Profit Maximisation Vs. Wealth Maximization © Profit maximization is basically a single period or a short-term goal. It is usually interpreted to mean the maximization of profits within a given period of time. A firm may maximize its short-term profits at the expense of its long-term profitability and still realize this goal. Incontrast, shareholder wealth maximization is a long-term goal. shareholders are interested in future as well as present profits. Wealth maximization is generally preferred because it considers (1) wealth for the long term, (2) risk or uncertainty. (3) the timing of returns, and (4) the shareholders’ return. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Corporate finance vs. Financial Services Corporate Finance Involves: — Financing — Investing — Dividend Distribution — Working capital management Financial services are intermediary services available for corporate such as: — Banking services — Insurance services — Merchant banking services — Portfolio management — Financial consultancy — Venture capital — Leasing and hire purchase — Credit rating © scanned with OKEN Scanner Financial Management vs. Accounting 1.

Pay Back: It is a time period within which the entire investment in the project is recovered out of the cash inflows (profits) ofthe project. Si Every investor is interested to know the payback because to recover the present investment within the stipulated time is the main concem of business. Acceptability Rule: Accept if PB < Maximum affordable period Merits: 1. Pay back focus on liquidity aspect of business. 2. This is a popular, easy to understand and use. 3. This method can be easily used along with other methods 4. This method prefers the project of earlier and heavier profits. Demerits: 1. This method is not a perfect method as the decision criterion is liquidity and not profitability. 2. This method does not consider time value of money. 3. PB does not consider the entire project’s profitability © scanned with OKEN Scanner Significance, merits and demerits of methods of capital budgeting (Cont..) 2. Average Rate of Return (ARR) This is another non-discounting or traditional technique of capital budgeting. ARR is also known as accounting rate of return because the real accounting data are used for this method. Significance: Because of its simplicity, the ARR is popularly used to know the percentage return on the investment into the project. Acceptability Rule: Accept if ARR > Minimum desirable rate of return Merits: 1. Use of accounting data makes this method more practical and reliable. 2. ARR method is easy to understand and use. 3. This method gives an average idea about the entire profitability of business. Demerits: 1. ARR does not consider the time value of money factor. 2. As ARR take data from accounting, the limitation of historical data comes in the computation. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Significance, merits and demerits of methods of capital budgeting (Cont..) Discounting Techniques of Capital Budgeting Net Present Value (NPV) Method Under NPV method all the cash inflows of the project are discounted with given discount rate and cash inflows are converted into present values (PVs). If total of these PVs is higher than the present investment, the given project is profitable. Acceptability Rule: Accept if NPV is positive Significance: This is the most popularly used discounting technique of capital budgeting for being consistent with the WM objective of shareholders. Merits: 1. NPV incorporates the time value of money consideration. 2. Since NPV method decides the acceptability of the project on the basis of a cut off point of discount rate, the method is more practical. 3. NPV method is useful to take decision regarding a group of projects by adding the NPV of all of these projects. 4. NPV method is superior on reinvestment Limitations: 1. Estimated figures of opportunity cost, cash flows and duration of project. 2. Requirement for risk adjustment in the estimates sumption. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Significance, merits and demerits of methods of capital budgeting (Cont..) Discounting Techniques of Capital Budgeting Internal Rate of Return (IRR) IRR is the rate at which the NPV of a given project is equal to its present investment. Acceptability Rule: Accept if IRR > Opportunity cost of capital Significance: With the help of IRR the entire profitability of given project is known. IRR gives a complete idea of project performance in terms of profitability. Merits: 1. IRR consider the time value of money and is consistent with SWM. 2. IRR is suitable for small projects with moderate return. 3. For IRR calculation the actual discount rate is not required. 4, The entire profitable worth of a given project can be evaluated with the help ol Demerits: 1. Reinvestment assumption does not favor high IRR yielding projects. 2. IRR involves too tedious calculation. 3. Only mutually exclusive projects are evaluated with the help of IRR. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Significance, merits and demerits of methods of capital budgeting (Cont..)

Therefore, we have an idea by these cumulative figures that Payback period should be somewhere in between 4 to 5 years. It is sure that 4 years are the complete years and a part of 5! year would make the exact payback period. Now we compute Payback with the help of following formula: Payback Period (if eash inflows are uneven) = Complete years + amount to be recovered/next cash inflow =4+10 lakh/15 lakh 4 +0.67 = 4.67 years (Answer) Acceptability Rule: Accept if Actual PB< Desirable PB.

High High 2 Low Low Bo High Low 4. Low High 10 © scanned with OKEN Scanner Answer of question no 2: Situation 1, (both the leverages being high) means that the concem is vulnerable to a very high risky situation of both the risk very high. This is not an optimum situation. Both the risk being high is not a good option. Situation 2, (both the leverages very low): This option is also not preferable as the concern is not taking benefit of any of the given leverages. Generally, it is not a good option. Situation 3 and Situation 4: (one leverage being low and another being high) : one of these options is acceptable. Out of these two Situations 3 and 4, situations 4 (low OL and high FL) is better because high OL is not reversible low once it is achieved to high on the other hand high FL is reversible if not desirable. High FL can be reduced by paying off the redeemable debt. But in case of high OL it can not be reversed because fixed assets can not be disinvested. Situation 4 is the Best One: Hence, Option 4 with low OL and high FL is the most appropriate situation. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Important Conclusions 1. Leverages are important for profit planning and for the achievement of financial objective of shareholders wealth maximization. 2. Financial leverage is related with capital structure or with financing function 3. Operating leverage is related with investment into fixed assets or investment function 4. Combined leverage monitors both of these leverages 5. Both of these leverages may be negative and harmful for the business. So these leverages have to be used carefully. 6. No business should ignore any of these leverages as these leverage offer good advantages for a given business. 7. High operating leverage is irreversible, hence has to be increased with great care. 8. Financial leverage is flexible. It can be increase or decrease with the help of redeemable debt. 9.

It is the rate of return required to be paid to investor for making investment. Whenever, the finance manager collects capital from different sources it is required to pay a cost or return to the owner of each source of fund, this payment from the part of business to the investors/suppliers of fund is termed cost of capital for the business. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Component Cost (CC) & Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Component Cost of Capital Accompany collects long term capital from different sources. For each source it pays a return to its investor. This cost payable to each of the sources is known as component cost of capital. Following are the possible components of capital: 1. 2. Preference capital 3. 4. Retained earnings Equity Capital Debt © scanned with OKEN Scanner Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) The component amount (w) and cost of capital (cc) in the capital structure of the company are in different proportion constituting the total capital of the company. On the basis of the proportional amount (w) of each component and its respective cost (cc), the average cost of capital is computed. The average cost comes after multiplying “w” and “c”. This average cost of capital is known as Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). It is this weighted average cost of capital which is the opportunity cost or the minimum required rate of return or the discount rate attributable to the overall capital of the company. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Significance of Weighted Average Cost of Capital 1. Average Cost of Entire Capital WACC gives an idea about the average cost of overall capital in the capital structure. 2. Facilitates investment decision With the help of the WACC the decision regarding the acceptability of a given project is taken. If WACC is entirely recoverable then only the project is acceptable. 3. Optimum Capital Structure It is helpful in optimizing the capital structure of the company. We can develop an optimum mix of different types of funds with varying cost. 4. Overcome risk in capital budgeting WACC is also helpful in overcoming the risk factors involved in capital budgeting as WACC is the most important consideration in it. 5. Profit planning WACC guides the company in profit planning and maximizing the shareholders’ welfare. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Computation of Component Cost (CC) Cost of Debt (K,) Debt is a fixed cost fund. The rate of interest on debt is mentioned. For the business employing debt into its capital structure, the benefit of tax is available. This benefit is adjusted in the rate of interest payable on debt fund. Since the tax adjustment is beneficial for the company, the effective cost of capital after tax tends to fall. Another thing we need to incorporate in the cost of debt is its duration. It means we should know whether the debt is perpetual or redeemable after a period of time. We therefore, need to compute after tax cost of debt both in case of redeemable and irredeemable debt.

In that case, the dividend would be divided by market price and growth rate would be added to find out the cost of equity capital. K,.=D/NP or MP+G = (4.75/100)+0.06 = 0.0475+0.06 = 0.1075 .75% (Answer) Cost of equity externally It means that the project is being financed through the issue of share capital and not through the retention of earnings. In that case, the dividend would be divided by net proceed and then growth rate would be added to find out the cost of capital. K.= D/NP or MP+G = (4.75/95)+0.06 = 0.05+0.06 = 0.11 or 11% (Answer) © scanned with OKEN Scanner Cost of Retained Earnings Retained earnings are available within the company in the form reserves after distributing dividends to the shareholders. Retained earnings represent cumulative earnings of a business firm since its’ inception. The same retained earnings are ploughed back into the firm’s growth by making it a part of capital structure. Retained earnings are also known as capitalized profits. The cost of retained earnings is the opportunity cost of shareholders and is calculated same as we calculate the cost of equity Capital.

If the use of debt is profitable then it increases the value of the firm and vice versa. Capital structure theories belong to two categories: a) Theories of Relevance and: b) Theories of Irrelevance The capital structure theories use the following assumptions for simplicity: 1) The firm uses only two sources of funds: debt and equity. 2) The effects of taxes are ignored. 3) There is no change in investment decisions or in the firm's total assets. 4) No income is retained. 5) Business risk is unaffected by the financing mix. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Four Capital Structure Theories 1. Net Income (NI) Approach 2. Net Operating Income (NOI) Approach 3. Traditional Approach 4. M-M Hypothesis NI Approach and Traditional Approach suggest that capital structure are relevant and affect the value of the firm. On the other hand, NOI Approach and MM Hypothesis support the view of the irrelevance of capital structure. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Net Income Approach: Relevance of Capital Structure ‘According to this approach, a firm can minimize the weighted average cost of capital and increase the value of the firm as well as market price of equity shares by using debt financing to the maximum possible extent. The theory propounds that a company can increase its value and decrease the overall cost of capital by increasing the proportion of debt in its capital structure. This approach is based upon the following assumptions: 1. The cost of debt is less than the cost of equity. 2. There are no taxes. 3. The risk perception of investors is not changed by the use of debt. (Cost or equITY) (Net Income Approach: Effect of Leverageon CostofCapital) © scanned with OKEN Scanner Net Operating Income Approach: Irrelevance of CS This theory as suggested by Durand is another extreme of the effect of leverage on the value of the firm. It is diametrically opposite to the net income approach. According to this approach, change in the capital structure of a company does not affect the market value of the firm and the overall cost of capital remains constant irrespective of the method of financing. This theory presumes that: 1. The market capitalizes the value of the firm as a whole; 2. The business risk remains constant at every level of debt equity mix; 3. There are no corporate taxes. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Traditional Approach: The Three Stages The traditional approach, also known as Intermediate approach, has three stages. According to this theory, in the first stage, the value of the firm can be increased initially by using more debt as the debt is a cheaper source of funds than equity. In the stage two, optimum capital structure is attained by a proper debt-equity mix. At stage two overall cast is the lowest. Beyond stage two, the cost of equity increases because increased debt increases the financial risk of the equity shareholders. The advantage of cheaper debt at this point of capital structure is offset by increased cost of equity. After this there comes a stage, when the increased cost of equity cannot be offset by the advantage of low-cost debt, According to traditional theory, stage two is the best and preferable whereas, stages one and three are not preferable. All the three stages have been depicted in the graph below: 08 COSPOFCAerraLy ee i (Traditional Approach: Effectof Leverageon Costof Capital) canals —e © scanned with OKEN Scanner Modigliani and Miller (MM) Approach: Irrelevance of CS M&M hypothesis is identical with the Net Operating Income approach if taxes are ignored. However, when corporate taxes are assumed to exist, their hypothesis is similar to the Net Income Approach. The M&M approach is based upon the following assumptions: There are no corporate taxes. There is a perfect market. Investors act rationally. The expected earnings of all the firms have identical risk characteristics. 5. The cut-off point of investment in a firm is capitalization rate. Risk to investors does not change. 7. All earnings are distributed to the shareholders. aoa s © scanned with OKEN Scanner MM Approach with No Taxes MM approach in the absence of corporate taxes, i.e., the theory of irrelevance of financing mix has been presented in the following figure: I g é 5 I 0 ——— beck oF LeveRAce ———> (MM Theory of rrelevance: Effect of Leverageon costof debt, equity and overallcost of capital) eS enreeue Pe K4(COST OF DEBT) Kg (OVERALL. ‘COST OF CAPITAL) x © scanned with OKEN Scanner MM Approach with Taxes (Theory of Relevance) Modigliani and Miller, in their article of 1963 have recognized that the value of the firm will increase or the cost of capital will decrease with the use of debt on account of deductibility of interest charges for tax purpose. Thus, the optimum capital structure can be achieved by maximizing the debt mix in the equity of a firm.

M & M theory suggests this situation cannot remain for a long period because of the arbitrage process. As the investors in high-debt-company earn a higher rate of return on their investment with high financial risk, they will sell their holding of shares and invest the same in low- debt-company. Further, as low debt company does not use significant debt in its capital structure, the financial risk to the investors will be less, thus, they buy the share in high-debt-company in order to earn more. The investors can even use borrowed funds to earn more. This arbitrage process will continue till the prices of shares of both the companies are equalized. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Concluding Remarks 1. Theories of Capital Structure argue about the use of debt in the capital mix and its resulting impact on the value of firm 2. These theories have been divided into two categories, theories of relevance and theories of irrelevance. 3. All the theories are bound by certain assumptions which are subject to criticism. 4. Application of these theories would be possible if all the assumptions are realized. 5. The study of these theories develops academic and technical insights. 6. Practically, in the industry, at the time of formulation of investment and financing policies some guidance is available from these capital structure. 7. The study of these theories opens up more possibilities of further research on these topics. © scanned with OKEN Scanner Dividend Decision Theories Unit 4 Financial Management MBA 2"¢ Semester, © scanned with OKEN Scanner Dividend Theories Types of Dividend Theories Dividend Decision Theories Relevant Theories Irrelevant Theories — | ATi) Gordon's Miller Modigliani Model Model Theory © scanned with OKEN Scanner 2 Dividend Theories Dividend theories are based on the relationship between dividend and the value of the firm. Some theories advocate that payment of dividend affect the value of firm and hence dividend policy is relevant in order to have the benefits out of the dividend payout. Other theories on the other hand say that dividend payment decision does not affect the value of the firm hence, it payment of any dividend is relevant in a given organization. Important theories advanced in this regard as under: 1. Walter’s Model 2. Gordon’s Model 3. Modigliani and Miller’s Hypothesis © scanned with OKEN Scanner Walter’s Model: Dividend Relevance Professor James E. Walter argues that the choice of dividend policies almost always affects the value of the enterprise. Important Assumptions of Walter’s Model: 1. Only Retained Earnings as a Source of Financing The firm finances all investment through retained earnings; that is debt or new equity is not issued; 2. Constant rand k The firm’s internal rate of return (r), and its cost of capital (k) are constant; 3. Either Distribute or Retain the Earnings All earnings are either distributed as dividend or reinvested internally immediately. 4. E (EPS) and D (DPS) remain constant Beginning earnings and dividends never change. The values of the earnings per share (E), and the divided per share (D) may be changed in the model to determine results, but any given values of E and D are assumed to remain constant forever in determining a given value. 5. Infinite Life of the Firm The firm has a very long or infinite life. 4 © scanned with OKEN Scanner Walter's Model Formula D+(E-D)r/k K P= Price per equity share D= Dividend per share E= Earnings per share (E-D)= Retained earnings per shares r= Internal rate of return on investment k= Cost of equity © scanned with OKEN Scanner 3 Type of Firms-Growth, Normal & Declining “Growth Fm, > k Normal Fim, =k Decining Firm, r
