one of 3 criteria
Maturity Date Date when the Co. pays the par value back to
the bondholder.
Corporate debentures
Money Market Instruments
Straight Bonds : (or plain vanilla bond) pays a fixed periodic (usually semi
annual) coupon over its life and returns the principal on maturity date.
Zero Coupon Bonds: issued at a steep discount over its face value and
redeemed at face value on maturity. For e.g., In 1996, IDBI issued deep
discount bonds at Rs 5,300 of a face value of Rs. 200,000 with maturity
period of 25 yrs.

Bond Features
Bonds tend to be confusing because of complex provisions attached to
them. The financial contract between the issuer and the holder of bonds is
called the bond indenture which spells out the features of the bond in
terms of collateral, sinking fund, call provision, protective covenants, and so
on.
Assumptions:
• Coupon interest rate is fixed for the term of the bond.
• Coupon payments are made every year and the next coupon payment is receivable
exactly a year from now.
• Bond will be redeemed at par on maturity.
Given these assumptions, the cash flow for a non-callable bond comprises an annuity
of a fixed coupon interest payable annually and the principal amount payable at
maturity. Hence the value of bond is :-
Where, VB =Market Value, M = Maturity Value rc=Coupon Rate, rd= Required Rate
of Return, n= no. of periods to maturity
Example : XYZ Co has decided to issue bonds to raise additional financing for future growth.
How much capital will it raise if it issues 1,000 ten year bonds with a maturity of Rs 1000 and
an annual coupon rate of 10% that is paid semiannually. Co has also determined that
investors require an annual return rate of 12%.

The market value for the bond is 885.30 or in other words the present value of the future cash
flows is 885.30. If Co issues 1,000 of these bonds they will raise approximately Rs 885,300
Bond Values with Semi-annual Interest
• Most of the bonds pay interest semi-annually. To value such bonds, we have
to work with a unit period of six months, and not one year. This means that
the bond valuation equation has to be modified along the following lines :
• As an illustration, consider a 8-year, 12% coupon bond with a par value of Rs.
1,000 on which interest is payable semiannually. The required return on this
bond is 12 percent. Applying Eq(10.3), the value of the bond is :

• When interest rates rise, market prices of bonds fall (and vice
versa) (the longer the time until maturity, the more sensitive the
bond price is to changes in interest rates).

realized yield to maturity.
Current Yield : relates the annual coupon interest to
the market price.
=> does not consider the capital gain (or loss) that
an investor will realize if the bond is purchased at a
discount (or premium) and held till maturity.
• Since the value is greater than Rs 800, we have to try a higher value of r.
Let us try r= 14 %
• Then, P = Rs. 90 (PVIFA 14%,8yrs) + Rs 1,000 (PVIF14%,8yrs) =
Rs.768.1
• Since this value is less than Rs 800, we try a lower value for r. Let us try
r = 13 %. Here, P = Rs 90 (PVIFA 13%,8yrs) + Rs. 1,000 (PVIF13%,8yrs)
= Rs 808
• Thus r lies between 13 % and 14 %.
• Using a linear interpolation1 in the range 13 % to 14 %, we find that r =
13.2 %.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
5. Bond prices are more sensitive to yield changes when the bond
is initially selling at a lower yield.

CRISIL is the largest credit agency in India. It rates instruments like debentures,
preference shares, fixed deposits, and commercial paper. The rating symbols
employed by CRISIL for debentures are:
3. Sufficient Safety ‘BBB’; however, changing circumstances are more likely to lead
to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Note
1. CRISIL may apply ‘+’ or ‘-‘ signs for ratings from AA to D to reflect comparative
standing within the category.
2. Preference share rating symbols are identical to debenture rating symbols except
that the letters are prefixed to the debenture rating symbols, eg. Pf AAA (“pf
Triple A”)
