1. Consider a stock paying a final dividend of Rs 2 annually that currently sells for Rs. 50.

You purchase the Stock on 1 march 2005 and on same day firm declare the final
dividend. You hold the stock and sell it on 30 April 2008 for Rs. 53. Calculate internal
rate of return (IRR) with appropriate function, if the firm declares interim dividend also
on 30 Nov 2006. Assume that the firm pays the dividend after one month of declaration.

2. Manav is 55 now and plans to retire at age 60, and want to save X rupees so that after
retirement he can withdraw 30000 each year from the account. How much should he save
in the first five years if he expects to earn 8% in PPF? He can plan for any number of
years but 8 years nicely fits into the screen so let us assume that he wants to plan for only
8 years after retirement and wants to “DIE BROKE”. Show calculations with use of
formula and function separately.

3. Suppose you deposit 1000 in an account in year 0, now let us assume that to the initial
deposit of 1,000 this year will be followed by similar deposit at the beginning of years 1,
2, 9. If the account earns 10% how much will you have in the account at the start of year
10? Show you calculation with help of formula and goal seek function.

4. You take a loan of 10,000 at an interest rate of 7 percent per year. The bank wants you to
make a series of payments (EMI) that will pay off the loan and the interest over six years.
Calculate the interest amount borrower would be paying in the EMI of 7th month of 4th
year. Show calculations with use of formula and function separately.

5. Consider a project that has an initial cost of 1,150 and seven subsequent cash flows. The
cash flows for the first year is Rs. 234 and in year 1-7 grow at rate g. Given growth
rate=10% and Discount rate =15%. How does NPV change with change in growth rates
and discount rates? Show your calculation with the use of appropriate function using
growth rate ranging from 0 to 10 with interval of 1 and discount rate ranging from 0 to 20
with interval of 2.

6. You are the marketing executive in a FMCG company which manufactures and markets
