1、2017年 6月 ACCA考试 P4高级财务管理真题及答案解析(总分:125.00,做题时间:195 分钟)案例分析题(总题数:4,分数:125.00)Section A This ONE question is compulsory and MUST be attemptedThe eight-member board of executive directors (BoD) of Chrysos Co, a large private, unlisted company, is considering the companys long-term business and financia
2、l future. The BoD is considering whether or not to undertake a restructuring programme. This will be followed a few years later by undertaking a reverse takeover to obtain a listing on the stock exchange in order to raise new finance. However, a few members of the BoD have raised doubts about the re
3、structuring programme and the reverse takeover, not least the impact upon the companys stakeholders. Some directors are of the opinion that an initial public offering (IPO) would be a better option when obtaining a listing compared to a reverse takeover.Chrysos Co was formed about 15 years ago by a
4、team of five senior equity holders who are part of the BoD and own 40% of the equity share capital in total; 30 other equity holders own a further 40% of the equity share capital but are not part of the BoD; and a consortium of venture capital organisations (VCOs) own the remaining 20% of the equity
5、 share capital and have three representatives on the BoD. The VCOs have also lent Chrysos Co substantial debt finance in the form of unsecured bonds due to be redeemed in 10 years time. In addition to the BoD, Chrysos Co also has a non-executive supervisory board consisting of members of Chrysos Cos
6、 key stakeholder groups. Details of the supervisory board are given below.Chrysos Co has two business units: a mining and shipping business unit, and a machinery parts manufacturing business unit. The mining and shipping business unit accounts for around 80% of Chrysos Cos business in terms of sales
7、 revenue, non-current and current assets, and payables. However, it is estimated that this business unit accounts for around 75% of the companys operating costs. The smaller machinery parts manufacturing business unit accounts for the remaining 20% of sales revenue, non-current and current assets, a
8、nd payables; and around 25% of the companys operating costs.The following figures have been extracted from Chrysos Cos most recent financial statements:Profit before depreciation, interest and tax for the year to 28 February 2017Corporate restructuring programmeThe purpose of the restructuring progr
9、amme is to simplify the companys gearing structure and to obtain extra funding to expand the mining and shipping business in the future. At present, Chrysos Co is having difficulty obtaining additional funding without having to pay high interest rates.Machinery parts manufacturing business unitThe s
10、maller machinery parts manufacturing business unit will be unbundled either by having its assets sold to a local supplier for $3,102 million after its share of payables have been paid; orThe smaller machinery parts manufacturing business unit will be unbundled through a management buy-out by four ma
11、nagers. In this case, it is estimated that its after-tax net cash flows will increase by 8% in the first year only and then stay fixed at this level for the foreseeable future. The cost of capital related to the smaller business unit is estimated to be 10%. The management buy-out team will pay Chrys
12、os Co 70% of the estimated market value of the smaller machinery parts manufacturing business unit.Mining and shipping business unitFollowing the unbundling of the smaller machinery parts manufacturing business unit, Chrysos Co will focus solely on the mining and shipping business unit, prior to und
13、ertaking the reverse takeover some years into the future.As part of the restructuring programme, the existing unsecured bonds lent by the VCOs will be cancelled and replaced by an additional 600 million $1 shares for the VCOs. The VCOs will pay $400 million for these shares. The bank overdraft will
14、be converted into a 15-year loan on which Chrysos Co will pay a fixed annual interest of 450%. The other debt under non-current liabilities will be repaid. In addition to this, Chrysos Co will invest $1,200 million into equipment for its mining and shipping business unit and this will result in its
15、profits and cash flows growing by 4% per year in perpetuity.Additional financial informationChrysos Co aims to maintain a long-term capital structure of 20% debt and 80% equity in market value terms. Chrysos Cos finance director has assessed that the 450% annual interest it will pay on its bank loan
16、 is a reasonable estimate of its long-term cost of debt, based on the long-term capital structure above.Although Chrysos Co does not know what its cost of capital is for the mining and shipping business unit, its finance director has determined that the current ungeared cost of equity of Sidero Co,
17、a large quoted mining and shipping company, is 1246%. Chrysos Cos finance director wants to use Sidero Cos ungeared cost of equity to calculate its cost of capital for the mining and shipping business unit.The annual corporation tax rate on profits applicable to all companies is 18% and it can be as
18、sumed that tax is payable in the year incurred. All the non-current assets are eligible for tax allowable depreciation of 12% annually on the book values. The annual reinvestment needed to keep operations at their current levels is equivalent to the tax allowable depreciation.Details of the supervis
19、ory boardThe non-executive supervisory board provides an extra layer of governance over the BoD.
