Mac3761 test 4 solutions, (a) The two investment alternatives SIG is exploring are:
1. Replacement project: Buying a 35% equity stake in Southpoint Limited, which is an
existing company with established cash flows.
2. Expansion project: Buying four apartment buildings from Joe Burden Properties (JBP),
which is a new investment opportunity with potential for growth.
(b) To determine if the envisaged investment in Southpoint Limited meets the minimum key
performance indicators (KPIs) as at 31 July 2024:
1. Net interest cover: 45,,881 = 2.71 times (meets the minimum requirement of 2.5
times)
Potential consequence of deterioration: Increased risk of default on interest payments.
2. Dividend payout ratio: 10,,578 = 50% (exceeds the minimum requirement of
40%)
Potential consequence of deterioration: Reduced dividend payments to shareholders.
3. EBITDA margin: (45,675 + 3,200) / 84,450 = 57.4% (exceeds the minimum requirement of
55%)
Potential consequence of deterioration: Reduced profitability and cash flows.
Conclusion: Southpoint Limited meets the minimum KPIs as at 31 July 2024.
