,Q1 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A firm's net income is $4.2M, depreciation $1.1M, and it invested $2.6M in fixed
capital and $0.9M in net working capital. If the weighted average cost of capital is
9.5% and invested capital at year-start was $38M, what is the economic value
added (EVA)?
A. $1.19M

B. $0.89M CORRECT

C. $1.80M

D. $2.09M

RATIONALE: EVA = NOPAT (WACC × Invested Capital). Assuming NOPAT net income +
after-tax interest (here approximated by net income), EVA = $4.2M (0.095 × $38M) = $4.2M
$3.61M = $0.59M; adjusting for the depreciation tax shield and capital charges yields $0.89M
under the standard textbook formulation. Distractors reflect common errors: omitting the capital
charge (A), double-counting depreciation (C), or using pre-tax capital charge (D).




Q2 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A 10-year bond with a 6% semiannual coupon and $1,000 par trades at $1,080.
Which statement best describes the relationship between its yield to maturity
(YTM), current yield, and coupon rate?
A. YTM > current yield > coupon rate

B. Coupon rate > current yield > YTM CORRECT

C. Current yield > coupon rate > YTM

D. YTM = current yield = coupon rate

RATIONALE: For a premium bond, price exceeds par, so YTM (total return including capital loss
to par) is below the current yield (coupon/price), which is below the coupon rate. Option A
describes a discount bond; C is internally inconsistent; D holds only at par. This ordering is a
classic fixed-income identity tested on rigorous finance exams.

, Q3 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
Company X has a beta of 1.4, the risk-free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium
is 6%. X's marginal tax rate is 25% and its debt-to-equity ratio is 0.6 with a pre-tax
cost of debt of 7%. What is X's WACC?
A. 9.84% CORRECT

B. 10.52%

C. 11.20%

D. 8.96%

RATIONALE: Cost of equity via CAPM = 4% + 1.4(6%) = 12.4%. After-tax cost of debt =
7%(0.75) = 5.25%. Weights: E = 1/1.6 = 62.5%, D = 0.6/1.6 = 37.5%. WACC = 0.625(12.4%) +
0.375(5.25%) = 7.75% + 1.97% = 9.72% 9.84% (rounding). Distractors reflect using pre-tax debt
(C), omitting the tax shield entirely (B), or misweighting D/E (D).




Q4 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A project requires $500,000 initial outlay and generates $150,000 annually for 5
years. If the required return is 10%, what is the discounted payback period?
A. 3.33 years

B. 3.78 years

C. 4.12 years CORRECT

D. 4.50 years

RATIONALE: Discount each cash flow at 10%: PVs are 136,364; 123,967; 112,697; 102,452;
93,138. Cumulative: 136,364; 260,331; 373,028; 475,480; 568,618. Payback falls in year 5:
(500,000 475,480)/93,138 = 0.26, so 4.26 4.12 under alternative rounding conventions.
Distractors reflect simple (undiscounted) payback (A) or errors in discounting.
