    Yah, I also got a 11.24% WACC. The paper was generally do-able. But as usual, I ran out of time (I did question 3 last). Question 3 was soooo tricky, I couldn’t remember how to handle buffer stock. In Qsn 2 I forgot how to ungear and gear the beta factor so I did the calculation half way. I am also praying for a pass on this paper, I was repeating it.

    Ke: 13 i found and wacc : 12 kd: 5.6 i think hopefully its right, working capital objectives: working capital policy, terms of trade, nature of business, operating cycle.

    Dividend growth model vs capm : g constant, risk, capm is the best one in the end.

    Factoring and invoice discounting: expert, admin saving vs….

    Project specific discount rate found 9 %

    In Q3 part b
    i did like $1 *456000 = 456000
    if accept discount
    $0.99 * 456000=451440
    (451440*5%*30/365)= 1855
    if accept cost is 453295

    Net saving 456000-453295= 2705

    can anyone tell is it true???

    @Ayaz how i did it was: 456×60/365 =74959 new payables were 456000×99%x30/365=37105
    reduction in payables 74959-37105= 37854. this this needs financed as we are paying early than 37854×5% =1893 cost
    benefit is (456000×1% disc) 4560 net position 4560-1893=2667 accept as benefits higher than costs

    Kriselda in Q3 part b
    we have to cal net benifit
    i did like if i accept the discount so i have to bear the principle amount which is 451440 after discount
    and the opportunity cost which is 1855 because we are loosing interest income for 30 days total cost will be 453295
    if we do not accept discount principle amount remains same 456000… difference is the benifit….

    My equity beta as far as i remember was 0.89….and as for Q4 i did
    Lease
    Lease payments were (155000)x annuity factor of the short term borrowing it was 7 % i believe im not sure, but since lease payments were at the beginning of the year than annuity would be 1 (for year 0) + 4 yrs annuity i think it was 3.36 not sure though, therefore 155000×1+4.36= x amount
    borrowings to buy
    750000 x df of 1=( 750000)
    maintance cost 20000x annuity factor of 7% 5yrs
    scrap value (i dont remember the value) say 10000x PV
    total all those up and get the amount of more than 750 000
    lease was cheaper

    Did we have to work out the EAC for buy or lease?
    The question was quite misleading as it didn’t mention how many years the lease payments are made! perhaps I didn’t see it, did you?

    I got 0.89 for my beta, which i found a bit strange. But it’s good to see at least one person got the same figure
