QUESTION NO.6 Following is the sales information in respect of Bright Ltd:
Annual Sales (90 % on credit) `7,50,00,000
Credit period 45 days
Average Collection period 70 days
Bad debts 0.75%
Credit administration cost (out of which 2/5th is avoidable) Rs 18,60,000
A factor firm has offered to manage the company’s debtors on a non- recourse basis at a service charge of 2%.
Factor agrees to grant advance against debtors at in interest rate of 14% after withholding 20% as reserve.
Payment period guaranteed by factor is 45 days. The cost of capital of the company is 12.5%. One time redundancy
payment of `50,000 is required to be made to factor.
Calculate the effective cost of factoring to the company. (Assume 360 days in a year)
Solution:
Evaluation of Factoring Proposal
Particulars ` `
A. Savings due to factoring
Bad Debts saved 0.75% x 7.5 croresx 90% `5,06,250
Administration cost saved 18.6 lakhs x 2/5 `7,44,000
Interest saved due to reduction
in average collection period 7.5 crores x 90% x `5,85,937.5
(70-45)/ 360 x 12.5%
Total `18,36,187.5
B. Costs of factoring:
Service charge 7.5 crores x 90% x 2% `13,50,000
Interest cost `1,15,171.875x 360/45 `9,21,375
Redundancy Payment `50,000
Total `23.21,375
C. Net Annual cost to the Firm: (A-B) `4,85,187.5
Rate of effective cost of factoring `4,85,187.5/`64,66,078.125 x 100 7.504%
Advice: Since the rate of effective cost of factoring is less than the existing cost of capital, therefore, the proposal
is acceptable.
Working Note: Calculation of Net Amount of Advance Available
Credit Sales = `7.5 crores x 90% = `6,75,00,000
Average level of receivables =`6.75 crores x 45/360 = `84,37,500
Service charge = 2% of `84,37,500 `1,68,750
Reserve = 20% of `84,37,500 `16,87,500
Total (i) `18,56,250
Thus, the amount available for advance is
Average level of receivables `84,37,500
Less: Total (i) from above `18,56,250
`65,81,250
Less: Interest @ 14% p.a. for 45 days `1,15,171.875
Net Amount of Advance available. ` 64,66,078.125
Note: Alternatively, if redundancy cost is taken as irrelevant for decision making, then Net Annual cost to the
Firm will be `4,35,187.5 and Rate of effective cost of factoring will be ` 4,35,187.5/` 64,66,078.125 x 100
= 6.730%
If average level of receivables is considered for 70 days then the calculation can be done in following way:
Evaluation of Factoring Proposal
Credit Sales = `7.5 crores X 90% = ` 6,75,00,000
Average level of receivables = `6.75 crores x 70/360 = ` 1,31,25,000
Service charge = 2% of `1,31,25,000 ` 2,62,500

Note 1: Accordingly, interest cost will be `14,33,250 cost of factoring will be `28,33,250. Therefore, Rate of
effective cost of factoring is 9.913%
Note 2: Alternatively, if redundancy cost is taken as irrelevant for decision making, then Net Annual cost to the
Firm will be ` 9,47,062.5 and Rate of effective cost of factoring will be `9,47,062.5 / `1,00,58,343.75 x 100
= 9.416%.
Advice: Since the rate of effective cost of factoring is less than the existing cost of capital, therefore, the proposal
is acceptable.
QUESTION NO.5 Following data is available in respect of Levered and Unlevered companies having same business
risk: Capital employed =` 2,00,000, EBIT =` 25,000 and Ke = 12.5%
Sources Levered Company (f) Unlevered Company (`)
Debt (@8%) 75,000 Nil
Equity 1,25,000 2,00,000
An investor is holding 12% shares in levered company. Calculate the increase in annual earnings of investor if he
switches over his holding from Levered to Unlevered company.
Solution:
1.Valuation of firms
Particulars Levered Firm (`) Unlevered Firm (`)
EBIT 25,000 25,000
Less: Interest on debt (8% × ` 75,000) 6,000 Nil
Earnings available to Equity shareholders 19,000 25,000
Ke 12.5% 12.5%
Value of Equity (S)(Earnings available to Equity 1,52,000 2,00,000
shareholders/ Ke)
Debt (D) 75,000 Nil
Value of Firm (V) = S + D 2,27,000 2,00,000
Value of Levered company is more than that of unlevered company. Therefore, investor will sell his shares in
levered company and buy shares in unlevered company. To maintain the level of risk he will borrow proportionate
amount and invest that amount also in shares of unlevered company.
2.Investment & Borrowings `
Sell shares in Levered company (` 1,52,000 x 12%) 18,240
Borrow money (` 75,000 x 12%) 9,000
Buy shares in Unlevered company 27,240
3.Change in Return `
Income from shares in Unlevered company(`27,240 x 12.5%) 3,405
Less: Interest on loan (`9,000 x 8%) 720
Net Income from unlevered firm 2,685
Less: Income from Levered firm (`18,240 x 12.5%) 2,280
Incremental Income due to arbitrage 405

beverages, and industrial, agricultural and other products. It is one of the largest producers of soaps and detergents
in India. The company has grown organically as well as through acquisitions. Over the years, the company has
built a diverse portfolio of powerful brands, some being household names.
It is planning to acquire one of its competitors named Prestige Limited, which would enhance the growth of ‘KbL’.
The consideration amount will be 1.5X of its average Market Capitalization. Prestige limited has 1,30,000
outstanding equity shares and its shares were traded at an average market price of ` 45 as on the valuation date.
The consideration amount will be paid equally in 5 years where the first installment is to be paid immediately.
Prestige Limited has Ko of 15%
KbL will raise the funds required through debt and equity in the ratio of 30:70. The company requires the cost of
capital estimates for evaluating its acquisitions, investment decisions and the performance of its businesses.
KbL’s share price has grown from ‘ 150 to ‘ 301 in the last 5 years and it will continue to grow at the same rate. KbL
pays dividends regularly. The company has recently paid a dividend of ‘ 8. For the calculation of equity, an average
of 52 weeks high market price in the last 5 years is to be considered, which is as follows:
Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr 4 Yr 5
MPS 195 MPS 210 MPS 252 MPS 325 MPS 280
Ke calculated as per growth model holds a weight of 0.6.
The company also wishes to calculate the equity’s expectation using CAPM which holds a weight of 0.4. The risk-
free rate is assumed as the yield on long-term government bonds that the company regards as about 8%. KbL
regards the market- risk premium to be equal to 11 per cent. Its estimation on the Beta is 0.78.
KbL will issue debentures with FV of ‘ 10,500 which is to be amortised equally over the life of 7 years. The

(ii) If any project is expected to give an after-tax return of 13%, it can be accepted only if the maximum Overall
COC (%) of that project equals 13% or less, as at 13%, project would be at break-even i.e earning 13% from the
project and incurring 13% COC.So, under that scenario, Project I can be taken as its COC is 12.95% whereas
Project II can’t be taken as its COC is 13.79%.
Maximum Value of the Project that can be taken at 13% is approx. (Using IRR technique Interpolation)
At 15 Lakhs Ko = 12.95%; At 26 Lakhs Ko = 13.79%
By interpolation, maximum value of Project at 13% will be 15 Lakhs + {(0.05 x 11)/0.84}= 15.6548 lakhs

CALCULATE the market price per share using -(a)Gordon’s formula (b)Walter’s formula
Solution:
(i)As per Gordon’s Model, Price per share is computed using the formula: P0 = E1 (1 - b)
ke - bxr
Where, P0 = Price per share; E1 = Earnings per share Payout ratio = 45 / 180 = 25%;b = Retention ratio; (1 - b =
Pay-out ratio) = 1-0.25 = 0.75 ; Ke = Cost of capital; r = IRR; br = Growth rate (g)
180(1 - 0.75) 45
Applying the above formula, price per share: P0 = = = ‘ 2,250
50
0.17 - 0.75 × 0.2 0.02
(ii)As per Walter’s Model, Price per share is computed using the formula:
0.20
45 + (180 - 45) 45 + 158.82
P= 0.17 Or, P= = ‘ 1,200 (approx..)

6.Total Assets & Current liabilities of the Vitrag Limited are 50 lakhs & 10 lakhs respectively. ROCE is 15%,
measure of business operating risk is at 3.5 & P/V ratio is 70%. Calculate Sales.
(a)21 lakhs (b)30 lakhs (c)37.50 lakhs (d)40 lakhs
Solution:(b)
ROCE = EBIT / Total Capital Employed ;
Total Capital Employed = Total Assets – Current Liabilities= 50 lakhs – 10 lakhs= 40 lakhs
EBIT= 40 lakhs x 15%= 6 lakhs
Now, OL of 3.5 = Contribution / EBIT or Therefore Contribution = 6 Lakhs X 3.5 = 21 lakhs
Sales = Contribution / PV Ratio = 21 lakhs / 0.7 = 30 lakhs

Calculation: Cost of Debt= (Interest Payment/ Market Price of Bond) = (8,000 / 95,000) = 8.42%
8.A company is considering changing its capital structure by increasing its debt ratio from 40% to 55%. What is
the likely impact on the company’s cost of equity, assuming all other factors remain constant?
(a)Cost of equity will be unaffected by debt ratio (b)Cost of equity will remain unchanged
(c)Cost of equity will decrease (d)Cost of equity will increase
Solution:(d) Cost of equity will increase. As the company increases its debt ratio, the financial risk increases,
which typically leads to an increase in the cost of equity as equity investors demand a higher return for the
additional risk.

QUESTION NO.3 Paarath Limited had recently repurchased 20,000 equity shares at a premium of 10% to its
prevailing market price. The book value per share (after repurchasing) is ‘ 193.20.
Other Details of the company are as follows:Earnings of the company (before buyback) = ‘ 18,00,000; Current
MPS is ‘ 270 with a P/E Ratio of 18.CALCULATE the Book Value per share of the company before the re- purchase.
Solution:
(i)No of Eq. Shares(before buyback)=Total Earnings (before buyback)/EPS=18,00,000/(270/18)=1,20,000 shares
(ii)Buyback price = 270 + 10% premium = 297
(iii)No of Eq. shares (after buyback) = 1,20,000 (-) 20,000 = 1,00,000 shares
(iv)Total Book Value of Equity (after buyback) = 1,00,000 X 193.20= 1,93,20,000
Now,Total BV of Eq. (after buyback) = Total BV of Eq.(before buyback) (-)Amt of buyback
1,93,20,000= x (-) (20,000 X 297) ; Therefore x= Total BV (before buyback)= 2,52,60,000

QUESTION NO.4 Sukrut Limited has annual credit sales of ‘ 75,00,000/-. Actual credit terms are 30 days, but its
management of receivables has been poor, and the average collection period is about 60 days. Bad debt is 1 per
cent of total sales.A factor has offered to take over the task of debt administration and credit checking, at an
annual fee of 1.5 per cent of credit sales.Sukrut Limited estimates that it would save ‘ 45,000 per year in
administration costs as a result. Due to the efficiency of the factor, the average collection period would come
back to the original credit offered of 30 days and bad debts would come to 0.5% on recourse basis.
The factor would pay net advance of 80 percent to the company at an annual interest rate of 12 per cent after
withholding a reserve of 10%. Sukrut Limited is currently financing its receivables from an overdraft costing 10
per cent per year and will continue to finance the balance fund needed (which is not financed by factor) through
the overdraft facility.If occurrence of credit sales is throughout the year, COMPUTE whether the factor’s services
should be accepted or rejected. Assume 360 days in a year.
Solution:
Evaluation of Factoring Proposal -
PARTICULARS ‘ ‘
(A) Savings (Benefit) to the firm
Administration Cost 45,000 45,000
Bad Debts Cost (On Recourse basis)
In House – 75 lakhs X 1%
Factoring – 75 lakhs X 0.5% (75lakhs X 0.5%) 37,500
Net Savings in bad debts cost
Cost of Carrying Debtors Cost (WN – 1) 1,06,750
TOTAL 1,89,250
(B) Cost to the Firm:
Factor Commission[Annual credit Sales × % of Commission] 75 lakhs X 1.5% 1,12,500
Interest Cost on Net advances (See WN – 1) 53,100__
TOTAL 1,65,600
(C) Net Benefits to the Firm (A – B) 23,650
Advice: Since the savings to the firm exceed the cost due to factoring, the proposal is acceptable.
WN-1 : Calculation of Savings in Interest Cost of Carrying Debtors
(I)In house Management: Interest Cost = Credit Sales X Avg Collection Period / 360 X Interest (%) p.a = 75,00,000
x 60/360 x 10% = 1,25,000
(II)If Factoring services availed: If factoring services are availed, then Sukrut Limited must raise the funds blocked
in receivables to the extent which is not funded by the factor (i.e amount of factor reserve (+) amount of factor
commission for 30 days (+) 20% of net advances)
Calculation of Net Advances to the firm -
Debtors = 75 lakhs x 30/360 = 6,25,000
(-) Factor Reserve = 10% of above = (62,500)
(-) Factor Commission = 1.5% of Debtors = (9,375)__
Net Advance = 5,53,125
Advance from Factor = 5,53,125 x 80% = 4,42,500 ;
Int cost on Advance from Factor = 4,42,500 x 12% = 53,100
Now, the amount that is not funded by the factor (6,25,000 - 4,42,500) needs to be funded by Sukrut Limited
from overdraft facility at 10%
Therefore, Int cost on Overdraft (Cost of carrying debtors) = 1,82,500 x 10% = 18,250
Net Savings in Interest Cost of Carrying Debtors = 1,25,000 (-) 18,250 = 1,06,750

RATIO ANALYSIS
QUESTION NO. 2 KT Ltd.’s opening stock was `2,50,000 and the closing stock was ` 3,75,000. Sales during the
year were `13,00,000 and the gross profit ratio was 25% on sales. Average accounts payable are `80,000. Creditors
Turnover Ratio =? (a) 13.33 (b) 14.33 (c) 14.44 (d) 13.75
Solution: (d) 13.75
Creditors Turnover Ratio = Purchases / Average Accounts Payable
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock+ Purchases - Closing Stock
Purchases = Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Stock -Opening Stock
= ` 9,75,000 + ` 3,75,000 - ` 2,50,000 = ` 11,00,000
Average Accounts Payable = `80,000
Creditors Turnover Ratio = Purchases/Average Accounts Payable = ` 11,00,000 / ` 80,000 = 13.75
Therefore, the Creditors Turnover Ratio is 13.75.
LEVERAGE
QUESTION NO. 3 A firm has sales of ` 75,00,000, variable cost of ` 42,00,000 and fixed cost of `6,00,000. It has
a debt of ` 45,00,000 at 9% and equity of ` 55,00,000. Does it have favourable financial leverage?
(a) ROI is less than interest on loan funds and hence it has no favourable financial leverage.
(b) ROI is equal to interest on loan funds and hence it has favourable financial leverage.
(c) ROI is greater than interest on loan funds and hence it has favourable financial leverage.
(d) ROI is greater than interest on loan funds and hence it has unfavourable financial leverage.
Solution: (c) ROI is greater than interest on loan funds and hence it has favourable financial leverage.
EBIT = 75,00,000 - 42,00,000 - 6,00,000 = 27,00,000,
ROI = 27,00,000/(45,00,000 + 55,00,000) = 27%,
Rate of Interest lower than Return on investment.Therefore, there is favourable leverage.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
QUESTION NO.3 Company XYZ is unlevered and has a cost of equity of 20 percent and a total market value of `
10,00,00,000. Company ABC is identical to XYZ in all respects except that it uses debt finance in its capital structure
with a market value of ` 4,00,00,000 and a cost of 10 percent. FIND the market value of equity, weighted average
cost of capital and cost of equity of ABC if the tax advantage of debt is 25 percent.
Solution:
Computation of Market Value of Equity of Company ABC
Market value of leveraged company [ VABC ] = ` 10,00,00,000 + ` 4,00,00,000 × 0.25% = ` 11,00,00,000
The Market Value of Equity of Company ABC = ` 11,00,00,000 – ` 4,00,00,000 = ` 7,00,00,000
Weighted Average Cost of Capital of Company ABC
4 ,00,00,000
WACC ABC WACC XYZ[1Bt/VABC ] or 20%[1 - × 0.25] = 18.18%
11,00,00,000
Where, WACC ABC is the weighted average cost of capital of the levered company ABC
WACCXYZ is the weighted average cost of capital of the unlevered company XYZ.
Cost of Equity of company ABC R Eabc = R Exyz + [(1 - t)B/E( R Exyz - RB)]
20%+[(1-.25)4,00,00,000/7,00,00,000(.20-.10)] = 24.28% approx.
Where, R Eabc is the cost of equity in the levered Company ABC. ; R Exyz is the cost of equity in the unlevered

India and the global scenario.The capital structure of MNP Ltd. is as under:
9% Debentures ‘ 2,75,000; 11% Preference shares ‘ 2,25,000; Equity shares (face value: ‘ 10 per share) ‘ 5,00,000
Total capital of the company ‘ 10,00,000
The following are some of the additional information provided by MNP Ltd. relating to the above mentioned
capital structure.(i)‘ 100 per debenture redeemable at par has 2% floatation cost and 10 years of maturity. The
market price per debenture is ‘ 105.(ii)‘ 100 per preference share redeemable at par has 3% floatation cost and

market price per share of ‘ 24. The next year expected dividend is ‘ 2 per share with an annual growth of 5%. The
firm has a practice of paying all earnings in the form of dividends.(iv)Corporate Income-tax rate is 35%.
Since the company is a multinational company market value weights are preferred over book value weights
when calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for several reasons. The company believes that
market values reflect the current market perception of a company’s financial health and future prospects. This is
more relevant for calculating the cost of capital today, as investors base their decisions on current market
conditions. Book values, based on historical accounting principles, may not accurately represent the true economic
value of the company’s capital components. Market values capture the actual cost that a company would incur if
it were to raise new capital in the current market. Book values might not reflect the true cost of debt due to
factors like changes in interest rates or creditworthiness. Similarly, book value of equity might not reflect the
current investor expectations for future dividends and growth. Market values are readily available through stock
prices and market interest rates. Obtaining accurate book values, especially for intangible assets, can be a complex
and time-consuming process.Being a Finance manager of the company, you are required to provide the answer
to the following questions to the top management:
(i) Calculate the cost of equity and choose the correct answer from the following?
(a)14% (b)15% (c)16% (d)17%

QUESTION NO. 1 XYZ Industries Ltd., a renowned player in the manufacturing sector, has been contemplating an
ambitious expansion program. To finance this growth, the company scrutinizes its current capital structure, which
is a blend of equity, retained earnings, preference shares, and debentures.
The equity base of XYZ Industries Ltd., is robust with 40,000 equity shares valued at ‘ 100 each, amounting to a
substantial ‘ 40,00,000. This equity foundation is bolstered by retained earnings of ‘ 10,00,000, reflecting the
company’s prudent profit reinvestment strategy.
In addition to equity, XYZ Industries Ltd., has diversified its financing through 9% preference shares and 7%
debentures, each contributing ‘ 25,00,000 to the capital pool. This strategic mix of debt and equity showcases
the company’s balanced approach to leveraging and risk management.
The company’s capital yields a healthy return rate of 12% on capital employed, indicative of its operational
efficiency and market competitiveness. However, it operates in a high-tax environment with an income-tax rate
of 50%, which significantly impacts its net earnings and available reinvestment capital.
Faced with the need to raise an additional ‘ 25,00,000 for its expansion program, XYZ Industries Ltd., stands at a
crossroads. The decision to fund this venture will require careful consideration of the cost of capital, tax
implications, and the impact on shareholder value.
The management must evaluate whether to issue more equity shares, preference shares or debentures. Issuing
equity could dilute current shareholders’ value but would not increase the company’s debt burden. Preference
shares offer a fixed return to investors and have priority over equity in profit distribution but come at a higher
cost than debt. Debentures are less expensive due to tax-deductible interest expenses but increase financial risk.
XYZ Industries Ltd.’s journey towards expansion is not just about raising funds but also about maintaining a
delicate balance between growth aspirations and financial stability. The company’s choice will set a precedent
for its future financial strategies and market reputation.
Faced with the challenge of capital structure decision making to finance the expansion programme the finance
manager is considering the following alternatives:(i)Issue of 20,000 equity shares at a premium of ‘ 25 per
share.(ii)Issue of 10% preference shares.(iii)Issue of 8% debentures
The manufacturing company has estimated that the PE ratios in the cases of equity preference and debenture
financing would be 20, 17 and 16 respectively. You are required to evaluate the various financial alternatives
considering three plans proposed i.e. Plan I (Equity), Plan II (Preference Shares) and Plan III (Debentures).
Based on the information provided above you are required to answer the following MCQ’s:
(i) What will be the amount of PAT under the three plans i.e. Plan I (Equity), Plan II (Preference Shares) and
Plan III (Debentures) respectively from the following?
(a)‘ 13,25,000, ‘ 13,25,000 and ‘ 11,25,000 (b)‘ 8,62,500, ‘ 9,62,500 and ‘ 10,62,500
(c)‘ 15,00,000, ‘ 15,00,000 and ‘ 15,00,000 (d)‘ 6,62,500, ‘ 6,62,500 and ‘ 5,62,500
(ii) What will be the amount of total preference dividend under the three plans i.e. Plan I (Equity), Plan II
