I think I got something like 6.6% for WACC … I took the same approach in the ‘wordy’ question. I hope for a miracle that I somehow scrape through with 50% pass but it’s very unlikely…I feel the same, unfortunately. Try to stay positive though, you never know

Nooo….I got 10.67% for WACC. Did you add on the fixed interest loan too? 100m at 10% or something
March 9, 2018 at 6:24 pm #441863$100m bank loan with 8%fixed interest.
It should be added in WACC calculations?March 9, 2018 at 6:35 pm #441866Yes, for the WACC I added the loan but took off the tax from the interest. Oh no, we’ve all got different answers

panic – you might have had a different question 🙂 Yes I did add it, tax adjusted but I don’t think it was 10% … Can’t be sure though to be honest 🙂March 9, 2018 at 6:38 pm #441868@suzimw said:

March 9, 2018 at 6:42 pm #441870I got the WACC question for Moscow Co. & the Lease vs Buy question.
Looking back over Lease vs Buy i’ve definitely messed up in a couple areas of my NPV calculations forgetting to use the post-tax cost of capital instead of pre-tax, but hoping i’ve done enough elsewhere to get the marks.
If my memory serves me right, the WACC answer i got was
Ve – $175m
Vd – Convertible debt – $84m
Vd – Loan – $125mKe – 9.6%
Kd – Convertible debt – 7.5%
Kd – Loan – 6.4%Total WACC came out between 8% & 9% (ish)
It’s a little concerning that everyone has different answers but at least we will score marks for workings, even if we slipped up at any point!
March 9, 2018 at 6:42 pm #441871I added the loan but didnt take out the tax from interest 🙁
It was 8% without taking out taxWhat was your market value of equity n cost of equity?
Mv of debt and cost?March 9, 2018 at 6:44 pm #441874I think I got 860 for expected value of NPV as well.
And 30% for the most likely outcome

The WACC figures look familiar, I hope I just messed up in adding up rather than the method… can you remember your growth at all?

Mine were on similar line
Ve – $175m
Vd – Convertible debt – $84m(it was convertible what did u about share value which was higher option?)
Vd – bank Loan – $100 it was $100 in the questionKe – mine was 10.4 (i calculated dividend growth of 3.6 and dividend valuation model to find cost of equity)
Kd – Convertible debt – 6.1% (IRR i think m wrong here)
Kd – Loan – 8 forgot to take out tax 🙁Total WACC came out between 8%(ish) as well

Yep fingers crossed one of us just messed up on some arithmetic and scores almost full on the calculation itself!

No penalty for terminations
Machine might become obsolete in 2 or 3 yrs
No maintenance costMarch 9, 2018 at 7:20 pm #441894@juliat said:

March 9, 2018 at 7:30 pm #441897Ye. I wrote similar to yours. Hope to get 5/5
March 9, 2018 at 7:33 pm #441898Probabilities was very straight forward. Refer to
Open tuition notes. That was easy 6 marks. Looks like we all got different section c. Here in
India we got One section c was probabilities and another one was Debt vs equity finance for business expansion. I felt MCQs were tricky and section C was easy. Except 6 marks for Islamic finance..that was not expectedMarch 9, 2018 at 7:40 pm #441900I found section a and section b easy but section c was tough. I studied from kaplan textbook and kaplan exam kit
