Financial Concept
Let’s say our cash flow we are trying to value is 100 dollars in period 1, and 100 dollars in period 2.
Now let’s also say that this there are these bonds in the market. The negative numbers in period 0 are the prices
Period 0 | Period 1 | Period 2 |
-95 | 100 | |
-85 | 100 |
If we were to add these prices up, we would get that our cash flows should be priced at 180 dollars. Let’s try with these bonds now.
Period 0 | Period 1 | Period 2 |
-90 | 100 | |
-100 | 10 | 100 |
Now to value these cash flows, we would want to buy 1 of the second bond, and .9 of the first bond (100*.9+10=100). The cost would thus be 100+.9*90=181 dollars.
Solving these problems isn’t hard when there isn’t many cash flows, but once there is a lot we need to start using systems of equations and solving for them. For example, if the cash flows from three different bonds were below:
Period 1 | Period 2 | Period 3 |
100 | ||
10 | 100 | |
5 | 5 | 100 |
Then the system of equations would be:
Year 1 Cash Flow = 100x
1
+ 10x
2
+ 5x
3
Year 2 Cash Flow = 100x
2
+ 5x
3
Year 3 Cash Flow = 100x
3
x
1
= Bond 1; x
2
= Bond 2; x
3
= Bond 3
You would set these equations equal to your cash flows that you want to value.
