Fin630 Ass # 2 Solution

Q no.1. What will be the relationship among coupon rate, current yield, and yield to maturity for bonds selling at discounts from par? (Marks=2)

If bond is selling at discount then :

Coupon rate < Current Yield < Yield to maturity

You can convert this equation in your own wordings.

Q no.2. Illustrate the aforementioned relationship and provide supporting calculations using the 8% (semiannual payment) coupon, 30-year maturity bond with par value of Rs.1,000 paying 60 semiannual payments of Rs 40 each assuming it is selling at a yield to maturity of 10%. (Marks=8).

If we treat it as annuity then this formulas will be used:

Bond Price = C*{1-(1/1+r)2*n)/r} +par/(1+r)2*n

=40*{1-(1/1+.05)60/.05 +1000/(1+.05)60

= 40*(1-0.054/.05) +1000/ 18.68

=40*18.92 + 53.533

=756.80 =53.533

= 810.33

Current yield = par or face value*coupon rate/price

= 1000*.08/81.33

= 9.86

It was to prove that if bond is selling at discount then YTM is greater than current yield and current yield is greater than coupon yield , so it is proved from above calculations that:

Coupon rate < current yield < YTM

8% < 9.86% <10%

Hi Stars a manufacturing company deals in manufacturing computers. Marketing, Finance and Operations are three important departments of the Company. The functions of these departments are interrelated and can’t carry without each other in maintaining their production process.
Describe the importance of each department to the other.
Describe why it in necessary for an Operations Manager to have the knowledge of Marketing
and Finance.

Solution:-

Describe why it in necessary for an Operations Manager to have the knowledge of Marketing and Finance.
The field of operations management has been gaining increased recognition over the last two decades. One major reason for this is public awareness of the success of Japanese manufacturers and the perception that the quality of many Japanese products is superior to that of American manufacturers. As a result, many businesses have come to realize that the operations function is just as important to their firm as finance and marketing. In concert with this, firms now realize that in order to effectively compete in a global market they must have an operations strategy to support the mission of the firm and its overall corporate strategy.
Another reason for greater awareness of operations management is the increased application of operations management concepts and techniques to service operations. Finally, operations management concepts are being applied to other functional areas such as marketing and human resources. The term marketing/operations interface is often used.

Question#1 solution:

ROR = D1V1 / P0 + g
ROR = (5/80) + 0.07
ROR = 0.0625 + 0.07
ROR = 0.1325*100
ROR = 13.25%

rA = rRF + (rM - rRF) beta
rA= 13.25%
rRF = 6%
rM = 10%
Beta = ?

13.25% = 6% + (10% - 6%) beta
13.25% - 6% = (4%) beta
7.25% = (4%) beta
Beta = 7.25%/4%
Beta = 1.8125

Solution Q # 2 (Bond Valuation)

a) Given Data (Bond A):
Coupon payment per annum (C) = 2000*10%= 2000* 0.1 = 200
Required rate of return (rD) = 14% = 0.14
Par value or face value (PAR) = 2000
Maturity Period or Term = 3 Years
Bond Price (PV) =?

We know that:
PV = C1/ (1+rD) + C2 /(1+rD) 2 + C3 / (1+rD)3 + PAR / (1+rD)3
PV = 200/ (1 + 0.14) + 200/ (1 + 0.14)2 + 200/ (1+ 0.14)3 + 2000/ (1 + 0.14)3
PV = (200/1.14) + (200/ 1.2996) + (200/1.4815) + (2000/ 1.4815)
PV = 175.4386 + 153.8935 + 134.9983 + 1349.9831
PV = 1814.3135 (Bond A)

b) Given Data (Bond B):
Coupon payment per annum (C) = 2000*10%= 2000* 0.1 = 200
Required rate of return (rD) = 14% = 0.14
Par value or face value (PAR) = 2000
Maturity Period or Term = 5 Years
Bond Price (PV) =?

We know that:
PV = C1/ (1+rD) + C2 /(1+rD) 2 + C3 / (1+rD)3 + C4/(1+rD)4 + C5/(1+rD)5+ PAR / (1+rD)5PV = 200/ (1+ 0.14) + 200/(1+0.14)2 + 200/(1+0.14)3 + 200/ (1+0.14)4 + 200/(1+0.14)5
+2000/(1+0.14)5
PV = (200/1.14) + (200/ 1.2996) + (200/1.4815) + (200/1.6889) + (200/1.9254) + 2000/1.9254
PV = 175.4386 + 153.8935 + 134.9983 + 118.4203 + 103.8745 + 1038.7452
PV = 1725.3704 (Bond B)
c) If ABC wants to minimize the Interest Rate Risk, which bond should be purchased? Why?
Answer:
When interest rate rises, bond price falls. Inversely, when interest rate falls, bond price rises. The longer the maturity period, the greater is the interest rate risk.
According to LAWARENCE J. GITMAN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT (12th EDITION) interest rate risk is the market interest rate fluctuation that directly affects the bond’s value that have constant coupon payment, to reduce the fear of market interest risk diversify the portfolio as it can be spread and chose the bond with shorter duration.

So, ABC should purchase bond A having the shorter maturity period than bond B.
Here price of bond A is 1814.3135 is greater than the price of bond B, which is 1725.3704.

As the taste and quality of the food stuff is excellent, so there will be more and more customers, and due to high traffic of customers especially at dinner there may be following problems:

1. Problem of bad service or dirtiness.
2. Problem due to high traffic of customers: there may be the problem of waiting for fulfilling the orders due to fewer employees according to the customers. Due to which bad service image can create bad image for restaurant. Fast service must be there.
3. Less importance to customers due to other customers:
There may be problem for customers if there are more customers and anyone of employees can give priority to other customer/s.
4. Problem of careless Employees/ Bad attitude of Employees:
There may be careless employees, due to which customers may be suffer from the wastage of time. And the bad attitude of employees may also create problems.

Solution of those complaints:
1. The Pakistani economy is becoming increasingly service-oriented, and over the past several decades, the food service industries that offer the highest levels of convenience have been rewarded with strong sales growth. In the face of rising population, incomes and increasingly hectic work schedules, a nearly insatiable demand for convenience will continue to drive fast food sales. So, service should be good enough as compared to products that it creates more demands.
2. Equal importance should be given to all customers.
3. Multinational Fast food chains like McDonald's rapidly gained a reputation for their cleanliness, fast service and a child-friendly atmosphere. So, it also should be considered. And more efficient and hardworking employees should be hired to making possible the fast service at dinner time.

Last in first out (LIFO)

As the name suggests, the LIFO method is based on the assumption that the recently purchased

merchandise is issued first. The LIFO uses actual purchase cost. Thus, if merchandise has been

purchased at several different costs, the inventory (stock) will have several different cost prices. The

cost of goods sold for a given sales transaction may involve several different cost prices.

Characteristics

•
This is alternatively used method for determining values of cost of goods sold and closing stock.

•
In the LIFO method recent available purchase costs are transferred to cost of goods sold. That

means the cost of goods sold has a higher value and the profitability of the organization becomes lower.
•
As the current stock is valued at oldest prices, the current assets of the company have the oldest

assessed values.

Assignment 4 Solution

Question:

Suppose you are a project manager of a company xyz. You have been asked to compute the earned value analysis of a software project. The software project has 70 planned work tasks that are estimated to require 620 person-days to complete. At the time you have been asked to do the earned value analysis, 13 tasks have been completed. However, the project schedule indicates that 16 tasks should have been completed. The following scheduling data in person-days are available:

You are required to compute the SPI, schedule variance, percent scheduled for completion, percent complete, CPI, and cost variance for the project

Solution:

Budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS)

11 + 8 + 5 + 13 + 11 + 15 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 12.5 + 6 + 3 + 10 + 5 + 6 = 130.5

Budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP):

11 + 8 + 5 + 13 + 11 + 15 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 12.5 + 6 + 3 = 109.5

Budgetat Completion

620

Schedule performance index, SPI = BCWP/BCWS = 109.5/130.5 = 0.83

Schedule variance, SV = BCWP – BCWS = 109.5 - 130.5 = -21

Percent scheduled for completion = BCWS/BAC = 130.5/620 = 0.21

Percent complete = BCWP/BAC = 109.5/620 = 0.17

Actual Cost of Work Performed

10 + 9 + 4 + 13.5 + 11 + 16 + 10 + 7 + 9 + 13 + 5 + 5 = 112.5

Cost performance index, CPI = BCWP/ACWP = 109.5/112.5 = 0.97

Cost variance, CV = BCWP – ACWP = 109.5 – 112.5 = -3
