OpenTuition Tips for Paper P4 June 2010 exams

1 Big NPV involving calculation of WACC using CAPM (gearing and ungearing betas), possibly a foreign investment needing forecasting of exchange rates,

2 Financial appraisal of a business (from sets of accounts) and calculation of Z-score (in which case formula will be given)

Section B:

3 Foreign exchange risk – futures and options

4 Either interest rate risk (futures and options), or possibly Option Pricing (share options and delta hedge)

5 Written question – impossible to guess, but possibly – “Quantitative easing”. What is it? Why do it? Risk involved in doing it?
