July 21 (4 Marks), MTP Oct 22 (8 Marks)
Answer:
(i) Number of new equity shares to be offered for each rights head
Subscription Price
CA Mayank Kothari
= ₹40 × 0.80
= ₹32 per share
Ex Right Price to be restricted to
= ₹40 × 0.90
= ₹36
Let R be the ratio in which right share to be issued then
₹40 + ₹32 × R
₹36=
1+R
36 + 36R = ₹40 + 32R
R=1
Thus, 1 equity share be offered for each share held.
(ii) Theoretical Value of right = ₹36 – ₹ 32 = ₹4
(iii)

Question 3
Find the current market price of a bond having face value ₹1,00,000 redeemable after 6 year maturity
with YTM at 16% payable annually and duration 4.3202 years. Given 1.166 = 2.4364.
Answer:
The formula for the duration of a coupon bond is as follows:
1+YTM (1+YTM)+t(c-YTM)
D= -
YTM c (1+YTM)t -1 +YTM
Where YTM = Yield to Maturity
c = Coupon Rate
t = Years to Maturity
Accordingly, since YTM = 0.16 and t = 6
1.16 1.16+6(c 0.16)
4.3202 = -
0.16 c (1.16)6 -1 +0.16
1.16+(6c- 0.96)
4.3202 = 7.25-
1.4364c+0.16
1.16+6c- 0.96
= 2.9298
1.4364c+0.16
0.2 + 6c = 4.20836472 c + 0.468768
1.79163528c = 0.268768
c = 0.150012674
c = 0.15
Where c = Coupon rate
CA Mayank Kothari
11.319x+246000
4.3202 =
3.684x+41000
x = ₹14,983 i.e. 14.98% say 15%
Accordingly, current price of the Bond shall be:
= 1,00,000 × 0.15 × PVAF (16%, 6) + 1,00,000 × PVF (16%, 6)
= 15,000 × 3.685 + 1,00,000 × 0.410
= ₹96,275

How do you recommend and interpret the risk scenario and investment in all the securities?
MTP Apr 24 (6 Marks), MTP Apr 23 (8 Marks)
Answer:
Let WA, WB, WC and WD be the weights of Stock A, B, C and Debenture respectively.
WA = 4,00,000 ÷ 20,00,000 = 0.20
WB = 5,00,000 ÷ 20,00,000 = 0.25
Now = WC + WD = 1 – WA – WB = 0.55
It is given in the question that Portfolio should be as risky as that of the market. It means Beta of the
portfolio should be 1.
Hence,
WA (0.7) + WB (1.1) + WC (1.6) + WD (0) = 1
0.2 × 0.7 + 0.25 × 1.1 + 1.6WC + WD × 0 = 1
0.14 + 0.275 + 1.6WC + 0 = 1
1.6WC = 1 – 0.415
1.6 WC = 0.585
WC = 0.585 /1.6 = 0.3656
Weight of Debenture (WD) = 1- 0.2 – 0.25 – 0.3656 = 0.1844
Hence, Amount invested in Stock C = 0.3656 × 20,00,000 = ₹7,31,200
Amount invested in Debenture D = 0.1844 × 20,00,000 = ₹3,68,800
Thus, amount to be invested in Stock (C) is ₹ 7,31,200 and in Debenture is ₹3,68,800.

(iii) To determine whether the market is in Contango/ Backwardation first we shall compute Basis as
follows:
Basis = Spot Price - Future Price
If Basis is negative the market is said to be in Contango and when it is positive the market is said
to be Backwardation.
CA Mayank Kothari
Since current Spot Price is 2376 and Nifty Futures is 2400, the Basis is negative and hence there
is Contango Market and maximum Contango shall be 24 (2400 – 2376).
(iv) Pay off on the Future transaction shall be [(2400 – 2100) × 375] = ₹112500
The Future seller gains if the Spot Price is less than Futures Contract price as position shall be
reversed at same Spot price. Therefore, Mr. SG has gained ₹1,12,500/- on the Short position
taken.
Question 2
A future contract on BSE Index with 4 months maturity is used to hedge the value of the portfolio over
the next 3 months. One future contract for delivery is 50 times of the index.
The following information is available:
Value of the portfolio ₹1,16,00,000
BSE Sensex on 1st January 2022 58580
st
(Anticipated on 1 September 2021)
BSE Sensex on 1st January 2022 56641.25
(Anticipated on 1st December 2021)
Dividend Yield of Index 6% p.a.
181 days’ treasury bills offers a rate of interest 9% p.a.
Beta of the portfolio 1.5
You are required to calculate:
(i) The present value of the Sensex as on 1st September 2021
(ii) Turned out value of the Sensex as on 1st December 2021
(iii) The number of contracts to hedge the portfolio. Dec 21 (8 Marks)
Answer:
(i) Let X be the present value of the Sensex as the 1st September, 2021
4
58,580 = X + X 9% - 6% ×
12
X
58,580 = X+
100
X = 58,000
Thus, the present value of Sensex as on 1st September 2021 is 58,000
(ii) Let turned out value of Sensex on 1st Dec. 2021 is Y, then
1
56,641.25 = Y + Y 9% - 6% ×
12
Y
56,641.25 = Y+

Y = 56,500
Thus, turned out value of Sensex on 1st December 2021 is 56,500
Question 3
Mr. Careless was employed with ABC Portfolio Consultants. The work profile of Mr. Careless involves
advising the clients about taking position in Future Market to obtain hedge in the position they are
holding. Mr. ZZZ, their regular client purchased 100,000 shares of X Inc. at a price of $22 and sold
50,000 shares of A plc for $40 each having beta 2. Mr. Careless advised Mr. ZZZ to take short position
in Index Future trading at $1,000 each contract.
Though Mr. Careless noted the name of A plc along with its beta value during discussion with Mr. ZZZ
but forgot to record the beta value of X Inc.
On next day Mr. ZZZ closed out his position when:
Share price of X Inc. dropped by 2%
Share price of A plc appreciated by 3%
Index Future dropped by 1.5%
Mr. ZZZ, informed Mr. Careless that he has made a loss of $114,500 due to the position taken. Since
record of Mr. Careless was incomplete, he approached you to help him to find the number of contracts
of Future contract he advised Mr. ZZZ to be short to obtain a complete hedge and beta value of X Inc.
You are required to find these values. RTP May 15
Answer:
Let the number of contracts in Index future be y and Beta of X Inc. be x. Then,
100,000 × 22 × x -50,000 × 40 × 2
= -y*
1,000
* Negative (-) sign indicates the sale (short) position
2,200,000x – 4,000,000 = -1,000y
