How was the exam for everyone?
June 6, 2025 at 8:33 pm #717753Afternoon paper was way too difficult
Sec was simple NPV, Sensitivity and other one was Ratios for working capital and discussion on overtrading plus theory.
Section B was the most annoying – Bond valuation, Fx rates and I don’t recall the other one
Section A was tough as well, weird graphs of NPV and 4-6 marks questions on Islamic finance, a bit to govt policy and cost of equity calc
Does anyone remember the other section B question that I don’t recall?
June 6, 2025 at 8:47 pm #717754Did the morning exam.
Section C was a cashflow question – hadnt revised this at all really
Section C was also a NPV calc – Strange wording and I ended up with a negative NPVSection B Forex – interest rate parity
Section B Working capital formulas (I think)Section A seemed ok apart from Marginal average cost of capital I had never heard of this before

June 6, 2025 at 9:12 pm #717756Could anyone share how a good answer for part c question regarding working capital should look like? And which ratios count?

June 6, 2025 at 9:13 pm #717758Also in part c question about sensitivity – was IRR too high? 45% as I remember
June 6, 2025 at 9:23 pm #717759I calculated IRR it was around 18%-19%
June 6, 2025 at 9:25 pm #717760Can anyone tell me whether Gro co in section C was overtrading or not?
June 6, 2025 at 9:57 pm #717761Yes it was since revenue was shooting up but profits weren’t and they had increased overdrafts.

June 6, 2025 at 11:05 pm #717763But I remember the PAT was more in 20X7 then 20X6
June 7, 2025 at 12:08 am #717764Overtrading signs
Rapid increase in revenue
Rapid increase in receivables, inventory and payables days (As I calculated the above I quickly did the cash operating cycle as well)Sudden large reliance on ST finance – they used $11m of overdraft and none in the prior year
Liquidity ratios would have also indicated a fall in liquidity which is another sign of overtrading.All of the above boxes were ticked for 20X7!
