ANSWER-1 ANSWER-A Working Notes: (6 marks) (i) Cost of Goods Sold = Sales Gross Profit (28% of Sales) = Rs. 50,00,000 Rs. 14,00,000 = Rs. 36,00,000 (ii) Closing Stock = Cost of Goods Sold / Stock Turnover = Rs. 36,00,000/6 = Rs. 6,00,000 (iii) Fixed Assets = Cost of Goods Sold / Fixed Assets Turnover = Rs. 36,00,000/1.5 = Rs. 24,00,000 (iv) Current Assets : Current Ratio= 1.5 and Liquid Ratio = 1 Stock = 1.5 1 = 0.5 Current Assets = Amount of Stock 1.5/0.5 = Rs. 6,00,000 1.5/ 0.5 = Rs. 18,00,000 (v) Liquid Assets (Debtors and Cash & Cash equivalents) = Current Assets Stock = Rs.18,00,000 Rs. 6,00,000 = Rs.12,00,000 (vi) Debtors = Sales Debtors Collection Period(days) /360 days = Rs.50,00,000 x 45 =Rs.6,25,000 360 (vii) Cash & Cash equivalents = Liquid Assets Debtors = Rs.12,00,000 Rs. 6,25,000 = Rs. 5,75,000 (viii) Net worth = Fixed Assets / 1.2 = Rs. 24,00,000/1.2 = Rs. 20,00,000 (ix) Reserves and Surplus Reserves & Surplus and Share Capital = 0.6 + 1 = 1.6 Reserves and Surplus = Rs. 20,00,000 0.6/1.6 = Rs. 7,50,000 2 P a g e

(x) Share Capital = Net worth Reserves and Surplus = Rs. 20,00,000 Rs. 7,50,000 = Rs.12,50,000 (xi) Current Liabilities = Current Assets / Current Ratio = Rs.18,00,000/1.5 = Rs.12,00,000 (xii) Long- term Debts Capital Gearing Ratio Or, Long-term Debts = Long-term Debts / Equity Shareholders Fund (Net worth) = Rs. 20,00,000 0.5 = Rs.10,00,000 Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2016 (2 marks) Liabilities Amount (Rs.)

ANSWER-B (i) Walter s model is given by (6 marks) P = [D + (E D) (r / K e )] / K e Where, P = Market price per share, E = Earnings per share = `20,00,000 4,00,000 = ` 5 D = Dividend per share = 60% of 5 = ` 3 r = Return earned on investment = 15% K e = Cost of equity capital = 12% :- P = [3 + (5 3) x (0.15 / 0.12)] / 0.12 = [3 + (2) x (0.15 / 0.12)] / 0.12 = Rs.45.83 (ii) According to Walter s model when the return on investment is more than the cost of equity capital, the price per share increases as the dividend pay-out ratio decreases. Hence, the optimum dividend pay-out ratio in this case is Nil. So, at a payout ratio of zero, the market value of the company s share will be:- P = [0 + (5 0) x (0.15 / 0.12)] / 0.12 = Rs. 52.08 (2 marks) (iii) The share price is increased by [(52.08 45.83) / 45.83] x 100 = 13.64% increased due to non payment of dividend which is higher than Investors expectations. ( 2 marks) ANSWER-2 ANSWER-A (i) (a) Calculation of Cost of Capital for each source of capital: Cost of Equity share capital: K e = D0 1+g 25% x Rs.100 1+0.05 +g= +0.05 Market Price per share P Rs.200 0 = Rs.26.25 +0.05=0.18125 or 18.125% Rs.200 (b) Cost of Preference share capital (K p ) = 9% (c) Cost of Debentures (K d ) = r (1 t) = 11% (1 0.3) = 7.7%. (d) Cost of Retained Earnings: K s = K e (1 t p ) = 18.125 (1 0.2) = 14.5%. (4*1 = 4 MARKS) 4 P a g e
