PROGRAM -  MBA
SUBJECT CODE & NAME - MF0010 & SECURITY ANALYSIS AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT


1.  Financial markets bring the providers and users in direct contact without any intermediary. Financial markets permits the businesses and governments to raise the funds needed by sale of securities. Describe the money market/capital market – features and its composition.

A. Money market- features and composition

The  money  market  facilitates  interaction  between  supply  and  demand  of short-term  funds,  with  maturity  of  a  year  or  less.  Most  money  market transactions  are  made  in  marketable  securities  which  are  short-term  debt instruments such as T-bills and commercial paper.

Money  (currency)  is  not  actually  traded  in  the  money  markets.  The securities traded in the money market are short-term with high liquidity and low-risk. They are called ‘money equivalents’.
Money market provides investors a place for parking surplus funds for short periods  of  time.  It  also

You are required to calculate the expected ROR and risk in terms of standard deviation.

A.  Explanation of all the 4 factors that affect risk

The common risk factors are:
Business  risk:  As  a  security  holder  you  get  dividends,  interest  or principal (on maturity in case of securities like bonds) from the firm. But there is a possibility that the firm may not be able to pay you due to poor financial  performance.  This  possibility  is  termed  as  business  risk.  The poor  financial  performance  could  be  due  to  economic  slowdown,  poor demand for the firm’s goods and services and large operating expenses. Such a  performance affects  the  equity and the debt holder.  The  equity
holder  may  not  get  dividends  and  residual  claim  on  the  income  and wealth  of  the  firm.  Similarly  a  debt  holder  may  not  get  interest  and principal payments.

Inflation risk:  It  is the possibility that  the money you invested will have less  purchasing power  when your financial goal is met. This  means,  the rupee you get when you sell your asset buys  lesser  than the

3.  Explain the business cycle and leading coincidental & lagging indicators. Analyse the issues in fundamental analysis.


Business cycle and leading coincidental and lagging indicators

All  economies  experience  recurrent  periods  of  expansion  and  contraction. This  recurring  pattern  of  recession  and  recovery  is  called  business  cycle. The  business  cycle  consists  of  expansionary  and  recessionary  periods. When  business  activity  reaches  a  high  point,  it peaks.  A  low  point  on  the cycle  is  called  trough.  Troughs  represent  the  end  of  a  recession  and  the beginning of an expansion. Peaks represent the end of an expansion and the beginning of a recession.

In  the  expansion  phase,  business  activity  grows,  production  and  demand increases,  and  employment  expands.  Businesses  and  consumers  borrow more  for  investment  and  consumption  purposes.  As  the  cycle  moves  into the peak, demand for goods overtakes supply and prices rise. This

4.  Explain the implications of Efficient Market Hypothesis EMH for security analysis and portfolio management.

A.  Implications for active and passive investment

Proponents of EMH often advocate passive as opposed to active investment strategies. Active management is the art of stock-picking and market-timing. The  policy  of  passive  investors  is  to  buy  and  hold  a  broad-based  market index.  Passive  investors  spend  neither  on  market  research,  on  frequent purchase nor on sale of shares.

The efficient market debate plays an important role in the decision between active  and  passive  investing.  Active  managers  argue  that  less  efficient markets  provide  the  opportunity  for  skilful  managers  to  outperform  the market. However, it is important to realise that a majority of active

5.  Explain about the interest rate risk and the two components in it.
An investor is considering the purchase of a share of XYZ Ltd. If his required rate of return is 10%, the year-end expected dividend is Rs. 5 and year-end price is expected to be Rs. 24, Compute the value of the share.

Interest  rate  risk:  The  cash  flows  from  a  bond  (coupon  payments  and  principal repayment) remain fixed  though interest rate keeps changing. As a  result, the value of a bond fluctuates. Thus interest rate risk arises because the changes in the market interest rates affect the value of the bond. The  return on a bond comes from coupons payments, the  interest earned from  re-investing coupons (interest on interest), and capital gains. Since coupon payments are fixed, a change in the interest rates affects interest on interest  and capital gains or losses. An increase in interest rates decreases the price  of  a  bond  (capital  loss)  but  increases  the  interest  received  on  reinvested  coupon  payments  (interest  on  interest).  A  decrease  in  interest  rates  increases  the  price  of  a  bond  (capital  gain)

6. Elucidate the risk and returns of foreign investing. Analyse international listing.

A.  Explanation of all the points in risks and returns from foreign investing

International investing provides superior returns adjusted for risk. Allocating  some portion of one's portfolio to foreign assets provides better risk-cover  than  a  portfolio  of  only  domestic  assets.  International  equities  also  offer  access  to  a  broader  spectrum  of  economies  and  opportunities  that  can  provide  for  further  diversification  benefits.  Some  of  the  best  performing  companies  in  the  world  like  General  Electric,  Exxon  Mobil  and  Microsoft  have shares that are listed on overseas stock markets. If an investor wants to profit from the growth of large global companies, he would have to invest  internationally.

However,  there  are  costs  and  risks  of  international  investing.  In  smaller  markets,  an  investor  may  have  to  pay  a  premium  to  purchase  shares  of  popular  companies.  In  some  countries,  there  may

PROGRAM - MBA
SEMESTER - III
SUBJECT CODE & NAME - MF0011 – MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS


1.  Explain the types of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Types of Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions can take several forms.

1.  Horizontal:  It  is  a  merger  of  two  competing  firms  engaged  in  the  production  of  similar  products  or  providing  similar  services.  The  acquiring firm belongs to the same industry as the target company. The main  purpose  of  such  mergers  is  to  obtain  economies  of  scale  in production  by  eliminating  duplication  of  facilities,  widening  the  product line,  reduction  in  investment,  elimination  of  competition  in  product market, increase of market share, reduction in advertising costs etc.

2.  Concentric: This is a variation of horizontal mergers. It is a combination of  two  firms  that  are  not  in  the  same  industry  but  operate  in  related industrial segments. For instance a company with a chain

2.  Explain basic steps in organizing a merger. Explain the owners decision to sell the business

a)  Explanation of basic steps in organizing a merger

Steps in Organizing a Merger

The steps in an exercise of organising an acquisition are as follows:

Step 1:  Pre-acquisition  review:  The preeminent reason for acquisition is growth, and in this step the company management reviews the company’s growth plans, alternatives to achieving the growth, and the pros and cons of each alternative.

Pre-acquisition review includes answers to the following questions:

•  Is  our  company  undervalued?  What  should  we  do  to  protect  our valuation?
•  Why  are  we  unable  to  grow  or  sustain  market  share?  Will  acquisition help?

3.  Explain about Operating synergy and the role of Industry Lifecycle

a)  Explanation of Operating synergy

Operating synergy

Synergies  that  enable  companies  to  raise  their  operating  income  from existing  assets,  increased  growth  or  both  are  referred  to  as  operating synergies. They are of four types:

1.  Economies  of  scale:  It  may  result  from  the  merger,  enabling  the combined firm to become more cost efficient and profitable.  Economies of  scales  can  be  seen  in  mergers  of  firms  in  the  same  business (horizontal mergers).

For  example,  two  banks  merging  to  create  a  larger  bank  -  like  HDFC bank  with  Centurion  Bank  of  Punjab  is  an  example  of  cost  reduction through economies of scale.  The merged bank  can  be  expected  to cut costs considerably on  an  account of sharing of resources and avoiding duplication of facilities.

4.  Write Short notes on :
1)  Internalisation decision
2)  Recommendation for effective Cross-border Acquisition
3)  Role of government policies in international M&A

1)  Internalisation decision

The  internalisation  decision  is  similar  to  a  make-or-buy  decision.  The transaction  and  coordination  costs  of  internalisation  have  to  be  compared with costs of an external relationship like a joint venture. These costs are the potential  for  holdup,  loss  of  control  over  proprietary  knowledge,  risk  of creating potential rivals, and opportunistic behaviour by JV partners. Other issues  are  wrong  selection  of  alliance  partner,  moral  hazards,  inability  to enforce accountability for performance failure of the alliance and inability to get benefits from the alliance commensurate with the contribution made and the risk taken.


2)  Recommendation for effective Cross-border Acquisition

Each  cross-border  merger  or  acquisition  is  unique  in  itself  in  terms  of  its challenges, opportunities and threats. However some basic guidelines have emerged from the practices adopted. These are

5.  Explain the types of takeovers. Explain defenses against takeover bids.

Types of Takeovers

Takeovers are of different types.

1. Bailout takeovers

Bailout takeover refers to a substantial acquisition of shares in a financially weak  company  in  pursuance  to  a  scheme  of  rehabilitation  approved  by  a public financial institution or a scheduled bank. The lead institutions would be responsible for ensuring compliance with the code. They would appraise the financially weak company taking into account the financial viability, and assess  the  requirement  of  funds  for  revival  and  transparency.  The rehabilitation  scheme  has  also  to  specifically  provide  the  details  of  any change  in  management.  It  may  provide  for  acquisition  of  shares

6.  Explain the factors in Post-merger integration and Five rules of Integration Process.

Factors in Post-merger Integration

Some important factors that can decide the success or failure of a merger or acquisition are:
Due diligence: Thorough  due diligence involves comprehensive analysis of the  financial  position,  management  capabilities,  physical  assets  and intangible assets of the target company. However, it can result in failure of the project if done badly.

Financing: Manageable debt levels should be ensured.
Complementary  resources:  Ideal  conditions  for  a  merger  are  when  the ‘primary resources of the acquiring and target firms are somewhat different, yet simultaneously supportive of one another.’ Therefore, companies should seek for such a situation.

Compute the capital gain chargeable to tax for the AY2016-17.

Answer:

Categories of capital assets

For taxation purposes, the capital assets have been, divided into (a) short-term capital assets and (b) long-term capital assets.

(a) Short-term capital assets: According to Section 2(42A), a short-term capital asset means a capital asset held by an assessee for not more than:
a. 12 months before its transfer in case of company shares, (equity or preference), or any other security listed in a recognized stock exchange, or units of UTI and mutual funds or a zero coupon bond, and
b. 36 months before its transfer in the case of any other asset

Capital gains arising from the transfer of short-term capital asset are called short-term capital gains.

Q3. Explain major considerations in capital structure planning. Write about the dividend policy and factors affecting dividend decisions.

Major considerations in capital structure planning

Broadly, the following factors would be worth considering, while planning the capital structure.

1. Risk of two kinds, that is, financial risk and business risk: In the context of capital structure planning, financial risk is more relevant. Financial risk is of two types:

(a) Risk of cash illiquidity: As a firm raises more debt, its risk of cash illiquidity increases. This is for two reasons. First, higher proportion of debt in the capital structure increases the commitments of the company with regard to fixed charges that is, interest on borrowed capital and instalments in which it has to be repaid. If the cash is not enough to meet these commitments the company will be in a liquidity

Q5. Explain the Service Tax Law in India and concept of negative list. Write about the exemptions and rebates in Service Tax Law.

Service Tax Law in India: Service tax was introduced in India in 1994 by Chapter V of the Finance Act, 1994. It was imposed on an initial set of three services in 1994 and the scope of the service tax has since been expanded continuously by subsequent Finance Acts.

There is no separate Service Tax Act, but all pronouncements relating to service tax are in the annual Finance Acts. Service Tax Rules, 1994 were enacted to begin with, and with notifications from time to time the law has been amended and updated.
The new section 65B introduced in the Finance Act, 2012 defines services in Clause 44.

Q6. What do you understand by customs duty? Explain the taxable events for imported,warehoused and exported goods. List down the types of duties in customs.

An importer imports goods for subsequent sale in India at $10,000 on assessable value basis. Relevant exchange rate and rate of duty are as follows.


Calculate assessable value and customs duty.

Answer:

Customs Duty:  Customs duty is the duty imposed on goods imported into the country. In the years before globalisation it was difficult to import goods on account of stiff duty rates and procedures, especially for less developed and developing nations like India. Ajoke used to be that the word ‘customs’ was said to come from Sanskrit ‘kashtam’ meaning difficulty.

But the origin of the word is something else. Centuries ago, it was customary for a trader coming to sell his/her wares in a particular kingdom to offer gifts to the king, and seek his approval to sell his/her goods in that kingdom. This customary practice
