Q 1: Part B:

a) Return on equity:

Net income = $ 5 million * 35% = $ 1.75 million

Equity = $ 4.5 million * 1/1.45 = $ 3.103 million

Return on equity = Net income * 100 / Value of Equity

1.75 * 100 /3.103 = 56.40%

b) Return on assets:

ROA = Net income * 100 / Total Assets

$ 1.75 *100 / $ 4.5 = 38.89%

c) Earning per share

EPS = Net income / Number of equity shares outstanding

$ 1.75 / 0.05 = $ 35 per share

(Easton, McAnally, Sommers, & Zhang, 2018)

Q 2:

a) Number of Years:

P = A * (1+r)^t

b) Amount of investment (A):

c) Interest rate(r):

d) Effective interest rate:

Effective interest rate = (1 + Interest rate/time)^time - 1

ANZ bank semi-annual compounding benefits = (1 + 0.0485/2)²-1 = 4.91%

Commonwealth bank weekly compounding = (1 + 0.0483/52)⁵²-1 = 4.94%

Benefits in the ANZ bank.

e) Monthly payment:

Monthly payment = Principle * Rate / (1 - (1+r)^-t)

Mortgage loan amount = $ 3 million

Lending rate = 4.83% per year

Monthly annuity = $ 3 million * 0.0483 / (1 – (1 + 0.0483)^-360) = $ 1866

f) Amount for furniture:

PV = Payment * PVF of period

Weekly payment of $ 50

Interest rate applicable = 8.5%

Present value of weekly payment = 50 * 49.82 = $ 2491 i.e. amount for furniture

(Lee, & Shin, 2018)

Q 3:

a) Calculation of AAR and GAR:

As the Geometric return considered the value of time therefore results of GAR should be considered for decision-making (Mehdipour, Vasile, & Belta, 2019).

b) Valuation of expected returns and standard deviation:

Return based on probability = 11.45%

Variance = 2.55%

Standard deviation = (2.55%)^1/2 = 16%

(Bi, Jin, & Meng, 2018)

c) Required rate of return of market using CAPM:

Required rate of return = Rp = Rf + B (Rm-Rf)

0.132 = 0.035 +1.2 (Rm – 0.035)

Rm = 11.6%

Q 4: Part A:

a) Current value of bond:

The formula of value of bond is:

Face value of bond (F) = $ 1000

Interest rate = 10.5%

Interest income © = $ 105

R = 9.7%

Time (t) = 16 years

Current value = (105*(1-((1+0.097)^ -16)/0.097) + (1000 / (1.097)^16)

= $ 1064

b) Value of equity shares:

D0 = $ 6.5

G = 4.5%

Re = 11.5%

Value = D0 (1+g)/Re-g)

= 6.5*(1+0.045) / (0.115-0.045)

= $ 97 per share

c) Value of preference share:

Dividend = 15%

Face value = 100

Rate of return = 12.5%

Value = 15% * 100 / 12.5% = $ 120 per share

(Rustagi, 2021)

Q 4: Part B:

Market value of company:

The sum of securities of company that include bonds, preference shares, and equity shares market value.

Equity shares value = 68000 * $ 35 = $ 2.38 million

Preference share value = 15000 * $ 75 = $ 1.125 million

Bonds value = 850000 * 1196.4/1000= $ 1.017 million

Total value of company = 2.38 + 1.125 + 1.017 = $ 4.522 million

b) Capital structure:

The capital structure refers to total value of securities / total market value of company

Equity shares = 2.38 / 4.522 = 53%

Preference share = 1.125 / 4.522 = 25%

Bonds value = 1.017 / 4.522 = 22%

c) WACC:

(Khan, Qureshi, & Davidsen, 2020)

Q 5:

a) Net present value:

The project of Gold:

The project of Diamond:

Based on thee NPV the project of diamond should be selected by the company.

b) Discounted pay-back period:

As the CV of free cash flow of both project convert in positive after 3 years therefore both project cannot accept by the company (Egbunike, 2017).

Q 6:

a) Dividend-payout:

As per dividend residual policy the dividend is paid by the company after adjustment of capital expenditures from income as per capital structure of the company.

The net income of the company = $ 3.546 million

Less: Capital expenses (1.045 * 0.65) = 0.67925 million

Profit available for distribution = $ 2.86675 million

Dividend pay-out (3.546 / 2.86675) = 81%

b) Ex-dividend price:

The value of shares are affected by the dividend payment. The value before payment of dividend is considered as cum-dividend while after payment of dividend it is known as ex-dividend. The ex-dividend is cum-dividend price less dividend per share after tax.

Dividend per share = $8

Tax rate = 15%

Dividend after tax = $ 8 * 0.85 = $6.8

Cum-dividend price = $ 72

Ex-dividend price = $ 65.2 per share

c) Present value of equity based on dividend:

Value of Equity = Present value of total dividend paid

Dividend paid in current year = $ 8.5 million

Dividend paid in next year (12.5 / 1.12) = $ 11.16 million

Total present value of dividend = $ 19.66 million

Number of share outstanding = 1.5 million

Value per share = $ 13.11 per share

(Lavista, 2018)
