Dear Sir,
I would like to outline my approach to question 4 part A and learn about Your valuable opinion on this.
What i did is that I calculated theoretical ex right price… To notice, i used net cash raised after deducting issue costs…The figure i got was 3.38. Then i found the nominal value of redeemed loans, by multiplying net cash raised by 100/104…i know, i missed out five percent premium, but method is more important in this case π then i performed exactly the same procedures as You did, got the new earnings after tax, divided it by 20 million shares ( which is incorrect, i did not incorporate 1/5 rights issue, should have divided by 24 million shares, again minor mistake) so that i got new eps. We both got 8.33 and i multiplied this figure by new eps to get the new price, and then i compared this price to theoretical ex rights price… My new price per share (wrong one, due to two mistakes mentioned above) was higher than terp so i said that shareholder wealth will be increased. How You do You reflect on this method?
June 9, 2015 at 8:06 pm #255760Is there a chance I get points for this method?

I used the same method lol, though I used the rights issues in determining the number of shares. I hope we can at least get some credit

@gvtftf how did you estimate the growth rate? I used a different method. I first calculated the dividends in 2014 then 2015 (using the payout ratio) and then estimated the growth rate using the geometric method. I got about 8.5%. I hope Mr Moffatt can also comment on this
June 10, 2015 at 3:39 am #255860Kolklee, i got the same! 8.5%! Mr Moffat has pointed out that we could get full marks for it. I think he will confirm this as soon as he kindly reviews my post π
June 10, 2015 at 7:58 am #255892It is impossible for me to know what the examiner will decide, but based on what he has done in the past I think he will probably still give the marks for using different growth rates.
June 10, 2015 at 8:22 am #255900Mr Moffat, but what about the method outlined by me above, regarding questiin 4?
June 10, 2015 at 10:17 am #255931The approach seems good enough to get reasonable marks.
However, please don’t ask me to say how many marks – it is impossible for me to say.
June 10, 2015 at 10:40 am #255948I just wondered whether You feel my approach is valid as well? :))
June 10, 2015 at 4:06 pm #256061As I wrote earlier, I would expect that the examiner will probably allow several different estimates for the growth – yours seems sensible enough.
June 10, 2015 at 4:32 pm #256091Thanks, dear Sir, but I meant my method regarding question 4, not on divid growth model? Could You please have a look on my first post in this thread? I would like to know Your opinion on my question 4 method π
Thanks for the one regarding growth though!
June 10, 2015 at 4:40 pm #256098Please – it is absolutely impossible for me to predict what marks you will gain or lose on any of the questions. I am not the marker, I do not design the marking scheme, and obviously I cannot see exactly what you did.
