Question 1 Perpetuity
The present value of a perpetuity of ₹1000 per year at 8% per annum is:
A ₹8,000
B ₹10,000
C ₹12,500
D ₹15,000
✓ Correct Answer: (C) ₹12,500
Solution:
Formula: PV of Perpetuity = A/r
Where A = Annual payment = ₹1000, r = 8% = 0.08
PV = 1000/0.08 = ₹12,500
Question 2 Sinking Fund
A company wants to accumulate ₹1,00,000 in 5 years by making annual deposits. If interest rate is 10% per annum compounded annually, the annual deposit required is approximately:
A ₹16,380
B ₹18,000
C ₹20,000
D ₹22,500
✓ Correct Answer: (A) ₹16,380
Solution:
Sinking Fund Formula: A = S × r / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
S = ₹1,00,000, r = 0.10, n = 5
A = 1,00,000 × 0.10 / ((1.10)⁵ - 1)
A = 10,000 / (1.61051 - 1) = 10,000 / 0.61051 ≈ ₹16,380
Question 3 EMI
The EMI formula for a loan of P at rate r per month for n months is:
A EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
B EMI = P / n
C EMI = P × r
D EMI = P × (1+r)ⁿ
✓ Correct Answer: (A) EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
Solution:
The standard EMI formula is:
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
Where P = Principal, r = monthly rate, n = number of months
Question 4 EMI
A loan of ₹50,000 is to be repaid in 12 monthly installments at 12% per annum. The monthly interest rate is:
A 0.01 or 1%
B 0.12 or 12%
C 0.05 or 5%
D 0.02 or 2%
✓ Correct Answer: (A) 0.01 or 1%
Solution:
Monthly rate = Annual rate / 12
= 12% / 12 = 1% = 0.01
Question 5 CAGR
An investment grows from ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 in 3 years. The CAGR is approximately:
A 12.5%
B 14.5%
C 16.7%
D 18.2%
✓ Correct Answer: (B) 14.5%
Solution:
CAGR = (Final Value/Initial Value)^(1/n) - 1
= (15,000/10,000)^(1/3) - 1
= (1.5)^(1/3) - 1
= 1.1447 - 1 = 0.1447 ≈ 14.5%
Question 6 CAGR
The formula for CAGR is:
A (Ending Value - Beginning Value) / Beginning Value
B (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/n) - 1
C (Ending Value - Beginning Value) / n
D Ending Value / (Beginning Value × n)
✓ Correct Answer: (B) (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/n) - 1
Solution:
CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/n) - 1
Where n is the number of years
Question 7 Depreciation
A machine costs ₹1,00,000 with salvage value ₹10,000 after 10 years. Using straight line method, annual depreciation is:
A ₹9,000
B ₹10,000
C ₹11,000
D ₹12,000
✓ Correct Answer: (A) ₹9,000
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
= (1,00,000 - 10,000) / 10
= 90,000 / 10 = ₹9,000
Question 8 Depreciation
Using reducing balance method at 10% per annum, the value of a ₹50,000 asset after 2 years is:
A ₹40,000
B ₹40,500
C ₹45,000
D ₹48,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹40,500
Solution:
Book Value = Cost × (1 - r)ⁿ
= 50,000 × (1 - 0.10)²
= 50,000 × (0.90)²
= 50,000 × 0.81 = ₹40,500
Question 9 Depreciation
An asset depreciates from ₹80,000 to ₹64,000 in one year using reducing balance method. The depreciation rate is:
A 15%
B 20%
C 25%
D 30%
✓ Correct Answer: (B) 20%
Solution:
64,000 = 80,000 × (1 - r)
1 - r = 64,000/80,000 = 0.80
r = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20 = 20%
Question 10 Bonds
A bond with face value ₹1,000 pays 8% annual coupon. If required return is 10%, the bond will trade at:
A Premium (above ₹1,000)
B Discount (below ₹1,000)
C Par value (₹1,000)
D Cannot determine
✓ Correct Answer: (B) Discount (below ₹1,000)
Solution:
When coupon rate (8%) < required return (10%), bond trades at discount.
When coupon rate > required return, bond trades at premium.
When coupon rate = required return, bond trades at par.
Question 11 Bonds
A bond with face value ₹10,000 and coupon rate 6% pays annual interest of:
A ₹60
B ₹600
C ₹6,000
D ₹660
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹600
Solution:
Annual Coupon Payment = Face Value × Coupon Rate
= 10,000 × 0.06 = ₹600
Question 12 Perpetuity
The present value of perpetuity immediate of ₹500 at 5% is:
A ₹5,000
B ₹10,000
C ₹15,000
D ₹20,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹10,000
Solution:
PV = A/r = 500/0.05 = ₹10,000
Question 13 Amortization
In an amortization schedule, as time progresses:
A Interest component increases, principal component decreases
B Interest component decreases, principal component increases
C Both components remain constant
D Both components increase
✓ Correct Answer: (B) Interest component decreases, principal component increases
Solution:
In amortization, as the outstanding principal reduces over time, the interest component decreases and the principal repayment component increases, while EMI remains constant.
Question 14 Sinking Fund
If annual deposits of ₹10,000 are made for 4 years at 8% compounded annually, the amount accumulated is approximately:
A ₹40,000
B ₹43,000
C ₹45,061
D ₹48,000
✓ Correct Answer: (C) ₹45,061
Solution:
FV = A × [((1+r)ⁿ - 1) / r]
= 10,000 × [((1.08)⁴ - 1) / 0.08]
= 10,000 × [(1.36049 - 1) / 0.08]
= 10,000 × 4.5061 = ₹45,061
Question 15 Bonds
Current yield of a bond is calculated as:
A Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price
B Face Value / Current Market Price
C Annual Coupon Payment / Face Value
D Market Price / Face Value
✓ Correct Answer: (A) Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price
Solution:
Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price
It shows the annual return based on current market price.
Question 16 Depreciation
Compared to straight line method, reducing balance method results in:
A Higher depreciation in early years
B Lower depreciation in early years
C Same depreciation every year
D No depreciation in early years
✓ Correct Answer: (A) Higher depreciation in early years
Solution:
Reducing balance method (WDV method) results in higher depreciation in early years as it applies a fixed percentage to the reducing book value, while straight line method gives constant depreciation.
Question 17 CAGR
CAGR is most useful for:
A Comparing growth rates of different investments
B Calculating simple interest
C Computing EMI
D Finding present value
✓ Correct Answer: (A) Comparing growth rates of different investments
Solution:
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) smoothens out volatility and provides a single growth rate, making it ideal for comparing different investments over time.
Question 18 EMI
Each EMI payment consists of:
A Only principal amount
B Only interest amount
C Both principal and interest
D Processing fee
✓ Correct Answer: (C) Both principal and interest
Solution:
Each EMI payment consists of two components: principal repayment and interest. The proportion changes over time with interest decreasing and principal increasing.

Short Answer Questions with Step-by-Step Solutions

Practice 2-mark and 3-mark questions

Question 1 Perpetuity - 2M
Find the present value of a perpetuity that pays ₹2,000 at the end of each year if the interest rate is 5% per annum.
Solution:
Formula: PV of Perpetuity = A/r
Where A = Annual payment = ₹2,000
r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05
PV = 2,000 / 0.05
Present Value = ₹40,000
Question 2 Sinking Fund - 3M
A company needs to accumulate ₹5,00,000 in 4 years to replace machinery. If the interest rate is 8% per annum compounded annually, find the annual deposit required.
Solution:
Sinking Fund Formula: A = S × r / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
Given: S = ₹5,00,000, r = 0.08, n = 4 years
A = 5,00,000 × 0.08 / ((1.08)⁴ - 1)
(1.08)⁴ = 1.36049
A = 40,000 / (1.36049 - 1)
A = 40,000 / 0.36049
Annual Deposit = ₹1,10,978 (approximately)
Question 3 EMI - 3M
Calculate the EMI for a loan of ₹2,00,000 at 12% per annum for 2 years (24 months).
Solution:
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
P = ₹2,00,000
Monthly rate r = 12%/12 = 1% = 0.01
n = 24 months
(1.01)²⁴ = 1.2697
EMI = 2,00,000 × 0.01 × 1.2697 / (1.2697 - 1)
EMI = 2,539.4 / 0.2697
EMI = ₹9,414 (approximately)
Question 4 CAGR - 2M
An investment of ₹50,000 grows to ₹80,000 in 5 years. Calculate the CAGR.
Solution:
CAGR = (Final Value/Initial Value)^(1/n) - 1
Final Value = ₹80,000
Initial Value = ₹50,000
n = 5 years
CAGR = (80,000/50,000)^(1/5) - 1
CAGR = (1.6)^0.2 - 1
CAGR = 1.0986 - 1
CAGR = 0.0986 or 9.86%
Question 5 Depreciation - 3M
A machine costs ₹2,00,000 with salvage value ₹20,000 after 8 years. Calculate: (i) Annual depreciation using straight line method, (ii) Book value after 3 years.
Solution:
(i) Annual Depreciation:
Formula: D = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
D = (2,00,000 - 20,000) / 8
D = 1,80,000 / 8 = ₹22,500
(ii) Book Value after 3 years:
Total Depreciation = 22,500 × 3 = ₹67,500
Book Value = Cost - Total Depreciation
Book Value = 2,00,000 - 67,500
(i) Annual Depreciation = ₹22,500
(ii) Book Value after 3 years = ₹1,32,500
Question 6 Bonds - 3M
A bond with face value ₹1,000 and coupon rate 10% has 3 years to maturity. If the required return is 12%, calculate the current yield and comment on whether the bond trades at premium or discount.
Solution:
Annual Coupon = Face Value × Coupon Rate
Annual Coupon = 1,000 × 0.10 = ₹100
Analysis:
Coupon Rate (10%) < Required Return (12%)
Therefore, bond will trade at DISCOUNT
Market Price will be < ₹1,000
To find exact current yield, we need market price
The bond trades at discount because coupon rate (10%) is less than required return (12%). Current yield would be Annual Coupon / Market Price, where Market Price < ₹1,000.

Long Answer Questions with Complete Solutions

Practice 5-mark questions

Question 1 Sinking Fund - 5M
A company wants to accumulate ₹10,00,000 in 6 years for machinery replacement. The interest rate is 10% per annum compounded annually. (a) Calculate the annual deposit required. (b) Prepare a sinking fund schedule for the first 3 years.
Complete Solution:
(a) Annual Deposit Calculation:
Sinking Fund Formula: A = S × r / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
S = ₹10,00,000, r = 0.10, n = 6
(1.10)⁶ = 1.77156
A = 10,00,000 × 0.10 / (1.77156 - 1)
A = 1,00,000 / 0.77156
A = ₹1,29,607 (annually)
(b) Sinking Fund Schedule:
Year 1: Deposit = ₹1,29,607, Interest = 0
Balance = ₹1,29,607
Year 2: Deposit = ₹1,29,607, Interest = 1,29,607 × 0.10 = ₹12,961
Balance = 1,29,607 + 1,29,607 + 12,961 = ₹2,72,175
Year 3: Deposit = ₹1,29,607, Interest = 2,72,175 × 0.10 = ₹27,218
Balance = 2,72,175 + 1,29,607 + 27,218 = ₹4,29,000
(a) Annual Deposit = ₹1,29,607
(b) Balance after 3 years = ₹4,29,000
Question 2 EMI & Amortization - 5M
A person takes a loan of ₹5,00,000 at 12% per annum for 3 years (36 months). (a) Calculate the monthly EMI. (b) Prepare an amortization schedule for the first 3 months showing principal, interest, and outstanding balance.
Complete Solution:
(a) EMI Calculation:
P = ₹5,00,000
Monthly rate r = 12%/12 = 1% = 0.01
n = 36 months
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
(1.01)³⁶ = 1.4308
EMI = 5,00,000 × 0.01 × 1.4308 / (1.4308 - 1)
EMI = 7,154 / 0.4308
EMI = ₹16,607
(b) Amortization Schedule:
Month 1:
Opening Balance = ₹5,00,000
Interest = 5,00,000 × 0.01 = ₹5,000
Principal = 16,607 - 5,000 = ₹11,607
Closing Balance = 5,00,000 - 11,607 = ₹4,88,393
Month 2:
Opening Balance = ₹4,88,393
Interest = 4,88,393 × 0.01 = ₹4,884
Principal = 16,607 - 4,884 = ₹11,723
Closing Balance = 4,88,393 - 11,723 = ₹4,76,670
Month 3:
Opening Balance = ₹4,76,670
Interest = 4,76,670 × 0.01 = ₹4,767
Principal = 16,607 - 4,767 = ₹11,840
Closing Balance = 4,76,670 - 11,840 = ₹4,64,830
(a) Monthly EMI = ₹16,607
(b) Outstanding after 3 months = ₹4,64,830
Notice: Principal component increases while interest decreases
Question 3 Depreciation - 5M
A machine costs ₹3,00,000 with salvage value ₹30,000 after 5 years. Compare the depreciation and book values using: (a) Straight Line Method, (b) Reducing Balance Method at 25% per annum. Show calculations for all 5 years.
Complete Solution:
(a) Straight Line Method:
Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage) / Life
= (3,00,000 - 30,000) / 5 = ₹54,000 per year
Year 1: Dep = ₹54,000, Book Value = ₹2,46,000
Year 2: Dep = ₹54,000, Book Value = ₹1,92,000
Year 3: Dep = ₹54,000, Book Value = ₹1,38,000
Year 4: Dep = ₹54,000, Book Value = ₹84,000
Year 5: Dep = ₹54,000, Book Value = ₹30,000
(b) Reducing Balance Method (25%):
Year 1: Dep = 3,00,000 × 0.25 = ₹75,000, BV = ₹2,25,000
Year 2: Dep = 2,25,000 × 0.25 = ₹56,250, BV = ₹1,68,750
Year 3: Dep = 1,68,750 × 0.25 = ₹42,188, BV = ₹1,26,562
Year 4: Dep = 1,26,562 × 0.25 = ₹31,641, BV = ₹94,921
Year 5: Dep = 94,921 × 0.25 = ₹23,730, BV = ₹71,191
Comparison:
• SLM: Constant depreciation ₹54,000, final BV = ₹30,000
• RBM: Decreasing depreciation, final BV = ₹71,191
• RBM gives higher depreciation in early years
• SLM reaches exact salvage value
Question 4 CAGR - 5M
An investor's portfolio shows the following values: Year 0: ₹1,00,000, Year 1: ₹1,15,000, Year 2: ₹1,20,000, Year 3: ₹1,45,000, Year 4: ₹1,60,000. Calculate: (a) CAGR over 4 years, (b) Year-on-year growth rates, (c) Comment on the difference between CAGR and average growth rate.
Complete Solution:
(a) CAGR Calculation:
CAGR = (Final Value/Initial Value)^(1/n) - 1
= (1,60,000/1,00,000)^(1/4) - 1
= (1.6)^0.25 - 1
= 1.1246 - 1
CAGR = 0.1246 or 12.46%
(b) Year-on-Year Growth:
Year 1: (1,15,000-1,00,000)/1,00,000 = 15%
Year 2: (1,20,000-1,15,000)/1,15,000 = 4.35%
Year 3: (1,45,000-1,20,000)/1,20,000 = 20.83%
Year 4: (1,60,000-1,45,000)/1,45,000 = 10.34%
Average = (15 + 4.35 + 20.83 + 10.34)/4 = 12.63%
(a) CAGR = 12.46%
(b) Annual growth rates: 15%, 4.35%, 20.83%, 10.34%
(c) CAGR (12.46%) smoothens volatility and shows compound effect, while simple average (12.63%) treats each year equally without compounding. CAGR is better for comparing investments.
Question 5 Bond Valuation - 5M
A bond with face value ₹1,000 pays 10% annual coupon and has 4 years to maturity. The required rate of return is 8%. Calculate: (a) Present value of coupon payments, (b) Present value of face value, (c) Bond price, (d) Comment if it trades at premium or discount.
Complete Solution:
Annual Coupon = 1,000 × 0.10 = ₹100
Required return (r) = 8% = 0.08
(a) PV of Coupon Payments:
PV = C × [1 - (1+r)^(-n)] / r
= 100 × [1 - (1.08)^(-4)] / 0.08
= 100 × [1 - 0.7350] / 0.08
= 100 × 0.2650 / 0.08
= 100 × 3.3121 = ₹331.21
(b) PV of Face Value:
PV = FV / (1+r)ⁿ
= 1,000 / (1.08)⁴
= 1,000 / 1.3605
= ₹735.03
(c) Bond Price:
Bond Price = PV of Coupons + PV of Face Value
= 331.21 + 735.03
= ₹1,066.24
(a) PV of Coupons = ₹331.21
(b) PV of Face Value = ₹735.03
(c) Bond Price = ₹1,066.24
(d) Bond trades at PREMIUM because coupon rate (10%) > required return (8%), hence price (₹1,066.24) > face value (₹1,000)
Question 6 Perpetuity - 5M
Compare the present values of: (a) A perpetuity paying ₹10,000 annually at 8%, (b) An annuity paying ₹10,000 annually for 20 years at 8%, (c) An annuity paying ₹10,000 annually for 50 years at 8%. Comment on the relationship between annuity and perpetuity.
Complete Solution:
(a) Perpetuity PV:
PV = A / r
= 10,000 / 0.08
= ₹1,25,000
(b) Annuity for 20 years:
PV = A × [1 - (1+r)^(-n)] / r
= 10,000 × [1 - (1.08)^(-20)] / 0.08
= 10,000 × [1 - 0.2145] / 0.08
= 10,000 × 9.8181
= ₹98,181
(c) Annuity for 50 years:
= 10,000 × [1 - (1.08)^(-50)] / 0.08
= 10,000 × [1 - 0.0213] / 0.08
= 10,000 × 12.2335
= ₹1,22,335
(a) Perpetuity PV = ₹1,25,000
(b) 20-year annuity PV = ₹98,181
(c) 50-year annuity PV = ₹1,22,335
Comment: As annuity period increases, its PV approaches perpetuity PV. The 50-year annuity (₹1,22,335) is 97.9% of perpetuity value (₹1,25,000), showing that distant cash flows have negligible present value.

Case Study 1 EMI & Amortization

Home Loan Planning

Rajesh wants to buy a house worth ₹50,00,000. He has ₹10,00,000 as down payment and needs to take a loan for the remaining amount. The bank offers a home loan at 9% per annum for 20 years (240 months). He wants to understand his EMI obligations and loan repayment structure.

Q1
What is the loan amount Rajesh needs to borrow?
A ₹30,00,000
B ₹40,00,000
C ₹45,00,000
D ₹50,00,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹40,00,000
Solution:
Loan Amount = House Value - Down Payment
= ₹50,00,000 - ₹10,00,000 = ₹40,00,000
Q2
What is the monthly interest rate for this loan?
A 0.75%
B 0.9%
C 1.0%
D 1.5%
✓ Correct Answer: (A) 0.75%
Solution:
Monthly rate = Annual rate / 12
= 9% / 12 = 0.75% = 0.0075
Q3
The approximate monthly EMI for this loan is:
A ₹30,000
B ₹35,984
C ₹40,000
D ₹45,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹35,984
Solution:
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)
P = ₹40,00,000, r = 0.0075, n = 240
(1.0075)²⁴⁰ = 6.0092
EMI = 40,00,000 × 0.0075 × 6.0092 / 5.0092
≈ ₹35,984
Q4
In the first month's EMI, the interest component is approximately:
A ₹20,000
B ₹25,000
C ₹30,000
D ₹35,000
✓ Correct Answer: (C) ₹30,000
Solution:
First month interest = Principal × Monthly rate
= ₹40,00,000 × 0.0075 = ₹30,000
Principal component = EMI - Interest
= ₹35,984 - ₹30,000 = ₹5,984

The CAGR of the investment is approximately:
A 8.8%
B 10%
C 12%
D 15%
✓ Correct Answer: (A) 8.8%
Solution:
CAGR = (Final/Initial)^(1/n) - 1
= (28,00,000/20,00,000)^(1/4) - 1
= (1.4)^0.25 - 1
= 1.0878 - 1 = 0.0878 ≈ 8.8%
Q2
The book value of machinery after 1 year is:
A ₹12,00,000
B ₹12,75,000
C ₹13,50,000
D ₹14,00,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹12,75,000
Solution:
Book Value = Cost × (1 - r)ⁿ
= 15,00,000 × (1 - 0.15)¹
= 15,00,000 × 0.85 = ₹12,75,000
Q3
The book value of machinery after 4 years is approximately:
A ₹7,50,000
B ₹7,82,063
C ₹8,50,000
D ₹9,00,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹7,82,063
Solution:
Book Value = 15,00,000 × (0.85)⁴
= 15,00,000 × 0.52200625
= ₹7,82,063 (approximately)
Q4
After 4 years, the net asset position (investment value - machinery depreciation) is:
A ₹20,17,937
B ₹25,00,000
C ₹30,00,000
D ₹35,82,063
✓ Correct Answer: (D) ₹35,82,063
Solution:
Net Position = Investment Value + Machinery Value
= ₹28,00,000 + ₹7,82,063
= ₹35,82,063
Case Study 3 Bond Valuation & Perpetuity

Fixed Income Investment Portfolio

An investor is considering two investment options: Option A is a corporate bond with face value ₹10,000, coupon rate 12% per annum, 5 years to maturity, and market yield of 10%. Option B is a perpetual bond (console) paying ₹1,200 annually with the same market yield of 10%.

Q1
The annual coupon payment from Option A is:
A ₹1,000
B ₹1,200
C ₹1,500
D ₹2,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹1,200
Solution:
Annual Coupon = Face Value × Coupon Rate
= ₹10,000 × 12% = ₹1,200
Q2
Option A bond will trade at:
A Discount
B Premium
C Par value
D Cannot determine
✓ Correct Answer: (B) Premium
Solution:
Coupon Rate (12%) > Market Yield (10%)
When coupon rate exceeds market yield, bond trades at premium (above face value).
Q3
The present value of Option B (perpetuity) is:
A ₹10,000
B ₹12,000
C ₹15,000
D ₹20,000
✓ Correct Answer: (B) ₹12,000
Solution:
PV of Perpetuity = Annual Payment / Yield
= ₹1,200 / 0.10 = ₹12,000
Q4
If the market yield increases to 12%, the value of Option B will:
A Increase to ₹14,400
B Remain ₹12,000
C Decrease to ₹10,000
D Decrease to ₹8,000
✓ Correct Answer: (C) Decrease to ₹10,000
Solution:
New PV = 1,200 / 0.12 = ₹10,000
When market yield increases, bond/perpetuity value decreases (inverse relationship).
