11y ago#1No 1: You have calculated the EOQ. The question does not ask for the EOQ it asks at what level a new order should be placed, which is 30/365 x (12 x 7500)
No 2: After 2 years we have got back 100,000. So we need another 60,000, which will take 60/80 of the third year.
No 3: 1 sterling buys 1.44 Euro. 1 sterling also buys 1.71 $. So 1.71$ = 1.44 Euro.
So 1 $ will get 1.44/1.71 = 0.84 euros
No 4. the PE should be the same as the sector. If it is higher than one reason is the share price is too high (PE = share price/EPS). Also, it is standard use of PE that the higher the PE the greater the expected growth (i.e. the more you are prepared to pay for the share, so the higher PE). Watch the lectures for more on this.
No 5: From the CAPM formula, required return = 3% + 0.5x8% = 7%
Then use the dividend growth model formula. Do = 24c; g = 4%
No 6: PE of A = 1.0.125 = 8. It is lower than sector which could be because it is undervalued
No 1: You have calculated the EOQ. The question does not ask for the EOQ it asks at what level a new order should be placed, which is 30/365 x (12 x 7500)
The answer when I did it I got 30 but the correct answer I written down as 24 Days. How do you get 24 days please?
Thank you
11y ago#3vipulv: you are asking about a different question - your question is not the one that Violet asked if you read carefully!!
The question that you are referring to asked how often a new order would be placed.
To do this you need the EOQ, which is 6,000.
The total demand is 12 x 7500 = 90,000 per year
So they need to order 90,000 / 6,000 = 15 times a year.
With 365 days in a year, that means ordering every 365/15 = 24 days.
Oh yes correct John. :) That is the question I received when I did the test yesterday, I was baffled with the 24 Days makes perfect sense now. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help.
I have a few questions if you can please help me with:

Please help me :)
Thank you for your effort.
11y ago#6Vipulv: In future, if you want me to answer then you must ask in the F9 Ask the Tutor Forum - this forum is for students to help each other.
Question 1:
The interest yield is interest/MV = 6/120 = 5%.
You can not be asked to actually calculate the redemption yield, but you are expected to know that it takes into account not just the interest but also the loss there is on redemption. So here it must be lower than the interest yield, and only one of the answers satisfies that.
11y ago#7Question 2:
If you watch the free lecture you will find I go through an almost identical question.
If there is to be no cash effect, then the total MV of shares held after the rights issue must be equal to the total value of shares held before the rights issue.
If someone owned 1000 share before the issue then they would be worth $4000.
The TERP is $3.85, so to be worth in total 4000 after the issue they must then have 4000/3.85 = 1039 shares.
So the must have taken up 39 shares. They were entitled to take up 1/5 x 1000 = 200
So they took up 39/200 = 19.5%
11y ago#8Question 3:
How on earth can debt and equity be 15% each? 15% of what?
If debt is 30% of the total, then equity must be 70% of the total.
We know the asset beta (1.3), so use this in the asset beta formula to get the equity beta.
Then use the equity beta in the normal CAPM formula to get the cost of equity.
11y ago#9Question 4
How can dividend cover be 1/3.2 when the question says that dividend cover is 3.2??
If dividend cover is 3.2 then EPS must be 3.2 x dividend = 3.2 x 0.20 = 0.64
If PE is 9, then MV = 9 x 0.64 = $5.76
11y ago#10Question 5
Po = Do(1+g) / (Re - g)
Do = 0.40; g = 0.05 ; Re = 0.20
So Po = $2.80
The formula gives an ex div value, but since the dividend is about to be paid we need the cum div value. Cum div value = 2.80 + 0.40 = $3.20
Hi John,
Thank you so much for your perfect help! :) Sorry to write directly into here first place, I am quite new.
Thank you

(Debt: (Equity+Debt) = 30%

Kindly advise. Thanks.
11y ago#14Look at my answer to vvipulv's 'Question 3' above.
Hello,
can you please help me. There are 2 questions in MCQ, that I don't know how the results were got:
1. RI Co has in issue 6% redeemable bonds, quoted at 120% ex int.
Which of the following statements is consistent with the above information:
The correct answer is Interest yield 5%; redemption yield 4%.
How it was calculated?
2. A company has sales of $200M per year.
Currently customers take on average 40 days to pay.
The company is considering offering a discount of 1% for payment within 15 days and expects that 60% of customers will take advantage of the discount.
What is the effective annual cost of offering the discount?
The correct answer is: 15.8%.
I've calculated that there is a benefit from decrease in trade receivable days, that brings lower trade receivables by $8 220 and there is an additional cost from 1% discount that is equal to $ 1200. How to calculate the annual cost of offering the discount?
Thank you very much!
Ina.
Hi Ina,
The only thing i can help with in question 1 is the interest yield is 5% because it's calculated as interest/MV meaning 6/120 which is 5%.
In question 2 The discount is 1/99 = 1.010101% over a period of 25 days (40 – 15).
To convert this into an annual rate, then strictly 1 + annual rate = 1.010101^(365/25)
1+ annual rate = 1.1580
Annual rate = 0.1580 or 15.80%
sorry, I found out the answer to question 1, it was replied above to vipulv.
I have one more question:
3. R plc has in issue $400 000 8% bonds, redeemable in 5 years time at a premium of 10%. Investors require return of 12% p.a.
The rate of corporation tax is 35%.
What is the total market value of the debt in issue?
the correct answer is $364 840.
How was calculated that?
Thank you very much!
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Ina.
Thank you very much, Aleksanders!
I'm still confused with the formula, can I find it somewhere in study or practice text?
Thank you!
Ina.
11y ago#19For question 1, you are not expected to be able to calculate the redemption yield, but you are expected to know what it is.
It is the return taking into account not just the interest but also the gain or loss on redemption.
Since there is a loss on redemption (the market value is currently 120 and they will be repaid at nominal of 100) the redemption yield must be lower than the interest yield.
Only one of the choices has the redemption yield lower than the interest yield of 5%.
Thank you, John!
Can you, please, help me with the other 2 questions:
1. A company has sales of $200M per year.

3. R plc has in issue $400 000 8% bonds, redeemable in 5 years time at a premium of 10%. Investors require return of 12% p.a.
The rate of corporation tax is 35%.
What is the total market value of the debt in issue?

and one more question:
3. A company has agreed to lease a machine for a period of 8 years, with equal annual payments payable at start of each year.
The NPV of the agreement at a rate of 10% is $52 000.
What is the annual lease payment (to the nearest $)?
My calculation is: 52 000 / 5.335 (from annuity table the amount from discount rate 10% and period 8) and the result is $9 747, but the correct answer is $8 862. Why?
Thank you very much!
Ina.
11y ago#22Question 1:
This is a 'simple discount' question.
The discount is 1/99 = 1.010101% over a period of 25 days (40 - 15)
To turn it into a yearly rate, if r is the yearly rate then 1+ r = 1.010101^(365/25)
r = 0.1580 or 15.80%
11y ago#23Question 2:
For every $100 nominal, the expected receipts are:
1 - 5 $8 p.a.
5 $110
The market value is the PV at 12%, which is $91.21
So the total market value = 400,000 x 91.21/100
(The tax is always irrelevant when calculating market value - the investors receive the full interest. It is only relevant when calculating the cost of debt, because the company gets tax relief on the interest.)
11y ago#24Question 3:
You answer would have been correct if the lease payments were at the end of each year. However they are at the start of each year.
So the first payment is 'now' (discount factor 1), and the other seven payments are 1 to 7 (discount factor 4.868).
So total discount factor = 5.868.
So lease payment = $52000 / 5.868 = $8,862
Thank you very much, John! Your answers are very helpful. We like to complicate our lifes, but in fact the calculations are very simple... :)
I'm doing now MCQ and I have one more question... :)
LJM Co is considering investing in new project which will cost $160,000. It has an expected life of 4 years and an expected scrap value of $20,000. The anticipated net operating cash flows each year are as follows:
Year 1: 40,000
Year 2: 60,000
Year 3: 80,000
Year 4: 20,000
The cost of capital is 10% p.a.
What is the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of the investment?
1. 9.38%
2. 16.67%
3. 55.56%
4. 21.43%
And how it was calculated?
Thank you very much!
Ina.
Hi Ina,
I just did this and I believe it is 16.67.
This is how I did it.
Avg profit / avg investment x 100
So first average investment is 160,000 + 20,000 / 2 = 90,000
Avg profit = Total cash - (Investment - residual)
Total cash = 200,000 (40+60+80+20) These are net so no need to do dicount factor again i believe.
Investment - residual = 160,000 - 20,000 =140,000
Hence Avg profit = 200,000 - 140,000 = 60,000
Divide by 4 years to get average is 60/6= 15,000
So ARR = 15000/ 90000 = 16.67 %
Cost $160,000. It has an expected life of 4 years and an expected scrap value of $20,000. The anticipated net operating cash flows each year are as follows:
Year 1: 40,000
Year 2: 60,000
Year 3: 80,000
Year 4: 20,000
The cost of capital is 10% p.a.
What is the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of the investment?
1. 9.38%
2. 16.67%
3. 55.56%
4. 21.43%
And how it was calculated?
Sorry for retyping the question at the end lol!

What's up with that then?
I am sorry I will ask some questions that might be easy but I am extremely not focused and I guess I have just neglected some small but important points in here
1) Jam co. has inventory of 1M cash of 0.5 M, current liab. of 2.5 M sales 50 M and current ratio of 2.4, what's the rec. collection period? my answer keeps appearing 29.2
2) Share price is 5.2 it has increased 0.6 than the beg. of the year, div. were .45 what is the return on shareholders funds.?
11y ago#30jilith: It is difficult for me to help without seeing your calculator. Are you using brackets to calculate 365/25?
Mohamed:
1: current assets must be 2.4 x 2.5M = 8M
So receivables must be 8 - 0.5 - 1 = 6.5M
So receivables days = 6.5/50 x 365 = 47.45
2: Share price at the start of the year was 4.6 (5.2 - 0.6)
Returns for the year = divi of 0.45 + growth in share price of 0.6 = 1.05
So return = 1.05/4.6 = 22.83%
