RATIO ANALYSIS
Solution 1:
(i) Calculation of Shareholders’ Fund:
𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 & 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑙𝑢𝑠
𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠
= 0.5

𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 & 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑙𝑢𝑠


𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 + 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 & 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑙𝑢𝑠
= 0.5

𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 & 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑙𝑢𝑠


10,00,000+ 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 & 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑙𝑢𝑠
= 0.5
Reserve & Surplus = 5,00,000 + 0.5 Reserve & Surplus
0.5 Reserve & Surplus = 5,00,000
Reserve & Surplus = 10,00,000
Shareholders’ funds = 10,00,000 +10,00,000
Shareholders’ funds = ₹20,00,000

(ii) Calculation of Value of Stock:


𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠
= 1.5
Sales = 1.5 × 20,00,000
Sales = 30,00,000
Gross Profit = 30,00,000 × 20% = 6,00,000
Cost of Goods Sold = 30,00,000 – 6,00,000
= ₹24,00,000
Stock velocity = 2 months
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑑
× 12 = 2
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘

(iv) Calculation of Current Liabilities:


Net Working Capital Turnover ratio = 2.5
𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠−𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
= 2.5
30,00,000
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠−𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
= 2.5
Current Assets – Current Liabilities = 12,00,000.................. (1)
Current Ratio = 2.5
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
= 2.5
Current Assets = 2.5 Current Liabilities.............................. (2)
From (1) & (2),
2.5 Current Liabilities – Current Liabilities = 12,00,000
1.5 Current Liabilities = 12,00,000
Current Liabilities = ₹8,00,000

(v) Calculation of Cash Balance:

Solution 2:
(a) Computation of Net Profit Margin
Debt = (10,00,000 x 50%) = ₹ 5,00,000
10
Interest cost = 5,00,000 x ( 100 )= ₹ 50,000
Direct cost = 50,000 x 10 = ₹ 5,00,000
Sales = 5,00,000 x 150% = ₹ 7,50,000

(₹)
Gross profit = 7,50,000 – 5,00,000 = 2,50,000
Less: Operating expenses = 1,00,000
EBIT = 1,50,000
Less: Interest = 50,000
EBT = 1,00,000
Less: Tax @ 30% = 30,000
PAT = 70,000
70,000
Net profit margin = ( 7,50,000 ) × 100= 9.33%

(ii) Net Operating Profit margin


𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇
Net operating profit margin = ( 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 ) × 100
1,50,000
=( 7,50,000 ) × 100 = 20%
(iii) Return on Assets

Return on Assets =[ (𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠)
× 100]
(1,20,000)
=[ (10,00,000)
× 100] = 12%
(OR)
𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇
Return on Assets = 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠

(OR)

1,50,000(1−03)
=[ 10,00,000
× 100] = 10.5%

(iv) Return on owner’s equity


𝑃𝐴𝑇
Return = [ 𝑂𝑤𝑛𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑦 ] × 100
70,000
= [ 5,00,000 ] × 100 =14%

Or, 100
= 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
12,00,00,000
Or, Sales = 25
= ₹48,00,000

Cost of Goods Sold = Sales – Gross Profit


= ₹ 48,00,000 - ₹ 12,00,000 = ₹ 36,00,000
(ii) Determination of Sundry Debtors:

FM Challenger Series Solutions

Debtors’ velocity is 3 months or Debtors’ collection period is 3 months,


12 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠
So, Debtors’ turnover ratio = 3 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠
=4

𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
Debtors’ turnover ratio = 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒

₹48,00,000
= 𝐵𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 + 𝑆𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑟𝑦 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠
=4

Or, Sundry Debtors + Bills receivable = ₹ 12,00,000

Sundry Debtors = ₹ 12,00,000 – ₹ 75,000 = ₹ 11,25,000

(ii) Determination of Closing Stock


𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑑 ₹36,00,000
Stock Turnover Ratio = 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘
= 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘
= 1.5
So, Average Stock = ₹ 24,00,000
𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘 + 𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘
Now Average Stock = 2
𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘 + (𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘 + ₹30,000)
Or 2
= ₹ 24,00,000
Or 2 Opening Stock + ₹ 30,000= ₹48,00,000
Or 2 Opening Stock = ₹47,70,000
Or, Opening Stock = ₹ 23,85,000
So, Closing Stock = ₹ 23,85,000 + ₹ 30,000 = ₹ 24,15,000

(iii) Determination of Sundry Creditors:


Creditors’ velocity of 2 months or credit payment period is 2 months.
12 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠
So, Creditors’ turnover ratio = 2 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠
=6

𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑃𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠*
Creditors turnover ratio = 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠

₹36,30,000
= 𝑆𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑟𝑦 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 + 𝐵𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠
=6

So, Sundry Creditors + Bills Payable = ₹ 6,05,000


Or, Sundry Creditors + ₹ 30,000 = ₹ 6,05,000

Or, Sundry Creditors = ₹ 5,75,000

(iv) Determination of Fixed Assets


𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑑
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠
=4

₹36,00,000
Or, 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠

Ratios Comment
Liquidity Current ratio has improved from last year and matching
the industry average.
Quick ratio also improved than last year and above the
industry average.
The reduced inventory levels (evidenced by higher
inventory turnover ratio) have led to better quick ratio in
FY 2022 compared to FY 2021.
Further the decrease in current liabilities is greater than
the collective decrease in inventory and debtors as the
current ratio have increase from FY2021 to FY 2022.
Operating Profits Operating Income-ROI reduced from last year, but
Operating Profit Margin has been maintained. This may
happen due to decrease in operating cost. However,
both the ratios are still higher than the industry
average.
Financing The company has reduced its debt capital by 1% and
saved earnings for equity shareholders. It also signifies
that dependency on debt compared to other industry
players (60%) is low.
Return to the shareholders Prabhu’s ROE is 26 per cent in 2021 and 28 per cent in
2022 compared to an industry average of 18 per cent.
The ROE is stable and improved over the last year.

Given that,
RF = 10%
Rm – Rf = 18%
Β = 1.25
D0 = 12.76
D-5 = 10
Flotation Cost = 5%
Using CAPM,
Ke = Rf + β (Rm – Rf)
= 10%+1.25 (18%)
= 32.50%

= ₹ 15 ÷ 0.16 = ₹ 93.75
Sale proceeds from debentures = ₹ 93.75 – ₹ 2 (i.e., floatation cost) = ₹91.75
Market value (P0) of debentures can also be found out using the present value method:
P0 = Annual Interest × PVIFA (16%, 11 years) + Redemption value × PVIF (16%, 11 years)
P0 = ₹ 15 × 5.0287 + ₹ 100 × 0.1954

P0 = ₹ 75.4305 + ₹ 19.54 = ₹ 94.9705

EPS (PAT/ No. of equity shares) 1.168 or ₹1.17

(ii) ROCE is 15.46% and Interest on debt is 10%. Hence, it has a favourable financial leverage.

(iii) Calculation of Operating, Financial and Combined leverages:

𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 ₹30,10,000
Operating Leverage = 𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇
= ₹20,10,000 = 1.497 (approx)
𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇 ₹20,10,000
Financial Leverage = 𝐸𝐵𝑇 = ₹14,60,000 = 1.377 (approx.)
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 ₹30,10,000
Combined Leverage = 𝐸𝐵𝑇
= ₹14,60,000 = 2.062 (approx.)
Or, = Operating Leverage × Financial Leverage = 1.497 × 1.377 = 2.06 (approx.)

(iv) Operating leverage is 1.497. So, if sales are increased by 10%.


EBIT will be increased by 1.497 × 10% i.e. 14.97% (approx.)
(v) Since the combined Leverage is 2.062, sales have to drop by 100/2.062 i.e. 48.50% to bring EBT
to Zero.
Accordingly, New Sales = ₹86,00,000 × (1 - 0.4850)
= ₹86,00,000 × 0.515
= ₹44,29,000 (approx.)
Hence, at ₹44,29,000 sales level, EBT of the firm will be equal to Zero.

Of all the companies, A has the highest degree of Operating Leverage, B has highest degree of Financial
Leverage and C is equally leveraged on both Operating and Financial fronts. If we consider combined leverage
companies will have the leverages of 12, 15 and 6.25 (by multiplying both operating and financial leverages).
This means A is undertaking a higher degree of operating risk while B is undertaking a higher degree of
financial risk.

= - 10,00,000 + 9,22,803.2 – 1,43,270+ 43,122.4
NPV = - 1,77,344.4
Since Net Present Value is negative; therefore, this option is not to be considered.
If Supplier gives a discount of ₹ 90,000, then:
NPV (in ₹) = + 90,000 - 1,77,344.4 = -87,344.4
In this case, Net Present Value is still negative; therefore, this option may not be advisable
Option II: Purchase Machinery and Replace Part at the end of Year 2.
NPV (in ₹)= - 10,00,000 + 2,56,000 x (0.8928+0.7972+0.7118+0.6355+0.5674) – (3,00,000 x

= - 10,00,000 + 9,22,803.2 – 2,13,540+1,63,125.2
NPV = - 1,27,611.6
Net Present Value is negative, the machinery should not be purchased.
If the Supplier gives a discount of ₹ 90,000, then:
NPV (in ₹) = 90,000 - 1,27,611.6 = - 37,611.6

In this case, Net Present Value is still negative; therefore, this option may not be advisable.
Decision: The Machinery should not be purchased as it will earn a negative NPV in both options of
repair and replacement.

RISK ANALYSIS IN CAPITAL BUDGETING


Solution 1:
Computation of Net Present Value (NPV):
Year PVF @ 10% Original Cash Flows (₹) PV (₹) PV (₹)
0 1 (1,00,000) (1,00,000)
1 0.909 30,000 27,270

4 0.683 60,000 40,980 1,38,840
NPV 38,840

Determination of the most Sensitive factor:


(i) Sensitivity Analysis w.r.t. Initial Project cost (such that NPV becomes zero):
NPV of the project would be zero when the initial project cost is increased by ₹38,840.
₹38,840
Percentage change in Initial project cost = 1,00,000 × 100= 38.84%
(ii) Sensitivity Analysis w.r.t. Annual Cash inflows (such that NPV becomes zero):
NPV of the project would be zero when the Annual cash inflows is decreased by
₹38,840.
₹38,840
Percentage change in the Annual cash inflows = ₹1,38,840 × 100 = 27.97%
Conclusion: Annual cash inflows factor is the most sensitive as only a change beyond 27.97% in savings
makes the project unacceptable.

DIVIDEND DECISIONS
Solution 1:
(a)
₹ in lakhs
Net Profit 75
Less: Preference dividend 30
Earning for equity shareholders 45
Earning per share = 45/7.5 = ₹ 6.00
Let, the dividend per share be D to get share price of ₹ 42
𝑟
𝐷+ (𝐸−𝐷)
P= 𝐾𝑒
𝐾𝑒
0.20
𝐷+ 0.16 (6−𝐷)
₹42= 0.16

0.16 𝐷+ 1.2 − 0.20𝐷


6.72 = 0.16

0.04D = 1.2 – 1.0752


D = 3.12
𝐷𝑃𝑆 3.12
D/P ratio = 𝐸𝑃𝑆 ×100 = 6
×100 = 52%

So, the required dividend payout ratio will be = 52%

(b) Since r > Ke, the optimum dividend pay-out ratio would ‘Zero’ (i.e. D = 0),

Accordingly, value of a share:


𝑟
𝐷+ 𝐾𝑒 (𝐸−𝐷)
P= 𝐾𝑒
0.20
0+ 0.16 (6−0)
P = 0.16
= ₹ 46.875

(c) The optimality of the above pay-out ratio can be proved by using 25%, 50%, 75% and
100% as pay- out ratio:
At 25% pay-out ratio
0.20
1.5+ (6−1.5)
P= 0.16
0.16
= ₹44. 531
At 50% pay-out ratio
0.20
3+ (6−3)
P= 0.16
0.16
= ₹42. 188
At 75% pay-out ratio
0.20
4.5+ (6−4.5)
P= 0.16
0.16
= ₹39. 844
At 100% pay-out ratio
0.20
6+ (6−6)
P= 0.16
0.16
= ₹ 37.50
From the above it can be seen that price of share is maximum when dividend pay-out
ratio is ‘zero’ as determined in (b) above.

Price per share according to Gordon’s Model is calculated as follows:
Particulars Amount in ₹
Net Profit 78 lakhs
Less:Preference dividend(120 lakhs@15%) 18 lakhs
Earnings for equity shareholders 60 lakhs
Earnings Per Share 60 lakhs/6 lakhs = ₹
10.00
Price per share according to Gordon’s Model is calculated as follows:
𝐸1(1−𝑏)
P0 = 𝐾𝑒 − 𝑏𝑟
Here, E1 = 10, Ke = 16%
(i) When dividend pay-out is 30%
10×0.30 3
Po = 0.16−(0.70×0.2) = 0.16−0.14 = ₹150
(ii) When dividend pay-out is 50%
10×0.5 5
P0 = 0.16−(0.5×0.2) = 0.16−0.10 = ₹83.33
(iii) When dividend pay-out is 100%
10×1 10
P0 = 0.16−(0×0.2) = 0.16 =₹ 62.5

Solution 5:
(i) As per Gordon’s Model, Price per share is computed using the formula:
𝐸1(1−𝑏)
P0 = 𝐾𝑒−𝑏𝑟
Where,
P0 = Price per share
E1 = Earnings per share
b = Retention ratio; (1 - b = Pay-out ratio)
Ke = Cost of capital r = IRR
br = Growth rate (g)
Applying the above formula, price per share
30×0.3* 9
P0 = 0.15−0.70×0.2 = 0.01 = ₹ 900

1. There is shortage of cash in May of ₹ 1,25,000 which will be met by borrowings in May.
2. Payment to Creditors
Purchases = Cost of goods sold - Wages and salaries
Purchases for April = (75% of 15,00,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 10,25,000
(Note: Since gross margin is 25% of sales, cost of manufacture i.e. materials plus wages and salaries should
be 75% of sales)
Hence, Purchases = Cost of manufacture minus wages and salaries of ₹ 1,00,000) The creditors are paid in the
first month following purchases.
Therefore, payment in May is ₹ 10,25,000
The same procedure will be followed for other months.
April (75% of 15,00,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 10,25,000
May (75% of 17,50,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 12,12,500
June (75% of 17,50,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 12,12,500
July (75% of 20,00,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 14,00,000
August (75% of 20,00,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 14,00,000
September (75% of 22,50,000) - ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 15,87,500
Minimum Stock ₹ 5,00,000
Total Purchases ₹ 83,37,500

C Net Benefits (A – B) 10,51,250 10,92,187 9,87,500
Recommendation: The Proposed Policy 1 should be adopted since the net benefits under this policy are higher
as compared to other policies.
Working Note:
Calculation of Opportunity Cost of Average Investments
Opportunity Cost = Total Cost × Collection period/12 × Rate of Return/100
Present Policy = ₹ 41,25,000 × 2.4/12 × 15% = ₹1,23,750
Proposed Policy 1 = ₹ 48,75,000× 3/12 × 15% = ₹ 1,82,813
Proposed Policy 2 = ₹ 52,50,000× 4/12 × 15% = ₹ 2,62,500

Solution 12:
i) Bank Loan: As the minimum average balance more than ₹ 50,000 need not be kept if loan is not
undertaken, the incremental money made available by bank through bank loan is
₹ 2,30,00,000- (15% x ₹ 2,30,00,000-₹ 50,000) = ₹ 1,96,00,000. Real annual cost of bank loan = (₹ 2.3
crores x 12%) / ₹ 1.96 crores = 14.08%.
(ii) Trade Credit: The real annual cost of trade credit will be 2/98 x 360/60 x 100 = 12.24%.

(iii) Factoring:
Commission charges per year = 2% x 2.5 crores x 12 = ₹ 60,00,000 Savings per year =
(1,75,000+2,25,000) x 12 = ₹ 48,00,000
Net Factoring cost per year = ₹ 60,00,000 – ₹ 48,00,000 = ₹12,00,000 Annual cost of
1,87,50,000×14%+ 12,00,000
borrowing ₹ 2.5 crores x 75% i.e.₹1,87,50,000 will be 1,87,50,000
= 20.4%

Conclusion: The company should select trade credit as a preferred mode of financing the working capital
requirement as it results in lowest cost on an annual basis.
