Interest Overview
Interest
Price paid to borrow money Interest is the charge made for borrowing a sum of money. It is cost of capital or cost of utilization of money. It is difference between amount returned and amount borrowed.
Example: If you borrow Rs.1000 and return Rs.1200, 200 that you are supposed to pay in excess of borrowed amount is interest.
2

Interest Overview (Cont..)


Interest rate Interest rate is charge made expressed as a percentage of amount lent. Example: If you borrow Rs.500 at 10% 10% is interest rate
3

The Allocative Role of Interest


Allocate Role
It means to give something to someone to use in a particular way.

Allocate Role of Interest


Allocation of money (credit or loanable funds) is defined by interest.

For example
One million is available as credit at 15% Business A Business B Expected return 12% (Reject) Expected return 20% (Accept)

Simply one will get the loan that is willing to pay highest rate of interest. (In case of scarcity)

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest


The Supply of Credit
The Demand for Credit

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest (Cont..)


The Supply of Credit
Supply of credit refers to savings made by net savers; net savers are those who have amounts in excess of their expenditure. Income= Consumption + Savings Income=2000 Consumption=1500 Savings=500
7

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest (Cont..)


Who are the Supplier of Credit?

Net Savers Households Businesses Government


When will net savers save??

When interest rates are high net savers are motivated to save for rainy days and for higher returns.
8

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest (Cont..)


The Demand for Credit
Demand for credit refers to amount of money borrowed by net borrowers

Who demand credit?


Households, Businesses & Government

Example
If you have business you have an opportunity to invest Rs 100 in new machinery having life of 1 year which will increase your cash inflows by 110. Your return will be Rs 10 Return=Inflow-outflow Return=110-100 Return=10
9

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest (Cont..)


The Demand for Credit (Cont..)

Example (Cont..)
Rate of return will be 10% Rate of return=Inflow-outflow/outflow Rate of return=110-100/100 or 10/100=0.1 or 10% If that 100 is available at 8% interest rate, should you take it or not? In this condition you will demand 100 as credit because it is profitable for you because on 100 you have to pay 8% interest and your rate of return is 10%, it means even after payment of interest you are still earning 2% profit.
10

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest (Cont..)


The Demand for Credit (Cont..)

Example (Cont..) But if you were asked to pay interest rate of 12% then you must have rejected that credit. So when a business feels that there is any profitable opportunity it will demand credit.
11

Determination of the Market Rate of Interest (Cont..)


The Demand for Credit (Cont..)
When interest rates are high businesses are discouraged to take credit and when interest rates are low businesses are motivated to take more credit.

Example
Return from investment 15% When interest rate is 12% Return after paying interest= 15%-12%=3% But if interest rate is 16% Return after paying interest= 15%-16%= -1% Means loss of 1%
12

The Market Rate of Interest


The Market Rate of Interest

It is determined by demand and supply for credit. Interest rate at which demand and supply are equal is known as market rate and that point is known as equilibrium point.
It changes with change in demand and supply of credit

Equilibrium Interest Rate


The Interaction of Money Supply and Demand

Equilibrium

The condition for equilibrium is: Ms = Md The equilibrium condition can be expressed in terms of aggregate real money demand as: Ms/P = L(R,Y)

Equilibrium Interest Rate (Cont..)


Example Suppose money supply and demand functions are given which depend upon the rate of interest (I) Ms (I)= 5 + 3I Md (I) = 45 5I Find the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of money supplied and demanded.
21

Equilibrium Interest Rate (Cont..)


Solution As we know equilibrium is point where Ms = Md So put the values of Ms and Md 5 + 3I = 45 5I 3I + 5I = 45 5 8I = 40 I = 40/8 I=5 It means equilibrium point (market rate) is 5% interest rate
22

Equilibrium Interest Rate (Cont..)


Solution (Cont..) To find the amount of money demanded & supplied, put value of I in respective equations Ms (I)= 5 + 3I Ms (I)= 5 + 3(5) = 20 millions Md (I) = 45 5I Md (I) = 45 5(5) = 20 millions

Money Market
Money market
Where monetary or liquid assets, which are loosely called money, are lent and borrowed.

Monetary assets in the money market generally have low interest rates compared to interest rates on bonds, loans, and deposits of currency in the foreign exchange markets.
Domestic interest rates directly affect rates of return on domestic currency deposits in the foreign exchange markets.

When no shortages (excess demand) or surpluses (excess supply) of monetary assets exist, the model achieves an equilibrium: Ms = Md Alternatively, when the quantity of real monetary assets supplied matches the quantity of real monetary assets demanded, the model achieves an equilibrium: Ms/P = L(R,Y)
32

Money Market (Cont..)


Excess Supply of Monetary Assets
When there is an excess supply of monetary assets, there is an excess demand for interest bearing assets like bonds, loans, and deposits. People with an excess supply of monetary assets are willing to offer or accept interest-bearing assets (by giving up their money) at lower interest rates. Others are more willing to hold additional monetary assets as interest rates (the opportunity cost of holding monetary assets) falls.
33

Money Market (Cont..)


Excess demand of monetary assets
When there is an excess demand of monetary assets, there is an excess supply of interest bearing assets like bonds, loans, and deposits. People who desire monetary assets but do not have access to them are willing to sell non-monetary assets in return for the monetary assets that they desire. Those with monetary assets are more willing to give them up in return for interest-bearing assets as interest rates (the opportunity cost of holding money) rises.

Nominal versus Real Interest Rate


Nominal Interest Rate A rate at which your amount is growing Example: 10% annually

Real Interest Rate


Real rate is adjusted for inflation and is a rate at which purchasing power of invested money is increasing.

36

Nominal versus Real Interest Rate


Real Interest Rate (Cont..) It is calculated with following formula Real Rate of Interest = Nominal rate Inflation rate (CPI) or Real Rate of Interest = [(1+Nominal)/(1+Inflation)] 1 Nominal Rate = real rate + expected inflation + (real rate x inflation)
37

Nominal versus Real Interest Rate


Example

You are offered by a bank to save your 1000 at 10% interest rate for one year. Here 10% is nominal interest rate, but consider that after 1 year price of goods will increase by 6%. What is real rate of interest?
38

Nominal versus Real Interest Rate


Example (Cont..)

Nominal Rate = 10% Inflation (CPI) = 6% Real Rate = ?


Real Rate of Interest = [(1+Nominal)/(1+Inflation)] - 1

Real Rate = [1.1/1.06] 1


Real Rate = 3.77%
39

Nominal versus Real Interest Rate


Example In zero inflation world, if wheat costs Rs. 1 per Kg and you lend Rs. 10, youre lending 10 kg wheat. If you want a real return of 10%, you need 11 Kg wheat (1/10=10%) so you charge 10% interest and get Rs. 11 back If inflation is 20%, (mean 1 Kg will cost 1.2) then you need Rs. 1.20 x 11 = Rs. 13.20 back to buy 11 Kg and get your 10% real return. This means you must charge a nominal rate of 32%
40

Nominal versus Real Interest Rate


Example (Cont..)
Real Rate = 10% Inflation = 20% Nominal Rate = ? Nominal Rate = real rate + expected inflation + (real rate x inflation) Nominal Rate = 0.1 + 0.2 + (0.1 x 0.2) Nominal Rate = 0.3 + 0.02 Nominal Rate = 0.32 Nominal Rate = 32 %
41

Ex Ante. Vs. Ex Post


Ex Ante real interest rate Ex Ante real interest rates are the rates investors expect based on anticipated inflation rates Ex Post real interest rate Ex Post real interest rates are the rates investors actually receive after the fact.

The difference between the two depends on the

accuracy of inflationary expectations


42

Inflation Expectations and Real Returns


Inflation expectation tend to be quite persistent (i.e.

investors dont seem to update to new information). Therefore, real interest rates also have a high degree of persistence.

Types of Nominal Interest Rates (Cont..)


The Prime Rate

Interest rate charged by banks to their most creditworthy customers on short term loans. Same as Products are sold at lower profit margin to loyal customers (Lower Price)
For example

Normal nominal interest rate charged by banks is 10%, but bank may advance short term loan to its most creditworthy customer below 10%.

Determinants of Customer Creditworthiness


Profitability of business

Turnover
How frequently cash is coming in and going out from account (inflows and outflows or deposit and withdrawals).

Risk
Less risky companies have strong capacity to pay their debts.

Relationship between customer and bank Rating of business in terms of default risk
47

Types of Nominal Interest Rates (Cont..)


The Corporate Bond Rate
Interest Rate on corporate bonds This rate is known as the coupon rate because most bonds used to have coupons that the investors clipped off and mailed to the bond issuer to claim the interest payment.

These bonds are issued by highly rated companies having low risk of default.
Standard and Poors (S&P) and Moodys provide risk ratings of corporate and government bonds.
48

According to Moodys Aaa (best quality) Baa (lower medium quality) Caa (poor standing) C (extremely poor)
According to S&P AAA (best quality)
49

Types of Nominal Interest Rates (Cont..)


Bond Rating Criteria
Various ratios
Including the debt ratio and the times-interest-earned ratio. The better the ratios, the higher the rating.

Mortgage provisions
Is the bond secured by a mortgage? If it is, and if the property has a high value in relation to the amount of bonded debt, the bonds rating is enhanced.

Guarantee provisions
Some bonds are guaranteed by other firms. If a weak companys debt is guaranteed by a strong company (usually the weak companys parent), the bond will be given the strong companys rating.
50

Types of Nominal Interest Rates (Cont..)


Bond Rating Criteria
Sinking fund
Does the bond have a sinking fund to ensure systematic repayment? This feature is a plus factor to the rating agencies.

Maturity
A bond with a shorter maturity will be judged less risky than a longer-term bond, and this will be reflected in the ratings.

Stability
Are the issuers sales and earnings stable?
51

Types of Nominal Interest Rates (Cont..)


Bond Rating Criteria
Regulation
Is the issuer regulated, and could an adverse regulatory climate cause the companys economic position to decline? Regulation is especially important for utilities and telephone companies.

Antitrust
Are any antitrust actions pending against the firm that could wear down its position?

Overseas operations
What percentage of the firms sales, assets, and profits are from overseas operations, and what is the political climate in the host countries?
52

Types of Nominal Interest Rates (Cont..)


Bond Rating Criteria
Environmental factors
Is the firm likely to face heavy expenditures for pollution control equipment?

Product liability
Are the firms products safe? This refers to public trust; companies with low public trust possess low bond ratings.

Labor unrest
Are there potential labor problems on the horizon that could weaken the firms position?

Accounting policies
If a firm uses relatively conservative accounting policies, its reported earnings will be of higher quality than if it uses less conservative procedures. Thus, conservative accounting policies are a plus factor in bond ratings.

The Calculation of Interest Yields


Nominal Yield

Yield to Maturity (YTM)

56

Calculation of Interest Yields (Cont..)


Nominal Yield
Yield is interest on bond also called coupon amount. Nominal yield is return on face value or par value. If bond offers 100 coupon amount on 1000 face value, nominal yield will be coupon amount divided by face value

Nominal yield = I/Face value


I = coupon amount = 100 Face value = 1000 Nominal yield = 100/1000 = 10%
57

Calculation of Interest Yields (Cont..)


Current Yield Yield as percentage of current market price rather than face value Take above example that if same bond is sold at 850 (Discount) current yield will be calculated as under

Current yield = I/Market value Current yield = 100 / 850 = 11.76%


58

The Calculation of Interest Yields


Yield to Maturity (YTM)
Also known as internal rate of return of bond, it tells how much return you will get till the maturity of bond YTM is that discount rate that equates the present value of bonds cash flows to the market price. YTM cannot be calculated without market price

Approximation Formula

YTM = I + (V-P)/T (V+P)/2

I = Coupon Amount (Par Value x Coupon rate) V = Par Value P = Price of Bond T = Periods remaining to maturity
59

Interest Rate Changes and Bond Price Changes


Relationship between bond Price & Interest rate
There is inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates If interest rate increases, bond prices decreases.

Example
A bond with 1000 face value 10 years remaining to maturity offering 10% coupon rate is currently trading at 1000. Market interest rate is 10%.

According to rule:
When coupon rate = market rate . Bond will be sold at par When coupon rate > market rate .. Bond will be sold at premium When coupon rate < market rate . Bond will be sold at discount

Example (Cont..)
Now consider that interest rate in the market increases from 10% to 12% 15% 20%

Why different bonds have different prices and different interest rates?
Bonds possess various features and their prices and

interest rates are affected by those features.


There are major four features
Default or credit risk Liquidity Tax Treatment Maturity

According to these features we can categorize the causes of

different interest rates for different bonds into;


Risk Structure of Interest rates Term Structure of Interest Rates

Default risk Liquidity risk Tax treatment

67

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk
Risk of not receiving timely payment of principal and/or interest Depends on creditworthiness of issuer Why Government T-bills have low interest rate than corporate bonds? Simply because Government has zero default risk and private companies may fail to pay interest or principal amount (face value).

68

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk (Cont..)

Why T-bills have zero default risk? Because T-bills are backed by full faith and credit of government and government has Power to tax largest economy Power to issue stable currency

69

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk (Cont..) When there is higher default risk, interest rates will also be higher to compensate for that risk. Infact investors are risk averse when default risk increases, company rating falls and investors require higher yield. Example

MCB and HBL issue bonds in market paying 10% coupon with 10 years maturity. Suppose both have same credit ratings AAA. After one year HBLs rating falls from AAA to BBB. This means default risk increases.
70

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk (Cont..)

Example (Cont..)
As a result of this;

HBL
Rating falls Risk will increase

MCB
Rating remains same Risk remains same

Demand for bonds will decrease


Price will fall (from 1000 to 950) YTM will rise (from 10 to 11%)

Demand for bonds will increase


Price will rise (from 1000 to 1050) YTM will fall (from 10 to 9%)
71

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk (Cont..)
Example (Cont..)
The difference between two interest rates is called spread, it is measured in percentage points basis points 1 percentage point = 100 basis points So in MCB and HBL example difference between two rates means 11% and 9% is known as spread which is default risk premium.
72

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk (Cont..)
Other Examples 3 month T-bill 2.75% 3 month Commercial paper 3.25% Spread (3.25 2.75) 0.5 percentage points 50 basis points 10 year T-note 10 year BBB corporate bond spread 2.8 percentage points 280 basis points 3.74% 6.54%

73

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Default Risk (Cont..)

Example (Cont..)
Taking same example of HBL & MCB calculate the current yield of both bonds

HBL
Current yield = Coupon amount / Current price Current yield = 100/950 Current yield = 10.52%

MCB
Current yield = Coupon amount / Current price Current yield = 100/1050 Current yield = 9.52%

Additional yield is premium for default risk


74

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Liquidity Liquidity refers to ability to be converted into cash. Liquid bonds are those having secondary market, where investors can resell to get their money back. For example MCB and SisTech issues bonds which one you will prefer?? Definatly MCB because it has secondary market you can sell your bond whenever you want.

75

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Liquidity (Cont..)

Example
Now take an example of MCB and HBL If HBL bonds have low liquidity as compared to bonds of MCB

HBL
Demand for bonds will decrease Price will fall YTM will rise

MCB
Demand for bonds will increase Price will rise YTM will fall

Note: More liquid companies pay low interest rates whereas less
liquid companies pay higher rates of interest.
76

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Tax Treatment As tax is a burden for everyone. Some bonds are tax exempted and some are taxable. Tax exempt bonds give less interest rate (yield) whereas taxable bonds pay high yield. Why? Because tax exempt provide tax benefit
77

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Tax Treatment (Cont..)

Example
Take two bonds

Tax Exempt Bond


Face Value = 1000 Coupon rate = 10% Coupon Amount = 100 Tax Rate = 30% Net Earning = 100 (No tax paid)

Taxable Bond
Face Value = 1000 Coupon rate = 10% Coupon Amount = 100 Tax Rate = 30% Net Earning = 100 taxes Net Earning = 100 (30% of 100) Net Earning = 100 30 Net Earning = 70
78

Risk Structure of Interest Rate (Cont..)


Differential Tax Treatment (Cont..)
We can calculate the after tax yield with the help of following formula After tax yield = nominal yield (1 - T) When tax rate is 30% & nominal yield is 10%
After tax yield = 0.1 (1-0.3) After tax yield = 0.07 or 7% This is the reason that taxable bonds have higher rate of yield to cover tax advantage of tax exempt bond.

Pure Expectations Theory

This hypothesis assumes that buyer and seller find bonds of different maturities to be perfect substitutes Investor invests in bonds with different maturities when he expects same return on all bonds.
Example A 5 rupees pen can last for 5 days, you will purchase a 10 rupee pen when you will expect that 10 rupee pen will last for 10 days.. equal return.

Long-term interest rates contain a maturity premium (term premium) necessary to induce lenders into making longer term loans.

The Term Premium


Term premium is the premium for holding security for long term. Bonds with different maturities have different term premiums During Economic expansion (Low term premium) During Economic contraction (High term premium)

Modern Term Structure Theories


Theory # 1
Long-term bond prices are much more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds. This is called interest rate risk.

So, the modern view of the term structure suggests that: NI = RI + IP + RP


In this equation: NI = Nominal interest rate RI = Real interest rate IP = Inflation premium RP = Interest rate risk premium

Modern Term Structure Theories


Theory # 2
The previous equation showed the component of interest rates on default-free bonds that trade in a liquid market. Not all bonds are risk free.

Therefore, a liquidity premium (LP) and a default premium (DP) must be added to the previous equation:
NI = RI + IP + RP + LP + DP
