold / matures.
Re-investment Income from investing periodic cashflows.
1. Current Yield
Current yield is the most basic measure of the yield.
It is theBondofpriceCurrent

Coupon
Example:
Suppose that a 15 year $1,000 par value 7% semi-annual coupon bond is

= %36,6
Current yield is used to estimate the cost of profit from holding a bond.
Example: - if other short term interest rates are higher than the current
yields, the bond is said to carry a running cost or negative carry.
Disadvantages of Current Yield
(a). The current yield does not take into account potential gains or losses
resulting from the difference between the current market price of a
bond and its value upon maturity.
(b). It does not take into account time value for money.
2. Yield to Maturity (YTM)
Yield to Maturity is the measure of a total return that will be earned on
a bond if it is bought now and held to maturity.
It takes into account:-
- The pattern of coupon payments.
- The bonds term to maturity and
- The capital gains or losses arising over the remaining life of a
bond.

Advantages of Yield to Maturity
(a). It takes into account the potential gains or losses associated withholding the bond to maturity.
(b). It takes into account that coupon receipts can be re-invested and
hence further interest rates.
Disadvantages of Yield to Maturity
(a). It assumes that a bond is held to maturity. Typical investors do not
hold bonds to maturity.
They are much more interested in holding periodic returns which
depends on the bonds price when it is sold in relation to the purchase
price.
(b). The YTM is a promised yield in that it assumes a bond regardless of
its credit rating will pay off the promised cash flows. Hence the YTM
will only be realised if the issuer does not default.
(c). The YTM assumes a flat yield curve meaning that it assumes all
interest rates will stay the same through out the period and that
coupons are re-invested at that constant rate.
3. Yield to Call
Callable bonds might not reach maturity for the very reason that they
may be called before maturity.
Hence that yield to call was developed to measure the return on a bond
if it where to be called on a particular call date.

Advantages of Call to Yield
It takes into consideration the coupon interest, capital gains and re-
imbursement of cash flow.
Disadvantages of Call to Yield
(a). It assumes that the interest will hold the bond until the next call date
and that the issuer will call thebond at that time.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf

(b). It assumes that the interest received from the bond will be re-invested
at the yield to call rate.
3.2. Risk Associated With Investing In Bonds
1. Interest Rate Risk
This is the risk that an increase in interest rates will cause the price of
the bonds to fluctuate.
2. Call Risk
This is the risk that a bond will be paid off before its maturity date.
3. Re-investment Risk
This is the risk that cashflows or income generated might have to be re-
invested at lower yields if interest rate falls.
4. Default Risk
This is the risk that the issuer will fail to make interest for principal
payments when they fall due.
5. Down Grade Risk
This is the risk that the price of the bond might fall because the credit
rating agencies have reduced the credit rating of the bond issuer.
6. Liquidity Risk
This is the risk that the bond will not be sold so quickly because the
market is in liquid.
7. Re-structuring RiskThis is a risk that arises from the potential conflict of interest between
different claimants on firms assets when a company restructures.
8. Exchange rate Risk
If person is holding foreign bonds and currency of that bonds exchange
rate fluctuates it affects the value of the bond.

9. Inflation Risk
When inflation increases value of the bonds decreases.
10. Event Risk
This is the risk that some unusual events will cause the price of bonds
to fall.
3.3. Equity Valuation
Ordinary Shares / Common Stock
- Common stock are equity securities that are issued by corporations
- An investor who purchases ordinary shares in a company becomes part
owner of that company
- The level of ownership will depend on the number of shares purchased
as compared to the total number of shares that has been issued by the
firm.
Characteristics of Ordinary Shares
(a). Control
- Ordinary Shareholders are the owners of the company and as such
they have control of the company
- This control is exercised through their voting powers on specific
issues at shareholders meetings
(b). Income
Ordinary Shareholders are entitled to a dividend but a company and its
directors are under no obligation to declare a dividend.
(c). Priority
In the event of a company being liquidated ordinary shareholders stand
last in the line to receive proceeds of liquidation as they are the residual
owners of the business. All other shareholders have to be paid before
they can receive their proceeds.
(d). Maturity
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
35/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
35of 123
Equity Capital is a permanent form of financing. It does not have a
maturity date and therefore the repayment of the initial amount is not
required.
(e). Tax Treatment
Dividends payments to common shareholders are not tax deductable,
i.e. they are taxed on dividends.
Valuation of Ordinary Shares
The value of an ordinary share is derived from the present value of all future
expected benefits it is expected to provide he expected future value comes in
two forms namely:-
- Expected Cash Dividends- Capital Gains or losses due to change in price.
Models of Valuing Ordinary Shares
1. Zero Growth Model
This is the simplest approach to shares valuation which assumes a
constant non-growing dividends dream
sK
DP 10 =
Where:
0P = The value of Ordinary Share
1D = Amount of annual dividend
sK = the required rate of return on common stock
Example
Edgars expects to pay a dividend of $3.60 at the end of each year
indefinitely into the future.

3. Variable Growth or Supernormal
The zero and constant growth model do not allow for any shift in the
expected growth rate. However in reality the growth rate might shift up
and down or cease due to change on company expectations.

Advantages of Dividend Discount Models
- Simplicity is use
Disadvantages of Dividend Discount Models
- Models are only applicable to dividends paying stocks
- Model requires that the cost of equity is greater than the growth rate
otherwise the model will give nonsensical answers. Sometimes stocks
experience periods of supernormal growth were the growth rate will
exceed the cost of equity
- The model assumes growth to be constant. However in reality growth
cannot be expected to continue indefinitely.
Preference Shares
- These are hybrid securities in that they have some characteristics of
debt & equity.
- Preference shares promise a fixed dividend and in this way they can
be likened to debt.
- However unlike debt preferred dividends are not deductable for tax
purposes. Hence it has a higher cost of capital than debt.
- Almost all preferred stocks have a cumulative feature providing for
unpaid dividends in any one year to be carried forward.

- A company has to pay its accumulated arrears on preferred stock
before it can pay a dividend on its common stock.
- Preference shareholders are not given any voting rights in the
company because of their prior claim on assets and income.
Types of Preference Shares
(a). Participating Preference
These shares are entitled to the fixed dividends but in addition they
share in the remaining profits in some predetermined portion to the
ordinary shares.
(b). Redeemable Preference Shares
These are similar to normal preference shares except that the
company has the option to redeem them at a specified price on a
particular date or a given period of time.
(c). Convertible Preference Shares
These are similar to normal preference shares except that the holder
has right to exchange them for ordinary or other security according to
pre-arranged terms.

Rate of Return = %23,8
The investor can consider buying the shares as the Rate of Return is
higher than what they expect.
Advantages of Preferred Stock
- Flexibility
Dividends do not have to be paid in the year in which profits are
bad, while this is not the case on interest payments on long term
debt.
- It avoids dilution of ownership. This is because preference shares
do not carry any voting rights. Hence they avoid diluting control of
existing shareholders. Which is what happens when ordinary
shares are issued?
- Since preferred stock has no maturity this reduces cashflow drain
from repayments of principal that occurs with debt issues.
- Preferred shares will lower the companys gearing ratios.
- The issuing of preference shares does not restrict the companys
borrowing power.
Disadvantages of Financing Preferred Stock
- The after cost shares of preferred stock is higher than the after tax
cost of debt. Furthermore because of the possibility that dividendscan be passed preferred stock shareholder often require a higher
return.
- Fixed obligation of paying dividends. Although preferred dividends
can be passed the company is still under obligation to pay them in
subsequent years.

3.4. Option Valuation
- Options are derivatives
- Derivatives are securities whose value is determined from the prices of
underline securities.- These assets are called contingent claims because their pay offs are
contingent on the prices of other securities.
Definition of Option
- It is the contract that gives the holder the right but not the obligation to
buy or sell an asset at a pre-determined price known as the strike price
or exercise priceon or before some expiration date.
- Most options areAmericanmeaning that they can be exercised at anytime before or on the expiry date.
- European Optionsallow only exercising on the expiry date.
- Example Puttable Bonds
(a). Call Option
- It gives its holder the right to buy an asset or security at a specified
date and at a specified price.
- Happens when one anticipate price is going to shoot and one willstill be able to buy them cheaper
- The holder of an option is not under any obligation to exercise it,
therefore call options are assets as the embody him the right to
buy and this right has value.
The Call Righter:
- Sells all call options at said the right calls.
- The righter of the call option receives the purchase price orpremium.
- The premium is payment against a possibility that a righter may
have to deliver the asset in return for an exercise price lower than
that of the market value of the asset.
(b). Put Option
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
46/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
46of 123
- If you think market will fall you buy put option.
- A put option gives the holder the right not the obligation to sell an
asset at a specified price at a specified date.
- The holder of a put option is not under any obligation to exercise it,
therefore the put option are assets as they embody him to sell andthis right has value
NOTE:These are used to limit ones risk / loss. The righter of the put
thinks the market will go down.
The Put Righter:
- The righter of the put option will receive a premium for righting the put.
(c). Trading of Options
- Options can be traded on the over the counter markets. This has
the advantage that the terms of the option contract can be tailor
made to meet the needs of the traders.
- However the cost of establishing the over the counter option
contract are very high
- Options Contract can also be traded on organised exchange e.g.
Chicago Board Options Exchange.
- They are highly standardised contract specifications trading in
specific quantities of securities for delivery in specific months.
Valuation of Option Contracts
A value of an option can be broken down into two parts.
Intrinsic Value
Time premium
(a). Intrinsic Value
It depends on the price of the asset underlying the option in relation to
the call option exercised price.
Formulae:
Call Option:

KSC =
Put Option:
SKP =
Where:-
S = Current Stock Price
K = Exercised Price
As long as the difference is positive the option has value.
Otherwise ZeroP= or ZeroC= .
This is because the options can not have a negative value.
(b). Terms describing option
In the Money
Describes the option where exercise would be profitable.
Out of the Money
Describes the option where exercise would not be profitable.
At the MoneyDescribes the situation where the asset price and exercise price are
equal.
(c). Time premium
This is a function of the probability that the option could change in
value by the time it expires.
The time premium depends upon four variables:-
The amount of time before expiration
Volatility
Time Value of Money
Yield on the underlined asset

3. CORPORATE VALUATION AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
3.3. The Cost of Capital
Debt, Preferred Stock and Common Equity are the capital components of
the firm. If a company decides to increase its total assets then that increase
will be financed by an increase in one or more of these capital components.
The cost of each of these components is called Component Cost of
Capital.

Formulae:
Cost of debt ( )dK = )1( tKd
Where t= Marginal Cost of Debt (marginal firms tax rate
- It is the interest rate on the companys new debt.- This is the yield to maturity on existing debt,
- It is also called the before tax component cost of debt
- It is the current cost of debt or interest rate the firm would pay if it
issues debt today.
- The yield to maturity is the rate of return the existing bond holders
expect to receive and it is also a good estimate of the return that
new bond holders would require.
- The after tax cost of debt is used to calculate the weighted average
cost of interest
- It is the interest rate on the new debt less the tax savings due to the
deductibility of interest.
Example:
Edgars is planning to issue new debt at an interest rate of 8%. Edgars is in
the 40% marginal tax rate.

Factors that affect Firms Cost of Capital
A. Factors that a Firm Cannot Control.
1. Level of Interest Rates
If interests rates in the economy rise the cost of debt increases
because firms will have to pay bond holders a higher interest rate in
order to obtain debt capital.
2. Market Risk Premium
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
57/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
57of 123
This is the perceived risk market in stocks along with the investors
inversion to risk. Individual firms have no control over this factor but
it affects the cost of equity.
3. Tax Rates
Companies have no control over tax rates or tax bands.
4. Dependent on the overall countrys economic conditions
When inflation rate is increasing, cost of doing business is more
expensive hence investors and lenders will demand a higher rate
of return which results in a higher cost of capital
When the economy is on its upbeat trend where demand forfunds increases and supply of funds are limited or not increasing
proportionately to demand then the lenders and financiers
increase their lending rate which will also increase a firms cost of
capital
B. Factors that a Firm Can Control.
1. Capital Structure PolicyThe weights used to calculate the WACC are based on the
companys target capital structure.
Therefore a change in the companys capital structure can affect
its cost of capital.
2. Dividend Policy
The higher the pay-up ratio of a firm then the more it will have toresort to expensive common stock financing similarly the more
a company retains the more it can rely on retained earnings.
Whatever Dividend Policy a firm will adopt this will have a
bearing on the cost of capital.

58/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
58of 123
3. Investment Policy
Dependent on the companys business risk
The higher a firms business risk, the higher the investorsrequired rate of return and the cost of capital will also
increased.
Dependent on the companys financial risk
Where a company is highly geared, the lending institutions will
consider the firms financial risk to be quite high hence would
require a higher rate of return from the firm hence increasing
the firms cost of capital
Dependent on the Size of Financing
Where the firms size namely its assets or sales turnover
cannot justify the size of financing needs, the lenders will be
more cautious and will impose a higher cost of fund which will
then increase the companys cost of capital
Example:
Hunyani has the following Capital Structure:-
Debt - 25%
Preferred Stock - 15%Common Stock - 60%
Hunyanis tax rate is 40% and investors expect earnings and dividends to
grow at a constant rate of 9% in the future.
Hunyani paid a dividend of $3.60 per share last year and its share price
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
59/123

is currently $60. Treasury bonds yield 16%.
An average stock has a 14% expected rate of return. Company beta is
1.51.
The following terms apply to new security offerings:-
New preferred stock can be sold to the public at a price of $100 per share
with a dividend of $11.
Floatation cost of $5 will be incurred. Debt could be sold at an interest
rate of 12%.
Required:
Find the companys cost of debt, preferred stock and common stock.
Assume that Hunyani does not have to issue any additional shares of
common stock. What is the WACC?
3.5. Theory of Capital Structure
- Capital Structure relates to the mix of long-term finance.
- When a company expands it needs capital to finance the additional
assets.
- The capital can be derived from debt, equity or combination of both.
- This topic of capital structure serves to see how the capital structure of
a company will affect the companys risk and how companies should
finance their operations.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
60/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
60of 123
1. Target Capital Structure.
- A firms target capital structure is a debt to equity ratio that a
company tries to maintain over a period of time.
- If the companys current debt ratio should fall below the target
level, issuing new debt will satisfy the new capital.
- If the firms current debt ratio increases above the target level, the
company will be required to raise new capital by retaining earnings
or issuing new equity.
2. Optimal Capital Structure.
- When a company is setting its target capital structure it has to
consider the trade-off between risk and return associated with the
use of debt.
- The use of debt increases risk to shareholders and the higher the
risk associated with the use of debt will depress share prices.
- The firms optimum capital structure is the one that balance the
influence of risk and return and maximises the firm share prices.

Optimal Capital Leverage Debt Equity
- Cost of equity increases with increasing debt but more rapidly than
the cost of debt, the increase is to compensate for the risk taking.
- Cost of debt remains low due to the tax shield but slowly increases
as the company increases the gearing to compensate lenders for
the increasing risk
3.4. Factors that influence Firms Capital Structure Decision
(a) Business Risk
This is the risk that is inherent in the firms operations assuming zero
debt.
It is the risk that the company will not be able to cover its operating
costs.
The main features affecting business risk are:-
- Demand variability
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
62/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
62of 123
The more variable a firms sales are the higher the business risk.
- The sales price variability
Volatile market price will expose the firm more business risk than
that experienced by companies whose output prices are more
stable.
- The input price variability
Companies with uncertain input costs are exposed to high
business risk.
- Ability to adjust output pricesfor changes in input prices e.g. those
who sale controlled goods.
- Operating Leverage
The higher the % of the firms costs that are fixed then the greater
the business risk.
Tax Position
- The reason why companies use debt is because of the tax deductibility
of interest payments
- The deductibility of interest lowers the effective cost of using debt.- However if a company is already in a low tax bracket because its
income is sheltered fro taxes by depreciation, interest on current debt
or a tax loss may carry forward, then the use of additional debt will not
be advantageous.
Financial Flexibility
Reasons why you require the capital for will determine whether you get long
term or short term debts.
Conservatism of Aggressiveness of Management
- Aggressive Managers will tend to borrow more they do not hesitate to
take a risk.
7/23/2019 Corporate Finance Notes2.pdf
63/123
Corporate Finance Notes - CFI 2201 A. Mashiri
63of 123
- Conservative managers are not risk takers, they would not want to
increase risk, and they would rather opt to borrow shareholders.
3.5. Theories of Capital Structure: Miller and Modigliani Theory
In the original paper of 1958 Franco Modigliani & Morton Miller (M & M)
assumed a world of no taxes and concluded that the value of the firm is not
affected by its capital structure.
They argued that in a world with no taxes companies can not benefit from
leverage or debt financing.
1. Assumption Made
(a) Perfect capital markets no taxes, all investors
(b) All companies are clustered or grouped into equivalent returnclasses meaning that all firms within a class have the same degreeof business risk.
(c) Business risk can be measured by EBITand firms within the samedegree of risk are said to be in a homogeneous risk class.
(d) All investors have homogeneous expectations about future earningsand the riskness of those earnings.
(e) There are no personal or corporate taxes.
(f) There are no bankruptcy costs.
(g) The debt of companies and investors is risk free and so the interestrate on all debt is the risk free rate of return.
(h) All cash flows are perpetuities meaning all companies have zerogrowth.
2. Proposition of M & M in World with Taxes
This proposition says the value of any firm is found by capitalising its
expected net operating income of EBITat a constant rate.

- According to their proposition in the world of no taxes, the value of
a firm is independent of its leverage.
- According to their proposition WACC for the firm is completely

regardless of the amount of debt it uses is equal to the cost of
equity it would have if it uses no debt.
- The market capitalizes the value of the firm as a whole. There is no
distinguision between debt and equity. The total value of the firm is
independent of its capital structure.
- The total market value of the firm is given by capitalising earnings
at a discount rate appropriate for its risk class.
3. Proposition of M & M in World with no Taxes
The cost of equity of a levered firm is equal to the cost of equity of a
unlevered firm in the same risk class plus a risk premium whose size
depends on both the differential between the unlevered firms cost of
equity and the amount of debt being used.

Two companies Unilever & Longman are identical in every respectexcept that Unilever is unlevered whilst Longman has $15 million of

NOTE:
According to this proposition Number 2 the inclusion of debt in the
Capital Structure will not increase the value of the firm because
benefit of using cheaper debt will be exactly offset by an increase in
the riskness of the cost of equity.
Cost of Debt:
The cost of debt has two parts: -
- It has the explicit cost thats represented by the interest rates.
- The implicit or hidden cost which is represented by an increase in
the cost of equity which increases when the proportion of debt to
equity increases.
Example:
Two companies Unilever & Longman are identical in every respect
except that Unilever is unlevered whilst Longman has $15 million of
15% debt outstanding.
Assume that all the M & M assumptions hold, there is no corporate or
personal taxes. The EBIT is $12 million for each company.

4. Arbitrage Support of a Proposition
- To support the above proposition M & M cited the presence of
arbitrage in the capital markets
- Arbitrage merely prevents perfect substitutes from selling atdifferent prices in the same market.
- In this instance, perfect substitutes are deemed to be two or more
similar firms operating in the same risk class but differ only in terms
of capital structure.
M & M argued that the total value of these firms has to be the same
otherwise arbitrage will enter the market and derives the values of these
two companies together.
Example:
Two companies Unilever & Longman are identical in every respect
except that Unilever is unlevered whilst Longman has $15 million of15% debt outstanding.
Assume that all the M & M assumptions hold, there is no corporate or

5. Proposition of MM in World with Taxes
In 1963 M & M published a certain article which assumed the existence
of corporate taxes with the inclusion of taxes they argued that leverage
will increase the value of the firm.
This arises because interest is a tax deductable expense and therefore
in a leveraged company operating income flows through the investors.
(a) Proposition 1 of M & M
The value of a levered firm is equal to the value of the unlevered
firm in the same risk class plus the gains from using leverage whichis the value of the tax shield.

3.6. Trade-off Model
The trade off theory states that the company must trade off or balance thetax advantages of using debt against the cost financial distress.
The theory states that there is an optimum debt ration that maximises the
market value off-setting the benefits of a tax shield against the increasing
cost of financial distress.
1. Definition
Financial distress occurs when a firm has debts. The greater the debts
financing the larger the fixed interest charges and the higher will be the
probability that the company will experience a decline in earnings
leading to financial distress.
2. Direct and indirect Cost of Financial Distress
(a) Direct Cost
It relates namely to costs of bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Costs
It occurs as value of business declines
The financial conditions of a business deteriorate to the point when
bills are not paid for the value of equity is zero.
The direct bankruptcy costs are primarily legal and administrative
these are payments made to lawyers, accountants and consultants.
(b) Indirect Costs.
Destruction of Value
Arguments between claimants can often delay the liquidation
process.
Bankruptcy can take many years to settle and during this time
machinery rust and buildings may collapse.

of jobs to managers and other key employees
