Answer any 3 from the remaining. Time Allowed-2.5 hours Maximum Marks- 80 Q 1 Zaz plc. a UK company is in the process of negotiating an order amounting to Є2.8 million with a large German retailer on 6 months credit. If successful, this will be the first time that Zaz shall export goods to highly competitive German market. Zaz is considering following 3 alternatives for managing the transaction risk before the order is finalized: i. Mr. Peter, the marketing head, has suggested that in order to remove transaction risk completely, Zaz should invoice the German firm in Sterling using the current spot rate. ii. iii. Mr. Wilson, CEO, is doubtful about Mr. Peter s proposal and suggested an alternative of invoicing the German firm in Є and using forward exchange contract to hedge the transaction risk. Ms. Karen, CFO is agreed with the proposal of Mr. Wilson to invoice the German firm in Є, but she is of the opinion that Zaz should use 6-months futures contracts (do not over-hedge) to hedge transaction risk. Following data is available: Spot rate Є 1.1960 Є 1.1970 / 6 months swap points 60 / 55 6 months futures contract currently trading at Є 1.1943 / 6 months futures contract size 62,500 Spot rate and 6 months futures rate Є 1.1873 / You are required to calculate sterling receipts (rounded off up to 4 digits after decimal point) in millions for Zaz plc under each of the above three proposals and suggest the most appropriate proposal.

Downloaded from www.ashishlalaji.net (b) A Company is evaluating three investment projects: Project Investment Present value of Required Future cash flows 1 Rs.200,000 Rs.290,000 2 115,000 185,000 3 270,000 400,000 If projects 1 and 2 are jointly undertaken, there will be no economies; the investments required and present values will simply be the sum of the parts. With projects 1 and 3, economies are possible in investment because one of the machines acquired can be used in both production processes. The total investment required for projects 1 and 3 combined is Rs.440,000. If projects 2 and 3 are undertaken, there are economies to be achieved in marketing and producing the projects but not in investment. The expected present value of future cash flows for projects 2 and 3 is Rs.620,000. If all three projects are undertaken simultaneously, the economies noted will still hold. However, a Rs.125,000 extension on the plant will be necessary, as space is not available for all three projects. Which project or projects should be chosen? (6 Marks) (c) Q 2 Mr. V decides to short sell 1,000 shares of ABC Ltd. when it was selling at an yearly high of Rs.56. His broker requested him to deposit a margin of 45% and commission of Rs.1,550.

At the end of one year, Mr. V buys 1,000 shares of ABC Ltd. at Rs.45 to close out the position and was charged a commission of Rs.1,450. You are required to calculate the return on investment for Mr. V.

One needs to find that amount in pounds, which if sold right now shall result into receipt of EUR 2.8 million. If pound is sold then bank shall buy at bid rate. Hence. GBP receipt shall be 2.8 X.8354 i.e. 2.3391 million 2.8 X.8354 i.e. 2.3391 million (ii) 6 months forward exchange contract should be acquired to sell EUR. Such contract is available at EUR 0.8393 per GBP. Hence, GBP receipt shall be 2.8 X.8393 i.e. 2.3500 million (iii) 6 months futures rate as direct quote is: EUR 0.8373 per GBP Standard size of 1 contract in EUR = 62,500 / 0.8373 i.e. EUR 74,645 No. of contracts required = 2.8 / 0.074645 = 37.51 i.e. 37 contracts as over-hedging is to be avoided. Gain / Loss for futures is determined as under Spot rate after 6 months 0.8422 Contracted futures rate for selling 0.8373 Loss per unit 0.0049 X Contract size (74,645 X 37) (in millions) 2.7619 Total Loss (GBP in millions) 0.0135 Actual sale of EUR 2.8 million shall be done in the spot market after 6 months. Thus, GBP receipt is 2.8 X.8422 i.e. 2.3582 Loss on futures 0.0135 i.e. 2.3447 million (4 Marks) Recommendation: Forward Contract in view of highest GBP receipts after 6 months.

(c) (6 Marks) Margin paid on short selling = 1,000 X 56 i.e. 56,000 X 45% i.e. Rs.25,200 Thus, money blocked due to short selling = 25,200 + Commission 1,550 = Rs.26,750 Due to short selling dividend of Rs.2,500 is foregone. This shall be an opportunity cost. Shares are purchased at the end of the year for Rs.45,000. Again, commission of Rs.1,450 is charged. Thus, profit on short selling is 56,000 45,000 Dividend foregone 2,500 Commissions (1,550 + 1,450) i.e. Rs.5,500. Q 2 Return on investment = 5,500 / 26,750 i.e. 20.56 % (i) Calculation of Return for Individual Groups based on APM: (6 Marks) Small Cap Growth: 4.5 + 0.8 (6.85) + 1.39 (-3.5) + 1.35 (.65) = 5.9925 % Small Cap Value: 4.5 + 0.9 (6.85) +.75 (-3.5) + 1.25 (.65) = 8.8525 % Large Cap Growth: 4.5 + 1.165 (6.85) + 2.75 (-3.5) + 8.65 (.65) = 8.47775 % Large Cap Value: 4.5 + 0.85 (6.85) + 2.05 (-3.5) + 6.75 (.65) = 7.535 % Expected return on market index is 5.9925 (.25) + 8.8525 (.1) + 8.47775 (.5) + 7.535 (.15) = 7.7525 % (ii) Calculation of Return for Individual Groups based on CAPM: Small Cap Growth: 4.5 + 0.8 (6.85) = 9.98 % Small Cap Value: 4.5 + 0.9 (6.85) = 10.665 % Large Cap Growth: 4.5 + 1.165 (6.85) = 12.48025 % Large Cap Value: 4.5 + 0.85 (6.85) = 10.3225 % Expected return on market index is 9.98 (.25) + 10.665 (.1) + 12.48025 (.5) + 10.3225 (.15) = 11.35 % (4 Marks for above) (3 Marks for above) (iii) Proportion to be invested in Small Cap Value and Large Cap Growth: Let proportion to be invested in Small Cap be x..9x + 1.165 (1 x) = 1.9X + 1.165 1.165x = 1.265x =.165 X = 0.6226 8

Downloaded from www.ashishlalaji.net Thus, 62.26 % should be invested in Small Cap Value and 37.74 % in Large Cap Growth to ensure portfolio beta of 1. (3 Marks for above) (b) (i) Estimation of EPS and DPS for DESC: Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 EPS 10 12 14.4 17.28 20.74 24.88 28.61 DPS -- -- -- -- -- -- 11.44 Since the company is growing at 20 % p.a., EPS has been increased each year by 20% for 1 st five years. Growth rate falls to 15% in year-6. Hence, for EPS of 6 th year, 15% has been added to EPS of 5 th year. The 6 th year EPS has been multiplied by the expected D/P ratio of 40%. (3 Marks) Now, growth rate of dividend, g = b.r = 60 % X 15 % = 9 % P 5 = 11.44 / 15 % - 9% = Rs.190.67, P 0 = 190.67 X PVF (15%, 5th).497 = Rs.94.76 (ii) P 1 = 190.67 X PVF (15%, 4th).572 = Rs.109.06, P 2 = 190.67 X PVF (15%, 3rd).658 = Rs.125.46, In other words, share price is rising by 15% (3 Marks) Q 3 (iii) Revised g = 80 % X 15 % = 12%, P 5 = 5.722 / 15 % - 12% = Rs.190.73, In other words, no change in P 0 Let the lease rent to be charged at the beginning of each year be Rs.X.
