  • 第4题:

    KFP Co, a company listed on a major stock market, is looking at its cost of capital as it prepares to make a bid to buy a rival unlisted company, NGN. Both companies are in the same business sector. Financial information on KFP Co and NGN is as follows:

    NGN has a cost of equity of 12% per year and has maintained a dividend payout ratio of 45% for several years. The current earnings per share of the company is 80c per share and its earnings have grown at an average rate of 4·5% per year in recent years.

    The ex div share price of KFP Co is $4·20 per share and it has an equity beta of 1·2. The 7% bonds of the company are trading on an ex interest basis at $94·74 per $100 bond. The price/earnings ratio of KFP Co is eight times.

    The directors of KFP Co believe a cash offer for the shares of NGN would have the best chance of success. It has been suggested that a cash offer could be financed by debt.

    Required:

    (a) Calculate the weighted average cost of capital of KFP Co on a market value weighted basis. (10 marks)

    (b) Calculate the total value of the target company, NGN, using the following valuation methods:

    (i) Price/earnings ratio method, using the price/earnings ratio of KFP Co; and

    (ii) Dividend growth model. (6 marks)

    B

    10.5

    C

    12.0

    D

    13.5

    E

    15.00


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    因为8和x的平均数为10,可得出(8+x)/2=10,x=12。又因为7和y的平均数为11,所以可得出7 + y = 22,y=15,所以x和y的平均值为(x+y)/2=(12+15)/2= 27/2=13.5。

  • 第16题:

    PV Co is evaluating an investment proposal to manufacture Product W33, which has performed well in test marketing trials conducted recently by the company’s research and development division. The following information relating to this investment proposal has now been prepared.

    Initial investment $2 million

    Selling price (current price terms) $20 per unit

    Expected selling price inflation 3% per year

    Variable operating costs (current price terms) $8 per unit

    Fixed operating costs (current price terms) $170,000 per year

    Expected operating cost inflation 4% per year

    The research and development division has prepared the following demand forecast as a result of its test marketing trials. The forecast reflects expected technological change and its effect on the anticipated life-cycle of Product W33.

    It is expected that all units of Product W33 produced will be sold, in line with the company’s policy of keeping no inventory of finished goods. No terminal value or machinery scrap value is expected at the end of four years, when production of Product W33 is planned to end. For investment appraisal purposes, PV Co uses a nominal (money) discount rate of 10% per year and a target return on capital employed of 30% per year. Ignore taxation.

    Required:

    (a) Identify and explain the key stages in the capital investment decision-making process, and the role of

    investment appraisal in this process. (7 marks)

    (b) Calculate the following values for the investment proposal:

    (i) net present value;

  • 第22题:

    问答题
    Passage 1  Modern woman may be better educated, have a better job and earn more money than her grandmother ever dream of, but in one way he life remains the same—eight out of ten women still do the household chores.  Only 1 per cent of men say they do the washing and ironing or decide what to have for dinner. The only area where average man is more likely to help out is with small repairs around the house.  The report Social Focus on Women and Men, by the Office for National Statistics, found that attitudes to women working have changed drastically over the past decade. Whereas in 1987 more than half of men and 40 per cent of women agreed with the statement, “A husband’s job is to earn the money, a wife’s job is to look after the home and family”, that view had halved among both sexes by 1994.  The numbers agreeing strongly with the statement, “A job is all right but what most women really want is a home and children”, had also halved from 15 pre cent to 7 per cent of men feeling that way and 12 per cent to5 per cent of women.  Women’s increased participation in the world of work has been one of the most striking features of recent decades. Nearly half of all women aged 55 to 59 have no qualifications. But their granddaughters are outperforming their male peers across the board, and from 1989overtook boys at A-levels.  Gender stereotypes persist at this level of education, however, with more than three-fifths of English entrants being female, wile a similar proportion of maths entrants are male. A greater number of boys take physics and chemistry whereas girls predominate in social sciences and history.  The explosion in higher education means there was a 66 per cent increase in number of female undergraduates and a 50 per cent increase in the number of male undergraduates between 1990-91 and 1995-96.  Women are also making breakthroughs in specific are4as of employment. Women now form a slight majority among new solicitors although they make up only one-third of all solicitors. Since 1984 the number of women in work has risen by 20 per cent to 10.5 million.  But when it comes to pay, they still lag behind their male peers. Women earn on average 80 per of what men do per hour. They are also far more likely to work part-time or with temporary contracts.  Part of the reason for this is because women still take the main role in childcare, although they are more likely to work than in the past. The number of mothers with children under five doubled between 1973 and 1996. And the number of women who return to work within nine to eleven months of the birth increased dramatically. In 1974, only 24 per cent of women returned in this period compared with 67 per cent in 1996.  The relationship between the sexes has also seen changes. Seven in ten first marriages are now preceded by cohabitation compared with only one in twenty first marriages in the mid-1960s. Since 1992 women in their early thirties have been more likely to give birth than those in their early twenties, although the fertility rate is still highest among those aged 25 to 29.  1. What is the theme of the passage?  2. What are gender stereotypes? List the gender stereotypes at the level of higher education discussed in the passage.  3. What are the major changes concerning the status of women in Britain?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    1. The passage reveals that the majority of women are still involved in housework/cores despite improvement in their education, better job opportunities and higher income.
    2. Gender stereotypes refers to conventional/usually over simplified conception of roles, jobs of male/female/man/woman. The typical/unvarying/fixed pattern of selecting majors shows the expression of gender stereotypes at the level of higher education, i.e., boys choose maths, physics and chemistry and girls choose English language, science and history.
    3. The major changes can be found in better education, large increase of female undergraduates, better fobs, significant increase of women in work and changes/improvement in the relationship between sexes.
