    Yes I went with economic and transaction as the question stated that no balance would be due (i.e. payable balance) at year end so eliminated translation risk.

    Hey guys, what’s the answer for the commercial paper question?
    It was something like: 40 days, 365 days a year, $10000 $9967

    as I remember there was 45 days, 9938 and 360 days, so:
    10000-9938=62
    62/9938=0.624% for 45 days
    360/45=8
    1.00624^8=5.1%
    (the figure may be a little different but the calculation was like this)

    I was going to do 4 years aswell but into said that from year 5 the cash flows are expected to continue at maximum capacity into the future. Does this not imply a perpetuity beginning in year 5?
    My wacc was 11.8%
    I always say I’m not gonna come on this site after the exam and get depressed that my answers were not like anyone else’s but just can’t help it…..
    If I fail I hope it’s a good fail and not 40 bloody 9.

    Nice of them to put in the general rate of inflation of 4% to try and throw us off! Spent ages trying to figure out if i should adjust the discount factors. But didn’t.

    But because of the inflation each years cashflow would be different so i guess its not perpetuity

    And also, even more frustrating when you do practice questions they quote the share price as ex-div which is what you need for the questions. Whereas in this paper they decided to quote in cum div? I assume you just minus the dividend to be paid from the share price to get the ex-div? Anyone else do this

    I suppose it should be the average receivables. It’s more logic, the closing balance we take when we don’t have the information about the average.
