Question 1

a) i)

Investment assists to gain more profits as compared to savings as it provides compound interest and the principal amount and compound interest also generates money for the investors. Atita plans to provide gifts to her daughter worth $150,000 and for that, Atita has an initial investment of $30,000 and for this total time available is 17 years. Based on the opinion of Banerjee et al. (2022), time frame is a significant factor to generate profits as more time frame can generate more profit from the same investment. Furthermore, in the current scenario time frame is significant to generate the amount that is required to gift its daughter. Moreover, the capital assets provide the same rate of return as it currently provides the return amount cannot gain the amount that actually want to gain in the proper time frame. Therefore, Atita has to focus to increase the rate of compound interest to avail the amount that actually wants.

The above table represents the investment that generates compound interest for continues 17 years the amount that can gain from it is 129829. Moreover, to achieve the goal the return amount should be increased so the targeted amount can achieve in proper time. The total return is based on the financial instrument providing the same rate of return. Therefore, if the rate of interest gets fluctuate then the total amount get also changed and it provides different returns.

The above table represents that the investment gains compound interest the required time to make the $30,000 in $150,000 is 18 years and 9 months. According to the opinion of Tran et al. (2020), the required time is higher than the expected time so to gain the same amount the person can invest in more return projects. In addition to this, the person can invest more amount at the initial phase to gain the expected amount when the initial investment gets increased the return amount get automatically increased.

Mark will receive 13500 for the upcoming 5 years and the value is invested at the rate of 7.5% per annum. Therefore, the principal amount for the return is 67500 and after taking interest on the amount the value is 72562.5.

Question 2

a)

The money market and capital market are two elements of the monetary market that fill various needs and take special care of various sorts of monetary instruments. Here are the essential qualities of each market and instances of monetary instruments related to them.

Key Characteristics

Money Market

The money market manages transient getting, loaning, purchasing, and selling of monetary instruments normally with a development of one year or less. In addition to this, the instruments are exceptionally liquid and can be effectively changed over into cash with negligible risk. According to the opinion of Spencer et al. (2021), interests in the money market are by and large thought to be generally safe because of the transient nature and high credit nature of the instruments. Business banks, national banks, companies, monetary organisations, and state-run administrations are essential members of the money market. Monetary Instruments in the Money Market are described below

Treasury Bills (T-bills): Momentary obligation commitments given by the public authority to raise reserves. It is available for different time phases but all time phases are less than one year.

Commercial Paper: Unstable promissory notes given by organizations to meet transient funding needs. The most common time frame for the instrument is as long as 270 days.

Capital Market

The capital market works with the trading of long-term monetary instruments like stocks, securities, and different protections with developments surpassing one year. According to the opinion of Haynes et al. (2020), interests in the capital market provide a more significant level of chance determined by the money market. According to the opinion of Breeden (2022), the capital market empowers organizations, legislatures, and people to raise capital for long-term venture tasks or extension plans. Individual financial backers, institutional financial backers, enterprises, states, and different elements take part in the capital market. Monetary Instruments in the Capital Market are described below

Stocks (Equities): Address proprietorship in an organisation and furnish investors with casting ballot rights and an offer in the organisation's benefits.

Corporate bonds: Obligation protections given by enterprises to raise capital. Based on the opinion of Ali et al. (2022), they commonly have longer developments than money market instruments and proposition fixed revenue instalments to bondholders.

It's quite significant that the two markets serve significant capabilities inside the general monetary framework. Based on the opinion of Wu et al. (2022), financial instruments are frequently use a mix of money market and capital market instruments to accomplish their monetary objectives.

b)

Table 2.1: Calculate risk and return on both companies

(Source: Self-created)

i)

Combined return when invested in both companies is 11.25% moreover, in the calculation of return it expected that 75% shares of X company are taken and 25% shares of Y company taken. The more investment done in X company which does not provide a good less return so the combined return is not so high.

ii)

The calculation in Table 2.1 reflects that more risk has been found in company Y. Moreover, the market risk in X is 0.008 and the risk in company Y is 0.75 difference in risk rate is huge. Company Y provides more return so the risk in the company is also high and the other company provides less return so the risk value is also low. In addition to this, the combined risk is 0.193 which is calculated on the combination of 75% of company A and 25% of company B.

Question 3:

a)

Table 3.2: Evaluation of the WACC

(Source: Created by the learner)

The recent total market firm value has gained $12500000 in the entire business market. In association with this, it has effectively determined that the business measurements have created an effective position in the business. However, it has led to generating $12500000 of PV in its entire business execution. AS figured out by Budhathoki & Rai (2020), it has devalued their performing execution activities by evolving an enhancement of the business future value in the company. The respective operators of this business can aim to determine these factors for conducting further executions in the company market.

b)

 

Table 3.2: Measurement of the WACC

(Source: Created by the learner)

It has highlighted the overall execution of the company's costs of capital for determining the recent financial position in the cooperating market. It has been optimized that the overall business has created the WACC calculation of 0.54% as a significant value of the cost of capital. Based on the thoughts of Mari & Marra (2019), these valuations have created the current financial position and its overall costs that have been incurred for providing an effective analysis. The operators can create a better assumption of the financial aspects in terms of determining the recent financial position in its operating market. In association with this, the analysis has also highlighted the business concludes a WACC that is effective for the company's current market position. It has also implemented Total value, Weightage of Debt, Cost of Debt, Weightage of Equity and other elements that have helped to determine the overall factors. Hence, the WACC of 0.54% can be effectively determined in this company for creating growth in the business conduction.

c)

Market-based weights can effectively determine the constant fluctuation and the higher or lower valuation that is implemented in the business market. Moreover, it can be evolved that the current market change can be concluded in this procedure. Following the thoughts of Conteh et al. (2019), the overall changes in the business market can be detected and highlighted in this process. The overall thoughts and evaluations of the business market are identified by implementing this process. The effective measurement of the market reduction of the financial evaluations is determined here. It can be measured that developing these processes can help to develop the overall changes. Due to this factor, then is it crucial for using market-based weights in comparison with the balance sheet weights aiming to estimate a company's WACC.

d)

It has been concluded WACC is a significant factor for identifying the internal and external market risks for these projects. Based on the views of Supangat & Wulandari (2019), these valuations can highlight the changes in risk in the cost of capital. These evaluations can be higher as well as lower and display a suitable report to the company operators. Relying on this, the financial stakeholders can tend to invest a value, which can be unstable for the entire business market based on the WACC. Following these, the reports and the outcomes of the WACC can be more problematic in terms of developing their overall performing capabilities. Concerning these, a suitable valuation for the company can be issued by concerning the overall WACC and its other elements in the analysis.

Question 4

a)

The payback period reflects the time that requires for the project to generate a profit that is equal to the initial investment. All companies calculate the ratio before entering into any project to observe how many years the initial investment requires. Moreover, major companies enter into any projects after taking funds from the outside and for this, the calculation is getting significant to pay the funds holders that invested in the company. Potters Ltd has in its growing phase and it has two projects to develop the business and both projects provide a different type of benefits to the business.

Table 4.1: Computation of the Payback Period of Project A

(Source: Self-Created)

The calculation of the payback period for the first project reflects that the investment can gain in 3 years. The initial investment for Project A is low so it can recover in less time however, it also depends on profit factors.

Table 4.2: Computation of the Payback Period of Project B

(Source: Self-Created)

The payback period for Project B is 4 years the initial investment for the project is high but it provides a higher factor. Calculation of the payback period assists the company only on calculates the time which is required to generate a return amount. Therefore, taking project-related decisions cannot take only the basis of a particular calculation. Moreover, the ultimate decision to take on projects depends on various calculations.

b)

Net Present Value (NPV) reflects the difference between total cash inflow and outflow. The companies have calculated the ratio to observe the inflow of cash that can gain by after the expense of the total outflow of cash. The NPV values of the projects are also depended on the initial amount as more the companies if invested in any project can gain more profits. In addition to this, it also includes the time factor and inflation rate so the observation of profit is more accurate. However, the calculation is not fully sufficient to take any project into action as other calculations are also significant.
