BONDS:The firm has a Rs.1,000 par value bond with a 9 percent coupon interest rate outstanding. The bond has 12 years remaining to its maturity date.STOCKS:The firm ’s common stock currently pays an annual dividend of Rs.1.80 per share.The required return on the common stock is 12 percent.
 
REQUIRED:
Bonds:

B.Using the 10 percent required return,find the bond ’s value when interest is paid semiannually Stock: 
Estimate the value of common stock under each of the following dividend-growth-rate assumptions: 
A.Dividends are expected to grow at a constant annual rate of 5 percent to infinity.
B.Dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 5 percent for each of the next 3 years followed by a constant annual growth rate of 4 percent in years 4 to infinity.

Solution:-
Question#1 Solution:

Bond Valuation
Part a)
Bond value = c [1 – 1/(1+r)^n] / r + Par/(1+r)^n
Bond value = 90 [1 – 1/(1+0.10)^12] / 0.10 + 1000/(1+0.10)^12
Bond Value = 90 [1 – 0.3186 /0.10] + 1000/3.1384
Bond value = 90 (6.814) + 318.63
Bond value = 613.26 +318.63
Bond Value = 931


Part b)
Bond value = c [1 – 1/(1+r)^n ]/ r + Par/(1+r)^n
Bond value = 45 [1 – 1/(1+0.05)^24 / 0.05 + 1000/(1+0.05)^24
Bond Value = 45 [1 – 0.3100 /0.05] + 1000/3.2250
Bond value = 45 (13.8) + 310.07
Bond value = 621 +310.
Bond Value = 931


Part a)
P = Div(1+g)/rF +rP – g

D = 1.80
Rce = rF +rP = 12%
g = 5%

P = 1.80 (1+0.05) / 12% - 5%
P = 1.80 (1.05) / 7%
P = 1.89/0.07
P = 27

Part b)
Div1= Do(1+g)3
Div1= 1.80 (1+0.05)3
Div1= 1.80 (1.1576)
Div1 = 2.083

P0 = D0 x (1 + g)/(R – g)
P0= 2.083 x 1.04/(0.12 – 0.04)
P0= 2.166 / 0.08
P0= 27.075
QUESTION #2 Marks 10)
A commercial bank has following data:
Total assets valued Rs.1,000,000
Item Assets Liabilities
Interest rate sensitive 30%40%
Interest rate non-sensitive 70%60%
Initial interest rate 10%7%
Interest rate increase 2%both in assets and liability
Required
What will be the net interest profit increase /decrease due to the interest rate change your answer should be in absolute amount.

Solution:-

Assets
Liabilities
Interest rate sensitive
300000
400000
Not interest rate sensitive
700000
600000
Initial interest rate
10%
7%
New increased interest rate on interest rate sensitive assets & liabilities
12%
9%
Revenue from Assets
Revenue from Liabilities
At initial interest rate
(0.10×300000)+(0.10×700000)
=100000
(0.07×400000)+(0.07×600000)
=70000
After an increase in interest rate
(0.12×300000)+(0.10×700000)
=106000
(0.09×400000)+(0.07×600000)
=78000
Profits at an initial interest rate:
Profit = (100000) – (70000) = 30000
Profits after an increase in interest rate:
Profit = (106000) – (78000)=28000
Gap Analysis Gap between interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities = (Interest rate sensitive assets of 300000) – (Interest rate sensitive liabilities Of 400000) =(Gap of - 100000)

actual cost of a product and its selling price - they represent the sum of all
valuable qualities of a product to the consumer
2. successful branding programs begin with superior products and services, backed by excellent customer service that permeates an entire organization.
3. say if I am able to  build

those who are in the age of  14- 22 years , and a secondary market for those people who age ranges  22 to 40 years .

GDB # 2 MGT603 - Strategic Management

BCG MATRIX:



The below table illustrates that an organization is composed of four divisions with annual sales ranging from $15,000 to $70,000. Division 2 has the greatest sales volume while on the other hand division 4 has the lowest sales volume.

You have been also given market share and growth rate of each division. By developing the BCG Matrix on your rough paper, you have to only identify which division falls in which quadrant (stars, question marks, cash cows and dogs)?



Division Revenue Profits Market share Growth Rate
1 $50,000 $5,000 0.4 +10
2 $70,000 $11,000 0.8 +15

MGT402 Assignment # 2

Solution Question No. 1 
Part-1 
Delta Corporation 
Income Statement (Under Absorption Costing System) 
For the Quarter Ending -------------
 
(Rupees) 
Sales (20,000 * 30) 600,000 
Less: Cost of Goods Sold 
Opening Stock 0 
Add: Production Cost (15.50 * 24,000) 372,000 
Less: Closing Stock (15.50 * 4,000) (62,000) 310,000
Gross Profit 290,000 
Less: Operating Expenses 
Selling & Administrative Expenses (Fixed) 60,000
Net Profit 230,000 

Working: 
Production Cost (Total) = 80,000+100,000+120,000+72,000 = 372,000 
Per Unit Production Cost = 372,000/24,000 = 15.50 



Part-2Delta Corporation 
Income Statement (Under Direct Costing System) 
For the Quarter Ending ------------- 
(Rupees) 
Sales (20,000 * 30) 600,000 
Less: Variable Cost of Goods Sold 
Opening Stock 0 
Add: Variable Production Cost (12.50 * 24,000) 300,000 
Less: Closing Stock (12.50 * 4,000) (50,000) 250,000 
Gross Profit 350,000 Less: Fixed Expenses 
Factory Over Heads (Fixed) 72,000 
Selling & Administrative (Fixed) 60,000 132,000 
Net Profit 218,000 

Working: 
Total Variable Cost = 80,000+100,000+120,000 = 300,000 
Per Unit Cost (Variable) = 300,000/24,000 = 12.50 
Solution Question No. 2 

Net Profit Calculation (Contribution Margin Approach) 

a) Existing Plan 
(Rupees) 
Sales (100 * 100) 10,000 
Less: Variable Cost (70 * 100) (7,000) 
Contribution Margin 3,000 
Less: Fixed Cost (2,000) 
Net Profit 1,000 



b) New Plan (Increase Sales by 10 Units) 
(Rupees) 
Sales (90 * 110) 9,900 
Less: Variable Cost (70 * 110) (7,700) 
Contribution Margin 2,200 
Less: Fixed Cost (2,350) 
Net Profit / (Loss) (150) 

Working: 
10% of 100 Units = 100 * 10% = 10 
Per Unit Existing Sales Price = 100 
Per Unit Sales Price after 10% Decreased Sales Price = 100 – 10 = 90 

Advice by Management Accountant: 
In this case, the new plan will not be feasible for the company to adopt as if the company adopts the new plan, it will suffer the loss instead of making any profit.
