Defition of YTM

Yield to maturity is the discount rate at which the sum of all future cash flows from the bond (coupons and principal) is equal to the price of the bond.
The Yield to maturity (YTM), book yield or redemption yield of a bond or other fixed-interest security, such as gilts, is the internal rate of return (IRR, overall interest rate) earned by an investor who buys the bond today at the market price, assuming that the bond will be held until maturity, and that all coupon and principal payments will be made on schedule.

Case Studies on Ratio Analysis (Quick Ratio, Current Ratio, Inventory Turn over Ratio, DSCR)

XYZ Pvt Ltd has the following assets and liabilities as on 31st March 2016 (in Lakhs) :

Non Current Assets
Goodwill 75
Fixed Assets 75
Current Assets
Cash in hand 25
Cash in bank 50
Short term investments 45
Inventory 25
Receivable 100
Current Liabilities
Trade payables 100
Income tax payables 60
Non Current Liabilities
Bank Loan 50
Deferred tax payable 25

Find the Quick Ratio

Quick Ratio = (Cash in hand + Cash at Bank + Receivables + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities
= (25+50+45+100) / 160
= 220 / 160
= 1.38

.................................

Cash = Rs. 100000
Debtors = Rs. 200000
Inventories = Rs. 300000
Current liabilities = Rs. 200000
Total current assets = Rs. 600000
The quick ratio = ?

Since Quick ratio = Quick asset / CL
Here Quick asset = CA - Inventory
Now CA= (Cash + Debtor.....etc ) = Rs. 600000
Here inventories = 300000/-
So, Quick Assets = 600000 - 300000 = Rs. 300000
CL = Rs. 200000
Hence QR = 300000/200000
i.e 1.5:1
.............................................

Current ratio of a unit is 3:1 and quick ratio is 1:1. The level of current assets is Rs 15 lac. What is the amount of quick asset?

Since CR = CA: CL
CR= CA:CL = 3:1
i.e. 15:CL= 3:1
i.e CL = 5 lac
Now QR= 1:1
Since QR= Quick asset/CL ( here quick asset is CA-Inventory )
Hence QA= CL ~ 5 lac
.............................................

A firm has Capital of Rs. 200, Reserve Rs. 230 Term Loan of Rs. 180, Advance from customers Rs. 40, sundry creditor Rs. 100, Bank CC limit balance Rs. 400, Fixed Assets Rs. 300, Preliminary expenses Rs. 80, Debit balance of profit and loss account balance Rs. 30, advance tax paid Rs. 20, cash on hand Rs. 20, Stock Rs. 400 and sundry creditor Rs. 300. on the basis of the above information:

The current ratio would be ......

Current Ratio=Current Assets / Current Liabilities
CA=(20+20+400+300)=740
CL=(40+100+400)=540
= 740/540
= 1.37:1

Govind's Furniture Company sells industrial furniture for office buildings. During the current year, it reported cost of goods sold on its income statement of 10,00,000. Govind's beginning inventory was 30,00,000 and its ending inventory was 40,00,000. Govind's turnover is ...... times.

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
= 1000000 / ((3000000+4000000)/2)
= 1000000 / (7000000/2)
= 1000000 / 3500000
= 0.29 Times

This means that Govind only sold roughly a third of its inventory during the year. It also implies that it would take Govind approximately 3 years to sell his entire inventory or complete one turn. In other words, Govind does not have very good inventory control.

.................................

Raju's Furniture Company sells industrial furniture for office buildings. During the current year, Raju reported cost of goods sold on its income statement of 25,00,000. Raju's beginning inventory was 40,00,000 and its ending inventory was 60,00,000. Calculate Raju's Furniture Company's Inventory Turnover Ratio.

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory for that period
= 2500000 / ((4000000 + 6000000)/2)
= 2500000 / 5000000
= 0.5
.................................

The amount of term loan instalment is Rs 15000/- per month, Monthly average interest on TL is Rs 10000/-. If the amount of depreciation is Rs 30000/- p.a and PAT is Rs 300000/-. What would be the DSCR?

Since DSCR = (interest + PAT + Depriciation) / ( interest + instalment of TL )
= (10000×12 + 300000 + 30000)/(10000×12 + 15000×12)
= (120000 + 330000) / (120000 + 180000)
= 450000/300000
= 1.5
.............................................

The amount of term loan installment is Rs 15000/- per month, monthly average interest on TL is Rs 7500/-. If the amount of depreciation is Rs 100000/- p.a and PAT is Rs 350000/-. What would be the DSCR?

Since DSCR = (interest + PAT + Depriciation) / (interest + instalment of TL)
DSCR = (7500×12 + 350000 + 100000)/(7500×12 + 15000×12)
= (90000 + 350000 + 100000) / (90000 + 180000)
= 540000 / 270000
= 2

Questions on Propability / Sampling / Standard Deviation, Standard Error, Co-variance

A bank calculates that its individual savings accounts are normally distributed with a mean of Rupees 2,000 and a standard deviation of Rupeess600. If the bank takes a random sample of 100 accounts, what is the probability that the sample mean will lie between Rupees 1,900 and Rupees 2,050?

Standard Error = SD / √(N)
= 600 / √100
= 600 / 10
= 60

Using the equation
z = (x bar minus Mu)/SE

we get 2 z values

for x bar = Rs. 1900,
z = (1900 - 200) / 60
= (-100) / 60
= -1.67

for x bar = Rs. 2050,
z = (2050 - 200) / 60
= 50 / 60
= 0.83
Probability table gives us probability of 0.4525 corresponding to a z value of –1.67, and it gives probability of 0.2967 for a z value of 0.83. If we add these two together, we get 0.7492 as the total probability that the sample mean will lie between Rs. 1900 and Rs. 2,050.
.............................................

A jar contains 3 red marbels, 7 green marbels and 10 white marbles. If a marble is drawn at random, What is the probability that marble drawn is white?

Here Red = 3
Green = 7
White = 10
Hence total sample space is (3+7+10)= 20
Out of 20 one ball is drawn n(S) = {c(20,a.} = 20

To find the probability of occurrence of one White marble out of 10 white ball
n(R)={c(10,a.} = 10

Hence P(R) = n(R)/n(S)
= 10/20 = 1/2
........................................................

We have six students say A, B, C, D, E, F participating in a quiz contest. Out of six students only two can reach to the final. What is the probability of reaching to the final of each student ?

Since out of 6, 2 can reach the final. Hence sample space is
n(S) = 6 c2 = 6!/(6-b.!×2! = 15
Here event of occurrence of probability of each student out of six (A B C D E F) = (AB AC AD AE AF) = n(E) = 5
Now P(E) = 5/15 = 1/3
........................................................

An bag contains 10 black balls and 5 white balls. 2 balls are drawn from the bag one after other without replacement. What is the probability that both drawn are black ?

Let E and F denote respective events that first and second ball drawn are black.
We have to find here P(E), P(E/F) and P(E n F )

Now P(E) = P(Black in first drawn) = 10/15

Also given that the first ball is drawn i.e events E has occurred. Now there are 9 black balls and 5 white balls left in the urn. Therefore the probability that the second ball drawn is black, given that the ball first drawn is black nothing but conditional probability of F given that E has occurred already.

Hence P(E/F) = 9/14

Now by the multiplication rule of probability
P(E n F) = P(E) × P(E/F)
= 10/15 × 9/14 = 3/7
........................................................

A sum of Rs. 32800 is borrowed to be paid back in 2 years by two equal annual installments allowing 5% compound interest. Find the annual payment.

Here,

PV =?
P = Rs. 32800
T = 2 years
R = 5% = 0.05

PV = P / R * [(1+R)^T - 1]/(1+R)^T

32800 = P × (1.052 – 1) ÷ (0.05 × 1.052)
P = 32800 ÷ 1.8594
P = 17640
.............................................

Find Standard Deviation and Coefficient of Variance for the values given : {13,35,56,35,77}

Number of terms (N) = 5

Mean:
Xbar = (13+35+56+35+77)/5
= 216/5
= 43.2

Standard Deviation (SD):
Formula to find SD is

σx= √(1/(N - 1)*((x1-xm)2+(x2-xm)2+..+(xn-xm)2))
=√(1/(5-1)((13-43.2)2+(35-43.2)2+(56-43.2)2+(35-43.2)2+(77-43.2)2))
=√(1/4((-30.2)2+(-8.2)2+(12.9)2+(-8.2)2+(33.8)2))
=√(1/4((912.04)+(67.24)+(163.84)+(67.24)+(1142.44)))
=√(588.2)
=24.2528

Coefficient of variation (CV)
CV = Standard Deviation / Mean
= 24.2528/43.2
= 0.5614

Hence the required Coefficient of Variation is 0.5614
.............................................

A bank calculates that its individual savings accounts are normally distributed with a mean of Rupees 2,000 and a standard deviation of Rupeess600. If the bank takes a random sample of 100 accounts, what is the probability that the sample mean will lie between Rupees 1,900 and Rupees 2,050?

Standard Error = SD / √(N)
= 600 / √100
= 600 / 10
= 60

Using the equation
z = (x bar minus Mu)/SE

we get 2 z values

for x bar = Rs. 1900,
z = (1900 - 200) / 60
= (-100) / 60
= -1.67

for x bar = Rs. 2050,
z = (2050 - 200) / 60
= 50 / 60
= 0.83
Probability table gives us probability of 0.4525 corresponding to a z value of –1.67, and it gives probability of 0.2967 for a z value of 0.83. If we add these two together, we get 0.7492 as the total probability that the sample mean will lie between Rs. 1900 and Rs. 2,050.

1. Consumptions - Rs. 30000
2. Gross investment - Rs. 40000
3. Govt spending - Rs. 20000
4. Export - Rs. 70000
5. Import - Rs. 60000
6. Taxes - Rs. 5000
7. Subsidies(on production and import) - RS. 1000
8. Compensation of employee - Rs. 500
9. Property Income - Rs. 500
7,8,9 - Net receivable from aboard
10.Total capital gains from overseas investment - Rs. 1500
11.Income earned by foreign national domestically - Rs. 500

Calculate GNP

GDP = Consumption + Gross investment + Government spending + (Exports - Imports)
GDP = C+I+G+(X-M)
= 30000+40000+20000+(70000-60000)
= 100000

GNP=GDP+NR(total capital gains from Overseas investment-income earned by foreign national domestically)
= 100000 + (1500-500)
= 101000

Questions on Business Mathematics

Find the present value of quarterly payment of Rs. 250 for 5 years @ 12% compounded quarterly.

Here,

P = Rs. 250
T = 5 years = 5 × 4 = 20 quarters
R = 12% = 12% ÷ 4 = 0.03% quarterly

PV = P / R * [(1+R)^T - 1]/(1+R)^T
PV = 250 × (1.0320 – 1) ÷ (0.03 × 1.0320)
= 3719
.............................................

Mr x is to receive Rs. 10000, as interest on bonds by end of each year for 5 years @ 5% roi. Calculate the present value of the amount he is to receive.

Here,

P = 10000
R = 5% p.a.
T = 5 Y

PV = P / R * [(1+R)^T - 1]/(1+R)^T

PV to be received, if the amount invested at end of each year:
So,
FV = (100000÷0.05) * {(1+0.05)^5 – 1} ÷ (1+0.05)^5
= 43295
.............................................

X opened a recurring account with a bank to deposit Rs. 16000 by the end of each year @ 10% roi. How much he would get at the end of 3rd year?

Here,

P = 16000
R = 10% p.a.
T = 3 yrs

FV = P / R * [(1+R)^T - 1]

FV = 16000 * (1.13 – 1) ÷ 0.1
= 52960

Questions on Bond/YTM

A bond has been issued with a face value of Rs. 1000 at 10% Coupon for 3 years. The required rate of return is 8%. What is the value of the bond if the Coupon amount is payable on half-yearly basis?

Here,

FV = 1000
CR = 10% half-yearly = 5% p.a.
Coupon = FV × CR = 50
R = 8% yearly = 4% p.a.
t = 3 years

Bond Price = (1/(1+R)^t)((coupon*((1+R)^t-1)/R)+Face Value)

= 1052

.............................................

A console bond of Rs. 10000 is issued at 6%. Coupon current interst rates and 9%. Find out the current value of the console bond.
