Question 1
Why should the duration of a coupon carrying bond always be less than the time to its maturity?
(3 Marks) (June 2009) (S)
Answer
Duration is nothing but the average time taken by an investor to collect his/her investment. If an investor
receives a part of his/her investment over the time on specific intervals before maturity, the investment will
offer him the duration which would be lesser than the maturity of the instrument. Higher the coupon rate,
lesser would be the duration.
Question 2
Mention the various techniques used in economic analysis.

(4 Marks) (May 2011)

Answer
Some of the techniques used for economic analysis are:
(a)

Anticipatory Surveys: They help investors to form an opinion about the future state of the
economy. It incorporates expert opinion on construction activities, expenditure on plant and
machinery, levels of inventory all having a definite bearing on economic activities. Also future
spending habits of consumers are taken into account.

(b)

Barometer/Indicator Approach: Various indicators are used to find out how the economy shall
perform in the future. The indicators have been classified as under:
(1)

Leading Indicators: They lead the economic activity in terms of their outcome. They relate to
the time series data of the variables that reach high/low points in advance of economic
activity.

(2)

Roughly Coincidental Indicators: They reach their peaks and troughs at approximately the
same in the economy.

(3)

Lagging Indicators: They are time series data of variables that lag behind in their
consequences vis-a- vis the economy. They reach their turning points after the economy
has reached its own already.
All these approaches suggest direction of change in the aggregate economic activity but
nothing about its magnitude.

Economic Model Building Approach: In this approach, a precise and clear relationship between
dependent and independent variables is determined. GNP model building or sectoral analysis is
used in practice through the use of national accounting framework.

Question 3
Write short notes on Zero coupon bonds.

(4 Marks) (May 2012)

Answer
As name indicates these bonds do not pay interest during the life of the bonds. Instead, zero coupon
bonds are issued at discounted price to their face value, which is the amount a bond will be worth when
it matures or comes due. When a zero coupon bond matures, the investor will receive one lump sum
(face value) equal to the initial investment plus interest that has been accrued on the investment made.
The maturity dates on zero coupon bonds are usually long term. These maturity dates allow an investor
for a long range planning. Zero coupon bonds issued by banks, government and private sector
companies. However, bonds issued by corporate sector carry a potentially higher degree of risk,
depending on the financial strength of the issuer and longer maturity period, but they also provide an
opportunity to achieve a higher return.
Question 4
Explain briefly the capital Asset pricing model used in the context of valuation of securities.
(6 Marks) (November 2009)(M)
Answer
CAPM- Portfolio theories have undergone major changes over the years. The current standard in
valuation theory is found in the CAPM. It is an economic noted that describes how securities are priced
in the market. Its major merit lies in recognizing the difference or distinction between risk of holding a
single asset and holding a portfolio.

The CAPM formula:


E (Rp) = Rf + p [ E(Rm) Rf ]
Where:
E (Rp)

= Expected return of portfolio

Rf

= Risk free rate of Return

= Port folio Beta

E(Rm)

= Expected return on Market portfolio

The CAPM formula is based on certain assumptions regarding rationality and homogeneity of investors
etc. and is subjected to criticism on this score.

Note: There is a scope for assumptions regarding the rates (in terms of percentage for every one time
of difference between Sun Ltd. and Industry Average) of risk premium involved with respect to Interest
and Fixed Dividend Coverage and Capital Gearing Ratio. The below solution has been worked out by
assuming the risk premium as:
(i)

1% for every one time of difference for Interest and Fixed Dividend Coverage.

(ii)

2% for every one time of difference for Capital Gearing Ratio.

(a) Interest and fixed dividend coverage of Sun Ltd. is 2.16 times but the industry
average is 3 times. Therefore, risk premium is added to Sun Ltd. Shares @ 1%
for every 1 time of difference.
Risk Premium = 3.00 2.16 (1%) = 0.84 (1%) = 0.84%
(b) Capital Gearing ratio of Sun Ltd. is 0.93 but the industry average is 0.75 times.
Therefore, risk premium is added to Sun Ltd. shares @ 2% for every 1 time of
difference.

the Finance Manager, beta is likely to increase to 1.75. Find out the present as well as the likely value
of the share after the decision.
(6 Marks) (May 2005)
Answer
In order to find out the value of a share with constant growth model, the value of Ke should be ascertained
with the help of CAPM model as follows:
Ke = Rf + (Km Rf)
Where,
Ke = Cost of equity
Rf = Risk free rate of return
= Portfolio Beta i.e. market sensitivity index
Km = Expected return on market portfolio
By substituting the figures, we get
Ke = 0.09 + 1.5 (0.13 0.09) = 0.15 or 15%
and the value of the share as per constant growth model is

P0

D1
(k e - g)

Where,
P0 = Price of a share
D1 = Dividend at the end of the year 1
Ke = Cost of equity
G = growth

P0 =

P0 =

= ` 25.00

However, if the decision of finance manager is implemented, the beta () factor is likely to increase to 1.75

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India

(3+3 Marks) (November 2011)

Strategic Financial Management

Answer
(i)

As per the conversion terms 1 Debenture = 10 equity share and since face value of one
debenture is ` 5000 the value of equity share becomes ` 500 (5000/10).
The conversion terms can also be expressed as: 1 Debenture of ` 500 = 1 equity share.
The cost of buying ` 500 debenture (one equity share) is:

Market Price of share is ` 430. Hence conversion premium in percentage is:

The conversion value can be calculated as follows:


Conversion value

= Conversion ratio X Market Price of Equity Shares

` 15,00,000. The company has ` 1,00,00,000 of invested capital, of which 60% is debt. In addition,
Delta Ltd. tries to maintain a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of 12.6%.
(i)

Compute the operating income or EBIT earned by Delta Ltd. in the current year.

(ii)

What is Delta Ltd.s Economic Value Added (EVA) for the current year?

(iii)

Delta Ltd. has 2,50,000 equity shares outstanding. According to the EVA you computed in (ii),
how much can Delta pay in dividend per share before the value of the company would start to
decrease? If Delta does not pay any dividends, what would you expect to happen to the value of
the company?
(8 Marks) (November 2010) (S)

Answer
(i)

Taxable income = Net Income /(1 0.40)


or, Taxable income = ` 15,00,000/(1 0.40) = ` 25,00,000
Again, taxable income = EBIT Interest
or, EBIT

= Taxable Income + Interest


= ` 25,00,000 + ` 15,00,000 = ` 40,00,000

(ii)

EVA = EBIT (1 T) (WACC Invested capital)


= ` 40,00,000 (1 0.40) (0.126 ` 1,00,00,000)
= ` 24,00,000 ` 12,60,000 = ` 11,40,000

(iii) EVA Dividend = ` 11,40,000/2,50,000 = ` 4.56


If Delta Ltd. does not pay a dividend, we would expect the value of the firm to increase because it will
achieve higher growth, hence a higher level of EBIT. If EBIT is higher, then all else equal, the value of
the firm will increase.

Abhishek Ltd. has a surplus cash of ` 90 lakhs and wants to distribute 30% of it to the shareholders.
The Company decides to buyback shares. The Finance Manager of the Company estimates that its
share price after re-purchase is likely to be 10% above the buyback price; if the buyback route is taken.
The number of shares outstanding at present is 10 lakhs and the current EPS is ` 3.
You are required to determine:
(a)

The price at which the shares can be repurchased, if the market capitalization of the company
should be ` 200 lakhs after buyback.

(b)

The number of shares that can be re-purchased.

(c)

The impact of share re-purchase on the EPS, assuming the net income is same.
(6 Marks) (May 2006)

Answer
(a)

Let P be the buyback price decided by Abhishek Ltd.


Market Capitalisation After Buyback:
1.1 P (Original Shares Shares Bought back)

= 1.1P (10 Lakhs

30% of 90 lakhs

= 11 Lakhs x P 27 lakhs x 1.1= 11 lakhs x P 29.7 lakhs


Market capitalization rate after buyback is 200 lakhs.
Thus, we have:
11 Lakhs x P 29.7 lakhs = `200 lakhs
or 11P = 200 + 29.7
or P =

(i)

If he wants a yield of 13% what is the maximum price he should be ready to pay for?

(ii)

If the Bond is selling for ` 97.60, what would be his yield?


(4 Marks) (November 2009) (S)

Answer
(i)

Calculation of Maximum price


Bo

= ` 11 PVIFA (13%,3) + ` 100 PVIF (13%,3)


= ` 11 2.361 + ` 100 0.693 = ` 25.97 + ` 69.30 = ` 95.27

(ii)

Calculation of yield
At 12% the value

= ` 11 PVIFA (12%,3) + 100 PVIF (12%,3)


= ` 112.402 + ` 1000.712 = ` 26.42 + ` 71.20 = ` 97.62

It the bond is selling at ` 97.60 which is more than the fair value, the YTM of the bond would be
less than 13%. This value is almost equal to the amount price of ` 97.60. Therefore, the YTM of
the bond would be 12%.

Calculate Market Price of:
(i)

10% Government of India security currently quoted at ` 110, but interest rate is expected to go up
by 1%.

(ii)

A bond with 7.5% coupon interest, Face Value ` 10,000 & term to maturity of 2 years, presently
yielding 6% . Interest payable half yearly.
(5 Marks) (November 2010) (S)

Answer
(i)

Current yield = (Coupon Interest / Market Price) X 100


(10/110) X 100 = 9.09%
If current yield go up by 1% i.e. 10.09 the market price would be
10.09 = 10 / Market Price X 100
Market Price = ` 99.11

(ii)

Market Price of Bond = P.V. of Interest + P.V. of Principal


= ` 1,394 + ` 8,885 = ` 10,279

Question 39
Find the current market price of a bond having face value ` 1,00,000 redeemable after 6 year maturity
with YTM at 16% payable annually and duration 4.3202 years. Given 1.166 = 2.4364.
(6 Marks) (May 2007)
Answer
The formula for the duration of a coupon bond is as follows:
=

1+ YTM (1+ YTM) + t ( c - YTM)


YTM
c ( 1+ YTM)t -1 + YTM

Where YTM = Yield to Maturity


c= Coupon Rate
t= Years to Maturity
Accordingly, since YTM =0.16 and t= 6
4.3202 =

1.16 1.16 + 6(c 0.16)


0.16 c ( 1.16)6 -1 + 0.16

4.3202= 7.25 -

1.16 + ( 6c - 0.96)
1.4364c + 0.16

1.16 6c 0.96
2.9298
1.4364 c 0.16

0.2 + 6c = 4.20836472 c + 0.468768


1.79163528c = 0.268768
C = 0.150012674

c = 0.15

Where c = Coupon rate


Therefore, current price = `(1,00,000/- x 0.15 x 3.685 + 1,00,000/- x 0.410) = `96,275/-.

Question 48
M/s Transindia Ltd. is contemplating calling ` 3 crores of 30 years, ` 1,000 bond issued 5 years ago
with a coupon interest rate of 14 per cent. The bonds have a call price of ` 1,140 and had initially
collected proceeds of ` 2.91 crores due to a discount of ` 30 per bond. The initial floating cost was `
3,60,000. The Company intends to sell ` 3 crores of 12 per cent coupon rate, 25 years bonds to raise
funds for retiring the old bonds. It proposes to sell the new bonds at their par value of ` 1,000. The
estimated floatation cost is ` 4,00,000. The company is paying 40% tax and its after cost of debt is 8
per cent. As the new bonds must first be sold and their proceeds, then used to retire old bonds, the
company expects a two months period of overlapping interest during which interest must be paid on
both the old and new bonds. What is the feasibility of refunding bonds? (10 Marks) (November 2005)

Hence expected market price is ` 960.26 ` 26.142 = ` 934.118
Hence, the market price will decrease
This portion can also be alternatively done as follows

Question 51
(a)

Consider two bonds, one with 5 years to maturity and the other with 20 years to maturity. Both the
bonds have a face value of ` 1,000 and coupon rate of 8% (with annual interest payments) and
both are selling at par. Assume that the yields of both the bonds fall to 6%, whether the price of
bond will increase or decrease? What percentage of this increase/decrease comes from a change
in the present value of bonds principal amount and what percentage of this increase/decrease
comes from a change in the present value of bonds interest payments?

(b)

Consider a bond selling at its par value of ` 1,000, with 6 years to maturity and a 7% coupon rate
(with annual interest payment), what is bonds duration?

(c)

If the YTM of the bond in (b) above increases to 10%, how it affects the bonds duration? And
why?
(8+6+3 Marks) (June 2009)(S)

Answer
(a)

If the yield of the bond falls the price will always increase. This can be shown by following
calculation.
IF YIELD FALLS TO 6%
Price of 5yr. bond
` 80 (PVIFA 6%, 5yrs.)

+ ` 1000 (PVIF 6%, 5yrs.)

` 80 (4.212)+ ` 1000 (0.747)


` 336.96 + ` 747.00 = ` 1,083.96
Increase in 5 years bond price = ` 83.96
Current price of 20 year bond
` 80 (PVIFA 6%, 20) + ` 1,000 (PVIF 6%, 20)
` 80 (11.47) + ` 1,000 (0.312)
` 917.60 + ` 312.00 = ` 1229.60
