K-Life financial services Limited uses risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) to measure performance on several aspects. In this regard, imagine that an investment officer wants to execute a transaction with the following characteristics: Probability of default (PD) = 30 basis points Loss given default (LGD) = 55% Exposure at default (EAD) = K 1.45 million Expected loss (EL) = K 2,750 This is a loan to a company in the Agro industrial. The firm’s economic capital (EC) model is based on the 99% confidence level, with an average standard deviation of 2.15%. The risk-free rate of return is 6%. Assume that the bank has set a RAROC hurdle rate of 15% and this transaction has a net profit of K10, 500. REQUIRED: Compute the K-life’s risk-adjusted rate of return on this transaction.

Manny Delgado is interviewing with the Bank of MF for a financial analyst position. The interviewer is interested in knowing whether he understands the EV-to-EBITDA multiple. Delgado explains that the enterprise value is determined by the market value of equity and total debt. He also points out an alternative measure of the enterprise value which considers the free cash flow to the firm. Delgado suggests that we need to subtract the investments on working capital and PPE when calculating the free cash flow to the firm. He further explains the reason we do so is due to the interest tax shield that the investments on working capital and PPE would create. Therefore, by excluding the investments on working capital and PPE, the EV[1]to-EBITDA ratio is not affected by the interest tax shield and is a consistently-defined ratio. Q: Is Delgado’s suggestion on the reason that the investment on working capital and PPE are excluded justifiable? Why?

A privately held corporation, is making plans for future investments that can increase growth. The company’s manager has recommended that the company “go public” by issuing common stock to raise the funds needed to support the growth. The current owners, who founded the firm, are worried that control of the firm will be diluted by this strategy. If the company undertakes an IPO, it is estimated that each share of stock will sell for $6.25, the investment banking fee will be 22 percent of the total value of the issue. If the founders must issue stock to finance the growth of the firm, what would you recommend they do to protect their controlling interest for at least a few years after the IPO?
