 TASK 1 DESCRIPTION – 50%
In the recent board meeting the Managing Director expressed concern with cross-business
strategic fit through related diversification along the value chain activities and value network of
the group. As part of the corporate-level strategy exercise, he approached you to assess the
financial performance of the group and its contribution towards shareholder value creation.

1. As the Group Finance Director for the group, one of your main tasks is to provide
competitive analysis of the key competitors, market offerings in the industry and identify the
market trends.

Critically evaluate the key drivers of change that have affected the industry and the group as a
whole.

Undertake secondary research and write a report on the performance of your group which
is listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia.
(NOTE: students not based at the LSC KL Campus may choose an alternative company with
agreement of their Lecturer)

Your report should critically evaluate the FOUR years of financial performance of the group. This
report should cover the areas of profitability, liquidity, efficiency, capital structure, investor returns
and shareholder value creation.

2. Your analysis must also include suggestions on why such trends prevail or change
accordingly. Meanwhile, you must state remedial action(s) to any weaknesses that you
have identified, areas for further investigation and state your recommendations clearly

Critically evaluate the group’s cash flow statement over the FOUR years and suggest possible
impact(s) of the changing environment on the group’s cash flow under the main headers cash flow
statement - cash flow from operation, investment and financing.

3. Your analysis must demonstrate the ability to engage in a critical discussion on the
sustainability of future cash flow, possible remedial action(s) and additional factors taken
into consideration.

Please note: it is your responsibility to check with your tutor if you are unclear about the
chosen company.

TASK 2 DESCRIPTION – 50%

SD Ltd is considering in investing in a new piece of machinery that will automate production and
save the company a significant amount of money. There are two options for the machinery, and
information about the initial investment and four different capital investment appraisal measures are
given in the table below. The cost of capital is estimated at 15%, and this figure has been used in
calculating the net present value.

G120 Z125
Initial investment £1,112,000 £3,232,000
Accounting rate of 18.0 % 14.7 %
return (ARR)
Payback period 2 years 10 months 3 years 8 months
Net present value (NPV) £284,864 £420,194

Internal rate of return 25% 20%

(IRR)

The management board of SD is about to attend a meeting to consider which option to choose. The
IRR measure was added after the original board papers were released. When asked to estimate the
IRR before calculating it, the company’s Finance Director confidently stated that it would be “well
over 15% for both options.”

The Z125 option would require all of SD’s major capital budget for the next three years to be allocated
to it, so it is absolutely vital that the correct option is chosen.

Required

a) Critically discuss the usefulness of the respective capital investment appraisal measures in the
table above and make a recommendation as to which option should be chosen.

b) Both payback and net present value (NPV) measure the financial viability of capital projects.
Suggest reasons why payback favours the G120 option and NPV the Z125 option in this case.

c) The IRR is quite difficult to calculate. Explain why the Finance Director was so confident that the
IRR would be well in excess of 15% for both options.

Page 4 of 15
d) At the management board meeting, the Technical Director produces details of a potential
purchase of new engine build plant that would cost £2,080,000 with a NPV of £140,800. Discuss
how this option would affect the capital investment decision to purchase either the G120 or Z125
machine.

 GUIDANCEFOR STUDENTS IN THE COMPLETION OF
TASKS
NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five generic assessment criteria overleaf.

1. Engagement with Literature Skills

Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s)
set; you should make use of scholarly reviews and primary sources, as appropriate (for example, refereed
research articles and/or original materials appropriate to the discipline). You should provide evidence that
you have accessed a wide range of sources, which may be academic, governmental and industrial; these
sources may include academic journal articles, textbooks, current news articles, organisational documents,
and websites. You should consider the credibility of your sources; academic journals are normally highly
credible sources while websites require careful consideration/selection and should be used sparingly. Any
sources you use should be current and up-to-date, mostly published within the last five years or so, though
seminal/important works in the field may be older. You must provide evidence of your research/own reading
throughout your work, using correctly a suitable referencing system, including in-text citations in the main
body of your work and a reference list at the end of your work.

Guidance specific to this assessment: Please see page 7 & 8 and academic protocol – quality of
academic references, the presentation of these and the overall structuring and format of the business
report

2. Knowledge and Understanding Skills

At level 7, you should be able to demonstrate asystematic understanding of knowledge, and a critical
awareness of current problemsand/or new insights, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of your
academicdiscipline, field of study or area of professional practice, with a comprehensive understanding of
techniques applicable to your own research oradvanced scholarship. Your work must demonstrate your
growing mastery of these concepts, principles, current challenges, innovation and insights associated with
the subject area. Knowledge relates to the facts, information and skills you have acquired through your
learning. You demonstrate your understanding by interpreting the meaning of the facts and information
(knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in your work the contemporary concepts,
techniques, models, theories, etc. appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to explain the theories,
concepts, etc. meaningfully to show your understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the extent
to which you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding; ideally each should be complete and detailed,
with comprehensive coverage.

Guidance specific to this assessment: Please see page 7 & 8

3. Cognitive and Intellectual Skills

You should be able to: evaluate critically current research and advanced scholarship in the discipline;
evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses;
deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively to make sound judgements in the absence of
complete data. Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For
example, to examine and break information down into parts, make inferences, compile, compare and contrast
information. This means not just describing what! But also justifying: Why? How? When? Who? Where? At
what cost? At all times, you must provide justification for your arguments and judgements. Evidence that
you have reflected upon the ideas of experts within the subject area is crucial to you providing a reasoned
and informed debate within your work. Your choice of methodologies to gather data and information must
be rigorously defended. Furthermore, you should provide evidence that you are able to make sound
judgements and convincing arguments using data and concepts. Sound, valid, persuasive conclusions are
necessary and must be derived from the content of your work. Where relevant, alternative solutions and
recommendations may be proposed.

Guidance specific to this assessment: Please see page 7 & 8

Page 6 of 15
4. Practical Skills
At level 7, you should be able to demonstrate originality in the application of knowledge, together with a
practical understanding ofhow established techniques of research and enquiry are used to create and
interpretknowledge in the discipline.This includes acting autonomously in planning and implementing tasks
at a professional orequivalent level, originality in tackling and solving problems, and decision-making in
complex and unpredictable contexts or situations.

You should be able to demonstrate mastery of the leading edgesubject-related concepts and ideas as they
relate to real world situations and/or particular contexts. How do they work in practice? You will deploy
models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in those contexts or circumstances, to assess current
situations, perhaps to formulate plans or plausible, justifiable recommendations to solve problems, or to
propose new models, or to create artefacts, which may be innovative and creative, thereby demonstrating
your understanding ofhow the boundaries of knowledge areadvanced through research and/or application.
This is likely to involve, for instance, the use of real worldartefacts, examples and cases, the application of a
model within an organisation and/or benchmarking one theory or organisation against others.

Guidance specific to this assessment: Please see page 7 & 8

5. Transferable Skills for Life and Professional Practice

Your work must provide evidence of the qualities and transferable skills necessary for postgraduate-level
employment in circumstances requiring sound judgement, personalresponsibility and initiative in complex
and unpredictable professional environments. This includes demonstrating:the independent learning ability
for continuing professional development to advance existing skills and acquire new competences of a
professional nature that will enable you to assume significant responsibility within organisations;that you can
initiate and complete tasks, projects and procedures, whether individually and/or collaboratively, to a
professional level; that you can use appropriate media to effectively communicate information, arguments
and analysis in a variety of forms for a variety of audiences; fluency of expression; clarity and effectiveness
in presentation and organisation.Work should be coherent and well-structured in presentation and
organisation.
