formula for Net Export is = tolal export - total import
so, if we will import anything than it will decrease our net exports...
due to a decrease in net export will cause a decrease in GDP,,

Solution:

Question # 1

(1)
Current Ratio = 3,000,000 / 1,500,000 = 2
Quick ratio = 2,000,000 / 1,500,000 = 1.34

(2)
Current Ratio = 2.2
Quick Ratio = 1.4

(3)
Current Ratio = 2
Quick Ratio = 2

Question # 2

(1)
Dividend Discount Model = P0 = 5 ( 1+ 3% ) / (12% - 3%)
= 57.22

Dividend Discount Model = P0 = 4 ( 1 + 5% ) / (12% - 5%)
= 60

(2)

Stock of Alpha Corps is overstated by 60 - 57.22 = Rs. 2.78
Stock of Heller Corps is understated by 58 - 60 = Rs. 2

Question #01
Ellite Corporation has total assets of Rs. 6,000,000 of which Rs. 1,000,000 is
inventory, Rs. 500, 000 is cash, Rs. 1,000, 000 is account receivable, Rs. 500, 000 is
marketable securities and the balance is fixed assets. Ellite Corporation has total
liabilities of Rs. 2,500, 000 of which current liabilities are Rs. 15, 00,000.

1. Calculate the current and quick ratio for Ellite Corporation.
Current Ratio: current asset/ current liabilities
Current asset: 1,000,000 + 500, 000 + 1,000, 000 + 500, 000 = 3000000
Current Ratio = 3000000 / 15, 00,000 = 2
Quick ratio: Current assets- Inventories/ Current Liabilities
= 2000000 / 1500000 = 1.33

2. If Ellite Corporation takes 250,000 from cash and pays off Rs. 250,000 of current
liabilities, what happens to its current ratio and quick ratio?
Cash = 250000
Current asset = 1,000,000 + 250, 000 + 1,000, 000 + 500, 000 = 2750000
Current liabilities =1500000-250000 = 1250000
Current Ratio = 2.2
Quick ratio: Current assets- Inventories/ Current Liabilities
Quick ratio: 1750000/1250000 = 1.4
Answer: both increases

3. If Ellite Corporation sells the inventory of Rs. 10, 00, 000 and places the proceeds
from the sale of inventory in marketable securities, what happens to its current ratio
and quick ratio?
Current Ratio: current asset/ current liabilities
Current asset: 500, 000 + 2,000, 000 + 500, 000 = 3000000
Current Ratio = 3000000 / 15, 00,000 = 2
Quick ratio: Current assets- Inventories/ Current Liabilities
= 3000000-0 / 1500000 = 2
Answer : current ratio remain same and quick ration increase

Question #02
Currently Alpha Corporation’s shares are selling at $60 per share and company is
paying dividend of $5 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of
3% for foreseeable future. Required rate of return for investors is 12%
At the same time, Heller Corporation’s shares are selling at $58 per share and
company is paying dividend of $4 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at an
annual rate of 5% for foreseeable future. Required rate of return for investors is
12%
a) Calculate the current value of each stock on the basis of Dividend Discount
Model.

Alpha Corporation
Dividend Discount Model = P0 = 5 (1+ 3%) / (12% - 3%)
= 57.22
Heller Corporation
Dividend Discount Model = P0 = 4 (1 + 5%) / (12% - 5%)
= 60
b) On the basis of above calculation, determine either each stock is overvalued or
undervalued.
Stock of Alpha Corporation is overstated by 60 - 57.22 = Rs. 2.78
Stock of Heller Corporation is understated by 58 - 60 = Rs. 2
