Question 1 (30 Marks)
(Capital structure decision making, learning units 7, 13 and 14)
Read the following case and then answer ...
This assignment takes a similar format to what you can expect in the exams. Therefore, doing
this assignment on your own is crucial. You need to ensure that you are comfortable with
the format of the assignment, ie. you need to make sure you can type out your assignment in
MS Word (everyone has access to it through your myLife account) or to write and “scan” your
answers.
Instructions:
• Your submission must be in PDF format.
• Label your answers as in the assignment document.
• Work to two values after the decimal throughout.
Some tips:
• We strongly encourage you to use MS Word or write out your answers. Remember to
save as a PDF.
• While you can use Excel for your calculations, in the past, very few students submitted
well formatted, PDF’ed, Excel files. When answers are cut off, the student loses marks
as we only mark what we receive, and you cannot resubmit by the time we start
marking. (This is the same as in the exam, so do take note please.)
• Try to keep your answers brief, even when asked to evaluate, argue, discuss or
elaborate.
• If you have any questions, please ask on myUnisa in the relevant discussion spaces,
your e-Tutors and the lecturer are there to assist you.
• Question 3 is EXTRA CREDIT and NOT COMPULSORY.
• You cannot exceed 50 Marks or 100% for the assignment. You can obtain 100% by
answering questions 1 and 2 correctly without having to answer question 3.
• We will have a live (and recorded) class on this before the assignment due date on MS
Teams for anyone that cannot access a prompt tool to partake in and be able to answer
the questions.
