John Smith, CFA has been assigned the task by his employer Smothers Brothers Brokerage to determine the weighted cost of capital of Zulu Corp. He has been provided the following information: Before-tax cost of new debt Corporate Tax Rate Target debt-to-equity ratio Current Stock Price Next year's dividend Estimated growth rate Estimated Beta
10.67 % 0.41 per dollar 0.8 $63 $1.67 9.69 % 1.23
First determine the cost of equity using the dividend discount model. Beta is of no use in this question. Cost of Equity = Next use the targe debt-to-equity ratio to work out the weighting for debt and equity. Wd = .8 / 1.8 We = 1 -Wd Finally use the WACC formula and the corporate tax rate and the before tax cost of debt. WACC =

Fixed Income Based on question 25 of Muskie's Problem Set
What is the value of a 5 year 5 percent coupon bond selling at a yield of 3 percent assuming the coupon payments are made semiannually?
This is a simple TVM question you have the option of adjusting your calculator to two payments per period or doubling N and halfing the yield and coupon. Some study guide thinks you should do the latter and having failed once that is what I'm now doing, the danger is you'll leave your calculator set on two payments per period in you haste to do the next TVM question.

Financial Reporting Analysis Based on question 31 from Muskie's question set
An analyst gathered the following information about a company: Cash flow from operations Purchase of Plant Sale of Land Interest Expense Depreciation and Amortization The company has a tax rate of 35% and prepares its financial statement under U.S. GAAP
The company's free cash flow to the firm is?
$951 $478 $316 $77 $69
This was one of many questions I got wrong, this one though I could not remember the correct formula which is: Free Cash Flow = Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities - Dividends - (Purchases of Plant Assets - Sales of Plant Assets) I assumed Cash flow from operations is "Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities"

Quantitative Based on question 49 from Muskie's Problem set
An investor has a portfolio of two mutual funds, A and B, 25% invested in A. The following table shows the expected return and the covariance matrix for the two mutal funds:
Expected Return of A Expected Return of B Fund A B
9% 10%
A
B 100 64
The standard deviation of the portfolio is?
64 169
We first solve for the portfolio variance using the two asset formula. The key thing to remember is from the covariance matrix is it is the return multiplied by the standard deviation of the asset squared. The Covariance is the number that appears twice in the covariance matrix.

Forward Rate Agreement so Derivatives Based on question 78 in Muskie's problem set
$53,000,000 1X4 FRA contract Suppose two parties agree to a 3.00% In one month's time the on the LIBOR at a rate of following LIBOR rates are observed: # of days in LIBOR Period 3.00% 30 1 month 3.09% 60 2 months 3.18% 90 3 months 3.27% 120 4 months 3.36% 150 5 months 3.45% 180 6 months What is the paymet amount due to the FRA buyer?
Derivatives Based on Question 78 from Muskie's Problem Set
The payment on a 1x4 FRA is based on the three-month LIBOR rate one month from now. The difference between the agreed and realized rate is Future Rate - Contract Rate Since the deposite is for 90 days and the notational principal is: The payment due to the FRA buyer before discounting is: Principal * Rate Difference * Number of Days/360
3.18% 0.18% $53,000,000
$23,850
To arrive at the correct payment, this amount must be discounted back from the three-month LIBOR deposit maturity date to expiration on the FRA, using the threemonth LIBOR and discounting 90 days. $23,664.07
