Chapter 3 Source of capital
Capital
Before knowing about the different sources of capital, one must know what capital is. The word
capital used in connection with a company has several different meanings.
Types of Capital:
24
iv. Called up capital
The amount due on the share subscribed may be collected form the shareholders in installments at
different intervals. Called up capital is that amount of the nominal value of shares subscribed for which
the company has asked its shareholders to pay by means of calls or otherwise.
v. Paid-up capital
Paid up capital is that part of the capital which is actually paid up by the members Is known as the paid
up capital. In other words, paid up capital represents the total payments made by the shareholders to
the company in response to the calls made by the company.
25
Need of capital
There is more than one way to skin a cat. We'd better remember this old adage when business
needs more inventory, personnel, and facilities. As business grows, so does need for more and
more capital. There are more than one way and more than one place to raise the money you need.
There are many factors that can create a need for additional capital. Some of the more common
are as follows:
Sales growth requires inventories to be built to support the higher sales level.
Sales growth creates a larger volume of accounts receivable.
Growth requires the business to carry larger cash balances in order to meet its current
obligations to employees, trade creditors, and others.
Expansion opportunities such as a decision to open a new branch, add a new product, or
increase capacity.
Cost savings opportunities such as equipment purchases that will lower production costs
or reduce operating expenses.
Opportunities to realize substantial savings by taking advantage of quantity discounts on
purchases for inventory, or building inventories prior to a supplier's price increase
Seasonal factors, where inventories must be built before the selling season begins and
receivables may not be collected until 30 to 60 days after the selling season ends.
Current repayment of obligations or debts may require more cash than is immediately
available.
Local or national economic conditions which cause sales and profit to decline
temporarily.
Economic difficulties of customers that can cause them to pay more slowly than
expected.
Failure to retain sufficient earnings in the business.
Inattention to asset management may have allowed inventories or accounts receivable to
get out of hand.
26
Factors affecting Type of financing
Availability of funds.
27
There are many ways in which one can arrange capital for the business. But this entire source
comes under two categories. These two categories are as followed: -
1. Internal Source
Internal sources are those generated from or within the business itself. The most important
internal source is profit, or more accurately, cash flow. The amount available, of course, is a
function of how much is generated and retained in the business.
i. Profits/Retained earnings
Retained earnings refer to the portion of net income which is retained by the corporation rather
than distributed to its owners as dividends. Similarly, if the corporation takes a loss, then that
loss is retained and called variously retained losses, accumulated losses or accumulated deficit.
Retained earnings and losses are cumulative from year to year with losses offsetting earnings.
Retained earnings are reported in the shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet.
Companies with net accumulated losses may refer to negative shareholders' equity as a
shareholders' deficit. A complete report of the retained earnings or retained losses is presented in
the Statement of Retained Earnings or Statement of retained losses.
28
closely. If they are nonproductive, they can often be liquidated so that cash is available to meet
the immediate needs of the business.
A non-recurring source of internally generated capital may be found by wringing out cash tied up
in the balance sheet. This might include selling some machinery or equipment that is not
necessary or is too expensive, or the unlocking of cash tied up in working capital. Here is Savvy
Company’s working capital:
29
As can be seen, Savvy has Rs. 5,000,000 tied up in working capital (current assets minus current
liabilities). However, if the business institutes practices that allow it to maintain less inventory
and collect more rapidly on receivables, for example, cash can be generated (tax free).
For example, let’s say that by devising and instituting some new policies, Savvy is able to
support the current level of annual revenue with just Rs. 4,500,000 in receivables (because they
collect more quickly) and Rs. 2,000,000 in inventory (because they become able to turn
inventory more quickly), working capital can be reduced to Rs. 3,500,000 … Rs. 1,500,000 in
cash is generated.
A planned program of trade credit extensions can often help the business secure extra capital that
it needs without recourse to lenders or equity investors. This is particularly true whenever the
capital need is relatively small or short in duration.
Take full advantage of available payment terms. If no cash discount is offered and
payment is due on the 30th day, do not make any payments before the 30th day.
Whenever possible, negotiate extended payment terms with suppliers. For example, if a
supplier's normal payment terms are net 30 days from the receipt of goods, these could be
extended to net 30 days from the end of the month. This effectively "buys" an average of 15
extra days.
If the business feels that it needs a substantial increase in time, say 60 to 90 days, it
should advise suppliers of this need. They will often be willing to accept it, provided that the
business is faithful in its adherence to payment at the later date.
Consider the effect of cash discounts and delinquency penalties for late payment.
Frequently, the added cost of trade credit may be far more expensive than the cost of
alternate financing such as a short-term bank loan.
30
Consider the possibility signing a note for each shipment promising payment at a specific
later date. Such a note, which may or may not be interest-bearing, would give the supplier
evidence of your intent to pay and increase the supplier’s confidence in your business.
v. Reducing Stocking
The business can finance new activities or pay-off debts by selling its assets such as property,
fixtures & fittings, machinery, vehicles etc.
It is often used as a short term source of finance (e.g. selling a vehicle to pay debts) but could
provide more longer term finance if the assets being sold are very valuable (e.g. land or
buildings)
If a business wants to use its assets, it may consider sale and lease-back where it may sell its
assets and then rent or hire it from the business that now owns the assets. It may mean paying
more money in the long run but it can provide cash in the short term to avoid a crisis.
Unlike you and me, a business does not normally pay for things before it takes possession of
them. Instead, it will usually place an order for supplies / inputs and will pay after receiving the
items. It is good practice to pay quickly (often within one month) as this will help the business
develop a good relationship with its suppliers.
This source of finance appears on the balance sheet as trade credit. This method of deferring
(delaying) payment to a future date is a form of very short term borrowing and helps with the
problems of the cash cycle identified in the work on liquidity.

Cost reduction
Shortening bills receivable period
31
2. External Source of Capital
This is finance that comes from outside the business. It involves the business owing money to
outside individuals or institutions
Internal sources of finance are available to the firm, but these may be more limited in scope and
for large projects, the firm may be forced to turn to banks or other institutions (external sources)
to help them rise sufficient funding. The main external sources are:-
i. Financing by debt
Beyond the initial stages, startups can resort to financing by way of debt. The term debt usually
signifies a short- or long-term line of credit. The lenders can be banks, venture capitalists, or
bodies which specialize in providing credit. The borrower receives the right to use the money for
a pre-determined period of time in consideration for the payment of interest. The terms of the
loan are set in the loan agreement. To guarantee the repayment of the debt and the interest, the
loan is backed by the cash flow itself (an unsecured loan) or collateral (a secured loan).
An unsecured loan is given when the creditor ascertains that the company's cash flow will suffice
to pay the interest and the principal. Common indicators for measuring the borrower's ability to
repay the debt are his or her EBIT and leverage (debt/equity ratio). A secured loan is typically
guaranteed by a marketable asset. Financing by debt (without an equity component) is usually
inaccessible to early-stage startups, which are based on high-risk growth and which lack many
tangible assets, unless their startups have a good chance of securing long-term contracts with
customers. At later phases of the company's life cycle, it becomes easier to resort to financial
instruments containing a significant debt component. The types of financing by debt that startups
commonly use are as follows:-
32
could be their desire to avoid dilution, on the one hand and an inability to obtain ordinary bank
loans, on the other hand. From the investors' point of view, this loan offers a higher degree of
security than an ordinary investment in equity since their right is senior to that of the
shareholders.
The main source for mezzanine loans are commercial banks, insurance companies, and
specialized entities which are associated with banks, although mezzanine loans are also offered
by several funds which specialize in this type of loan. Mezzanine loans are generally given only
to companies that have already started or are about to start making sales, since the repayment of
the loan depends on the company's ability to generate cash flows. The criteria used by lenders to
screen investments are similar to those used by venture capital funds.
Generally, the securities issued in this type of investment are either high-yield convertible
debentures or are accompanied by an equity kicker in the form of warrants. The rate of interest
could be more than 10% above similar loans and range between 15% and 30% with the actual
interest rate depending to a large extent on the equity component of the loan and naturally on the
perceived risk of the loan. If the company is expected to have a negative cash flow in the first
stages after the loan is granted, the payment of interest might be deferred for several years after
the debenture is issued, with the interest accumulating during the first period. If the company
defaults on its payments, the terms of the debenture could provide for changes in the loan terms.
Such changes may include: accelerate the debenture's maturity; increase the interest rate; add
warrants for additional shares (or a discount in the conversion price in the case of convertible
debentures); add rights to control the board of directors, or add rights to force an issuance or sale
of the company.
Bridge loan- A bridge loan is typically a loan (for less than one year), designed to provide
the company with sufficient funds to finance its current activities, pending an investment round
that is expected to take place at a forthcoming time. Bridge loans are common at times close to
IPOs from various financial institutions and are also common as a mechanism for funding
between financial rounds, without the need to set valuation.
33
Other uses of debt- In the various stages of a startup's life cycle, the company may use
other sources of debt financing. For instance, many companies enable the long-term leasing of
most of the equipment required by the company. The company may also obtain short-term loans
for working capital needs, or obtain a line of credit from banks to be used as required.
ii. Equity
Equity capital is the longest term financing available to a business. In fact, it’s considered
permanent (no repayment term). Yes, equity capital comes with no payment obligation and
monies only flow to the equity holders when all other obligations have been met. This means that
equity capital is the most risky. If the business does not succeed and must be liquidated, the
equity holders only get what is left over (if any).
Equity capital is the most expensive form of capital. This makes sense when you consider the
risk. For example, a loan (debt financing) today might charge an annual rate of seven or eight
percent. Try to sell an equity stake in your business and investors might demand well north of
30%. Now, if the terms of the equity sale require a return, it’s not really a pure equity position.
When we say, “demand well north of 30%,” we mean the investor must believe he will earn it
(their “hurdle rate”) … or he won’t invest.
Equity capital is illiquid (hard to sell). Unlike trade credit or a bank loan, which can be replaced
easily with another supplier or lender, equity is not easy to sell or exchange. This is another
reason for the higher rate of return – compensation for the risk inherent in the illiquidity.
Many businesses don’t earn a return for their investor(s). This is common in small businesses
where the equity holder (owner) is also the full time manager. The owner will pay himself or
herself a salary (wage for his or her contribution of time and talent) and there will be little or no
profit left over. If equity distributions are made, it’s allocated on a pro-rata basis (i.e. according
to ownership percent), unless there is more than one class of stock (rare in a small business).
Equity is the foundation of a business’ capital structure. The way a business is financed is
referred to as its capital structure. Another way to understand “capital structure” is to identify the
source of the money. The most important piece is the equity. If the equity contribution is
34
sufficient, other types of capital providers might be willing to contribute capital (money) to your
business. For example, if you need Rs. 5,000,000 in equipment, a lender will typically not lend
you Rs. 5,000,000. After all, tangible assets decline in value over time and, given that lenders
charge fairly low rates of interest, they can’t afford a lot of risk (lost principle). Lenders need a
cushion. They want you to contribute, say, 20 percent of the purchase price with equity. Then
they will lend the other 80 percent. If you default on the loan, they will get the entire piece of
equipment and your equity will be lost. Just as the equity serves as a cushion for the lender on
the equipment loan, the overall level of equity in the business serves as a cushion for all non-
equity contributors of capital.
Does all this sound unfair? Before you, the equity holder, get too uncomfortable, consider that
the trade creditor earns no interest. The debt capital provider just gets a few percentage points in
interest and some fees. You, the equity holder, can earn as high a return as you are able to
muster. There is no limit to your upside.
Equity is also unique in that the holders of equity dictate how the business is managed. They, in
effect, are the people who determine the other capital sources. Therefore, equity is the most risky
capital, but the holders of it have the most influence in how the business is managed.
Finally, growing companies consume cash. It’s just the way it works. Sales and profit growth
follow expenditures such as: the hiring of additional employees; the purchase of more inventory,
materials and equipment; the leasing of a larger facility, etc. And, as we discussed above,
creditors (debt and trade credit) don’t want to finance 100 percent. So, growing businesses need
a continuous supply of equity capital – internal generated cash or equity obtained from investors.
35
iii. Personal savings
This mainly applies to sole traders and partnerships. Owners may use some of their own money
as capital to invest in the business. For instance, a person may be made redundant by a company
that needs to reduce in size. They would receive redundancy payment that they might use to start
their own business.
This is considered an external source as it is assumed that the money lent to the business will be
paid back to the private individual in the future, possibly with an extra amount to compensate the
individual for the help they gave. It can be a short or long term source of finance, depending
upon the amount invested and the decision of the person using their savings.
IT tends to consider two types of finance that banks offer to businesses, overdrafts and loans.
If a business spends more money than it has in its bank account, we say that it has become
overdrawn. Businesses will often have an arrangement with the bank whereby the bank will pay
the extra money provided the business will pay them back in a fairly short period of time, with
interest. This is a short term source of finance and is useful for small amounts. It is often used for
buying supplies / inputs.
A bank loan is a long term source of finance and will often be for much larger sums of money. A
loan is useful for a business that is starting up or looking to grow. Loans are often used to buy
fixed assets (see balance sheets) such as machinery and vehicles. A business will pay the bank
back each month in installments and will also pay an interest charge.
Interest- Banks is providing a service by lending money in the form of overdrafts and loans and
banks will charge for this service (they want to make a profit too). When a business takes a loan,
it will agree to pay it back over a period of years but it will also pay an extra charge. This charge,
called interest, is a percentage of the value of the loan.
36
The interest rate is set by the Bank of England and it varies. Higher the interest rate, greater the
percentage of the loan that the business must repay. In other words, if the Bank of England raises
interest rates, a business with a loan will find it has to pay the bank more each month as it pays
off its debt. Likewise, a fall in interest rates will mean that the business will have lower costs
(and therefore more profit). The interest rate is an example of an external constraint - something
outside the business' control that can seriously affect the business' performance.
v. Debenture
This is a form of long term loan that can be taken out by a public limited company for a large sum and it
will be paid back over several years. It is usually borrowed from specialist financial institutions.
Leasing involves business renting equipment that it may use for several years or months but
never own. It will have a contract with a company who may come in to repair and service the
product. The deal may also involve the product being replaced with a new model every so often.
Businesses often lease equipment such as photocopiers.
Hire purchase involves paying for equipment in installments. The business will not own the item
until all the payments have been made. It usually works out more expensive to buy an item on
hire purchase than paying all at once but it does mean that the business doesn't have to spend a
large amount of money at once.
37
The process of Internal and External sources can also be classified as:
Sources of finance

TYPES OF RESEARCH:
Descriptive Research:
DATA COLLECTION
39
1) Primary data
The primary data is that data which is collected fresh or first hand, and for first time which is
original in nature. Primary data can collect through personal interview, questionnaire etc. to
support the secondary data.
This project is based on primary data collected through personal interview of head of account
department, head of SQC department and other concerned staff member of finance department.
But primary data collection had limitations such as matter confidential information thus project
is based on secondary information collected through five years annual report of the company,
supported by various books and internet sides. The data collection was aimed at study of working
capital management of the company.
Project is based on
1. Annual report of Motherson Automotive Technology and Engineering 2008, 2009 and 2010.
2. Annual report of SKH Metals 2008, 2009 and 2010.
40
LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
Following limitations were encountered while preparing this project:
1) Limited data:-
This project has completed with annual reports; it just constitutes one part of data collection i.e.
secondary. There were limitations for primary data collection because of confidentiality.
2) Limited period:-
This project is based on three year annual reports. Conclusions and recommendations are based
on such limited data. The trend of last three year may or may not reflect the real and true picture
of the sources of funds collected by the company
3) Limited area:-
Also it was difficult to collect the data regarding the competitors and their financial information.
Industry figures were also difficult to get.

Chapter 5 Data Analysis and Findings
1. Current Ratio:
The current ratio measures the ability of the firm to meet its current liabilities from the current
assets. Higher the current ratio, greater the short-term solvency (i.e. larger is the amount of
rupees available per rupee of liability).
Current ratio= Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Interpretation:-
By observing above given chart it can be said that company is doing a good business as its
current ratio is more then 2. A good ratio is 2:1, but in case of MATE the ratio is more than two
in all given years. The company's should try to reduce its current ratio to 2:1 as it hampers the
profitability of the organization. It indicates that company has good short-term financial strength.
Where as SKH METALS also doing well and maintaining Current Ratio over 1.
Both the companies are doing well but MATE has a better Short-Term financial strength.
By observing graph and previous years’ performance it can also be stated that MATE has a
decline in Current Ratio where as SKH Metals has ups and downs in the same. This is the area
where company has to look more seriously.

2. Debt-to-Equity Ratio:
The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E) is a financial ratio indicating the relative proportion
of shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. Closely related
to leveraging, the ratio is also known as Risk, Gearing or Leverage. The two components are
often taken from the firm's balance sheet or statement of financial position (so-called book
value), but the ratio may also be calculated using market values for both, if the company's debt
and equity are publicly traded, or using a combination of book value for debt and market value
for equity financially.

Interpretation:-
With the given Profit and Loss account of the company, if we calculate the Operating Profit
Margin (OPM) of MATE we get the OPM as 19.9%, 20% and 16% in 2008, 2009 and 2010
respectively.
And if we take the alternate route to find the Operating Profit Margin, the formula is;
Looking at the graph, we can say that the company can employee more debt, in case if it wants to
expend its business, as its debt equity ratio is more then 1 and operating profit margin is above
16 % in the three years.

3. Debt-to-Asset Ratio: The Debt / Asset ratio shows the proportion of a company’s assets
which are financed through debt. If the ratio is less than one, most of the company's assets are
financed through equity. If the ratio is greater than one, most of the company's assets are
financed through debt. Companies with high debt/asset ratios are said to be "highly leveraged,"
and could be in danger if creditors start to demand repayment of debt.
Debt-Asset Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets

Observation: -
Here in this table, I have tried to show the share of each individual source and its total share in
the capital. The first graph shows the total funding of each source in Rs. And the second chart
shows the total share of each source in percentage.
However it can be observed from the table that reserves and surplus is the biggest funding source
with the company, from the given all four Sources it is the most trusted and easy way of
financing.
The total share of Share capital and unsecured loans is 1% and 8% respectively, whereas secured
loans has 24% share in the funds available for the company.
Reserves and surplus has the most stakes in all of the four sources with 67%.

CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION
The company is a matured one and it has contributed well in the countries growth and
development and will also continue to perform and contribute to the whole nation. In conclusion,
I can say that the companies management is an effective one and knows well the management of
finance, its sources of capital management system is very good because of which only the
company has got the status of HONDA company.
56
Chapter 7 SUGGESTIONS
The year 2009-10 company has lower percentage in Source of Capital as compared to earlier
years. The company must increase its Equity capital and Loan funds. The greater the margin, the
better will be the liquidity of the firm.
The Company should maintain the low level of creditors because the company can pay
them easily whenever required.
The company should maintain a proper inventory management system, so the
unnecessary blockage of money can be avoided.
There should have adequate cash and bank balance with the company to meet short-term
or daily basis requirements of money. The company has low cash and bank balance in the
year 2009 -10 as compared to last years.
As we have already seen the Debt-Equity ratio of the company is much more than what it
required. If the company can lower its Debt-Equity ratio near to 2:1, the company would
be able to use more financial leverage to increase the return of the Equity Shareholders.
