    Okay i think i got it. So, for the Lammer PLC (june 06 adapted) question, they havent calculated the total outcome? They didnt even calculate underhedging separately. Why?

    This question is from my Kaplan Exam Kit

    Question- Evaluate whether or not the proposed swap might be beneficial to all parties.

    Solution:

    Fixed rate Floating rate
    Arnbrook 6.25% LIBOR + 0.75%
    BBB company 7.25% LIBOR + 1.25%

    Difference 1.00% 0.50%

    There is a potential 0.50% arbitrage saving from undertaking the swap.
    On a £50 million swap this is £250,000 per year.
    Arnbrook would require 60% of any saving, or £150,000 annually. The BBB company
    would receive £100,000 annually.
    The bank would charge each party £90,000 per year. This would leave a net saving of
    only £10,000 for the BBB?rated counterparty company.
    The swap is potentially beneficial to all parties, but the counterparty company might
    press for a larger saving than £10,000

    I personally found this explanation very confusing. Especially, the savings part. They have taken 50% of the savings and then 60% of it.

    But i am relieved my solution showed in the previous reply is correct.

    i think the figures are slightly different in our books. Anyway, this is the question:

    Arnbrook plc is considering a £50 million three?year interest rate swap. The company
    wishes to expand and to have use of floating rate funds, but because of its AA credit rating
    has a comparative advantage over lower?rated companies when borrowing in the domestic
    fixed?rate market. Arnbrook can borrow fixed rate at 6.25% or floating rate at LIBOR plus
    0.75%.
    LIBOR is currently 5.25%, but parliamentary elections are due in six months’ time and future
    interest rates are uncertain. A swap could be arranged using a bank as an intermediary. The
    bank would offset the swap risk with a counterparty BBB?rated company that could borrow
    fixed rate at 7.25% and floating rate at LIBOR plus 1.25%. The bank would charge a fee of
    £90,000 per year to each party in the swap. Arnbrook would require 60% of any arbitrage
    savings (before the payment of fees) from the swap because of its higher credit rating

    My question is,
    If they dont swap, they will have to pay the fixed rate of 6.25%
    But if they do swap, they will pay:
    1)L+0.75= 6
    2) Bank charge (90,000/50,000,000)= 0.18
    3) Savings of 0.3= (0.3)

    Total= 6+0.18-0.3= 5.88%

    Therefore, it is beneficial to Arnbrook to swap.

    Is this correct?

    The bank would charge a fee of £90,000 per year to each party in the swap.
    How did you get 0.24%? Why 120,000?

    Once your 3 hours are done, it’ll automatically submit the exam whether you end it or not.

    People who attempted FM today? How was it?
    It sucked big time for me.
    Did anyone get Chemical X inventory question in Sec C?
    How do you solve that?

    Hello sir. I have a doubt in an adjustment in one of the Single Entity Financial Statement from the Kaplan Exam Kit 353-Highwood. the adjustment reads:

    The inventory of Highwood was not counted until 4 April 20X1 due to operational
    reasons. At this date its value at cost was $36 million and this figure has been used in
    the cost of sales calculation above. Between the year end of 31 March 20X1 and
    4 April 20X1, Highwood received a delivery of goods at a cost of $2.7 million and
    made sales of $7.8 million at a mark-up on cost of 30%. Neither the goods delivered
    nor the sales made in this period were included in Highwood’s purchases (as part of
    cost of sales) or revenue in the above trial balance.

    The solution given is:

    Inventory adjustment
    Goods delivered (deduct from closing inventory) (2,700)
    Cost of goods sold (7,800 × 100/130) (add to closing inventory) 6,000
    Net increase in closing inventory 3,300

    My question is why are deducting and adding the respective amounts to closing inventory?
    Also, 3300 is deducted from Cost of Sales as well, why?
