Paper - 3: Financial, Treasury and Forex Management

Chapter - 1: Nature and Scope of Financial Management

2013 - June [1] {C} (i)

Y The term ‘liquidity’ refers to the firm’s ability to honour its future obligation.

Y It calls for striking a proper balance between the receivables and payables.

Y Liquidity management requires arrangement of receivables in such a manner that

they are realised before the maturity of payables.

Y A finance manager should determine the need of liquid assets, well in advance,

and should arrange them in such a way that there is no scarcity of funds.

Y On the other hand the term ‘profitability’ means effective utilisation of funds in such

a manner that they yield the highest return.

Y Thus, the two prime goal which every finance manager has in priority being

‘liquidity’ and ‘profitability’ often seem to be competitive in nature. Their

contradictory nature is on account of the fact that for survival of business it is

essential to have adequate amount of cash. But at the same time having excess

cash may result in blocking of cash and there by acting as a hindrance in the path

of profitability.

Y To conclude, a finance manager needs to strike out a proper balance between the

goals of liquidity and profitability.

2013 - June [4] (i)

Profit maximisation:-

Profit maximisation is one of the objective of financial management since profit acts as

a reward for taking risk and is also an icon of business performance.

Evaluation of profit maximisation as one of the objectives of financial management:-

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 2

Advantages of Profit Maximisation:

Y The ultimate objective of each business is profit maximisation.

Y Profit acts as a reward for taking risk.

Y It helps to counteract with the future uncertainties.

Y Profit is also an icon of business performance.

Y Last but not the least, profit is the measuring rod which measures the financial

soundness of any organisation.

Disadvantages of profit Maximisation:

Reasons as to why profit maximisation is not an objective of financial management:-

Y Profit maximisation is a narrow approach.

Y Profit is a vague term since different persons have different perspective for the very

same term.

Y It ignores the timing of return.

Y Does not take into account the risk factor.

Y Lastly, it is a short term concept only.

Wealth Maximisation:

It is a long term objectives of financial management whereby the business strives to

increase the wealth of the shareholders i.e. the stockholding of individual shareholder

by maximising the market price per share.

Advantages of Wealth Maximisation:

Y As against the profit maximisation, the approach of wealth maximisation is long

term in nature.

Y It does consider the timing impact.

Y It takes into account the concept of risk and uncertainty.

Disadvantages of Wealth Maximisation:

Y Lack of direct relationship between financial decisions and prices of shares.

Y Merely an increase in shareholder’s wealth does not lead to wealth maximisation

since there exist a large number of other stake holders also.

Chapter - 2: Capital Budgeting Decisions

2013 - June [1] {C} (ii)

Y Net Present Value (NPV) measures the difference between the present value of

future cash inflows and present value of future cash outflow. Internal rate of return

on the other hand, is the discount rate at which N.P.V. is zero i.e. present value of

cash inflows is equal to the value of investment made.

Y While in the IRR method, the intermediate cash flows will be reinvested at IRR

itself, in case of NPV method the investment is made at cut off rate which proves

out to be a better presumption.

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 3

Chapter - 3: Capital Structure Decision

2013 - June [1] {C} (iv)

Y It is apt to state that company employs cost of capital as a minimum

benchmark for its yield.

Y Cost of capital refers to the cost of raising funds, which includes both debt and

equity.

Y Thus, this is the minimum return that investors seek from the company in

return of funds provided by them.

Y Hence forth, it sets a benchmark / threshold for the company to earn that

minimum return to satisfy its investors.

Y To conclude, cost of capital is the minimum benchmark for yield, however the

company should try to maximize its yield over and above the cost of capital

to increase market value and enable wealth maximization, which is the

ultimate objective of business.

2013 - June [2] (a), (c)

(a) (i) To find Alfa Ltd’s cost of equity :-

cost of equity = K(e) =

Where;D 1- Dividend paid at the end of year 1

P0 - Current market price of share g - Growth rate

Total Earnings = =16

EPS = ` 16DPS = 62.5% × 16 = 10

Retained Earnings =37.5% × 16 = 6

P/E =

Where;MPS = Market Price per shareEPS = Earning per Share

Since P/ E = 7.5 =

MPS = 7.5× 16 = 120Thus, D 1= Do+ g =10 + 8 % = 10.8

So = + 8% = 17%

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 4

(ii) If growth rate is 10% p a, Compute MPSK (e) = 17%D1 = 10.0+10% =11P0 = ?g = 10%So,

Po = = = =157.14

Hence, market price of the share is ` 157.14

(iii) k / e =15% g = 11% MPS = ?

D1 = 10.0+11% =11.10

P0 =

= = = 277.50

(c)(i) Following is the balance sheet of Honey well Ltd as onþ

Operating Leverage =

Finance Leverage =

Combined Leverage =

or

operating leverage × finance leverage

Total Asset Turnover Ratio = 2.5

= 2.5

Given,

Total Asset = 6,00,000

So,

Turnover = 2.5×6,00,000

= 15,00,000

Sales 15,00,000

Less:- Variable Cost (40%) 6,00,000

Contribution 9,00,000

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 5

Less:- Fixed Cost 2,00,000

EBIT 7,00,000

Less:- Interest 24,000

EBT 6,76,000

Less:- Tax @30% 2,02,800

PAT 4,73,200

6 Operating Leverage (OL) = =1.29

6 Financial Leverage (FL) = =1.04

6 Combined Leverage (CL) = O L× FL

= 1.29 × 1.04

= 1.33

(ii) If EPS = 6, EBIT- ?

Total Earnings for shareholders

= No. of shares × EPS

= 18,000 × 6

= 1,08,000

Let us assume EBT be x

Tax Rate @ 30% = 0.30 x

Hence,x - 0.30 x = 1,08,000.70 x = 1,08,000 x =15,42,86

So, EBIT =1,54,286 +20,000 =1,78,286

EPS 11.667 12.25 11.50

Since, EPS is highest (` 12.25 per share ) in case of debt issue, the company should go

in for that Option.

(ii) Let EBIT be x

Thus, at ` 13.50 crores EBIT, there will be an equivalency level.

Chapter - 4: Sources of Finance

2013 - June [7] (v)

C The section that deals with sweat equity share is Section 79 A of Companies Act1956.

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 7

C Sweat equity shares are those shares which are issued by the company toemployees or directors at a discount or for consideration other than cash, forproviding know how or making available rights in the nature of intellectual propertyrights or value additions, by whatever name called.

C These shares are specially issued to the employees or directors only.C Sweat equity shares are issued if the following conditions are satisfied:

÷ Special resolution is passed ÷ Resolution specifies the number of shares, current market price, consideration

if any, and the class or classes of directors or employees to whom such equityshares are to be issued.

÷ Atleast one year has passed since commencement of business.÷ Issued in accordance with regulation made by SEBI

Chapter - 5: Dividend Policy

2013 - June [5] (a) (i), (ii)

(i) As per Miller-Modigilani dividend Model:-

PO =

Where:-

PO = Current Market Price

D1 = Dividend in year 1

P1 = Price at the end of year 1

K(e) = Capitalisation rate

(i) Given,

PO= 100

D1 = = 4

K(e) = 14%

100 =

114 = 4+x

x =110

So, P1 = ` 110

Expected Income Y ` 65,00,000

Less:- Dividend Y 4,00,000

Amount available Y 61,00,000

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 8

Number of shares Y = 12,727.27

Thus, 12,728 shares need to be issued

(ii) When no dividend is paid:-

PO= `100

D1 = o

P1 = ?

K(e) =14%

P1 =100 × 1.14 = 114

Less Dividend = 0

So, P1 = 114

Expected Income = 65,00,000

Less:- Dividend = Nil

Income Available = 65,00,000

Amount required for new project = 75,00,000

Less:- Income Available = 65,00,000

Amount Required = 10,00,000

Price at the end of year 1( or P1) = 114

So, =8,771.93

Hence, a total of 8,772 shares need to be issued.

Chapter - 6: Working Capital Management and Control

Number of boxes required in 3 months Y125

Hence,

Y Number of boxes required in 1 year = 125 × 4 = 500 boxes

Y Cost per box = ` 125

Y Ordering cost = ` 250 per order

Y Carrying cost = 20% = ` 25

(i) Total Annual Cost = Purchase cost % Ordering cost %Carrying Cost

So,

62,500% [ 250 × 4 ] % ×125 × 25 = 65,062.50

(ii ) If EOQ ( Economic order quantity ) is placed:-

EQQ =

A = Annual Requirement'Demand

B = Ordering Cost

C = Carrying Cost

Y It is true to say that depository systems functions quite similar to banks.

Y The similar features between depository system and banking system are:-

C Both holds funds / securities for its clients.

C Provide the service of transfer of funds /securities for its clients.

C Both provide secured transactions to its clients.

÷ Factoring refers to an arrangement whereby account receivables arising due to sale

of goods and services are sold by the client to a financial intermediary called ‘factor’

who performs the function of administering and collecting the receivables.

÷ In return for the services provided, the factor charges a fee based on specific

percentage (mutually decided) of the total value of receivables.

÷ It is an alternate to in house management of receivables.

÷ Various services provided by the factor:-

C Administration of sales ledger

C Arrangement of collection of accounts receivable

÷ Mechanics of factoring:-

C Client / seller sends invoices to customer

C Client enters into an arrangement with the factor

C Client notifies the customers that the invoice is assigned to and must be paid

to factor

C Factor maintains the sales ledger.

C He follows up with the customer for realisation of payments

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 12

C He sends periodic statement to the client and receives his agreed upon share

of fees for the services so provided.

Chapter - 9: Project Planning and Control

Y While evaluating any project using social cost benefit analysis (SCBA), economic

rate of return (ERR) is deployed.

Y As against this, while making economic appraisal of any project Internal Exchange

Rate (IER) is made use of.

Y Economic rate of return equates real economic cost to its economic benefits during

the project life time.

Y Thus, economic rate of return acts as an important tool to evaluate and select the

project.

Y ERR is based on shadow prices which depicts real cost of inputs & real benefits of

output to the society.

Currency Swap:

C Currency swap are entered in case the parties want to exchange same amount,

however in different currencies.

C The concept of currency swap is based on the fact that many a times there is a

comparative advantage in borrowing home currency and thus the parties may swap

currencies between them so as to avail benefits.

Currency Option:

C Currency option as against currency swap is a derivate financial instrument that

gives the owner the right but not the obligation to exchange money denominated in

one currency into another currency at pre agreed exchange rate during a specified

period of time.

Chapter - 11: Treasury Management

2013 - June [1] {C} (iii)Treasury management is the science of managing treasury operations of a firm. Themain function of treasury management is the management of funds. Treasurymanagement has both macro and micro aspects. Treasury management is different fromfinancial management.Some of the tools of treasury management are as follows:-

(i) Zero Base Budgeting: It is a method of budgeting which requires each costelement to be specifically justified. It requires each budget to be prepared &justified from zero, instead of simply using last year’s budget as base.

(ii) Financial Statement Analysis: Financial statement analysis helps to know thesoundness & intrinsic worth of the company. It plays an important role in decidingwhether to invest in the company or not to invest in the company.

(iii) Analytic & planning tools:C Analytic & planning tools are necessary for planning & budgeting.C Planning & budgeting are important to achieve the targets of treasury function.Some of the differences between ‘Treasury management’ & ‘financial management’ areas follows:-

(i) Treasury management is concerned with monitoring the income & expensebudgets on a periodic basis while financial management is concerned with thepreparation of profit and loss account and the balance sheet.

(ii) Net current assets of the firm are dealt by the treasury manager whereas thefinance manager deals with the creation of fixed assets.

(iii) Treasury management is mainly short term in nature while financial managementis mainly long- term in nature.

(iv) Treasury management is involved in internal audit but external audit is dealt byfinancial management.

(v) Treasury manager is concerned with short term investments but financialmanager is concerned with long - term investments.

(ii) 1. The term ‘netting’ is used for that general protection measure employed in

context of mitigating foreign exchange risk whereby only net amount of receipts

and payment between holding and subsidiary should be given effect to.

2. Netting may thus serve as a general protection measure to hedge against

foreign exchange risk.

3. Netting can be of two types:

(a) Bilateral Netting

(b) Multilateral Netting

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 14

(4) Bilateral Netting: As the name suggest, bilateral netting refers to that netting

which involves two parties i.e. netting between two companies, mostly between

holding and its subsidiary.

(5) Multilateral netting: The netting which involves more than two parties is known

as multilateral netting.

(v) Interest rate parity: According to this parity the high interest rate on a currency is

offset by forward discount and low interest rate is offset by forward premium.

In other words, it states that difference in interest rates between two countries is

equal to the difference between the forward and spot exchange rates.

Purchasing power parity: This approach states that the exchange rate between the

currencies of two countries equals the ratio between the prices of goods in these

countries, further the exchange rate must change to adjust to change in prices of goods.

Thus purchasing power parity states that exchange rate between countries will adjust to

change in inflation rates.

2013 - June [5] (c)

(A) Convert U $ 1 crore into ` ( at spot rate of ` 48.30 )

So, 1,00,00,000 × 48.30 = 48,30,00,000

(B) Converting the amount of ` 48,30,00,000 into GBP (@ 77.52)

So, = 62,30,650.16

(C) Converting the amount of GBP 62,30,650.16 into US (at the rate of 1.6231 )

62,30,650.16 × 1.6231 = 1,01,12,968

Thus,

Gain on arbitrage :-

1,01,12,968

( - ) 1,00,00,000

1,12,968

Hence, arbitrage will result in a gain of US $ 1,12, 968

(ii) ! There are three different kinds of foreign currency exposures namely:

C Translation exposure

C Transaction exposure

C Economic exposure.

! Translation exposure:

C As the name suggests translation exposure measures the impact of

variation in exchange rate on account of translation i.e. in relation to

reporting in the financial statement of business enterprise.

C Translation exposure is merely paper based gain or loss.

C This is short term in nature.

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 15

C The cause of such exposure is requirement for reporting of foreign

operations by converting foreign currency into home currency.

! Transaction exposure:

C Transaction exposure measures the impact of an exchange rate variation

on outstanding obligation prevalent before such variation but settled

thereafter.

C These are real exchange gains or losses.

C Such an exposure is also short term in nature.

C Transaction exposure arises due to the possibility of incurring foreign

exchange gain or loss on transaction denominated in foreign currency but

entered before change in rates.

! Economic Exposures:

C Economic exposure measures the effect of an exchange rate variation on

the net present value (NPV) of cash flows from investments made in

foreign projects.

C These depict a real exchange gain or loss as against the translation

exposure which is merely paper based.

C These are general in nature and are quite difficult to predict.

Techniques available to hedge such foreign exchange risk exposure are as follows:

C Diversification! Business enterprises may employ diversification of operations

as a technique to hedge foreign exchange risk exposure.

Since different countries are exposed to different conditions, diversifying in

different countries and consequtively in different currencies may lead to overall

reduction (hedging) the risk exposure.

Instruments use to hedge foreign exchange exposure (particularly

transaction exposure) are as follows:

(iii) Transfer pricing

Y Transfer pricing refers to the mechanism at which two related companies

price each other for the sale or purchase of goods or services taking place

between them.

Y Since, such transfer prices can duly be affected by the manipulation

between the companies to affect to the book profit, government applies

what is called’ transfer pricing rules’.

Appendix CS Professional Programme Module-II Paper 3 16

Y The related parties may sell at a very low price, with an intent to show less

profits and evade taxes, however, the tax authorities ensure that such

transactions are taxed at arm-length basis (ie. price at which the said

goods have been sold to unrelated parties).
