    Friend, Corded Vacuum Cleaner had a lower market share with declining demand. Do you think these are OK for assessing the product as being “cash caw”?

    Corded Vacuum Cleaner (low share and declining demand)= Cash Cow???

    Remuneration of directors
    1. Enough to attract, retain and motivate, without being excessive.
    2. Significant proportion should be performance-related.
    3. Should consider industry pay levels.
    4. NED remuneration should not be performance-related, but should reflect time
    involvement of the role.
    5. If a director is removed before the end of contract, provisions should be in place
    to ensure they are not over-compensated for failure.
    6. Notice periods no longer than 1 year.

    This is an extract from LSBF notes.
    The fourth point should explain everything about the NED pay mcq.

    the 4th Option seems to be not correct

    The UK Corporate Governance Code states that the board and shareholders should determine the NEDs’ remuneration. NEDs’ remuneration consists of a basic salary or fee with NO PERFORMANCE related element.

    I picked $50 too
    but now i feel the answer is $45
    Cuz usually the market value is on Ex-Int basis

    If i try to remember the question it said
    “$5 Interest was yet to be paid”
    So yeah
    I think i messed it up by choosing 50. :/

    Ashish, please can you remember the exact terms of the question. we would better to ask it to the Tutor. Very easy and tricky question

    Hi, I think I got $50. I did the dividend ($5) divided by the cost of capital (10%) as it was in perpetuity. No idea if that’s right though.

    was there any answer option with the 45 $. Can anybody remember?

    I think there was no any period with a negative TAXABLE PROFiT. Negative amounts was due to after paying taxes in arrears (imho year 3 and 4)

    Hi

    ? think you have overlooked trade receivables in the question.
    Here says: company had (credit) sales of $15m and trade receivables were $ 2,466K.

    $15m x 60 days/ 365 days ? $2,466K

    I guess it asked for decrease in Sales % to get NPV 0
