Q.3. The G.M ltd. Has non-callable, perpetual bonds outstanding. When originally issued,
the perpetual bonds sold for Rs.955 per bond while today (January 1) their current
market price is Rs.1, 120 per bond. The company pays a semiannual interest Rs.55 per
bond on June, 30 and
December 31 each year.
As of today (January 1) what is the implied semiannual yield on these bonds?
Using your answer to (a), what is the (minimal annual) yield on these bonds? The effective
annual yield to these bonds.
Current price of bond = 1.120
Since the bond is perpetual bond, the current price is considered as the present value of this
bond.
Therefore,
V=I/k
Where I is the amount paid on bond semi annually and k is the implied semi annually yield on
this bond
1,120 = 55 / k
k = 55 / 1,120 = 0.05 or 5 %
Nominal yield per annum = 2 ( k ) = 2 ( 0.05 ) = 0.10 or 10 %
Effective yield = ( 1 + nominal yield / 2 )2 – 1

= ( 1 + 0.10 / 2 )2 – 1 = ( 1 + 0.05 )2 – 1 = ( 1 .05 )2 – 1
= 1.1025 – 1 = 0.1025 or 10.25 %
Q.4. Complete the following balance sheet for the Range Company using the following
information’s.
Debt to asset = 60 %
Quick ratio = 1.1
Asset turnover = 5 times
Fixed asset turnover = 12.037
Current ratio = 2
Average collection period = 16.837 days
Assume that all sales are on credit and a 360 days year.
Cash Current liabilities
Receivables Bonds payables
Inventory Net worth
Total current assets Tot. liabilities and net worth
Plant and equipment
Total assets Rs.325,000
Cash 28,495 J Current liabilities 95,000 E
Receivable 76,005 I Bond payable 195,000 B
Inventory 85,500 H Total liabilities 290,000 F
Total C. assets 192,000 D Net worth 35,000 G
Plant & Equip. 135,000 C

Total assets 325,000 Liabilities & net worth 325,000 A
Calculation A
Total liabilities and net worth = Total assets = 235,000
Calculation B
Debt to asset = Total debt / Total asset = Bond payable / Total asset = 0.6
Bond payable = Total asset x 0.6 = 325,000 x 0.6 = 195,000
Calculation C
Asset turnover = Sales / Total asset = 5
Sales = Total asset x 5 = 325,000 x 5 = 1,625,000
Fixed asset turnover = Sales / Fixed assets = Sales / Plant & Equipment =
12.037
Plant & Equipment = Sales / 12.037 = 1,625,000 / 12.037 = 135,000
Calculation D
Current asset = Total asset -- Plant & Equipment
Current asset = 235,000 – 135,000 = 190,000
Calculation E
Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities = 2
Current liabilities = Current asset / 2 = 190,000 / 2 = 95,000
Calculation F
Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Total debt
Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Bond payable
Total liabilities = 95,000 + 195,000 = 290,000
Calculation G
Net worth = Total liabilities & Net worth – Total liabilities
Net worth = 325,000 – 290,000 = 35,000
Calculation H
Quick ratio = Quick asset / Current liabilities = 1.1
= ( Cash + Receivable ) / 95,000
Cash + Receivable = 1.1 x 95,000 = 104,500
Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities = 2
Current asset = 2 x 95,000 = 190,000
Cash + Receivable + Inventory = 190,000
Inventory = 190,000 – Cash + Receivable = 190,000 – 104.500 = 85,500

Calculation I
Average collection period = 360 / Receivable turnover
Receivable turnover = 360 / Average collection period = 360 / 16.837 =
21.38
Receivable turnover = Sales / Receivable
Receivable = Sales / Receivable turnover = 1,625,000 / 21.38 = 76,005
Calculation J
Cash + Receivable = 104,500
Cash = 104,500 – 76,005 = 28,495

Total 368988 389447.5 400246.5
Now we can calculate the exact IRR by ratio method:
400,247 – 400,000 = 247
400,247 – 389,448 = 10,799
IRR = 11 + 247 / 10799 = 11 + 0.023 = 11.023 %
Net present value at 15 %

Year Cash flow P.V factor Present value

4 111,500 0.572 63,778
5 156,500 0.497 77,781
Total present value = 359,640
Net present value at 15 % = 359,640 – 400,000 = -- 40,360
Profitability index at 15 %
P.I = Present value of future cash flows / initial investment
P.I = 359,640 / 400,000 = 0.8991
Q.6. Stallings paints company has fixed operating costs of Rs.3 million a
year. Variable operating costs are Rs.1.75 per half pint of paint produced and the average
selling price is Rs.2 per half pint.
What is the annual operating breakeven point in half pints (QBE)? In

rupees of sales (SBE)?
If variable cost decline to Rs.1.68 per half pint, what would happen to the
operating break even point (QBE)?
Compute the degree of operating leverage (DOL) at the current sales

level of 16 million half pints.
If sales are expected to increase by 15 % from the current sales level, what would be the
resulting percentage change in operating profit (EBIT) from current position?
Fixed cost = FC = 3,000,000
Variable cost = VC = 1.75 per half pint
Selling price = SP = 2 per half pint
(a)
Breakeven quantity = QBE = ?
Breakeven sales = SBE = ?
FC 3,000,000 3,000,000
QBE = ------------- = --------------- = -------------- = 12,000,000 half pint
SP – VC 2.00 – 1.75 0.25
SBE = FC + Total variable cost = FC + VC (QBE)
SBE = 3,000,000 + 1.75 ( 12,000,000) = 3,000,000 + 21,000,000 =
24,000,000
(b)

16,000,000 – 12,000,000 4,000,000

(d)
EBIT = Q ( SP – VC ) – FC
EBIT at present sale = 16,000,000 ( 2.00 – 1.75 ) – 3,000,000
= 4,000,000 – 3,000,000 = 1,000,000
EBIT with 15% increased sale = 1.15 ( 4,000,000 ) – 3,000,000
= 4,600,000 – 3,000,000 = 1,600,000

Q.7. Poris Pottery spends Rs.220,000 per annum on its collection
department. The company has 12 million in credit sales, its average collection period of 2.5
months, and the percentage of bad debt losses is 4 %. The company believes that if it were
to double its collection personnel, it could bring down the average collection period to
2 months and bad debt losses to 3 percent.
The added cost is Rs.180,000, bringing total collection expenditure to
Rs.400,000 annually. Is the increased effort worthwhile, if the before tax opportunity cost
of funds is 20 %? If it is 10%?
SO = 12,000,000
SN = 12,000,000
ΔS = 0
K = 10% and 20 %
ACP0 = 75 days
ACPN = 60 days
ΔI = Incremental change in investment in receivable
ΔP = Incremental change in profit
B0 = 4 %
BN = 3 %
ΔI = [ ACPN – ACP0 ][ S0/360]
= (60 – 75) (12,000,000 / 360) = - 500,000
For K = 10 %
ΔP = [ – K (ΔI ) – S0 (BN – B0 )]
= [ -- 0.1 ( -- 500,000 ) – 12,000,000 ( 0.03 – 0.04 ) ]
= [ 50,000 – 12,000,000 ( -- 0.01 ) ] = 50,000 + 120,000 = 170,000
For k = 20 %
ΔP = [ – K (ΔI ) – S0 (BN – B0 )]
= [ -- 0.2 ( -- 500,000 ) – 12,000,000 ( 0.03 – 0.04 ) ]
= [ 100,000 – 12,000,000 ( -- 0.01 ) ] = 100,000 + 120,000 = 220,000
The incremental profit for the new policy with 10 % opportunity cost is
Rs.170,000 and with 20 %

opportunity cost is Rs.220,000. Since the additional cost incurred for new
credit policy is Rs.180,000, therefore, the company can use new credit policy only with 20 %
opportunity cost and not with 10 % opportunity cost.

Q1(a) Define financial management and enumerate its functions.
Q1(b) How does the notion of risk and reward govern the behavior of
financial manager?
Q2 Tariq Corporation currently pays a dividend of Rs.3 per share and this dividend is
expected to grow at a 10 % annual rate for 5 years, then at 8 % for the next three years.
After which it is
expected to grow at a 5 % rate forever.
(a) What value would you place on the stock if an 18 % rate return were required?
Phase one and two: present value of dividends to be received over first 8 years
End of year Dividend X present value factor present value

At 18 % of dividend
1 3.00 (1.10)1 = 3.30000 X 0.847 2.79510
2 3.00 (1.10)2 = 3.63000 X 0.718 2.60634
3 3.00 (1.10)3 = 3.99300 X 0.609 2.43174
4 3.00 (1.10)4 = 4.39230 X 0.516 2.26642
5 3.00 (1.10)5 = 4.83153 X 0.437 2.11138
6 4.83153 (1.08)1 = 5.21805 X 0.370 1.93068
7 4.83153 (1.08)2 = 5.63549 X 0.314 1.76954
8 4.83153 (1.08)3 = 6.08633 X 0.266 1.61896
Sum of present value 17.53016
========
Dividend at the end of year 9 = 6.08633 (1.05) = 6.39095
Value of the stock at the end of 8 years = D9 / (Ke – g) = 6.39095 / (0.18
– 0.05)
= 6.39095 / 0.13 = 49.16115
Present value of 49.16115 = 49.16115 (0.225) = 11.06126
Present value of stock = V = 17.53 + 11.06 = 28.59
(b) Would your valuation change if you expected to hold the stock only for 3 years?
The valuation of stock will be change if we hold the stock for only three years. The calculations
are as under.
End of year Dividend X present value factor present value
At 18 % of dividend
1 3.00 (1.10)1 = 3.30000 X 0.847 2.79510
2 3.00 (1.10)2 = 3.63000 X 0.718 2.60634
3 3.00 (1.10)3 = 3.99300 X 0.609 2.43174
7.83318
======
Value of the stock at the end of 3 years = D3 / (Ke – g) = 2.43174 / (0.18
– 0.10) = 30.397
Present value of 30.397 = 30.397 ( 0.609) = 18.51
Value of stock = 18.51 + 7.83 = Rs.26.34

4 35,000 0.35 12250 0.36 12600 0.198 6930
Total 32685 30300 22480
IRR = Initial present value % + (Difference of present value %)
(Difference b/w maximum value and initial investment ) / difference between two present
values
IRR = 40 + (10) (30,300 – 25,000) / (30,330 – 22,480) = 40 + 53,000 /
7,853 = 40 + 6.75 = 46.75%
IRR for project B:
Present value at 20 % = (60,000) (PVIF 0.2, 4 ) = 60,000 (0.482) =
28,920
Present value at 25 % = (60,000) (PVIF 0.25, 4 ) = 60,000 (0.410) =
24,600
IRR = 20 + (5) (28,920 – 25,000) / (28,920 – 24,600) = 20 + 19,600 /
4,320 = 20 + 4.54 = 24.54 %
b. Assume a required rate of return of 10 %, determine the net present value of each project.
Year cash flow P.V at 10 % (A) P.V at 10 % (B)
1 10,000 0.909 9090
2 10,000 0.826 8260
3 15,000 0.751 11265
4 35,000 0.683 23905 0.683 40980
Total 52520 40980
Net present value for project A will be 52,520 – 25,000 = 27,520
Net present value for project B will be 40,980 – 25,000 = 15,980
c. Which project would you select? What assumptions are inherent ion
your decision.
We will select project A as it has greater IRR and NPV

a. What is the implied forward rate on 1-year loan 4-years in the future?
b. How can you arrange for such a forward contract?
c. Suppose interest rates decline so that the 4- year security yields 8% and the 5- year security
8.40%. What happens to forward rate.
What overall relationship prevails between actual rates and forward rate?
Q1 Cheryl’s Menswear feels that its credit costs are too high. By tightening its credit
standards, bad debts will fall from 5 % of sales to 2 %. However, sales will fall from 100,
000 to 90, 000 per year. The variable cost per unit is 50% of the sale price, and the average
investment in
receivables is expected to remain unchanged.
(a) What cost will the firm face in reduced contribution to profit from sales.
SO = Current sales = 100, 000

SN = New sales = 90, 000
ΔS = Incremental sales = 90, 000 – 100, 000 = - 10, 000
V = Variable cost as percentage of sales = 0.50
1 – V = Contribution margin as percentage of sales = 1 – 0.50 = 0.50
K = Cost of financing or cost of capital
B0 = Present bad debt percentage = 5 %
BN = New bad debt percentage = 2 %
The firm reduction in contributory margin will be:
[ΔS (1 – V) ] = - 10, 000 ( 1 – 0.5 ) = 10, 000 ( 0.5 ) = - 5, 000
(b) Should the firm tighten its credit standard?
In order to see that firm should tighten its credit standard or not, we have
to see what is the value of the benefit by reduction of bad debts.

Reduction of bad debts = (BN SN– B0 S0) = [ (0.02)(90, 000) –
(0.05)(100, 000)]
= 1, 800 – 5, 000 = - 3, 200
Because the reduction in bad debts Rs.3, 200 is less than the reduction of contributory margin
which is Rs.5, 000, the firm should not tighten its credit standard.
Q2 Lockbox system can shorten Orient Oil’s Accounts Receivable collection period by 3
days, credit sales are $ 3,240,000 per year, billed on a continuous basis. The firm has other
equally risky investments with a return of 15%. The cost of the lockbox is $ 9,000 per year.
What amount of cash will be made available for other uses under the lockbox system?
Average collection period existing = X1
New collection period = X2 = X1 – 3
Existing receivable = Y1
New receivable = Y2
360 (Average receivable)
Average collection period = ---------------------------------
Credit sales
360 ( Y1 )

000 ( X1 – 3 )
3, 240, 000
Decrease in accounts receivable = Y1 – Y2 = 9, 000 X1 – 9, 000 ( X1 – 3 )
= 9, 000 X1 – 9, 000 X1 + 27, 000 = 27,000
This amount is available for other uses.
What net benefit (cost) will the firm receive if it adopts the lockbox
system? Should it adopt the proposed lockbox system?
The cost of using the new system will be Rs.9, 000 per year whereas company can save Rs.27,
000 in investment in receivable. Therefore company can save 27, 000 – 9, 000 = 18, 000 by
using the new system.

Q6 Easi Chair Company is attempting to select the best of three mutually exclusive
projects. The initial investment and after-tax cash inflows associated with each project are
shown in the following table.
Cash flows Project A ($) Project B ($) Project C ($)
Initial investment 60,000 100,000 110,000
Cash inflows (CF) year 1-5 20,000 31,500 32,500
Calculate the payback period for each project.
Pay back period for project A = 60, 000 / 20, 000 = 3 years
Pay back period for project B = 100, 000 / 31, 500 = 3.17 years or 4 years
Pay back period for project C = 110, 000 / 32, 500 = 3.38 years or 4 years
Calculate the net present value (NPV) of each project, assuming that
the firm has a cost of capital equal to 13%.
NPV for project A = PV of future cash flows – initial investment
= 20, 000 (3.517) – 60, 000 = 70, 340 – 60, 000 = 10, 340
NPV for project B = PV of future cash flows – initial investment

= 31, 500 (3.517) – 100, 000 = 110, 785.50 – 100, 000 = 10, 785.50
NPV for project C = PV of future cash flows – initial investment
= 32, 500 (3.517) – 110, 000 = 114, 302.50 – 110, 000 = 4, 302.50
Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for each project.
IRR for project A
PV for project A at 15 % = 20, 000 (3.352) = 67, 040

67, 040 – 59, 820 = 7, 220
67, 040 – 60, 000 = 7, 040
IRR = 15 + (7, 040 / 7, 220 ) 5 = 15 + 4.87 = 19.87 %
IRR for project B
PV for project B at 15 % = 31, 500 (3.352) = 105, 588
PV for project B at 20 % = 31, 500 (2.991) = 94, 216.50
105, 588 – 94, 216.50 = 11, 371.50
105, 588 – 100, 000 = 5, 588
IRR = 15 + (5, 588 / 11, 371.50 ) 5 = 15 + 2.457 = 17.547
IRR for project C
PV for project C at 15 % = 32, 500 (3.352) = 108, 940
114, 302.50 – 110, 000 = 4, 302.50
114, 302.50 – 108, 940 = 5. 362.50
IRR = 13 + (4, 302.50 / 5, 362.50 ) 2 = 13 + 1.6 = 14.6
Summarize the preferences dictated by each measure, and indicate which project you would
recommend. Explain why.
PROJECT A PROJECT B PROJECT C
PAY BACK PERIOD 3 Years 4 years 4 years
NPV 10, 340 10, 785.50 4, 302.50

IRR 19.87 % 17.547 % 14.6 %
Project C is out of question as it has less NPV and IRR in comparison

with project A and B. In selecting between project A and B, project B has more NPV but less
IRR than project A. In order to select, we have to calculate profitability index and we will select
the project which has greater PI.
PI = present value of future cash flows / initial investment
PI for project A = 10, 340 / 60, 000 = 0.1723
PI for project B = 10, 785.50 / 100, 000 = 0.1078
Therefore we will select project A
Q7 Redenour Supply has an issue of $ 1,000-par-value bonds with a 12%

coupon interest rate outstanding. The issue pays interest annually and has 16 years
remaining to its maturity date.
If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a 10% rate of return, how much should the
Redenour Supply bond sell for today?
V = I (present value annuity factor for 16 years at 10 %) + MV (present

value factor for single payment for 16th year at 10 %
V = 120 (7.824) + 1, 000 (0.218) = 938.88 + 218 = 1, 156.88
Describe the two possible reasons that similar risk bonds are currently earning a return below
the coupon interest rate on the Redenour Supply bond.
If the required return were at 12% instead of 10%, what would the current value of Redenour
Supply’s bond be? Contrast this with your findings in
(a) and discuss.
V = I (present value annuity factor for 16 years at 12 %) + MV (present value factor for single
payment for 16th year at 12 %)
V = 120 (6.974) + 1, 000 (0.163) = 836.88 + 163 = 999.88
Q8(a) What is a common-size income statement? Which three ratios of profitability are
found on this statement?
Q8(b) Define and differentiate between return on total assets (ROA) and return on equity
(ROE).
Which measure is probably of greatest interest to owners? Why?

Q.1(a) Which firm is more profitable firm A with the total assets turn over 10.0 and a net
profit of 2% or firm B with the total assets turn over 2.0 and a net profit of 10%? Provide
example of both types of firm.
Return on Assets = (Net profit margin) (Total Assets turnover)
Firm A = 2 x 10 = 20 %
Firm B = 10 x 2 = 20 %
Two firms with different net profit margins and total asset turnover may have the same earning
power (Return on Assets) Firm A, with a net profit margin of only 2 percent and a total asset
turnover of 10 have the same earning power of 20 percent as Firm B, with a net profit margin of
10 percent and total asset turnover of 2. For each firm every dollar invested in assets returns 20
percent.
Q.1(b) Does increasing the firm’s inventory turnover ratio increase its profitability? Why
should this ratio be computed using costs of good sold (rather than sales, as is done by
some compliers of financial statistics)?
Two problems arise in calculating and analyzing the inventory turnover ratio.
First, sales are stated at market price, so if inventories are carried at cost, as generally are, the
calculated turnover overstates the true turnover ratio.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate to use cost of goods sold in place of sales in the
numerator of the formula.
The second problem lies in the fact that the sales occur over the entire year, whereas the
inventory figure is for one point in time. For this reason, it is better to use an average inventory
measure.
Q2 Patterson’s part store expects sales of $100,000 during each of the next 3 months. It
will make monthly purchases of $60,000 during this time. Wages and salaries are $10,000
per month plus 5% of sales.
Patterson’s expects to make a tax payment of $20,000 in the next month and $1,500 purchase of
fixed assets in the second month and to receive $8,000 in cash from the sale of an asset in the
third month. All sales and purchases are for cash. Beginning cash and min.
cash balance is assumed to be zero.

Q3 Sorbond industries have a beta of 1.45, the risk free rate is 8% and the expected return
on the market portfolio is 13%. The co. presently pays a dividend of $2 a share, and
investors expect it to experience a growth of 10% per annum for many years to come.
a. What is the stock required rate of return according to CAPM?
Β = 1.45 Rf = 0.08 Rm = 0.13 D0 = 2 g = 0.10
R = Rf + β (Rm – Rf ) = 0.08 + 1.45 (0.13 – 0.08) = 0.08 + 0.0725 =
0.1525 or 15.25 %
b. What is the stock’s present market price per share, assuming this required rate?
V = D / (R – g ) = 2 / (0.1525 – 0.10) = 2 / 0.0525 = 30
c. What would happen to the required return and to market price per share if the beta were 0.80?
(Assume that all else stay the same)
R = Rf + β (Rm – Rf ) = 0.08 + 0.80 (0.13 – 0.08) = 0.08 + 0.04 = 0.12 or 12 %
V = D / (R – g ) = 2 / (0.12 – 0.10) = 2 / 0.02 = 100
Q4 ZZZ worst co. presently has total assets of $3.2 million, of which current assets
comprises $0.2 million. Sales are $10 million annually, and the before tax net profit
margin (the firm currently has no interest bearing debt) is 12%. Given renewed fears of
potential cash insolvency and
overly strict credit policy, and imminent stock outs, the company is considering higher
level of current assets as a buffer against adversity. Specifically, levels of $0.5 million and
$.8 million are being considered instead of 0.2 million presently held. Any additions to
current assets would be financed with new equity capital.
Required: Determine the total assets turnover, before tax return on investment, and before tax
profit margin under the three alternative levels of current assets.
Present Option 1 Option 2
Sales 10 M 10 M 10 M
Current asset 0.2 M 0.5 M 0.8 M
Total asset = 3.2 – 0.2 + new current asset 3.2 M 3.5 M 3.8 M
EBIT 1.2 M 1.2 M 1.2 M
Total asset turnover = Sales / Total asset 3.125 2.857 2.632
Return on asset = EBIT / Total asset 0.375 0.3429 0.3158
Net profit margin 0.12 0.12 0.12
Net profit = sales (net profit margin) 1.2 M 1.2 M 1.2 M
Q5 The Dud co. purchases raw material on terms of “2/10, net 30”. A review of the co.
record by owner, Mr. Dud, revealed that payments are usually made 15 days after
purchase are received.
When asked why the co. did not take advantage of its discount, the bookkeeper, Mr.
Blunder replied that it cost only 2% for these funds, whereas a bank loan would cost the
firm 12%.
(a) What mistake is Mr. Blunder making?
Mr. Blunder is making following mistakes.
1- He is not taking advantage of discounts offered to the firm as per terms “2/10, net30.”
2- After giving up discounts, he is usually making payments 15 days after purchases are
received.
3- Bank loan is more costly than trade credit funds.
(b) What is the real cost of not taking the advantage?
Annual cost if % discount 360
Discount is not = ----------------------- x ---------------------------------------
taken 100 - % discount payment date – discount period

= (2 / (100 – 2 ) (360 / [(30 – 20 )] = (2 / 98) (360 / 20) = 0.367 or 36.7 %
But as the Dud company usually makes payments 15 days after purchases are received, the real
cost of not taking discounts would be much as worked out below:
= (2 / (100 – 2 ) (360 / [(15 – 10 )] = (2 / 98) (360 / 5) = 1.468 or 156.8 %
(c) If the firm could not borrow from bank and were resort to the trade credit funds, what
suggestion might be made to Mr. Blunder that would reduce the annual interest cost?
If the company could not avail discount it should make its payments on the final due date, i.e.,
30 days after purchase are received. And if possible, these payments can be stretched for a
period of a week or
10 days.
Q6 The Crazy horse hotel has capacity to stable 50 horses. The fee for stabling a horse is $100
per month. Maintenance, depreciation and other fixed operating cost total $1200 per month.
Variable operating cost per horse is $12 per month for hay and bedding
and $8 for grain.
(a) Determine the monthly break even point (in horses stable)
BE in quantity or QBE = Fixed cost / (Unit sales price – Unit variable cost)
= 1,200 / (100 – 20) = 15
(b) Compute the monthly operating profits if an average of 40 horses are stabled.
Operating profit = 40 (100 – 20 ) – 1,200 = 3,200 – 1,200 = 2,000

Q8 (a) contrast the objective of maximizing earnings with that of maximizing wealth.
(b) Explain why judging the efficiency of any financial decision require the existence of
goal.
Q.1 You have just opened a new business and expect to generate $250,000 in sales during your
first year of operation. You recently looked the following industry average for the selected
group of financial ratios:
Asset turnover 1.5
Net profit margin 8%
Gross profit margin 30%
Debt ratio 50%
Current ratio 2.1
Current assets, as % of sales 40%
Calculate the following year end totals, assuming you expect your firm’s financial positions to
mirror that of industry:
(a) Total assets
Total Asset turnover = 1 .5 = Sales / Total asset
Total asset = Sales / 1.5 = 250,000 / 1.5 = $166,667
(b) Net profit
Net Profit = Sales (Net profit margin) = $250,000 (0.08) = $20,000
(e) Current assets
Current asset = Sales (0.40) = 250,000 (0.40) = $100,000

(d) Current liabilities
Current ratio = 2 (Current Asset / Current liabilities)
Current Liabilities = Current Asset / 2 = 100,000 / 2 = $50,000

(c) Long term debt
Debt Ratio = 0.5 = Total Debt / Total asset = (CL +LTD) / Total assets
LTD = 0.5 (Total asset) – CL = 0.5 (166,167) – 50,000 = 83,083 – 50,000
= $33,083
(f) Cost of goods sold
Cost goods sold = Sales – Sales (Gross profit margin)
CGS = 250,000 – 250,000 (0.30) = 250,000 – 75,000 = $175,000
Q.2(a) Choctaw Oilfield Services made a $225,000 operating profit last year and paid
$160,000 in interest expense. How much financial leverage does Choctaw have? If
operating profits drop 50 percent this year, what effect does its financial leverage have on
Choctaw’s net profit?
Degree of financial leverage = DFL = (Operating profit) / (Operating
profit – Interest expanse)
DFL = (225,000) / (225,000 – 160,000) = 3.46 times
Effect of net profit = 50 % (3.46) = 1.73 or 173 %
Q.2(b) What are the weaknesses of breakeven analysis?

Q.5 ACME production has daily sales of $100,000. You may assume a 360 days year.
Currently all accounts are payable within 30 days. Its new financial manager thinks that
by offering a cash discount its sales will increase 25 percent. Acme’s cost of capital is 12
percent and its direct
production expenses are 60 percent of its sales. The financial manager feels that if its
terms were 2/10 net, 20, 50 percent of its customers would take the cash discount. The
collection expenses are not expected to be significant. Should acme follow its financial
manager advice?
SO = 100,000 (360) = 36,000,000
SN = 36,000,000 (1.25) = 45,000,000
ΔS = 45,000,000 – 36,000,000 = 9,000,000
V = 0.6
1 – V = 1 – 0.60 = 0.40
K = 0.12
ACP0 = 30 days
ACPN = 20 days
P0 = 0
PN = 0.5
D0 = 0
DN = 0.02
= [ACPN – ACP0] [SN/360] + [V (ACP0) (ΔS/360)]
= [ 25 – 30] [ 45,000,000 / 360 ] + [ 0.6 ( 30) ( 9,000,000 / 360) ]
= (– 5) (125,000) + 450,000 = 450,000 – 625,000 = – 175,000
ΔP = Incremental change in profit ΔP = [ΔS (1 – V) – K (ΔI) – (BN SN–
B0 S0) – (D0 S0 P0 – DN SN P1)]
= [9,000,000 (0.4) – 0.12 ( – 175,000)] = 3,600,000 + 21,000 = 3,621,000
Since profit is increased because of new policy, AC ME should follow its financial manager’s
advice.
Q.6 Economics unlimited forecast inventory needs for the coming year at 2.5 million
widgets.
Orders have to be placed in multiple of 1,000 widgets and it costs $10 to place an order.
Carrying costs are $.50 per widget. What is EOQ and average inventory level? How many
orders are placed during the year?
Annual requirements = A = 2,500,000 widgets
Order to be placed in multiple of 1,000
Cost of placing an order = Oc = 10

Carrying cost = Cc = 0.5
2 ( A) (Oc) 2 (2,500,000) (10) 50,000,000
EOQ = ---------------- = ------------------------ = --------------- = √
100,000,000 = 10,000
√ Cc √ 0.5 √ 0.5
Average inventory = 10,000 / 2 = 5,000
Number of orders per year = 2,500,000 / 10,000 = 250 times

Q.8(b) Describe how break even analysis can be useful for a manager finance?
Q.1. Loquat Foods Company is able to borrow at an interest rate of9 percent for one year.
For the year, market participants expect 4 percent inflation.
a. What approximate real rate of return does the lender expect? What is the inflation premium
embodied in the nominal interest rate?
The expected real rate of return is 5 percent, and the inflation premium is 4 percent.
b. If inflation proves to be 2 percent for the year, does the lender suffer? Does the borrower
suffer? Why?
The lender gains in that his real return is 7 percent instead of the 5 percent that was expected. In
contrast, the borrower suffers in having to pay a higher real return than expected. In other
words, the loan is repaid with more expensive dollars than anticipated.
c. If inflation proves to be 6 percent, who gains and who loses?
With 6 percent inflation, the real return of the lender is only 3 percent, so he suffers whereas the
borrower gains.
Q.2. Delphi Products Corporation currently pays a dividend of $2 per share, and this
dividend is expected to grow at a 15 percent annual rate for three years, and then at a 10
percent rate for the next three years, after which it is expected to grow at a 5 percent rate
forever. What value
would you place on the stock if an 18 percent rate of return was required?
Phase: one
Phase: two
Total Present value = 10.53
Phase: 3
Dividend at the end of year 7 = 4.05 (1 + 0.05) = 4.25
Value of stock at the end of year 6 = D 7 / (Ke – g ) = 4.25 / (0.18 – 0.05)
= 32.69
Present value of 32.69 = 32.69 (PVIF, 18%,6 ) = 32.69 (0.370) = 12.10
V = 12.10 + 10.53 = 22.63

Q.5 Mendez Metal Specialties. Inc. has a seasonal pattern to its business. It borrows under
a line of credit from Central Bank at 1% over prime. Its total asset requirements now (at
year end) and estimated requirements for the coming year are (in millions):
Now 1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q
Total asset requirements $4.5 $4.8 $5.5 $5.9 $5.0
Assume that, these requirements are level throughout the quarter.

Presently, the company has $4.5 million in equity capital and long term debt plus the permanent
component of current liabilities, and
this mount will remain constant throughout the year.
The prime rate presently is 11 % and the company expects no change in this rate for the next
year.
Mendez Metal Specialties is also considering issuing intermediate - term debt at an interest late
of 13.5%. In this regard, three alternative amounts are under consideration: zero, $ 500,000 and
$ 1 million.
All additional funds requirements will be borrowed under the company’s bank line of credit.
(a) Determine the total dollar borrowing costs for short and intermediate-term debt under each
of the three alternatives for the coming year. (Assume. that there are no changes in current
liabilities other than borrowings). Which alternative is lowest in cost’?
Alternative 1: 0 intermediate term debt and all finance is from bank borrowing Bank loan cost =
(11 + 1) / 4 = 3 % per quarter
Q1Q2Q3Q4
Incremental borrowing 300,000 1,000,000 1,400,000 500,000
Bank loan cost 9,000 30,000 42,000 15,000
Total cost of bank loan = 9,000 + 30,000 + 42,000 + 15,000 = 96,000
Alternative 2: Issuing 500,000 intermediate term debt and rest is financed

by bank borrowing
Term loan cost = 500,000 (0.135) = 67,500
Q1Q2Q3Q4
Incremental borrowing 0 500,000 900,000 0
Bank loan cost 0 15,000 27,000
Total cost = 67,500 + 15,000 + 27,000 = 109,500
Alternative 3: Issuing 1,000,000 intermediate term debt and rest is financed by bank borrowing
Term loan cost = 1,000,000 (0.135) = 135,000
Q1Q2Q3Q4
Incremental borrowing 0 0 400,000 0
Bank loan cost 0 0 12,000 0
Total cost = 135,000 + 12,000 = 147,500
Alternative 1 is lowest in cost because the company borrows at a lower rate, 12 percent versus
13.5 percent, and because it does not pay interest on funds employed when they are not needed.
(b) Is there a consideration other than expected Cost that deserves your attention?
While alternative 1 is cheapest it entails financing the expected build up in permanent funds
requirements ($500,000) on a short-term basis. There is a risk consideration in that if things turn
bad the company is dependent on its bank for continuing support. There is risk of loan renewal
and of
interest rates changing.
Alternative 2 involves borrowing the expected increase in permanent funds requirements on a

term basis. As a result, only the expected seasonal component of total needs would be financed
with shortterm
debt.
Alternative 3, the most conservative financing plan of the three, involves financing on a term
basis more than the expected build-up in permanent funds requirements. In all three cases, there
is the risk that actual total funds requirements will differ from those that are expected.
Q.6 Compare and evaluate the four major capital budgeting techniques.
Q.7 On the basis of an analysis of past returns and of inflationary expectations, Marta
Gomez feels that the expected return on stocks in general is 12 percent The risk-free rate
on short term Treasury securities is now 7 percent. Gomez is particularly interested in the
return prospects for Kessler Electronics Corporation. Based on monthly data for the past
five years, she has fitted a characteristic line to the responsiveness of excess returns of the
stock to excess returns of the S&P 500 Index and has found the slope of the line to be 1.67.
If financial markets are believed to be efficient, what return can she expect from investing
in Kessler Electronics Corporation?
Expected return = .07 + (.12 - .07)(1.67) = .1538, or 15.38%
Q.8. Hayleigh Mills Company has a $5 million revolving credit agreement with First State
Bank of Arkansas. Being a favored customer, the rate is set at 1 percent over the bank’s
cost of funds, where the cost of funds is approximated as the rate on negotiable certificates
of deposit (CDs).
In addition, there is a ½ percent commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit.
If the CD rate is expected to average 9 percent for the coming year and if the company expects
to utilize, on average, 60 percent of the total commitment, what is the expected annual dollar
cost of this credit arrangement?
($5,000,000)(0.60)(0.10) = $300,000 in interest
($5,000,000)(0.40)(.005) = 10,000 in commitment fees
Total annual dollar cost = 300,000 + 10,000 = $310,000
What is the percentage cost when both the interest rate and the commitment fee paid are
considered?
$310,000 in annual dollar cost / $3,000,000 in useable funds = 10.33%
What happens to the percentage cost if, on average, only 20 percent of the total commitment is
utilized?
With 20 percent utilization we have:
($5,000,000)(0.20)(0.10) = $100,000 in interest
($5,000,000)(0.80)(.005) = 20,000 in commitment fees
Total annual dollar cost = 100,000 + 20,000 = $120,000 in annual dollar cost
$120,000 in annual dollar cost / $1,000,000 in useable funds = 12%

Calculation A.
CGS = Sale (1 – Gross profit margin) = 2,700,000 (1 – 0.25) = 2,025,000
Inventory turnover = 6.0 = CGS / Inventory
Inventory = CGS / 6.0 = 2,025,000 / 6 = 337,500
Calculation B.
Average collection period = 40 days = (360) (Accounts receivable) / Sale
Accounts receivable = (40) (Sale) / 360 = (40) (2,700,000) / 360 =

300,000
Calculation C.
Total current asset = Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivable

Q.3 Superior Cement Company has an 8 % preferred stock issue outstanding with each
share having $100 face value. Currently the yield is 10 %. What is the market price per
share? If the required return becomes 12 %, what will happen to the market price per
share?
Interest amount = Face value (Interest rate) = 100 (0.08) = $8
Value of preferred stock with 10 % yield = I / K = 8 / 0.10 = $80
Value of preferred stock with 12 % yield = I / K = 8 / 0.12 = $66.60

Q.5 You need to have $50,000 at the end of 10 years. To accumulate this sum you have decided
to save a certain amount at the end of each of the next 10 years and deposited it in the bank. The
bank pays 8 % interest compound annual for long term deposits. How much will you have to
save each year?
Let X is the amount to save each year
50,000 = X (FVIFA 0.08, 9 ) + X = X (11.028) +X = 12.028 X
X = 50,000 / 12.028 = 4,257

Q6 Multinational industries have a beta of 1.45, the risk free rate is 10 % and the expected
return on the market portfolio is 16%. The co. presently pays a dividend of $2 a share, and
investors expect it to experience a growth of 10% per annum for many years to come.
a. What is the stock required rate of return according to CAPM?
Β = 1.45 Rf = 0.10 Rm = 0.16 D0 = 2 g = 0.10
R = Rf + β (Rm – Rf ) = 0.10 + 1.45 (0.16 – 0.10) = 0.10 + 0.087 = 0.187
or 18.7 %
b. What is the stock’s present market price per share, assuming this required rate?
V = D / (R – g ) = 2 / (0.187 – 0.10) = 2 / 0.087 = 22.99
c. What would happen to the required return and to market price per share if the beta were
0.80? (Assume that all else stay the same)
R = Rf + β (Rm – Rf ) = 0.10 + 0.80 (0.16 – 0.10) = 0.10 + 0.048 = 0.148
or 14.8 %
V = D / (R – g ) = 2 / (0.148 – 0.10) = 2 / 0.048 = 41.66
Q.7 ARY Company has total annual sales (all credit) of $500,000 and a gross profit margin of
15 %. Its current asset are 100,000; current liabilities 75,000; inventories 30,000 and cash
10,000.
(a) How much average inventory should be carried if management wants the inventory
turnover to be 4?
CGS = Sales (1 – Gross profit margin) = 500,000 (1 – 0.15) = 425,000
Inventory turnover = 4 = CGS / inventory
Inventory = CGS / 4 = 425,000 / 4 = 106,250

(b) How rapidly (in how many days) must accounts receivable be collected, if management
wants to have an average of $50,000 invested in receivable?
Accounts receivable in days = 360 (Receivable) / Credit sales = 360
(50,000) / 500,000 = 36 days

Financial Management 562 Spring 2000
Q.1 Enumerate the main functions of the financial manager. Also state how does the notion of
risk and reward govern the behavior of financial manager?
Q.2 Suppose you were to receive Rs.1000 at the end of twelve years. If yours opportunity rate is
15%, what is the present value of this amount if interest is compound annually? Quarterly?
Continuously?
FV = 1,000
k = 0.15
Pv = ?
n = 12 years
(a) Compound annually
Pv = Fv / ( 1 + k ) n = 1,000 / ( 1 + 0.15 ) 12 = 1,000 / ( 1.15 ) 12 = 1,000 / 5.35 = 186.92
(b) Compound quarterly
m=4
Pv = Fv / ( 1 + k/m ) mn = 1,000 / ( 1 + 0.15 / 4 ) 12x4 = 1,000 / ( 1 +
0.0375 ) 48
Pv = 1,000 / ( 1.0375 ) 48 = 1,000 / 5.8537 = 170.83
(c) Continuous compounding
Pv = Fv / (e ) kn = 1,000 / ( 2.71828 ) (0.15)(12) = 1,000 / ( 2.71828 ) 1.8
= 1,000 / 6.0496 = 165.30

Q.3. The beta of a company is 1.75 and the risk free rate is 8%. The expected return on market
portfolio is 14%. The company presently pays a dividend of Rs.3 per share and investors expect
it to experience a growth in dividends of 5% per years for many years to come. What is the
stocks required rate of return according to CAPM?
K=?
KM = 0.14
RF = 0.08
D0 = Rs.3.00 / share
β = 1.75
g = 0.05
K = RF + β ( KM – RF )
K = 0.08 + 1.75 ( 0.14 – 0.08 ) = 0.08 + 1.75 ( 0.06 ) = 0.08 + 0.105 =
0.185 or 18.5 %
Q.4. What is meant by intrinsic value and how it is determined? Also explain the concept of
incremental analysis.
Q.5. A company presently gives terms of net 30 days. It has Rs.60 million in sales and its
average collection period is 45 days. To stimulate demand, the company may give terms of net
60 days.
If it does instigate these terms, sales are expecting to increase by 15%.
After the change, the average collection period to be 75 days. Variable costs are 0.80 for every
Rs.1 on sales and the company required rate of return on investment in receivable is 20%.
Should the company
extend its credit period. Explain.
SO = 60,000,000
SN = 60,000,000 (1.15 ) = 69,000,000
ΔS = 9,000,000
V = 0.80
1 – V = 0.20
K = 0.20
ACP0 = 45
ACPN = 75
ΔI = [ ACPN – ACP0 ][ S0/360] + [ V ( ACPN ) ( ΔS/360 )]
= [ 75 – 45 ] [ 60,000,000 / 360 ] + [ 0.8 ( 75 ) ( 9,000,000 / 360 ) ]
= 5,000,000 + 1,500,000 = 6,500,000
ΔP = [ΔS ( 1 – V ) – K (ΔI ) ]
= 9,000,000 ( 0.2 ) – 0.2 ( 6,500,000 ) = 1,800,000 – 1,300,000 = 500,000
The company can extend its credit period and get additional Rs.500,000 profits by extending its
credit period and due to increased sale.
Q.6. What is meant be APT model? Also explain the assumptions to the theory of capital
structure.
Q.7. A company has 2.5 million shares outstanding, stockholders equity of Rs.41.5 million,
earnings of Rs.3.9 million during the last 12 months during which it paid dividend of Rs.0.95
million and a share price of Rs.37. Required.
What is the price earning ratio?
What is the dividend yield?
Which is the ratio of market to book value per share?
Given:
Shares outstanding = 2,500,000
Equity = 41,500,000
Earnings = 3,900,000
Dividend = 950,000
Market value of share = 37

(a)
Price earning ratio = Market price per share / Earning per share
Earning per share = Earnings / Shares outstanding = 3,900,000 /
2,500,000 = 1.56
Price earning ratio = 37 / 1.56 = 23.72
(b)
Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share
Dividend per share = Total dividend / Shares outstanding = 950,000 /
2,500,000 = 0.38
Dividend yield = 0.38 / 37 = 0.01 or 1.0 %
(c)
Market to book value per share = Market value per share / Book value per
share
Book value per share = Total equity / Shares outstanding = 41,500,000 /
2,500,000 = 16.6
Market to book value per share = 37 / 16.6 = 2.229
Q.8. How can diversification reduce the risk of investment in marketable securities? Also
explain briefly the active and passive dividend policy approaches.

Q2 For each of the following cases:
Case Amount of Initial deposit National Interest rate Compounding frequency
Times/ year
Deposit period
In years
A 25, 000 16 % 2 5
B 50, 000 12 % 6 3
(a) Calculate the future value at the end of the specified period.
FV = PV (FVIF i n )
Case A, Interest rate (i) = 0.16 / 2 = 0.08 Period (n) = 5 (2) = 10
FV = 25,000 (FVIF 0.08, 10 ) = 25,000 (2.159) = 53,975
Case B, Interest rate (i) = 0.12 / 6 = 0.02 Period (n) = 3 (6) = 18
FV = 50,000 (FVIF 0.02, 18 ) = 50,000 (1.428) = 71,400
(b) Determine the effective interest rates.
Effective interest rate = (1 + [ i / m ] ) m – 1
Case A = (1 + [ 0.16 / 2 ] ) 2 – 1 = ( 1 + 0.08 ) 2 – 1 = ( 1.08 ) 2 – 1 =
1.1664 – 1 = 0.1664
Case B = (1 + [ 0.12 / 6 ] ) 6 – 1 = ( 1 + 0.02 ) 6 – 1 = ( 1.02 ) 6 – 1 =
1.1262 – 1 = 0.1262
(c) Compare the nominal interest rate, to the effective interest rate. What relationship exists
between compounding frequency and the nominal and effective interest rates?

Q4 Financial analysis carried out in Shaheen foundation Ltd. Reflected the following result.
Total asset turnover = 2.0
Current ratio = 2.5
Day sale outstanding = 37.5days
Inventory turnover = 4.8
Debt/total asset = 45%
Fixed asset turnover = 6
Sales = Rs.2,400,000
Cash Rs.50000 Current liabilities Rs.
Account receivable Long term debt ____________
Inventory _________ Total debt

Current assets Common stock Rs.
Net fixed asset Retained earnings
Total asset Rs. Total liability and equity Rs.
Cash 50,000 Current liabilities 320,000 (D)
Account receivable 250,000 (E) Long term debt 220,000 (I)
Inventory 500,000 (F) Total debt 540,000 (H)
Current assets 800.000 (C) Common stock 660,000 (K)
Net fixed asset 400,000 (A) Retained earnings 0 (J)
Total asset 1,200,000 (B). Total liability and equity 1,200,000 (G)
Calculations:
(A) Fixed asset turnover = 6 = Sales / fixed asset
Fixed asset = Sales / 6 = 2,400,000 / 6 = 400,000
(B) Total Asset turn over = 2.0 = Sales / total asset
Total asset = Sales / 2 = 2,400,000 / 2 = 1,200,000
(C) Current Asset = Total Asset – Fixed asset = 1,200,000 – 400,000 =

800,000
(D) Current ratio = 2.5 = Current asset / current liabilities
Current liabilities = Current asset / 2.5 = 800,000 / 2.5 = 320,000
(E) Day sale outstanding = Account receivable turnover
= 37.5 = No of days in a year (A/C receivable ) / sales
A/C receivable = 37.5 (Sales) / No of days in a year = 37.5 (2,400,000) /
360 = 250,000
(F) Inventory = CA – A/C receivable – cash = 800,00 – 250,000 – 50,000

= 500,000
(G) Total liability and equity = Total asset = 1,200,000
(H) Debt / total asset = 0.45
Debt = 0.45 total asset = 0.45 (1,200,000) = 540,000

(I) Long term debt = Total debt – C. liabilities = 540,000 – 320,000 = 220,000
(J) Inventory turnover = 4.8 = CGS / inventory
CGS = 4.8 (inventory) = 4.8 (500,000) = 2,400,000
Since CGS is equal to sales, there is no gross profit and no retained earnings
(K) Equity = Total capital and liability – total debt = 1,200,000 – 540,000
= 660,000

Q1. Adair industries are considering relaxing its credit standards to increase its currently
sagging sales. As a result of proposed relaxation sales are expected to increase by 10 % from
10,000 to 11,000 units during the coming year. The average collection period is expected to
increase from 45 to 60 days and bad debts are expected to increase from 1 to 3 % of sales. The
sale price per unit is Rs.40 and the variable cost per unit is rs.31. If the firm’s required rate of
return on similar risk investment is 25 %, evaluate the proposed relaxation and make a
recommendation to the firm.
SO = Current sales = 10, 000
SN = New sales = 11, 000
ΔS = Incremental sales = 11, 000 – 10, 000 = 1, 000
V = Variable cost as percentage of sales = 31 / 40 = 0.775 or 77.5 %
1 – V = Contribution margin as percentage of sales = 1 – 0.775 = 0.225
K = Cost of financing or cost of capital = 0.25
ACP0 = Current average collection period in days = 45
ACPN = New average collection period in days = 60
B0 = Present bad debt percentage = 1
BN = New bad debt percentage = 3
ΔI = [Increased investment in receivable associated with original sales] +

[Investment in receivable
associated with new sales]

ΔI = [ Change in collection period ] [ Old sales per day ] + [ V ( ACPN )
( New sales per day ) ]
ΔI = [ACPN – ACP0] [S0/360] + [V (ACPN) (ΔS/360)]
ΔI = [ 60 – 45] [10,000/360] + [77.5 (60) (1,000/360)]
ΔI = (15) ( 27.78 + 3.59 ) = 15 (31.37) = 470.55
ΔP = [Incremental sales (contributing margin) – (Cost of carrying new receivable) – (Bad debt
losses)]
ΔP = [ΔS (1 – V) – K (ΔI) – (BN SN– B0 S0)]
ΔP = [1,000 (22.5) – 0.25 (470.55) – ( 0.03 x 11, 000 – 0.01 x 10,000 )]
ΔP = [22, 500 – 0.25 (470.55) – ( 0.03 x 11, 000 – 0.01 x 10,000 )]
ΔP = [22, 382.36 – ( 330 – 100 )] = 22,382.36 – 220 = 22, 162.36

This indicate that with new proposal, the profit of the company will be increased by
Rs.22,162.36, therefore, company should relax its credit standard.
Q2. Barnstead industries turns its inventory 8 times each year, has an average payment period of
35 days, and ahs an average collection period of 60 days. The firm’s total outlays for operating
cycle investment are 3.5 million. Assuming 360 days a year.
(a) Calculate the Firm’s operating and cash conversion cycle.
Average payment period = 35 days
Average collection period = 60 days
Average age of inventory = 360 / 8 = 45 days
Operating cycle = Average age of inventory + Average collection period

= 60 + 45 = 105 days
Cash cycle = Operating cycle – Average payment period = 105 – 35 = 70 days

(b) Calculate the firm’s daily cash operating expenditure. How much negotiated finance is
required to support its cash conversion policy?
Operating cycle investment = 3, 500, 000 annually or Rs.9, 722.22 daily

Q3 Quick Enterprise has obtained a Rs.10, 000, 90 days bank loan at an annual interest rate of
15 %, payable at maturity. Assume 360 days in a year.
(a) How much interest will the firm pay on the 90 day loan?
Amount of interest = 10, 000 (0.15) ( 90 / 360) = 10, 000 ( 0.0375) = Rs.375
(b) Annualize your findings to find the effective annual interest rate for this loan, assuming that
it is rolled over each 90 days throughout the year under the same conditions and circumstances.
Effective annual interest rate = ( 1 + 0.0375 )4 – 1 = 1.158 – 1 = 0.158 or 15.8 %
Q4 Briefly describe the pro forma income statement preparation process using percent of sale
method. What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach?
Q5 Winters Design has fixed operating cost of Rs.380, 000, variable cost per unit is Rs.16 and a
selling price of Rs.63.50 per unit.
(a) Calculate the operating breakeven point in units.
FC = Rs.380, 000
P = Rs.63.50
V = Rs.16
FC 380, 000 380, 000
QBE = --------------- = --------------------- = ------------- = 8, 000
( P – V ) (63.50 – 16.00) 47.50
(b) Calculate the firm’s EBIT at 9, 000, 10, 000 and 11, 000 units respectively.
EBIT = Q ( P – V ) – FC
EBIT = 9, 000 (63.50 – 16.00) – 380, 000 = 9, 000 (47.50) – 380, 000
= 427, 500 – 380, 000 = 47, 500 for 9, 000 units
EBIT = 10, 000 (63.50 – 16.00) – 380, 000 = 10, 000 (47.50) – 380, 000
= 475, 000 – 380, 000 = 95, 000 for 10, 000 units
EBIT = 11, 000 (63.50 – 16.00) – 380, 000 = 11, 000 (47.50) – 380, 000
= 522, 500 – 380, 000 = 142, 500 for 11, 000 units
(c) By using 10, 000 units as a base, what are the % change in units sold and EBIT as sales
shown move from the base to the other levels used in b.
For 9, 000 units
Change in sale = 10, 000 – 9, 000 = 1, 000
% change in sales = 1, 000 / 10, 000 = 0.1 or 10 %
Change in EBIT = 95, 000 – 47, 500 = 47, 500
% change in EBIT = 47, 500 / 95, 000 = 0.5 or 50 %
For 11, 000 units
Change in sale = 11, 000 – 10, 000 = 1, 000
% change in sales = 1, 000 / 10, 000 = 0.1 or 10 %
Change in EBIT = 142, 500 – 95, 000 = 47, 500
% change in EBIT = 47, 500 / 95, 000 = 0.5 or 50 %

(d) Using the percentage computed in c, calculate the DOL
For 9, 000 and for 11, 000
DOL = % change in EBIT / % change in sales = 50 / 10 = 5

Total 95920.5 93417.5
95, 920.50 – 93, 417.50 = 2503
95, 920.50 – 95, 000 = 920.50
IRR = 15 + 920.50 / 2503 = 15 + 0.368 = 15.368 %
(d) Evaluate the acceptability of the proposed investment using NPV and IRR.
As IRR is greater than the cost of capital and NPV is positive, we will accept the project.

Q3 Jerome is considering investing in security that has the following distribution of possible
one year return.
Probability of occurrence 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.30 0.10
Possible return % -10 0 10 20 30
What is the expected return and standard deviation associated with the investment?
R P exp. R R-R' (R-R')² (R-R)²P
RxP
-0.1 0.1 -0.01 -0.2 0.04 0.004

0 0.2 0 -0.1 0.01 0.002
0.1 0.3 0.03 0 0 0
0.2 0.3 0.06 0.1 0.01 0.003
0.3 0.1 0.03 0.2 0.04 0.004
0.5 0.11 0.013
Standard deviation = √ 0.013 = 0.114
Is there much downside risk? How can you tell?
First we will see the possibility of zero return
R=0
R’ = 0.11
SD = 0.114
R – R’ 0 – 0.11
Z = ---------- = ------------ = - 0.9649
SD 0.114
From normal distribution table the value for Z = - 0.9649 is 0.3330
Therefore probability of zero or less return is = 0.5000 – 0.3330 = 0.167

or 16.7 %
For 10% return
R – R’ 0.10 – 0.11
Z = ---------- = ---------------- = - 0.0877
SD 0.114
Form normal distribution table the value for Z = 0.0877 is 0.033
The probability of return between 0 and 10 % will be 0.330 – 0.033 =

0.297 or 29.7%
For 20 % return
R – R’ 0.20 – 0.11
Z = ---------- = ---------------- = 0.7894
SD 0.114
From normal distribution table the value for Z=0.7894 is 0.2835
The probability of return between 10 and 20% will be 0.2835 + 0.033 = 0.3165 or 31.65 %
From the above calculations, we can conclude that there is no down side risk.
Q.4. The Anderson corporation (an all equity financed firm) has a sale level of Rs.280, 000 with
a 10% profit margin before interest and taxes.
To generate this sale the firm maintains a fixed asset investment of Rs.100, 000. Currently the
firm has Rs.50, 000 in current asset.
(a) Compute the total asset turnover and compute the rate of return on total asset before taxes.
Fixed asset = Rs.100, 000
Current asset = Rs.50, 000
Total asset = 100, 000 + 50, 000 = 150, 000
Sale = Rs. 280, 000
Total asset turnover = sale / total asset = 280, 000 / 150, 000 = 1.867
Return on total asset before taxes = Net profit margin x total asset turnover
= 10 (1.867) = 18.67 %
(b) Compute the before tax rate of return on assets at different levels of current asset starting
with
Rs.10, 000 and increasing in Rs.15, 000 increments to Rs.100, 000

Q.5. The Pawalowski supply company needs to increase its working

capital by 4.4 million. The following three financing alternatives are available. (assume 365 day
year)
(a) Forgo cash discount (granted on the basis of 3/10, net 30 and pay on
the final due date
(b) Borrow 5 millions from a bank at 15%. The alternate would necessitate maintaining a 12%
compensating balance.
(c) Issue 4.7 million of six month commercial paper to net 4.4 million. Assume that new paper
would issue every six months.
Assuming that the firm would prefer the flexibility of bank financing, provided the additional
cost of this flexibility was no more than 2% per annum, which alternative should be selected.

Cost of alternative b
Amount of loan = 5, 000, 000
Interest amount = 5, 000, 000 (0.15 + 0.02) = 850, 000
Compensating balance = 5, 000,000 ( 0.12) = 600, 000
Amount of loan actually used = 5, 000, 000 – 600, 000 = 4, 400, 000
Effective interest rate = 850, 000 / 4, 400, 000 = 0.1932 or 19.32 %
Cost of alternative c
Face value of commercial paper = 4, 700, 000
Amount received = 4, 400, 000 for 6 months
Difference = 4, 700, 000 – 4, 400, 000 = 300, 000
Rate of interest for 6 months = 300, 000 / 4, 400, 000 = 0.068
Rate of interest for 1 year = [ (1 + 0.068 )2 – 1 ] = 1.141 – 1 = 0.141 or

14.1 %
The company will choose option C for its working capital financing which has the lower
interest rate.
Q.6. Silicon wafer company presently pays a dividend of Rs.1 per share and has a share price of
Rs.20.
(a) If this dividend was expected to grow at 12% rate forever, what is the firm’s expected or
required return on equity using a dividend discount model approach?

(b) Suppose that the dividend was expected to grow at a 20% for 5 years and at 10 % per year
thereafter. Now what is the firm’s expected return on equity.
The formula for this type of calculations will be as follows:
V = D0 ( 1 + 0.2)5 / ( 1 + Ke)5 + [ 1 / ( 1 + Ke)5 ] [ D6 / ( Ke – g ) ]
V = 20
D0 = 1
D6 = ( 1 + 0.2)5 ( 1 + 0.1 ) = 2.488 (1.1) = 2.737
g = 0.10

Q.No.3. Scifie is attempting to project its year ahead external financing requirements. It projects
a 30 % increase in sales from its current level of 25 million. Its spontaneous assets are estimated
to be 70 % of sales, and its spontaneous liabilities are 48 % of sales. Scifie’s profit margin is 10
% and its dividend pay out ratio is 25 %. Can you help Scifie estimate its external financing
requirement for next year.
Present sales = 25 millions
Projected sales = 25 ( 1.3 ) = 32.5 million
Assets = 32.54 ( 0.70 ) = 22.75 million
Liabilities = 32.5 ( 0.48 ) = 15.6 million
Profit = 32.5 (0.1) = 3.25 millions
Retained earnings = 3.25 ( 1 – 0.25 ) = 3.25 ( 0.75) = 2.4375 million
External finance required = Assets – ( Liabilities + Retained earnings )
= 22.75 – ( 15.6 + 2.4375 ) = 22.75 – 18.0375 = 4.7125 million

six years. Low has 12 % cost of capital. Calculate each machine NPV, IRR and PI and evaluate
the result?
Calculation of NPV
For project A
NPV (12 %) = P.V of future cash flows – Initial investment
= (4,900)(4.111) – 18,000
= 20143.9 – 18,000 = 2143.9
For project B
NPV (12 %) = P.V of future cash flows – Initial investment
= (6,500)(4.111) – 18,000
= 26721.5 – 24,000 = 2621.5
Calculation of IRR
For project A
NPV at 14 % = (4,900)(3.889) – 18,000 = 19056.10 – 18,000 = 1056.10
NPV at 16 % = (4,900)(3.685) – 18,000 = 18056.50 – 18,000 = 56.50
NPV at 18 % = (4,900)(3.498) – 18,000 = 17140.20 – 18,000 = - 859.80
By interpolation IRR = 16 + 56 / ( 859.80 + 56.50 ) = 16 + (56 / 916.30 )
*2
= 16 + 0.12 = 16.12
For project B
NPV at 14 % = (6,500)(3.889) – 24,000 = 25278.5 – 24,000 = 1278.5
NPV at 16 % = (6,500)(3.685) – 24,000 = 23925.5 – 24,000 = - 47.5

By interpolation IRR = 14 + 47.5 / ( 1278.5 + 47.5 ) = 14 + (47.5 / 1326 )
*2
= 14 + 0.072 = 14.072
Profitability index:
For project A
PI = PV of future cash flow / Initial investment = 20,143.9 / 18,000 =

1.119
For project B
PI = PV of future cash flow / Initial investment = 26,721.5 / 24,000 = 1.113
Since the profitability index on project A is more we will select Project A
Q.No.6. What are the five characteristics looked by the financial manager in making a credit
decision on a customer? What are some of the drawbacks in using this criterion?
Q.No.7 Given the data as below:
Annual sales = Rs.1, 500, 000
Annual cost of goods sold = 900, 000
Annual purchases = 1, 000, 000
Year end accounts receivable = 50, 000
Year end accounts payable = 22, 000
Year end inventory = 15, 000
(a) Calculate the length of operating cycle and briefly describe what it shows.
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Inventory
= 900,000 / 15,000 = 60 times
Inventory turnover in days = No. of days in a year / Inventory turnover
= 360 / 60 = 6 days
Receivable turn over = Annual net credit sales / Accounts receivable
= 1,500,000 / 50,000 = 30 times
Receivable turn over in days = No. of days in a year / Receivable turn

over
= 360 / 30 = 12 days
Operating cycle = Inventory turnover in days + Receivable turnover in
days
= 6 + 12 = 18 days
(b) Calculate the length of cash cycle and briefly describe what it shows.
Accounts payable turnover = Purchases / Accounts payable
= 1,000,000 / 22,222 = 45 times
Accounts payable turnover in days = No. of days in a year / Accounts payable turn
= 360 / 45 = 8 days
Cash cycle = operating cycle – Accounts payable turnover in days
= 18 – 8 = 10 days
Q.No.8. BB corporation’s stock has a beta of 1.5. You expect dividend of 8 per year for the next
three years. Right now the market rate of return is 16 % and the risk free rate if 12 %.
(a) What is your required return on BB’s stock?
R = required rate of return
Rm = Market rate of return = 0.16
Rf = Risk free rate of return = 0.12
β = 1.5
R = Rf + β ( Rm – Rf ) = 0.12 + 1.5 ( 0.16 – 0.12 ) = 0.12 + 0.06 = 0.18
or 18 %
(b) To obtain you required return, how much will BB stock have to sell for in three years if
today’s price is 50
D = dividend = 8
P0 = current price = 50
R = Required rate of return = 0.18
P3 = price of stock after three years
D D D P3
P0 = --------------- + ----------------- + ---------------- + ---------------
( 1 + 0.18 ) ( 1 + 0.18 )2 ( 1 + 0.18 )3 ( 1 + 0.18 )3

50 = ---------- + ------------+ ----------- + -----------
( 1.18 ) (1.18 )2 ( 1.18 )3 ( 1.18 )3
50 ( 1.18 )3 = 8 (1.18 )2 + 8 ( 1.18 ) + P3
50 ( 1.643032 ) = 8 ( 1.3954 ) + 9.44 + 8 + P3
82.1515 = 11.1632 + 9.44 + 8 + P3
P3 = 53.55
(c) If the stock price goes form 50 to 52 in three years, are you receiving enough return for
the risk taken?
This price will not give us the required rate of return of 18 %.
Q.1 Define the characteristics line and its beta. Why is beta a measure of systematic risk? What
is its meaning?
Q.2 Tripex consolidated industries owns $ 1.5 millions in 12 percent bonds of Solow electronics
company. It also owns 100000 shares of preferred stock of Solow, which constitute 10 % of all
outstanding Solow preferred shares. In the past year, Solow paid the stipulated on its bonds and
dividends of $ 3 per share on its preferred stock. The marginal tax rate of Tripex is 34 %. What
taxes must Tripex pay on this interest and dividend?
Interest income = $1,500,000 (12/100 = = $180,000
Dividend Income = 100, 000 x $3 = $300,000
Less exempted 70% = (210,000)
Taxable dividend income = 90,000
Total taxable income = $270,000
Marginal tax rate 34%
Tax payable on interest and diffident income = $270,000 (34/100) = $91,800
Note: It is assumed that tripex consolidated Industries has owned the stock for at least 45 days.

Q.2 The Kari Kid Corporation manufactures only product: planks. The single raw material used
in making planks is the dint. For each plank manufactured 12 dints are required. Assume that
the company manufactures 150,000 planks per year, that demand for planks in perfectly steady
throughout the year, that it costs $200 each time dims are ordered and that carrying costs are $8
per dint per year.
Required:
(a) Determine the economic order quantity of dints
EOQ = √ 2 A Oc / Cc = √ 2 (1,800,000) (200) / 8 = 9487 dints
(b) What are total inventory costs for Kari Kid?
= C(Q/2)+O(S/Q) = $8 (9487 / 2) + $200 (1,800,000 / 9487) = $75,895
(c) How many times per year would inventory be ordered?
1,800,000 / 9487 = 190 times
Q.3 The Dud Company has been factoring its accounts receivable for the past five years. The
factor charges a fee of 2% and will lend up to 80 percent of the volume of receivables
purchased for an additional I .5 percent per month. The firm typically has sales of $500,000 per
month, 70 percent of which are on credit. By using the factor, two savings would be affected.
a. $2,000 per month that would be required to support a credit department.
b. A bad-debt expense of 1 percent on credit sales.
The firm bank has recently offered to lend the firm up to 80 percent of the face value of the
receivables shown on the schedule of accounts. The bank would charge 15 5 percent per annum
interest plus a 2
percent monthly processing charges per dollar of receivables lending. The firm extends term of
net 30 and all customers who pay their bill do so by the 30th day. Should the form discontinue
its factoring arrangement in favor of the bank’s offer if the firm borrows, on the average,
$100,000 per month on its receivables’?
Factory Cost (Monthly):

Factoring Fee $7,000
Landing 1,500
$8,500
Bank Financing (Monthly):
Interest $1,250
Processing Fee 2,000
Credit department 2,000
Bad debts 3,500
$8,750
The firm should continue its factoring arrangements.
Q.4 North Great Timber Company will pay a dividend of $1.50 a share next year. After this
earnings and dividends are expected to grow at a 9 percent annual rate. Indefinitely, Inventory
presently requires a rate of return of 13 percent. The company is considering several business
strategies and wishes to determine the effect of these strategies on the market price per share of
its stock.
a. Continuing the present strategy will result in the expected growth rate and required rate of
return stated above.
Market price per share = D / (R – g ) = 1.50 / (0.12 – 0.08 ) = $37.50
b. Expanding timber holdings and sales will increase the expected dividend growth rate 11
percent bull will increase the risk of the company. As a result the rate of return required by
investors will increase to 16 percent.
Market price per share = 1.50 / (0.15 – 0.10 ) = $30.00

c. Integrating into retail stores will increase the dividend growth rate to 10 percent and
increase the required rate of return to 14 percent.
Market price per share = 1.50 / (0.13 – 0.09 ) = $37.50
(d) From the standpoint of market price per share, which strategy is best?
The present strategy and strategy ‘C’ result in the same market price per share.

Q.4 Salt Lake City Services, Inc; provides maintenance services for commercial buildings.
Presently, the beta on its common stock is 108. The risk free rate is now 10%, and the expected
return on the market portfolio is 15%. It is January I. and the company is expected to pay a $2
per share dividend at the end of the year, and the dividend is expected to grow a compound
animal rate of 11% for many years to come. Based on the CAPM and other assumptions you
might make what dollar value would you place on one share of this common stock?
Β = 1.08 Rf = 0.10 Rm = 0.15 D0 = 2 g = 0.11
R = Rf + β (Rm – Rf ) = 0.10 + 1.08 (0.15 – 0.10) = 0.10 + 0.05 = 0.15 or

15 %
V = D / (R – g ) = 2 / (0.15 – 0.11) = 2 / 0.04 = 50

Q.5 The Dud Company purchases raw materials on terms of "2/10, net 30”. A review of the
company’s records by the owner, Ms. Dud, revealed that payments are usually made 15 days
after purchases are received. When asked why the firm did not take advantage of its discounts,
the bookkeeper, Mr. Blunder, replied that it costs only 2 percent for these funds, whereas a bank
loan would cost the firm 12 percent.
(a) What mistake is Mr. Blunder making?
Mr. Blunder is making following mistakes.
1- He is not taking advantage of discounts offered to the firm as per terms

“2/10, net30.”
2- After giving up discounts, he is usually making payments 15 days after purchases are
received.
3- Bank loan is more costly than trade credit funds.
(b) What is the real cost of not taking the advantage?
Annual cost if % discount 360
Discount is not = ----------------------- x ---------------------------------------
taken 100 - % discount payment date – discount period
= (2 / (100 – 2 ) (360 / [(30 – 20 )] = (2 / 98) (360 / 20) = 0.367 or 36.7 %
But as the Dud company usually makes payments 15 days after purchases are received, the real
cost of not taking discounts would be much as worked out below:
= (2 / (100 – 2 ) (360 / [(15 – 10 )] = (2 / 98) (360 / 5) = 1.468 or 156.8 %
(c) If the firm could not borrow from bank and were resort to the trade credit funds, what
suggestion might be made to Mr. Blunder that would reduce the annual interest cost?
If the company could not avail discount it should make its payments on the final due date, i.e.,
30 days after purchase are received. And if possible, these payments can be stretched for a
period of a week or
10 days.
Q.6 Mendez Metal Specialties. Inc. has a seasonal pattern to its business. It borrows under a line
of credit from Central Bank at 1% over prime. Its total asset requirements now (at year end) and
estimated requirements for the coming year are (in millions):
Now 1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q
Total asset requirements $4.5 $4.8 $5.5 $5.9 $5.0
Assume that, these requirements are level throughout the quarter.
Presently, the company has $4.5 million in equity capital and long term debt plus the permanent
component of current liabilities, and this mount will remain constant throughout the year.
The prime rate presently is 11 % and the company expects no change in this rate for the next
year.
Mendez Metal Specialties is also considering issuing intermediate - term debt at an interest late
of 13.5 %. In this regard, three alternative amounts are under consideration: zero, $ 500,000 and
$ 1 million.
All additional funds requirements will be borrowed under the company’s bank line of credit.
(a) Determine the total dollar borrowing costs for short and intermediate-term debt under
each of the three alternatives for the coming year.
(Assume. that there are no changes in current liabilities other than borrowings). Which
alternative is lowest in cost’?
Alternative 1: 0 intermediate term debt and all finance is from bank borrowing
Bank loan cost = (11 + 1) / 4 = 3 % per quarter

Q1Q2Q3Q4
Incremental borrowing 300,000 1,000,000 1,400,000 500,000
Bank loan cost 9,000 30,000 42,000 15,000
Total cost of bank loan = 9,000 + 30,000 + 42,000 + 15,000 = 96,000
Alternative 2: Issuing 500,000 intermediate term debt and rest is financed by bank borrowing
Term loan cost = 500,000 (0.135) = 67,500
Q1Q2Q3Q4
Incremental borrowing 0 500,000 900,000 0
Bank loan cost 0 15,000 27,000

Total cost = 67,500 + 15,000 + 27,000 = 109,500
Alternative 3: Issuing 1,000,000 intermediate term debt and rest is financed by bank borrowing
Term loan cost = 1,000,000 (0.135) = 135,000
Q1Q2Q3Q4
Incremental borrowing 0 0 400,000 0
Bank loan cost 0 0 12,000 0
Total cost = 135,000 + 12,000 = 147,500
Alternative 1 is lowest in cost because the company borrows at a lower

rate, 12 percent versus 13.5 percent, and because it does not pay interest on funds employed
when they are not needed.
(b) Is there a consideration other than expected Cost that deserves your attention?
While alternative 1 is cheapest it entails financing the expected build up in permanent funds
requirements ($500,000) on a short-term basis. There is a risk consideration in that if things turn
bad the company is dependent on its bank for continuing support. There is risk of loan renewal
and of
interest rates changing.
Alternative 2 involves borrowing the expected increase in permanent funds requirements on a

term basis. As a result, only the expected seasonal component of total needs would be financed
with shortterm
debt.
Alternative 3, the most conservative financing plan of the three, involves financing on a term
basis more than the expected build-up in permanent funds requirements. In all three cases, there
is the risk that actual total funds requirements will differ from those that are expected.

(a) How much average inventory should be carried if management wants the inventory
turnover to be 4?
CGS = Sales (1 – Gross profit margin) = 400,000 (1 – 0.20) = 320,000
Inventory turnover = 4 = CGS / inventory
Inventory = CGS / 4 = 320,000 / 4 = 80,000
(b) How rapidly (in how many days) must accounts receivable be collected, if management
wants to have an average of $50,000 invested in receivable?
Accounts receivable in days = 360 (Receivable) / Credit sales = 360 (50,000) / 400,000 = 45
days

Financial Management 562 Autumn 2000

1 Prepared by Mohammad Muzammil

Nominal yield per annum = 2 ( k ) = 2 ( 0.05 ) = 0.10 or 10 %

Effective yield = ( 1 + nominal yield / 2 )2 – 1

= 1.1025 – 1 = 0.1025 or 10.25 %

Receivable 76,005 I Bond payable 195,000 B

Inventory 85,500 H Total liabilities 290,000 F

Total C. assets 192,000 D Net worth 35,000 G

Plant & Equip. 135,000 C

Total liabilities and net worth = Total assets = 235,000

Bond payable = Total asset x 0.6 = 325,000 x 0.6 = 195,000

Asset turnover = Sales / Total asset = 5

Sales = Total asset x 5 = 325,000 x 5 = 1,625,000

Plant & Equipment = Sales / 12.037 = 1,625,000 / 12.037 = 135,000

Current asset = Total asset -- Plant & Equipment

Current asset = 235,000 – 135,000 = 190,000

Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities = 2

Current liabilities = Current asset / 2 = 190,000 / 2 = 95,000

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Total debt

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Bond payable

Total liabilities = 95,000 + 195,000 = 290,000

Net worth = Total liabilities & Net worth – Total liabilities

Net worth = 325,000 – 290,000 = 35,000

= ( Cash + Receivable ) / 95,000

Cash + Receivable = 1.1 x 95,000 = 104,500

Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities = 2

Current asset = 2 x 95,000 = 190,000

Cash + Receivable + Inventory = 190,000

Inventory = 190,000 – Cash + Receivable = 190,000 – 104.500 = 85,500

Average collection period = 360 / Receivable turnover

Receivable turnover = 360 / Average collection period = 360 / 16.837 =

Receivable turnover = Sales / Receivable

Receivable = Sales / Receivable turnover = 1,625,000 / 21.38 = 76,005

Cash + Receivable = 104,500

Cash = 104,500 – 76,005 = 28,495

Q.5. A chemical company is considering investing in a project that costs

CFBT 100,000 100,000 150,000 150,000 250,000

Determine the following:

Pay back period

Internal rate of return

Net present value at 15 %

B Depreciation 80,000 80,000 80,000 80,000 80,000

C=A—B Total 20,000 20,000 70,000 70,000 170,000

D=C(0.55) Tax @ 55% 11,000 11,000 38,500 38,500 93,500

Year Cash flow Cumulative cash flow

The payback period will be four years.

Internal rate of return

Year cash flow P.V at 14 % P.V at 12 % P.V at 11 %

1 89,000 0.877 78053 0.893 79477 0.901 80189

2 89,000 0.769 68441 0.797 70933 0.812 72268

3 111,500 0.675 75262.5 0.712 79388 0.731 81506.5

4 111,500 0.592 66008 0.636 70914 0.659 73478.5

5 156,500 0.519 81223.5 0.567 88735.5 0.593 92804.5

Total 368988 389447.5 400246.5

Now we can calculate the exact IRR by ratio method:

400,247 – 400,000 = 247

400,247 – 389,448 = 10,799

IRR = 11 + 247 / 10799 = 11 + 0.023 = 11.023 %

Net present value at 15 %

1 89,000 0.870 77,430

2 89,000 0.756 67,284

3 111,500 0.658 73,367

4 111,500 0.572 63,778
