Q2. If you are an investor and are interested in finding out the value of an amount of Rs 10,000 to be received after 15 years, when the interest offered by bank is 9%, how would you calculate?
(Formula- 3 marks; calculation of present value-6 marks; Summary-1 mark) 10 marks
Answer :Formula to calculate present value :
Calculation Using the PV Formula:
The present value formula for a single amount is:
PV = FV (1 + i)-n (or) PV = FV x [ 1 ÷ (1 + i)n ]
Here PV = present value = To be calculated
Here FV = Future value
i = interest rate
n = Time period
Q3. Explain how NPV leads to better investment decisions rather than other criteria.
(explanation of NPV- 5 marks; explanation of difference of other techniques- 5marks) 10 marks
Answer : Explanation of NPV:
In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW)[1] of a time series of cash flows, both incoming and outgoing, is defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of the individual cash flows of the same entity.
In the case when all future cash flows are incoming (such as coupons and principal of a bond) and the only outflow of cash is the purchase price, the NPV is simply the PV of future cash flows minus the purchase price (which is its own PV).

(formula- 2 marks; Calculation of EOQ- 6marks; interpretation-2 marks) 10 Marks
Answer : Formula to calculate EOQ :
Economic Order Quantity is the optimal order size to minimize all inventory costs.
Variables:
C= Carrying cost * Cost per unit =Carrying cost per unit per year
F=Fixed cost per order
D=Demand in units per year
So Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Formula:
