Q

what is dividend cover

A

dividend cover is profit over dividend formula is

Dividend cover = Profit/dividend

Higher times means company pay less dividend

The investor of this company will earn less dividend but will be benefitted in form of capital gain when he will sell the shares.

Q

what if in the question you are provided with market value of the preference shares and nominal rate but they won’t say anything about the period of redemption?

A

well if the market value is low and high then it is obvious that effective rate would be according to it because let’s say that the market rate is higher than the nominal rate of preference shares then other person would not buy it face value rather at discount rate this would make the effective rate higher and further if period is not given then it is understood that it is indefinite period.

Q

What is the alternative method of calculating the WACC? what are the preconditions

A

WACC = PBIT/Total MV

if there is a tax then PBIT(1-t)
Total MV = Equity + Debt
Preconditions are
100% profit is distributable
Debt is irredeemable

18
Q

in what cases the wacc will be changed by investing in new project?

A

when the project is large the capital structure changes

and when project has different business risk

19
Q

what are the conditions when the existing wacc of the company equals to new wacc when company issues debt or equity to finance the project?

A

this is only possible if;

  • Business risk does not change
  • Financial risk does not change.
20
Q

which companies total risk will remain same

A

companies operating in the same sector and having same debt to equity ratio

21
Q

what are the assumption of MM theory if the level of gearing is increased if taxation is ignored

A

cost of equity increases as gearing increases to compensate shareholders for the increased risk associated with borrowing

as the level of gearing increases there is a greater proportion of cheaper debt capital in the capital structure of the company

as gearing increases the net effect of the greater proportion of cheaper debt and higher cost of equity in that WACC remains unchanged.

22
Q

what is the first and 2nd preposition of MM theory without taxes.

A

WACC is constant at all levels of gearing for companies with identical profits and same business risk

cost of equity rises as the gearing increases and cost of equity will rise to the level such that given no change in debt, the WACC remains constant.

23
Q

what is the formula of MM theory without taxes

A

WACCg = WACCu

or

KeG = Keu + (Keu-Kd) D/E

24
Q

what is the MV of geared company if MV ungeared co and Debt is give

A

MVg = MVu + D x T

that MVg will be total market value and D*T represents the PV of tax savings discounted at Kd

[DKdTax rate]/kd

25
Q

How calculate the MV of equity of geared company if you have calculated the total MV with this formula MVg = MVu + D x T and can I calculate the Ke if dividend is given?

A

before loan equity = 46,667
loan paid off = (20000)
tax savings = 6000 [20000*30%]

YES My Dvd/Mv(calculated above)

26
Q

what is the formula to calculate the KEg with MM theory with taxes

A

Keg = Keu +(Keu-Kd)x D(1-t)/E

27
Q

how to calculate the WACCg if WACCu is given

A

there are two ways
1.WACCg = WACCu x (1-DxT)/E+D)

and other is
2. PBIT(1-t)/Total market value

28
Q

capm formula

A

Ke of A = Rf+(Ra-Rf)*beta

beta = CoVam*stand dev A/Stand dev ma

or
premium of A/premium of market

29
Q

what is treynor ratio formula

A

the ratio measures the risk premium of the portfolio where the risk premium is the difference between the return and risk free rate and the risk premium is related to the amount of systematic risk present in the portfolio.

(expected return or return on portfolio - Rf)/Beta

30
Q

what is Sharpe ratio

A

(Expected return on Portfolio or return on Port - Rf)/risk on portfolio

it measure the risk premium of portfolio relative to the total amount of risk in the portfolio
also called reward to variability ratio

31
Q

how the portfolio beta is calculated?

A

(investment x beta ) for each given investment divided by the sum of investment

32
Q

what to do when value of portfolio is asked at the year end

A

Just simply compound each investment with Ke or expected return calculated as per CAPM formula for one year

50 x (1+26%) = 63

33
Q

what if the valuation of security is given at the year end then how to calculate the value of investment at year end

A

find ke
then, ke-dividend yield = growth rate

then, compound investment cost for one year with this growth rate

34
Q

alternative formula to calculate the Beta when playing with COva and correlation

A

CoVam = Sam x SDa x SDm

Sam = CoVam/(SDa x SDm)

Beta = SDa x Sam/Sdm

alternatively
Beta = CoVam/SDm^2

35
Q

how to gear up the beta asset and why we do that?

A

the beta asset represents the volatility of returns or systematic return of security in relation to the market. we gear up the beta to find what would be the beta equity for the company if we introduce the debt finance

Ba = Be x D/(E+D)

36
Q

how to calculate the portfolio beta?

A
  1. find the Keg using capm formula with beta equity(derived)
  2. multiply the investment with (1 + Keg)-dividend
    3.mulitply the calculated beta in step 1 with investment calculated in step 2 and divide the answer with answer in step 2
37
Q

write different ways in which beta can be calculated

A

Beta = systematic risk of A/Market risk
Systematic risk = Correlation x Security risk

Beta = Covariance between Market and security / Market risk ^2

Risk premium of A/ Risk Premium of market
Expected return - Rf/Market return- Rf

38
Q

How the TERP is calculated?

A

The TERP is the price of the share after issuing the right shares and the right shares are normally issued at lower than the cum right price of the share

it is calculated just like the wacc

39
Q

what is base case NPV

A

base case NPV is calculated by DCF assuming that the project is financed entirely by equity which is Keu and which can be calculated using CAPM formula with Beta Asset or WACCg = Keu x (1- Dxt/E+D)
