CAIIB-ABM-RECOLLECTED QUESTIONS FROM JUNE 2016-3


Friends, Updating here the recollected questions from June 2016 Exams. Wish you all the very best for your exam.

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

Find Correlation coefficient for X and Y values given below :
X= (1,2,3,4,5)
Y= {11,22,34,43,56}

a. 0.8899
b. 0.9989
c. 1.0899
d. 1.0989

Ans - b

Explanation :

Step 1: Find Mean for X and Y
X=15/5=3

Y=166/5=33.2

Step 2: Calculate Standard Deviation for Y inputs:
σx=
√(1/(N-1)*((x1-xm)2+(x2-xm)2+..+(xn-xm)2))

=√(1/(5-1)((11-33.2)2+(22-33.2)2+(34-33.2)2+(43-33.2)2+(56-33.2)2))

=√(1/4((-22.2)2+(-11.2)2+(0.8)2+(9.8)2+(22.8)2))

=√(1/4((492.84)+(125.44)+(0.64)+(96.04)+(519.84)))

=√(308.7)

=17.5699

Step 3: Standard Deviation for X Inputs:
σx=
√(1/(N-1)*((x1-xm)2+(x2-xm)2+..+(xn-xm)2))

=√(1/(5-1)((1-3)2+(2-3)2+(3-3)2+(4-3)2+(5-3)2))

=√(1/4((-2)2+(-1)2+(0)2+(1)2+(2)2))

=√(1/4((4)+(1)+(0)+(1)+(4)))

=√(2.5)

=1.5811

Σ((X - μx) (Y - μy))
=(1-3)(11-33.2)+(2-3)(22-33.2)+(3-3)(34-33.2)+(4-3)(43-33.2)+(5-3)(56-33.2)
=(-2*-22.2) + (-1*-11.2) + (0* 0.8) + (1 *9.8) + (2* 22.8)
=44.4 + 11.2 + 0 + 9.8 + 45.6
=111

Correlation Coefficient = 111/((5-1)*1.5811*17.5699)
Correlation Coefficient (r) = 0.9989
Hence the correlation coefficient between the two given data set is 0.9989

Cash = Rs 50000/-
Debtors = Rs 100000/-
Inventories = Rs 150000/-
Current liabilities = Rs 100000/-
Total current assets = Rs 300000/-
The quick ratio = ?

a. 1.5:1
b. 2:1
c. 3:1
d. 3:2

Ans - a

Let me Explain
Since Quick ratio = Quick asset / CL
Here Quick asset = CA- Inventory
Now CA= (Cash + Debtor.....etc ) = Rs 300000/-
Here inventories = 150000/-
CL = 100000/-
Hence QR= 150000/100000
i.e 1.5:1

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

Current ratio of a unit is 2:1 and quick ratio is 1:1. The level of current assets is Rs 20 lac. Find out the amount of quick asset.

a. Rs 8 lac
b. Rs 10 lac
c. Rs 12 lac
d. Rs 15 lac

Ans - b

Let me Explain

Since CR = CA: CL
CR= CA:CL = 2:1
i.e. 20:CL= 2:1
i.e CL = 10 lac

Now QR= 1:1
Since QR= Quick asset/CL ( here quick asset is CA-Inventory )
Hence QA= CL ~ 10 lac

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

Liabilities→
Capital =180
Reserve =20
Term loan = 300
Bank C/C=200
Trade creditors=50
Provision=50
Total liabilities = 800

Asset→
Net fixed Assets =400
Inventories=150
Cash =50
Receivables= 150
Good will=50
Total assets =800

a. Net worth= ?
b. Tangible net worth = ?
c. Net working capital = ?
d. Quick ratio = ?
e. Current ratio =?
f. Outside liability =?

The correct answer is
a. net worth = 200
b. tangible net worth = 150
c. net working capital = 50
d. Quick ratio= 0.66:1
e. Current ratio = 1.17:2
f. OSL = 600

Given,

Currency with public - Rs. 90000 Crores
Demand deposit with banking system - Rs. 180000 Crores
Time deposits with banking system - Rs. 220000 Crores
Other deposit with RBI - Rs. 260000 Crores
Savings deposit of post office savings banks - Rs. 60000 Crores
All deposit with post office savings bank excluding NSCs - Rs. 50000 Crores

Calculate M2.

a. Rs. 470000 Crores
b. Rs. 550000 Crores
c. Rs. 590000 Crores
d. Rs. 630000 Crores

Ans - c

Solution :

M1 = currency with public + demand deposit with the banking system + other deposits with RBI
M1 = 90000+180000+260000
M1 = 530000
M2 = M1+Savings deposit of post office savings banks
So,
M2 = 530000+60000
M2 = 590000 Crores

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

Given,

Currency with public - Rs. 90000 Crores
Demand deposit with banking system - Rs. 180000 Crores
Time deposits with banking system - Rs. 220000 Crores
Other deposit with RBI - Rs. 260000 Crores
Savings deposit of post office savings banks - Rs. 60000 Crores
All deposit with post office savings bank excluding NSCs - Rs. 50000 Crores
Calculate M4.

a. Rs. 750000 Crores
b. Rs. 800000 Crores
c. Rs. 810000 Crores
d. Rs. 870000 Crores

Ans - b

Solution :

M4 = M3+All deposit with post office savings bank excluding NSCs
M3 = M1+Time deposit with banking system
M1 = currency with public + demand deposit with the banking system + other deposits with RBI
M1 = 90000+180000+260000
M1 = 530000

So,
M3 = M1+Time deposit with banking system
M3 = 530000+220000
M3 = 750000 Crores

So,
M4 = M3+All deposit with post office savings bank excluding NSCs
M4 = 750000+50000
M4 = 800000 Crores

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

Current yield on an 8% Rs. 100 bond is 7.5%. The price of the bond is ......

a. 104.67
b. 105.67
c. 106.67
d. 107.67

Ans - c

Explanation :

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

(Here, t = 1

So, price

= (Coupon + Face Value) ÷ (1 + R)
= (8 + 100) ÷ 1.075 = 100.465)

But, since Coupon Interest = Current Yield × Current Market Price
So, Price = 8 ÷ 7.5% = 8000 ÷ 75 = 106.67

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

A bond has been issued with a face value of Rs. 1000 at 8% Coupon for 3 years. The required rate of return is 7%. What is the value of the bond?

a. 1062.25
b. 1625.25
c. 1026.25
d. 1052.25

Ans – c

Explanation :

Here,

FV = 1000
Coupon Rate (CR) = 0.08
t = 3 yr
R (YTM) = 0.07
Coupon = FV × CR = 80

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

So, Value of bond = 1026.25
(Since Coupon rate > YTM, so Bond’s Value > FV)

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

What is the price of a 20-year, zero-coupon bond with a 5.1% yield and Rs. 1000 face value?

a. Rs. 359
b. Rs. 369
c. Rs. 379
d. Rs. 389

Ans - b

Solution :

PV = 1000/(1+0.051)^20
= 369

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

A bond is issued with a face value of 1000 that pays a Rs. 25 Coupon semi-annually. Find its Coupon rate.

a. 4
b. 5
c. 6
d. 7

Ans - b

Explanation :

Coupon = Face Value × Coupon Rate
25 = 1000 × CR ÷ 2
So, CR = 5%
