If you deposit Rs.2,000 today at 6 percent rate of interest in how many years
(roughly) will this amount grow to Rs.32,000 ? Work this problem using the rule of
72do not use tables.
Solution:
Rs.32,000 / Rs. 2,000 = 16
= 24
According to the Rule of 72 at 6 percent interest rate doubling takes place

approximately in 72 / 6 = 12 years
So Rs.2,000 will grow to Rs.32,000 in approximately 4 x 12 years = 48 years
4.
If you deposit Rs.3,000 today at 8 percent rate of interest in how many years
(roughly) will this amount grow to Rs.1,92,000 ? Work this problem using the rule
of 72do not use tables.
Solution:
Rs.192,000 / Rs. 3,000 = 64 = 26
According to the Rule of 72 at 8 percent interest rate doubling takes place
approximately in 72 / 8 = 9 years
So Rs.3000 will grow to Rs.192,000 in approximately 6 x 9 years = 54 years
5.
A finance company offers to give Rs.20,000 after 14 years in return for Rs.5,000
deposited today. Using the rule of 69, figure out the approximate interest rate
offered.
Solution:
In 14 years Rs.5,000 grows to Rs.20,000 or 4 times. This is 2 2 times the initial
deposit. Hence doubling takes place in 14 / 2 = 7 years.
According to the Rule of 69, the doubling period is
We therefore have
0.35 + 69 / Interest rate = 7
Interest rate = 69/(7-0.35) = 10.38 %
0.35 + 69 / Interest rate
6.
Someone offers to give Rs.80,000 to you after 18 years in return for Rs.10,000
deposited today. Using the rule of 69, figure out the approximate interest rate
offered.
Solution:
In 18 years Rs.10,000 grows to Rs.80,000 or 8 times. This is 2 3 times the initial
deposit. Hence doubling takes place in 18 / 3 = 6 years.
According to the Rule of 69, the doubling period is 0.35 + 69 / Interest rate. We
therefore have
0.35 + 69 / Interest rate = 6
Interest rate = 69/(6-0.35) = 12.21 %
7.
You can save Rs.5,000 a year for 3 years, and Rs.7,000 a year for 7 years thereafter.
What will these savings cumulate to at the end of 10 years, if the rate of interest is 8
percent?
Solution:
Saving Rs.5000 a year for 3 years and Rs.6000 a year for 7 years thereafter is equivalent
to saving Rs.5000 a year for 10 years and Rs.2000 a year for the years 4 through 10.
Hence the savings will cumulate to:
5000 x FVIFA (8%, 10 years) + 2000 x FVIFA (8%, 7 years)
=
=
8.
5000 x 14.487 + 2000 x 8.923

Rs.90281
Krishna saves Rs. 24,000 a year for 5 years, and Rs.30,000 a year for 15 years
thereafter. If the rate of interest is 9 percent compounded annually, what will be the
value of his savings at the end of 20 years?
Solution:
Saving Rs.24,000 a year for 5 years and Rs.30,000 a year for 15 years thereafter is
equivalent to saving Rs.24,000 a year for 20 years and Rs.6,000 a year for the years
6 through 20.
Hence the savings will cumulate to:
24,000 x FVIFA (9%, 20 years) + 6,000 x FVIFA (9 %, 15 years)
=
24,000 x 51.160 + 6, 000 x 29.361
=
Rs. 1,404,006
9.
You plan to go abroad for higher studies after working for the next five years and
understand that an amount of Rs.2, 000,000 will be needed for this purpose at that
time. You have decided to accumulate this amount by investing a fixed amount at
the end of each year in a safe scheme offering a rate of interest at 10 percent. What
amount should you invest every year to achieve the target amount?
Solution:
Let A be the annual savings.
10.
A x FVIFA (10%, 5years)

A x 6.105
=
=
2,000,000
2,000,000
So, A = 2,000,000 / 6.105
Rs. 327,600
How much should Vijay save each year, if he wishes to purchase a flat expected to
cost Rs.80 lacs after 8 years, if the investment option available to him offers a rate
of interest at 9 percent? Assume that the investment is to be made in equal amounts
at the end of each year.
Solution:
Let A be the annual savings.
A x FVIFA (9 %, 8 years)
=
A x 11.028
=
So, A = 80,00,000 / 11.028 =
11.

A finance company advertises that it will pay a lump sum of Rs.100,000 at the end
of 5 years to investors who deposit annually Rs.12,000. What interest rate is
implicit in this offer?
Solution:
12,000 x FVIFA (r, 5 years) =
100,000
FVIFA (r, 5 years)
100,000 / 12,000
8.333
=
=
8.048
8.700
From the tables we find that

FVIFA (24%, 5 years)
FVIFA (28%, 5 years)
Using linear interpolation in the interval, we get:

(8.333 8.048)
r = 24% +
x 4% = 25.75%
(8.700 8.048)
12.
Someone promises to give you Rs.5,000,000 after 6 years in exchange for

Rs.2,000,000 today. What interest rate is implicit in this offer?
Solution:
2,000,000 x FVIF (r, 6 years) = 5,000,000
FVIF (r, 6 years)
= 5,000,000 / 2,000,000 = 2.5

FVIF (16%, 6 years) =
FVIF (17%, 6 years) =
2.436
2.565
Using linear interpolation in the interval, we get:

(2.5 2.436) x 1 %
r = 16% +
= 16.5 %
(2.565 2.436)
13.
At the time of his retirement, Rahul is given a choice between two alternatives: (a)
an annual pension of Rs. 120,000 as long as he lives, and (b) a lump sum amount of
Rs.1,000,000. If Rahul expects to live for 20 years and the interest rate is expected
to be 10 percent throughout, which option appears more attractive?
Solution:
The present value of an annual pension of Rs.120,000 for 20 years when r = 10% is:
120,000 x PVIFA (10%, 20 years)
=
120,000 x 8.514
Rs.1,021,680
The alternative is to receive a lumpsum of Rs 1,000,000
Rahul will be better off with the annual pension amount of Rs.120,000.

A leading bank has chosen you as the winner of its quiz competition and asked you
to choose from one of the following alternatives for the prize: (a) Rs. 60,000 in cash
immediately or (b) an annual payment of Rs. 10,000 for the next 10 years. If the
interest rate you can look forward to for a safe investment is 9 percent, which
option would you choose
Solution:
The present value of an annual payment of Rs.10,000 for 10 years when r = 9% is:
10,000 x PVIFA (9 %, 10 years)
=
10,000 x 6.418
Rs. 64,180
The annual payment option would be the better alternative
15.
What is the present value of an income stream which provides Rs.30,000 at the end
of year one, Rs.50,000 at the end of year three , and Rs.100,000 during each of the
years 4 through 10, if the discount rate is 9 percent ?
Solution:
The present value of the income stream is:
30,000 x PVIF (9%, 1 year) + 50,000 x PVIF (9%, 3 years)
+ 100,000 x PVIFA (9 %, 7 years) x PVIF (9%, 3 years)
= 30,000 x 0.917 + 50,000 x 0.772 + 100,000 x 5.033 x 0.0.772 = Rs.454,658.
16.
What is the present value of an income stream which provides Rs.25,000 at the end
of year one, Rs.30,000 at the end of years two and three, and Rs.40,000 during each
of the years 4 through 8 if the discount rate is 15 percent ?
Solution:
25,000 x PVIF (15%, 1 year) + 30,000 x PVIF (15%, 2 years)
+ 30,000 x PVIF (15%, 3 years)
+ 40,000 x PVIFA (15 %, 5 years) x PVIF (15%, 3 years)
= 25,000 x 0.870 + 30,000 x 0.756 + 30,000 x 0.658
+ 40,000 x 3.352 x 0.658 = Rs.152,395.
17.
What is the present value of an income stream which provides Rs.1,000 a year for
the first three years and Rs.5,000 a year forever thereafter, if the discount rate is 12
percent?
Solution:
1,000 x PVIFA (12%, 3 years) + (5,000/ 0.12) x PVIF (12%, 3 years)
= 1,000 x 2.402 + (5000/0.12) x 0.712
= Rs.32,069
18.
What is the present value of an income stream which provides Rs.20,000 a year for
the first 10 years and Rs.30,000 a year forever thereafter, if the discount rate is 14
percent ?
Solution:
20,000 x PVIFA (14%, 10 years) + (30,000/ 0.14) x PVIF (14%, 10 years)
= 20,000 x 5.216 + (30,000/0.14) x 0.270
= Rs.162,177

now to earn an annual income of Rs.240,000 forever beginning from the end of 6
years from now ? The deposit earns 12 percent per year.
Solution:
To earn an annual income of Rs.240,000 forever , beginning from the end of 6 years
from now, if the deposit earns 12% per year a sum of
Rs. 240,000 / 0.12 = Rs.2,000,000 is required at the end of 5 years. The amount that
must be deposited to get this sum is:
Rs.2,000,000 PVIF (12%, 5 years) = Rs.2,000,000 x 0.567
= Rs. 1,134,000

Suppose someone offers you the following financial contract. If you deposit
Rs.100,000 with him he promises to pay Rs.50,000 annually for 3 years. What
interest rate would you earn on this deposit?
Solution:
Rs.100,000 =- Rs.50,000 x PVIFA (r, 3 years)
PVIFA (r,3 years) = 2.00
From the tables we find that:
PVIFA (20 %, 3 years)
=
=
2.106
1.981
Using linear interpolation we get:

r = 20 % +
2.106 2.00
---------------2.106 1.981
x 4%
= 23.39 %

PVIFA (r, 10 years) = 6.00
= 6.145
= 5.889
Using linear interpolation we get:

r = 10 % +
= 10.57 %
6.145 6.00

You have a choice between Rs.200,000 now and Rs.600,000 after 8 years. Which
would you choose? What does your preference indicate?
Solution:
The interest rate implicit in the offer of Rs.600,000 after 8 years in lieu of
Rs.200,000 now is:
Rs.200,000 x FVIF (r,8 years) = Rs.600,000
Rs.600,000
FVIF (r,8 years) =
= 3.000
Rs.200,000

FVIF (15%, 8years) = 3.059
This means that the implied interest rate is nearly 15%.
I would choose Rs.600,000 after 8 years from now because I find a return of 15%
quite attractive.

Petrolite owns an oil pipeline which will generate Rs. 15 million of cash income in
the coming year. It has a very long life with virtually negligible operating costs.
The volume of oil shipped, however, will decline over time and, hence, cash flows
will decrease by 6 percent per year. The discount rate is 18 percent.
a. If the pipeline is used forever, what is the present value of its cash flows?
b. If the pipeline is scrapped after 10 years, what is the present value of its cash
flows?
Solution:
(a)
PV = c/(r g) = 15/[0.18 (-0.06)] = Rs.62.5 million

1. As an investment advisor, you have been approached by a client called Vikas for your
advice on investment plan. He is currently 40 years old and has Rs.600,000 in the
bank. He plans to work for 20 years more and retire at the age of 60. His present
salary is Rs.500,000 per year. He expects his salary to increase at the rate of 12
percent per year until his retirement.
Vikas has decided to invest his bank balance and future savings in a balanced
mutual fund scheme that he believes will provide a return of 9 percent per year. You
agree with his assessment.
Vikas seeks your help in answering several questions given below. In answering
these questions, ignore the tax factor.
(i) Once he retires at the age of 60, he would like to withdraw Rs.800,000 per year
for his consumption needs from his investments for the following 15 years (He
expects to live upto the age of 75 years). Each annual withdrawal will be made at
the beginning of the year. How much should be the value of his investments
when Vikas turns 60, to meet this retirement need?
(ii) How much should Vikas save each year for the next 20 years to be able to
withdraw Rs.800,000 per year from the beginning of the 21 st year ? Assume that
the savings will occur at the end of each year.
(iii) Suppose Vikas wants to donate Rs.500,000 per year in the last 5 years of his life to a
charitable cause. Each donation would be made at the beginning of the year. Further,
he wants to bequeath Rs.1,000,000 to his son at the end of his life. How much should
he have in his investment account when he reaches the age of 60 to meet this need
for donation and bequeathing?
(iv) Vikas is curious to find out the present value of his lifetime salary income. For the
sake of simplicity, assume that his current salary of Rs.500,000 will be paid exactly
one year from now, and his salary is paid annually. What is the present value of his
life time salary income, if the discount rate applicable to the same is 7 percent?
Remember that Vikas expects his salary to increase at the rate of 12 percent per year
until retirement.
Solution:
(i)
This is an annuity due
Value of annuity due = Value of ordinary annuity (1 + r)
The value of investments when Vikas turns 60 must be:
800,000 x PVIFA (9%, 15 years) x 1.09
= 800,000 x 8.060 x 1.09 = Rs.7,028,320
(ii)
He must have Rs.7,092,800 at the end of the 20th year.

His current capital of Rs.600,000 will grow to:
Rs.600,000 x FVIF (9%, 20yrs) = 600,000 x 5.604
= Rs.3,362,400
So, what he saves in the next 15 years must cumulate to:
7,028,320 3,362,400 = Rs.3,665,920
A x FVIFA (9%, 20 yrs) = Rs.3,665,920
A x 51.160 = 3,665,920
A = 3,665,920/51.160 = Rs.71,656
(iii)

1,000,000
To meet his donation objective, Vikas will need an amount equal to:
500,000 x PVIFA (9%, 5years) when he turns 69.
This means he will need
500,000 x PVIFA (9%, 5yrs) x PVIF (9%, 9yrs) when he turns 60.
This works out to:
500,000 x 3.890 x 0.460 = Rs.894,700
To meet his bequeathing objective he will need
1,000,000 x PVIF (15%, 9yrs) when he turns 60
This works out to:
1,000,000 x 0.275 = Rs.275,000
So, his need for donation and bequeathing is: 894,700 + 275,000
= Rs.1,169,700

2. As an investment advisor, you have been approached by a client called Ravi for
= Rs.14,925,065
advice on his investment plan. He is 35 years and has Rs.200, 000 in the bank. He
plans to work for 25 years more and retire at the age of 60. His present salary is
500,000 per year. He expects his salary to increase at the rate of 12 percent per year
until his retirement.
Ravi has decided to invest his bank balance and future savings in a balanced
mutual fund scheme that he believes will provide a return of 9 percent per year. You
concur with his assessment.
Ravi seeks your help in answering several questions given below. In answering
these questions, ignore the tax factor.
(i)
Once he retires at the age of 60, he would like to withdraw Rs. 900,000 per
year for his consumption needs for the following 20 years (His life expectancy
is 80years).Each annual withdrawal will be made at the beginning of the year.
How much should be the value of his investments when he turns 60, to meet his
retirement need?
(ii)
How much should Ravi save each year for the next 25 years to be able to
withdraw Rs.900, 000 per year from the beginning of the 26 th year for a period
of 20 years?
Assume that the savings will occur at the end of each year. Remember that he
already has some bank balance.
(iii)
Suppose Ravi wants to donate Rs.600, 000 per year in the last 4 years of
his life to a charitable cause. Each donation would be made at the beginning of
the year. Further he wants to bequeath Rs. 2,000,000 to his daughter at the end
of his life. How much should he have in his investment account when he
reaches the age of 60 to meet this need for donation and bequeathing?
(iv) Ravi wants to find out the present value of his lifetime salary income. For the
sake of simplicity, assume that his current salary of Rs 500,000 will be paid
exactly one year from now, and his salary is paid annually. What is the present
value of his lifetime salary income, if the discount rate applicable to the same is
8 percent? Remember that Ravi expects his salary to increase at the rate of 12
percent per year until retirement.
Solution:
(i)
900,000 x PVIFA ( 9 %, 20 ) x 1.09
900,000 x 9.128 x 1.09
= Rs. 8,954,568
(ii)
Ravi needs Rs. 8,954,568 when he reaches the age of 60.

His bank balance of Rs. 200,000 will grow to : 200,000 ( 1.09 )25
= 200,000 ( 8.623 ) = Rs. 1,724,600
This means that his periodic savings must grow to:
Rs. 8,954,568 - Rs. 1,724,600 = Rs. 7,229,968
His annual savings must be:

7,229,968

Safari Inc. has profit before tax of Rs.90 million. If the company's times interest
covered ratio is 4, what is the total interest charge?
Solution:
PBT
Rs.90 million
PBIT
Times interest covered =
= 4
Interest
So PBIT = 4 x Interest
PBT = PBIT interest
= 4 x interest - interest = 3 x interest = 90 million
Therefore interest = 90/3 = Rs.30 million
7.

The following data applies to a firm:

Interest charges
Tax rate
Net profit margin
Rs.200,000
Rs.6,000,000
40 percent
5 percent
What is the firm's times interest covered ratio?

Solution:
Sales = Rs.6,000,000
Net profit margin = 5 per cent
Net profit = Rs.6,000,000 x 0.05 = 300,000
Tax rate = 40 per cent
300,000
So, Profit before tax =
= Rs.500,000
(1-.4)
Interest charge
= Rs.200,000
So Profit before interest and taxes = Rs.700,000

Hence
Times interest covered ratio =
700,000
= 3.5

Net profit = Rs.300,000 x 0.03 = 9,000

Tax rate
25 per cent
9,000
So,
Profit before tax =
= Rs.12,000
(1-.25)
Interest charge
Rs.50,000
So Profit before interest and taxes = Rs.62,000

Hence

Solution:
Sales = Rs.80,000,000
Net profit margin = 10 per cent
Net profit = Rs.80,000,000 x 0.1 = 8,000,000
Tax rate
= 50 per cent
8,000,000
So,
Profit before tax =
Interest charge
= Rs.16,000,000
(1-.5)
= Rs.10,000,000
So Profit before interest and taxes = Rs.26,000,000

Hence
26,000,000
= 2.6

A firm has total annual sales( i.e. revenues from operations) (all credit) of 1,200,000
and accounts receivable of 500,000. How rapidly (in how many days) must
accounts receivable be collected if management wants to reduce the accounts
receivable to 300,000?

Solution:
Debt/equity = 0.80
Equity = 80,000 + 50,000 = 130,000
So Debt = Short-term bank borrowings = 0.8 x 130,000
= 104,000
Hence Total assets = 130,000+104,000 = 234,000

Total assets turnover ratio = 2
So total revenues = 2 x 234,000 = 468,000
Revenues from operations = Total revenues Other income
= 468,000 -0 = 468,000
So Cost of goods sold = 0.7 x 468,000 = 327,600
Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable = 30 days

So Accounts receivable =

Solution:
Debt/equity = 0.40
Equity = 160,000,000 + 30,000,000 = 190,000,000
So Debt = Short-term bank borrowings = 0.4 x 190,000,000
Hence Total assets = 190,000,000+ 76,000,000 = 266,000,000
Total assets turnover ratio = 2.5
So total revenues = 2.5 x 266,000,000= 665,000,000
= 665,000,000 -0 = 665,000,000

Hence Total assets = 700,000+1050,000 = 1,750,000

Total assets turnover ratio = 1.9
So total revenues = 1.9 x 1,750,000= 3,325,000

Solution:
Expected rates of returns on equity stock A, B, C and D can be computed as
follows:
3.
A:
8 + 10 6 -1+ 9
5
= 4%
B:
10+ 6- 9+4 + 11

(b)
Return on portfolio consisting of stock A and B in equal

proportions =
0.5 (4) + 0.5 (4.4)
=
4.2%
(c)
Return on portfolio consisting of stocks A, B and C in equal

proportions =
1/3(4 ) + 1/3(4.4) + 1/3 (6.2)
=
4.87%
(d)
Return on portfolio consisting of stocks A, B, C and D in equal

proportions =
0.25(4) + 0.25(4.4) + 0.25(6.2) +0.25(10)
=
6.15%

A portfolio consists of 4 securities, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The proportions of these securities

are: w1=0.3, w2=0.2, w3=0.2, and w4=0.3. The standard deviations of returns on these
securities (in percentage terms) are: 1=5, 2=6, 3=12, and 4=8. The correlation
coefficients among security returns are: 12=0.2, 13=0.6, 14=0.3, 23=0.4, 24=0.6,
and 34=0.5. What is the standard deviation of portfolio return?
Solution:
The standard deviation of portfolio return is:
p= [w1212 + w2222 + w3232 + 4242 + 2 w1 w2 12 1 2 + 2 w1 w3 13 1 3 + 2 w1 w4
14 14 + 2 w2 w3 23 2 3 + 2 w2 w4 24 2 4 + 2 w3 w4 34 3 4 ]1/2
= [0.32 x 52 + 0.22 x 62 + 0.22 x 122 + 0.32 x 82 + 2 x 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 5 x 6
+ 2 x 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.6 x 5 x 12 + 2 x 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 x 5 x 8
+ 2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.4 x 6 x 12 + 2 x 0.2 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 6 x 8
+ 2 x 0.2 x 0.3 x 0.5 x 12 x 8]1/2
= 5.82 %

Assume that a group of securities has the following characteristics: (a) the standard
deviation of each security is equal to A; (b) covariance of returns AB is equal for
each pair of securities in the group.
What is the variance of a portfolio containing six securities which are equally
weighted?
Solution:
When there are 6 securities, you have 6 variance terms and 6 x 5 = 30 covariance terms.
As all variance terms are the same, all covariance terms are the same, and all securities
are equally weighted, the portfolio variance is:
6wA2 A2 + 30 wA2 AB

The risk-free return is 8 percent and the return on market portfolio is 16 percent.
Stock X's beta is 1.2; its dividends and earnings are expected to grow at the constant
rate of 10 percent. If the previous dividend per share of stock X was Rs.3.00, what
should be the intrinsic value per share of stock X?
Solution:
The required rate of return on stock A is:
RX
=
=
=
RF + X (RM RF)
0.08 + 1.2 (0.16 0.08)
0. 176
Intrinsic value of share = D1 / (r- g) = Do (1+g) / ( r g)

Given Do = Rs.3.00, g = 0.10, r = 0.176
3.00 (1.10)
Intrinsic value per share of stock X =
0.176 0.10
=
5.
Rs. 43.42
The risk-free return is 7 percent and the return on market portfolio is 13 percent.
Stock P's beta is 0.8; its dividends and earnings are expected to grow at the constant
rate of 5 percent. If the previous dividend per share of stock P was Rs.1.00, what
should be the intrinsic value per share of stock P?
Solution:
The required rate of return on stock P is:
RP
=
=
=
RF + P (RM RF)
0.07 + 0.8 (0.13 0.07)
0. 118
Intrinsic value of share = D1 / (r- g) = Do (1+g) / ( r g)

Given Do = Rs.1.00, g = 0.05, r = 0.118
1.00 (1.05)
Intrinsic value per share of stock P
=
0.118 0.05
=
Rs. 15.44
6.
The risk-free return is 6 percent and the expected return on a market portfolio is 15
percent. If the required return on a stock is 18 percent, what is its beta?
Solution:
The SML equation is RA = RF + A (RM RF)
Given RA = 18%.
RF = 6%,
RM = 15%, we have
0.18 = .06 + A (0.15 0.06)

0.12
i.e. A =
= 1.33
0.09
Beta of stock = 1.33

7.
The risk-free return is 9 percent and the expected return on a market portfolio is 12
percent. If the required return on a stock is 14 percent, what is its beta?
Solution:
The SML equation is RA = RF + A (RM RF)
Given RA = 14%.
RF = 9%,
RM = 12%, we have
0.14 = .09 + A (0.12 0.09)

0.05
i.e.A =
= 1.67
0.03
Beta of stock = 1.67

8.
The risk-free return is 5 percent. The required return on a stock whose beta is 1.1 is
18 percent. What is the expected return on the market portfolio?
Solution:
The SML equation is: RX = RF + X (RM RF)
We are given 0.18 = 0.05 + 1.1 (RM 0.05) i.e., 1.1 RM = 0.185 or RM = 0.1681
Therefore return on market portfolio = 16.81 %
9.
The risk-free return is 10 percent. The required return on a stock whose beta is 0.50
is 14 percent. What is the expected return on the market portfolio?
Solution:
The SML equation is: RX = RF + X (RM RF)
We are given 0.14 = 0.10 + 0.50 (RM 0.10) i.e., 0.5 RM = 0.09 or RM = 0.18
Therefore return on market portfolio = 18 %
10.
The required return on the market portfolio is 15 percent. The beta of stock A is
1.5. The required return on the stock is 20 percent. The expected dividend growth
on stock A is 6 percent. The price per share of stock A is Rs.86. What is the
expected dividend per share of stock A next year?
What will be the combined effect of the following on the price per share of stock?
(a) The inflation premium increases by 3 percent.
(b) The decrease in the degree of risk-aversion reduces the differential between the
return on market portfolio and the risk-free return by one-fourth.
(c) The expected growth rate of dividend on stock A decrease to 3 percent.
(d) The beta of stock A falls to1.2
Solution:
RM = 15%
A = 1.5
RA =20 % g = 6 %
Po = Rs.86
Po = D1 / (r - g)
Rs.86 = D1 / (0.20 - .06)
So D1 = Rs.12.04 and Do = D1 / (1+g) = 12.04 /(1.06) = Rs.11.36
RA
Rf + A (RM Rf)
0.20 =
Rf + 1.5 (0.15 Rf)

The required return on the market portfolio is 16 percent. The beta of stock A is
1.6. The required return on the stock is 22 percent. The expected dividend growth
on stock A is 12 percent. The price per share of stock A is Rs.260. What is the
expected dividend per share of stock A next year?
What will be the combined effect of the following on the price per share of stock?
(a) The inflation premium increases by 5 percent.
(b) The decrease in the degree of risk-aversion reduces the differential between the
return on market portfolio and the risk-free return by one-half.
(c) The expected growth rate of dividend on stock A decrease to 10 percent.
(d) The beta of stock A falls to 1.1
Solution:
RM = 16%
A = 1.6
RA =22 % g = 12 % Po = Rs. 260
Po = D1 / (r - g)
Rs.260 = D1 / (0.22 - .12)
So D1 = Rs. 26 and Do = D1 / (1+g) = 26 /(1.12) = Rs.23.21
RA
Rf + A (RM Rf)

Mr. Nitin Gupta had invested Rs.8 million each in Ashok Exports and Biswas Industries
and Rs. 4 million in Cinderella Fashions, only a week before his untimely demise. As per
his will this portfolio of stocks were to be inherited by his wife alone. As the partition
among the family members had to wait for one year as per the terms of the will, the
portfolio of shares had to be maintained as they were for the time being. The will had
stipulated that the job of administering the estate for the benefit of the beneficiaries and
partitioning it in due course was to be done by the reputed firm of Chartered Accountants,
Talwar Brothers. Meanwhile the widow of the deceased was very eager to know certain
details of the securities and had asked the senior partner of Talwar Brothers to brief her in
this regard. For this purpose the senior partner has asked you to prepare a detailed note to
him with calculations using CAPM, to answer the following possible doubts.
1. What is the expected return and risk (standard deviation) of the portfolio?
2. What is the scope for appreciation in market price of the three stocks-are they
overvalued or undervalued?
You find that out the three stocks, your firm has already been tracking two viz. Ashok
Exports (A) and Biswas Industries (B)-their betas being 1.7 and 0.8 respectively.
Further, you have obtained the following historical data on the returns of Cinderella

Required return on Cinderella Fashions = 7 + (7 x 1.36)
=
=
=
18.9 %
12.6 %
16.5 %
As the expected return of 17.7 % on Ashok Exports is slightly less than the required
return of 18.9%, its expected return can be expected to go up to the fair return
indicated by CAPM and for this to happen its market price should come down. So it
is slightly overvalued.
In the case of Biswas Industries stock, as the expected return of 11.3% is again
slightly less than the required return of 12.6 %, its expected return can be expected to
go up and for this to happen its market price should come down. So it is also slightly
overvalued.
In the case of Cinderella Fashions the expected return is 10.6 % against the required
return of 16.5 %. So it is considerably overvalued.
MINICASE 2
Mr. Pawan Garg, a wealthy businessman, has approached you for professional
advice on investment. He has a surplus of Rs. 20 lakhs which he wishes to invest in
share market. Being risk averse by nature and a first timer to secondary market, he
makes it very clear that the risk should be minimum. Having done some research in
this field, you recommend to him a portfolio of two shares - stocks of an oil
exploration company ONGD and an oil marketing company BPDL. You tell him
that both are reputed, government controlled companies.
You have the following market data at your disposal.

The firm also informs you that they had very recently made a study of the ONGD
stock and can advise that its beta is 1.65.
Mr. Garg requests you to answer the following questions:
a. What is the beta for BPDL stock?
b. What is the covariance of the returns on ONGD and BPDL? Use the forecasted
returns to calculate this.
c. If the forecasted returns on ONGD and BPDL are perfectly negatively correlated
( = -1), what will be expected return from a zero risk portfolio?
d. What will be the risk and return of a portfolio consisting of ONGD and BPDL
stocks in equal proportions?
e. What is the scope for appreciation for the two stocks?

Solution:
a. Let the returns from the stocks of ONGD, BPDL and the market index be Ro, RB and RM
respectively.
Beta of BPDL = (-172/5) / (310/5) = -0.55

Expected return on ONGD = 0.3 x 9 + 0.4 x 18 + 0.3 x 25 = 17.4
Expected return on BPDL = 0.3 x 15 + 0.4 x 10+ 0.3 x 6 = 10.3
Expected return on Market index = 0.3 x (-2) + 0.4 x 14+ 0.3 x 20 = 11
Standard deviation of return on ONGD = [0.3(9-17.4)2 + 0.4(18-17.4)2 + 0.3(2517.4)2]1/2
= 6.22
Standard deviation of return on BPDL = [0.3(15- 10.3)2 + 0.4(10-10.3)2 + 0.3(6- 10.3)2]1/2
= 3.49
Covariance of the returns of ONGD and BPDL = -21.72

Coefficient of correlation between the two stocks = - 21.72 / (6.22 x 3.49) =
= - 21.72 / 21.71 = - 1
As the two stocks are perfectly negatively correlated, it is possible to construct a

portfolio with almost nil risk.
b. wo = / ( 0 + ) = 3.49 / (6.22+ 3.49) = 0.36
he amount to be invested in ONGD = 0.36 x 20,00,000 = Rs. 7,20,000
No. of share of ONGD to be purchased = 720,000/ 1200 = 600
No. of share of BPDL to be purchased = (20,00,000 720,000) / 423 = 3026
c. Weight of ONGD in the portfolio = 0.36 and of BPDL =0.64
The portfolio return = 0.36 x 17.4 + 0.64 x 10.3 = 12.86 %
d. E(R) = 0.5 x 17.4 + 0.5 x 10.3 = 13.85 %
P = [ (0.5)2 x (6.22)2 + (0.5)2 x(3.49)2 - 2x0.5 x 0.5 x 21.72 ]1/2
= 1.36 %
e. Required return on ONGD as per CAPM = 7 + 1.65 x (11 -7) = 13.6 %
Expected return = 17.4
As the expected return is more than the required return, ONGD stock is underpriced
Required return on BPDL as per CAPM = 7 0.55 x (11 -7) = 4.8 %
Expected return = 10.3
As the expected return is more than the required return, BPDL stock is also
underpriced.
So there is good scope for appreciation in the market prices of both the stocks.

5.
The market value of a Rs.1,000 par value bond, carrying a coupon rate of 10
percent and maturing after 5 years, is Rs.850. What is the yield to maturity on this
bond?
Solution:
The yield to maturity is the value of r that satisfies the following equality.
5 100
1,000
Rs.850 =
+
t
t=1 (1+r)
(1+r)5
Try r = 14%. The right hand side (RHS) of the above equation is:
Rs.100 x PVIFA (14%, 5 years) + Rs.1,000 x PVIF (14%, 5 years)
=
Rs.100 x 3.433 + Rs.1,000 x 0.519
=
Rs.862.30
Rs.100 x PVIFA (15%, 5 years) + Rs.1,000 x PVIF (15%, 5years)
=
Rs.100 x 3.352 + Rs.1,000 x 0.497
=
Rs.832.20
Thus the value of r at which the RHS becomes equal to Rs.850 lies between 14%
and 15%.
Using linear interpolation in this range, we get
862.30 850.00
Yield to maturity = 14% + 862.30 832.20
x 1%
= 14.41%
6.
The market value of a Rs.100 par value bond, carrying a coupon rate of 8.5 percent
and maturing after 8 years, is Rs.95. What is the yield to maturity on this bond?
Solution:
The yield to maturity is the value of r that satisfies the following equality.
95 =
8 8.5
100
+
t=1 (1+r) t
(1+r)8
8.5 x PVIFA (10%, 8 years) + Rs.100 x PVIF (10%, 8 years)
=
Rs.8.5 x 5.335 + Rs.100 x 0.467
=
Rs.92.05
8.5 x PVIFA (9 %, 8 years) + Rs.100 x PVIF (9%, 8years)
=
8.5 x 5.535 + Rs.100 x 0.502
=
47.04 + 50.20 = 97.24
Thus the value of r at which the RHS becomes equal to Rs.95 lies between 9%
and 10%.
Using linear interpolation in this range, we get
Yield to maturity = 9 % +
97.24 95.00
97.24 92.05
x 1%
= 9.43 %

You can buy a Rs.1000 par value bond carrying an interest rate of 10 percent
(payable annually) and maturing after 5 years for Rs.970. If the re-investment rate
applicable to the interest receipts from this bond is 15 percent, what will be the
yield to maturity?
Solution:
Terminal value of the interest proceeds
=
100 x FVIFA (15%, 5)
=
100 x 6.742
=
674.20
Redemption value = 1,000
Terminal value of the proceeds from the bond = 1,674.20
let r be the yield to maturity. The value of r can be obtained from the equation
970 (1 + r)5
r
= 1,674.20
= (1,674.20/970)1/5 -1
= 0.1153 or 11.53 %

maturity?
Solution:
Terminal value of the interest proceeds
=
8 x FVIFA (10%, 8)
=

Shivalik Combines issues a partly convertible debenture for Rs.900, carrying an
interest rate of 12 percent. Rs.300 will get compulsorily converted into two equity
shares of Shivalik Combines a year from now. The expected price per share of
Shivalik Combiness equity a year from now would be Rs.200. The nonconvertible portion will be redeemed in three equal installments of Rs. 200 each at
the end of years 4, 5 and 6 respectively. The tax rate for Shivalik is 35 percent
and the net price per share Shivalik would realise for the equity after a year would
be Rs. 180.
(a) What is the value of convertible debenture? Assume that the investors
required rate of return on the debt component and the equity component are
12 percent and 16 percent respectively.
(b) What is the post-tax cost of the convertible debenture to Shivalik?
Solution:
(a)
No. of shares after conversion in one year = 2

Value of the shares at the price of Rs.200 = 2 x 200 = Rs.400
PV of the convertible portion at the required rate of 16% = 400/1.16 =
Rs.344.82

The post-tax cost of the convertible debenture to Shivalik is the IRR of the above
cash flow stream.
Let us try a discount rate of 10 %. The PV of the cash flow will then be
= 900 430/(1.1) -47/(1.1)2 - 47/(1.1)3 -247/(1.1)4-232/(1.1)5-216/(1.1)6

Brilliant Limited issues a partly convertible debenture for 1000, carrying an interest
rate of 10 percent. 360 will get compulsorily converted into two equity shares of
Brilliant Limited a year from now. The expected price per share of Brilliant
Limiteds equity a year from now would be Rs.300. The non-convertible portion
will be redeemed in four equal installments of Rs.160 each at the end of years 3, 4,
5 and 6 respectively. The tax rate for Brilliant is 33 percent and the net price per
share Brilliant would realise for the equity after a year would be Rs. 220.

What is the modified duration of the bond?
What will be the percentage change in the price of the bond, if the yield
declines by 0.3 percentage points (30 basis points)
Solution:
a.
Issue price (1.08)6 = Rs.100,000

Rs.100,000
Issue price =
(1.08)6
= Rs.63,017

What is the duration of this bond?

Why is the bonds duration less than its maturity?
What will be the effect of the following changes on the duration of the
bond:
(i) The coupon rate is 6% rather than 9 %
(ii) The yield to maturity is 10% rather than 9%
(iii) The maturity period is seven years rather than 8 years.
Consider one change at a time.
Solution:
a.
The duration of a coupon bond is:

1+y
(1 + y) + T(c y)
c [(1 +y)T 1] + y
y = 9 %, c = 9 %, T = 8 years
So, the duration of the bond is:
1.09
(1.09) + 8 (0.09 0.09)

-
0.09 [(1.09)8 1] + 0.09

1.09
12.11 = 6.031
0.1793
0.09
b.
Because the bond carries a coupon
c.
(i) A decrease in coupon rate from 9 % to 6 % will increase the duration.

(ii) An increase in yield from 9 % to 10 % reduces the duration because the duration
of a coupon bearing bond varies inversely with its yield.
(iii) A decrease in maturity period from 8 years to 7 years decreases the duration.

An insurance company has an obligation to pay Rs 652,710 after 13 years. The

market interest rate is 8 percent, so the present value of the obligation is Rs
240,000. The insurance companys portfolio manager wants to fund the obligation
with a mix of 10 year bonds and perpetuities paying annual coupons. How much
should he invest in these two instruments?
Solution:
The liability has a duration of thirteen years. The duration of the zero coupon bond
is 10 years and the duration of the perpetuities is: 1.08/ 0.08 = 13.5 years.
As the portfolio duration is 13 years, if w is the proportion of investment in zero
coupon bonds, we have
(wx10) + (1-w)x 13.5 = 13
10w + 13.5 13.5w= 13
w=0.143 and 1-w= 0. 857
Therefore the amount to be invested in zero coupon bonds is
240,000 x 0.143 = Rs. 34,320 and the amount to be invested in perpetuities is
Rs. 205,680
11.
An insurance company has an obligation to pay Rs. 325,784 after 9 years. The
market interest rate is 9 percent, so the present value of the obligation is Rs.
150,000. The insurance companys portfolio manager wants to fund the obligation
with a mix of seven year bonds and perpetuities paying annual coupons. How much
should he invest in these two instruments?
Solution:
The liability has a duration of nine years. The duration of the zero coupon bond is 5
years and the duration of the perpetuities is: 1.09/ 0.09 = 12.11 years.
As the portfolio duration is 9 years, if w is the proportion of investment in zero
coupon bonds, we have
(wx5) + ( 1-w)x 12.11 = 9
5w + 12.11 12.11w = 9
w=0.437 and 1-w= 0. 563
Therefore the amount to be invested in zero coupon bonds is
150,000 x 0. 437 =Rs. 65,550 and the amount to be invested in perpetuities is Rs.
84,450.

A Rs 1,000,000 par six-year maturity bond with a 8 percent coupon rate (paid
annually) currently sells at a yield to maturity of 7 percent. A portfolio manager
wants to forecast the total return on the bond over the coming four years, as his
horizon is four years. He believes that four years from now, two-year maturity
bonds will sell at a yield of 5 percent and the coupon income can be reinvested in
short-term securities over the next three years at a rate of 5 percent. What is the
expected annualised rate of return over the four year period?
Solution:

381,280 + 666,000
1,047,280
Forecast price = 80,000 PVIFA( 5 %, 2 years) + 1,000,000 PVIF ( 5%, 2 years)

= 80,000 x 1.859 + 1,000,000x 0.907 = 148,720 + 907,000
= 1,055,720
Future value of reinvested coupon
= 80,000 ( 1.05)3 + 80,000 ( 1.05)2 + 80,000 ( 1.05) + 80,000

Four year return =
344,810+ (1,055,720-1,047,280)
---------------------------------------- = 0.3373

13.
A Rs 100,000 par ten-year maturity bond with a 12 percent coupon rate (paid
annually) currently sells at a yield to maturity of 10 percent. A portfolio manager
wants to forecast the total return on the bond over the coming five years, as his
horizon is five years. He believes that five years from now, five-year maturity
bonds will sell at a yield of 9 percent and the coupon income can be reinvested in
short-term securities over the next four years at a rate of 8 percent. What is the
expected annualised rate of return over the five year period?
Solution:
Current price = 12,000 PVIFA (10 %, 10 years) + 100,000 PVIF (10%, 10 years)
= 12,000 x 6.145 + 100,000 x 0. 386

CHAPTER 20
INVESTMENT IN REAL ASSETS
1.
Gopal is considering an investment in a commercial property costing Rs. 15

million. Gopal can get a bank loan of Rs. 6 million at the rate of 11 percent per
year, for purchasing the property. The loan will be repaid in 10 equal instalments;
the first instalment will fall due one year from now. Gopal expects that the property
will fetch a rental income of Rs. 1.2 million for the first year; thereafter the rental
income will increase at the rate of 6 percent per year. For the sake of simplicity
assume that the rental income is receivable at the end of the year. After 10 years,
the property is expected to fetch a net salvage value of Rs. 30 million. Gopals
required hurdle rate for this project is 15 percent and his tax rate is 30 percent. Is
this a worthwhile proposal?
Solution:
The equated annual instalment of the loan
= 6,000,000 / PVIFA( 11% , 10Yrs)
= 6,000,000 / 5.889 = 1,018,849

Trying a rate of 15% for IRR, LHS = 8,904,324

By extrapolation,
IRR =
14 + (9,657,822 9,000,000) /(9,657,822= 8,904,324)
=
14 + 0.87
=
14.87 %
The IRR (14.87 percent) is lower than the hurdle rate (15.00 percent). So, it is not a
worthwhile investment proposal.

Rahul is considering an investment in a commercial property costing Rs. 35 million.

Rahul can get a bank loan of Rs. 15 million at the rate of 13 percent per year, for
purchasing the property. The loan will be repaid in 8 equal instalments; the first
instalment will fall due one year from now. Rahul expects that the property will
fetch a rental income of Rs. 3.5 million for the first year; thereafter the rental
income will increase at the rate of 8 percent per year. For the sake of simplicity
assume that the rental income is receivable at the end of the year. After 8 years, the
property is expected to fetch a net salvage value of Rs. 50 million. Rahuls required
hurdle rate for this project is 14 percent. His tax rate is 30 percent.
a)
b)
Is this a worthwhile proposal?

Assuming that Rahul collects a deposit equal to 2 years rent, but the rental
income increases by only 5 percent every year, what will be the IRR of the
proposal?
Solution:
a)
The equated annual instalment of the loan
=
15,000,000 / PVIFA (13% , 8 Yrs)

The return on a mutual fund portfolio during the last few years was 35 %, when the
return on the market portfolio was 20 %. The standard deviation of the
portfolio return was 12% whereas the standard deviation of the market portfolio
return was 18%. The portfolio beta was 1.7. The risk-free rate was 9 %. Decompose
the portfolio return into four components as suggested by Fama
Solution:
The portfolio return is decomposed into four components as follows:
1. Risk- free return, . Rf = 9 %
2. The impact of systematic return, ( Rm Rf ): 1.7 ( 20 9 ) = 18.7
3. The impact of imperfect diversification,
(p/m p ) (Rm Rf ) : ( 12/18- 1.7) ( 20- 9) = - 11.37
4. The net superior return due to selectivity,
Rp { Rf + p/m (Rm Rf ) }: 35 { 9 + (12/ 18) ( 11) } = 18.67
6.
The return on a mutual fund portfolio during the last few years was 20%, when the
return on the market portfolio was 15%. The standard deviation of the
portfolio return was 12% whereas the standard deviation of the market portfolio
return was 14%. The portfolio beta was 1.6. The risk-free rate was 8%. Decompose
the portfolio return into four components as suggested by Fama
Solution:
The portfolio return is decomposed into four components as follows
1. Risk- free return, . Rf = 8 %
2. The impact of systematic return, ( Rm Rf ): 1.6 ( 15 8 ) = 11.2
3. The impact of imperfect diversification,
(p/m p ) (Rm Rf ) : ( 12/14- 1.6) ( 15- 8) = - 5.2
4. The net superior return due to selectivity,
Rp { Rf + p/m p ) (Rm Rf ) }: 20 { 8 + (12/ 14) ( 7) } = 6
CHAPTER 25
GUIDELINES FOR INVESTMENT DECISIONS
MINICASE
Jai Prakash is 45 years old and has an annual salary income of Rs. 900,000. He expects
his income to increase by 10 percent per year till he retires at the age of 60.
Jai Prakash expects to live till the age of 80. In the post-retirement period, Jai
Prakash would like his annual income from his financial investments to be 50 percent of
his salary income in his last working year. Further, he would like the same to be
protected in real terms.
Jai Prakash owns a house (on which all the mortgage payments have been made) and
has Rs. 700,000 of financial assets. He wants to bequeath the house to his daughter and
Rs. 15,000,000 to his son when he dies.
The current financial assets and the future savings of Jai Prakash are expected to earn
a nominal rate of return of 11 percent per annum. The expected inflation rate for the next
50 years is likely to be 3 percent.
What proportion of his salary income should Jai Prakash save till he retires so that he
can meet his post-retirement financial goals?
Solution:
His salary income at the time of retirement
=
900,000 x (1.10)15
=
3,759,523.
50 percent thereof is Rs. 1,879,762
To have an annuity of Rs. 1,879,762 for 20 years, the amount that should be
accumulated at the time of retirement is
=
=
=
=
=
=
1,879,762 PVIFA( Real rate of interest, 20 yrs)

1,879,762 PVIFA[ {(1.11/1.03) 1}, 20 yrs]
1,879,762 PVIFA( 7.77%, 20 yrs)
1,879,762 x [ 1-1/(1.0777)15]/0.0777
1,879,762 x 8.6810
16,318,214
To bequeath Rs. 15 million at the age of 80 years, the amount that should be accumulated
at the time of retirement is
=
=
=
15,000,000 PVIF( 11 %, 20 yrs)

15,000,000 x 0.124
1,860,000
Therefore the total amount that should be accumulated

=
16,318,214+ 1,860,000 = 18,178,214
Out of the above the amount contributed by the investment of the financial asset of Rs.
700,000 for 15 years
=
=
700,000 x (1.11)15
3,349,213
So the salary savings alone should cumulate to

=
18,178,214 - 3,349,213
14,829,001
We have Present Value Interest Factor for the Growing annuity

=
=
[1-{(1+0.10)/(1+0.11)}15] / ( 0.11 0.10)

12.6937
Therefore the Future Value Interest Factor for the growing annuity
=
12.6937 x (1+0.11)15 = 60.7341
Let A be the amount that should be saved from the first salary. For the salary savings
annuity to cumulate to Rs. 14,829,001 in 15 years, we should have
A
=
=
14,829,001/ 60.7341
Rs. 244,163
So the proportion of his salary income that Jai Prakash should save till he retires so that
he can meet his post-retirement financial goals
=
244,163/ 900,000 = 0.2713 or 27.13 %

According to the Rule of 72 at 6 percent interest rate doubling takes place

0.35 + 69 / Interest rate

5000 x 14.487 + 2000 x 8.923

A x FVIFA (10%, 5years)

So, A = 2,000,000 / 6.105
