Hi John
1 I have a question on paper DEC 11, Q1. when calculation the present value of tax shield and present value of cheap loan, the answer use the 270000 as the total amount. I know it is correct. I want to can I use the figure 4909 (270000/55) at the total amount to calculate both of them. both are accepted or not ?
2. the examiner calculate the additional tax separately and use the US discount rate. It is right. I want to know, can I integrate the additional tax into the basic NPV, which means in the basic NPV, I added the additional tax after all cash flow translated into the US, sum it and using the discount rate 9.6% to get the present value? do not use the US discount rate to discounting the additional tax

2. The additional tax should be discounted at the US discount rate.
