Q. 1. Critically analyze the four broad areas of strategic financing decision.

Answer:Any person, corporation, or nation should know who or where they are, where they want to be, and how to get there. The strategic-planning process utilizes analytical models that provide a realistic picture of the individual, corporation, or nation at its “consciously incompetent” level, creating the necessary motivation for the development of a strategic plan. The process requires five distinct steps outlined below and the selected strategy must be sufficiently robust to enable the firm to perform activities differently from its rivals or to perform similar activities in a more efficient manner.

Q. 4. How will you compute the cost of equity capital using CAPM ?
The Xavier Corporation, a dynamic growth firm which pays no dividends, anticipates a long-run level of future earnings of Rs. 7 per share. The current market price of Xavier’s share is Rs. 55.45. Floatation costs for the sale of new equity shares would average about 10 % of the price of the shares. What is the cost of new equity capital to Xavier Corporation ?

Answer:Capital Asset Pricing Model – CAPM:
This model establishes a relationship between the required rate of return of a security and its
systematic risks expressed as “β”. According to this model, it determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return of an asset, if that asset is to be added to an already well-diversified portfolio, given that asset's non-diversifiable risk. The model takes into account the asset's sensitivity to non-diversifiable risk (also known as systematic risk or market risk), often represented by the quantity beta (β) in the financial industry, as
