    Hi Guys,
    I wonder if any one can recall the different parts of the questions and allocation of marks for each part.

    Thanks

    Was it not 11%?

    I wrongly started putting in the 10% values and then realised 11% was on the next set down of the value tables.

    Sikander probably forgot to add back to working capital in Y5

    Capital Rationing
    Hard and Soft rationing (External and Internal factors)
    Divisible projects should use profitability index and rank projects accordingly. Then invest in highest ranked projects first.

    Interest Cover
    Before was 27/10 = 2.7 times
    After was 31.4/3.6 = 8.7 times (something like that)
    I know that profit would go up and interest would have gone down
    Ended up with $45 million bond

    After was 45/210 = 21%

    The cost of capital was 11%
    you needed to release the Working capital in Year 5
    and i am sure you are to include the tax from Y6 – this is still part of the project. Anyone agree/disagree?
