There was only 1 rate given but as someone just said apparently we were told to calculate in nominal terms so 🙂 🙂 🙂 can’t believe I missed that, hopefully not toooo many marks lost..

any doubts ,i would love to answer ,if i can
June 9, 2011 at 1:27 pm #83985I left the cost of capital as it was in Q1 because all other costs were on the same inflation rate – can someone please confirm that this was the correct thing to do? I ended up with year 5 tax at 615k.
Q2 for the WACC I ended up with 12.6% before the bonds and then 10% after bond issue. My cost of debt for the bonds was 5% Really worried I have done something way wrong on this question.
Q3 was quite hard too. I am usually good on ration analysis but having the info split all over the place and only part of the SOFP threw me out.
Q4 – panic about the interest rate question:( Then did my money market hedge but ended up getting the forward contract being more value for money…. i think that sounds a bit wrong!! Saved about £3750?
Q4 part B – I felt led into using the EOQ but it didn’t seem to ask for that, so ended up calculating the current order cost, the current holding cost and the purchase price x annual demand and totalled up.
I hope for 50 🙁
June 9, 2011 at 1:28 pm #83986in Q1 do we need to add inflation? i mean in 3rd year it was written that variable cost is 3, then we need to add inflation 3 time (because it was 3rd year) is that OK?
what was the 1 way to incorporate risk in investment appraisal?
in question 2 we need to take 95 in year 0 and 100 in 10th year?? is that ok? or 100 in first year and 105 in 10th year?

I hVE EXACTLY THE SAME QUESTION!
June 9, 2011 at 1:31 pm #83989To incorporate risk in investment appraisal I suggested using another cost of capital and then using the IRR to determine if it met with current objectives. I also suggested using sensitivity analysis but think that is the wrong thing to write about too.

Q2 I got IRR 6,02%, WACC 12 and then 11 or so I think
Q3 Worst question by far
Q4 forward was better by around 4000, yes
part B wasnt about EOQ and choice with 3,6% discount was better with option 0,5% discount being worse even than currentJune 9, 2011 at 1:34 pm #83991AnonymousInactive- Topics: 1

i duno correct or notbut i said increase inflation rate estimation, shorten product life cycle years estimation and decrease estimation on customer demand and sales volume
all your answers i think is about the robutness of a project ,it refer to sensitivity of a project ,another two ways need to consider.

Expected values and adjusted cost of capital for incorporating RISK
I think payback, sensitivity etc are more Uncertainty but you probably get marks for those 2 as otherwise I couldn’t think of a third?June 9, 2011 at 1:43 pm #83996AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0
