a) Financial forecasting:
Financial forecasting is the process of estimating and predicting future financial outcomes and
performance of a business or organization. It involves analyzing historical data, market trends,
and other relevant factors to make informed projections about future revenues, expenses, and
cash flows. Financial forecasting is crucial for budgeting, strategic planning, and decision-
making. It helps businesses anticipate financial needs, identify potential risks and
opportunities, and evaluate the feasibility of various financial plans or projects.
b) Factoring:
Factoring is a financial arrangement where a company sells its accounts receivable (invoices)
to a third-party financial institution known as a factor at a discounted price. The factor then
assumes the responsibility of collecting the payment from the customers. Factoring helps
businesses improve cash flow by receiving immediate funds for their outstanding invoices,
although at a reduced amount. It provides a solution to the challenge of delayed payment from
customers and allows businesses to access working capital quickly. Factoring can be
particularly beneficial for small businesses or those operating in industries with long payment
cycles.
c) Operating cycle:
The operating cycle is a measure of the time it takes for a company to convert its cash into
inventory, sell the inventory, and collect the cash from customers. It starts with the purchase of
raw materials or inventory, goes through the production or manufacturing process, and ends
with the collection of accounts receivable from the sale of finished goods. The length of the
operating cycle is influenced by factors such as production time, inventory turnover, credit
terms, and the efficiency of the sales and collection process. A shorter operating cycle
indicates better cash flow management and working capital efficiency.
d) Trading on equity:
Trading on equity, also known as financial leverage, is a financial strategy where a company
uses borrowed funds (debt) to finance its operations or investments with the expectation of
generating higher returns for its shareholders. By utilizing debt, a company can amplify its
profits if the return on investment exceeds the cost of borrowing. This approach allows
companies to benefit from the concept of leverage, where a small increase in the company's
profitability leads to a larger increase in earnings per share for shareholders. However, trading
on equity also increases the risk as higher interest payments need to be made regardless of the
profitability of the investments. It requires careful consideration of the company's financial
stability and ability to service the debt.
Q3) The following is the Balance Sheet of Global India Pvt. Ltd .., Ahmednagar as
on 31st March 2022. [10]
Balance Sheet as on 31.03.2022.
Liabilities Amount Assets Amount
Share capital 2,00,000 Land and Building 1,40,000
Profit and loss A/C 30,000 Plant and Machinery 3,50,000
General Reserve 40,000 Stock in Trade 2,00,000
12% Debenture 4,20,000 Debtors 1,00,000
Creditors 1,00,000 Bills Receivable 10,000
Bills payable 50,000 Bank 40,000
Total 8,40,000 Total 8,40,000
Calculate:
1) Current Ratio.
2) Quick Ratio.
3) Inventory to working capital.
4) Debt to Equity.
5) Proprietary Ratio.
To calculate the given ratios, we need to use the information provided in the Balance Sheet of
Global India Pvt. Ltd. as on 31st March 2022.
1) Current Ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
2) Quick Ratio:
Quick Ratio (or Acid-Test Ratio) = (Current Assets - Stock in Trade) / Current Liabilities
4) Debt to Equity:
Debt to Equity = Total Debt / Shareholders' Equity
5) Proprietary Ratio:
Proprietary Ratio (or Equity Ratio) = Shareholders' Equity / Total Assets
Total Assets = Land and Building + Plant and Machinery + Stock in Trade + Debtors + Bills
Receivable + Bank
Total Assets = 1,40,000 + 3,50,000 + 2,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 10,000 + 40,000 = 8,40,000
Please note that the ratios are calculated based on the provided information.
To calculate the given ratios, we need to use the information provided in the Balance Sheet of
Amrish Ltd. as on 31st March 2022.
i) Current Ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
v) Proprietary Ratio:
Proprietary Ratio (or Equity Ratio) = Shareholders' Equity / Total Assets
Total Assets = Goodwill + Plant and Machinery + Land and Building + Further + Inventory +
Bills Receivable + Debtor + Bank + Short-term Investment
Total Assets = 5,00,000 + 6,00,000 + 7,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 6,00,000 + 30,000 + 1,50,000 +
2,00,000 + 20,000 = 28,00,000
Please note that the ratios are calculated based on the provided information.
To calculate the payback period, net present value (NPV), and profitability index for the
investment project, we need to use the projected cash inflows and the discount rate.
i) Payback Period:
The payback period is the time taken for the initial investment to be recovered from the cash
inflows.
Year 1: 3,00,000
Year 2: 3,00,000
Year 3: 4,50,000
Year 4: 4,50,000
Year 5: 7,50,000
To calculate the payback period, we sum up the cash inflows until they equal or exceed the
initial investment.
Payback Period = Year 3 + (Initial Investment - Cumulative Cash Inflow at the end of Year 3)
/ Cash Inflow in Year 4
NPV = 4,45,117.35
PI = 16,45,117.35 / 12,00,000
PI = 1.37
Please note that the calculations are based on the given projected cash inflows and a discount
rate of 10%.
To calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for the proposals X and Y, we need to use the
cash inflows for each proposal and the initial investment of A15,00,000.
For Proposal X:
Year 1: 1,00,000
Year 2: 2,50,000
Year 3: 3,50,000
Year 4: 5,50,000
Year 5: 7,50,000
For Proposal Y:
Year 1: 6,50,000
Year 2: 6,00,000
Year 3: 6,00,000
Year 4: 5,75,000
Year 5: 5,25,000
We can calculate the IRR by using a trial and error method or by using financial software or
calculators. In this case, let's use a trial and error method:
For Proposal X:
IRR of Proposal X = Rate of Return that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) equal to zero.
Using the cash inflows and the initial investment, we can calculate the NPV for various
discount rates until we find the rate that makes the NPV equal to zero.
For Proposal Y:
IRR of Proposal Y = Rate of Return that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) equal to zero.
Using the cash inflows and the initial investment, we can calculate the NPV for various
discount rates until we find the rate that makes the NPV equal to zero.
To calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for Gaurav Ltd., we need to
consider the weights of each source of capital and their respective costs.
Given information:
Equity capital: 10,00,000 (Expected dividend rate: 12%)
Preference share: 5,00,000 (Cost: 10%)
Loan: 15,00,000 (Cost: 8%)
Tax rate: 50%
Step 2: Calculate the cost of each source of capital after considering the tax rate.
Cost of equity capital after tax = Expected dividend rate * (1 - Tax rate)
Cost of equity capital after tax = 12% * (1 - 0.5) = 0.06 (or 6%)
Cost of preference share after tax = Cost of preference share * (1 - Tax rate)
Cost of preference share after tax = 10% * (1 - 0.5) = 0.05 (or 5%)
WACC = (Equity capital weight * Cost of equity capital after tax) + (Preference share weight
* Cost of preference share after tax) + (Loan weight * Cost of loan after tax)
Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for Gaurav Ltd. is approximately
4.78125%.
To calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), we need to consider the book
value of each source of capital and their respective specific costs.
Given information:
Equity share: Book value = 25,00,000, Specific cost = 11%
Preference share: Book value = 18,00,000, Specific cost = 13%
Bank loan: Book value = 13,00,000, Specific cost = 10%
Weighted cost of equity share = Equity share weight * Specific cost of equity share
Weighted cost of equity share = 0.4464 * 11% = 0.49104 (or 4.9104%)
Weighted cost of preference share = Preference share weight * Specific cost of preference
share
Weighted cost of preference share = 0.3214 * 13% = 0.04182 (or 4.182%)
Weighted cost of bank loan = Bank loan weight * Specific cost of bank loan
Weighted cost of bank loan = 0.2321 * 10% = 0.02321 (or 2.321%)
Q5) The Board of Directors of sarthak limited request you to prepare a statement
showing the working capital requirements for a level of activity of 30,000

[5860] - 202 5
a) Past experience indicates that raw materials are held in stock, on an
average for 2 months.
b) Work in progress (100% complete in regard to materials and 50% for
labour and overhead) will be half a month’s production.
c) Finished goods are in stock on an average for 1 month.
d) Credit allowed to supplier : 1 month.
e) Credit allowed to debtors : 2 month.
f) A minimum cash balance of A 25,000 is expected to be maintained.
Prepare a statement of working capital requirements
Given information:
Activity level: 30,000 units of output
Cost structure per unit:
- Raw materials: RS 20
- Direct labor: RS 5
- Overheads: RS 15
- Profit: RS 10
- Selling price: RS 50
Based on the provided information, we can calculate the working capital requirements as
follows:
1. Raw Materials:
Raw materials required per unit = Raw materials cost per unit = RS 20
Raw materials required for the year = Raw materials required per unit * Activity level = RS 20
* 30,000 = RS 6,00,000
Considering that raw materials are held in stock, on average, for 2 months:
Raw materials holding period = 2 months
Raw materials holding cost = Raw materials required for the year * Raw materials holding
period = RS 6,00,000 * 2 = RS 12,00,000
2. Work in Progress:
Work in progress (WIP) is 100% complete in regard to materials and 50% complete for labor
and overheads. It will be half a month's production.
WIP for half a month's production = (Raw materials required for the year + Direct labor cost
per unit + Overheads cost per unit) * Activity level / 2
WIP = (RS 20 + RS 5 + RS 15) * 30,000 / 2 = RS 20 * 30,000 / 2 = RS 3,00,000
3. Finished Goods:
Finished goods are held in stock on average for 1 month.
4. Credit Terms:
Credit allowed to suppliers: 1 month
Credit allowed to debtors: 2 months
Based on the calculations above, the statement of working capital requirements for the year is
as follows:
Please note that this statement represents the working capital requirements based on the given
information and assumptions. Actual working capital requirements may vary depending on
factors such as business operations, market conditions, and management policies.
To calculate the working capital requirement of RJM Ltd, we need to consider the various
components involved in the working capital cycle, such as raw materials, work in progress,
finished goods, credit terms, and delays in payment of wages and overheads.
Given information:
Output: 60,000 units per annum
Cost structure per unit:
- Raw material: Rs 800
- Direct labor: Rs 300
- Overheads: Rs 600
- Profit: Rs 300
- Selling price: Rs 2000
Based on the provided information, we can calculate the working capital requirement as
follows:
1. Raw Materials:
Raw materials required per unit = Raw materials cost per unit = Rs 800
Raw materials required for the year = Raw materials required per unit * Output = Rs 800 *
60,000 = Rs 48,00,000
WIP for half a month's production = (Raw materials required per unit + Direct labor cost per
unit + Overheads cost per unit) * Output / 2
WIP = (Rs 800 + Rs 300 + Rs 600) * 60,000 / 2 = Rs 1700 * 60,000 / 2 = Rs 51,00,000
3. Finished Goods:

To calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for Myra Ltd., we need to
consider the cost of each source of capital and their respective weights in the capital structure.
The WACC is the average rate of return required by the company to finance its operations.
The formula to calculate WACC is as follows:
Where:
E = Market value of equity
V = Total market value of equity + total market value of debt
Ke = Cost of equity
P = Market value of preference shares
Kp = Cost of preference shares
D = Market value of debt
Kd = Cost of debt
Tax Rate = Corporate tax rate
Given information:
Equity Share Capital: 20,000 shares, Market price = ₹20 per share, Dividend = ₹2 per share,
Growth rate = 7%
Preference Shares: 6% dividend rate
Debentures: 8% interest rate
Tax Rate: 40%
Calculations:
Market value of equity (E) = Total number of equity shares * Market price per share
E = 20,000 * ₹20 = ₹4,00,000
Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for Myra Ltd. is 7.81%.
