CORPORATE FINANCE

1. Understanding and Usage of the formula: As we know, both the market


value of equity and market capitalization are determined by multiplying the
total number of outstanding shares by the current share price. Next would be
to calculate the market value of debt as we have debentures and bank loans
provided. We will then be using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to
find the cost of equity. Then we would calculate the cost of debt, followed by
the tax rate assumption. Once we have all these calculated, we can determine
WACC for M/s Antara Limited by using the below formula.

WACC = (E/V) * Ke + (D/V) * Kd * (1 - T)


where:
- E/V is the weight of equity in the company's capital structure
- D/V is the weight of debt in the company's capital structure
- The weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which includes ordinary
stock, preferred stock, bonds, and other types of debt, is the average after-
tax cost of capital for a company. WACC is the typical interest rate that a
business anticipates paying to finance its assets.

Procedure/Steps:

Market value of equity = share price * number of shares outstanding

Current shares price (price at year-end) = Rs. 55


Number of shares outstanding = Book value of share capital + retained
earnings
Market value of equity = Rs. 55 * Rs.50,00,000 = Rs. 27,50,00,000

Market value of debt = Debentures + Bank loan

Market value of debt = Rs. 15,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 =Rs. 17,00,000

Cost of equity (Ke)


The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) may be used to estimate it as
follows:

Ke = Rf + β (Rm - Rf)
where:
- Rf is the risk-free rate of return
- β is the beta of the company's stock
- Rm is the market return
The rate of return on government securities, which is now 4%, can be taken
into consideration as the risk-free rate of return in this scenario. The
company's stock has a beta of 0.6. A wide market index, like the Sensex, can
be seen as representative of the market return. Over the previous ten years,
the Sensex has returned an average of 12% annually.

Therefore, the cost of equity can be calculated as follows:

Ke = 4% + 0.6(12% - 4%) = 8.8%

Cost of debt (Kd)

The cost of debt is the interest rate that the company pays on its debt. In this
case, the cost of debt is 8% for the debentures and the interest rate on the
bank loan is not specified. However, we can assume that the interest rate on
the bank loan is 10%, which is the current prime lending rate in India.
Therefore, the weighted average cost of debt can be calculated as follows:

Kd = (1500000/1700000) * 8% + (200000/1700000) * 10% = 8.21%

Tax rate (T)


The tax rate is the percentage of profits that the company pays in taxes. In
this case, we will assume that the tax rate is 30% as per current corporate
taxes in India.

WACC (Weighted Average Capital Cost)

Now that we have all of the necessary information, we can calculate the
WACC for M/s Antara Limited:

The weight of equity and debt can be calculated as follows:


E/V = E / (E + D) = 27500000 / (27500000 + 1700000) = 91.67%
D/V = D / (E + D) = 1700000 / (27500000 + 1700000) = 5.83%

Therefore, the WACC can be calculated as follows:


WACC = (91.67% * 8.8%) + (5.83% * 8.21% * (1 - 0.3)) = 8.39 %

Correct Answer/Interpretation: The WACC for M/s Antara Limited is 8.39 %.


WACC is a crucial tool in valuing the business. Investors can figure out the
present value of the company's future cash flows by computing the WACC.
This is crucial for potential investors in the firm since it enables them to
assess whether the company is cheap or overvalued.
2. Understanding and Usage of the formula: The fundamental distinction
between the phrases gross operating cycle and net operating cycle is that the
former gives a more thorough examination of the entire process of turning
purchased raw materials into sales, while the latter refers to the difference
between paying for inventory and receiving payment. In order to calculate the
Gross Operating Cycle and Net Operating Cycle for Vishal & Co. Ltd., we
need to use the following formulas:

Gross Operating Cycle (GOC) = Average Inventory Holding Period +


Average Receivables Collection Period

Net Operating Cycle (NOC) = Gross Operating Cycle - Average Payables


Deferral Period

Procedure/Steps:

Now we shall compute the various components:

Average Inventory = (Opening Raw Material + Closing Raw Material +


Opening WIP + Closing WIP + Opening Finished Goods + Closing Finished
Goods) / 2

Average Receivables = (Opening Debtors + Closing Debtors) / 2

Average Payables = (Opening Creditors + Closing Creditors) / 2

Average Inventory Holding Period = (Average Inventory / Annual Cost of


Goods Sold) x 360

Average Inventory
= (200,000 + 300,000 + 60,000 + 65,000 + 600,000 + 725,000) / 2
= (1,950,000) / 2
= 975,000

Average Inventory Holding Period


= (975,000 / (3,200,000 + 550,000)) x 360
= (975,000 / 3,750,000) x 360
= 97.5 days

Average Receivables Collection Period = (Average Receivables / Annual


Sales) x 360

Average Receivables
= (250,000 + 215,000) / 2
= 465,000 / 2
= 232,500
Average Receivables Collection Period
= (232,500 / 4,480,000) x 360
=18.75 days

Average Payables Deferral Period = (Average Payables / Annual Cost of


Goods Sold) x 360

Average Payables
= (550,000 + 575,000) / 2
= 1,125,000 / 2
= 562,500

Average Payables Deferral Period


= (562,500 / (3,200,000 + 550,000)) x 360
= (562,500 / 3,750,000) x 360
= 64.8 days

Now, calculate the Gross Operating Cycle (GOC):

GOC = Average Inventory Holding Period + Average Receivables Collection


Period
GOC = 97.5 days + 18.75 days
GOC = 116.25 days

Finally, calculate the Net Operating Cycle (NOC):

NOC = GOC - Average Payables Deferral Period


NOC = 116.25 days - 64.8 days
NOC = 51.45 days

Correct Answer/Interpretation: So, the Gross Operating Cycle for Vishal &
Co. Ltd. is approximately 116.25 days, and the Net Operating Cycle is
approximately 51.45 days.

A. Understanding and Usage of the formula: A stream of monetary flow


is an annuity. A perpetuity is a kind of annuity that is perpetual, lasting
eternally. An unlimited period of time passes while the stream of cash
flows continuously. In order to determine the present value of a
company's cash flows when discounted back at a specific rate, one
utilizes the perpetuity calculation in valuation approaches.

PV = A/I

- Where:

- PV, is the amount to be invested.

- A, is the annual return.

- I, is the interest rate.

Procedure/Steps: Let's calculate as per the data given:

i) To receive Rs. 2,00,000 per annum in perpetuity at an interest rate of


8%:

A = 2,00,000

I = 8%

Then, PV= A/I= 2,00,000/0.08= 25,00,000

So, the amount to be invested is Rs. 25,00,000.

ii) if a growth rate of 3% is expected every year to receive Rs 4,00,000 per


annum in perpetuity at an interest rate of 5%, as per the Gordon Growth
Model the formula we would use for our calculation would be
A
PV =
I−b
b stands for growth rate

so, PV = 4,00,000/ (0.05-0.03) = 2,00,00,000

Correct Answer/Interpretation:

i. To receive Rs. 2,00,000 per annum in perpetuity at an interest rate


of 8%, the amount should be Rs. 25,00,000.

ii. if a growth rate of 3% is expected every year to receive Rs 4,00,000


per annum in perpetuity at an interest rate of 5%, the amount
invested should be Rs. 2,00,00,000
B. Understanding and Usage of the formula: The acid-test ratio and the
current ratio, commonly referred to as the working capital ratio, both
gauge a company's capacity to earn enough cash in the short term to
pay off all obligations should they fall due at once. The acid-test ratio,
however, is seen as being more cautious than the current ratio since its
computation disregards things like inventories, which could be
challenging to swiftly unload.

Procedure/steps:

- Current Assets = Debtors + Cash and Bank + inventory

Current Assets = 5,00,000 + 2,00,000 + 4,00,000 = 11,00,000

- Current Liabilities = Trade Payables + Bank OD

Current Liabilities = 1,50,000 + 50,000 = 2,00,000

Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = 11,00,000 /2,00,000 = 5.5

Acid -Test Ratio = (Cash and Bank + Debtors) / Current Liabilities

Acid -Test Ratio = (5,00,000+2,00,000) / 2,00,000 = 3.5

Correct Answer/Interpretation:
Current Ratio = 5.5, the higher the current ratio, the better debt-paying
capacity is for the company, and the balance sheet is strong.
Acid Test ratio = 3.5, the stronger the ratio, the more liquid the firm is and
the healthier its overall finances are. If the ratio is 3.5, it means that the
company's liquid assets are Rs.3.5 more than its current liabilities.
