    Oh ok

    So kPI measures whether the company is achieving their goals or not is correct

    But is it also true to state that KPI measures whether the company is achieving their mission or vision ?

    Thank you sir

    Oh thank you sir
    And the difference between

    Objectives and critical success factors is that

    There maybe many objectives available to achieve one critical success factor

    Am I right sir

    Then a good credit term denotes that the supplier is prepared to wait for the payment for a longer period right sir

    And sir I have one more concern .
    When I asked Few of the tutors they told
    Futures have fixed close out dates
    And they are

    End of march
    End of June
    End of September
    End of December

    Are these somewhat related to futures sir

    I’m so confused

    Okay thank you sir,
    That means

    If the exchange rate is 2 pounds per dollar, a relative increase in dollar interest rates will cause the dollar to depreciate against the pound right

    So to look this in depth

    Asset turnover =
    sales/capital employed

    Operating profit margin = Pbit/sales

    The above two formulas could be viewed in two perceptions

    1.
    Asset turnover indicates us how well an entity converts its capital employed into sales

    And

    Operating profit margin indicates us how well an entity converts its sales into profit. (That is profit before interest and tax)

    2.
    Asset turnover indicates us how much sales is generated Based on each $ of capital employed of the company.

    And

    Operating profit margin indicates us how much profit (before interest and tax) is generated based on each $ of capital employed of the company.

    Am I correct master

    1. So that means interest rate futures hedges can be closed out any time in relation to interest rate derivatives.

    2. And secondly in relation to currency options and currency futures.

    currency options are based on a fixed date (that is whether or not to e fee use on a fixed date) as well ?

    And currency futures the deal can be closed out any time up until the maturity of the future

    Correct sir?

    Hi master

    under risk management

    do we have a range of close out dates only
    In interest rate options
    Or

    Both in interest rate options and interest rate futures

    But sir it depends on the person. If he is borrower he will buy a cap sell a floor

    And if he is a depositor he will sell a cap and buy a floor

    Right ?
    So I thought the statement is wrong

    But why are the long term funds less risky sir

    Is it because of tax shields that the long term funds are less risky compared to short term acquisition of funds ?

    oh thank you sir

    plus im also confused with the terms

    issueing debt
    and investing in debt

    issuing debt is the party who burrows the money or funds and investing in debt is the party lending or giving funds or money .

    am i correct sir ? ( if im not mistaken )

    sir are there any specific reason as per why the last sentence does need to include the word ‘equity finance ”

    and secondly sir

    the reason why we choose debt finance over equity finance is that

    equity is more riskier than than debt because shareholders are always paid last hence they demand more dividends and in turn dividends ( equity finance ) are taxable

    and the other reason why debt is preferred over equity is that
    with debt finance there are tax reliefs or benefits

    am i correct sir

    thank you
