    Thank u very much. Of course both of them are simultaneously used at the same time.
    Can u refer to GXG ques – 06/2013, please explain for me part (a)

    The answer is
    The co. Capital value at end of yr 2:
    2.5 /(0.09 -0.04) = $50m ( agreed)

    The capital value of the dividend at yr 0:
    50/1.09^2 = $42.1m (agreed)

    The current PV of dividends to shareholders, using the existing 3% dividend growth rate:
    1.6×1.03 / (0.09-0.03) = $27.5m

    I wonder where is the 1.6 come from?
    Another thing:
    Is that 4% is the dividend growth from 3rd yr onwards? And 3% is backwards?

    Ok just the different wording makes it difficult to understand.
    We use after tax cost of debt as discount rate also called yield rate & return to investor which is 12% (before tax)
    Therefore 12% need to be converted to post tax
    8% is used to calculate cost of debt by the trial-and-error method right?

    Ok, I understand your first paragraph, meaning that buying back happened after the accounts published, not during this yr. Therefore it will only affect the next yr financial affair

    In part c of this ques. Why dont we take into account the revised retain earnings?

    If buying back bonds that means
    Revenue: 472
    Less cos : (423)
    Pbit: 49
    Interest: (125-80)*8% = 3.6
    Pbt : 49-3.6 = 45.4
    tax (30%) : (13.62)
    Pat: 31.78 ( goes to retain earnings)
    Revised RE = 80-27+31.78= 84.78
    Revised total equity = 60+$6*15+84.78 = 224.78

    Can u explain for me this point?

    “…then if the exchange rate changes it may mean they are able to export much more and make more profits…”

    Im thinking 2 perspectives in your example 2

    Being able to export much more and make more profits to service market demand ( is it market demand relate to decision-making of the managers? i think if the co. has a good products as well as a good price then it will gain a foothold
    My second viewpoint : producing more goods is also a decision of managers enabling to export more

    sorry about that. Im afraid that u forgot to answer my ques so its just a remind
    Thank you for ur answer. Im very clear how flotation works

    Another question that i still need ur help
    can u explain for me this sentence, i came across several times but not quite understand in deep about this

    “. .. from this perspective, a dividend increase should arise from increases maintainable profitability, not from a desire to ” make the company more attractive”. Increasing the dividend will not generate any additional capital for company, SINCE EXISTING SHARES ARE TRADED ON THE SECONDARY MARKET”

    What is the secondary market and what is the meaning of this sentence

    Thank u very much

    i don’t quite understand about this. So it assumes that if the share price go up by 0.7, then the shareholders are entitled to receive this incremental too?

    c.o.c means cost of capital
    What i mean is
    WAC = (Cost of capital + cost of borrowing)/2

    In a question Warden Co. in BPP kit revision. Part (c) (ii), it asks to calculate sensitivity in selling price

    Sensitivity = NPV / PV of sale revenue

    the answer is
    Taxation is taken into account to calculate sale revenue after tax

    Why should we need to take into account taxation in this circumtance?
    I though only sale revenue is enough

    Another thing i want to ask you about the sensitivity analysis to c.o.c
    Is that Sensitivity to c.o.c = irr
    Or we calculate like this

    Sensitivity to c.o.c = (irr – c.o.c) / c.o.c x 100

    I found somewhere use first method and another use second. That very confusing. Please make clearly for me sir

    Yes i got it. I forgot that using weighted average c.o.c for discounting
    Therefore
    WAC = (c.o.c + cost of borrowing)/2
