Quick Review Problem Your company has just undertaken a new venture for a cost of $2m (all
spent at t = 0). No cashflows are expected in the first two years, but
starting at t = 3, you are forecasting an annual profit of $100,000 for 8
years. After that, the project will be terminated.
Assuming a discount rate of 12%, was this project a good idea?

Discount Rates, Again
What does the rtrepresent?
The discount rate used for computing NPV should represent the best
alternative use of your capital
This is sometimes referred to as the hurdle rate or opportunity cost of
capital
In practice, the discount rate often comes from the return on an asset (bond,
traded stock, etc.) with comparable risk
This is called the risk-adjusted discount rate
In the world of riskless payoffs, we can get the rate from U.S. Government
bonds and bills (since they are considered riskless)

Discounting in Excel
Build an Excel table to calculate the PV at year 0 of each of the following
cashflows and the resulting PV of the stream of cashflows for the given
discount rates
Key points:
Insert formulas using =
Insert the formula in the top row and then drag
Excel can easily handle problems with different discount rates
It can also handle cashflows that are not evenly spaced
Year CF Discount Rate PV(CF)
1 50 0.04 =C4/(1+D4)^B4 48.0769230769231
2 60 0.05 =C5/(1+D5)^B5 54.421768707483
3 100 0.055 =C6/(1+D6)^B6 85.1613664183823
4 80 0.08 =C7/(1+D7)^B7 58.8023882237163
5 150 0.07 =C8/(1+D8)^B8 106.94792692255
PV =SUM(E4:E8) 353.410373349055
Thomas GilbertFinance Day 3 Page 8
NPV Function What if the discount rate is constant for all years (flat term structure), say
6%?
HP-12C can handle that
Use the same table as before and replace all the discount rates with 6%
There is a shortcut: the NPV function
How do we enter a function?
Go to the cell where you want the result
Enter = followed by the name of the function and then (
or Go to Insert, Function, Financial, and find the one you need Enter all the parameters you need and press enter
So we have: = npv(rate , cashflows)

NPV Function (2)
What is the PV at year 0 of the previous stream of cashflows with a
constant discount rate of 6%?
Trick with the NPV function: It actually calculates the PV of a stream of
cashflows with constant discount rate, where the first cashflow is one
period ahead of where you want the PV
Change the discount rate to 5%. What is the PV?
Change the discount rate to 10%. What is the PV?
Key points:
Put all the primitives at the top of your model, so that you can change
them easily
Use F4 to block the fixed cells before dragging (here, you need to blockthe discount rate)
Thomas GilbertFinance Day 3 Page 10
Project NPV in Excel The previous stream of cashflows actually are the expected cashflows from
a new venture which cost $400 today to set up
What is the NPV of the project and should you invest in it?
Key point:
Since the NPV function assumes that the first cashflow is one year
ahead, you need to add the year 0 cashflow separately
You can change the discount rate and see how the NPV changes
As the discount rate decreases, the NPV increases since the PV of the
future cashflows increases

Bonds in Excel
What is the price of a 10-year Eurobond with $1,000 face value, 6%
coupons, and a yield-to-maturity of 7.5%?
Lets use both methods:
Full PV table
NPV function
However, there is another shortcut for bonds:
All the HP-12C functions (n, i, PV, PMT, and FV) are in Excel
Functions: nper(), rate(), pv(), pmt(), and fv()
For the price, we want to use pv(), where the primitives are the yield, the
number of years, the coupon payment, and the face value
Thomas GilbertFinance Day 3 Page 12
Bonds in Excel (2) In Excel, it becomes easy to see what happens when you change some
parameters
This is called sensitivity analysis: how does the outcome change when
you change the base parameters?
What happens to the price when you raise the yield?
What happens to the price when you decrease the yield?
Hence the answer to the classic investment banking interview question:
What happens to bond prices when interest rates rise?
They fall!!!

Yield-to-Maturity in Excel
Lets price the following bond:
What is the yield-to-maturity of the bond?
Use the function rate()
Year Cashflow Discount Rate1 $50 3%
2 $50 4%
3 $50 5.5%
4 $50 8%
5 $1,050 7%

2. Mini-Valuation Cases
Thomas GilbertFinance Day 3 Page 16
Model-Building in Excel The power of Excel for valuation is that if you have built your spreadsheet
in a fully-linked way, you can easily see the impact of a change in the
primitives
Therefore, here are some things you should always do
Put all your primitives (assumptions) at the top
Build your spreadsheet so that all the formulas flow from these
primitives (no manual entries of numbers half-way through)
Valuation Cases: For each of the next two problems, you will work on your
own or in groups (2-4 people) for 15 minutes and then one of you will
present his/her results to the rest of the class

P-pod Investment
Mr. Gonzales owns an import/export business. He is investigating whether to
import a new gadget from Asia a P-pod, which can be used to watch family
photos while driving. Mr. Gonzales estimates the market size for the gadget to be 10,000 units the first
three years and then 50,000 for three years. After this, the gadget will be obsolete.
Mr. Gonzales thinks he can price the gadget at $100 the first two years, at $75 the
following two years and at $40 the final two years. There is a cost of $10 associated
with selling a gadget (shipping), and Mr. Gonzales pays $25 per gadget to the
manufacturer. Mr. Gonzales expects these per-gadget costs to be the same every
year. Moreover, Mr. Gonzales will need to rent a warehouse at a cost of $50,000
per year. Finally, if Mr. Gonzales goes ahead, he must pay the Japanese
manufacturer a one-time license fee of $3 million, to obtain the proprietary rights to
sell the gadget in the US for six years.
Mr. Gonzales is not sure how future cash flows should be discounted (they are
uncertain), but he thinks using a discount rate of somewhere between r = 8% and
r = 15% makes sense.
Should Mr. Gonzales go ahead with this project?

Introduction to Company Valuation The price of one Google share on July 19, 2006 was $398, which implied a
company market value of $120.5B (= price per share * number of shares).
Google reported annual earnings of $1.5B for 2005.
a) Assume that Googles earnings will be constant in perpetuity. Which
discount rate would motivate Googles current market value?

Introduction to Company Valuation (2)
b) From a), clearly Google is expected to expand. Assume that Googles
earnings will be constant for 3 years, then jump to a new, higher, rate
and thereon be constant in perpetuity. Assume the correct discount rate is12%. How much would Googles earning have to jump to motivate its
current market value?

Expectations
I am attaching a final quiz (Quiz #5), which you should be able to solve on
your own at the end of this workshop
If you are having trouble, please get help before the start of the quarter
Remember that the topics covered in this workshop will be assumed known
at the start of your core finance class
You will have to hand in a bond valuation case on the second day of
class
I advise you to look back through these notes and problems the week
before the start of the quarter, in order to refresh your memory

Whats To Come
In the core finance class, you will learn to value much more complex
projects
A firm is a group of projects
A key role of managers is to choose the best projects: NPV > 0
You will learn how to rank projects
What makes one project better than another?
What techniques do we use to account for the risk of projects?
What criteria should managers use to rank projects?
What criteria do investors want managers to use?
Your knowledge of accounting will become important since financial
information is always summarized in accounting statements

Hopefully, you have learned a lot about finance
And you are excited about learning more this quarter
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any question
See you next week!!!
