Video No #15 Illustration #4 GDR

AFM

answered on 06-Jan-23 12:02

Video No #15 Illustration #4 GDR I think we have to use next year dividend (i.e., D1) instead of D0 for calculation. Am I right? In this video, the current year dividend D0 is used for calculating the cost of GDR to Right Ltd.

latest answer

No. The question is clear Dividend expected to be paid which means net year divided which means D1

Doubt - Step-by-Step Computation (or Presentation)

AFM

answered on 03-Jan-23 11:12

In all the chapters of SFM, I've solved many problems on my own without looking the ISM answers. The FINAL ANSWERS are correct as per the book but the step-by-step computations provided in the ISM are totally different from my own computations. Will this affect my marks in exams?

latest answer

You have to do step by step - ICAI SM and suggested answers are not the right basis on which evaluation will happen in exams

Video No. 73. Illustration #39 - Multi Stage Dividend Model

AFM

answered on 02-Jan-23 05:39

Video No. 73. Illustration #39 - Multi Stage Dividend Model Sir, I think you have used the wrong PV factor to discount the Price of shares at year 8, we have to use the 16% perpetuity growth rate. I think the right Ke to discount those values are 19%, 18%, 17% & 16% for Year 5,6,7 & 8 respectively and not the original 20% which would be used only for the first 4 years. Since, it is a multi-stage dividend discount model. we have to consider the respective Ke for discounting it to the PV. Kindly check this issue.

latest answer

The question clearly states that Ke is 20% and the return expected by the investor is 20% - in such a case we will not be using any other discount rate even if the growth rate comes down. Secondly, they have provided a growth rate of dividends - we cannot equate dividend g to Ke. Thirdly even if we know g of dividends, one cannot find out ke without having the price - so the question of finding out different Ke for different points does not arise

Fate of Forward Contract

AFM

answered on 30-Dec-22 14:54

Sir, In illustration 82, able to understand the concept of Swap loss that you are getting early delivery so you are selling at 65.42 and buying at 65.22 to square off so incurring a loss of 0.20/$ which is 20,000. But not able to understand the interest cost on 18,000. 18,000 is still our loss na, why are considering interest component on that?

Security Analysis- The Dow Jones Theory

AFM

answered on 25-Dec-22 17:32

Hello Sir, In Dow Jones theory, I was not able to understand this sentence from the study material which says "The theory, in practice, states that if the cyclical swings of the stock market averages are successively higher and the successive lows are higher, then the market trend is up and a bullish market exists. Contrarily, if the successive highs and successive lows are lower, then the direction of the market is down and a bearish market exists."

Got it Himanshu, thanks!
