Mgt411 GDB No. 1 solution

Gross Domestic Product:

In economics, GDP uses for gross domestic product-the total value of all goods and services produced within that economy during a specified period.

The GDP deflator is a price index compute changes in prices of all new, nationally and internally produced, final goods and services in an economy.

The GDP deflator is not based on a fixed market basket of goods and services. The basket is allowed to change with people's consumption and investment patterns. Therefore, new expenditure patterns are allowed to show up in the deflator as people respond to changing prices.

Consumer price Index:


A measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. The CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them; the goods are weighted according to their importance. Changes in CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living.


Which is better Measure::


Although at first glance it may seem that CPI and GDP Deflator measure the same thing, there are a few key differences:

a) The first is that GDP Deflator includes only domestic goods and not anything that is imported. This is different because the CPI includes anything bought by consumers including foreign goods.

b) The second difference is that the GDP Deflator is a measure of the prices of all goods and services while the CPI is a measure of only goods bought by consumers.
....................

Consumer price index (CPI)

1) Measure of the overall level of price used to.(2)Track change in the typical household's cost of living.(3)Survey consumers to determine comosition of the typical consumer;s "basket" of good.(4)Every month,collect data on price of all item in the basket;compute cost of basket.(5)CPI in any month equals

100 * COST OF BASKET IN THAT MONTH / COST OF BASKET IN BASE PERIOD

GDB DEFLATOR:The GDB deflator,also called the implicit price for GDB,measures the price of output relative to its price in the base year.

GDB=(NOMINAL GDB / REAL GDB)*100

BNK603 Ass # 1 Idea Solution


Question 1:

Strategic Economies don’t drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself.

Strategic Economies

Unlike operational efficiencies, Strategic Economies don’t drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself. Strategic Economic come in three varieties:

1. Scale
2. Focus
3. Scope

1. Scale

Scale can derive efficiencies in many ways through:
  • Better Plant Utilization
  • Greater Purchasing Power
  • The Muscle to enforce industry wide price discipline Industries revolutionaries often consolidate fragmented industries. Any that gets caught behind the consolidation curve and misses the chance to build Scale Advantage will be left with a notable disadvantage

2. Focus

A company with a high degree of Focus & Specialization may reap economies compared with competitors
With a more diffused Business Mission and a less coherent mix of products & services.
Focus is not about efficiency in a cost sense; it’s about in a don’t-get-distracted, get-all-the-wood-behind one-Arrow sense.

3. Scope
The idea here is almost opposite of focus. A company that can leverage resources and management talents across a broad array of opportunities may have an efficiency advantage over firms that cannot. Scope
Economies come from sharing things across business units & countries; Brands, Facilities, Best Practices,
Scare Talent, IT Infrastructure, and so on. Scope Economies come in a variety of flavors; Channel Power & access to distribution channels, Economies in buying ad space & running high-tech distribution centers.


Question 2

What kinds of challenges are being faced by the retail banking in Pakistan?


Challenges to Retail Banking in Pakistan

Ø The issue of money laundering is very important in retail banking. This compels all the banks to
Ø scrutinize diligently all the documents which they accept while entering into a relationship
Ø Outsourcing has become significant in recent past because various core activities such as hardware
Ø and software maintenance, entire ATM set up and operation (including cash, refilling) etc., are
Ø being handled by outside vendors
Ø Banks are expected to take utmost care to retain the ongoing trust of the public
Ø Customer service should be at the end all in retail banking. Someone has rightly said, “It takes
Ø months to find a good customer but only seconds to lose one.” Thus, strategy of Knowing Your
Ø Customer (KYC) is important
Ø The dependency on technology has brought IT departments’ additional responsibilities and
Ø challenges in managing, maintaining and optimizing the performance of retail banking networks

QUESTION #1:Marks 20)
Mr.Toseef,the Chief Financial Officer of a mutual fund Company,was given the task to ascertain the firm ’s bond and stock values.To perform the necessary analysis,Mr.Toseef gathered the following relevant data on the firm ’s bonds and stocks.
BONDS:The firm has a Rs.1,000 par value bond with a 9 percent coupon interest rate outstanding. The bond has 12 years remaining to its maturity date.STOCKS:The firm ’s common stock currently pays an annual dividend of Rs.1.80 per share.The required return on the common stock is 12 percent.
REQUIRED:
Bonds:
A.If interest is paid annually ,what is the value of the bond when the required stated return is 10 percent
B.Using the 10 percent required return,find the bond ’s value when interest is paid semiannually Stock:
Estimate the value of common stock under each of the following dividend-growth-rate assumptions:
A.Dividends are expected to grow at a constant annual rate of 5 percent to infinity.
B.Dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 5 percent for each of the next 3 years followed by a constant annual growth rate of 4 percent in years 4 to infinity.

Solution:-
Question#1 Solution:

Bond Valuation
Part a)
Bond value = c [1 – 1/(1+r)^n] / r + Par/(1+r)^n
Bond value = 90 [1 – 1/(1+0.10)^12] / 0.10 + 1000/(1+0.10)^12
Bond Value = 90 [1 – 0.3186 /0.10] + 1000/3.1384
Bond value = 90 (6.814) + 318.63
Bond value = 613.26 +318.63
Bond Value = 931


Part b)
Bond value = c [1 – 1/(1+r)^n ]/ r + Par/(1+r)^n
Bond value = 45 [1 – 1/(1+0.05)^24 / 0.05 + 1000/(1+0.05)^24
Bond Value = 45 [1 – 0.3100 /0.05] + 1000/3.2250
Bond value = 45 (13.8) + 310.07
Bond value = 621 +310.
Bond Value = 931


Part a)
P = Div(1+g)/rF +rP – g

D = 1.80
Rce = rF +rP = 12%
g = 5%

P = 1.80 (1+0.05) / 12% - 5%
P = 1.80 (1.05) / 7%
P = 1.89/0.07
P = 27

Part b)
Div1= Do(1+g)3
Div1= 1.80 (1+0.05)3
Div1= 1.80 (1.1576)
Div1 = 2.083

P0 = D0 x (1 + g)/(R – g)
P0= 2.083 x 1.04/(0.12 – 0.04)
P0= 2.166 / 0.08
P0= 27.075
QUESTION #2 Marks 10)
A commercial bank has following data:
Total assets valued Rs.1,000,000
Item Assets Liabilities
Interest rate sensitive 30%40%
Interest rate non-sensitive 70%60%

=70000
After an increase in interest rate
(0.12×300000)+(0.10×700000)
=106000
(0.09×400000)+(0.07×600000)
=78000
Profits at an initial interest rate:
Profit = (100000) – (70000) = 30000
Profits after an increase in interest rate:
Profit = (106000) – (78000)=28000
Gap Analysis Gap between interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities = (Interest rate sensitive assets of 300000) – (Interest rate sensitive liabilities Of 400000) =(Gap of - 100000)

Q 1: Whether you open his account if yes then what are the procedures of opening?

Solution:
A person who has not attained the age of 18 years is a minor. A minor cannot enter into a contract. Therefore any contract with minor is void. However a bank can accept and open a minor's account if it is directed by the guardian court. So, as a banker I open his account. In this case a guardian signs the account opening form and gives his own specimen signature for account operation as mentioned under section 3 of majority Act 1875, the court appoints a guardian of a minor who obtains and signs the prescribed opening form of the account himself. He gives his own specimen signatures for the operation of the account.

Each withdrawal from the minor's account by the guardian is subject to the approval and sanction of the guardian court. On attaining the age of majority which is 21 years, the minor is allowed to open and operate the account himself. The authority of legal guardian ceases to exist.
So the minor can open an account through some guardian.
