ACCOUNTING OF SHARE CAPITAL ( III SEM BBM)

To issue shares a company follows a definite procedure which is controlled and regulated by the Companies Act and

Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI). There are different ways of issue of shares which may be:

(A) For consideration other than cash

(B) For cash

(A) Issue of shares for consideration other than cash

Sometimes shares are issued to the promotors of the company in lieu of the services provided by them during the

incorporation of the compnay. The issue price of these shares is normally debited to ‘Goodwill A/c’ and journal entry is

made as follows :

Goodwill A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c

In case a company does not have sufficient funds for the purchase of fixed assets or for payment to creditors it may

offer and allot its shares to vendors/ creditors in lieu of cash. Any allotment of shares against which cash is not to be

received is called ‘issue of shares for consideration other than cash’. For example building is purchased and payment is

made by issuing shares. In case of purchase of assets like building, machinery, stock of materials,etc. the following

journal entry is made :

1. Assets A/c Dr

To Vendors/Creditors A/c

(Assets purchased)

2. Vendors/Creditors A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c

(Issue of shares of Rs…….each fullly paid up)

(B) Issue of Shares for cash

In general, shares are issued for cash. The company may call the share money either in one instalment or in two or

more instalments. But company always collects this money through its bankers.

(i) Receipt of share money in one instalment

The company may receive the share money in one instalment along with application. In this case the following journal

entries are made in the books of the company

1. On Receipt of Application Money

Bank A/c Dr

To Share Application A/c

(Application money received on ….shares of Rs…each)

2. On transferring the Application Money

Share Application A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c

(Application money transferred to share capital A/c)

(ii) Share money received in two or more instalments

Instead of receiving payment in one instalment i.e. at the time of application the company collects it in two or more

instalments. The first, instalment which the appplicants have to pay along with the applications for shares is known as

application money. On the allotment of shares the allottees are required to pay the second instalment which is termed

as allotment money.

If the company decides to call the share money in more than two instalments the other instalment is/are termed as call

money (i.e. first-call, second call or final call).

In the above case the transactions are recorded in journal as given below :

(a) On receipt of application money

(i) Bank A/c Dr

To Share Application A/c

(Reciept of share application money for …. Shares @ Rs.. per share)

(b) On allotment of shares

1

Page 2: Accounting of Share Capital

After receiving the application for shares within the prescribed time, the Board of Directors of the company proceed to

allot shares. On allotment of shares the applicaion money is transferred to Share Capital A/c. For this the following

journal entry is made :

Share Application A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c

(Share application for …. Shares @ Rs… per share transferred to share

capital A/c)

Allotment Money becoming due and received

On the allotment of shares the amount receivable on the next instalment i.e. on allotment becomes due. The following

entry is made for recording the amount due :

(i) Allotment money becoming due

Share Allotment A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c

(Share allotment money due on …. shares @Rs ... per share)

(ii) Receipt of allotment money

On the receipt of share allotment money the following journal entry is made:

Bank A/c Dr

To Share Allotment A/c.

(Receipt of the amount due on allotment of … shares)

Calls on shares

After the receipt of application and allotment money the money that remains unpaid can be called up by the company

as and when required. Thus a call is a demand made by the company asking the shareholders to remit the called up

amount on shares allotted to them.

The company may demand the remaining money in more than two instalments. The amount called after the allotment is

known as call money. There may be one or more calls, depending on the funds requirements of the company.

When only one call is made Call Money is Due :

Share First and Final Call A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c.

(Call money due on …. share @ Rs … per share).

Receipt of call money

The following journal entry is made for receipt of call money:

Bank A/c Dr

To Share First & Final call A/c

(call money due on … shares @ Rs ... per share received)

Note : If the company makes more than one call the same accounting

treatment is followed for recording the second call or third call money due and their receipt. The last call made is

termed as final call

FULL, UNDER AND OVER SUBSCRIPTION

A company decides to issue number of shares to raise capital. It invites public to buy these shares. Now there may be

three situations :

I. Full Subscription

Company may receive applications equal to the number of shares company has offered to people. It is called full

subscription. In case of full subscription the journal entries will be made as follows :

(a) On receipt of application money

Bank A/c Dr

To Share Application A/c

(Application money received for ......... shares)

(b) On allotment of shares

Share Application A/c Dr

2

Page 3: Accounting of Share Capital

To Share Capital A/c

(Application money of shares transferred to capital A/c on their allotment)

II. The company does not receive application equal to the number of shares offered for subscription, there may be two

situations :

(i) under subscription

(ii) over subscription

(i) Under subscription

The issue is said to have been under subscribed when the company receives applications for less number of shares than

offered to the public for subscription. In this case company is not to face any problem regarding allotment since every

applicant will be alloted all the shares applied for. But the company can proceed with allotment provided the

subscription for shares is at least equal to the minimum required number of shares termed as minimum subscription.

(ii) Over Subscription

When company receives applications for more number of shares than the number of shares offered to the public for

subscription it is a case of over subscription. A company cannot allot more shares than what it has offered. In case of

over subscription, company has the following options :

Option I

(i) Rejection of Excess Applications and Money Returned

The company may reject the applications for shares in excess of the shares offered for issue and a letter of rejection is

sent to such applicants. In this case the application money received from these applicants is refunded to them in full.

The journal entry made is as follows:

Share Application A/c Dr

To Bank A/c

(Application money on … shares refunded to the applicants)

(ii) Excess application money adjusted towards sums due on allotment.

Journal entry made is :

Shares Application A/c Dr

To Share Allotment A/c

(Excess application money adjusted towards sums due on allotment)

If the application money received on partially accepted applications is more than the amount required for adjustment

towards allotment money, the excess money is refunded. However, if the Articles of the company so authorise, the

directors may retain the excess money as calls in advance to be adjusted against the call/calls falling due later on and

the following entry is made :

Share Application A/c Dr

To Call-in-advance A/c

(The adjustment of excess share application money retained as call-in advance

in respect of ... shares).

Option II

Partial acceptance of Applications.

In some cases the company accepts the applications for subscription partially. It means that the company does not allot

the full number of shares applied for. For example if an applicant has applied for 5000 shares and is allotted only 2000

shares, then the applications is said to have been partially accepted. The company may evolve some formula of

accepting applications partially or making proportionate allotment/ the Prorata allotment which means that the

applicants are allotted shares proportionately. In such a case the company adjusts the excess share money received on

application towards share allotment money due on partially accepted applications. The journal entry recording the

adjustment of application money towards share allotment money, is as under :

Share Application A/c Dr

To Share Allotment A/c

respect of ... shares).

ISSUE OF SHARES AT PREMIUM

A company can issue its shares at their face value. When company issues its shares at their face value, the shares are

said to have been issued at par. Company can also issue its shares at more than or less than its face value i.e, at

‘Premium’ or at ‘Discount’ respectively. When shares are issued at premium or at discount an accounting treatment

different from shares issued at par is required. Let us discuss issue of shares at premium.

Issue of shares at premium

If a company issues its shares at a price more than its face value, the shares are said to have been issued at Premium.

The difference between the issue price and face value or nominal value is called ‘Premium’. If a share of Rs 10 is issued

at Rs 12, it is said to have been issued at a premium of Rs 2 per share. The money received as premium is transferred to

Securities Premium A/c. A company issues its shares at premium only when its financial position is very sound. It is a

capital gain to the company. The Premium money may be demanded by the company with application, allotment or with

calls. The Companies Act has laid down certain restrictions on the utilisation of the amount of premium. According to

Section 78 of this Act, the amount of premium can be utilised for :

(i) Issuing fully-paid bonus shares;

(ii) Writing off preliminary expenses, discount on issue of shares,

underwriting commission or expenses on issue;

(iii) Paying premium on redemplion of Preference shares or Debentures.

Further, the company may demand the total amount of premium in more than one instalment. In case the company

doesn’t specify the particular call with which Securities Premium is to be paid it is supposed to be called at the time of

Allotment.

Accounting Treatment of premium on Issue of Shares

Following is the accounting treatment of Premium on issue of shares :

(a) Securities premium collected with share Application money : If the Securities premium is collected on application and

the company has taken decision about the allotment of shares, the following journal entry is made :

Share Application A/c. Dr

To Securities Premium A/c

(The amount of Securities premium received on application of the allotted shares is transferred to Securities Premium

A/c)

(b) Premium collected with Allotment money or Calls.

If the company decides to demand the premium with share Allotment or/and share call money, the journal entry made

is:

Share Allotment A/c Dr

Or/and

Share Call A/c Dr

To Securities Premium A/c

Adjustment of share premium due on……shares @Rs…….per share.)

ISSUE OF SHARES AT DISCOUNT

When the issue price of share is less than the face value, shares are said to have been issued at discount. For example if

a company issues its shares of Rs 100 each at Rs. 90 each, the shares are said to be issued at discount. The amount of

discount is Rs 10 per share (i.e. Rs 100 – Rs 90). Discount on shares is a loss to the company.

4

Page 5: Accounting of Share Capital

Section 79 of Companies Act 1956 has laid down certain conditions subject to which a company can issue its shares at a

discount. These conditions are as follows :

(i) At least one year must have elapsed from the date of commencement of business;

(ii) Such shares are of the same class as had already been issued;

(iii) The company has sanctioned such issue by passing a resolution in its General meeting and the approval of the court

is obtained.

(iv) Discount should not be more than 10% of the face value of the share and if the company wants to give discount

more than 10%, it will have to obtain the sanction of the Central Government.

Accounting Treatment of Shares Issued at Discount

The amount of discount is generally adjusted towards share allotment money and the following journal entry is made:

Share Allotment A/c Dr

Discount on issue of shares A/c Dr

To Share Capital A/c

Allotment money due on….shares @Rs ……per share after allowing

discount @Rs ……….per share.

CALLS IN ADVANCE AND CALLS IN ARREARS

If a shareholder pays any amount to company before it is demanded, it is called Call-in-Advance. This amount is put in a

separate account known as Calls-in-Advance A/c. This amount is not shown as capital of the company, till such time the

company makes a demand from all the shareholders. Call-in-Advance A/c is shown on the liabilities side of the Balance

Sheet. For example if a company issued shares of Rs 10 on which it has already called Rs 5. Against the uncalled portion

of Rs 5 per share the company makes a call Rs 3 per share, the entry for call money due will be made only for Rs 3 per

share. Now suppose a shareholder pays Rs 5 per share including the uncalled amount of Rs 2 per share along with the

call money, it means he has paid Rs 2 per share in advance, which will be

credited to calls in Advance A/c. The company is required to pay interest on this amount @ 6% till the date of its

appropriation.

Accounting treatment

Following journal entry is made for calls-in-advance.

Bank A/c Dr

To Calls-in-Advance A/c

(Calls in advance received on…….shares @ Rs …….per share)

Appropriation of calls-in-Advance A/c say in the final call Journal entry will be :

Calls-in-Advance A/c Dr

To Share Final call A/c

(Calls in advance amount adjusted)

For interest given on Calls-in-Advance

Journal entry will be

Interest on calls-in-Advance A/c Dr

To Bank A/c

(Interest paid on the amount of Call-in-Advance

Page 6: Accounting of Share Capital

Calls in arrears

When the company sends notice to the shareholders to pay allotment and /or call money, it has to be paid by them

within the specified time period. If it is not paid by any one or more of the shareholders, the unpaid amount becomes

arrears due from them. Such arrears are transferred to an account termed as Calls-in-Arrears A/c. The company is

authorised to charge interest on calls-in-Arrears @ 5% p.a. for the intervening peroid. (The period between date of non-

receipt of the due amount and the date of actual receipt of the due amount).

Accounting Treatment

The following journal entry is made to record Calls-in-Arrears:

Calls-in-Arrears A/c Dr

Meaning of financial system

Financial system is a set of inter-related activities working together to achieve some

predetermined purpose or goal. It includes different markets, the institutions, instruments,

services and mechanisms which influence the generation of savings, investment capital

formation and growth.

Functions of financial system

· It serves as a link between savers and investors. It helps in utilizing the mobilized

savings of scattered savers in more efficient and effective manner.

· It channelised flow of saving into productive investment.

· It assists in the selection of the projects to be financed and also reviews the

performance of such projects periodically.

· It provides payment mechanism for exchange of goods and services.

Financial System and Economic Development

Financial system plays an important role in the economic development. The role of the

financial system is to gather or pool money from people and businesses that have more than

they need currently and transmit those funds to those who can use them for either

consumption or investment. The larger the flow of funds and the more efficient their allocation

is, the better the economic output and welfare of the economy and society.

A financial system provides services that are essential in a modern economy. The use of a

stable, widely accepted medium of exchange reduces the costs of transactions. It facilitates

trade and, therefore, specialization in production. Financial assets with attractive yield,

liquidity and risk characteristics encourage saving in financial form. By evaluating alternative

investments and monitoring the activities of borrowers, financial intermediaries increase the

efficiency of resource use. Access to a variety of financial instruments enables an economic

agent to pool, price and exchange risks in the markets. Trade, the efficient use of resources,

saving and risk taking are the cornerstones of a growing economy. In fact, the country could

make this feasible with the active support of the financial system. The financial system has

been identified as the most catalyzing agent for growth of the economy, making it one of the

key inputs of development.

In other words, the purpose of the financial system is to transfer funds from savers to the

borrowers in the most effective and efficient possible manner. The following are the ways of

transferring money:

· Direct Financing: In direct financing borrowers and savers exchange money and financial

instruments directly. Borrowers or deficit units issue financial claims (they are claims against

someone else’s money at a future date) on themselves and sell directly to savers or surplus

units for money. The savers hold the financial claims as interest bearing instruments and they

can sell it in financial markets. Upon agreed time or maturity date borrowers have to give back

the savers principle plus the agreed interest rate.

13

Page 14: Accounting of Share Capital

· Indirect Financing: A problem that arises from direct financing brought the usage of indirect

financing. Sometimes the savers or surplus units can’t wait to hold financial claims till maturity

date therefore they sell the financial claims to the financial intermediation and take their funds

from them to do whatever they please.

Financial market

A financial market is the place where financial assets are created or transferred. Financial

market is the place where all the financial transactions take place. Financial market includes

money market and capital market. Money market is the place where transactions take place

for short period and on the other hand in capital market transactions are made for a longer

15

Page 16: Accounting of Share Capital

Some of the important money market instruments are briefly discussed below:

1. Call/Notice Money

2. Treasury Bills

3. Term Money

4. Certificate of Deposit

5. Commercial Papers

Call/Notice-Money Market: Call/Notice money is used for a very short period. Call/notice money

is used for intraday transactions. Intervening holidays and/or Sunday are excluded for this

purpose. Thus money, borrowed on a day and repaid on the next working day is "Call Money".

When money is borrowed or lent for more than a day and up to 14 days, it is "Notice Money".

No collateral security is required to cover these transactions.

Term Money: Inter-bank market for deposits of maturity beyond 14 days is referred to as the

term money market. The entry restrictions are the same as those for Call/Notice Money except

that, as per existing regulations, the specified entities are not allowed to lend beyond 14 days.

Treasury Bills: Treasury Bills are short-term (up to one year) borrowing instruments of the

union government. It is an IOU of the Government. It is a promise by the Government to pay a

stated sum after expiry of the stated period from the date of issue. Treasury bills are issued for

a period of 14 days, 91 days, 182 days and 364 days. They are issued at a discount to the face

value, and on maturity the face value is paid to the holder. The rate of discount and the

corresponding issue price are determined at each auction.

Certificate of Deposits: Certificates of Deposit (CDs) is a negotiable money market instrument

and issued in dematerialized form or as a Usance Promissory Note, for funds deposited at a

bank or other eligible financial institution for a specified time period. Guidelines for issue of

CDs are presently governed by various directives issued by the Reserve Bank of India, as

amended from time to time. CDs can be issued by (i) scheduled commercial banks excluding

Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and Local Area Banks (LABs); and (ii) select all-India Financial

Institutions that have been permitted by RBI to raise short-term resources within the umbrella

16

Page 17: Accounting of Share Capital

limit fixed by RBI. Banks have the freedom to issue CDs depending on their requirements. An

FI may issue CDs within the overall umbrella limit fixed by RBI, i.e., issue of CD together with

other instruments viz., term money, term deposits, commercial papers and inter-corporate

deposits should not exceed 100 per cent of its net owned funds, as per the latest audited

balance sheet.

Commercial Paper: CP is a note in evidence of the debt obligation of the issuer. On issuing

commercial paper the debt obligation is transformed into an instrument. CP is thus an

unsecured promissory note privately placed with investors at a discount rate to face value

determined by market forces. CP is freely negotiable by endorsement and delivery. A company

shall be eligible to issue CP provided – (a) the tangible net worth of the company, as per the

latest audited balance sheet, is not less than Rs. 4 crore; 

(b) Company has been sanctioned working capital limit by bank/s or all-India financial

institution/s; and (c) the borrowal account of the company is classified as a Standard Asset by

the financing bank/s. The minimum maturity period of CP is 7 days. The minimum credit rating

shall be P-2 of CRISIL or such equivalent rating by other agencies

IMPORTANCE OF MONEY MARKET

If the money market is well developed and broad based in a country, it greatly helps in the

economic development of a country. The central bank can use its monetary policy effectively

and can bring desired changes in the economy for the industrial and commercial progress in

the country. The importance of money market is given, in brief, as under:

(i) Financing Industry: A well developed money market helps the industries to secure short

term loans for meeting their working capital requirements. It thus saves a number of industrial

units from becoming sick.

(ii) Financing trade: An outward and a well knit money market system play an important role in

financing the domestic as well as international trade. The traders can get short term finance

from banks by discounting bills of exchange. The acceptance houses and discount market help

in financing foreign trade.

(iii) Profitable investment: The money market helps the commercial banks to earn profit by

investing their surplus funds in the purchase of. Treasury bills and bills of exchange, these

short term credit instruments are not only safe but also highly liquid. The banks can easily

convert them into cash at a short notice.

(iv) Self sufficiency of banks: The money market is useful for the commercial banks

themselves. If the commercial banks are at any time in need of funds, they can meet their

requirements by recalling their old short term loans from the money market.

(v) Effective implementation of monetary policy: The well developed money market helps the

central bank in shaping and controlling the flow of money in the country. The central bank

mops up excess short term liquidity through the sale of treasury bills and injects liquidity by

purchase of treasury bills.

17

Page 18: Accounting of Share Capital

(vi) Encourages economic growth: If the money market is well organized, it safeguards the

liquidity and safety of financial asset This encourages the twin functions of economic growth,

savings and investments.

(vii) Help to government: The organized money market helps the government of a country to

borrow funds through the sale of Treasury bills at low rate of interest The government thus

would not go for deficit financing through the printing of notes and issuing of more money

which generally leads to rise in an increase in general prices.

(viii) Proper allocation of resources: In the money market, the demand for and supply of loan

able funds are brought at equilibrium The savings of the community are converted into

investment which leads to pro allocation of resources in the country

Capital market

The capital market is the place where transactions take place for more than a year. Capital

market instruments are equity shares, preference shares, convertible preference shares, non-

convertible preference shares etc. and in the debt segment debentures, zero coupon bonds,

deep discount bonds etc.

Capital market can also be classified as

1. Primary market

2. Secondary market

3. Derivative market

18

Primary market: The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the

issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain

funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue.

Features of primary markets are:

· The primary market is the market where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it

is also called the new issue market.

· In a primary market securities are issued by the company directly to investors.

· Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business or for

expanding or modernizing the existing business.

· The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation in the

economy.

· The financial assets sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.

Secondary market: Secondary market is the place where existing securities are bought and

sold. The secondary market for a variety of assets can vary from loans to stocks, from

fragmented to centralized, and from illiquid to very liquid. The major stock exchanges are the

most visible example of liquid secondary markets – in this case, for stocks of publicly traded

companies. Exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and the American

Stock Exchange provide a centralized, liquid secondary market for the investors who own

stocks that trade on those exchanges. Most bonds and structured products trade “over the

counter,” or by phoning the bond desk of one’s broker-dealer.

Derivative market: The derivatives markets are the financial markets for derivatives. The

market can be divided into exchange traded derivatives and over-the-counter derivatives. The

legal nature of these products is very different as well as the way they are traded, though

many market participants are active in both

Types of Derivatives: The most commonly used derivatives contracts are forwards, futures and options, which we shall discuss these in detail in the FMM-II later. Here we take a brief look at various derivatives contracts that have come to be used.

Forwards: A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at today’s pre-agreed price.

Futures: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price. Futures contracts are special types of forward contracts in the sense that the former are standardized exchange-traded contracts.

Options: Options are of two types - calls and puts. Calls give the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy a given quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price on or before a given future date. Puts give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a given quantity of the underlying asset at a given price on or before a given date.

Warrants: Options generally have lives of up to one year, the majority of options traded on options exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months. Longer-dated options are called warrants and are generally traded over-the-counter.

LEAPS: The acronym LEAPS means Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities. These are options having a maturity of up to three years.

19

Page 20: Accounting of Share Capital

Baskets: Basket options are options on portfolios of underlying assets. The underlying asset is usually a moving average or a basket of assets. Equity index options are a form of basket options.

Swaps: Swaps are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows in the future according to a prearranged formula. They can be regarded as portfolios of forward contracts. The two commonly used swaps are:

Interest rate swaps: These entail swapping only the interest related cash flows between the parties in the same currency and Currency swaps: These entail swapping both principal and interest between the parties, with the cash flows in one direction being in a different currency than those in the opposite direction.

Swaptions: Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will become operative at the

expiry of the options. Thus a swaption is an option on a forward swap. Rather than have

calls and puts, the swaptions market has receiver swaptions and payer swaptions. A

receiver swaption is an option to receive fixed and pay floating. A payer swaption is an

option to pay fixed and receive floating

Capital market instruments

Capital market instruments

 

DEEP DISCOUNT BONDS

 

A bond that sells at a significant discount from par value and has no coupon rate or lower coupon rate than the prevailing rates of fixed-income securities with a similar risk profile. They are designed to meet the long term funds requirements of the issuer and investors who are not looking for immediate return and can be sold with a long maturity of 25-30 years at a deep discount on the face value of debentures.

Ex-IDBI deep discount bonds for Rs 1 lac repayable after 25 years were sold at a discount price of Rs. 2,700.

 

EQUITY SHARES WITH DETACHABLE WARRANTS

 

20

Page 21: Accounting of Share Capital

A warrant is a security issued by company entitling the holder to buy a given number of shares of stock at a stipulated price during a specified period. These warrants are separately registered with the stock exchanges and traded separately. Warrants are frequently attached to bonds or preferred stock as a sweetener, allowing the issuer to pay lower interest rates or dividends.

Ex-Essar Gujarat, Ranbaxy, Reliance issue this type of instrument.

 

 

FULLY CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES WITH INTEREST

 

This is a debt instrument that is fully converted over a specified period into equity shares. The conversion can be in one or several phases. When the instrument is a pure debt instrument, interest is paid to the investor. After conversion, interest payments cease on the portion that is converted. If project finance is raised through an FCD issue, the investor can earn interest even when the project is under implementation. Once the project is operational, the investor can participate in the profits through share price appreciation and dividend payments

 

SWEAT EQUITY SHARES

 

The phrase `sweat equity' refers to equity shares given to the company's employees on favorable terms, in recognition of their work. Sweat equity usually takes the form of giving options to employees to buy shares of the company, so they become part owners and participate in the profits, apart from earning salary. This gives a boost to the sentiments of employees and motivates them to work harder towards the goals of the company.

The Companies Act defines `sweat equity shares' as equity shares issued by the company to employees or directors at a discount or for consideration other than cash for providing knowhow or making available rights in the nature of intellectual property rights or value additions, by whatever name called.

 

DISASTER BONDS

 

Also known as Catastrophe or CAT Bonds, Disaster Bond is a high-yield debt instrument that is usually insurance linked and meant to raise money in case of a catastrophe. It has a special condition that states that if the issuer (insurance or Reinsurance Company) suffers a loss from a particular pre-defined catastrophe, then the issuer's obligation to pay interest and/or repay the principal is either deferred or completely forgiven.

Ex- Mexico sold $290 million in catastrophe bonds, becoming the first country to use a World Bank program that passes the cost of natural disasters to investors. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Swiss Reinsurance Co. managed the bond sale, which will pay investors unless an earthquake or hurricane triggers a transfer of the funds to the Mexican government.

 

GLOBAL DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS/ AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

 

A negotiable certificate held in the bank of one country (depository) representing a specific number of shares of a stock traded on an exchange of another country. GDR facilitate trade of

21

Page 22: Accounting of Share Capital

shares, and are commonly used to invest in companies from developing or emerging markets. GDR prices are often close to values of related shares, but they are traded and settled independently of the underlying share.

Listing on a foreign stock exchange requires compliance with the policies of those stock exchanges. Many times, the policies of the foreign exchanges are much more stringent than the policies of domestic stock exchange. However a company may get listed on these stock exchanges indirectly – using ADRs and GDRs. If the depository receipt is traded in the United States of America (USA), it is called an American Depository Receipt, or an ADR. If the depository receipt is traded in a country other than USA, it is called a Global Depository Receipt, or a GDR.

But the ADRs and GDRs are an excellent means of investment for NRIs and foreign nationals wanting to invest in India. By buying these, they can invest directly in Indian companies without going through the hassle of understanding the rules and working of the India

 

 FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERTIBLE BONDS(FCCBs)

 

A convertible bond is a mix between a debt and equity instrument. It is a bond having regular coupon and principal payments, but these bonds also give the bondholder the option to convert the bond into stock. FCCB is issued in a currency different than the issuer's domestic currency.

The investors receive the safety of guaranteed payments on the bond and are also able to take advantage of any large price appreciation in the company's stock. Due to the equity side of the bond, which adds value, the coupon payments on the bond are lower for the company, thereby reducing its debt-financing costs.

 Advantages

Some companies, banks, governments, and other sovereign entities may decide to issue bonds in foreign currencies because, as it may appear to be more stable and predictable than their domestic currency

Gives issuers the ability to access investment capital available in foreign markets Companies can use the process to break into foreign markets The bond acts like both a debt and equity instrument. Like bonds it makes regular

coupon and principal payments, but these bonds also give the bondholder the option to convert the bond into stock

It is a low cost debt as the interest rates given to FCC Bonds are normally 30-50 percent lower than the market rate because of its equity component

Conversion of bonds into stocks takes place at a premium price to market price. Conversion price is fixed when the bond is issued. So, lower dilution of the company

stocks Advantages to investors

Safety of guaranteed payments on the bond Can take advantage of any large price appreciation in the company’s stock Redeemable at maturity if not converted Easily marketable as investors enjoys option of conversion in to equity if resulting to

capital appreciation Disadvantages

Exchange risk is more in FCCBs as interest on bond would be payable in foreign currency. Thus companies with low debt equity ratios, large forex earnings potential only opted for FCCBs

FCCBs means creation of more debt and a FOREX outgo in terms of interest which is in foreign exchange

22

Page 23: Accounting of Share Capital

In case of convertible bond the interest rate is low (around 3 to 4%) but there is exchange risk on interest as well as principal if the bonds are not converted in to equity

 

DERIVATIVES

 

A derivative is a financial instrument whose characteristics and value depend upon the characteristics and value of some underlying asset typically commodity, bond, equity, currency, index, event etc. Advanced investors sometimes purchase or sell derivatives to manage the risk associated with the underlying security, to protect against fluctuations in value, or to profit from periods of inactivity or decline. Derivatives are often leveraged, such that a small movement in the underlying value can cause a large difference in the value of the derivative.

 

Derivatives are usually broadly categorized by:1. The relationship between the underlying and the derivative (e.g. forward, option, swap)2. The type of underlying (e.g. equity derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives and credit

derivatives)3. The market in which they trade (e.g., exchange traded or over-the-counter)

 

Futures

 

A financial contract obligating the buyer to purchase an asset, (or the seller to sell an asset), such as a physical commodity or a financial instrument, at a predetermined future date and price. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset; they are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Some futures contracts may call for physical delivery of the asset, while others are settled in cash. The futures markets are characterized by the ability to use very high leverage relative to stock markets. Some of the most popular assets on which futures contracts are available are equity stocks, indices, commodities and currency.

 Options

 

A financial derivative that represents a contract sold by one party (option writer) to another party (option holder). The contract offers the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a security or other financial asset at an agreed-upon price (the strike price) during a certain period of time or on a specific date (exercise date). A call option gives the buyer, the right to buy the asset at a given price. This 'given price' is called 'strike price'. It should be noted that while the holder of the call option has a right to demand sale of asset from the seller, the seller has only the obligation and not the right. For eg: if the buyer wants to buy the asset, the seller has to sell it. He does not have a right. Similarly a 'put' option gives the buyer a right to sell the asset at the 'strike price' to the buyer. Here the buyer has the right to sell and the seller has the obligation to buy. So in any options contract, the right to exercise the option is vested with the buyer of the contract. The seller of the contract has only the obligation and no right. As the seller of the contract bears the obligation, he is paid a price called as 'premium'. Therefore the price that is paid for buying an option contract is called as premium.

The primary difference between options and futures is that options give the holder the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at expiration, while the holder of a futures contract is obligated to fulfill the terms of his/her contract.

GOLD   ETF

 

Gold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a financial instrument like a mutual fund whose value depends on the price of gold. In most cases, the price of one unit of a gold ETF approximately reflects the price of 1 gram of gold. As the price of gold rises, the price of the ETF is also expected to rise by the same amount. Gold exchange-traded funds are traded on the major stock exchanges including Zurich, Mumbai, London, Paris and New York There are also closed-end funds (CEF's) and exchange-traded notes (ETN's) that aim to track the gold price.

 

PARTICIPATORY NOTES

 

Also referred to as "P-Notes" Financial instruments used by investors or hedge funds that are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to invest in Indian securities. Indian-based brokerages buy India-based securities and then issue participatory notes to foreign investors. Any dividends or capital gains collected from the underlying securities go back to the investors. These are issued by FIIs to entities that want to invest in the Indian stock market but do not want to register themselves with the SEBI. RBI, which had sought a ban on PNs, believes that it is tough to establish the beneficial ownership or the identity of ultimate investors. Interest rate securities

 

The interest paid on the nominal amount of capital market securities (called the coupon rate) appears on the certificate received by the holder (the investor) of such a security.  This coupon rate is one of the parameters used to determine the consideration paid for the security when traded in the secondary market.  Most securities are issued at a fixed coupon rate such as the Eskom 168 (E168) security that is issued at a coupon rate of 11%.   This means that the registered holder of an Eskom E168 certificate will receive 11% interest per year (NACSA) on the nominal amount of the instrument.  The nominal amounts are in multiples of R1 million, and the interest on the E168 is paid biannually on 1 June and 1 December.  The holder of an E168 with a nominal value of R1 million will thus receive R55 000 on 1 June and R55 000 on 1 December.  Certain securities are, however, issued at a variable coupon rate, where the coupon rate is then linked to a well-known interest rate such as the prime overdraft rate or the 90-day BA rate.

Capital market securities are physical certificates and the issuer of the security keeps a register of owners.  This register is used by the borrower (issuer) to pay interest to the lender (owner of the security) on the interest payment dates indicated on the certificate.  When an instrument is sold to a new owner in the secondary market, the buyer is registered as the new owner on the settlement date of the transaction.  For administrative purposes the register of the issuer closes for registration of new owners, normally one month prior to the interest  payment date.   The date when the register closes is known as the last day to register (LDR).   This means that the person or company who is registered as the owner one month before the interest payment date (on LDR), will receive the interest on the payment date.

If a bond is sold and settled between the LDR and the interest payment date, the seller will receive the interest payment.  The buyer is then known to buy the instrument "ex interest" (without interest).  However, if a transaction takes place before the LDR, the buyer buys the instrument "cum interest" (including interest), because he will be registered as the owner before the register closes, and will receive the next interest payment.

 Zero-rated coupons

24

Page 25: Accounting of Share Capital

 

Long-dated (securities with long terms to maturity) zero-rated coupons are capital market instruments issued by borrowers of money.  These instruments do not earn interest on the capital amount invested by the lender, and are therefore issued and traded at a discount on the nominal value, similar to discount instruments in the money market such as BAs and treasury bills.

The market value (nominal value less discount) of zero (or nil)-rated coupon bonds depends on the yield that the investor (lender) expects on his investment.  The redemption amount, which is the only cash inflow for the investor, is equal to the nominal value of the bond, and is thus known to the investor.  Since the redemption date is also known, the investor can calculate the amount that he is willing to pay for the bond according to the yield (expressed in terms of interest rate) that he wants to earn on the investment.  This yield on zero-rated coupon bonds is normally linked to the market rate on long-term (capital market) investments.

 Asset-backed bonds

 

Where an asset exists which represents cash inflow stream such as a normal loan or investment, a bond can be issued to fund this asset.  The bond income is then derived or backed by the income stream of the asset.  The performance on the bond is then dependent on the asset performance.

  Zero-rated coupon bonds

 

A simple way of determining the trading value of these assets is by expressing the nominal value of the coupon as a percentage of the nominal value plus the yield that the investor wants to earn on his investment over the period,. 

 Interest rate bonds

 

To calculate the consideration that the buyer of a bond would pay to the seller, all the cash flows belonging to the buyer should be discounted back to the settlement date, at the rate at which the transaction is done.  The "all-in-price" of a bond is this present value that expresses the consideration that the buyer of a bond would pay to a seller, and takes into account the next interest payment that the buyer would receive if the transaction was cum interest, or the next interest payment that the seller would receive if the transaction was ex interest.

 

Secured Premium Notes

 

SPN is a secured debenture redeemable at premium issued along with a detachable warrant, redeemable after a notice period, say four to seven years. The warrants attached to SPN gives the holder the right to apply and get allotted equity shares; provided the SPN is fully paid. There is a lock-in period for SPN during which no interest will be paid for an invested amount. The SPN holder has an option to sell back the SPN to the company at par value after the lock in period. If the holder exercises this option, no interest/ premium will be paid on redemption. In case the SPN holder holds it further, the holder will be repaid the principal amount along with the additional amount of interest/ premium on redemption in installments as decided by the company. The conversion of detachable warrants into equity shares will have to be done within the time limit notified by the company.

Ex-TISCO issued warrants for the first time in India in the year 1992 to raise 1212 crore.

 

Significance of capital market

A sound and efficient capital market is extremely vital for the economic development of a

nation.

The following points clearly bring out the role and significance of capital market in India.

i)CAPITAL FORMATION:

 Capital market encourages capital formation as it ensures speedy economic development. The

process of capital formation includes collection of saving effective mobilisation of these

savings for productiveinvestment.

Thus three distinctive inter-related activities i.e. collection of savings, mobilisation of savings

and investment lead to capital formation in the country.

The volume of capital formation depend s on the efficiency and intensity with which these

activities are carried on.

ii) ECONOMIC GROWTH:

~ Capital market plays a vital role in the growth and development of an economy by

channelising funds in developmental and productive investments. ~ The financial

intermediaries channel funds into those investments that are more important for economic

development.

iii) INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT: 

~ Capital market promotes industrial development and motivates industrial entrepreneurship.

~ It provides cheap, adequate and diversified funds for industrial purposes such as expansion,

modernisation, technological upgradation, establishment of new units, etc.

~ It also provides services like provision of underwriting facilities, participation in equity

capital, credit-rating, consultancy services, etc.

vi) MODERNISATION AND REHABILITATION OF INDUSTRIES:

~ Capital markets also contribute towards modernisation and rehabilitation of industries.

~ Developmental financial institutions like IDBI, IFCI, ICICI, etc provide finance to industries to

adopt modern techniques and new upgraded machinery. They also participate in the equity

capital of industries.

v) RIVIVAL OF SICK UNITS:

~ Commercial and financial institutions provide adequate funds to viable sick unit to overcome

their industrial sickness. ~ Bank and FIs may also write off a part of the loan or re-schedule the

loan to offer payment flexibility to weak units.

vi) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE:

~ The financial intermediaries in the capital market stimulate industrial entrepreneurship by

26

Page 27: Accounting of Share Capital

providing technical and advisory services like preparation of feasibility reports, identifying

growth potential, and training entrepreneurs in project management. This promotes industrial

investment and leads to economic development.

vii) DEVELOPMENT OF BACKWARD AREAS:

~ Capital markets provide funds for projects in backward area and facilitate their economic

development. Long-term funds are also provided for development projects in backward / rural

areas.

viii) EMPLOYMENT GENERATION:

~ Capital markets provide Direct Employment in capital market related activities like stock

markets, banks and financial institutions. Indirect Employment is provided in all the sectors of

the economy through various funds disbursed for developmental projects.

ix) FOREIGN CAPITAL:

~ Capital markets make it possible to generate foreign capital by enabling Indian firms to raise

capital from overseas market through bonds and other securities. Such foreign exchange

funds have a great impact on the economic development of the nation. Moreover, foreign

direct investments (FDIs) also bring in foreign capital as well as foreign technology that leads

to greater economic development.

x) DEVELOPMENT OF STOCK MARKETS:

~ Capital markets lead to development of stock markets by encouraging investors to invest in

shares and debentures and to trade in stocks. FIIs are also allowed to deal in Indian stock

exchange.

Differences between money market and capital market

Money market is distinguished from capital market on the basis of the maturity period, credit

instruments and the institutions:

1. Maturity Period:

The money market deals in the lending and borrowing of short-term finance (i.e., for one year

or less), while the capital market deals in the lending and borrowing of long-term finance (i.e.,

for more than one year).

2. Credit Instruments:

The main credit instruments of the money market are call money, collateral loans,

acceptances, bills of exchange. On the other hand, the main instruments used in the capital

market are stocks, shares, debentures, bonds, securities of the government.

3. Nature of Credit Instruments:

The credit instruments dealt with in the capital market are more heterogeneous than those in

money market. Some homogeneity of credit instruments is needed for the operation of

financial markets. Too much diversity creates problems for the investors.

27

Page 28: Accounting of Share Capital

4. Institutions:

Important institutions operating in the' money market are central banks, commercial banks,

acceptance houses, nonbank financial institutions, bill brokers, etc. Important institutions of

the capital market are stock exchanges, commercial banks and nonbank institutions, such as

insurance companies, mortgage banks, building societies, etc.

5. Purpose of Loan:

The money market meets the short-term credit needs of business; it provides working capital

to the industrialists. The capital market, on the other hand, caters the long-term credit needs

of the industrialists and provides fixed capital to buy land, machinery, etc.

6. Risk:

The degree of risk is small in the money market. The risk is much greater in capital market.

The maturity of one year or less gives little time for a default to occur, so the risk is minimised.

Risk varies both in degree and nature throughout the capital market.

7. Basic Role:

The basic role of money market is that of liquidity adjustment. The basic role of capital market

is that of putting capital to work, preferably to long-term, secure and productive employment.

8. Relation with Central Bank:

The money market is closely and directly linked with central bank of the country. The capital

market feels central bank's influence, but mainly indirectly and through the money market.

9. Market Regulation:

In the money market, commercial banks are closely regulated. In the capital market, the

institutions are not much regulated.

Financial Services

Financial services can be defined as the products and services offered by institutions like

banks of various kinds for the facilitation of various financial transactions and other related

activities in the world of finance like loans, insurance, credit cards, investment opportunities

and money management as well as providing information on the stock market and other issues

like market trends

Financial services refer to services provided by the finance industry. The finance industry

encompasses a broad range of organizations that deal with the management of money. Among

these organizations are banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, consumer finance

companies, stock brokerages, investment funds and some government sponsored enterprises.

Functions of financial services

1.      Facilitating transactions (exchange of goods and services) in the economy.

2.      Mobilizing savings (for which the outlets would otherwise be much more limited).

28

Page 29: Accounting of Share Capital

3.      Allocating capital funds (notably to finance productive investment).

4.      Monitoring managers (so that the funds allocated will be spent as envisaged).

5.      Transforming risk (reducing it through aggregation and enabling it to be carried by those

more willing to bear it).

Characterstics and Features of Financial Services

i) Customer-Specific: Financial services are usually customer focused. The firms providing

these services, study the needs of their customers in detail before deciding their financial

strategy, giving due regard to costs, liquidity and maturity considerations. Financial services

firms continuously remain in touch with their customers, so that they can design products

which can cater to the specific needs of their customers. The providers of financial services

constantly carry out market surveys, so they can offer new products much ahead of need and

impending legislation. Newer technologies are being used to introduce innovative, customer

friendly products and services which clearly indicate that the concentration of the providers of

financial services is on generating firm/customer specific services.

ii) Intangibility: In a highly competitive global environment brand image is very crucial. Unless

the financial institutions providing financial products and services have good image, enjoying

the confidence of their clients, they may not be successful. Thus institutions have to focus on

the quality and innovativeness of their services to build up their credibility.

iii) Concomitant: Production of financial services and supply of these services have to be

concomitant. Both these functions i.e. production of new and innovative financial services and

supplying of these services are to be performed simultaneously.

iv) Tendency to Perish: Unlike any other service, financial services do tend to perish and hence

cannot be stored. They have to be supplied as required by the customers. Hence financial

institutions have to ensure a proper synchronization of demand and supply.

v) People based services: Marketing of financial services has to be people intensive and hence

it’s subjected to variability of performance or quality of service. The personnel in financial

services organisation need to be selected on the basis of their suitability and trained properly,

so that they can perform their activities efficiently and effectively.

vi) Market Dynamics: The market dynamics depends to a great extent, on socioeconomic

changes such as disposable income, standard of living and educational changes related to the

various classes of customers. Therefore financial services have to be constantly redefined and

refined taking into consideration the market dynamics. The institutions providing financial

services, while evolving new services could be proactive in visualising in advance what the

market wants, or being reactive to the needs and wants of their customers.

Scope of Financial Services

Financial services cover a wide range of activities. They can be broadly classified into two,

namely:

i.    Traditional. Activities

ii.    Modern activities.

i. Traditional Activities

Traditionally, the financial intermediaries have been rendering a wide range of services

encompassing both capital and money market activities. They can be grouped under two

heads, viz.

1. Fund based activities and

2. Non-fund based activities.

29

Page 30: Accounting of Share Capital

Fund based activities: The traditional services which come under fund based activities are the

following:

Underwriting or investment in shares, debentures, bonds, etc. of new issues (primary

market activities).

Dealing in secondary market activities.

Participating in money market instruments like commercial

Papers, certificate of deposits, treasury bills, discounting of bills etc.

Involving in equipment leasing, hire purchase, venture capital, seed capital,

Dealing in foreign exchange market activities. Non fund based activities

Non fund based activities

Financial intermediaries provide services on the basis of non-fund activities also. This can be

called ‘fee based’ activity. Today customers, whether individual or corporate, are not satisfied

with mere provisions of finance. They expect more from financial services companies. Hence a

wide variety of services, are being provided under this head. They include:

Managing the capital issue — i.e. management of pre-issue and post-issue activities

relating to the capital issue in accordance with the SEBI guidelines and thus enabling the

promoters to market their issue.

Making arrangements for the placement of capital and debt instruments with

investment institutions.

Arrangement of funds from financial institutions for the clients’ project cost or his

working capital requirements.

Assisting in the process of getting all Government and other clearances.

ii. Modern Activities

Beside the above traditional services, the financial intermediaries render innumerable services

in recent times. Most of them are in the nature of non-fund based activity. In view of the

importance, these activities have been in brief under the head ‘New financial products and

services’. However, some of the modern services provided by them are given in brief

hereunder.

Rendering project advisory services right from the preparation of the project report till

the raising of funds for starting the project with necessary Government approvals.

Planning for M&A and assisting for their smooth carry out.

Guiding corporate customers in capital restructuring.

Acting as trustees to the debenture holders.

Recommending suitable changes in the management structure and management style

with a view to achieving better results.

Structuring the financial collaborations / joint ventures by identifying suitable joint

venture partners and preparing joint venture agreements.

Rehabilitating and restructuring sick companies through appropriate scheme of

reconstruction and facilitating the implementation of the scheme.

Hedging of risks due to exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, and

political risk by using swaps and other derivative products.

Managing In- portfolio of large Public Sector Corporations.

Undertaking risk management services like insurance services, buy-hack options etc.

Advising the clients on the questions of selecting the best source of  funds taking into

consideration the quantum of funds required, their cost, lending period etc.

30

Page 31: Accounting of Share Capital

Guiding the clients in the minimization of the cost of debt and in the determination of

the optimum debt-equity mix.

Promoting credit rating agencies for the purpose of rating companies which want to go

public by the issue of debt instrument.

Undertaking services relating to the capital market, such as 1)Clearing services,

2)Registration and transfers, 3)Safe custody of securities, 4)Collection of income on securitie

Financial Institutions

Financial institutions include the banking and non-banking institutions. Financial institutions

are the intermediaries who facilitate smooth functioning of the financial system by making

investors and borrowers meet. They mobilize savings of the surplus units and allocate them in

productive activities promising a better rate of return. Financial institutions also provide

services to entities seeking advice on various issues ranging from restructuring to

diversification plans. They provide whole range of services to the entities who want to raise

funds from the markets elsewhere. Financial institutions act as financial intermediaries

because they act as middlemen between savers and borrowers.

Role of financial institutions

In transferring resource allocation from direct financing to indirect financing, financial

institutions provide the following five basic services:

· Currency Alteration: Buying financial claims denominated in one currency and selling financial

claims denominated in another currencies.

· Quantity Divisibility: Financial institutions are capable in producing a broad range of quantity

from one dollar to many millions, by gathering from different people.

· Liquidity: Easy to liquidate the instruments by buying direct financial claims with low liquidity

and issuing indirect financial claims with more liquidity.

· Maturity Flexibility: Creating financial claims with wide range of maturities so as to balance

the maturity of different instruments so as to reduce the gap between assets and liabilities.

31

Page 32: Accounting of Share Capital

· Credit Risk Diversification (Portfolio Investment): By purchasing a broad range of instruments,

financial institutions are able to diversify the risk.

.

Commercial banks

The main functions of commercial banks are shown below-

32

Page 33: Accounting of Share Capital

Primary functions: The primary functions of banks are as follows:

Acceptance of Deposits: The first important function of a bank is to accept deposits of

money from the public. Those people who can save a portion of their income can deposit it in

banks. For this purpose the banks maintain various types of accounts like fixed deposit

account, current deposit account and savings deposit account etc. through which they accept

deposits from the public. The banks are liable to return the amount to the depositors as and

when demanded by the depositors. Those who deposit their savings in various bank accounts

are known as accountholders or depositors. They are the customers of the bank.  The banks

pay interest on the deposited amount to the accountholders. Moreover, it ensures safety of

depositors’ funds. The main deposit schemes provided by commercial banks are as follows-

Fixed Deposit Account: A fixed deposit account is open for a long period of time

covering three to five years. The bank pays higher rate of interest on this account depending

on the period of time for which the account has been opened. The depositor cannot withdraw

the money before the expiry of the fixed period. In case of urgency, the depositor can

withdraw the money but he will lose in terms of interest. Fixed deposits are important for the

commercial banks because the funds can be invested for a long period of time. 

Current Deposit Account: Current deposit accounts are generally opened by business

organisations. The main advantage of this account is that the accountholder can withdraw

more money than the balance in his account. Therefore, a businessman can withdraw more

money in times of emergency. The excess amount is granted by bank as loan, known

as overdraft. The bank charges interest on the overdrawn amount. The banks do not pay any

interest on this account but charges a small amount as incidental charge.

Savings Deposit Account: A savings deposit account can be opened with a bank with

a small amount and the bank pays interest on the deposited amount. The depositor can go on

depositing any amount. However, there are certain restrictions on the withdrawal of money

from this account. Cheque book facility is provided with this account by the bank. The saving

deposit account holder can deposit cheques, drafts, share warrants etc. drawn in his favour

with the bank for collection. Collection of cheques, drafts etc. on behalf of the customer is an

agency function performed by banks, which we will discuss during the discussion of Secondary

functions of banks latter in this unit.

33

Page 34: Accounting of Share Capital

Recurring Deposit Account: In this account the depositor can deposit a fixed amount of money

every month. The period of deposit may vary from 1 to 10 years. At the end of the period the

deposited amount along with interest is paid back to the depositor

When a customer deposits money in a bank, it results in a debtor- creditor relationship

between the banker and the customer. The banker is the debtor and the customer is the

creditor. However, the demand for payment must be made by the creditor (customer) in

proper manner

Advancing Loans: The next important function of a bank is to provide loans and advances to

the customers. After satisfying itself about the creditworthiness of the borrower, the bank

provides loans to the borrower

The borrower may be an individual or a partnership firm or a company etc. Now- a- day

the banks provide home loan, car loan, personal loan, educational loan etc. according to the

needs of the individual borrowers. The banks also meet the short- term, medium- term and

long- term credit needs of business firms. The bank charges interest on the loan amount.

Generally, the interest charged by the banks on loans is more than the interest allowed by

them on deposits. The banks provide financial assistance to the borrowers in various forms,

like loans, cash credit, overdraft and discounting of bills of exchange.

Loan: Banks grant loans to the borrowers against the security of certain assets, which

may be fixed assets, share certificates or savings certificates (National Savings Certificate,

Fixed Deposit Receipt etc.). The loans may be for short- term i.e. covering one year or long-

term i.e. covering more than one year. A loan is granted to the borrower either in cash or by

credit to his account and he can withdraw the whole amount at a time or in instalments. But he

has to pay interest on the whole amount of loan till he repays the loan. 

Cash credit: It is an arrangement under which the borrower opens an account with the

bank. The loan amount is credited to his account and the borrower can withdraw from his

account. The main advantage of this arrangement is that the borrower can withdraw the

money according to his needs. The bank charges interest only on the amount withdrawn by the

borrower and not on the entire amount of loan.

Overdraft: Overdraft facility is available only to the current account holders of the

bank. Under this arrangement, the current account holders can withdraw more money than the

balanceavailable from his account. However, it is a temporary arrangement and the bank

charges interest on the overdrawn balance. The maximum amount that the account holder can

withdraw is fixed at the time of opening the account.

Discounting of bills: In trade and business, when credit transactions take place, it is a

common practice to draw bills of exchange by the creditor (seller) on the debtor (buyer) for the

amount due. The debtor is required to accept the bill and he will make the payment on the

maturity of the bill i.e. on due date. The creditor has to wait till the maturity of the bill to get

the payment. Now, what the creditor can do is that instead of waiting till the maturity of the

bill, he can sell the bill to the bank. The bank will make the payment to him after deducting a

certain percentage as commission. On maturity of the bill, the bank collects the amount from

the debtor. If the debtor fails to make payment, the bank can recover the amount from the

34

Page 35: Accounting of Share Capital

customer (Creditor). The main advantage of this facility is that the creditor gets money

immediately.

Credit Creation: Another function of banks is to create credit. Creation of credit is the

natural outcome of the process of advancing loans that we have discussed above. In

advancing loan to the borrower, the bank opens an account in his name and credits the loan

amount to that account instead of giving cash to him. The borrower can withdraw the money

from the account. Thus, in the process of advancing loans, the bank creates bank

deposits which results in increasing the money supply in the economy. This is known as credit

creation function of commercial banks.

Secondary Functions: The secondary functions of banks are as under:

Agency functions: The banks perform a number of functions on behalf of the

customers, known as agency functions. The various agency functions of banks are-

Collecting cheques, drafts, interest, rent, dividend etc. on behalf of the customer and

deposit the amount in the account of the customer;

Making payment for cheques, bills, insurance premium, rent etc. on the instructions of

the customers;

Making purchases and sales of shares, debentures, bonds etc. on behalf of the

customers;

Acting as trustee or executor for the customer;

Acting as financial guarantor on behalf of the importer in foreign trade;

Filing income- tax return on behalf of the customer.

General Utility Services: The banks provide general utility services not only to the customers

but also to the general public against a fee. Some of these services are –

Providing locker facility for safe keeping of valuables, important documents etc.;

Providing business information. The banks collect data regarding economic conditions,

financial conditions, trends in share market etc. and supply them to the customers;

Issuing travelers’ cheques to the travelers. The travelers are not required to carry cash

with them while traveling. They can easily encash the travelers’ cheques as and when required

with the banks with whom the issuing bank has banking arrangements;

Issuing letter of credit on behalf of the importer (buyer) in favour of the exporter

(seller). This function helps the parties in settling payments in international trade;

Issuing credit cards: This helps the customer to make purchases on credit from certain retail

shops and service firms. The payment will be made by the issuing bank from the concerned

customer’s account.

Price and Non price competition

Non-price competition refers to a situation where one of the following two things happens:

Buyers compete with each other to acquire a good on a basis other than price. Such

competition occurs in a situation of excess demand: at the given price, the demand for the

good exceeds the supply. The typical cause for excess demand is a price ceiling, though it

may also be caused by sticky prices or unforeseen dramatic changes in supply or demand.

Sellers compete with each other to sell a good on a basis other than price. Such

competition occurs in a situation of excess supply: at the given price, the supply for the

good exceeds the demand. The typical cause for excess supply is a price floor.

Non-price competition is a marketing strategy "in which one firm tries to distinguish

its product or service from competing products on the basis of attributes like design and

workmanship" The firm can also distinguish its product offering through quality of service,

extensive distribution, customer focus, or any other sustainable competitive advantage other

than price. It can be contrasted with price competition, which is where a company tries to

distinguish its product or service from competing products on the basis of low price. Non-price

competition typically involves promotional expenditures (such as advertising, selling staff, the

locations convenience, sales promotions, coupons, special orders, or free gifts), marketing

research, new product development, andbrand management costs.

Firms will engage in non-price competition, in spite of the additional costs involved, because it

is usually more profitable than selling for a lower price, and avoids the risk of a price war.

36

Page 37: Accounting of Share Capital

Although any company can use a non-price competition strategy, it is most common

among oligopolies and monopolistic competition, because firms can be extremely competitive

In a competitive market, various firms vie for the business of the same potential buyers. They

often do so by cutting costs whenever they can, which allows them to pass the savings on to

customers in the form of lower prices. However, trying to offer a lower price than a competitor

is not the only way of competing. Other methods can prove even more effective for firms,

though they can sometimes have downsides as well.

Quality

If consumers must choose between two products of the same price but they can see that one

is of a higher quality, they generally pick the product of higher quality. In this way, if a firm can

figure out how to produce an item at a cost comparable to what its competitor charges but

make it of higher quality, that firm may be able to steal the market from its competitor.

However, a problem with this approach is that it may take some time for consumers to realize

any difference in quality.

Perception and Branding

In some cases, little possibility of quality differentiation exists between two products. For

instance, in the United States, blue jeans have little actual quality variability from one producer

to another. For this reason, a number of producers compete by manufacturing a perception of

high quality with their brands. This allows some companies to charge higher prices for

seemingly identical products because consumers see value in the brand itself. However, the

long-term sustainability of such an approach may be difficult because, as such brand

advantages arise through consumer trends, consumer trends may also lead to their demise.

For instance, if consumers no longer see a clothing brand as fashionable, the manufacturer

may not be able to continue charging high prices for its products.

Product Design

In some cases, firms may compete by changing the design of their products to make them

more appealing without significantly changing production costs or quality levels. Such a

strategy can prove effective at stealing business from competitors, but it can also backfire,

because it can cause the company to alienate its existing consumers, who may be knowingly

choosing the existing design over other products with different designs specifically because it

appeals to their tastes.

Product Differentiation

Not all consumers are the same. Markets consist of men and women from diverse age, ethnic

and economic groups. Such groups tend to gravitate toward particular products as a bloc. For

this reason, firms should not expect a single product to appeal to every consumer in a market.

By offering a range of similar products geared toward different market sectors, firms can

expand their market base. However, such product differentiation can result in significantly

higher overhead costs for production.

Sales Structure

When two firms are competing with similar products, one may be able to enjoy more market

share and a deeper level of penetration due to a more effective and aggressive sales structure.

By engaging in direct sales, firms can appeal to prospective buyers who otherwise would not

feel compelled to buy due to advertising or other kinds of marketing. Multilevel marketing is

one way in which firms rapidly build their consumer base. However, by turning buyers into

sellers as well, such schemes may require significantly higher prices.

Examples:

Public services: non-price competition among buyers

37

Page 38: Accounting of Share Capital

Public services, many of which are offered for free, or at the same low cost, may suffer from

non-price competition. There may be long queues (waiting lines) for access to public services.

Here, people are paying for the free service by spending their time in line. However, the

economic value of this payment is not captured by anybody.

Limited quantity, low price: non-price competition among buyers

For commodities for which there is a market shortage, people may compete with each other to

get to the few places selling the commodity. Thus, people may start waiting outside the shop

selling the commodity hours before it opens (see queueing), or pay others to purchase the

good for them, or travel long distances looking for shops that still have the commodity.

Entry deterrence

In business, strategic entry deterrence refers to any action taken by an existing business in a

particular market that discourages potential entrants from entering into competition in that

market. Such actions, or barriers to entry, can include hostile takeovers, product

differentiation through heavy spending on new product development, capacity expansion to

achieve lower unit costs, and predatory pricing. These actions are sometimes deemed anti-

competitive and could be subject to various competition laws.

Limit pricing

In a particular market an existing firm may be producing a monopoly level of output, and

thereby making supernormal profits. This creates an incentive for new firms to enter the

market and attempt to capture some of these profits. One way the incumbent can deter entry

is to produce a higher quantity at a lower price than the monopoly level, a strategy known

as limit pricing. Not only will this reduce the profits being made, making it less attractive for

entrants, but it will also mean that the incumbent is meeting more of the market demand,

leaving any potential entrant with a much smaller space in the market. Limit pricing will only

be an optimal strategy if the smaller profits made by the firm are still greater than those risked

if a rival entered the market. It also requires commitment, for example the building of a

larger factory to produce the extra capacity, for it to be a credible deterrent.

Signalling

The incumbent firm has an advantage of being the “first mover” and can therefore act in a way

that it knows will influence the entrant’s decision. If we assume imperfect knowledge (i.e. the

incumbent firm’s costs are only known privately) the entrant can only make assumptions about

the incumbent’s cost structure through its price and output levels. Therefore, the incumbent

can use these as asignal to any potential entrant.

One way of using this advantage to deter entry is to charge a price less than

the monopoly level. If an entrant is considering entry in a number of similar markets, a low

cost incumbent can signal its efficiency to a potential entrant through lowering prices – thereby

discouraging what the entrant believes would be unprofitable entry. Signalling needs to be

credible to be effective – a low cost firm must be able to show that it can withstand lower

profits for an extended period of time, which it would not be able to if it had higher costs.

Pre emptive deterrence

An incumbent who is trying to strategically deter entry can do so by attempting to reduce the

entrant’s payoff if it were to enter the market. The expected payoffs are obviously dependent

38

Page 39: Accounting of Share Capital

on the amount of customers the entrant expects to have – therefore one way of deterring entry

is for the incumbent to “tie up” consumers.

The strategic creation of brand loyalty can be a barrier to entry – consumers will be less likely

to buy the new entrant’s product, as they have no experience of it. Entrants may be forced

into expensive price cuts simply to get people to try their product, which will obviously be a

deterrent to entry.

Similarly, if the incumbent has a large advertising budget, any new entrant will potentially

have to match this in order to raise awareness of their product and a foothold in the market – a

large sunk cost that will prevent some firms entering.

Predatory pricing

In a legal sense, a firm is often defined as engaging in predatory pricing if its price is below its

short-run marginal cost, often referred to as the Areeda-Turner Law and which forms the basis

of US antitrust cases. The rationale for this action is to drive the rival out of the market, and

then raise prices once monopoly position is reclaimed. This advertises to other potential

entrants that they will encounter the same aggressive response if they enter.

In the short run, it would be profit maximizing to acquiesce and share the market with the new

entrant. However, this may not be the firm’s best response in the long run. Once the

incumbent acquiesces to an entrant, it signals to other potential entrants that it is “weak” and

encourages other entrants. Thus the payoff to fighting the first entrant is also to discourage

future entrants by establishing its “hard” reputation.

Prisoners dilemma

The prisoner's dilemma is a example in game theory that shows why two individuals might

not cooperate, even if it appears that it is in their best interest to do so. 

In economics

Advertising is sometimes cited as a real life example of the prisoner’s dilemma.

When cigarette advertising was legal in the United States, competing cigarette manufacturers

had to decide how much money to spend on advertising. The effectiveness of Firm A’s

advertising was partially determined by the advertising conducted by Firm B. Likewise, the

profit derived from advertising for Firm B is affected by the advertising conducted by Firm A. If

both Firm A and Firm B chose to advertise during a given period the advertising cancels out,

receipts remain constant, and expenses increase due to the cost of advertising. Both firms

would benefit from a reduction in advertising. However, should Firm B choose not to advertise,

Firm A could benefit greatly by advertising. Nevertheless, the optimal amount of advertising by

one firm depends on how much advertising the other undertakes. As the best strategy is

dependent on what the other firm chooses there is no dominant strategy and this is not a

prisoner's dilemma but rather is an example of a stag hunt. The outcome is similar, though, in

that both firms would be better off were they to advertise less than in the equilibrium.

Sometimes cooperative behaviors do emerge in business situations. For instance, cigarette

manufacturers endorsed the creation of laws banning cigarette advertising, understanding that

this would reduce costs and increase profits across the industry. This analysis is likely to be

pertinent in many other business situations involving advertising.

Another example of the prisoner's dilemma in economics is competition-oriented

objectives.  When firms are aware of the activities of their competitors, they tend to pursue

policies that are designed to oust their competitors as opposed to maximizing the performance

39

Page 40: Accounting of Share Capital

of the firm. This approach impedes the firm from functioning at its maximum capacity because

it limits the scope of the strategies employed by the firms.

Without enforceable agreements, members of a cartel are also involved in a (multi-player)

prisoners' dilemma. 'Cooperating' typically means keeping prices at a pre-agreed minimum

level. 'Defecting' means selling under this minimum level, instantly stealing business (and

profits) from other cartel members. Anti-trust authorities want potential cartel members to

mutually defect, ensuring the lowest possible prices for consumers.

Capacity expansion

Many firms would like to expand their operations and capture more market share. But capacity expansion involves risks. If demand does not rise with capacity, the company may find itself burdened with overheads. At the same time, if capacity is not built in time, competitors may move ahead and grab market share. So, capacity expansion decisions have to be made carefully. One useful tool in this context is game theory. Companies can put themselves in the shoes of competitors and try to outguess them . At the same time, capacity expansion may sometimes be possible in increments. Companies can keep studying the business environment and learn before they decide to make more investments in capacity.

The risk associated with capacity expansion is largely due to uncertainty regarding the

following factors:

i) Future demand – quantity and price realisationii) Future prices of inputsiii) Technological advancesiv) Reactions of competitorsv) Impact on industry capacity

Market saturation

40

Page 41: Accounting of Share Capital

In economics, "market saturation" is a term used to describe a situation in which a product has

become diffused (distributed) within amarket; the actual level of saturation can depend

on consumer purchasing power ; as well as competition, prices, and technology.

For example, in advanced economies an extremely high percentage of households own

refrigerators (more than 97% of households). Hence, the diffusion rate is more than 97%, and

the market is said to be saturated; i.e. further growth of sales of refrigerators will occur

basically only as a result of population growth and in cases where one manufacturer is able to

gain market share at the expense of others.

To give another example, in advanced western households, and depending on the economy,

the number of automobiles per family is greater than 1. To the extent that further market

growth (i.e. growth of the demand for automobiles) is constrained (the main buyers already

own the product), the market is said to be basically saturated. Future sales depend on several

factors including the rate of obsolescence (at what age cars are replaced), population growth,

and societal changes such as the spread of multi-car families.

First mover advantage

First-mover advantage or FMA is the advantage gained by the initial occupant of a market

segment. This advantage may stem from the fact that the first entrant can gain control of

resources that followers may not be able to match. Sometimes the first mover is not able to

capitalise on its advantage, leaving the opportunity for another firm to gain second-mover

advantage.

FMA is the sometimes insurmountable advantage gained by the initial or "first-moving"

significant occupant of a new market segment. This advantage may stem from the fact that

the first entrant can gain control of resources that followers may not be able to match.

Originally made apparent by the ever booming Internet phenomenon, it has recently been on

the decline due to the recent economic situation. It is important to note that the first-mover

advantage refers to the first significant company to move into a market, not merely the first

company. In order for a company to try and become a first-mover that company needs to

figure out if the overall rewards outweigh the beginning/underlying risks. Sometimes first-

movers are rewarded with huge profit margins and a monopoly like status. Other times the

first-mover is not able to capitalize on its advantage, leaving the opportunity for other firms to

compete effectively and efficiently versus their earlier entrants. These individuals then gain a

second-mover advantage.

These are;

1. Technological leadership

2. Preemption of scarce assets

3. Switching costs and buyer choice under uncertainty

First mover Disadvantages

Although in some cases being a first mover can create an overwhelming advantage, in some

cases products that are first to market do not succeed. These products are victims of First

Mover Disadvantages. These disadvantages include: "free-rider affects, resolution of

technological or market uncertainty, shifts in technology or customer needs, and incumbent

inertia". Delving into each of these deeper we see:

1. Free-rider affects

2. Resolution of technological or market uncertainty

3. Shifts in technology or customer needs

4. Incumbent inertia

The Net Income theory and Net Operating Income theory stand in extreme forms. Traditional

approach stands in the midway between these two theories. This Traditional theory was

advocated by financial experts Ezta Solomon and Fred Weston. According to this theory a

proper and right combination of debt and equity will always lead to market value enhancement

of the firm. This approach accepts that the equity shareholders perceive financial risk and

expect premiums for the risks undertaken. This theory also states that after a level of debt in

the capital structure, the cost of equity capital increases.

Example: 

Let us consider an example where a company has 20% debt and 80% equity in its capital

structure. The cost of debt for the company is 9% and the cost of equity is 14%. According to

the traditional approach the overall cost of capital would be:

The Net Income theory and Net Operating Income theory stand in extreme forms. Traditional

approach stands in the midway between these two theories. This Traditional theory was

advocated by financial experts Ezta Solomon and Fred Weston. According to this theory a

proper and right combination of debt and equity will always lead to market value enhancement

of the firm. This approach accepts that the equity shareholders perceive financial risk and

expect premiums for the risks undertaken. This theory also states that after a level of debt in

the capital structure, the cost of equity capital increases.

WACC = (Weight of debt x cost of debt) + (Weight of equity x cost of equity) 

⇒ (20% x 9%) + (80% x 14%) 

42

Page 43: Accounting of Share Capital

⇒ 1.8 + 11.2 ⇒ 13% 

If the company wants to raise the debt portion in the capital structure to be 50%, the cost of

debt as well as equity would increase due to the increased risk of the company. Let us assume

that the cost of debt rises to 10% and the cost of equity to 15%. After this scenario, the overall

cost of capital would be:

WACC = (50% x 10%) + (50% x 15%) 

⇒ 5 + 7.5 ⇒ 12.5% 

In the above case, although the debt-equity ratio has increased, as well as their respective

costs, the overall cost of capital has not increased, but has decreased. The reason is that debt

involves lower cost and is a cheaper source of finance when compared to equity. The increase

in specific costs as well the debt-equity ratio has not offset the advantages involved in raising

capital by a cheaper source, namely debt.

Now, let us assume that the company raises its debt percentage to 70%, thereby pushing

down the equity portion to 30%. Due to the increased and over debt content in the capital

structure, the firm has acquired greater risk. Because of this fact, let us say that the cost of

debt rises to 15% and the cost of equity to 20%. In this scenario, the overall cost of capital

would be:

WACC = (70% x 15%) + (30% x 20%) 

⇒ 10.5 + 6 ⇒ 16.5% 

This decision has increased the company's overall cost of capital to 16.5%. 

The above example illustrates that using the cheaper source of funds, namely debt, does not

always lower the overall cost of capital. It provides advantages to some extent and beyond

that reasonable level, it increases the company's risk as well the overall cost of capital. These

factors must be considered by the company before raising finance via debt.

approach _____________________________________________________________

Net Income (NI) Approach

Net Income theory was introduced by David Durand. According to this approach, the capital

structure decision is relevant to the valuation of the firm. This means that a change in the

financial leverage will automatically lead to a corresponding change in the overall cost of

43

Page 44: Accounting of Share Capital

capital as well as the total value of the firm. According to NI approach, if the financial leverage

increases, the weighted average cost of capital decreases and the value of the firm and the

market price of the equity shares increases. Similarly, if the financial leverage decreases, the

weighted average cost of capital increases and the value of the firm and the market price of

the equity shares decreases. 

Assumptions of NI approach:

There are no taxes The cost of debt is less than the cost of equity. The use of debt does not change the risk perception of the investors 

44

Page 45: Accounting of Share Capital

______________________________________________________________

Net Operating Income Approach

Net Operating Income Approach was also suggested by Durand. This approach is of the

opposite view of Net Income approach. This approach suggests that the capital structure

decision of a firm is irrelevant and that any change in the leverage or debt will not result in a

45

Page 46: Accounting of Share Capital

change in the total value of the firm as well as the market price of its shares. This approach

also says that the overall cost of capital is independent of the degree of leverage. 

Features of NOI approach:

At all degrees of leverage (debt), the overall capitalization rate would remain constant. For a given level of Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT), the value of a firm would be equal to EBIT/overall capitalization rate.

The value of equity of a firm can be determined by subtracting the value of debt from

the total value of the firm. This can be denoted as follows: 

Value of Equity = Total value of the firm - Value of debt

Cost of equity increases with every increase in debt and the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) remains constant. When the debt content in the capital structure increases, it increases the risk of the firm as well as its shareholders. To compensate for the higher risk involved in investing in highly levered company, equity holders naturally expect higher returns which in turn increases the cost of equity capital.

Example: 

Let us assume that a firm has an EBIT level of $50,000, cost of debt 10%, the total value of

debt $200,000 and the WACC is 12.5%. Let us find out the total value of the firm and the cost

of equity capital (the equity capitalization rate).

Solution:

EBIT =         $50,000

WACC (overall capitalization rate) =         12.5%

Therefore, total market value of the firm = EBIT/Ko ⇒ $50,000/12.5% ⇒ $400,000

Total value of debt =$200,000 

Therefore, total value of equity = Total market value - Value of debt

            ⇒ $400,000 - $200,000 ⇒ $200,000 

Cost of equity capital = Earnings available to equity holders/Total market value of equity

shares 

46

Page 47: Accounting of Share Capital

Earnings available to equity holders = EBIT - Interest on debt

            ⇒ $50,000 - (10% on $200,000) ⇒ $30,000 

Therefore, cost of equity capital = $30,000/$200,000 ⇒ 15%

Verification of WACC:

10% x ($200,000/$400,000) + 15% x ($200,000/$400,000) ⇒ 12.5% 

Effect of change in Capital structure (to prove irrelevance) 

Let us now assume that the leverage increases from $200,000 to $300,000 in the firm's capital

structure. The firm also uses the proceeds to re-purchase its equity stock so that the market

value of the firm remains the same at $400,000.

EBIT = $50,000

WACC = 12.5% (overall capitalization rate)

Total market value of the firm = $50,000/12.5% ⇒ $400,000 

Less: Total market value of debt ⇒ $300,000

Therefore, market value of equity = $400,000 - $300,000 ⇒ $100,000

Equity-capitalization rate = ($50,000 - [10% on $300,000)/$100,000 ⇒ 20%

Overall cost of capital = 

10% x $300,000/$400,000 + 20% x $100,000/$400,000 ⇒ 12.5%

The above example proves that a change in the leverage does not affect the total value of the

firm, the market price of the shares as well as the overall cost of capital.

Modigliani Millar Approach

47

Page 48: Accounting of Share Capital

Modigliani Millar approach, popularly known as the MM approach is similar to the Net operating

income approach. The MM approach favors the Net operating income approach and agrees

with the fact that the cost of capital is independent of the degree of leverage and at any mix of

debt-equity proportions. The significance of this MM approach is that it provides operational or

behavioral justification for constant cost of capital at any degree of leverage. Whereas, the net

operating income approach does not provide operational justification for independence of the

company's cost of capital. 

Basic Propositions of MM approach:

At any degree of leverage, the company's overall cost of capital (ko) and the Value of the firm (V) remains constant. This means that it is independent of the capital structure. The total value can be obtained by capitalizing the operating earnings stream that is expected in future, discounted at an appropriate discount rate suitable for the risk undertaken.

The cost of capital (ke) equals the capitalization rate of a pure equity stream and a premium for financial risk. This is equal to the difference between the pure equity capitalization rate and ki times the debt-equity ratio.

The minimum cut-off rate for the purpose of capital investments is fully independent of the way in which a project is financed.

Assumptions of MM approach:

Capital markets are perfect. All investors have the same expectation of the company's net operating income for the

purpose of evaluating the value of the firm. Within similar operating environments, the business risk is equal among all firms. 100% dividend payout ratio. An assumption of "no taxes" was there earlier, which has been removed.

Arbitrage process

Arbitrage process is the operational justification for the Modigliani-Miller hypothesis. Arbitrage

is the process of purchasing a security in a market where the price is low and selling it in a

market where the price is higher. This results in restoration of equilibrium in the market price

of a security asset. This process is a balancing operation which implies that a security cannot

sell at different prices. The MM hypothesis states that the total value of homogeneous firms

that differ only in leverage will not be different due to the arbitrage operation. Generally,

investors will buy the shares of the firm that's price is lower and sell the shares of the firm

that's price is higher. This process or this behavior of the investors will have the effect of

increasing the price of the shares that is being purchased and decreasing the price of the

shares that is being sold. This process will continue till the market prices of these two firms

48

Page 49: Accounting of Share Capital

become equal or identical. Thus the arbitrage process drives the value of two homogeneous

companies to equality that differs only in leverage.

Limitations of MM hypothesis:

Investors would find the personal leverage inconvenient. The risk perception of corporate and personal leverage may be different. Arbitrage process cannot be smooth due the institutional restrictions. Arbitrage process would also be affected by the transaction costs. The corporate leverage and personal leverage are not perfect substitutes. Corporate taxes do exist. However, the assumption of "no taxes" has been removed

later.

Ratio analysis

Gross profit Rs. 80,000

Page 83: Accounting of Share Capital

Accounts payable velocity 90 days

Current assets Rs. 1,50,000

Bills receivable 20,000

Bills payable 5,000

Fixed assets turnover ratio 8 times

Prepare balance sheet with as many details as possible.

Solution:

A)Working Notes

I.i. Cost of goods sold = Gross profit 3 times

= 80,000 3 = Rs. 2,40,000

2) Sales = Cost of goods sold + Gross profit

= Rs. 2,40,000 + Rs. 80,000 = Rs. 3,20,000

3) Average stock:

 4).Closing Stock:

or Closing stock = Average stock 2 – Opening stock = 40,000 2 – Rs. 36,000 = Rs. 80,000 – Rs. 36,000 = Rs. 44,000

5)Accounts receivable:

  Note: All sales have been assumed to be credit sales.6)Debtors = Accounts receivable – Bills receivable = Rs. 64,000 – Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 44,000

7)Accounts payable:

83

Page 84: Accounting of Share Capital

   8)Creditors = Accounts payable – Bills receivable

= Rs. 62,000 – Rs. 5,000 = Rs. 57,0009)Fixed assets

I.

  Note: For the calculation of fixed assets turnover ratio it is cost of goods sold (not sales) which is taken into consideration.

Note: In the absence of information average debtors and average creditors have been taken as debtors and creditors at the end respectively.

From the following particulars, prepare the Balance Sheet of X Ltd., which has only one class of share capital:

i) Sales for the year Rs. 20,00,000.

ii) G.P. ratio – 25%.

iii) Current assets ratio – 1.50.

iv) Quick assets (cash and debtors) ratio 1.25.

v) Stock turnover ratio – 15.

vi) Debts collection period – 1 ½ months.

84

Page 85: Accounting of Share Capital

vii) Turnover to fixed assets 1.5.

vii) Ratio of reserves to share capital – 0.33 (i.e. 1/3).

ix) Fixed assets to net worth 0.83 (i.e. 5/6).

(The term turnover refers to cost of sales and the term stock to closing stock).

Solution:I. Working Notes:

(1)    Closing Stock:       Sales    Rs. 20,00,000

    Less: Gross Profit 25% on sales    Rs. 5,00,000    Cost of goods sold    Rs. 15,00,000   �

 

 As the term stock relates to closing stock, Rs. 1,00,000 is the closing stock

(2)    Fixed assets:

        As the term turnover refers to cost of sales

(3)Share capital and reserves:

  As the ratio of reserves to share capital is 1:3 out of net worth Rs. 3,00,000 are reserves and the rest share capital (i.e., Rs. 9,00,000).

(4)Book Debts:

              ( 5)Current Liabilities:

Current assets ratio = 1.5

85

Page 86: Accounting of Share Capital

Quick assets ratio = 1.25

Stock to current liabilities 0.25

Current liabilities will be 4 times the stock = Rs. 4,00,000.

(6)Cash:

Current assets ratio = 1.5.

As the current liabilities are Rs. 4,00,000, the total of current assets would be Rs. 6,00,000.

Cash = Current assets – (Stock and debtors)

= Rs. 6,00,000 – (1,00,000 + 2,50,000)

= Rs. 2,50,000
