ANSWER # 1
A. The above-average current ratio of the corporation which is 5.65 is an indicator that there are many assets that havent been properly managed. The reason for this disparity in particular could be Account Receivables that havent been collected yet which can subsequently boom or exaggerate the assets of that particular corporation.
In this case the average industry ratio is 1.42; therefore, if any given firm or corporation exceeds this figure (e.g. this corporation in this case), that corporation has too much assets such as too much Account Receivables.
B. Determine the sales of a firm with the following financial information:
Given:
Current Ratio = 2.40 Quick Ratio = 1.50 Current Liability = RM 600,000 Inventory Turnover = 6 times
Solution:
Formula: Current Ratio = current Asset/ Current Liability
2.4 = Current Asset/ 600,000 Current Asset= 2.4 X 600,000. Therefore, Current Asset = 1, 440,000
However, we can deduce Inventory through Quick Ratio Formula: Quick Ratio =Current Asset Inventory /Current Liability
1.5 = 1,440,000 X /600,000 (assume inventory as X) 1,440,000 X = 1.5 *600,000 1,440,000 X = 900,000 -X= 900,000 1440,000 Therefore, Inventory =540,000
Having calculated the Inventory, we can find Sales via Inventory Turnover Ratio. Formula: Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold /Inventory
6 (given inventory turnover) = Cost of Goods Sold/ 540,000 Cost of Goods Sold = 6 X 540,000 Cost of Goods Sold = 3,240,000. Sales can be found Cost of Goods Sold/75% (Cost of Goods Sold-Gross Profit Ratio) 3,240,000/ 75% Therefore, Sales=4,320,000
C. Complete the balance sheet and sales information for Edelle Corporation using the following financial data:
Given:
Debt/ Equity = 50% Quick Ratio = 1.40 Total Assets Turnover = 1.60 Days Outstanding = 30 Gross Profit Margin = 25% Inventories Turnover = 4 times
Therefore Total Liabilities and Equity = 25,500 + 25,000 + 26,000 = 76,500 Total Assets = 76, 500
Quick Ratio = Current Assets Inventories/ Current Liabilities = 1.40 Current Assets Inventories = 1.40 X Current Liabilities Current Assets = 1.40 X Current Liabilities + Inventories Current Assets = 1.40 x 25, 500 + 30, 600 Current Assets = 35,700 + 30,600 Therefore, Current assets = 66, 300
Total Assets Turnover = Sales/ Total Assets = 1.60 Sales = 1.60 X Total Assets Sales = 1.60 x 76,500 Therefore, Sales = 122,400
Inventory Turnover = Sales/ Inventory = 4 times Sales = 4 X Inventories 122,400 = 4 x inventories Inventories = 122, 400/4 Therefore, Inventories = 30, 600
Gross Profit Margin = Sales Cost of Sales/Sales = 0.25 122,400 Cost of Sales/122,400 = 0.25 122,400 Cost of Sales = 0.25 (122,400) 122,400 = 30,600 + Cost of Sales Cost of sales = 122, 400 30, 600 Therefore, Cost of Sales = 91,800
The Balance Sheet Cash 25,639.73 Account Payable 25,500 Accounts Receivable 10, 060.27 Common Stock 25,000 Inventory 30, 600.00 Retained Earnings 26,000 Plant & Equipment 10, 200.00 Total Liability & Equity 76,500 Sales 122400 Cost of Sales 91800 ANSWER # 2 A. Question two part A:
Given: D 0 = 6.50 D 0 = Recent Dividend g= 6% g = Growth Rate k s = 14.5% k s = Require Rate Of Return P ^ =Current Value of Stock
Solution P ^ = p 0 = D i /k s g = D 0 (1+g)/ k s g p^ = 6.50 (1+0.06)/0.145 0.06 P ^ = 6.50(1.06)/ 0.085 P ^ = 6.89/0.085 Therefore, Current Value of a Share of DPB Stock = 81.06
C) Question 2 Part C Given: N = 12 yrs x 2 = 24 semiannual FV = 1000 PV = 961.88 Pmt = 75/2 = 37.5 YTM =? Solution We can then notice that: Prince of bond => VB= t=1 2N INT/2/(1 + k d /2) 2 + M/ (1 +k d /2) 2
Given: PV = 200,000 I = 6% = 0.06/12=0.005 payment N = 80yrsX12=360 PMT=? PMT= PV 2(1+i)n/(1+i)-1 PMT=200000 x 0.005(1+005)360/6.02258-1 PMT= 200000 x 0.0301129/5.02258 PMT= 200000 x o.006 PMT=RM 1199.10 Therefore, the PMT= 1,199.10 Schedule of loan for three months

B. Question 4 Part B: Given: Expected Return for The Market = 12% Standard Deviation 20% Risk-Free Rate 8% Required Rate of Return Using SML =?
Solution: By looking into the following data: Stock Beta Ri 1 0.8 12 2 1.2 13 3 0.6 11 We can solve the following;
Stock 1 stock 2 stock 3 Ri = RRF + RPM (bi) Ri = RRF + RPM (bi) Ri= RRF + RPM (bi) = 0.08 + o.12 (0.8) = o.08 + 0.12(1.2) = o.o8+0.12(0.6) = o.176 = 0.224 = 0.152 = 17.6% = 22.4 % = 15.2% Given: A high beta stocks is more volatile than average stock, while low beta stock is less volatile then average stock Therefore, Stock 1 would be recommended to be purchased, because stock has b = 1, an average stock. C. .Question 4 Part C: Because, risk analysis and measurement has became a critical function for portfolio manager and traders, accurate measurement and analysis of risk presents many practical challenges including the choice of risk model pitfalls of portfolio optimization, horizon mismatches and out of sample testing. Measurement risk engines are as follows : Risk calculation Back Testing Model calibration Hypothetical P&L Fair value model VaR model Actual P&L Stressed VaR model Stress Testing Risk reverses
D. Question 4 Part D: In a market dominated by risk averse investors, riskier securities must have higher expected return, as estimated by marginal investor than less risky securities, if this situation does not exist, buying and selling in the market will force it to occur. If you choose less risk investment, you are risk averse. Most investors are needed risk averse and certain the average investors are risk averse with regard to his or her serious money. If the slope changes downward, I suggest to continuous investment because lower rate return hard lower risk.
ANSWER #5
A. Efficiency Market Hypotheses Forms of market efficiency If market is efficiency, r=stock prices will rapidly reflect all available information; there are three forms of market efficiency Weak form efficiency The weak form of the efficiency market hypothesis (EMH), states that all information contained in past price movement is fully reflected in current market price. Semi-strong form efficiency Semi strong from efficiency states that current market price reflects all publicly available information. Strong-from efficiency The strong form efficiency of the EMH states that current market price reflect all pertinent information, where publicly available or privately held.
Market Anomalies Consistent if the stock prices already reflect all publicly available information and hence are fairly priced one can beat the market consistency only by lucky, and it is difficulty. B. Coefficient Correlation Coefficient correlations, if the correlation zeros it is no relation between the two things, if the things are some have positive correlation but if things are different have negative correlation. C. The Assumption of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Based on the Markowitzs mean-variance model, the CAPM inherits all the shortcomings of the letter in addition to its own assumption such as : A. Investors are rational and risk averse B. The markets are perfect, thus taxes, inflation, transaction costs, and short selling restrictions are not taken into account. C. Investors can borrow and lend unlimited amounts at the risk-free rate(erf) D. All assets are infinitely divisible and perfectly liquid. E. Investors have homogenous expectation about asset returns F. Asset return conforms to the normal distribution. G. H. The CAPM is an ex ante model, which means that all of the variables represent Before-the fact expected values. In particular, the beta coefficient used by investors should reflect the expected volatility of a given stocks return versus the return on the market during some future period. However, people generally calculate betas using data from some past period, and then assume that the stocks relative vol atility will be the same in the future as it was in the past.
ANSWER #6
Good Corporate Governance practices connects and holds together fair business practices, which ensures positive workplace management, marketplace responsibility, environmental stewardship, community engagement, and sustained financial performance. This is even more true now as we work worldwide to restore confidence and promote economic growth. Corporate governance refers to the way that boards oversee the running of a company by its managers, and how board members are held accountable to shareowners and the company. This has implications for company behavior not only to shareowners but also to employees, customers, those financing the company, and other stakeholders, including the communities in which the business operates. Research shows that responsible management of environmental, social and governance issues creates a Corporate governance refers to a set of systems and processes to ensure the company is managed to suit the best interest of all the stakeholders" The Corporate Governance structure specifies distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation, such as, the board, managers, shareholders and other stake holders, and spells out the rules and procedures for making decisions on corporate affairs.
