(3) QUESTION 3 [25] To answer the following questions ( ) you will need a financial calculator.

An example for your reference is provided below: E.g.) Susan invests R2 500 in a money market account every quarter and will withdraw the lump sum in 5 years time. If the account earns interest at 6% compounding quarterly, how much will her lump sum be in 5 years if she makes her first payment 3 months from now. Answer) PMT= I = 6 / 4 = 1.5% per quarter solve for FV = R N= 5 x 4 = 20 quarters
7 Page 7 of Peter wishes to purchase a motor vehicle from a dealer in Johannesburg for R His bank, ABSA, is prepared to lend him the money on condition that he undertakes to repay the loan monthly in advance over a period of 36 months. If interest is to be charged at 16,5% per annum compounded monthly in advance, what will his monthly instalment be? (5) 3.2 Cecilia decided to extend her house by adding an extra bedroom. The extension will cost her R First National Bank has agreed to give her a loan at a nominal rate of 13,5% per annum compounded monthly in arrears, provided that she is able to put down a deposit of 10% on the cost price of R What will her monthly payments be if the loan is to be paid over a period of 36 months? (5) 3.3 You have a choice of receiving 30 payments of R a year, with the first payment to be received one year from now, or R in cash today. If you could earn an interest rate of 20% per annum, which one would you prefer? (Hint: Compare the PV of the cash flows) (5) 3.4 A person must pay back a debt of R in a lump sum after five years. Suppose that the loan was repaid in semi-annual payments instead, the first due six months from now and the last at loan termination, what would the amount of each instalment be if the interest rate was 14% compounded semiannually? (5) 3.5 You plan to retire in exactly 20 years. Your goal is to create a fund that will allow you to receive R at the end of each year for the 30 years between retirement and death (a psychic told you that you would die exactly 30 years after you retire). You know that you will be able to earn 11% per year during the 30-year retirement period How large a fund will you need when you retire in 20 years in order to provide the 30-year R retirement annuity? (2) How much would you need to provide today as a single amount to the fund as calculated in (a) if you earn only 9% per year during the 20 years preceding retirement? (3) ASSIGNMENT TOTAL: 100
8 Page 8 of 11 Integrative Case 1 - Track Software, Ltd Seven years ago, after 15 years in accounting, Stanley Booker, CA (SA), resigned his position as Manager of Cost Systems for Davis, Cohen and O Brien Accountants and started Track Software, Ltd. In the two years preceding his departure from Davis, Cohen and O Brien, Stanley had spent nights and weekends developing a sophisticated cost-accounting software programme that became Track s initial product offering. As the firm grew, Stanley planned to develop and expand the software product offerings all of which would be related to streamlining the accounting processes of medium- to large-sized manufacturers. Although Track experienced losses during its first two years of operation 2003 and 2004 its profit has increased steadily from 2005 to the present (2009). The firm s profit history, including dividend payments and contributions to retained earnings, is summarized in Table 1. Stanley started the firm with a R1, 000,000 investment his savings of R 500,000 as equity and a R 500,000 long term loan from the bank. He had hoped to maintain his initial 100 percent ownership in the corporation, but after experiencing a R 500,000 loss during the first year of operation (2003), he sold 60 percent of the stock to a group of investors to obtain needed funds. Since then, no other share transactions have taken place. Although he only owns 40 percent of the firm, Stanley actively managers all aspects of its activities; the other shareholders are not active in management of the firm. The firm s share was valued at R45.00 per share in 2008 and at R52.80 per share in Stanley has just prepared the firm s 2009 statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of retained earnings, shown in Tables 2, 3 and 4, along with the 2008 statement of financial position. In addition, he has compiled the 2008 ratio values and industry average ratio values for 2009, which are applicable to both 2008 and 2009 and are summarized in Table 5. He is quite pleased to have achieved record earnings of R480,000 in 2009, but he is concerned about the firm s cash flows. Specifically, he is finding it more and more difficult to pay the firm s bills in a timely manner and generate cash flows to investors both creditors and owners. To gain insight into these cash flow problems, Stanley is planning to determine the firm s 2009 operating cash flow (OCF) and free cash flow (FCF). Table 1 Track Software, Ltd, Profit, dividends and retained earnings, Net profits after taxes Dividends paid Year (1) (2) (3) Contribution to Retained earnings [(1) - (2)] 2003 (R500,000) R 0 (R500,000) 2004 ( 200,000) 0 ( 200,000) , , , , ,000 10, , ,000 30, , ,000 50, ,000
9 Page 9 of 11 Stanley is further frustrated by the firm s inability to afford to hire a software developer to complete development of a cost estimation package that is believed to have blockbuster sales potential. Stanley began development of this package two years ago, but the firm s growing complexity has forced him to devote more of his time to administrative duties, thereby halting the development of this product. Stanley s reluctance to fill this position stems from his concern that the added R800,000 per year in salary and benefits for the position would certainly lower the firm s earnings per share (EPS) over the next couple of years. Although the project s success is in no way guaranteed, Stanley believes that if the money were spent to hire the software developer, the firm s sales and earnings would significantly rise once the 2- to 3-year development, production and marketing process was completed. With all these concerns in mind, Stanley set out to review the various data to develop strategies that would help to ensure a bright future for Track Software. Stanley believed that as part of this process, a thorough ratio analysis of the form s 2009 results would provide important additional insights.
