Capital Financing Basics
Businesses need capital to acquire the assets needed to provide services.
Capital comes in two basic forms:Debt capital (loans, bonds, debentures) -- liability sources of capitalEquity capital (stock, retained earnings) -- non-liability sources of

Credit Enhancement
Credit enhancement (bond insurance) is available on municipal bonds.
Insured bonds have the rating of the insurer (AAA), not the issuer.
Issuers must pay an up-front fee to obtain bond insurance. (50-75 basis points based on total debt service)

Interest Rate Components
Interest as opportunity cost of debtThe interest rate on any debt security
can be thought of a base rate plus one or more components.
Here is the model:
Rate = RRF + IP + DRP + LP + PRP + CRP.
11 - 12
Copyright © 1999 by the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives
Here:
RRF = Real risk-free rate.
IP = Inflation premium.
DRP = Default risk premium.
LP = Liquidity premium.
PRP = Price risk premium.
CRP = Call risk premium.
11 - 13
Copyright © 1999 by the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives
Interest Rate Example 1
1-Year Treasury Security RRF = 2%; IP = 3%:
Rate = RRF + IP + DRP + LP + PRP + CRP = 2% + 3% + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 5%.
Why are there zeros for DRP, LP, PRP, and CRP?

Interest Rate Example 2
30-Year Columbia/HCA Callable BondRRF = 2%; IP = 4%; DRP, LP, PRP = 1%;CRP = 0.4%:
Rate = RRF + IP + DRP + LP + PRP + CRP = 2% + 4% + 1% + 1% + 1% + 0.4% = 9.4%.

The Term Structure of Interest Rates
Term structure is the relationship between interest rates and debt maturities. (years to maturity)
Thus, term structure tells us the relationship between short-term and long-term rates.
A graph of the term structure is called the yield curve.

Debt Valuation
Why should healthcare managers worry about debt valuation?Managers must understand how
investors make resource allocation decisions.
Cost of financing is important to good capital investment decisions.
Debt valuation concepts are used to value other assets.
11 - 19

General Valuation Model
The financial value of any asset stems from the cash flows that the asset is expected to produce.
Thus, all assets are valued in the same way:Estimate the expected cash flows.Set the required rate of return/discount rateDiscount the cash flows.Sum the present values.

Bond Definitions
1. Par value: Stated face value of the bond. Generally the amount borrowed and repaid at maturity. Often $1,000 or $5,000.
2. Coupon rate: Stated interest rate on the bond. Multiply by par value to get dollar coupon payment. Usually fixed.
11 - 22
Copyright © 1999 by the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives
3. Maturity date: Date when the bond will be repaid. Note that the effective maturity of a bond declines each year after issue.
4. New versus outstanding bonds: When a bond is issued, its coupon rate reflects current conditions. When conditions change, bond values change.
11 - 23
Copyright © 1999 by the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives
5. Debt service requirements: Issuers are concerned with their total debt service payments, including both interest expense and repayment of principal. Many municipal bond issues (serial issues) are structured so that debt service requirements are roughly constant over time.

At maturity, the value of any bond must equal its par value.
The value of a premium bond will decrease to par value at maturity.
The value of a discount bond will increase to par value at maturity.
A par bond value will remain at par if interest rates remain constant.

Yield to Maturity
The yield to maturity (YTM) on a bond is the expected rate of return assuming the bond is held to maturity. (reported bond yields)
Mathematically, it is the discount rate that forces the present value of the cash flows from the bond to equal the bond’s price.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates change constantly, which gives rise to two types of interest rate risk.
Price risk arises because bond values decline when interest rates rise.
Reinvestment rate risk arises because reinvested coupon (and principal) payments earn less when interest rates fall.

Does a 1-year or 10-year bond have more reinvestment rate risk?
Reinvestment rate risk depends both on the bond’s maturity and the investor’s holding period.
In general, the shorter the maturity, the greater the reinvestment rate risk.
11 - 46
Copyright © 1999 by the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives
Long-term bonds have high price risk but low reinvestment rate risk.
Short-term bonds have low price risk but high reinvestment rate risk.
Nothing is riskless! However, risk can be minimized by matching the maturity of the bond to the holding period.
How can interest rate riskbe minimized?
