    I used average receivables because the closing receivables does not give a true picture or accurate figure due to high year end balances.

    I think even in the lectures on open tuition it was always advised to use average receivables once provided. But then again that was for F5 lol.

    I guess the same holds true for F9.

    The same question is also interesting for me. i calculated for 10 years. There wasnt enough space in my answer blank for 10 years but I did it))))
    Dont know right or not)) Was it suppose to be for 4 years??

    There is no need to use 10 years. The depreciation is linear,
    so NPV of tax benefit = 50mln / 10years * 25% * annuity@10years.

    Payback 2.4

    Not wc – sales

    For the wacc convert or redeem were we meant to calculate the cost of debt for both and use the lowest?!

    1. agree
    2. inventory + receivables – payables.
    3. I put “NO” because logically it is exactly the same as debt.
    4. I added reserves to equity, i.e. included.

    I read on open tuitions in a reply by John Moffat .
    when we are calculating Wacc on mv , mv of equity effectively already includes the reserves

    Why did you use 9% ?
    We should calculate the increase rate for dividend:
    today’ dividend = 0.20, 5 years ago dividend = 0.17.
    rate approximately = 4.1% (0.17 * 1.041^5 = 0.20)

    Am I not right ?

    Actually u r right
    I guess m being confused here.
    I did use historic dividend to calculate dividend growth but don’t exactly remember what was my answer
    If latest div was .20 and first was .17
    U r absolutely right it will be 4.146

    i remember question in section b, like what will be the spot rate in two years.

    i understand it is necessary to multiply the current spot rate by trading currency inflation (x2) and divide by home currency inflation (x2 as well).
