    Hey, those are the questions I had. Do you remember when you put for WACC?
    My cost of debt was really low, like 2.6% , which I may think might be a little too low

    My section C was NPV worth 5 marks with then some sensitivity calculations, I could do sensitivity to sales volume but could not remember how to work out sensitivity to discount factor!
    The other was the cash operating cycle, got 41 days. Then explain 3 ways to reduce cycle and a 6 mark question on why cash is important to a business, my answer would probably get 2 marks at the most!
    I also had a Miller Orr question but forgot to square the deviation and change interest rate to daily so no marks there!

    I personally thought the exam was quite hard. Especially the MCQ”S.

    I know this has been discussed but anyone who got the CAPM question about the construction companies, did you get 19 . something % for the Project specific cost of equity? and 17 something % for the companies general cost of equity?

    please let me know. Thanks!

    awesome man. glad to hear that. and yeah the mcq’s were kinda ridiculous. Quite a few mcq’s that couldn’t really be solved unless you thoroughly read the whole textbook. Well anyways, I hopefully pray that we both (and the everyone else tbh) passes

    It should be around 68 days as you had to separate cash and credit sales , also raw materials had credit purchases in it so need to separate also, otherwise inventory was straight forward.

    It doesn’t make sense to have 41 days as it defeats the purpose of the second question on how to improve working capital days.

    I agree Trushal. Did you just use the cost of sales figure for inventory WIP?

    Did anyone got the calculation of irr using 11% and 20% discount rates in section C? What was the answer? Part b was about Discounted payback period.
    The second question was about decision to give early settlement discount, calculation of working capital cycle and crtical discussion of working capital policies to be adopted. What were your answers to these?

    Is it just me or compared to the other F modules does FM’s calculation questions in section c always seem to be a lot of work for very few marks? I sat mine today and felt very overwhelmed and just forgot everything I guessed loads. The MCQ’s were really tough! Never mind September here I come!
