did you take into account the additional profit for the receivables discount question?December 11, 2015 at 3:13 pm #290963did you take into account the additional profit for the discount question?
December 11, 2015 at 3:15 pm #290967I found section B fairly ok and think I should get 50% on this section, although I was very pushed for time and rushed my last answer.
I thought Section A was tricky and to make an educated guess at a lot of those questions. I hope it doesn’t pull my mark down too much.

Effect on WACC increases.
Discount included an increase in credit sales of 20% which meant increase in profits, overall benefit was higher if discount option is taken
December 11, 2015 at 3:18 pm #290969Affect on WACC decreases for me from 11% something to 10.5 %
NPV was positive something around 90k
Leading was cheap.. all three were around 30k with difference of 1000 something..
Settlement discount should be accepted.. 50K something benefit… 18k something cost..
I can’t remember figures accurately so they are not precise..
Gearing was 40 something 🙁
Theory was subjective of course..
December 11, 2015 at 3:21 pm #290971I agree the discount was acceptable because benefits outweigh costs
December 11, 2015 at 3:21 pm #290972Leading was cheap for me too.
December 11, 2015 at 3:25 pm #290975Yes Leading was cheap for me also
December 11, 2015 at 3:28 pm #290978For last question I calculated WACC before taking in account issue of new finance.. than I calculated taking it into account..
what you guys did?
December 11, 2015 at 3:29 pm #290979leading was cheap for me also but I wasnt sure if we were supposed to add borrowing costs? because they mentioned being short of funds and payment was due in 6 months.. if we had to apply interest then it would have changed answer.

yes same but i got WACC intially 11.4%,after the new loan notes 11%,then talk about M&M….Q4b are they asking about capital rationing?
December 11, 2015 at 3:32 pm #290983for the last MCQ I added 17cents back to the share price, not sure why though! it was either C or D, I thought C would have been too easy for a 2 mark question so decided to be a bit creative! lol
December 11, 2015 at 3:33 pm #290985Yes I wrote about capital rationing and I think my WACC also reduced to 11% too after the loan note issue!

That’s the right way to do it I think. Unfortunately for me my laziness got in my way and I thought I would calculate WAcc without taking the new finance into account at the end but I forgot!!!?
