Dear Prashant/ Manish,
Can you please provide the solution for the question in Investment Planning. My answer comes to 953884 while the correct answer is shown as 804114
“Ms. Madhu is in the business of buying houses, fixing them up and reselling them at a profit. She is considering purchasing a house but knows that she has to invest Rs. 250000 at the end of the first month and Rs. 50000 at the end of 6 months to restore the house before selling it. She expects to sell the house at the end of 18 months for Rs. 1760000. If Madhu requires a 25% annual return on her investments and there is a 6% real estate brokerage payable for these transactions, then what is the maximum amount she can offer to buy the house?
( a )Rs. 906880 ( b ) Rs. 872850 ( c ) Rs. 804114 ( d )Rs. 852360”
Please could some one provide a solution for this problem.
Thanks
R. Varadarajan

Dear R varadarajan my friend guide me in this way:-
this sum can be solved with the help npv cashflow
months cash flow
1 -250000
2 0
3 0
4 0
5 0
6 -50000
7 0
8 0
repeat this upto 17 months,then
18 1654400(1760000-((1760000*6%))).
compute npv which comes to 852361.this figure represents net npv. for every 100 rs u need to pay 6 rs brokerage,if we convert this into 100 then we will get her max.purchase price that she can offer to purchase a house.
852361 106(brokerage)
? 100(brokerage).answer=804114
R Varadarajan said
Thanks for the response and clarifications and the working. I had tried this as well – but was getting the NPV as 870118.71 instead of 852361 with interest =25/12. Am I making any mistake. Please could you confirm. Thanks again for your help
Vinayak said
Mr. Varadarajan,
In the cash mode, enter -250000 at 2, -50000 at 7 and 1654400 at 19. This is so because 1 in cash mode signifies beginning. Since 250000 is invested at the end of the month, you have to enter it at 2. This is the rule you should follow in CASH mode. Try this and you will get the answer.
Vinayak
R Varadarajan said
Thank ou Vinayak. It makes sense, since there is no provision for year/Month ‘0’ in Cash Mode, and since we start at 1, the end of 1st month becomes 2. I checked that up and it works. Thanks for your clarification.

Manish said
Dear R varadarajan try this sum on excel i think there might be some difference in mode.

Prashant Shah said
Dear Zalak,
Unfortunately we don’t have any other questions for Insurance apart from FPSB sample. And past question banks seem to be irrelevant now.

PRADEEP.PACHIMATLA said
HI ,,, SIR GOOD AFTERNOON ,,,,,,,,,,,I WANT TO WRITE TAXATION PLANNING CAN YOU GIVE SUGESTION WHICH BOOK I PERPARED PLEASE I ALREADY WROTE 2TIMES BUT ITS NOT CLEARED
Prashant Shah said
Dear Pradeep,
You can use any of the book available in market for CFP. Taxation as a subject requires lot of conceptual and technical understanding, hence you need not search for the books here and there. It is a bit tricky module but it has been divided into 3. 20% IFP, roughly 20% estate planning and remaining is pure tax. That to capital gain is given good weight. So all you need to do is to plan your preparation.
Best Regards,
Prashant.

Anees Rao said
Hello sir,
Regarding the sec 4, question 6 in the Fpsb taxation sample paper
Click to access Sample%20Paper_TPEP.pdf
I have seen a solution which basically assumes that the pension that the beneficiaries receive is tax free. They only pay taxes on the income from house property that is distributed to them. The total tax comes to Rs. 70864 inclusive of chess, which is payable by the representative assesses.
I couldn’t find any basis for the exemption on the pension part in the rules. Can you please help me understand this?
Regards,
Anees rao
