Q.1: A company has issued a bond with face value of Rs.1000 , with10% pa coupon rate payable annually and a tenure of 10 years tomaturity. At the end of 10 years, the bond will be redeemed at apremium of 10% to face value .
a) At what price would you buy the bond if the prevailing interest
rate is 12% pa on investments of similar risk?b) What is the YTM of the bond if the prevailing price is same ascalculated in a) above.
c) What is the current yield of the bond at the given price?
d) If the coupon rate is paid semi-annually, at what price would youbuy the bond at the 12% pa prevailing interest rate?
A.1: a) PVIFA(Kd,n) = [(1 + Kd)n - 1 ] / [Kd (1 + Kd) n]
PVIFA(12%,10) = [(1+0.12)10 -1] / [0.12(1+0.12) 10]
= [(1.12) 10 -1] / [0.12(1.12) 10]
= 2.11 / 0.37
= 5.70
coupon rate I = 10%
face value = 1000
So, I = 1000 * 10 % = Rs 100
Value of Bond Vo = I * PVIFA(Kd,n) + F/(1+Kd) n
= 100 * 5.70 + 1000/ (1.12)10= 570 + 1000/ 3.10
= 570 + 322.58
= 892.58

b) {I+ (F- P)/n} / {(F+P)/2}
I = 100 , F = 1120 , P= 892
= { 100 + (1000 892) / 10} / {(1000+892) / 2}= 110.8 / 946
= 11.7 %
c) Current Yield = coupan Interest / current market price
Coupan Interest= 1000 * 10% = 100
Current market price = 892
Current Yield = 100 / 892
= 11.21 %
d) Vo = (I / 2) / (1 + Kd/2)n + F / (1 + Kd/2)2n
= ( 100 /2 ) / (1+ 0.12/2)10 + 1000 / (1+ 0.12/2)2*10
= 50 / 1.79 + 1000 / 3.20
= 27.93 + 312.5
= 340.43
Q.2: Given the following details for a company:
Net operating income 200,000Overall cost of capital 20%Value of the firm 1000,000Cost of debt 15%Interest 75,000Market value of debt 500,000Market value of equity 500,000
a) Given the assumptions of the net operating income approach,what will be the cost of equity, if the market value of debt is200,000.
b) Given the assumptions of the net income approach, what willbe the overall cost of capital with Market value of debt of200,000.
A.2: a)
Cost of equity Ke = K0 + (K0-Kd)(B/S)Here: K0 = 0.2; Kd = 0.15; B = 200000 S=800000

Ke = 0.2 + (0.2 - 0.15) (200000/800000)
Ke = 0.2125
B. K0 = [B/(B+S)]Kd + [S/(B+S)] Ke
= [200000/(200000+800000)]*0.15 + [800000/(200000+800000)]*0.2125
= 0.03+ 0.17
K0 = 0.20

c) Price earnings ratio
d) Financial risk
A.5: Operating Cycle: The Operating Cycle of a business is ametric that calculates the average number of days it takes torecover via a final debtor collections, the cash initially outlaid forresource inputs. The Operating Cycle includes raw materialpurchases, inventories, conversions, sales, debtor accounts anddebtor collections.The operating cycle of a business is also known as the "CashOperating Cycle", the "Cash to Cash Cycle", the"Cash Conversion Cycle" or simply the "Cash Cycle".The Operating Cycle for a manufacturing based business can
involve many stages, namely:1. Purchase - the receipt of raw materials from suppliers on
account.
2. Conversion - the conversion of these raw materials intofinished goods
3. Inventory - the holding and storage of raw materials,Work-In-Progress (WIP) and Finished Goods.
4. Payment - the payment of the supplier's account for theraw materials received earlier.
5. Sale - the sale of finished goods to customers on account6. Collection - the collection of money from these customers
in payment of their account
b) Total inventory cost : The economic order quantity (EOQ)
refers to the optimal order size that will result in the lowest total of
order and carrying costs for an item of inventory given its expected
usage, carrying costs and ordering cost. By calculating an economic
order quantity, the firm attempts to determine the order size that
will minimize the total inventory costs.
Total inventory cost = Ordering cost + Carrying costTotal ordering costs = Number of orders x Cost per order= $ U / Q X FWhereU = Annual usageQ = Quantity orderedF = Fixed cost per orderThe total carrying costs = Average level of inventory x Price per unitx Carrying cost (percentage)

Amit KulshresthaRoll No: 571014385
Total carrying costs= $ Q / 2 x P x C= $ QPC over 2
WhereQ = Quantity orderedP = Purchase price per unitC = Carrying cost as %As the lead-time (i.e., time required for procurement of material) isassumed to be zero an order for replenishment is made when theinventory level reduces to zero.The level of inventory will be equal to the order quantity (Q units) tostart with. It progressively declines (though in a discrete manner) tolevel O by the end of period 1. At that point an order forreplenishment will be made for Q units. In view of zero lead-time,the inventory level jumps to Q and a similar procedure occurs in thesubsequent periods. As a result of this the average level ofinventory will remain at (Q/2) units, the simple average of the twoend points Q and Zero.From the above discussion the average level of inventory is knownto be (Q/2) units.From the previous discussion, we know that as order quantity (Q)increases the total ordering costs will decrease while the total
carrying costs will increase. The economic order quantity, denotedby Q*, is that value at which the total cost of both ordering andcarrying will be minimized. It should be noted that total costsassociated with inventoryT= $ UF / Q + $QPC / 2
c) Price Earnings RatioThe price earnings ratio reflects the amount investors are willing topay for each rupee of earnings.Expected earnings per share = (Expected PAT) (Preferencedividend) / Number of outstanding shares.
Expected PAT is dependent on a number of factors like sales, grossprofit margin, depreciation and interest and tax rate. The priceearnings ratio has to consider factors like growth rate, stability ofearnings, company size, company management team and dividendpay-out ratio.
P/E Ratio = (1-b) / r ROE * b
Where, 1-b is dividend pay-out ratio
8/3/2019 Assign Sem2 45
8/23
Amit KulshresthaRoll No: 571014385
r is required rate of returnROE*b is expected growth rate
d) Financial risk: Financial risk is an umbrella term for any riskassociated with any form of financing. Risk may be taken asdownside risk, the difference between the actual return and theexpected return (when the actual return is less), or theuncertainty of that return. Risk related to an investment is oftencalled investment risk. Risk related to a company's cash flow iscalled business risk.
Credit risk : Credit risk, also called default risk, is the risk
associated with a borrower going into default (not making paymentsas promised). Investor losses include lost principal and interest,decreased cash flow, and increased collection costs. Investment riskhas been shown to be particularly large and particularly damagingfor very large, one-off investment projects, so-called"megaprojects". This is because such projects are especially proneto end up in what has been called the "debt trap," i.e., a situationwhere due to cost overruns, schedule delays, etc. the costs ofservicing debt becomes larger than the revenues available to payinterest on and bring down the debt
Market risk : This is the risk that the value of a portfolio, either aninvestment portfolio or a trading portfolio, will decrease due to thechange in value of the market risk factors. The four standardmarket risk factors are stock prices, interest rates, foreignexchange rates, and commodity prices
Liquidity risk : This is the risk that a given security or asset cannot betraded quickly enough in the market to prevent a loss (or make therequired profit). There are two types of liquidity risk:
Asset liquidity- An asset cannot be sold due to lack of liquidity inthe market - essentially a sub-set of market risk. This can beaccounted for by:
Widening bid-offer spread
Making explicit liquidity reserves
Lengthening holding period for VaR calculations
Funding liquidity- Risk that liabilities:
Cannot be met when they fall due
Can only be met at an uneconomic price

Can be name-specific or systemic
Operational risk
Reputational risk
Legal risk
IT risk
Diversification: Financial risk, market risk, and even inflation risk,can at least partially be moderated by forms of diversification. Thereturns from different assets are highly unlikely to be perfectlycorrelated and the correlation may sometimes be negative. A keyissue in diversification is the correlation between assets, thebenefits increasing with lower correlation. Diversification has costs.Correlations must be identified and understood, and since they arenot constant it may be necessary to rebalance the portfolio whichincurs transaction costs due to buying and selling assets. The is alsothe risk that as an investor or fund manager diversifies their abilityto monitor and understand the assets may decline leading to thepossibility of losses due to poor decisions or unforeseen correlations
Hedging : Hedging is a method for reducing risk where acombination of assets are selected to offset the movements of eachother. For instance when investing in a stock it is possible to buy anoption to sell that stock at a defined price at some point in thefuture. The combined portfolio of stock and option is now much less
likely to move below a given value. As in diversification there is acost, this time in buying the option for which there is a premium.
Q.6: Explain the Net operating income approach to capital structuretheories
A.6: Net operating income approach (NOI) : Net operatingincome approach is propounded by Durand and is totally opposite ofthe Net Income Approach. Durand says that any change in leveragewill not lead to any change in the total value of the firm, marketprice of shares and overall cost of capital. The overall capitalisationrate is the same for all degrees of leverage. We know that:
K0 = [B/(B+S)]Kd + [S/(B+S)]Ke
As per the NOI approach the overall capitalisation rate remainsconstant for all degrees of leverage. The market values the firm asa whole and the split in the capitalisation rates between debt andequity is not very significant.

Amit KulshresthaRoll No: 571014385
The increase in the ratio of debt in the capital structure increasesthe financial risk of equity shareholders and to compensate this,they expect a higher return on their investments. Thus the cost ofequity is
Ke = K0 +[ (K0 Kd)(B/S)]
Cost of debt
The cost of debt has two parts as shown in the figure
8/3/2019 Assign Sem2 45
11/23
Amit KulshresthaRoll No: 571014385
Explicit cost can be considered as the given rate of interest. Thefirm is assumed to borrow irrespective of the degree of leverage.This can result to a conclusion that the increasing proportion of debtdoes not affect the financial risk of lenders and they do not chargehigher interest.Implicit cost is nothing but increase in Ke attributable to Kd. Thus the
advantage of use of debt is completely neutralised by the implicitcost resulting in Ke and Kd being the same.Graphical representation of the debts is shown in figure

Calculate the Weighted average cost ofcapital.
A.3 Step 1 is to determine the cost of each component:Ke = (D1/P0) + g

=0.185365854
=18.53%
Kr = Ke i.e. 26.11%
Kd = (I(1-T) + ((F-P)/n)/(F+P)/2)
= (12(1-0.3) + ((110-100)/5)/(110+100)/2)

We = 2/10 = 0.2
Wp= 1.5/10= 0.15
Wr= 2/10=0.2
Wd = 4/10 = 0.4
Wt = 0.5/10 = 0.05
Step 3
WACC = We*Ke + Wp * Kp + Wr * Kr + Wd * Kd + Wt * Kt= 0.2*0.2611 + 0.15*0.1854 + 0.2*0.2611+ 0.4* 0.099

b) Shareholders wealth maximisation: Suppose a stock
holder buys a stock at INR10 and in ten years time the market price
of stock shoots up to INR55.This is called maximizing shareholders
capital. Maximizing Shareholder Wealth refers to the process by
which executives in a publically-owned company, usually, (but also
to private companies with shareholders), undertake investing in
new projects, maximizing profits from existing products and
services, controlling costs, and adding "value" to the company
through the process, which hopefully gets reflected in the price of
the stock, but always in the increase in Net Asset Value and Equity
Per Share. Sometimes simply selling the company for a premium
over the existing price or Asset Value results in Maximizing
Shareholder Wealth.
c) Capital rationing: What Does Capital Rationing Mean?
The act of placing restrictions on the amount of new investments or
projects undertaken by a company. This is accomplished by
imposing a higher cost of capital for investment consideration or by
setting a ceiling on the specific sections of the budget.
Companies may want to implement capital rationing in situations
where past returns of investment were lower than expected. For
example, suppose ABC Corp. has a cost of capital of 10% but that
the company has undertaken too many projects, many of which are
incomplete. This causes the company's actual return on investment
to drop well below the 10% level. As a result, management decides
to place a cap on the number of new projects by raising the cost of
capital for these new projects to 15%. Starting fewer new projects
would give the company more time and resources to
complete existing projects.

level of inventory that minimizes total inventory holding costs and
ordering costs. It is one of the oldest classical production scheduling
models.
EOQ applies only when demand for a product is constant over the
year and each new order is delivered in full when inventory reaches
zero. There is a fixed cost for each order placed, regardless of the
number of units ordered. There is also a cost for each unit held in
storage, sometimes expressed as a percentage of the purchase cost
of the item.
We want to determine the optimal number of units to order so that
we minimize the total cost associated with the purchase, delivery
and storage of the product.
The required parameters to the solution are the total demand for
the year, the purchase cost for each item, the fixed cost to place
the order and the storage cost for each item per year. Note that the
number of times an order is placed will also affect the total cost,
though this number can be determined from the other parameters.
Underlying assumptions
1. The ordering cost is constant.
2. The rate of demand is constant
3. The lead time is fixed
4. The purchase price of the item is constant i.e. no discount isavailable
5. The replenishment is made instantaneously, the whole batchis delivered at once.

A.6: a) Advantages of ordering Economic order quantity of
inventory:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) refers to the optimal order size thatwill result in the lowest ordering and carrying costs for an item ofinventory based on its expected usage.

EOQ model answers the following key quantum of inventorymanagement. What should be the quantity ordered for each replenishment
of stock?
How many orders are to be placed in a year to ensureeffective inventory management?
EOQ is defined as the order quantity that minimises the total cost
associated with inventory management.
The advantage of the EOQ formula is that it provides a baseline for
getting the best deal. It helps you purchase what you're going to
use and keeps you from over purchasing to get 'deals' from
vendors.

The disadvantages are very obvious if you've got a high periodicity
or seasonality to your consumption, or your usage is very minimal.
EOQ should only be applied to higher volume items that are worthinventorying; it's much safer to use VMI (Vendor Managed
Inventory) for items like bolts and screws that have a high volume
and aren't worth inventorying. For instance, I would never use EOQ
to order screws or bolts unless they were particularly expensive and
individually inventoried. I wouldn't use EOQ to order memory chips
for a retail computer store, because demand can vary greatly and
the risk that they'll become obsolete is high. However, I would use
EOQ to order steel L-brackets for an industrial production facility
where production is consistent and/or forecast.
b) The Dividend Discount Model is a way of valuing a company
based on the theory that a stock is worth the discounted sum of all
of its future dividend payments. In other words, it is used to
evaluate stocks based on the net present value of the future
dividends.
Dividend discount model is a tool that produces a number based on
the data provided. The equation can be written as
where P0 is the current stock price, D1 is the expected dividend, ris
the required rate of return, and g is the expected growth rate in
perpetuity.
This equation is also used to estimate cost of capital by solving for r
From the first equation, one might notice that in the long run, the
growth rate cannot exceed the cost of equity; r g cannot be

negative, i.e., r> g. In the short run if g > r, then usually a two
stage DDM is used:
Therefore,
where g denotes the short-run expected growth rate, denotes the
long-run growth rate, and N is the period (number of years), over
which the short-run growth rate is applied.
