+ See Explanation

Question 1
Answer key: 2
Solution:
Note : T-Bills are sold at a discount, therefore, the gain without any coupons = (100 – Price)/Price

Annualized gain % or discounted yield = gain x 365 x 100 / days to maturity

Discounted yield = (100-Price¬) x 365 x 100/ (Price x Days to maturity)

10 = (100-Price) x 365 x 100/Price x 91

910P = 36500(100 – P)

37410P = 3650000

P = 97.57

Question 2
Answer key: 3

Solution:

Question 3
Answer key: 4

Solution: Average BV = (Beginning BV + Ending BV)/2

EBIT = Revenue – COGS – Depreciation

Since tax rate is 40%, EBIT after tax = (1 – 0.4) x EBIT

Question 4
Answer key: 3

Solution:
Interest payment = 4.5 crore = Debt x 0.10

Debt = 4.5 / 0.1 = 45 crore

D / E = 0.40 before the restructuring

 E = Debt / 0.40

Equity = 112.5 crore

Therefore, Value = D + E = 45 + 112.5 = 157.5 crore

Also, Equity = Earnings to shareholders / return (equity)

Earnings to shareholders = Earnings before interest – Interest = 22.5 – 4.5 = 18 crore

Return (Before repurchase) = Earnings / Equity = 18 / 112.5 x 100 = 16%

After repurchase:

In the absence of taxes, the value of the firm will remain 157.5, because the additional interest tax is zero.

 Debt = ½ Equity = 1/3 Value = 157.5/3 = 52.5 crore

Interest payments = 0.10 x 52.5 = 5.25

Earnings to shareholders = 22.5 – 5.25 = 17.25 crore

Return (equity) = Earnings/ Equity = 17.25 / (52.5 x 2) x 100 = 16.43%
