minimum level. In this process, the decision to include any security in a portfolio depends on many factors, among which risk and return of securities are at top. Along with risk and return of individual securities, it is also important to consider the correlation among portfolio securities as
the key to diversification is to add un-correlated or negatively correlated securities in the portfolio that can help in reducing the risk. Considering this information about diversification and portfolio construction, you are required to construct equally weighted portfolios of two securities with all possible combination of securities. From the market analysis, following information is available about three securities:Requirements:
List down all possible portfolios consisting of different combination of 2 securities.
Hint: Portfolio 1 = Security A + Security B Calculate expected return for each possible portfolio. Calculate beta for each possible portfolio (calculation of individual stock betas is also
mandatory). Identify the portfolio that is riskier than market.

- Calculate Economic Valued Added (EVA) of both Companies.
Company A Company B Economic Value added (EVA) EVA = EBIT- cost of capital EBIT,= Net income+ Interest+ Tax EBIT=,1,820,000+700,000+780,000, EBIT,= 3,300,000, EVA,= EBIT – Cost of capital, EVA =,3,300,000 - 900,000, EVA for company A = 2,400,000 EVA = EBIT- cost of capital EBIT = Net income+ Interest+ Tax EBIT= 1,610,000+800,000+690,000 EBIT,= 3,100,000, EVA,= EBIT – Cost of capital, EVA = 3,100,000 - 1,100,000, EVA for company B = 2,000,000 - Based on the calculations, which company will you suggest for investment and why? (Your selection should be supported with logical reasoning)
Based on the above calculations, I will suggest Company A for investment. Because higher the Economic value added (EVA), higher will be the market value of the company. Which means Company A will maximize the shareholders wealth than company B, which is the basic objective of the investment to be made.

@zareen said in MGT201 GDB 1 Solution and Discussion:
Calculate Economic Valued Added (EVA) of both Companies.
EVA adopts almost the same form as residual income and can be expressed as follows:
EVA = NOPAT – (WACC * capital invested)
Where NOPAT = Net Operating Profits After Tax
WACC = Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Capital invested = Equity + long-term debt at the beginning of the period
and (WACC* capital invested) is also known as finance charge
