关于ACCA的考试CORE PAPER内容的整理三
    每天带上一门的书与讲义,摇摇晃晃的挤地铁,再挤电梯,一门一门KEY着,有同事路过总会惊讶的说,咦,你怎么还在写这个啊?
  周围的每一个没有过CPA的人都在看书,特投入,特安静,除了我,鱼对我说,我觉得你还沉浸在ACCA过了的喜悦中,我说不是。我在打这些的时候,倒是充满了回忆知识的痛苦呵呵,走上ACCA的路只是一个契机,这个契机给了我很多,也让我失去了很多,我想当青春背上一个重担时,脚步难免踯躅,只是在结束的那一刻,我总想留下些什么,给自己的这段路做个交代。

  开始3.7吧,还是以REVISION上面的分类整理
  这门初看的时候觉得很复杂,因为涉及到很多金融工具,投资融资及期货期权的问题,在工作中基本接触不到,而且这门基本上是CORE PAPER中通过率做低的一门。复习下来会发现,题目都会很典型,把题型摸透了,还是比较容易上手。因为我在看题目的时候,会把当时看下来的感受写在题目旁边,所以我会把我当初看的时候觉得思路特清楚可以多看看的的几道题标出来,简称清楚题:)

几个重点理论:NPV,discount rates, free cash flows, CAPM, portfolio theory.
A Objectives and strategy formulation
清楚题  04/6 Wurrall:很清楚,蛮全的,可以多看几次
        99/6 Hanme: APPENDIX的计算可以再看看,用来练手
        01/12 Wickern:挺清楚的,可以再看
        03/12 Snowwell: 挺清楚的,可以再看
关于财务战略的题,以前的考试也都考过,但现在多些文字,再多些RATE的计算,拿下:)
Turnover
(operating costs before depreciation)
Balance
(Tax allowable depreciation)         
Earning before interest and tax
(Net interest payable)               
Profit on ordinary activities before tax
(Tax on ordinary activities)         
Profit after tax
(Dividends)                          
Amount transferred to reserves       

会要求写假设
再写假设的局限
其实这样的题型比较完整的应该是出现在PART E里,我再后面会再提及,这个部分还是比较侧重于财务管理的一些常规公式:profitability, gearing, liquidity ,working capital, stock market

B Investment decisions and risk analysis
清楚题  99/6 Tovell: APPENDIX的计算可以再看看
        00/12 Fuelit:挺好的,弄明白了,看看
        04/6 Zendeck:纯关于WACC
        03/6 Hasder: 多看看,与98/6Phantom放在一起看,理解公式
        04/12 Trosoft:挺好,多看看,APV
简单整理:
⑴Time value of money: FV=PV*(1+n)n
⑵Discount factor:题目给,或者(1+r)-n
⑶Annuities:
PV of deferred annuity=annual cash flow*annuity factor*PV factor
⑷Perpetuities:
PV of a perpeturity=P0=annual cash flow/discount rate

⑸NPV:
                时间1          时间2           时间3            时间4
Receipts:
Payments:
(wages)
(materials)
(variable/fixed overheads)
(administration/distribution expenses)
(capital allowances/tax allowable depreciation)
Taxable profits(EBIT)
(Tax)
Add back: capital allowances/tax allowable depreciation
(initial outlay)
NRV
Working capital  0-/n+                       
Net cash flow
Discount rate
PV
NPV
Free cash flows=EBIT(1-t)+capital investment+/-change in WC
可考虑的factor: social responsibility, risk, technical, economic, fiscal, CAPM limitation,  reliability, sensitivity analysis,
未来的现金流不包括沉没成本,非现金支出(折旧等),在做决定前已经发生的费用支出等。
⑹Fisher equation: (1+money rate)=(1+real rate)*(1+general inflation rate)
⑺WACC= Ke*E+ Kd(1-t)*D
       E+D     E+D
注意其他的相关公式如Ke \Kd \real rate的计算及相关的assumption: inflation rate 等等
⑻EVA=NOPAT-capital employed*cost of capital
注意EVA的优缺点
⑼Dividend valuation model: P0=D0(1+g)
                                 Ke-g
注意相关的assumption
⑽the returns on a two-asset portfolio: Rp=RaXa+ RbXb
  the risk on a two-asset portfolio:δp=√δ2aX2+δ2b(1-x)2+2x(1-x)Pabδaδb
  correlation coefficient=COVab/δaδb
⑾Modigliani and Miller’s theory: MVg= MVu + Dt
⑿CAPM: required return=risk free return+ systematic risk premium
注意assumption/limitation
⒀the arbitrage price model
⒁APV:    Base case NPV
            (Issue costs)
            PV of the tax shield
            PV of interest savings on subsidized loan
        APV                                      

C Corporate expansion and reorganization
清楚题  03/12 Megasal: APPENDIX可以看看
        01/6 Laceto
        00/6 Romage
        03/6 Evertalk

Advantage/disadvantage/who benefits/financial aspects

Synergy: economies of scale/scope/vertical integration, operating, head office, management, financial tax shield, market power
Problem to achieve Synergy
Methods: cash/equity shares/preference shares/loan stock
Regulation of takeovers
Defend against a takeover bid: pre-bid/post bid
P/E ratio/dividend valuation model\

D Foreign exchange and interest rate risk
清楚题  00/6 Retilon: 此题后附解题思路(helping hand),蛮清楚的,掌握方法
        02/6 NTC:结合上题所附方法,多做几遍
        02/12 与上题同理,结合看
        99/12 HYK 思路很清楚,用来加强巩固
        01/12 Shawter 三种避险工具的利弊,挺好的

Foreign exchange risk: transaction risk/economic risk/translation risk
Hedge避险工具: Forward market/ Money market/Futures/currency options
这部分题型比较固定,但也比较容易记乱了,多练练就好,就把每个类型中我复习时觉得比较特别的点拎出来
  Forward market:payment:找最小的rate/receipts:找最大的rate
                          左买右卖
  Money market:
payment: invest foreign currency
invested amount + interest on investment =payment required
receipt: borrow foreign currency
borrowed amount + interest on borrowing =receipt expected
     Futures/option这个就是传说中的期货期权拉:
Buy for payment ,sell for receipt
Unhedged
Tick size: contract size*0.0001
Basis
时间系数

Futures大致步骤:buy or sell
      Number of contracts
      Choose a date
      Calculate profit or loss
Conclusion
      option大致步骤:Number of contracts          
     Calls or puts?
     Contracts costs
Hedge outcome

interest rate risk: fixed rate loan/variable rate loan
Hedge: forward rate agreement/interest rate guarantees/interest rate futures/exchange traded interest rate options
Futures: buy a future—deposit money
         sell a future—borrow money
         basis risk
options: buy: buy the right to buy or buy the right to sell
         call: right to buy the futures
         put: right to sell the futures
         deposits-- buy the futures—buy calls
         loan-- sell the futures—buy puts

每种避险工具的advantage/disadvantage

SWAP: interest SWAP/currency SWAP
Advantage/risk
这部分我一直也不太明白,但也会一直考到,找些典型题,硬着头皮做吧~

Black scholes option pricing model:去年REVISION上52-55题都与此有关


E  The global environment
清楚题  pilot Novoroast:此题关于limitation,other factor蛮完整的
03/12 Avto: 后面的分析好好看看,架构,格式,结尾
        02/12 Intergrand:看看,模式蛮不一样,比较怪

DCF appraisal基本格式:
YEAR
Total contribution            需要计算的
(Fixed costs(with inflation))
(Tax allowable depreciation)
Taxable profit
(Tax)
Add back depreciation       
Net after-tax cash flow from operations
Investment cash flows
(Land and buildings)    关注末年的回转
(Plant and machinery)
(Working capital)    掌握计算   
Cash remittable from/to **     
Exchange rate                  掌握计算   
**cash remittable
Contribution from sale
(Tax on contribution)
(additional tax)               
Net cash flow
Discount factor                掌握计算

NPV

注意PPPT,real option,两国所得税差额的补足等
注意分析的assumption, limitation

文字题结合案例,主要关注的为海外投资各种方法的优缺点,可行性,限制,对策等,有套路可循,思路开阔些。

F Corporate dividend policy
01/02年考过,考的不多
