The existing market price of an equity share is £106 (EV. Z 1), which is cum 10% bonus debenture of Z

Find out the expected return and variability of returns of the equity shares if buyback offer is accepted
by theinvestor.

‘The Expected Return of the equity share may be found as follows:
Market Condition | _ Probability Total Return Cost* Net Return
Good 0.25 =124 = 100 =24
Normal 0.50 <112 =100 =12
Bad 0.25 = 100 = 100 0
(24%0.25) + (12x 0.50) + (0x 0.25) 2 .
oT 100 Too x 100= 12%
‘The variability of return can be calculated in terms of standard deviation.
Variance = 0.25 (24- 12)?+ 0:50 (12 - 12)? + 0.25 (0- 12)°
0.25 (12)? + 050 (0)? + 0.25 (-12¥

Stan dard Deviation = 8.485 or say 8.49
“The present market price of the share is ¥ 106 cum bonus 10% debenture of ¥ 6 each; hence the net
cost is 100.
M/s X Finance company has offered the buyback of debenture at face value, There is reasonable 10%
rate of interest compared to expected return 12% from the market. Considering the dividend rate and
market price the creditworthiness of the company seems to be very good. The decision regarding buy-
back should be taken considering the maturity period and opportunity in the market. Normally, if the
maturity period islow say up to Lyear better to wait otherwise to opt buy back option.

Hence, the return is 12.325% with the risk of 1.25% for the portfolio. Thus the portfolio results in
the reduction of risk by the combination of two shares.

(@ What would be the weight for each stock for a portfolio constructed by investing % 5,000 in
portfolio X and 3,000 in portfolio Y?
Gi) Suppose the investor invests & 4,000 out of € 8,000 in security A. Howhe will allocate the balance

Question 9
Following is the data regarding six securities:
A B c D
Return (%) 8 8 12 4
Risk (Standard deviation) 4 5 12 4
(Assuming three will have to be selected, state which ones will be picked.
Gi) Assuming perfect correlation, show whether itis preferable to invest 75% in A and 25% in Cor to
invest 100% in E.
Answer
(@) Security A has a return of 8% for a risk of 4, whereas Band F have a higher risk for the same
return, Hence, among themA dominates.
For the same degree of risk 4, security D has only a return of 4%, Hence, Dis also dominated by A.
Security C & E remain in reckoning as they have higher return though with higher degree of risk.
Hence, the ones to be selected are 4, C& E,
(ii) Theaverage values for A and C for a proportion of 3:1 will be:

For the same 9% return the risk is lower in E. Hence, Ewill be preferable.

(@_— Whatis the expected return ofthe company’s stockbated on CAPM.
Gi) F tho risk promium on the market goes up by 2.50% points, what would be the revited expected

Answer
(i) Computation of expected return based on CAPM
Ry= Ret B (Ru —R9 = 10% + 1.40 (14% - 10%) = 10% + 5.6% = 15.6%
(ii) Computation of expected return if the market risk premium goes up by 2.50% points
‘Thereturn fromthe market goes up by 2.50% ie. 14% + 250% = 16.50%
Expected Return based on CAPM is given by
Rj= 10% + 1.40 (165% - 10%) = 10% + 1.40.x 6.5% = 10% + 9.10% = 19.10%

there were bidders at a higher rate of 4.6% also for lots of less than % 10 crores. What is Pearl Ltd’s
Beta?
Answer
Determining Risk free rate: Two risk free rates are given. The aggressive approach would be to
consider 4.6% while the conservative approach would be to take 43%, If we take the moderate value
then the simple average of the two ie 4.45% would be considered

Information related to an investments as follows:
Risk free rate 10%
Market Return 18%
Beta 12
(@ What wouldbe the return from this investment?
Gi) Fthe projected return is 18%, is the investment rightly valued?
(iil) Whatis your strategy?
Answer
Required rate of Return as per CAPM is given by
R)= RetB Ru - RQ = 10+ 12 (15 -10)= 16%
Gi) Since projected return is 18%, the stock is not rightly valued rather undervalued as return as per
CAPM less than Projected Return.
(iil) Had this Project Return Is considered as expected return, the decision should be to BUY the share,

possible economic scenarios and the conditional returns for two stocks and the market index as shown
below:

follows:
Company's cost of capital = Rr+ Bax Market Risk premium

Gi) Ascertain Equity Beta (Bs), if KGF Ltd. decides to change its Debt Equity position by raising
further debt and buying back of equity to have its Debt Equity Ratio at 1.90. Assume that the
