Valuation using forward rates, Financial Management

Assignment Help:

We can discount cash flows either by using spot rates or forward rates, because a spot rate is simply a package of short-term forward rates. Assume that the cash flow of period T is $1; then, the present value of the cash flow using the spot rate for period T will be as follows:

         PV of $1 in M periods = 1891_valuation using forward rate.png

We know that,

         yT = [(1 + y1) (1 + 1f1) (1 + 1f2) (1 + 1f3) ..... (1 + 1fT-1)]1/ T - 1

Adding 1 on both sides of the equations,

         (1 + yT)  = [(1 + y1) (1 + 1f1) (1 + 1f2) (1 + 1f3) ..... (1 + 1fT - 1)]1/ T

Raising both sides of the equations to the T-th power, we get:

         (1 + yT)T = [(1 + y1) (1 + 1f1) (1 + 1f2) (1 + 1f3) ..... (1 + 1fT - 1)]

The present value of X1 in M periods can be determined by substituting the value calculated in the above step into the present value formula.

         PV of X1 M periods =680_valuation using forward rate1.png

The present value of Rs.1 in T period is called the forward discount factor for period T.
