3. Mr.Suresh Bhonsle is
treasury head in India of a multi-national bank. In his individual capacity he
is an investor of stocks. Over the years he has built up a robust portfolio by investing
in stocks of companies of various sectors. In Airlines industry he has
investment in 1000 shares in Indigo ( InterGlobe Aviation Ltd.). The sector got
badly hit during Covid 19. Mr. Bhonsle (being MBA finance from NMIMS and FRM
and treasury head of a bank) goes through the financial statement of the
company thoroughly. He notes, as a result of Covid Pandemic - Indigo suffered a
net loss of Rs.58298 million during the financial year 2020-21 of which around
9% (Rs 5230 million) is attributable to foreign exchange loss. He further notes
that the effect of exchange rate change (loss) on cash and cash equivalents
held in foreign currency is Rs.177.28 million. ‘Notes on accounts’ further reveals
that there is considerable foreign currency outgo resulting from loan
repayment. The profit/ loss arises mainly on exchange difference in repayment
of foreign currency loan. Despite foreign currency transaction exposure there
does not seem to be in place proper ‘hedging’ of currency risk. Currency risk
can be hedged using forward contract with a multinational bank at the same future
rate prevailing in the market. Alternatively, the company can deploy money
market hedge. Among other loan repayments as per various schedules, suppose
indigo has to pay Rs. 5 million (INR) at the yearend 2020-21 without hedging
taking spot rate as USD 1 = 76 (or 1 INR= $0.0131). The market condition in
2020-21 was as under-
Indian 1 year T-bill rate 5.50% per annum
U.S 1 year bond yield 1.00%
Spot exchange rate Rs.76/$1
Forward
(future)exchange rate at the beginning of 2020-21 Rs.74/$/1
Required:
a. Compute the impact of
hedging if forward rate route (forward hedge) is taken. (5 Marks)
b. Compute the impact of money
market hedge and compare with forward hedge (a) to arrive at logical conclusion
as to hedging strategy the company should follow. (5 Marks)
Services
Marketing
1. You are the owner of a
retail chain. You currently have consumer durables, groceries and private label
clothing range for kids, men, and women. The price point is low and the quality
you offer is fantastic. You have more than eighty percent repeat customers. In
most of the customer surveys that you have conducted with market research
agencies have pointed this unique feature of your store. You have successfully
operated your business in Delhi. You have about 15 stores operating across the
state. During the last five years, you have spread your offerings to the other
northern states, and you have seen a wonderful response. You are pretty
encouraged. After operating the stores for couple of years, the brand is not
growing at the pace at which it should have. You are not able to figure out
why. A consultant suggested to promote the brand in a big way. How will you do
this? (10 Marks)

industry for a decade, and you are now fed up with the boring work environment
around you. The entrepreneurial bug has bitten you and a food business is in

is large enough to sustain the business, disposable incomes are high, and you feel

3. Trail Blazers academy is a
coaching academy, providing training, coaching, and counselling services for
students. Their primary revenue source is from the coaching they do for medical
and JEE. Established a decade ago, it is now a well-known brand, but faces
sever competition from the crowded market of the coaching space. The quality of
the students passing out are well known and many candidates are able to crack
the JEE and medical exams. However, in the last couple of years, the company
has tried to expand using the franchise model. This was possibly the best model
available. But with tremendous amount of competition happening online and
offline, the pricing model of the academy has changed. The fees for the course
are on the brochure but is charged variably. There are no standardizations
followed. Many of the franchisee’s charge whatever they want to, essentially to
maintain a minimum threshold of students flowing into the organisation.
Sometimes the centre heads of the franchise, encourage existing students to
bring in new candidates, there by incentivizing them. Some of the hard negotiators
are able to settle down at a lower price point that what others are paying. In many
cases, students were allowed just with a token money with more than the usual EMIs.
Everything seems to be as per the flexibility of the centre managers. While
some of the franchises are happy, others are not. The location of the centre,
number of enrolments drive the pricing. The parents are unhappy with this
mechanism and there are complaints floating in the social media about Trail
Blazers.
a. How will you build a
renowned ‘Trail Blazer’ brand? (5 Marks)
b. How will you deal with your
complaining customers? (5 Marks)
