Question 1 A

First calculate YTM on bond. Variables are:

PV- students need to identify that 86% par is the current price:
860

FV-$1,000

PMT - students need to calculate this and also factor in that it is semi-annual payments
60

N - this will be 40 since it is a semi-annual coupon bond

YTM is then calculated as:


7.0571% which needs to be doubled to give an annual yield of 14.1142%

This then needs to be taxed:


8.46852 is the after tax cost of debt

Question 1 B
Cost of equity using CAPM:

ke=Rf +B(Rm-Rf)

In addition to knowing the formula students must realize that the T-bill rate is the risk free rate given
and the risk premium is
10%+1.4(5) 17%

Question 1 C

This is where students have to identify the need to use market weights instead of book weights and
know how to calculate the market weights

MV of equity 140000 61.9%


MV of debt 86000 38.1%
Total value of firm 226000 100%

Students now need to know the formula for finding WACC and also remember that the after-tax
cost of debt should be used here
WACC = (61.9%*17)+(38.1%*8.4685) 13.75376425 %

Question 1 D

0 1-9 10
Initial Investment -600000
Investment in working capital -150,000
Net income (3,000,000*.3) 900,000 900,000
Depreciation (600,000/10) 60,000 60,000
Recovery of working capital 150,000
Net cash flows -750000 960000 1110000

NPV $4,348,072.60

Question 1 E
The interest on debt is tax deductible and this creates a tax shield on earnings, hence reducing the effective cost of debt (2 marks)
The dividends on equity are however not deductible for tax purposes and therefore gives no additional benefit to the company's WACC (1 mark)

Question 1 E
The firm's WACC should only be used if the project being undretaken is an overall company's project.
If the project is divisional it is howver more appropriate to use the divisional WACC because the
cashflows under consideration should have similar characteristics to the division's current cashflows.

Question 1 G
If a firm does not pay dividends, it will retain the earnings in the business. Shareholders will therefore require that the
earnings which have been retained earn atleast their required rate of return, otherwise the company could pay these
earnings over to the shareholders as dividends.
Question 1

Students must identify that the rate to be used in finding the annuity is implied in the returns which will
equate the upfront lump sum to the full lottery winnings and is a point which is often missed.

Rate implied on upfront lump sum payment:

PV 10.5 million
FV 25 million
N 40
rate implied 2.1924%

Applying this rate to the annuity payments (Note the future value to be attained will still be $10 million:

The annuity is $396,910.65

Question 2

PV 200000
PMT -1000
I/Y 0.58 (7/12)
N 300 (12*25)
FV 335,011.95 Balloon payment

b) You can negotiate to pay the balloon payment upfront if possible. The balloon payment today would be $58,513 and may be more attainable
OR
Yoou can negotiate to increase the duration of the term so that you can avoid having to raise the balloon payment

Question 3
Answer: n= (36*12) 432; PMT= $352.89-123.87=229.02; I/Y=11/12; CPT FV=$1,262,178.909
Therefore: $1,262,178.91 - $131,000 = $1,131,178.91

Question 4
Bank loan
Monthly income = 48,000 / 12 = 4,000
Maximum payment = .30(4,000) = 1,200
30*12 = 360 N
7/12 I/Y
1,200 PMT
CPT PV = 180,369.08
Total Price
Closing costs = .04(180,369.08) =7,214.76
Down payment = 50,000 – 7,214.76 = 42,785.24
Total Price = 180,369+42,785.24 = 223,154.24
