ACC501 Midterm Solved Subjective Papers

Suppose you have $5,000 on deposit.

• One day, you write a cheque for $1,000 and deposit $2,000.

• What are your disbursement, collection and net floats?

• After writing the cheque, you show a balance of $4,000 on your books, but bank

shows $5,000 while the cheque is clearing. So you have a disbursement float of

$1,000

• Depositing $2,000 increases the book balance to $6,000, but the available balance

remains the same until the cheque clears. So collection float is -$2,000.

• Net float = $1000 + (-2,000) = -$1,000

Question 63= operating cash flow of Rs. 200,000. Net working capital has

decreased by Rs. 50,000 and there is a net capital spending of Rs. 0 during the year. Calculate total
cash flow. (3marks)

Solution:

Total cash flow=200000-(-50000)

toal cash flow =250,000

solution= 2/200=0.01=1answer

Question No: 43 ( Marks: 3 )

Write down the components of total return in terms of dividend growth model.
Answer
R = D1 /P0 + g
This tells us that the total return, R, has two components
D1/P0 is called the Dividend Yield. Because this is calculated as the expected cash
dividend by
the

current price, it is conceptually similar to the current yield on a bond
Growth rate, g, is also the rate at which the stock price grows. So it can be interpreted as
capital
gains yield

Question No: 44 ( Marks: 3 )

What is the difference between operating cycle and cash cycle?

The operating cycle is the sum of the inventory and receivable
periods
Operating cycle = Inventory period + Receivable
period
Cash cycle
•The time between cash disbursement and cash collection. (We spend cash on day 30,
but don't collect until
day 105. so we have to arrange finances $1,000 for 105 - 30 = 75 days)
•So we can describe the cash cycle as:
Cash cycle = Operating cycle - Accounts payable
period
75 days = 105 days - 30 days
Question No: 45 ( Marks: 3 )
How a firm s overall cost of capital is calculated ?
We know that a firm’s overall cost of capital will reflect the required return on the firm’s
assets as a
whole.
•Given that a firms uses both debt and equity capital, this overall cost of capital will be a
mixture
of the
returns needed to compensate its creditors and stockholders.

NPV appears to be zero between 13% and 15%, so IRR is somewhere in that
range. With a little effort we can find that the IRR is about 14.21 %

IRR = Lower discount Rate + Difference between the two discount rates x (NPV at lower
discounted rate / absolute difference between the NPVs of the two discount
rates)

= 13 + ( 15 – 13 ) x ( 9,638 / (9,638 – ( - 6243 ))

= 13 + 2 x ( 9,638 / 15,881 )

IRR = 14.21 %

CONCLUSION:

Project A has NPV of Rs.19,971 and IRR for the project is 15.78 %.

Project B has NPV of Rs. 27,046 and IRR for the project is 14.19 %.

On the basis of these findings, It can be observed that according to IRR both
projects are good because required rate of return for both projects is less than
IRR but the company should go for Project B as it has a higher NPV.

Question:

Following are some information about SNT Company:

 Company just paid a dividend of Rs.2 per share.

 Company has a share price of Rs.30.
 The dividends are expected to grow @ 10% forever.

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
 Company has Rs.75 million in equity and Rs.75 million in debt in its total capital.
 The tax rate for the firm is 35% and the Cost of debt is 8%.
Required:

Calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for SNT Company.

Solution:

Cost of Equity:

P0 = Rs. 30

G = 10%

D0 = Rs. 2

So,

P0 = D0 (1+g) / RE –g

30 = 2 (1.10) / RE – 0.10

30 (RE - 0.10) = 2.20

30RE - 3.0 = 2.20

30RE = 5.20

RE = 5.20/30

RE = 0.1733 or 17.33%

WACC:

Equity = E = Rs. 75 Million

Debt = D = Rs. 75 Million

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
Total = V = Rs. 150 Million

Tc = 35%

RE = 17.33%

RD = 8%

WACC = ?

WACC = (E/V) x Re + [(D/V) x RD x 1 - TC]

WACC = (75/150) x 0.1733 + [(75/150) x 0.08 x 1 - 0.35]

WACC = 0.50 x 0.1733 + [0.50 x 0.08 x 0.65]

WACC = 0.08665 + [0.040 x 0.65]

WACC = 0.08665 + 0.0260

WACC = 0.1127 or 11.27%

The following data is from Saratoga Farms Inc. 2004 financial statements.

Sales = $ 2,000,000

Net Income = $ 200,000

Total Assets = $ 1,000,000

Debt to Total Asset Ration = 60

Required

a) Construct and solve the Dupont equation for Saratoga Farms.

b) What will be the impact on ROE if Debt to Total Assets Ratio were 20%?
Solution:

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
a) Dupont Equation

Dupont equation is used to judge the impact of operational efficiency and

effectiveness on the return on equity and assets or we can say on the overall
performance of the company. The Dupont equation can be obtained by
decomposing the ROE. It can be achieved through following way:

Net Income
ROE = --------------------
Total Equity

Multiplying it by Assets / Assets (without changing anything)

Net Income Net Income Assets

ROE = ---------------- = ---------------- x -----------
Total Equity Total Equity Assets

Net Income Assets

ROE = --------------------- x ----------------
Assets Total Equity
Net Income Assets
ROE = ---------------- x ----------------
Assets Total Equity

So, we have expressed ROE as a product of two other ratios – ROA and the
equity multiplier
ROE = ROA x Equity multiplier
= ROA x (1 + Debt-Equity ratio)
Now we will calculate the for the above date using Dupont Approach;

ROE = ROA x Equity Multiplier

ROE = Net Income x Net Sales x Assets

Net Sales Assets Equity

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com

We can find equity by total debt to total assets ratio i.e. 60%. That means the
equity to assets is 40%. In Absolute values it is (1,000,000 x 0.40) = 400,000

So by putting the values in equation we may get,

ROE = 200,000 x 2,000,000 x 1,000,000

2,000,000 1,000,000 400,000

ROE = 0.50 or 50 %

b) Now if debt to total asset ratio is 20%

If debt to total assets ratio is 20% that means that now equity is 80% of the total
assets i.e. 800,000. The new ROE will be as follows:

ROE = Net Income x Net Sales x Assets

Net Sales Assets Equity

ROE = 200,000 x 2,000,000 x 1,000,000

2,000,000 1,000,000 800,000

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
ROE = 0.25 or 25 %

ROE will be decreased due to increase in equity.

Question:
Greme Smith has to receive $200,000 five years from now and $100,000 seven
years from now from an investment he has made. The nominal rate of interest
prevailing is 12% per annum. Calculate the aggregate present value of both
future cash flows for Mr. Smith.
Solution:
C1 = $ 200,000 t1 = 5 years

C2 = $ 100,000 t2 = 7 years

r = 12% p.a.

Aggregate Present Value =?

Calculate the present value for the first cash inflow;

PV0 = C1 / (1+ r) t1

PV0 = 200,000 / (1+0.12)5

PV0 = 200,000 / (1.12)5

PV0 = 200,000 / 1.762

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
PV0 = $ 113,507.38

Now calculate the present value for the second cash inflow;

PV0 = C2 / (1+ r) t2

PV0 = 100,000 / (1+0.12)7

PV0 = 100,000 / (1.12)7

PV0 = 100,000 / 2.210

PV0 = $ 45,228.4

The aggregate present value = $ 113,507.38 + $ 45,228.4

= $ 158735.78

Question 1

Zig Zag Company has outstanding Rs.1, 000- face –value bond with a 16 percent
coupon rate and 6 years remaining until final maturity. Interest payments are
made quarterly. (12)

Required:

What would be the value of this bond if your nominal annual required rate of
return is as follows?

i) 12 percent

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
ii) 15 percent

iii) 18 percent?

Solution:

Coupon of bond =C = 1,000* 0.16 = Rs. 160

As payments are made quarterly so,

C = 160 / 4 = 40

(i) 12 %

As payments are made quarterly,

r = r / 4 = 0.12 / 4 = 0.03

t = t x 4 = 6 x 4 = 24

Value of Bond= C x [1-{1/ (1+r)} t]/r + F/ (1+r) t

= 40 x [1- 1 / (1+0.03) 24]/0.03 + 1000/ (1+0.03) 24

= 40 x (1- 0.4919)/0.03 + 1000 / 2.0328

= 40 x 0.5081/0.03 + 491.932

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
= 40 x 16.9367 + 491.932

= 677.467 + 491.932

= Rs. 1169.399

Question 01

Why finance is important for business firm? (Give answer with reference to the
importance of finance in different departments of a firm). (5)

Answer:

Finance is as important for the other areas of the business as it is important for
the Finance division of the firm. it is as much important for the marketing
department, for general manger and for the accountant as it is for the financial
manger like;

Marketing manger must need to know the budget to undertake the activities of
the project; they must need to look at the expenditures and revenues of the
particular project.

Marketers have to make the cost-benefit analysis; they have to cover the aspects
like,

 the impact of the project on the other product of the firm

 the future benefits of the project.

Marketing research needs funds along with the personal efforts of the
researchers, surveys undertaking need money. They must decide about the
distribution channel, they select the channel in cost perspective. What price
would be charged to the final product? All these questions have to answer by the
marketing manger.

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
So the marketing manger’s major decisions revolve around the finance.

Management decisions either relevant to marketing, human resource

management or finance all need to know finance.

Strategic management decisions most based on finance the manger cannot

implement a single plan unless it is financially viable.

Question 02

What is difference between a controller and a treasurer? (3)

Answer:

Controller has the responsibility of the Accounting section (Head of the

Accounting Section) prepare financial statements. Treasurer is the head of the
Finance section and plays the role of financial manager. Look at from where to
generate funds and how to invest them.

Question 03

What are the key questions answered by the subject of Business Finance? (2)

Answer:

Capital budgeting: where to invest in the long run?

www.vustudy.com
 www.vustudy.com
Capital structure: from where to raise funds? What should be the ratio of equity
and borrowed money?

Working capital management: how to mange working capital?

Q: define fisher effect

Answer: _ the Fisher Effect
The relationship between real and nominal returns is described by the Fisher
Effect. Let:
R = the nominal return
r = the real return
h = the inflation rate.

Q: find compound interest

Answer: _ if interest is left in the account to accumulate for a longer period
(usually longer than one year), common practice requires that after interest is
earned and credited for a given period, the new sum of principal + interest must
now earn interest for the next period, etc. This is compound interest.

Q: find out real rate...

Answer: _ Real Rate of Interest
· When real rate is high; all interest rates will tend to be higher and vice versa.
· Thus real rate does not really determine the shape of the term structure rather it
influences the overall level of interest rates

Q) “An investment is acceptable if the IRR exceeds the required return. It should
be rejected otherwise.” Explain.

ANSWER: •Now for our example, NPV for the investment at discount rate R is:
NPV = -$100 + 110/(1 + R)
•Now if we don’t know the discount rate, it represents a problem. But still we
could ask, how high the
discount rate would have to be before this project was unacceptable.
•The investment is economically a break-even proposition when the NPV is zero
because the value is
neither created nor destroyed.
•To find the break-even discount rate, we set NPV equal to zero and solve for R
NPV = 0 = -$100 + 110/(1 + R)]
$100 = $110/(1 + R)
1 + R = $110/100 = 1.10
R = 10%

 www.vustudy.com
•This 10% is what we already have called the return on this investment.
