6. (b) ROCE = EBIT / Total Capital Employed
Total Capital Employed = Total Assets – Current Liabilities
= 50 lakhs – 10 lakhs

EBIT = 40 lakhs x 15%

Now, OL of 3.5 = Contribution / EBIT
Therefore Contribution = 6 Lakhs X 3.5 = 21 lakhs
Sales = Contribution / PV Ratio = 21 lakhs / 0.7 = 30 lakhs
7. (d) Calculation: Cost of Debt = (Interest Payment/ Market Price of Bond)
= (8,000 / 95,000) = 8.42%
8. (d) Cost of equity will increase. As the company increases its debt ratio, the
financial risk increases, which typically leads to an increase in the cost
of equity as equity investors demand a higher return for the additional

iii. No of Eq. shares (after buyback) = 1,20,000 (-) 20,000 = 1,00,000

iv. Total Book Value of Equity (after buyback) = 1,00,000 X 193.20

Now,
Total BV of Eq. (after buyback) = Total BV of Eq.(before buyback) (-)

Net Present Value 36.14
Note: At the end of Year 4, Anand will have 1.2 Share i.e. 1 Bought Share
+ 1/5
th
Bonus Share.
(c) i. No of Eq. Shares (before buyback) = Total Earnings (before
buyback)/EPS
= 18,00,000/(270/18)
= 1,20,000 shares
ii. Buyback price = 270 + 10% premium = 297
iii. No of Eq. shares (after buyback) = 1,20,000 (-) 20,000 = 1,00,000
shares
iv. Total Book Value of Equity (after buyback) = 1,00,000 X 193.20
= 1,93,20,000
Now,
Total BV of Eq. (after buyback) = Total BV of Eq.(before buyback) (-)
Amt of buyback
1,93,20,000 = x (-) (20,000 X 297)
Therefore x = Total BV (before buyback)
= 2,52,60,000
BV per share (before buyback) = 2,52,60,000 / 1,20,000
= 210.50 per share
2. (a) Evaluation of Factoring Proposal -
PARTICULARS ` `
(A) Savings (Benefit) to the firm
Administration Cost 45,000 45,000
Bad Debts Cost (On Recourse
basis)
In House – 75 lakhs X 1%
Factoring – 75 lakhs X 0.5%
Net Savings in bad debts cost
(75 lakhs X 0.5%) 37,500
Cost of Carrying Debtors Cost (WN – 1) 1,06,750
TOTAL 1,89,250
(B) Cost to the Firm:
546
Factor Commission [Annual
credit Sales × % of Commission]
75 lakhs X 1.5% 1,12,500
Interest Cost on Net advances (See WN – 1) 53,100
TOTAL 1,65,600
(C) Net Benefits to the Firm (A – B) 23,650
Advice: Since the savings to the firm exceed the cost due to factoring,
the proposal is acceptable.
WN-1 : Calculation of Savings in Interest Cost of Carrying Debtors
(I) In house Management:
Interest Cost = Credit Sales X Avg Collection Period / 360 X Interest
(%) p.a
= 75,00,000 x 60/360 x 10%
= 1,25,000
(II) If Factoring services availed: If factoring services are availed,
then Sukrut Limited must raise the funds blocked in receivables to
the extent which is not funded by the factor (i.e amount of factor
reserve (+) amount of factor commission for 30 days (+) 20% of net
advances)
Calculation of Net Advances to the firm -
Debtors = 75 lakhs x 30/360 = 6,25,000
(-) Factor Reserve = 10% of above = (62,500)
(-) Factor Commission = 1.5% of Debtors = (9,375)
Net Advance = 5,53,125
Advance from Factor = 5,53,125 x 80% = 4,42,500
Int cost on Advance from Factor = 4,42,500 x 12% = 53,100
Now, the amount that is not funded by the factor (6,25,000 -
4,42,500) needs to be funded by Sukrut Limited from overdraft
facility at 10%
Therefore, Int cost on Overdraft (Cost of carrying debtors)
= 1,82,500 x 10% = 18,250
Net Savings in Interest Cost of Carrying Debtors = 1,25,000 (-)
18,250 = 1,06,750
