SECTION A
Instruction: Complete ALL questions from this section.
Joanna is a civil servant who recently got a job promotion and decided to purchase a car through
the bank valued at $2 million. She currently earns a monthly salary of $250,000 and wants to
keep her monthly payment at below 25% of her salary due to budgetary constraints. She made
inquiries with two banks who gave her the following information over the phone.
CIBC offered her 90% financing with three years to repay at 8% compounded monthly.
Scotiabank offered 100% financing based on her civil service membership with three years to
repay at 12% compounded monthly. Payments would become due at the end of each month.
Joana sought your assistance as a Finance student to help her understand the terms of the offer so
that she can make her decision.
A. Prepare the amortization schedules for both loans. (12 marks)
B. Which company would be best for Joanna to accept the loan from based on her
constraints and why? (2 marks)
Three months into the loan Joanna accepted a line of credit (like a credit card) with a $650,000
limit from her bank. There is no interest payment if the line of credit is not used. However, the
bank charges 30% interest compounded monthly on any outstanding balance.
The impact of covid-19 caused Joanna to lose her income temporarily for two months. She was
unable to make her monthly payments. Joanna decided to borrow from her line of credit so that
she does not default on her loan. A month later she is back at work and is hoping to settle the
outstanding sum.
C. Advise her what would be the Effective Rate of Interest (EAR) on the credit line?
(2 marks)
D. Recommend to Joanna the amount outstanding for the two months, including the interest
for the credit line if she had gotten the loan from CIBC. (4 marks)

SECTION B
Instruction: Complete any TWO (2) questions from this section.
Question 1
Ken, the Director of Finance in a prominent hotel has been planning a $30,000 extravagant
vacation this year to mark his 10th year of wedded anniversary. He has been investing $1,000
into an investment fund at the end of each month at a rate of 12% for the past two years.
The impact of covid-19 derailed his plans somewhat as he was made redundant from his job after
being with the company for 35 years. His severance package was a hefty sum but the uncertainty
surrounding the pace of economic recovery made Ken thought wisely about his future financial
stabililty.
Ken needed a new car but despite his current access to cash he decides to buy the car in five
years time, opting to make an investment now at 12 percent with the hope of amassing $250,000
then.
He is also of the opinion that given the rampage of covid-19 and its potential medium-to-long-
term effect, an investment that provides regular cashflow would help in the interim. He
purchased an investment at 6% that will give him $1,000 at each of the next three years, $2,000
at the end of year 4, $3,000 at the end of year 5 and $5,000 at the end of year 6.
As his financial guru buddy, he asked you to help him assess his financial position guided by the
questions or statement below.
A. Despite Kens redundancy, would he have succeeded with his vacation investment?
(4 marks)
B. How much should Ken have invested monthly to have realized his goal? (3 marks)
C. What would be a reasonable sum for Ken to invest now so that he can reach his goal of
buying the car? (3 marks)
D. What is the total cashflow of the investment and how much is it worth today? (10 marks)
(Total 20 marks)
(To be prorated to 30 marks)

Question 2
Levi Company Ltd has been experiencing a period of rapid growth. Dividends are expected to
grow at a rate of 10% during the next 2 years, at 8% in the third year and at a constant rate of 6%
thereafter. Their last dividend was $2.50 and the required rate on the companys stock is 12%.
The stock currently trades for $49.75 per share on the stock exchange.
In January 2020, the companys investment grade bond of $20 million at $1,000 par, had 25
years to mature, with a semiannual coupon rate of 6% and a yield to maturity of 8%.
The company has been hit hard by the impact of covid-19. General interest rate have declined
from governments monetary response to economic stability. The company also suffered a
downgrade from Moodys Bond Rating Agency to a Baa3. Bonds with similar risk, return a 12%
yield to maturity, given the increased level of risk.
Prior to covid-19 these options appeared to be very attractive investment options for your client
but now he wants to get an update on the performance of his portfolio. As his investment
advisor, assess your clients investment portfolio to ascertian the potential of realizing a loss.
A. Determine the current market value of the companys stock. (10 marks)
B. How much is the change in the value of the bond after the downgrade? (6 marks)
C. How would you summarize your clients current investments? (4 marks)

Interest =0.344 /12 = 2.83%
0.0283 x 112,810.92

It would be best to accept the Education project because it has a positive NPV.

D. The government should implement the project of education as it has proved worthwhile with positive net present value and profitability index. It also provides a relatively lower payback period as compared to the health project.
Question 1
A. Future value of vacation Investment
FV = PV(1+R)n
FV = 2400(1.12)2
FV = 2400(1.2544)
FV = 3010.56
Ken will not succeed the investment has little future value.
The Amount Ken need to succeed
FV=PV*(1+R)n
=30,000=PV(1.12)2
=30000=PV(1.12544)
PV=30,000/1.12544
PV= 26,656.2411
Ken need to invest =26,656.2411/24
=1110.68 per month
The amount he need to reach the goal of purchasing a car
FV=PV*(1+R)2
=250,000=PV(1.12)2
=250,000=PV1.7623
PV=250,000/1.7623
PV= 141856.71
Ken need to invest =141856.71/60

B. YTM= (C+(PV-MV) n) (PV+MV2)) (1-T)100
Yield to maturity=8%
par value of the bond =$1,000
coupon rate 6% semi annual
years of maturity= 25 years
since it is a semi-annually paid bond;
divide yield maturity by 2(R/2)
divide the coupon rate by 2(C/2)
multiply the maturity by 2(r 2)
0.04=c+(1,000-985)/50(1000+985/2) (1-T)100
0.04=(C+0.3) (992.5)
39.7= C+0.03
C=39.67
0.062=0.03

Due to risk the yield to maturity return is 12%, therefore
0.06=(C+0.3) (992.5)
59.55=C+0.3)
C=59.25
The stock trades at 49.75$ therefore it has been under valued
