The Capital Allocation Process


In a well-functioning economy, capital flows
efficiently from those who supply capital to those
who demand it.
Suppliers of capital individuals and institutions with
excess funds.
These groups are saving money and looking for a rate of
return on their investment.
Demanders or users of capital individuals and
institutions who need to raise funds.
These groups are willing to pay a rate of return on the
capital they borrow.

What is a Market?

A market is a venue where goods and


services are exchanged.
A financial market is a place where individuals
and organisations wanting to borrow funds
are brought together with those having a
surplus of funds.

Lessons Learnt 1
There are three ways to transfer the capital
direct transfer, transfer through investment banks
and financial intermediaries.
Financial markets can be classified based on
different dimensions.
There are many types of financial institutions
such as commercial bank, investment bank,
mutual fund, hedge fund, insurance company,
etc.

Interest paid tax deductible for


corporations (paid out of pre-tax income).
Dividends paid paid out of after-tax
income.

Taxes on Dividends and Capital Gains


Received by Investors
Recall: Double
taxation
Dividends received by investors
In the U.S., investors must pay tax on the dividends
received.
In Singapore, dividends received are not taxed.
Capital gains/losses profits/losses from the
sale of shares
In the U.S., capital gains by individuals are taxed
In Singapore, capital gains by individuals are usually not
taxed

Lessons Learnt 2
There are four key financial statements.
Balance sheet provides a snapshot of a firms
financial position at one point in time.
Income statement summarises a firms revenues and
expenses over a given period of time.
Interest paid is tax deductible for corporations while
dividends paid is not since they are paid out of
after-tax income.

Consider Two Banks

If both banks offer the same


interest rates, which one would
you deposit your money with?

now, what would you do with it?

1. Lend to Chanika with 1% interest for a


month!
2. Buy a very nice meal!

2. Buy a very nice meal!
Time preference for consumption: If savers
are willing to defer consumption and save
for future consumption, interest rates will be
relatively lower

there is zero expected inflation
r = represents any nominal rate
rRF = represents the rate of interest on
Treasury securities

Constructing the Treasury Yield Curve:


Inflation
Assume inflation is expected to be 5% next year, 6%
the following year, and 8% thereafter.
IP1 5% /1 5.00%
IP10 [5% 6% 8%(8)]/10 7.50%
IP20 [5% 6% 8%(18)]/ 20 7.75%
Must earn these IPs to break even vs. inflation; these
IPs would permit you to earn r* (before taxes).

Constructing the Yield Curve:


Maturity Risk

rRF, t = r* + IPt + MRPt

Step 2 Find the appropriate maturity risk premium


(MRP). For this example, the following equation will
be used to find a securitys appropriate maturity risk
premium.

MRPt = 0.1% (t 1)

Constructing the Yield Curve:


Maturity Risk
Using the given equation:

MRP1 0.1% (1 1) 0.0%


MRP10 0.1% (10 1) 0.9%
MRP20 0.1% (20 1) 1.9%
Notice that since the equation is linear, the maturity
risk premium is increasing as the time to maturity
increases, as it should be.

Add the IPs and MRPs to r* to Find the


Appropriate Nominal Rates

Step 3 Adding the premiums to r*.


rRF, t = r* + IPt + MRPt

Assume r* = 3%,

Relationship Between Treasury Yield


Curve and Yield Curves for Corporate
Issues
Corporate yield curves are higher than that of
Treasury securities, though not necessarily
parallel to the Treasury curve.
DRP and LP
The spread between corporate and Treasury
yield curves widens as the corporate bond
rating decreases. Corporate bond ratings indicate the
likelihood of default by the borrower,
e.g. AAA-rated, BBB-rated. Measures
default risk.
