THIS IS FROM FPSB INDIA SAMPLE PAPER OF RAIP

An entrepreneur setting up a leather processing unit purchased a land in 2006 for Rs. 50 lakh and got specialized

construction done in 2007 for Rs. 1.6 crore. In March, 2008 the processing plant was constructed at a cost of Rs. 2

crore. The cost of such construction and plant are escalating at 10% p.a. The corrosive nature of chemicals

requires depreciation on plant as well as premises at 15% p.a. on written down value basis. As in 2013, what

additional reserves should be created by the company apart from depreciation reserves and the residual insured

value of plant and premises to reinstate the facility in case it is destroyed in a calamity?

solution :

Cost of land 5,000,000

Rs. Construction cost of premises 16,000,000

Rs. Construction done in 2007 Cost of plant & machinery 20,000,000

Rs. Plant installed in 2008 Depreciation rate on w-d-v method 15% p.a. Escalation cost 10% p.a. Year of

reinstatement considered 2013

Current cost of reinstatement or premises 28,344,976 Rs. 16000000*(1+10%)^(2013-2007)

Current cost of reinstatement of plant 32,210,200 Rs. 20000000*(1+10%)^(2013-2008)

Total cost of reinstatement of the facility 60,555,176 Rs. 28344976+32210200

Depreciation reserves charged on premises in the B/S 9,965,608 [ Rs. 16000000-(16000000*(1-15%)^(2013-

2007)) ]

Depreciation reserves charged on plant in the B/S 11,125,894 [ Rs. 20000000-(20000000*(1-15%)^(2013-2008))

Total reserves on premises and plant 21,091,502 [ Rs. 9965608+11125894]

Residual Insured value of the plant 14,908,499 Rs. (16000000+20000000)-21091502

Therefore, additional reserves to be created 24,555,176 Rs. 60555176-21091502-14908498

Can you please explain why the depreciation rate is consider on the amount of installation and not the present

value(2013) , since in the question given below it is consider on the present value ?

A training institute bought 50 computers at a total cost installed for Rs. 25 lakh. The set up came into operation on

1st April, 2012. The cost of a similar new computer in due course declined to Rs. 42,000. The industry norm of the

depreciation charged on the computers is 30% on written down value basis. At what appropriate value he should

insure the set up on next due date 1st April, 2013

SOLUTION

Cost of acquisition of computers- 1st April, 2012 2,500,000

Depreciation charged 30% p.a.

Current replacement cost 2,100,000 [ Rs. 42000*50 ]

Appropriate value to be insured 1,470,000 [ Rs. 2100000*(1-30%) ] .

Q.1 . An annuity product AA at rs 8640 p.a per lakh rs of purchase value offer annuity for life with a provision of 50
% of annuity payable to spouse during his/her life time on death of the annuitant , another annuity BB at rs. 7010
per annum per lakh rs of purchase value offer annuity for life with a provision of 100% of annuity payable to
spouse during his/her lifetime on death of annuitant along with return of purchase price on the death of last
survivor. Today your client and his spouse have respectively 20 years and 25 years more expected life. You
estimate the returns provided in AA and BB to arrive at right selection for your client as annuity.
Ans
A. AA better 41 basis points per annum better return than BB
B. BB offer 15 bps p.a better return than AA
C. BB offer 84 bps p.a better return than BB
D. AA its excess cash flow invested at conservative 8 % p.a gives higher value than the purchase price after
matching cash flow of BB
Q. 2. You are analysing net worth statement of your client. She took a car loan of 8 lakh @ 12% p.a three years
ago and a personal loan of rs 3 lakh @ 18 p.a a year ago. There are 2 more years remaining in the tenure of both
the loans. She gets a wind fall of rs 6 lakh . She ask you whether to invest this in bank Fd @ 9% p.a for 2 years .
You advice her to repay both loans and invest the amount of EMI’s systematically every month in tax efficient
market oriented security. You estimate in a return band of 8-10% her revised net worth with lower tax incidence
after 2 yrs . If she adheres to your advices her net worth may rise b/w
A. 73000 to 91000
B. 32000 to 46000
C. 28000 to 41000
D. 37000 to 52000

Q.1 You have to find IRR for both the options, with outflow of Rs100000 with inflow of Rs.8640 for 20 years & 4320
for 5 years and @7010 for 19 years and 107010 for the 20th year. You will get IRR of 6.53% and 7.01% which will
not match with the answers.Then take up the difference between the cases which will be +1630 for 20 years and
-2690 for the next 5 years. If you find the FV of these payments which would be more than 100000 which in turn
matches with the answer(d).

As you suggested here are the questions I faced in yesterday’s RAIP paper

Four questions (exactly same) given below which have appeared in your blog ( by Hepguy on 25th Mar 2014) were

asked

Car damage insurance,

Fire in mall,

Comparing return on Insurance Policy

Bungalow damage

I therefore thank you for your blog which helped to prepare for exam.

Four questions were very similar from sample papers although slightly tweaked.

Factory insurance by Reinstatement method,

Air condition insurance on replacement basis with (WDV instead SLM) method,

Insurance requirement based on increasing income and expenses,

Insurance requirement based on need basis

Around 5 – 6 questions on insurance policy calculation. All the questions were tweaked and far different from

sample papers.

One on maturity value with money back policy

One of death claim,

One of SV,

One on return on policy investment component on maturity value

One of loan amount on money back policy

One on comparing returns of money back policy paid up value with 8% return

The additional questions which did not appeared in your blog were as below

Pardon me for not remembering the exact answers and the wording and figures in the questions, but I tried to

reproduce the essence of the question here.

1) Ramesh to car loan of Rs 8 Lakhs and personal loan of Rs 3 lakh. The rate of interest is 12 % and 18 % with

monthly reducing basis. He made windfall gain of Rs 6 Lakhs in 2013. His financial advisor advised him to repay

these loans and invest the monthly installment in Bank deposits with interest rate between ranges of 8 – 10 %. He

has two more years to repay these loans. Do you think the advice given to him is correct?

Ans:

– Yes as his net worth will increase between Rs 72500 to 110000

– Yes, as his net worth will increase between Rs xxxxxx to Rs xxxxxx ( I don’t remember the no)

– Yes, as his net worth will increase between Rs xxxxxx to Rs xxxxxx (I don’t remember the no)

-No, as his net worth will reduce between Rs 15700 to Rs 46500

2) Tow companies A and B purchase land in 2006. Company A completed construction in 2007 for Rs 70 lakhs and

started manufacturing plant in 2008 for Rs 1.5 cr. Company B completed the construction in 2009 for Rs 90 lakhs

and started manufacturing plant in 2009 for Rs 2 cr. Company A provides depreciation @ 10% on SLM method

whereas Company B provides depreciation on WDV method. What addition reserves Company A need to provide on

2013 as compared to company B.

Regret I do not remember the answer options.

to make provision of Rs 20 lakhs in today’s cost for each for their marriage when they will be 21 years. His monthly
expense is Rs 50000 of which he accounts for 25 %. Calculate the insurance he need considering his tenure for

next 10 years and for the expenses for his non-working wife for next 30 years.

Regret I do not remember the answer option.

5) Two different policies one with money back and other endowment were asked to compare with respect to cover

and returns and was asked to suggest which is more suitable for a man age 32 with monthly expense of Rs 35000

Regret I do not remember the figures in questions and answer options as Time was out for me.

14) Ajay and Bela Mahera have two children ages 5 and 7. The Mehera.s want to start
saving for their children.s education. Each child will spend 6 years at college and will
begin at age 18. College currently costs Rs. 20000 per year and is expected to increase at
6% per year. Assuming the Mahera.s can earn an annual compound return of 12% and
inflation is 4%, how much must the Mehera.s deposit at the end of each year to pay for
their children.s educational requirements until the youngest is out of school? Assume that
educational expenses are withdrawn at the beginning of each year and that the last deposit
will be made at the beginning of the last year of the younger child.s college education.
A Rs. 15230
B Rs. 14,989
C Rs. 12,386
D None of the above
Solution: Step 1) Calculate the Inflation adjusted present value of tuition expenses for
both children using Cash Mode: Inflation adjusted return = ((1.12/1.06)-1)*100 = 5.66
D.Editor x-
1: 0, 2: 0, 3: 0, 4: 0, 5: 0, 6: 0, 7: 0, 8: 0, 9: 0, 10: 0, 11: 0, 12: 20000, 13: 20000, 14:
40000, 15: 40000, 16: 40000, 17: 40000, 18: 20000, 19: 200000.
NPV = 108657.86
Step 2) So the present value of the education is 108657.86. The sum of money needed to
be invested at end of each year until the youngest child is out of school:
End Mode: PV = 108657.86, I = 12, N = 18, PMT = -14989
5) Vinita was recently divorced and has two children. The divorce decree requires that
she pay 1/3 of the college tuition cost for her children. The tuition cost is currently Rs.
15,000 per year and has been increasing at 7% per year. Her son and daughter are 12 and
16 respectively and will attend college for four years beginning at age 18. How much
should she save each month, beginning today for the next five years to finance education
for both the children (in nearest rupee)? Assume that her after-tax rate of return will be
9% and that general inflation has been 4% p.a.
A) Rs. 750
B) Rs. 739
C) Rs. 2,235
D) Rs. 2,500
Solution: Step 1) Tuition Cost for each child for Vinita = Rs 5000.
Calculate the Inflation adjusted present value of tuition expenses for both children using
Cash Mode: Inflation adjusted = ((1.9/1.07)-1)*100 = 1.869
D.Editor x-
1: 0, 2: 0, 3: 5000, 4: 5000, 5: 5000, 6: 5000, 7: 5000, 8: 5000, 9: 5000, 10: 5000.
NPV = 36158.96027 because son 6 year collage will begin age 18 for four year so 6+4=10 for son +four year
Step 2) so the present value of the education cost is 36158.96. The sum of money needed
to be invested monthly in begin mode until the youngest child is out of school:
Begin Mode: PV = 36158.96027, I = 9/12, N = 5*12,
PMT = -739

Correct answer

Mr. Rajan’s investment portfolio comprises Rs.2 lakh in equity, Rs.5 lakh in debt and Rs. 1 lakh in his bank current

account.

Over one year the returns on equity and debt are 5% and 12%. At the end of the year to maintain his current

asset

allocation, he needs to ________

Ans. He needs move Rs.7500/- to equity from debt and Rs. 8750/-to cash from debt

Equity of Rs.2.00 Lakhs form 25% of total amount of 8.00 Lakh. After one year with the return of 5% it would be
200000+10000 = 210000
Similarly Debt of 5.00 Lakhs is 62.5% of 8 lakhs. After one year with the return of 12% , it would be
500000+60000 = 560000.
The current account bal of Rs.1.00 Lakh forms 12.5% of 8.00 Lakh, and would remain the same as the Bank
current account does not get any interst. ( in fact there would be service charges, which is ignored)
After one year, the total would be 870000( 210000+560000+100000). To maintain the same percentage of
25%,62.5%& 12.5%, the amount in these heads should be 217500, 543750 &108750. To acheive this, he has to
transfer Rs.16250 fro Debt fund to Equity ( 7500 ) and Current a/c ( 8750 ).
A client has the need to provide for the cost of his child’s college education. He envisages that four annual
payments of Rs. 20,000, in current money terms, would be needed beginning 15 years from now. Assuming level
of inflation at 5% per annum and that the fund earns 8% per annum returns throughout, calculate the present
value to be placed on this liability when carrying out a needs analysis for this client. (Round of your answer to the

A Client has a 20-year moneyback policy with Sum Assured of Rs. 200000, Premium per annum 13,672. 20% will

be paid to the policyholder at the end of the 5th year, 10th and the 15th year and 40% for the 20th year. The client

has received the 3rd moneyback. You estimate the gross returns presently in the policy considering reversionary

bonus of Rs. 50/1000 Sum Assured. You compare the cost benefit if the client pays all premiums & survives the

policy & also gets Rs. 150/1000 Sum Assured as loyalty Bonus. You conclude that ______

1. The additional inflow on 5 future premiums less opportunity cost would be 12% return

2. The additional inflow on 5 future premiums less opportunity cost would be more than 19% return
