L
Explanation: When the market price of a share is more than its intrinsic value, it is called an

E
overvalued share.

3. As per the capital asset pricing model:
a. Ke = Rf + βe * Rm

P
b. Ke = Rf – βe * (Rm – Rf)

N
c. Ke = Rf + βe * (Rm – Rf)
d. Ke = Rf + βe * (Rm+ Rf)
Explanation: Refer to the section “Cost of Equity (Ke) – CAPM” of session 13
4. Discounted Cash flow-based valuation includes all except:
a. Dividend discount model
b. Free cash flow to the firm

b. Multi-period
c. Very much time consuming
d. Rigorous
Explanation: DCF valuation technique is more time consuming than relative valuation
techniques.
6. As per CAPM (capital asset price model), find the cost of equity (Ke) from the given
inputs: Rf (risk-free rate of return) =5%, Rm (market rate of return) = 12%, βe (beta of
the stock) = 2
a. 14%
b. 15%
c. 19%
d. 21%

Explanation: 5%+2*(12%-5%) = 19%

7. Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) can be calculated as:


a. NOPAT = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) x (1 + Tax rate)
b. NOPAT = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) x (Tax rate)
c. NOPAT = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) x interest rate
d. NOPAT = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) x (1 – Tax rate)

8. The capital structure of SBS ltd. includes equity of 8,000 shares @ Rs 10 and long-
term debt of Rs.1,20,000. If the cost of equity is 20%, and the cost of long-term debt

T
10%, calculate the WACC of the company:

P
a. 13%
b. 14%

N
c. 15%
d. 16%
Explanation: WACC = Kd*Wd + Ke*We = 10%*(Rs.1,20,000/ (Rs.1,20,000+8,000*Rs.10))
+ 20%*(Rs.80,000/ (Rs.80,000+Rs.1,20,000)) = 6%+ 8%= 14%

9. The capital structure of SKS ltd. includes equity of 8000 shares @ Rs 10 and long-
term debt of Rs. 1,20,000 and preference capital of 100,000. If the cost of equity is
20%, and the cost of long-term debt 10%, cost of preference share is 15%. calculate
the WACC of the company:
a. 15.33%
b. 16.33%
c. 14.33%
d. 18.33%

Explanation: WACC = Kd*Wd + Ke*We + Kp*Wp = 10%*(120,000/


(120,000+8,000*10+100000)) + 20%*(80,000/ (8,000*10 +120,000+100000)) +
15%*(100,000/ (8,000*10 +120,000+100000)) = 4%+5.33%+5%= 14.33%
