    if asked to work to the nearest 000, for each step you need to round ,however ,penalty will not heavy, i think no more than 2 marks as long as you did it in the right way

    My IRR was aroung 8.something%, crap!

    Far too much to write. And yes I started with working out the damn EOQ, then realised it wasn’t that. Had to leave bits out. Started with Q4, whch I thought was reasonably doable.

    Completely exhausted, fingers crossed for this one, but it doesn’t look good for me, I must admit.

    For sensitivity, I waffled about beta, probabilities (EV) and sensitivity.

    God, when I think back, I could have done so much better.

    Paper was easy but time pressured….

    I made some blunders in paper so i will penalise surely….

    1. In question 1, incremental Working capital is not taken as a consequence of applying inflation rate moreover i made calculation to “million rupees” instead of “000”

    2. In question 2, i did (1-tax) with debt included in WACC but tax were already less in the rate moreover when calculation IRR, i didnot take interest after tax….

    I made such blunders after great knowledge of F9, and i am not believing that what done even i known all.

    Luck really really matters.

    May God, i got 50….

    Avinash Bhatia, Q1 was positive but a rather different figure at my end. Q2, i think its just a rounding factor, well done on Q3 and Q4 Same answer

    Well I seem to have done something wrong on Q4 as lots of people seem to think that Bulk purchase was a viable option, I calculated that though it was better than the prompt payment discount it was still worse than there current method so they shouldn’t take either option.

    Q2: For the first bond there was no interest rate or maturity date, did we just assume a rate and maturity?

    if no maturity date ,it should be an irredeemable debt? its interest rate = 100x nominal rate / market value

    750

    I also had (750) in year zero and recovered in year 4. There were no other adjustments to WC required.

    Do you remember on the WACC question, when including the bonds did you have these figures…

    (250m/250m + 62.4m + 40m)*Ke ?
