1 Insttute of Actuares of Inda Subject CT1 Fnancal Mathematcs May 2010 Examnatons INDICATIVE SOLUTIONS Introducton The ndcatve soluton has been wrtten by the Examners wth the am of helpng canddates. The solutons gven are only ndcatve. It s realzed that there could be other ponts as vald answers and examner have gven credt for any alternatve approach or nterpretaton whch they consder to be reasonable.

PV of payment streams = 20 a v 17% = [10] 3. () Let PV(Annuty 1)=A & PV(Annuty 2)=B Then, A = 10v + 9v 2 + 8v v 9 + 1v A(1+) = v +8v v 8 + 1v 9 Subtractng, we get A = 10 (v+v 2 +v v 9 +v 10 ) = 10 a 10 A = 10 a 10. (1) B = v + 2v 2 + 3v v (v 11 +v 12 +v 13 +v 14 + = (Ia) v 10 a = (Ia) v 10. (2) (1)+(2) gves A+B = 10 a 10 + (Ia) v 10 Gven 2A = B. Thus A+B = A+2A = 3A Hence, A+B = 3A = 10 a 10 + (Ia) v 10 => 3A = 10 a 10 + ä 10-10v v 10 = 10 v v 10 =11 Hence A = (11/3 ). (3) From (1) and (3), 10 a 10 = 11/3 => a 10 = 10-11/3 = 19/3 = From tables, at 10% a 10 = At 9% a 10 = By nterpolaton = Substtutng ths value n (3), we get A = 11/(3* )= ~ 39.4 PV(Annuty 1) = 39.4 [10] 4. ) a) (12) =7.75% (12) /12 = % Captal content of t th nstallment = (Installment amount)* v % Page 3 of 8

So, IRR s gven by the equaton: 90 = 5a (1.1) 5 v 10 At 9% RHS = At 10% RHS = By nterpolaton, IRR = 9.125% Snce the IRR obtaned s maxmum under opton 2, the nvestor should select Opton 2. () The other crtera that can be used to decde between alternatve nvestment projects are: (Any two) 1. Net present value and accumulated proft 2. Payback perod 3.

() The tme weghted rate of return wll decrease as the second growth factor n the equaton gven n b) above wll decrease. [10] 8. () Any four of the followng : Corporate Bonds are part of loan captal of companes. They are more rsky (less secure) than the Government bonds They are usually less marketable than Government Bonds The lower securty and marketablty means that nvestors requre a yeld greater than on the correspondng government bonds. The nvestors lend a lump sum of money to the company. In return the company pays regular nterest payments and a fnal payment representng a return of captal at the end of the term of the contract. The level of securty depends on the type of bond, the company whch has ssued t, whether they are secured on some assets of the ssung companes and the term. Page 7 of 8

The nvestor wll wsh to defer the captal loss as long as possble, so we assume that the nvestor wll choose the latest possble redempton date and the bond wll be redeemed after 20 years.

Ths means Investor Y wll want to make the captal gan as soon as possble, so we assume that the bond wll be redeemed at the earlest possble date.e. after 12 years and 10 months.
