1Sameer is an investor who has three options. Which one should he choose? A) Lend to a borrower who is willing to pay compound interest of 12%. B) Buy property which will give a CAGR of 12%
Option 1 Both are the same Option 2 (A)
Option 3 (B)
Option 4 Can't say as the investment amount is not given.
Solution
As CAGR also takes compounding into effect, the ultimate impact is just the same.
Infact while we calculate CAGR we calculate the compounded rate at which the given amount will turn to the final amount.
So, in this case both investment will yield similar returns.

A company's sales revenue becomes five times, of what it was 4 years ago. Calculate the CAGR for sales revenue of this company. What will happen to this CAGR, if the revenue becomes 6.5 times of year 1, in the next year?
Option 1 49.53%, CAGR will decrease in the next year Option 2 78.98%, CAGR will increase in the next year Option 3 78.98% CAGR will decrease in the next year Option 4 49.53% CAGR will increase in the next year
Solution
CAGR = (Final value/Initial value)1/n - 1. = 5^(1/4) - 1
= 49.53%.
In the 6th year CAGR will be = 6.5^(1/5) -1 = 43.09% Hence, CAGR has decreased.

Solution
Anand is earning as much in his new business, as he was earning with his FD. So the returns are equal to the comparison rate. Hence, NPV would be 0. Also, IRR is that rate of interest at which NPV is equal to zero, hence in this case IRR would be 8.5%.

The following data relates to three independent investment projects:
Assume a 10 percent required rate of return and rank these projects according to Net Present value.
Option 1 A, C, B Option 2 C, B, A Option 3 A, B, C Option 4 B, C, A Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Net Present Value (Sum of all the cash flows)
We see that NPV is highest for Project A, followed by project C and is Negative for Project B.

Sumit wants to invest in an option in which risk is minimum. Which of the following options should he choose?
A) Investment in shares of a company.
B) Investment in shares of different companies, in the same sector.
C) Investment in shares of different companies, in different related sectors (e.g. automotive and steel).
D) Investments in shares of different companies, in different sectors, which are not co-related.
Option 1 Only (D) Option 2 Both (A) & (D) Option 3 Only (A) Option 4 Only ( C )
Solution
Risk is specific to a particular industry/company. So, in order to diversify the risk one should choose stocks of companies which are not correlated to each other.
If that be the case, the performance of one stock will not affect the other, hence risk will be minimum.

An investor wishes to invest in the stock markets for the short term. The market is very volatile at this time, so in order to hedge himself against the risk, the investor goes in for derivative products such as stock options, instead of buying stocks. What important things should he keep in mind before
investing?
Option 1 The amount of premium he would be paying for buying the options. Option 2 The probability of the loss he may suffer.
Option 3 The amount he is investing. Option 4 The amount of loss he may suffer
Solution
For measuring the risk, two most important things to be considered are : The quantum (amount) of loss one may suffer, and
the probability of occurrence of such loss.
These two factors will help in deciding whether the premium paid for the options is justified.
Hence,three of the given options are important for making this decision.

The salvage value will be considered in the assets of the company.

The direct costs for the year are estimated at INR 4,80,000 and all other operating expenses are estimated at INR 80,000. The goods will be sold to customers at 150% of the direct costs. Tax rate is assumed to be 50%. What is EBT? Option 1 INR 1,28,000 Option 2 INR 64,000 Option 3 INR 160,000 Option 4 INR 2,40,000 Solution 10 Total Assets
Loan (50% of total asset) Interest (8% of Rs.400000) Direct Costs (given)
Operating Expenses (given)
Revenue (150% of the direct cost)
Earning Before Tax (EBT): Revenue – Direct cost - Operating Expenses – Interest expenses

KDR Steels has reported a PAT of INR 200 cr for the last financial year (FY). They have bought land for a new plant for INR 120 cr last year and have also reported a depreciation of INR 10 cr. What would be the cash flow from operations for the company? Assume all the income was from operating activities. Option 1 210 cr Option 2 330 cr Option 3 90 cr Option 4 310 cr Solution
CFO= PAT + Non-operating expenses - Noncash operating income + Noncash expenses - Noncash incomes.
= (200+10) cr = 210 cr.
Investments in new plant will not be a part of cash flow from operations, it will be included seperately under cash flow from investment activities.
Also, since it is not included in PAT already so we will not consider it here for CFO calculations.
