Kate Winsslav, the product development manager, has identified an opportunity to produce and sell a new personal care product, and she provides you with the information set out below as a basis for a financial analysis of the proposal.  Production equipment will cost €75,000, and it will be depreciated for tax purposes on a straight line basis over the life of the project ignoring residual value. However, the equipment is expected to have a pre-tax residual value of €10,000 at the end of year three.  If the new production equipment is purchased, some existing machines will be sold immediately for an estimated €25,000. Otherwise, they will be sold in five years time for €5,000. These machines are now fully depreciated for tax purposes.  Based on market surveys, she forecasts that sales will be as follows over the three-year life of the project: Year 1 €120,000 Year 2 €190,000 Year 3 €170,000  Variable production, marketing and distribution costs are expected to amount to 55% of sales revenue, leaving a contribution of 45% to cover fixed costs and to provide an element of profit. Fixed costs directly associated with the product line are expected to amount to €55,000 per year, including depreciation.  Kate does not expect that the introduction of the new product should require any additional expenditure on general administrative costs. However, company policy dictates that a charge equal to 10% of sales is levied on all product lines each year, representing an allocation of the general administrative costs of the overall company.  Additional working capital will also be required. Kate has produced the following forecast of the required levels of working capital at various stages in the life of the project:  Time 0 Time 1 Time 2 Time 3 Required Working Capital €15,000 €28,000 €28,000 €0 Question 1 continued overleaf….. 5 ……/ Question 2 continued (c ) Given that the required rate of return for a security includes the risk-free rate of return and a risk premium, outline and explain the factors that determine or influence (i) the risk-free rate, and (ii) the risk premium. (6 Marks) [Total: 30 Marks] Question 3 Smart Parts Ltd is a distributor of a range of standard cookware. It has recently appointed a new finance director who has concluded that the business does not have sufficient control over it’s stocks/inventories. Within the first few weeks of taking up the new job, she found evidence of both overstocking and understocking of many items. She believes that the longer term solution to these problems is to adopt a just-in- time approach for many items. However in the short term she has started to implement a stock management policy to help minimise costs. As a starting point, the company has decided to implement the Economic Order Quantity model to better manage it’s stock of ‘Therma’ cookware. Each ‘Therma’ cookware item costs €60 to purchase and the cost of holding one item is estimated at €20 per quarter. The ordering cost is €50 and the annual sales demand, which arises evenly over the year, is 8,000 ‘Therma’ cookware items. Required: (a) Based on annual demand calculate each of the following: (i) The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ). (5 Marks) (ii) The number of orders required per year. (2 Marks) (iii) The average stock carried. (2 Marks) (iv) The average stock costs (to include purchase, ordering and holding costs). (6 Marks) (v) The stock reorder point, assuming the lead time between placement of an order and receipt of an order is 4 days and assuming a 320 day working year. (5 Marks) (b) Identify and discuss the types of cost that may be incurred by the business when holding: (i) Too much stock, and (ii) Too little stock. (5 Marks) (c) Explain the concept of Just in Time in relation to purchasing and production systems in an organisation.

Page 11 Financial Formulae  Present Value: PV0 = FVN / (1 + i)N  Present Value of a Perpetuity: PV0 = CF / i  Present Value of a Growing Perpetuity: PV0 = CF1 / (i – g)  PV of Annuity Due: PV(Ordinary Annuity) x (1 + i)  Value of a Debt Security: N P0 =  Int / (1 + Kd)t + M /(1 + Kd)N t = 1  Value of a Irredeemable Preference Share: N Po =  Div / KP t = 1  Dividend Valuation Model with Constant Growth: P0 = Div1 / (KE - g)  Cost of Equity using Constant Growth Dividend Valuation Model KE = (Div1 / P0) + g  Net Present Value N NPV = - NINVo +  CF t / (1 + K)t t = 1  Capital Asset Pricing Model: E(RJ) = RF +  j ( E(RM ) - RF)  Economic Order Quantity:  Weighted Average Cost of Capital: KO = KE (E/V) + KP (P/V) + KDT (D/V) CostCarrying Demand*CostOrder*2*Q 
