How to calculate Convexity Duration with example?


Example: Find out the convexity of a 6 year bond whose face value is Rs. 10, 000. It bears 6% coupon rate p.a. The current market price of a bond is Rs. 9, 880. If the yield rate increases from 6% to 8% then the price will be Rs. 9, 860. And if the yield rate decreases from 6% to 4% then the price will increases up to Rs. 10, 100.

Solution: P (interest decreases) + P (interest increases) – 2P0 / 2* P0 * ∆y 2
= 10,100 + 9, 860 – 2*9, 880 / 2*9, 880*(0.02) 2
= 19, 960 – 19, 760 / 19, 760* 0.0004
= 200/ 7.904
= 25.30

Example: Find out which of these bonds are less risky with the help of convexity of bond.
 Both bond A and B has 3 years of maturity and bears 7% coupon rate compounded annually. The face value of both the bond is Rs. 10, 000. The yield rate of Bond A is 8.5% and bond B is 10% compounded annually.

Solution: Bond A:

= 4.37 years
Convexity = PV*t(t+t) / Pv*(1+y) 2
= 2, 38, 176.76 / 9, 523.12* (1.082)2
= 2, 38, 176.76 / 11, 148.71

Macaulay Duration = 38, 501.54 / 8, 862.42
= 4.34 years
Convexity = PV*t(t+t) / Pv*(1+y) 2
= 2, 19, 925.3 / 8, 862.42*(1.1) 2
= 20.50
Bond B has lower convexity than bond A so, bond B is best for investment.

Example: Calculate the convexity and duration of a bond if the bond bears 6% semi-annual coupon rate for 4 years. The yield rate of a bond is 7.5% compounded semi-annually. The face value of bond is Rs. 10, 000.

Macaulay Duration = 34, 190.925 / 9, 489.81
= 3.60 years
Modified duration = 3.60 / (1 + 0.0375)
= 3.46 years
Convexity = PV*t(t+t) / Pv*(1+y) 2
= 1, 48, 410.795 / 9, 489.81*(1+0.0375) 2
= 1, 48, 410.795 / 10, 214.89
= 14.528

Example: Calculate the percentage change in bond price if the yield decreases by 3%. The coupon rate of a bond is 8% compounded quarterly. The present value of a bond is Rs. 10,200. The modified duration of a bond is 4.36 years.

Solution: ∆P /P= D*∆y
= 4.36*0.03
= 13.08% increase in price of a bond

Example: If the yield rate is increases by 4%.The current yield rate is 5% p.a. The current market price of a bond is Rs. 8, 870. Find out the change in price of a bond if the modified duration is 2.64 years and convexity is 5.48.

Solution: ∆P = -D*P*∆y + 0.5*C*P*∆y 2
= -2.64*8, 870*0.04 + 0.5*5.48* 8, 870*(0.04) 2
= -936.672 + 38.88608
=Rs.-897.785 fall in price of a bond.

How to calculate Cost of Preference Share Capital?

Cost of Preference Share Capital:  An amount paid by company as dividend to preference shareholder is known as Cost of Preference Share Capital. Preference share is a small unit of a company’s capital which bears fixed rate of dividend and holder of it gets dividend when company earn profit. Dividend payable is not a tax deductible amount. So, there is no tax adjustments required for comparing with cost of debt. Formula for Cost of Preference Share: Irredeemable Preference Share Redeemable Preference Share K p  = Dp/NP K p  = D p +((RV-NP)/n )/ (RV+NP)/2 Where, K p  = Cost of Preference Share D p  = Dividend on preference share NP = Net proceeds from issue of preference share (Issue price – Flotation cost) RV = Redemption Value N = Period of preference share Example:  A company issues 20,000 irredeemable preference share at 8% whose face value is Rs.50 each at 4% discount. Find out the Cost of ...

What is Working Capital Leverage (WCL)?

Working capital leverage: It shows the sensitivity of the return on investment with change in current assets. As we all know the working capital is difference between current assets and current liabilities. And the working capital is use for meeting day to day capital requirements in business operations. With the help of working capital leverage we will find out how productivity or profitability of a business is affected by change in current assets. Formula: Working Capital Leverage (WCL) = % ∆ ROE / % ∆ CA Or If % decreases in current assets: WCL= CA / TA - ∆ CA If % increases in current assets: WCL = CA / TA + ∆ CA Where, CA = current assets TA = total assets ROE = return of capital employed or return on investment ∆ CA = change in current assets Example: Company A total assets are Rs. 17, 60, 800 and the current assets are Rs. 6, 00,000. The fixed assets are Rs. 11, 60, 800. Find out the working capital leverage if the current asset increases by 15...
