to at least 50%, in order to reduce the company’s cost of capital and increase its market value.
The managing director of Semer is not convinced by the logic of the proposal, or the accuracy of the calculations, but
is unable to explain the reasons for his reservations.
A summary of the proposal and its implications is shown below.
Proposal to increase the capital gearing of Semer plc
The company’s current weighted average cost of capital is estimated to be 10·6%. If the proportion of debt is
increased to 50% of total capital, by the repurchase of ordinary shares at their current market value, the cost of capital
may be reduced to 9·9%. A reduced cost of capital means that the value of the company will increase which will be
welcomed by our shareholders. Calculations supporting the above proposal are shown below:
(ii) The current price of Semer’s ordinary shares is 410 pence.
(iii) The market price of one 8% debenture 2010 is £112.
(iv) The market return is 10·5% and the risk free rate 4·0%.
(v) Semer’s equity beta is 1·2.
(vi) Semer currently pays £15 million in dividends.
(vii) The corporate tax rate is 30%.
(viii) The company currently generates a free cash flow of £60 million per year, which is expected to increase by
approximately 3% per year.
Required:
(a) What, if any, are the mistakes in the proposal? Correcting for any mistakes produce revised estimates of the
company’s current cost of capital and current value. Brief explanation of the reasons for any revisions should
be included. (15 marks)

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: Bees are very small animals which fly through the air to look for flowers for food. When a bee has found some food, it returns to their home called a hive and dances. The dance is the way the bee communicates to other bees the fact that it has found food.
Bees do two kinds of dances to tell other bees of their discovery of food. First, there is a round dance. The bee moves in a circle inside the hive. The round dance is used when food is close by, not more than ten meters away. The other bees also smell the bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for. After watching the round dance and smelling the bee that has found the food, the other bees can find the food source.
A second kind of dance done by the bees is a tail-wagging dance. The tail-wagging dance is used when the food is more than ten meters away. The bees know from the speed of the tail-wagging dance just how far away the food source is. The line the bee dances on shows the direction that the bees must fly in to find the food. The bees also smell the bee that has found the food to know what kind of flower to look for.
What do the bee's round dance and tail-wagging dance indicate?
A.The smell of the food.
B.The quality of the food.
C.The distance of the food.
D.The amount of the food.
