Hello Tutor
In the calculation below for annual tax relief and subsidy i don’t understand how or where they got the 3.588 value and also for the subsidy where they got 0.02
Annual tax relief = (14,488 × 80% × 0.055 × 25%)
+ (14,488 × 20% × 0.075 × 25%)
= 159.4 + 54.3 = 213.7
213.7 × 3.588 = 766
Subsidy benefit
14,488 × 80% × 0.02 × 75% × 3.588 = 624
Total benefit of financing side effects 786
Adjusted present value (708 + 786) 1,494
Thank you
3.588 is the annuity factor for 4 years at 4.5%. Since the tables do not give the factor for 4.5% you need to calculate it yourself using the formula given at the top of the tables.
As far as the 2% is concerned, the question says that the subsidy rate will be 200 basis points less than the normal borrowing rate. 200 basis points is 2%.
Sir can we also use 3.350 as the annuity factor for 4 years at 7.5%( the company’s current borrowing rate) for both the computation of PV tax savings from loan interest and Subsidiy benefit? If so, what assumption that I should state.
Pls advise.
Yes you could (and the examiners answer states that you could).
The assumption to state is the same as that written by the examiner, i.e. that 7,5% reflects the normal borrowing risk of the company.
Thanks sir for your explanation. Appreciated
You are welcome 🙂
