Answer 1

Q - 6

Net block = Gross block - accumulated depreciation = (26,000,000 - 26,000,000 / 26 x 1) + (52,000,000 - 52,000,000 / 26 x 3) = 25,000,000 + 46,000,000 = 71,000,000

Hence, the correct answer is option c. $71,000,000

Q - 27

Dividend foregone at the end of year 1 = D x N = 1.4 x 6,000 = $ 8,400

However, if dividend payment stops, there will be growth of 10% that will translate into growth in share price of 10%. Hence, share price at the end of year 1 = 25 x (1 + 10%) = $ 27.50

Hence, number of shares that need to be liquidated = 8,400 / 27.5 =  305.45

Hence, the correct answer is option a. 305

Q - 22

PV of annuity = A / r x [1 - (1 + r)^-n] = 6,000 / 8% x [1 - (1 + 8%)^-5] = $  23,956.26

Hence, the correct answer is option c. $23,956.26

Q - 10

The correct answer is option b: Capital markets
