Q#1
EFFECT OF DEBT FINANCING:
Debt financing may have direct effect on shareholder equity as shareholder become nervous
because increase in debts decreases the earning per share and also reduces the price of per share
in the market. It is known by the shareholders that in debt financing the company’s priority
becomes to pay interest expense and stockholders are the last to be paid retribution.

2. Interest on loans are not tax deductible while Taking loans gives doubts of risk to investors.
on the other hand dividends are tax

3. Loans are paid in advance so it is easy to Company have to pay interest without any gap.
utilize it.

Q#2
SECURITY UNDERWRITER:

Every company needs investors and financer to purchase their bonds, stock, securities etc.
security underwriter or investment bankers buys company’s bonds and land money to them to
run their business. They are very important as they raise fund to company when needed.
Q#3
Business risk is the risk connected with running a business. The risk can be higher or lower time
to time, but it will be there as long as you run a business or want to operate and expand.

SYSTEMATIC RISK:

Systematic risk is risk connected with market returns. It is risk to your investment portfolio that
cannot be endorsed to the specific risk of individual investments.

For Example:

Inflation, change in interst rate, recession, currency rate etc.

UNSYSTEMATIC RISK:

Unsystematic risk is company specific or industry specific risk. This is risk attributable or
specific to the individual investment or small group of investments.

For Example:

inancing risk, credit risk, product risk, legal risk, liquidity risk, political risk, operational risk,
etc.
Q#4
DATA:
PV = 40000
r = 11% / 0.11
n = 3 years
m=4

SOLUTION:
FV = PV (1+r/m) ^n*m
FV = 40000(1+0.11/4) ^3*4
FV = 40000(1.0275) ^12
FV = 40000(1.384783775)
FV = 55391

Q#5
DATA:
FV = 1000000
r = 8% / 0.08
n = 10 years
m=4
SOLUTION:
PV = FV (1+r/m) ^-n*m
PV = 1000000(1+0.08/4) ^-10*4
PV = 1000000(1.02) ^-40
PV = 1000000(0.4528904152)
PV = 452890

Q#6
DATA:

P = 25000

n = 4 years

r = 9%/0.09

m=4

SOLUTION

Present value of annuity = P [1-(1+r) ^-n/r]


= 25000[1-(1+0.0225)^-16/0.0225]

= 25000 (13.31263131)

Present value of annuity = Rs. 332816


Q#7
(a)
FV = PV (1+r)^n
116.78 = 100 (1+r)^3
116.78/100 = (1+r) ^ 3
[(1.1678) ^ 1/3] -1 = r
r = 5.31 %

(b)
FV = PV (1+r)^n
262.16 = 200 (1+r)^4
262.16/200 = (1+r) ^ 4
[(1.3108) ^ 1/4] -1 = r
r=7%

(c)
FV = PV (1+r)^n
110.41 = 100 (1+r)^5
110.41/100 = (1+r) ^ 5
[(1.1041) ^ 1/5] -1 = r
r=2%
Q#8
Simple Interest = (P * r *n)/100
= (1000*4*10)/100
Simple interest = 400
A = P+I
= 1000+400
A = 1400
For compound interest:
A = P (1+r/m) ^ nm
A = 1000 (1+0.04/1) ^ 10*1
A = 1480
Since it is a compound amount that will be receive at the end of 10 years to find
total compound interest we have subtract Principle from Compound Amount
Compound Interest = 1480-1000
Compound Interest = 480

Q#9
Q # 10
TRADE-OFF THEORY:

The trade-off theory of capital structure is the idea that a company chooses how much debt
finance and how much equity finance to use by balancing the costs and benefits. The trade-off
theory states that the optimal capital structure is a trade-off between interest tax shields and cost
of financial distress

PECKING ORDER THEORY:

The pecking order theory has emerged as alternative theory to the trade-off theory. Rather than
introducing corporate taxes and financial distress into the MM framework, the key assumption of
the pecking order theory is asymmetric information. Asymmetric information captures that
managers know more than investors and their actions therefore provides a signal to investors
about the prospects of the firm.

Debt financing affects shareholder equity negatively as it increases the company's financial obligations, which can make shareholders nervous. This concern arises because the priority in debt financing is to fulfill interest payments, making stockholders the last to receive retribution. The increased debt can reduce the earnings per share and decrease the stock price in the market, highlighting the financial risk involved for investors .

The present value (PV) of a future sum is calculated using the formula: PV = FV / (1+r/m)^(n*m), where FV is the future value, r is the annual interest rate, and m is the compounding frequency. In the provided scenario, with FV = 1,000,000, r = 8% compounded quarterly over 10 years, PV is determined as 452,890 using the formula: PV = 1,000,000 / (1+0.08/4)^(10*4), leading to a PV of approximately 452,890 .

Systematic risk is associated with broader market factors such as inflation, interest rate changes, recession, and currency rate fluctuations. It affects the whole market or economy and cannot be mitigated by diversifying investments. Unsystematic risk, on the other hand, is specific to an individual company or industry, such as credit risk, product risk, legal risk, and liquidity risk. This type of risk can be managed by diversifying the investment portfolio .

Business risk is inherent in the operation of a company, driven by internal and external factors affecting its performance and strategic decisions. It encompasses factors like operational efficiency and product innovation. Financial risks, on the other hand, relate specifically to the management of financial resources, like interest rate changes and loan management. These risks influence a company’s financial stability and its ability to finance operations and growth efficiently .

Accurate financial forecasting is crucial for effective financial management as it aids in strategic planning and decision-making. It provides insights into future cash flows, capital needs, and potential financial constraints. By predicting financial outcomes, a company can better allocate resources, manage risks, and optimize its capital structure to align with business objectives and market conditions. A failure to accurately forecast can lead to suboptimal decisions and financial distress .

Given a present value (PV) of 40,000, an annual interest rate of 11%, compounded quarterly over 3 years, the future value (FV) can be calculated using the formula: FV = PV (1+r/m)^(n*m). Here, r=0.11, n=3, and m=4. FV = 40,000(1+0.11/4)^(3*4) = 40,000(1.0275)^12 = 40,000(1.384783775) = 55,391 .

The trade-off theory posits that companies balance debt and equity to optimize their capital structure by weighing the tax benefits of debt against the risk of financial distress. Conversely, the pecking order theory, grounded in asymmetric information, suggests that companies prefer internal financing and will opt for debt over equity if external financing is needed, as managers signal their confidence in future prospects through their financing choices .

Security underwriters, or investment bankers, play a crucial role in financial markets by purchasing a company's bonds and providing funds necessary for its operations. They are essential in securing needed capital for companies by raising funds when required, thus facilitating the acquisition of investment can lead to business growth and continuity .

Simple interest is calculated as a flat rate on the principal amount over time and does not change, leading to a linear growth in returns. For instance, with a principal of 1,000 at 4% interest over 10 years, the interest is 400, totaling 1,400. In contrast, compound interest is calculated on the principal as well as the accumulated interest, resulting in exponential growth. Over the same period, using compound interest with the same rate, the total amount is 1,480, demonstrating higher returns due to interest on accumulated rounds of interest .

To find the interest rate (r) when the future value (FV) is known to be 116.78 and the present value (PV) is 100 over 3 years, the formula FV = PV(1+r)^n is used. By solving 116.78 = 100(1+r)^3, the interest rate is calculated as r = [(116.78/100)^(1/3)] - 1 ≈ 5.31%. Similar calculations apply to varied scenarios with different FV and PV inputs .
