2. Numerical Questions with Answers
Capital Budgeting
1. Calculate NPV for investment of ■1,50,000 with inflows ■50,000 for 5 years at 10% discount
rate. (Ans: NPV ≈ ■39,620)
2. Project A & B have equal cost. A: NPV = ■30,000, B: NPV = ■40,000. Which project? (Ans:
Project B)
3. Calculate IRR: Initial ■1,00,000; inflow ■30,000 for 5 years. (Ans: ≈ 18%)
4. PI Calculation: PV inflow ■2,20,000, Cost ■2,00,000. (Ans: PI = 1.10, Accept)
5. Payback: Investment ■1,20,000; inflows 40k, 40k, 40k. (Ans: 3 years)
Cost of Capital
1. Cost of equity via Dividend Model: D1=■5, P0=■50, g=5%. (Ans: 15%)
2. After-tax cost of debt: Coupon 10%, tax 30%. (Ans: 7%)
3. WACC: Weights E=60%, D=40%; Ke=14%, Kd(after tax)=8%. (Ans: 11.2%)
4. Cost of Preference: Dividend ■8, Price ■100. (Ans: 8%)
5. Ke via CAPM: Rf=6%, β=1.2, Rm=12%. (Ans: 13.2%)
Leverage Analysis
1. DOL = %∆EBIT/%∆Sales: Sales ↑10%, EBIT ↑20%. (Ans: DOL=2)
2. DFL = %∆EPS/%∆EBIT: EPS ↑30%, EBIT ↑15%. (Ans: DFL=2)
3. DCL = DOL × DFL = 2×3. (Ans: 6)
4. Calculate EBIT break-even: Fixed ■2,00,000; Contribution ■40/unit; Qty=6000. (Ans:
EBIT=■40,000)
5. High leverage means high business risk? (Ans: Yes)
EBIT - EPS Analysis
1. EBIT=■3,00,000; Interest=■1,00,000; Shares=20,000. EPS? (Ans: ■10)
2. Select financing: Debt vs Equity given interest cost (Ans: Choose structure with higher EPS)
3. EBIT Indifference: EBT equal under two capital structures. (Ans: Solve break-even EBIT)
4. EPS at EBIT ■4,00,000: I=■50,000; Tax 30%; Shares=25k (Ans: EPS = ■11.2)
5. Higher debt ↑EPS? (Ans: Yes, but ↑financial risk)
