The company paid P2 in dividends and retained P2 per share. Since total retained earnings rose by P12 M,
there must be 6 million shares outstanding. With a book value of P40 per share, total common equity
must be P40 (6 million) = P240 million. Since the company has P120 million of debt, its debt ratio
must be 33.3 percent.
EPS = 4
Dividend per share = 2
Increase in Retained earnings 2 = P12,000,000

2. Accounts receivable variables under control of the financial manager include level of credit sales, terms of
credit sales, and quality of credit customers.
3. If upon examination of a firm’s existing credit policy it is discovered that bad debt losses have increased
for certain credit groups, it does not follow that extension of credit to those groups should be withheld.
4. An aging of accounts receivable measures the amount of receivables that have been outstanding for given
lengths of time.

discount customers are expected to rise to 50%. Regardless of the credit terms, half of the customers who do
not take the discount are expected to pay on time, whereas the remainder will pay 10 days late. The change
does not involve a relaxation of credit standards; therefore bad debt losses are not expected to rise above their
present 2% level. However, the more generous cash discount terms are expected to increase sales from P2
million to P2.6 million per year. DBA’s variable cost ratio is 75%, the interest rate on funds invested in accounts
receivable is 9 %, and the firm’s income tax rate is 40%.
Required:
1. What is the days sales outstanding (DSO) before the change of credit policy? 27 days
2. What is the days sales outstanding (DSO) after the change of credit policy? 22.5 days
3. How much is the incremental after tax profit from the change in credit terms? P68,493.75
(150,000-843.75-12,000-23,000)*60%

Werpa Inc, after computing the annualized cost of the credit terms is considering relaxing its credit
standards to encourage more sales. As a result, sales are expected to increase by 15 percent from the current 600
units per year. The average collection period is expected to increase to 40 days from 30 days and bad debts are
expected to double the current 3 percent level. The selling price per unit is ₱1,550, the variable cost per canoe is
₱750 and the average cost per unit at the 600 unit level is ₱900. The firm's required return on investment is 20
percent. (Assume a 300-day year; for intermediate computations, use 2 d.p.)
Required:
1. What is the firm's additional profit contribution from sales under the proposed relaxation of credit
standards?
2. What is the cost of marginal investments in accounts receivable under the proposed plan?
3. What is the cost of marginal bad debts under the proposed plan?
4. What is the net result of implementing the proposed plan?

Lodi Optical, Inc, offers branded designer prescription eyeglasses. All sales are currently on credit
and with no cash discount. The firm is considering a 2 percent cash discount for payment within 10 days. The
firm's current average collection period is 90 days, sales are 700 units per year, selling price is ₱25,000 per unit,
variable cost per unit is ₱18,750, and the average cost per unit is ₱21,000. The firm expects that the change in
credit terms will result in a minor increase in sales of 15 units per year, that 75 percent of the sales will take the
discount, and the average collection period will drop to 72 days. The firm's bad debt expense is expected to
become negligible under the proposed plan. The bad debt expense is currently 0.025 percent of sales. The firm's
required return on equal-risk investments is 20 percent. (Assume a 360-day year.)
Required:
1. What is the marginal investment in accounts receivable under the proposed plan?
2. What is the cost of marginal investment in accounts receivable under the proposed plan?
3. What are the savings of marginal bad debts under the proposed plan?
4. What is the cost of the marginal cash discount?
5. What is the net result of increasing the cash discount?
Chapter 5 Inventory Management
Answer Key
1. The financial manager’s general disposition toward inventory levels is to keep them low, to ensure that
the firm’s money is not being unwisely invested in excess resources.
2. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Model is an inventory management technique for determining an
item’s optimal order size
3. Ordering costs are the variable costs per unit of holding an item in inventory for a specific period.
4. The safety stock is the point at which to reorder inventory, expressed as days of lead time daily usage.
5. As the inventory turnover ratio increases, the inventory conversion cycle increases.
6. Firms should hold the maximum amounts of inventories that will ensure productions schedules or the
satisfaction of customer expectations.
7. The reorder point is an inventory management system that compares production needs to available
inventory balances and determines when orders should be placed for various items on a firm's bill of
materials.
8. Safety stock is used as a buffer against unexpected increases in demand, uncertainty about lead time, and
unavailability of stock from suppliers.
9. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an inventory management technique that minimizes inventory
investment by having materials arrive at exactly the time they are needed for production.
10. A materials requirement planning (MRP) system is an inventory management technique that applies EOQ
concepts and a computer to compare production needs to available inventory balances and determine
when orders should be placed for various items on a product’s bill of materials.
11. A purchasing manager would purchase higher inventories when prices are low and lower inventories
when prices are high irrespective of inventory requirement.
12. A marketing manager would like to have smaller inventories of finished products to ensure production of
goods as per customer specification.
13. A financial manager would keep inventory levels low to ensure that the firm's money is not unwisely
invested in excess resources
14. A manufacturing manager would keep raw materials inventories low to ensure use of latest materials in
production process.
15. Because its objective is to maximize inventory investment, a JIT system uses no (or very little) safety stock.
16. In a JIT system, extensive coordination among the firm’s employees, its suppliers, and shipping companies
must exist to ensure that material inputs arrive on time.
17. The costs of goods acquired from suppliers including incoming freight or transportation costs are called
purchasing costs.
18. Firms should hold the maximum amounts of inventories that will ensure productions schedules or the
satisfaction of customer expectations.
19. The economic-order-quantity decision model takes into account occurrence of stockouts.
20. As the inventory turnover ratio increases, the inventory conversion cycle increases.
21. In EOQ model, the average inventory is defined as the order quantity divided by 2.
22. In the EOQ model, the total cost is minimized at the point where the order costs and carrying costs are
equal.
23. The reorder point is an inventory management system that compares production needs to available
inventory balances and determines when orders should be placed for various items on a firm's bill of
materials.
24. Safety stock is used as a buffer against unexpected increases in demand, uncertainty about lead time, and
unavailability of stock from suppliers.
25. The objective for managing inventory is to improve the average collection period without affecting the
sales

The company must adopt the new policy, quantitatively it increased its net income.
1. The use of short-term debt provides flexibility in financing since the firm is only paying interest when it is using
the borrowed funds.
2. A firm can reduce net working capital by substituting long-term financing, such as bonds, with short-term
financing, such as one-year notes payable.
3. Notes payable is a spontaneous source of financing.
4. Increasing the use of short-term debt versus long-term debt financing will increase profit.
5. Current liabilities have greater illiquidity risk due to the higher frequency that they have to be repaid or rolled
over.
6. Trade credit is a source of spontaneous financing.
7. Short-term debt is frequently less expensive because it provides the borrower more security.
8. Sources of financing repaid in six months to one year are usually categorized as long-term.
9. Major sources of secured credit include commercial banks, finance companies, and factors.
10. Inventory loans are considered an unsecured source of financing.
11. The cost of trade credit varies directly with the size of the cash discount and inversely with the length of time
between the end of the discount period and the final due date.
12. The continual practice of stretching on trade credit is potentially a very useful source of short-term credit for
the firm.
13. The effective cost to the borrower of an unsecured bank loan is increased if a compensating balance is required.
14. Minimizing working capital is accomplished by slowing down the cash conversion cycle.
15. The conventional method for financing permanent levels of accounts receivable and inventory is accounts
payable and accrued expenses.
16. A firm should take the cash discount if the firm's cost of borrowing from the bank is greater than the cost of

1 Breakeven analysis is a method of determining the point at which sales will just cover costs, and it
shows the magnitude of the firm's profits or losses if sales exceed or fall below that point.
2 Cash breakeven point is the breakeven point when noncash items are subtracted from fixed costs.
cash breakeven point = (P1,770,000 - P360,000) / P24 = 58,750.00 units
58,750 units x P40.00 2,350,000.00
3 Operating leverage is a measure of the extent to which fixed costs are used in a firm's operations.
a firm with a high percentage of fixed costs is said to have a high degree of operating leverage.

b AP = P200,000 / 9.4269 21,215.88
c AP = P200,000 / 8.0552 24,828.68
b Use table PV of Ordinary annuity of P1. The P100 million is a uniform periodic payment at the
end of series of years. Therefore it is an annuity.
PV of Annuity = P100,000,000 x 3.6048 = 360,480,000.00
In particular, note that Prudential is willing to lend more than in No. 1 even though the interest rate
is the same. Because the company will get its money back more quickly.

The trade-allowance really consists of a P3,000 adjustment of the selling price and a bonafide
P6,000 cash allowance for the old equipment. The relevant amount is the incremental cash outlay
of P33,000. The book value is irrelevant.
9.19 The quickest solution is to get the "net" inflows for each year:
1 End of year Inflows Outflows net flows
1 200,000.00 150,000.00 50,000.00
2 250,000.00 200,000.00 50,000.00

5 450,000.00 350,000.00 100,000.00
c at a 12% rate, NPV is positive, Therefore, to get an exact IRR, try a higher rate then interpolate.

Operating cash outflows P50,000 x 3.00 (150,000.00)

Investment in inventories - outflows P160,000 x 1 (160,000.00)
Liquidation value of inventories at terminal date P160,000 x .40 64,000.00
Disposal value of machine * P4,000 x .40 1,600.00
(261,400.00)
PV in favor of new machine - minimizes the PV of future costs 7,000.00
* could be excluded from both alternatives as they have the same amounts - irrelevant cost
Using the incremental cost analysis approach:
Net cash outlay (P62,000 - P15,000) P47,000 x 1 (47,000.00)
Liquidation value of inventory at time zero P40,000 x 1 40,000.00
Difference in recovery of cash from inventory
liquidation value at terminal date P40,000 x .40 (16,000.00)
Operating savings (P50,000 - P40,000) P10,000 x 3 30,000.00
Net present value in favor of new machine 7,000.00
2 IRR Alternative 1 could also be interpreted at cash inflows received at P1,000 for the next 10 years
plus P1,000 for the first 5 years.
P10,000 = PV pf P1,000 at X% for 10 years + PV of P1,000 at X% for the first 5 years.
Let F1 = be the value of X% for 10 years and F2 be the value of X% for 5 years
P10,000 = P1,000 (F1) + P1,000(F2)
P10,000 = P1,000 ( F1 + F2)
F1 + F2 = P10,000 / P1,000 = 10
F1 at 8% for 10 years = 6.7101 F2 at 8% for 5 years = 3.9927
F1 at 10% for 10 years = 6.1446 F2 at 10% for 5 years = 3.7908
at 8% (P1,000 x 6.7101) + (P1,000 x 3.9927) = P10,703
at 10% (P1,000 x 6.1446) + (P1,000 x 3.7908) = P9,935
Alternative 2
P10,000 = PV pf P1,500 at X% for 10 years
P10,000 = P1,500 (F)
F = P10,000 / P1,500 = 6.6667
At 8% F = 6.7101 6.7101 6.7101
true rate 6.6667
At 10%, F = 6.1446 6.1446
0.5655 0.0434
True rate = 8% + (.0434 / .5655) x 2% = 8% + .15% = 8.15%
3 The difference between the 9.83% return on Alternative 1 and the 8.15% return on alternative 2 is from the
fact that under Alt. 1, there are greater cash inflows during the first 5 years than under Alt. 2. Under the
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, early cash inflows are weighted more heavily than inflows of later
years since this method considers the time value of money.

4 Internal rate of return IRR
Them IRR is over 24.75%.
The factor is to be determined using the payback period which2.703
Because 2.7027, the closest factor in the five-year row of Table II is 2.745 at 24% and 2.689 at 25%.
(Remember, the higher the rate, the lower the factor.)
Get interest rates where the factor is in between.
To determine the exact or true rate:
6 The only change required is the determination of the present value of the salvage value
less the tax on the gain.
NOTE: We did not have to recompute annual net cash flows. The company still used P20,000 for
Depreciation expense, therefore at end of year 5, the book value is zero and there will be
a gain equal to the salvage value.

a Present value of P12,000 per year for 10 years at P12,000 x 6.000 72,000.00
Required investment 47,000.00
Net present value 25,000.00
The requirements of the problem focus on the incremental approach. The total project apporach could
view the problem as choosing the alternative that minimizes the net present value of the future costs:
Present:
Operating cash outflows, P10,000 x 6.00 (60,000.00)
Proposed:
Operating cash inflows, P2,000 x 6.00 12,000.00
Termination pay (28,000.00)
Equipment (19,000.00)
Total (35,000.00)
Difference in favor of proposed investment 25,000.00
b The minimum amount of annual revenue that the company would have to receive to justify the
investment would be theat amount yielding an incremental net present value of zero. As the initial
investment is constant, any change in the incremental net present value is due solely to a change in the
amount of revenue. Therefore, the maximum drop in the incremental net present value of P25,000 equals
the maximum drop in the present value of the revenue stream. This implies a maximum drop of
P25,000 / 6 = P4,167 in annual revenue and a minimum amount of annual revenue of P15,000 - P4,167 =
P10,833
Part 2 demonstrates sensitivity analysis, where the manager may see the potential impact of the
possible errors in the forecasts of revenue. Such analysis shows how much of a margin of safety is
available. In this case, his "best guess" is revenue of P15,000 ( in part 1). Sensitivity analysis shows
him that a decline of revenue would have to occur from P15,000 to P10,833 before the rate of return on the
project would decline to the minimum acceptable level.
Another approach to solve requirement 2 could be:
If 10% is the minimum acceptable rate of return, the minimum acceptable net present value must
be zero, using the 10% rate:
NPV = PV if future cash flows - initial investment
Let X = Annual cash inflow
Then 0 = 6.00(X) - 47,000
X = P47,000 / 6.00
X = P7,833
Present value of P7.833 per year for 10 years at 10% P7,833 x 6.00 47,000.00
Required investment 47,000.00
Net present value (0.00)
Note that the requirement asks for the minimum amount of revenue, as distinguished from the difference
in cash flows.
The following analysis shows that revenue can fall toP10,833. Note also that there can be negative
cash flows under both alternatives; the alternative with the least negative cash flow is preferable

The portfolio beta is a weighted average of the betas of the stocks within the portfolio
12. C
Step 1 Solve for risk-free rate
rs = 15% = rRF + (10% - rRF)2.0 = rRF + 20% - 2rRF
rRF = 5%
13. E
bHR = 2.0; bLR = 0.5. No changes occur
rRF = 10%. Decreases by 3% to 7%
rM = 15%. Falls to 11%
Now SML: ri = rRF + (rM - rRF)bi
rHR = 7% + (11% - 7%)2 = 7% + 4%(2) = 15%
rLR = 7% + (11% - 7%)0.5 = 7% + 4%(0.5) = 9
Difference 6%
14. B
Using your financial calculator you find the mean to be 10.8 and the population
standard deviation to be 15.715. The coefficient of variation is just the standard
deviation divided by the mean, or 15.715/10.8 = 1.4551 1.46
15. B
The expected rate of return will equal 0.25(25%) + 0.5(15%) + 0.25(5%) = 15%. The
variance of the expected return is 0.25(25% - 15%)2 + 0.5(15% -15%)2 + 0.25(5% - 15%)2 =

0.1339)(0.01 - 0.271) + 0.12(-0.21 - 0.1339)(0.37 - 0.271) = -0.0139

4. The standard deviation of the portfolio in part c would be the square root of [.672 * .152
+ .332 * .142 + 2(.67)(.33)(.5)(.15)(.14)] = 13.1%.
2. Beta for a portfolio equals the weighted sums of the individual betas. In this case, beta
for portfolio = 0.25(1) + 0.25(1.2) + .5(0.7) = 0.9
3. E(Return for portfolio) = 3 + 0.9*(9-3) = 8.4%
1. The expected return for A is .25(-5) + .5(8) + .25(12) = 5.75% and the expected return for
B is .25(-8) + .5(10) + .25(22) = 8.5%
2. The standard deviation for A is the square root of [25(-5-5.75)^2 + .5(8-5.75)^2 + .25(12-
5.75)^2] = 6.42% and the standard deviation for B is the square root of [.25(-8-8.5)^2 +
.5(10-8.5)^2 + .25(22-8.5)^2] = 10.62%
3. Stock B is riskier since its standard deviation of returns is higher. It is a more volatile
stock and thus should offer greater expected return
4. Two thirds of the time, returns should be within +/- 1 standard deviation of the
expected return. Thus for stock A, the range is 5.75% +/- 6.42% or between –.67 and
12.17%. For stock B, the range is 8.5% +/- 10.62% = -2.12 and 19.12
1. Mean = (0.30 x 7%) + (0.7 x 17%) = 14% per year. Standard deviation = 0.70 x 27% =
18.9% per year.
2. a.) Mean return on portfolio = Rf + (Rp - Rf)y = 7% + (17% - 7%)y = 7% + 10%y If the
mean of the portfolio is equal to 15%, then solving for y we will get: 15% = 7% +10%y =>
y = (15% - 7%)/10% => y = 0.8 Thus, in order to obtain a mean return of 15%, the client
must invest 80% of total funds in the risky portfolio and 20% in Treasure bills.
b.) Investment proportions of the client’s funds: • 20% in T-bills • 0.8 x 27% = 21.6% in
Stock A • 0.8 x 33% = 26.4% in Stock B • 0.8 x 40% = 32.0% in Stock C
3. a.) Portfolio standard deviation = y x 27%. If your client wants a standard deviation of
20%, then y = (20%/27%) = 0.7407 = 74.07% in the risky portfolio.
b.) Mean return = 7% + (17% - 7%)y = 7% + 10% (0.7407) = 7% + 7.407% = 14.407%.

c. As correlation decreases, standard deviation that measure total risk decreases. The risk
of a portfolio depends significantly on the correlation between the returns on the assets
in the portfolio. When the correlation is +1, the standard deviation of the portfolio is the
weighted average of the standard deviations of the individual assets. When the
correlation is less than +1, the standard deviation of the portfolio is less than the
weighted average of the standard deviations of the individual assets. By investing in
two shares that are less than perfectly correlated, Harry has achieved a diversification
benefit. This is demonstrated by the fact that when the correlation is 0.5, the risk of his
portfolio (13.45%) is less than the weighted average risk of the individual assets in the
portfolio (17.56%) when correlation coefficient is +1. In this case, the portfolio risk is
lowest (10.67%) when correlation coefficient is 0 but the expected returns are the same
throughout.
