Exercise 1
Australian Land Ltd is planning a rights issue to raise funds. The subscription price is $16.50
and they want to raise $4,125,000. The current market price of their shares is $18.00 and there
are currently 1,750,000 shares on issue.
Q1 - How many new shares need to be issued to raise the funds required?
Shares to issue = Amount to be raised / subscription price
= 4 125 000 / 16.50
= 250 000 shares
Q2 - How many shares will entitle each holder to purchase one new share in the rights issue?
Number of shares needed = number of shares currently on issue / number of new shares
= 1 750 000 / 250 000
= 7 shares

Q3 - What is the value of a right?
R0 = n × (M – S) ÷ (n + 1)
= 7 × (18 – 16.5) ÷ (7 + 1)
= $1.3125
Q4 - What would the ex-rights price per share be if the rights issue is fully subscribed?
X = (n × M + S) ÷ (n + 1)
= (7 × 18 + 16.5) / (7+1)
= $17.81

Exercise 2
Q1 - Cash Discounts: If a supplier offers a 1.5% discount for payment of an account within 21 days
or net 60 (1.5/21, N60), what is the effective interest rate if you do not pay until 60 days after receipt
of the account?
Ø Paying on the 60th day is equivalent to paying interest of $1.5 on a $98.5 loan:
Ø 1.5 / 98.5 = 0.0152 on a 39-day loan. Note that 60 – 21 = 39 days loan
Ø EAR = (1 + i)m − 1 = (1.0152)365/39 − 1 = 0.1516 = 15.16%
Q2 - Economic Order Quantity: The estimated demand for the widgets for the coming year is 25,000,
order costs are $200 per order and carrying costs are $8 per widget. What is the EOQ?
Q* = (2 × T × F ⁄ CC)0.5 = (2 × 25 000 × 200/8)0.5 = 1 118 widgets

AY Ltd is looking at two different capital structures to finance the start of its operations.
Structure A: Long term debt of $100,000 paying a 16% coupon and 100,000 shares issued at $2.00
each.
Structure B: Long term debt of $200,000 paying a 17% coupon and 50,000 shares issued at $2.00
each.
AY Ltd pays tax @ 30%. What is the break-even EBIT?

Revision Questions
Exercise 3
Break-even Point when EPSA = EPSB. Therefore:
[(EBIT - 16,000)(1 - 0.30)] / 100,000 = [(EBIT - 34,000)(1 - 0.30)] / 50,000
Divide both sides by (1 - 0,30) and 10,000
(EBIT - 16,000) / 10 = (EBIT - 34,000) / 5
Multiply both sides by 10
EBIT – 16,000 = (EBIT - 34,000) × 10/5
-EBIT = 16,000 - 68,000
EBIT = 52,000

government bonds. The bonds are worth $30,000 and pay a return of 3.6% p.a. The investor and the
planner have agreed that he should invest $120,000 in four companies, as indicated by the table

Company Return Beta Amount invested
ABC Ltd 14.80% 1.6 $40,000
DEF Ltd 11.65% 1.15 $20,000
GHI Ltd 9.20% 0.8 $30,000
JKL Ltd 8.85% 0.75 $30,000
Exercise 4
Q1 - Calculate the expected return of the combined portfolio consisting of the shares and the original
holding of government bonds.
Ø First we need to work out the weights of each investment.
Ø Total amount invested = 40 + 20 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 150
wABC = 40/150 = 0.27
wDEF = 20/150 = 0.13
wGHI = 30/150 = 0.2
wJKL = 30/150 = 0.2
wGOV = 30/150 = 0.2
Ø The E[RP] is:
E[RP] = 0.27×14.8% + 0.13×11.65% + 0.2×9.2% + 0.2×8.85% + 0.2×3.6% = 9.84%

Ø Now we can calculate the beta of the portfolio:
βP = 0.27×1.6 + 0.13×1.15 + 0.2×0.8 + 0.2×0.75 + 0.2×0 = 0.8915

Exercise 5
If ABC Ltd has a Beta of 1.6 and expected return of 14.8%. What is the return on the market based
on the assumption that ABC is trading in equilibrium and the risk free rate is 3.6%?
RABC = Rf + ABC × (Rm − Rf)
14.8% = 3.6% + 1.6(Rm – 3.6%)
14.8% = 3.6% + 1.6Rm - 5.76%
16.96% = 1.6Rm
Rm = 10.6%

Exercise 6
SHT, an Australian company, is considering an investment in the U.S. Interest rates in Australia are
currently 6.5% p.a., whilst in the U.S. they are 5.0% p.a. The current AUD/USD exchange rate is
0.8500.
Q1- Based on interest parity, what would you forecast the spot AUD/USD exchange rate to be one
year from now and after two years?
E(St) = S0 × [(1+Rtc) ÷ (1+Rc)]t
E(S1) = S0× [(1+Rtc)/(1+Rc)]1 = 0.85× [ (1.05)/(1.065)] = 0.8380
Q2- Based on interest parity, what would you forecast the spot AUD/USD exchange rate to be after
two years?
E(S2) = S0× [(1+Rtc)/(1+Rc)]2 = 0.85× [ (1.05)/(1.065)]2 = 0.8262

An investment in the US costs USD 5 million, with expected cash inflows of USD 3.4 million in year 1
and USD 4.8 million in year 2. Currently, interest rates in Australia are 6.5% p.a., whilst in the U.S.
they are 5.0% p.a. The required rate of return for a similar investment in Australia is 12% and the
current AUD/USD exchange rate is 0.8500. What is the NPV of the investment?
1- Compute the RRRtc: [(1 + 0.12) × (1+0.05) ÷ (1+0.065)] − 1 = 0.1042
2- Calculate the NPV using the foreign currency CFs and RRRtc = −5 + 3.41 + 0.1042 ! + 4.81 + 0.1042 " = 2.02

Exercise 8
Executive Air Charter is considering the expansion of its operations and needs to calculate its cost of
capital for the new venture. Executive Air Charter has $5, 7% preference shares, with a book value
of $200 million. The last sale of Executive Air Charter’s preference shares was at a price of $3.50.
Q1 - What is the market value of Executive Air Charter’s preference shares?
First we need to find the number of shares on issue:
Number of shares = book value of shares / issue price = 200 000 000 / 5 = 40 000 000 shares
The market price of the preference shares is then
P = 40 000 000 x 3.5 = $140 000 000
Q2 - What is the required rate of return on Executive Air Charter’s preference shares?
Rp = D/P
Rp= [0.07 x 5 / 3.5] = 0.1 = 10%

What is the weighted average cost of capital for Air Charter if they have a target capital structure of
34% debt and 13% preference shares? The market required rate of return on debt is 6%, preference
shares 10% and equity 18%. The tax rate is of 30%.
Equity financing =1 – (0.34+0.13) = 0.53
WACC = 0.34 x 0.06 x (1-0.3) + 0.53 x 0.18 + 0.13 x 0.1 = 0.1227 = 12.27%

Exercise 11
AIJ is considering constructing a new warehouse. The construction cost for the warehouse is $650,000.
Fittings will cost an additional $575,000. The warehouse will be built on land AIJ purchased for $200,000 a
few years ago, and which is currently worth $375,000. The value of the land is expected to double over the
10-year life-span of the warehouse and the tax rate is 30%. AIJ has paid Sydney Consulting $148,000 to
design the warehouse and has arranged to finance the cost of the construction with a 12% p.a. interest-
only loan requiring payments of $180,000 per year. AIJ will sell one of its vans if it moves to the new
warehouse. It would sell one which is fully depreciated for tax purposes and that could be sold for $8,000.
In addition, moving to the new warehouse would yield a once-off reduction in inventory of $970,000. What
are the cash flows at the start?

Your uncle has a superannuation policy that promises to pay $1,250,000 on his 60th birthday. He is
currently 35 years old. The fund earns 12% p.a., compounding monthly. What is the value of his policy
today?
Ø Number of years to be discounted: 60 - 35 = 25
Ø Number of compounding periods: n = 25 × 12 = 300
Ø Per period interest rate: i = 0.12 ÷ 12 = 0.01
Ø Future value: FV = $1,250,000
Solution
PV = FV × (1 + i)-n = 1,250,000 × (1+ 0.01)-300

What is the price of a $100,000 ten-year bond that was issued two years ago, if it will mature in eight
years’ time? Interest is paid semi-annually, and the last coupon payment was made yesterday. The coupon
rate is 12% p.a., with semi-annual compounding. The yield is 14% p.a., with semi-annual compounding.
c = 0.12 ÷ 2 = 0.06
i = 0.14 ÷ 2 = 0.07
n = 8 × 2 = 16
FV = $100,000
PMT = c × FV = 0.06 × 100,000 = $6,000
• Solution:
PV = PMT × [(1 − (1 + i)-n) ÷ i] + FV × (1 + i)-n
= 6,000 × [(1 – (1 + 0.07)-16) ÷ 0.07] + 100,000 × (1 + 0.07)-16
