1 1 Yield Curve (Preliminary Verion) Floyd Ve, Nov. 014 Yield curve are ofen een in financial lieraure and applied o invemen ranacion. For example, ee Wikipedia.org, Inveopedia.com, or yieldcurve.com. They ofen have a horizonal axi for he number of year for variou bond, and a verical axi of yield. Typically he longer he erm of bond, he higher he yield. Differen ype of yield are ploed uch a YTM, po rae, and forward rae. YTM and erm. Conider Table 1 for bond of lengh 1,, 3, 4, 5 year. The YTM in Table 1 could be ploed making a yield curve. Table 1 i for annual pay par bond a $100 wih 5% ($5) coupon a he end of each year, and value a mauriy of $100. A he end of each year hey pay he coupon of $5 and a mauriy hey pay $100 + $5 = $105. Table 1 Price Number of year YTM $ I year y 1 = 1.8% =.018 $ year y = 3.1% =.031 $ year y 3 = 3.6% =.036 $ year y 4 = 3.9% =.039 $ year y 5 = 4.3% =.043 Price of bond. We will calculae he price of each bond in Table 1, given he erm and YTM. For example conider he wo year bond. The YTM = y = 3.1% =.031 dicoun he 1 paymen of $5 and $105 o he Price. Thu Price = 5(1+ y ) + 105(1+ y ). A convenien way o calculae Price i o ue on he TI84 he funcion npv(inere rae, CF0, CFLi), page 14-8 of he manual. To ue npv(, we fir pu in {5,105} L1. Then nd Finance 7 give npv(. Wrie in 3.1, 0, L1 ) Pre Alpha Solve and read Price = which we round o $ for he price of he wo year bond. For eriou calculaion, five or more digi o he righ of he decimal poin are ofen ued, bu for convenience we will ue differen place depending on he iuaion. (See he Exercie.) Spo rae. From Table 1, we will calculae po rae, r 1, r, r 3, r 4, r 5 for he bond. For example o deermine he po rae r for he wo year bond, we will divide i ino wo zero coupon bond, one bond pay $5 a he end of year 1, and he oher pay $105 a he end of year. We will dicoun he $5 paymen a 1.8% giving $(5/1.018) and ubrac hi value from he $ giving /1.08 and olve for he po rae r which dicoun he $105 for wo year o he difference, giving /1.08 = 105/(1+ r ) and olve for po rae r.

2 A an illuraion, for he year bond, we have old he fir half of he year bond for $( 5/1.08) and purchaed he econd half wih he difference requiring a po rae r = 3.13%. We aume ha hi ranacion i wihou any co of ale or purchae, and oher inerference. Thi calculaion can be done wih he TI84 Solver (page -8). Code and commenary: Clear he home creen. On he home creen, Pre Mah 0. You ee eqn:0=. Wrie / /(1+x ) where x = r. Pre Ener. Wrie 0 nex o x and pre Alpha Solve. You read x = We round o 3.13% for r. To clear he Solver, o he op and Clear. To remove he Solver, urn off, on, Clear For calculaing r 3 we ue Price = 3 (1 r ) (1 r ) (1 r ) 1 3 which give = 3 (1.018) (1.0313) (1 r ) 3 o ge r 3 = = %. See Table for po rae for he bond in Table 1. See he Exercie for more calculaion. Table : Spo rae for bond in Table 1. 1 year 1.8% = r 1 year 3.13% = r 3 year % = r 3 4 year % = r 4 5 year 4.39% = r 5 The po rae r i i he implied zero-coupon rae for he erm beginning a ime zero o he end of period i. (See page 4 of Moorad in he Reference.) Forward rae can be calculae from po rae. They will be denoed f[0,1], f[1,], f[,3], f[3,4], and f[4.5]. For example for f[1,] (1 r ) (1.0313) 1 f 1 1 (1 r1 ) (1.018) 1 [1, ]. Solving give f[1,] = = 4.48%. In general (1 r ) (1) 1 f [, ] for > 0. f[0,1] = r 1. I i probably eaier o calculae hi wih (1 r ) a cienific calculaor pad. See Table 3 and Exercie. For an argumen for Formula 1, from he above dicuion if > 0, he po rae r i he annual effecive rae for an invemen over he period [0,]. So $K grow from ime 0 o ime

3 3 o K(1 + r. If > hen K(1 + r ) hould grow o K(1 + r ). From ime o ime, i ) grow a he rae f[,] o ha K(1 r ) 1 f [, ] K(1 r ). Solving give (1 r ) 1 f [, ] a in Formula 1 above. f [, 1] i a rae for a conrac now, and i he 1 r ) forward one year rae deferred year. f[0,1] = 1.8% f[1,] = 4.48% Table 3: Forward rae for bond in Table 1 and. f[,3] = 4.688% f[3,4] = 4.9% f[4,5] = 6.13% Forward rae are a mahemaical calculaion of where rae hould be in he fuure baed on curren po rae and he rule of arbirage. However, hey are no predicaion of he fuure ince he fuure rae are baed on erm of he fuure, which are no likely o be he ame a curren erm. (Moorhead, page 3) Rae of inere for riky bond. Aume a one year $100 governmen bond pay % and a value a mauriy of $10. We aume he governmen bond i compleely afe. Conider a riky $100 bond which pay 4% and $104 a mauriy. The analy who priced he bond had in mind a probabiliy p of failure of he bond o pay, where he inveor receive $0 a mauriy. We ak, wha probabiliy p did he analy have in mind? Thi give Expeced value = $10 = 0(p) + 104(1-p). Solving for p we have 10 = p, = 104(p), p = nohing. 104 =.019 = 1.9% chance of failure where he inveor pay $100 and receive We ak he queion in revere. If he analy ha calculae he probabiliy of complee failure of he $100 bond o be 1.9%, a wha inere rae hould he bond be quoed, how much hould i pay a mauriy = M? Thi give = 0(.019) + M( ) and olve for M. M = = $104. The $100 bond hould be paying 4%, and $104 a mauriy, if he invemen i ucceful. (See he Exercie.) Dicoun rae. U. S. Treaury Bill are old in $10,000 denominaion by he U. S. Treaury a a dicoun rae baed on face value of $10,000 for erm in week up o 5 week. We give a imulaion drawn from Treaury Bill ale in 1988 wih a dicoun rae d = 7.48% = for a 5 week Bill. A 7.48% bid a he U. S. Treaury aucion mean ha he inveor i willing o pay 100% % = 9.5% of he $10,000 face value. The inveor bid 9.5% of $10,000 = $95. The dicoun rae d = 7.34% = We calculae he yield y of

4 4 95(1+y) = and olve for y = = From hi example we have 10,000(1- d)(1 + y) = 10,000 and (1 - d)(1+ y) = 1 a he maer relaionhip beween dicoun rae d and yield y. (See he Exercie for 014 level of he dicoun rae d for Treaury Bill a he U. S. Treaury Aucion for 5 week Bill.) (Search he inerne for Daily Treaury Bill Rae Daa Deparmen of he Treaury.) 1 y We can olve (1 d)(1 + y) = 1 for d giving d 1 and d. The laer can 1 y 1 y be inerpreed a he inere on $1 dicouned a he yield rae y. Alo d i he raio of he inere y on $1 divided by wha $1 will be in one year. d Solving for y give y which i he raio of he dicoun rae d divided by $1 1 d dicouned a he rae d. If all hi i for one year, we have an effecive dicoun rae and an effecive yield rae. Compounded dicoun rae. For impliciy, y and d are in annual rae and in year, he Fuure Value S = P(1 + y ) = d 1 P 1 P P(1 d) 1d 1d d For he Preen Value P S(1 y) S 1 S(1 d) 1 d.. (See he Exercie. ) Simple dicoun. The borrower i o pay back $100 a he end of = year a imple dicoun rae D =.03 he ge 1001 (.03) = $94. If he borrower receive $94, he payback of $100 = 941 (.03) 1. The amoun paid back can be called he loan amoun. If K i he payback, he borrower receive K(1 - D). If he borrower receive $1, he payback i 1(1 - D ) 1. Simple inere rae. If P dollar i inveed a he imple inere rae R for year, he fuure value S = P(1+R). Noice here i a difference beween imple dicoun and imple inere rae. (See he Exercie and Reference.) Simple inere can be more complicaed. Side Bar Noe: Bond yield are expeced o rie. From rend ince Jan. 013, i ha been exrapolaed ha US wo year governmen bond yield will increae from abou.4% o over % by 10/16. (See a graph in T. Rowe Price Repor, Fall 014.) Median wage wa $38,685 for 1983 and wa $41,444 for 013. Wha wa he annual compounded rae of increae? Wha wa he arihmeic rae of increae. Wha wa he rae of inflaion during hi period? (Bloomberg Buineweek, Nov. 014) Real and UnReal rae. In 1981, he 30 year zero-coupon Treaury bond yielded 15.1%. If you owned $100,000, wha wa i worh in 30 year? Currenly 30 year Treaury zeroe yield
