    Left 8 marks because of time.

    I struggled with profit and capital measurements. Anyone got that?

    I just think, the ROCE should reflect the primary objectives of the organisation, eg maximize the shareholder returns, therefore the Profit should be : Net Profit ( residual value available to shareholder) and Captial is Equity, the solely contribution from Shareholders, anyone think like me?

    Q1 Fair and time pressured, used APV.
    Q2 FRA 4.25+0.5=4.75%
    Futures 4.8%
    Option 4.91 and do not remember.
    Q3 was disaster !!!

    Mariam, as be advised by John, the FRA should be incorporates the credit spread already, therefore the FRA should be 4.25% only

    Dear John, the forum did not allow to attach any file, therefore I could not show the question, anyway, the principle of value the Real option is the Pa and P3 should be calculated base on Present value, is it right, as someone said the Pe should not be discounted as in the BSOP formula, the Pe x e is discounted already, pls. advise
    Much thanks

    Sorry, It must be something i still do not understand, as in BPP book, in the example Four Season invest in Spain at investment 250M in 20 years with the cash inflow 254M, while the NPV is marginal, FS be offered an option to sales the project to Government at the end of year 5 at 150M, the Risk Free 7%, standard deviation 0.3

    the value of the Put option based on BSOP is 4.7M

    in conclusion, the Project shall bring to FS is 4+4.7=8.7M, so in this case, the NPV be added to derive the final value but not take a higher one, pls. advise

    I means that in the real option : Put option, if the option value is higher than NPV without option, the higher value shall be added to business value, is it right ?

    John,

    Could you pls. advise another issues of the project real option relevant to this question

    For a call option: if no BSOP the NPV of the follow-on product is 405k, if applying BSOP the value shall be 609k

    why the answer did not add up two figure together to contribute the company but just 609k, and what the 405k represent
    Thanks

    Dear John,

    I would be appreciate should you could make it more clearer due to normally, the Credit Risk Premium depend on the Credit Rating of an individual Company, and the Premium are not affected by hedging, therefore the Lock in Rate should be adjusted by the rate, pls. advise

    Much thanks

    Although we know the future contract currency, however, which currency the gain/loss of future contract shall be settled, for example : the Contract size 120,000 Euro however, in the answer, the gain/loss of futures contract always settled in USD, if the futures holder is UK company and then they need to be converted this amount into pounds
