a. RM22.47

b. RM6.90

You have the option of two equally risk annuities, each paying RM5,000 per year for eight years. One is an annuity due and the other is an ordinary annuity. If you are going to be receiving the annuity payments, which annuity would you choose to maximize your wealth?

Select one:

a. the annuity due.

b. either one because they have the same present value.

c. the ordinary annuity.

d. Since we don't know the interest rate, we can't find the value of the annuities and hence we cannot tell which one is better.

Answer 1

1.Calculation of closing cash balance:

Closing cash balance=Opening balance+Receipt-disbursements-Desired reserve

=RM2,000+RM94,000-RM75,000-RM5,000

=RM16000

Thus correct answer is option d, i.e Excess of RM6,000

2.Calculation of intrinsic value of Sapura’s share using dividend growth model

Dividend for each year=Dividend for preivious year(1+growth rate)

1st year dividend(D1)= RM2.20(1+0.07)=RM2.354

2nd year dividend(D2)=RM2.354*(1+0.07)=RM2.51878

D3 =RM2.51878(1+0.07)=RM2.70

D4=RM2.70*(1+0.04)=RM2.808

Since,growth rate is constant after 3 years,hence we should calulate the terminal value at end of year 3

Terminal value(T3)=D4/(Rate of return-Growth rate)

=RM2.808/15%-4%

=RM25.5273

Intrinsic value=Dividend/(1+Rate of return)^ no. of year+T3/(1+Rate of return)^ no. of year

=RM2.354/(1+0.15)^1+RM2.51878/(1+0.15)^2+RM2.70/(1+0.15)^3+RM25.5273/(1+0.15)^3

=RM22.51

Therefore correct answer is Option A,i.e.RM22.47 (difference in calculated value and value given is due to rounding of present value factor,thus you can ignore it)
