Given below are particulars of Blake Ltd. Calculate the diluted EPS
• Net Profit Rs.220 million
• 10 million shares outstanding.
• Average share price is Rs.300.
• Year-end share price is Rs.330.
i. 100,000 Convertible Debentures with Face value of 1000 and coupon of 8% p.a
ii. Each bond can be converted in to 4 shares of Blake Ltd.
iii. Tax rate 30%
a) Rs.21.69
b) Rs.20.00
c) Rs.21.92
Answer A: Conversion will increase 400,000 shares. So post conversion shares Outstanding will be 10.4 mn. Conversion will save the coupon which is 100,000* 1000 * 8% = 8mn. However tax shield will be lost so net increase in profit after conversion would be 8 mn * (1-30%) = 5.6 mn. Adj Net profit = 220+ 5.6 = 225.6 mn. Adj Shares OS = 10.4 mn. Dilued EPS = Rs. 21.69
Rahul and Khan were discussing about Long lived assets and they made the following comments
Rahul: Calculating depreciation under US GAAP is bit more difficult as it requires component wise depreciation. However when it comes to writing back of impairment loss it makes prediction of EPS bit easier as it does not allow writing back of impairment loss recognized earlier.
Khan: The classification of 'Investment property' category under IFRS helps analyst to separate operational assets from non-operational assets in many cases. However US GAAP does not have any such classification.

a) Only Rahul is correct
b) Only Khan is correct
c) Both are correct
Component wise depreciation is required by IFRS and not US GAAP
Writing back of impairment loss is not allowed under US GAAP. However IFRS allows writing back to the extent of loss recognized earlier
Classification of investment property is applicable only under IFRS.
Zeal Ltd bought a machinery for Rs.200 mn. The tax base of the machine at the end of Year 3 is Rs.50 mn and carrying value at the end of year 3 is Rs.80 mn. The tax rate is 35% till the end of year 3.At this point if the tax rate decreases to 25% what would be the change in deferred tax
a) Deferred tax liability will increase by Rs. 3 mn
b) Deferred tax liability will decrease by Rs.3 mn

a) Deferred tax liability will increase by Rs. 3 mn
b) Deferred tax liability will decrease by Rs.3 mn
c) Deferred tax asset will increase by Rs.3 mn
Ans B: When carrying Value >tax base it will result in deferred tax liability. Deferred tax liability@35% tax rate would be (80-50)*35%, when tax becomes 25% DL would be (80-35)*25%
Kashyap Ltd and Peter Ltd reported exactly similar financial profile and business during last financial year, except for the fact that Kashyap Ltd used LIFO inventory and Peter Ltd used FIFO inventory in the current inflationary environment.

Kashyap Ltd and Peter Ltd reported exactly similar financial profile and business during last financial year, except for the fact that Kashyap Ltd used LIFO inventory and Peter Ltd used FIFO inventory in the current inflationary environment. All else being equal the working capital turnover ratio of
a) Kashyap's > Peter's
b) Peter's > Kashyap's
c) Peter's = Kashyap
Ans A:
Working capital turnover ratio = Sales / Working capital
Working capital = Current assets €“ current liabilities
When LIFO inventory is used in an inflationary scenario the cheapest items will remain in the inventory compared to FIFO. Hence Current assets will be lower which will lead to lower working capital under LIFO. (this will hold good even if we account for increased cash which would arise because of higher OCF in LIFO)
With sales remaining same under both LIFO and FIFO and lower Working capital under LIFO would lead to higher Working capital turnover ratio, when LIFO is used in an inflationary environment
Tamo Ltd and MM Ltd are similar is all aspects including their financials and credit ratings. Both Tamo and MM issued 10,000 bonds of Rs.100 FV and a coupon of 9%. The bonds will mature after 5 years. However Tamo's issue price was Rs.98/bond while MM's issue price was Rs.102/bond. All else remaining equal Tamo's Interest coverage ratio compared to MM's interest coverage ratio will be

All else remaining equal Tamo's Interest coverage ratio compared to MM's interest coverage ratio will be
a) Tamo's ICR > MM's ICR
b) Tamo's ICR
c) Data Insufficient
Ans B: At a conceptual level, Yield on Premium Bond
Interest expense reported in Income statement Carrying Value * Yield.
So the interest expense on a discount bond will be higher than interest expense on a premium bond. We know
Interest coverage ratio = EBIT/ Interest.
Given the financials are same only denominators will differ.
So discount bond of Tamo which has higher interest expense will have lesser interest coverage ratio!.
Specific to our example TAMO's bond will attract an YTM at issue of 10.5% and MM's bond an YTM at issue of 9.5%. For first year Tamo's bonds will have an interest expense of 98*10.5%=10.32. MM's bond will have interest expense of 102*9.5% = 9.7. So ICR of Tamo
This explanation holds for straight line amortization of bond/premium also
F-Kart an online retailer sells Merchandise through their website.

a) 9.90%
b) 15.24%
c) 47.27%
Answer C: One of the conditions for Gross reporting is having inventory risk. In this case F-Kart does not have any inventory risk. Hence F-Kart should follow Net reporting, in which case revenue is 21-16.6 = 4.4; deducting Op expenses levees EBT of 3.2; 35% tax is paid which leves net profit of 2.08. Net profit margin is 2.08/ 4.4 = 47.27%

Assuming there are no other comprehensive income items during the year, the ending share holder equity of Lavish Ltd would be close to
a) 259,750
b) 260,000
c) 260,250
Answer B: The loss from 'held to maturity' securities are already included in Net profit, so no additional adjustments required to Share holder equity; Ending share holder equity = 250,000+12500-2500 = 260,000
Bellweather Ltd issued $100 face value bonds at $98 at the beginning of FY1. This bond which has 5 years tenure pays annual coupon of 5% p.a. The total money raised by the company through this issue is $ 1,960,000. If the company uses effective yield method for amortizing bond discount then the interest expense (related to this bond only) that would be reported by the company in FY2 would be closest to

a) $100,000
b) $109,362
c) $107,567
Answer C: The yields on the bond is 5.47%. The company issued 20,000 bonds (1960000/98). FY 1 the company would have reported interest expense per bond of 98*5.47%=5.36. So, 0.36 will be amortized from bond discount at the beginning of FY 2 and the bond would be carried at 98.36. FY2 interest expense is 98.36*5.47%= $5.38 per bond. Total interest expense = 5.38% * 20000 = 107,567

Fastcars Ltd reported a Return on Equity of 17.9% last year. The company's Return on Total Assets for the period was 12.12%. Assuming that the company does not have any non interest bearing debt, Fastcar's Debt to Equity Ratio is closet to
Fastcars Ltd reported a Return on Equity of 17.9% last year. The company's Return on Total Assets for the period was 12.12%. Assuming that the company does not have any non interest bearing debt, Fastcar's Debt to Equity Ratio is closet to
a) 47.8%
b) 67.68%
c) 148.8%
Answer A: RoE = NP/ Equity; RoA = NP/ Total Assets; RoE/ RoA = Assets/ Equity (which is financial Leverage); FL = 17.9%/ 12.12%= 1.48%; Equity/ Assets = 67.68% = Equity/ (equity+Debt)= 67.68%; Debt Asset = 1- 67.68% = 32.32%; this implies debt is 32.32% of assets and equity is 67.68% of assets. So, D/E = 32.32%/67.68% = 47.8%.
