Literature of review on Capital Structure
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
23/93
capital structure is a mix of debt and equity capital maintained by a firm. Capital
structure is also referred as financial structure of a firm. the capital structure of a firm is
very important since it related to the ability of the firm to meet the needs of its
stakeholders. Modigliani and miller (1958) were the first ones to landmark the topic of
capital structure and they argued that capital structure was irrelevant in determining the
firms value and its future performance. on the other hand, lubatkin and chatterjee (1994)
as well as many other studies have proved that there exists a relationship between capital
structure and firm value. modigliani and miller (1963) showed that their model is no more
effective if tax was taken into consideration since tax subsidies on debt interest payments
will cause a rise in firm value when equity is traded for debt.
in more recent literatures, authors have showed that they are less interested on how capital
structure affects the firm value. Instead of the firm. modigliani and miller (1963) argued
that the capital structure of a firm should compose entirely of debt due to tax deductions
on interest payments. However, brigham and gapenski (1996) said that, in theory, the
modigliani-miller (mm) model is valid. But, in practice, bankruptcy costs exist and these
costs are directly proportional to the debt level of the firm. hence, an increase in debt level
causes an increase in bankruptcy costs. therefore, they argue that that an optimal capital
structure can only be attained if the tax sheltering benefits provided an increase in debtlevel is equal to the bankruptcy costs. in this case, managers of the firms should be able to
identify when this optimal capital structure is attained and try to maintain it at the same
level. this is the only way that the financing costs and the weighted average cost of capital
(wacc) are minimized thereby increasing firm value and corporate performance.

Broadly the data were collected for the report on the project work has been
through the primary and secondary sources.
The primary data is collected by various approaches so as to give a precise,
accurate, realistic and relevant data. The main goal in the mind while gathering
primary data was investigation and observation. The ends were thus achieved by a
direct approach and personal observation from the officials of the company. The
other staff members and the employees were interviewed for the sake of
maintaining reasonable standard of accuracy.The secondary data as it has always
been important for the completion of any report provides a reliable, suitable
equate and specific knowledge. The annual reports, the fixed asset register and the
Capex register provided the knowledge and information regarding the relevant
subjects.
The valuable cooperation and continued support extended by all associated
personnels, head of the department, division and staff members contributed a lot to
fulfil the requirement in the collection of data in order to present a complete report on
the project work.
Capital Structure: Theory and Analysis
Capital Structure
Financing decisions involve raising funds for the firm. It is concerned with formulation
and designing of capital structure or leverage. The most crucial decision of any company
is involved in the formulation of its appropriate capital structure. The best design or
structure of the capital of a company helps the management to achieve its ultimate
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure

objectives of minimising overall cost of capital, maximising profitability and also
maximising the value of the firm.
The capital structure decision of a firm is concerned with the determination of debt equity
composition. Capital structure ordinarily implies the proportion of debt and equity in the
total capital of a company. The term capitalmay be defined as the long term funds of the
firm. Capital is the aggregation of the items appearing on the left hand side of the balance
sheet minus current liabilities.
In other words capital may be expressed as follows:
Capital = Total Assets Current Liabilities.
Further, capital of a company may broadly be categorised into equity and debt. The total
capital structure of a firm is represented in the following figure:
-

Established companies generally have track record of their profit earning capacity, which
helps them to create their creditworthiness. The lenders feel safe to invest their funds in
such companies. Thus, there is ample scope for this type of companies to collect debt. But
a company cannot freely i.e. without having any limit. The company must have to chalk
out a plan to collect a debt in such a way that the acceptance of debt becomes beneficial
for the company in terms of increase in EPS, profitability and value of the firm.
If the cost of capital is greater than the return, it will have an adverse effect on companys
profitability, value of the firm and its EPS. Similarly, if company is unable to repay the
debt within the scheduled period it will affect the goodwill of the company in the credit
market and consequently may create problems in future for collecting further debt. Other
factors remaining constant, the company should select its appropriate capital structure with
due consideration.
Capital structure involves a choice between risk and expected return. The optimal capital
structure strikes the balance between these risks and returns and thus examines the price of
the stock.
Significant variations with regard to capital structure can easily be noticed among
industries and firms within the same industry. So it is difficult to generate the model
capital structure for all business undertakings. The following is an attempt to consolidate
the literature on various methods to suggested by researchers in arriving at optimal capital
structure.
Notations used:
V = value of firm
FCF = free cash flow
WACC = weighted average cost of capital
rs and rd are costs of stock and debt
re and wd are percentages of the firm that are financed with stock and debt.

Operating and Financial Leverages
The term leverage refers to the ability of a firm in employing long term funds having a
fixed cost, to enhance returns to the owners. In other words leverage is the employment of
fixed assets or funds for which a firm has to meet fixed costs or fixed rate of interest
obligation irrespective of the level of activities attained or the level of operating profit
earned.
Higher the leverage, higher the profits and vice versa. But a higher leverage obviously
implies higher outside borrowings and hence riskier if the business activity of the firm
suddenly takes a dip. But a low leverage does not necessarily indicate prudent financial
management, as the firm might be incurring an opportunity cost for not having borrowed
funds at a fixed cost to earn higher profits.
Operating Leverage
Operating leverage is concerned with the operation of any firm. The cost structure of any
firm gives rise to operating leverage because of the existence of fixed nature of costs. This
leverage relates to the sales and profit variations.
Operating
Leverage =
Contributio
n
EBIT
Contribution = Sales Variable Costs
EBIT = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.

7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure

Disadvantages of Operating Leverages
The reliability of operating ratios rests to a large extent on the correctness of the
fixed costs identified with a product. Faulty apportionment would distort the
usefulness of the ratio.
The published accounts does not give details of the fixed cost incurred and the
contribution from each product and for an outsider it is difficult to calculate the
firms operating leverage.
Firms cost structure and nature of the firms business affects operating leverage. A
degree change in sales volume results in more than proportionate change (+/-) in
operating (or loss) can be observed by use of operating leverage.
Financial Leverage
This ratio indicates the effects on earnings by rise of fixed cost funds. It refers to use the
use of debt in the capital structure. Financial leverage arises when a firm deploys debt
funds with fixed charge. The ratio is calculated with the following:
Earnings before interest and tax / Earnings after interest The higher the ratio,
the lower the cushion for paying interest on borrowings. A low ratio indicates a
low interest outflow and consequently lower borrowings. A high ratio is risky and
constitutes a strain on profits. This ratio is considered along with the operating
ratio, gives a fairly and accurate idea about the firms earnings, its fixed costs and
the interest expenses on long term borrowings.
Earnings per Share Higher financial leverage leads to higherEBITresulting in
higher EPS, if other things remain constant. Financial leverage affects the
variability and expected level ofEPS. The more debt the firm employs the higher
its financial leverage. Financial leverage generally raises expectedEPS, but it also
increases the riskiness of securities as the debt / asset ratio rises.

-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
33/93
L has much wider ROE swings because of fixed interest charges. Higher
expected return is accompanied by higher risk.
In a stand-alone risk sense, Firm Ls stockholders see much more risk than Firm Us.
U and L: sROIC = 2.12%.
U: sROE = 2.12%.
L: sROE = 4.24%.
Ls financial risk is sROE - sROIC = 4.24% - 2.12% = 2.12%. (Us is zero.)
For leverage to be positive (increase expected ROE), BEP must be > rd.
If rd > BEP, the cost of leveraging will be higher than the inherent profitability
of the assets, so the use of financial leverage will depress net income and ROE.
In the example, E(BEP) = 15% while interest rate = 12%, so leveraging works.
Choosing the Optimal Capital Structure for Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd.
Based on the ratio analysis done above it can be concluded that Ranbaxy is an unleveared
firm with very less debt component in its capital structure. The company is in a position to
increase its debt component by resorting to external debt financing. However it should be
kept in mind that, there could be two opposite effects if debt is increased in the capita
structure. The first effect may be an overall reduction in the cost of capital as the
proportion of debt increases in the capital structure due to low cost of debt. On the other
hand, because of fixed contractual obligation the financial risk of the company increases.
Thus, it is said that the optimum capital structure implies a ratio of debt and equity at
which weighted average cost of capital would be least and the market value of the firm
would be highest.
Keeping the above thought in mind I have tried to compute what would be the optimal
capital structure for Ranbaxy

The Cost of Equity at Different Levels of Debt: Hamadas Equation
MM theory implies that beta changes with leverage.
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure

bU is the beta of a firm when it has no debt (the unlevered beta)
bL = bU [1 + (1 - T)(D/S)]
The Cost of Equity for wd = 20%
Use Hamadas equation to find beta:
bL
= bU
[1 + (1 - T)(D/S)]
= 1.0 [1 + (1-0.35) (20% / 80%) ]
= 1.16
Use CAPM to find the cost of equity:
rs = rRF + bL (RPM)

Wealth of Shareholders
Value of the equity declines as more debt is issued, because debt is used to repurchase
stock.
But total wealth of shareholders is value of stock after the recap plus the cash received in
repurchase, and this total goes up (It is equal to Corporate Value on earlier slide).
Stock Price for wd = 20%
The firm issues debt, which changes its WACC, which changes value.
The firm then uses debt proceeds to repurchase stock.
Stock price changes after debt is issued, but does not change during actual repurchase (or
arbitrage is possible).
The stock price after debt is issued but before stock is repurchased reflects
shareholder wealth:
S, value of stock
Cash paid in repurchase.
D0 and n0 are debt and outstanding shares before recap.
D - D0 is equal to cash that will be used to repurchase stock.

Modigliani and Miller Theory (Modern View)
The traditional view of capital structure explained in weighted average cost of capital is
rejected by the proponentsModigliani and Miller (MM) (1958). According to them, under
competitive conditions and perfect markets, the choice between equity financing and
borrowing does not affects a firms market value because the individual investor can alter
investment to any mix of debt and equity the investor desires.
Assumptions of MM Theory
TheMM Theory is based on the following assumptions:
Perfect capital markets exist where individuals and companies can borrow
unlimited amounts at the same rate of interest.
There are no taxes or transaction costs.
The firms investment schedule and cash flows are assumed constant and
perpetual.
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
41/93
Firms exist with the same business or systematic risk at different levels of gearing.
The stock markets are perfectly competitive.
Investors are rational and except other investors to behave rationally.
MM Theory: No Taxation
The debt is less expensive than equity. An increase in debt will increase the
required rate of return on equity. With the increase in the levels of debt, there will be
higher level of interest payments affecting the cash flow of the company. Then equityshareholders will demand for more returns. The increase in cost of equity is just enough to
offset the benefit of low cost debt, and consequently average cost of capital is constant for
all levels of leverage as shown in Figure 1.

Ve = Market value of equity in a geared company.
Vg = Ve + D
Ku = Cost of equity in an ungeared company.
Kg = Cost of equity in a geared company.
Kd = Cost of Debt.
M M Theory: Proposition I
The market value of any firm is independent of its capital structure, changing the
gearing ratio cannot have any effect on the companys annual cash flow. The assets in
which the company has invested and not how those assets are financed determine the
market value. Thus, the market value of a firm is unaffected by its financing decisions,
its capital structure, or its debt-equity ratio.
In simple words, M & M theory views the value of the company as a whole pie. The
size of the pie does not depend on how it is sliced i.e. the firms capital structure but
rather the size of the pie pan i.e. the firms present value based on its future cash flows
and its asset base.
The value of the geared company is as follows:
Vg = Vu
Vg = Profit before interest
WACC
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
43/93
Vg = Vu = Earnings in ungeared company
Ku
WACC is independent of the debt / equity ratio and equal to the cost of capital which thefirm would have with no gearing in its capital structure.
Proof by example -
Consider holding 1% of stock in an all-equity firm with value VU.
Then your wealth is 0.01VU.
Also, you receive a cash flow of 0.01CF t every period.
Alternatively, consider holding 1% equity and 1% debt in levered
version of the same firm with value Vg=E+D.
Your wealth then is [0.01E+0.01D] = 0.01Vg.
Cash Flows each period? [0.01(Int)+0.01(CF t-Int)]=0.01CFt.
As the inherent risk of the firm is the same, then the discounted
value of the cash flows must be the same, i.e., Vg= VU.

MM Theory: Proposition I
M M Theory: Proposition II
The rate of return required by shareholders increases linearly as the debt / equity ratio isincreased i.e. the cost of equity rises exactly in line with any increase in gearing to
precisely offset any benefits conferred by the use of apparently cheap debt.
MMwent on arguing that the expected return on the equity of a geared company is equal
to the return on a pure equity stream plus a risk premium dependent on the level of capital
structure.
The premium for financial risk can be calculated as debt / equity ratio multiplied by thedifference between the cost of equity for ungeared company and risk free cost of debt.
The cost of equity depends on the following three variables:
1. The required rate of return on the firm (K u).
2. The required rate of return on the firms debt (K d).
3. The firms debt/equity ratio (D/E)
MM proposition IIcan be summed up in following points:
Equity holders require a premium over what everyone is paid if the firm has debt.
The premiumDOESdepend upon the firms financing mix.
The wealth of equity holders, however, is unaffected.
Any increase in leverage raises both the risk of equity and its required return.

MM Theory: Proposition II
M M Theory: Proposition III
MM theorys third proposition asserts that the cut-off rate for new investment will in all
cases be average cost of capital and will be un affected by the type of security used to
finance the investments.
M M Theory: Arbitrage
The cost of equity will rise by an amount just sufficient to offset any possible saving or
loss. The lenders determine the supply of debt. The optimal level is simply the maximum
amount of debt which lenders are prepared to subscribe in any given circumstances e.g.
level of inflation, rate of economic growth, level of profits etc. the investors will exercise
their own leverage by mixing their own portfolio with debt and equity. The investors call
this the arbitrage process. Under these conditions of investment the average cost of capital
is constant.
If two different firms with same level of business risk but different levels of gearing soldfor different values, then shareholders would move from over valued firm to the under

value firm and adjust their level of borrowing through the market to maintain financial risk
at the same level. The shareholders would increase their income through this method while
maintaining their net investment and risk at the same level. This process of arbitrage
would drive the price of the two firms to a common equilibrium total value.
The word arbitrage is a technical term referring to a situation where two identical
commodities are selling in the same market for different prices, then the market will reach
equilibrium by the dealers start at the lower price and sell at the higher price, thereby
making profit. The increase in demand will force up the price of the lower priced goods
and increase in supply will force down the price of the high priced commodities.
The arbitrage inMM theory shows that the investors will move quickly to take advantage
and will make profit in an equilibrium capital market, then this would represent an
arbitrage opportunity.
MM Theory: Corporate Taxation
In above discussion,MM theory has ignored the tax relief on debt interest. MMhas further
modified their theory by considering tax relief available to a geared company when the
debt component exists in the capital structure. The tax burden on the company will lessen
to the extent of relief available on interest payable on the debt, which makes the cost of
debt cheaper, which reduces the weighted average capital of the lower where capital
structure of a company has debt component.
Consider a firm with no debt (i.e. all equity or unlevered) with a value of V u.
Suppose firm changes capital structure by issuing debt and retiring some equity. The f irm
will realize gain since interest payments on debt are tax-deductible, so tax liability willdecline!

Under the assumption of tax relief being available on debt interest, the total market value
of the company is increasing function of the level of gearing.
MM theory cost of equity formula for a geared company:
Kg = Ku + (1 T) (Ku Kd)
MM theory assumes that the value of the geared company will always be greater than an
ungeared company with similar business risk but only by the amount of debt associated
tax saving of the geared company. Value of geared company:
Vg= Vu + DT
When corporation taxation is introduced, the tax deductibility of debt interest creates value
for shareholders via the tax shield, but this is a wealth transfer from taxpayers. The value
of a geared company equals the value of an equivalent ungeared companys shareholders
is less than that in the all equity company, reflecting the tax benefits. A further effect of
corporate taxation is to lowerWACC, which falls continuously as gearing increases.
MM Theory: Personal Taxation
MM theory considered only corporate taxes. It was left to a subsequent analysis by Miller
(1977) to include the effects of personal as well as corporate taxes. He argued that the
existence of tax relief on debt interest but not on equity dividends would make debt capital
more attractive than equity capital to companies. The market for debt capital under the
laws of supply and demand, companies would have to offer a higher return on debt in
order to attract greater supply of debt. When the company offers after personal tax return
on debt at least as equal to the after personal tax return on equity, the equity supply will
switch over to supply debt to the company. It is assumed that, from the angle of the
company, it will be indifferent between raising debt or equity as the effective cost of each
will be the same and there is no advantage to gearing.

Financial Distress and Capital Structure
The assumption is that when firm has very high level of borrowing they are more likely to
run into the cost of final distress and cost of bankruptcy. When the leverage of the firm is
extremely high then it is very likely that at some stage it will not be able to make annual
interest payments and loan repayments. Dividends for shareholders can be bypassed but
failure to pay interest on loans often gives the lender the right to claim on the firms
operating assets thereby preventing the firms continuity of activity.
The following illustrative list of activities which may cause increase in cost of the firm.

Bankruptcy Costs

The cost of bankruptcy may be of two types:
Direct costs
Those directly associated with bankruptcy, both legal and administrative.
Indirect costs
Costs associated with a firm experiencing financial distress (creditors,
bankers, customers, employers, etc.)
Bankruptcy costs = direct costs + indirect costs
An increase in debt is associated with increased tax savings but also an increased
probability of running into cost of financial distress and bankruptcy. The value of the
leveraged firm is its capitalised after tax operational cash flow plus the present value of
the tax savings incorporating the anticipated cost of financial distress and bankruptcy.

which shows that there is an optimal capital structure at the point where the market value

Debt Financing and Agency Costs
Agency theory models a situation in which a principal (a superior) delegates decision
making authority to an agent (the subordinate) who receives reward in return for
performing some activity on behalf of the principal. The outcome of the agents effects the
principals welfare in some way, for example sales revenue, output or contribution margin.
The principal attempts to combine a reward system with an information system, in order to
motivate the agent to choose the action, which maximizes the principals welfare.
In respect of debt finance, the suppliers of debt are much concerned, about their
investment in the company, about their investment in the company, about the risk involved
in financing debt to the company. In order to minimize the risks in debt finance, the
suppliers of loan will impose restrictive conditions in loan agreements that constraint
managements freedom of action and it is known as agency costs. The more money the
suppliers of debt lend to the company then the more constraints they are likely to impose
on the managements in order to secure their investments. Therefore, agency costs are
more in highly geared firms.

Debt Financing and Agency Cost
Signaling Theory
In a pioneering study published in 1961, Gordon Donaldson examined how companies
actually establish their capital structure. The findings of his study are summarised below:
1. Firms prefer to rely on internal accruals, i.e. on retained earnings and depreciated
cash flow.
2. Expected future investments oppurtunities and expected future cash flow influence
target dividend payout ratio. Firms set the target pay out ratio at such a level that
capital expenditures, under normal circumstances, are covered by internal accruals.
3. Dividends tend to be sticky in the short run. Dividends are raised only when the
firm is confident that the higher dividend can be maintained; dividends are not
lowered unless things are very bad.
4. If a firms internal accruals exceed its capital expenditure requirements, it will
invest in marketable securities, retire debt, raise dividends, resort to acquisitions, or
buyback its shares.
5. If a firms internal accruals are less than its non-postponable capital expenditure, it
will first draw down its marketable securities portfolio and then seek external
finance.
Noting the inconsistencies in the trade off theory, Myers proposed a new theory, called
thesignalling, or asymmetric information, theory of capital structure. The main points of
the theory are:
-

Managers often have better information.
Sell stock if stock is overvalued.
Sell bonds if stock is undervalued.
Investors understand this, so view new stock sales as a negative signal.
Corporate Finance Practices
The capital structure decision is a difficult decision that involves a complex trade off
among several considerations like income, risk, flexibility, etc. given the over riding
objective of maximising the market value of a firm, the following guidelines should be
kept in mind while hammering out the capital structure of the firm.
Avail of the Tax Advantage of Debt.
Interest on debt finance is a tax deductible expense. Hence finance scholars and
practitioners agree that debt financing gives rise to tax shelter which enhances the
value of the firm.
Preserve Flexibility
Flexibility implies that the firm maintains reserve borrowing power to enable it to
raise debt capital to respond to unforeseen changes in business and political
environment. Hence the firm must maintain some unused debt capacity as an
insurance against adverse future developments.
Ensure that the Total Risk Exposure is Reasonable
The affairs of the firm should be managed in such a way that the total risk borne by
the equity shareholders is not unduly high.
Subordinate Financial Policy to Corporate Strategy

Financial policy and corporate strategy are often not integrated well. This may be
because financial
Mitigate Potential Agency Costs.
Due to separate ownership and control in modern corporations, agency problems
arise. Shareholders scattered and dispersed as they are not able to organise
themselves effectively. Hence, very little monitoring takes place in the security
markets.
Since agency costs are borne buy shareholders and the management, the financing
strategy of a firm should seek to minimise these cost by employing external agents
who specialise in low cost monitoring.
Issue innovative Securities
Thanks to SEBI guidelines introduced in 1992, issues have considerable freedom
in designing financial instruments. There is greater scope for employing innovative
securities to the advantage of the firm. The important securities innovations have
been as follows: floating rate bonds (or notes), collateralised mortgage obligations,
dual currency bonds, extendible notes, medium term notes.
Widen the Range of Financing Sources
In as dynamically evolving financial environment, traditional sources of financing
may diminish in importance. They may not be adequate or optimal. Hence, it
behoves on a firm to employ new modes of finance like commercial paper,
factoring, Euro issues, and securitisation.
Capital expenditure: an overview
Factors Of Capex
Organizations engaged in manufacturing and marketing of goods or services
require assets in their operations. An asset can be thought of as any expenditure,which creates or aids in creation of a revenue-generating base. Companies incur
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
56/93
various expenditure to carry on standard flow of work, expenditure intended to
yield returns over a period of time, and usually exceeding one year is regarded as
capital expenditure. Various factors are considered before Board of Directors
approves any expenditure. All that factors can further be divided into:
Operational Factors
I. To meet future requirements based on market forecast.
II. To maintain coordination with the vision of the company as Ranbaxy
vision Garuda states to be top five generic players in the world by 2012
and achieve sales of 5 billion. To achieve this target company has to
incur heavy expenditure on acquisition of fixed assets.
III. To increase market penetration.
IV. To maintain, renew, expand, upgrade existing physical assets that helps
to facilitate and enhance revenue-generating capacity.
V. To create, acquire and develop revenue generating activities/ capacities
that is imperative for an organizations healthy growth and existence.
Financial Factors
In deciding which assets to create, acquire or develop, the benefits to be gained
from the expenditure have to be weighed against the costs that will be incurred.
While costs can always be expressed in financial terms, the benefits may or may
not be similarly quantifiable. Nevertheless, an attempt must be made to express
the benefits expected, in a manner that facilitates comparison with costs and helps
formulate a rational basis for the decision making process. Following are the
financial tools that are taken into account for approving capital expenditure.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
57/93
This is one of the techniques for financial evaluation of Capexs. DCF techniques
are based on the concept of time value of money and provide a methodology of
taking into account the timing of cash proceeds and outlays over the life of the
investment. The procedure underscores the need to state cash flow streams
arising in different time periods thus differing in value and, hence comparable
only in terms of a common denominator viz. present values.
I. Discounted Payback Period (DPP)
DPP is the number of years it takes for the present value of inflows to equal the
initial investment. Apart from giving due importance to time value of money it
serves as a reasonable tool of risk approximation. It favors projects, which
generate substantial cash inflows in initial years, and discriminates against those
that bring in substantial inflows in later years (risk tending to increase with
tenure). Thereby implying that an early resolution of uncertainty enables the
decision maker to take prompt corrective action by modifying/ changing other
investment decisions.
However, by the same logic it cannot be used as a principal tool for analysis
because it ignores any substantial cash flows arising after the pay back period.
II. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of the expected future cash
inflows to the present value of the expected future cash outflows. It is the post tax
return from investment and hence the excess of IRR over the cost of capital
indicates a surplus after paying for the capital employed. IRR presupposes an
equivalent rate of return on the cash flows generated during the life of the asset
i.e., it assumes re-investment of intermediate cash flows at the rate of return equal
to the project's IRR.
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
58/93
Internal rates of return are most often used as useful additions to NPV
computations. This has in turn justified the use of IRR as a good substitute to
NPV. IRRs have the merit of indicating whether a project is worthwhile, in
that - an IRR above the cost of capital represents a positive NPV project, an IRR
equal to the cost of capital is a zero NPV project and an IRR less than the cost of
capital is associated with a negative NPV project.
Inspite of its merits, it needs to be understood that IRRs helps only to identify
projects that maximizes the ratio of rupee-value to rupee-capital in percentage
terms. What NPV will help in determining is the projects that maximizes the
rupee-spread between value and capital.
III. Net Present Value (NPV)
NPV is equal to the present value of cash inflows minus the present values of
cash outflows. A positive NPV is a prerequisite for the 'acceptance' of the project.
The primary tool of appraisal would be the NPV method. Its superiority overother methods arises out of its principal merit of incorporating all benefits and
costs occurring over the life of the asset
IV. Profitability Index (PI)
The Profitability Index essentially measures the Present value of benefits times
the initial investment. Under unconstrained conditions, the profitability index will
accept and reject the same projects as the NPV criterion.
It is possible that a project may have no critical risks. Or the financial are
extremely favorable (high NPV, high IRR, high PI, low DPP etc.) and the
occurrence of consequent risks may not compromise the success of the project. It
is also possible that there is a conscious corporate decision to accept certain risks.
In such cases, no measures are required. These risks, in any case, must beexplicitly stated in the Quantitative assessment of Risk Capital investments are

essentially committed in expectation rather than in certainty, which implies that
investments are subject to risk contribute to removing the shortcomings of an
unstructured workings.
INTRODUCTION
The term 'Capital expenditure' refers to expenditure intended to yield returns
over a period of time, usually exceeding one year. This basically implies that any
expenditure, which results in the creation of a new asset or substantially increases
the capacity/benefits of an existing asset and is of a "long term" nature, should be
classified as Capital expenditure.
Since, the expression 'Capital expenditure' is not exhaustively defined, the facts
of a particular case would decide whether expenditure is capital or revenue.
Generally speaking, the expenditure should be tested on the following criteria to
facilitate classification between capital and revenue.
Expenditure would be deemed to be capital, if incurred for
Initiation of business
Extension of business: Entry into new markets & products
(including R&D and regulatory expenses).
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
60/93
Modification of asset/ equipment resulting in increased benefits
from the existing asset
Bringing into existence a new asset.
Conversely, expenditure would be deemed to be revenue, if
incurred for
Routine repairs and maintenance of existing plant.
Replacement of any part of the existing plant with capacitiesremaining unchanged
Shifting of plants
Making alterations or renovations on rented premises
Assets having life of less than one year
Classification Of Capital Investments
Since the analysis for appraisal of the proposed capital expenditure will largely
depend upon the kind of investment, it is necessary to classify capital investments
into the following categories:
1) Cost Reduction, Modernisation and Rationalisation.
Expenditure to replace serviceable, but obsolete equipment. This may
become necessary because of the expiry of normal life or change in technology.
The purpose of this expenditure is to improve productivity, increase efficiency or
reduce cost of labour, material or other items such as power.
2) Expansion of Existing Products/ Capacity
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
61/93
Expenditures to increase plant capacity for existing products/equipment or
enhance multi-purpose flexibility.
3) Expansion into New Products/New Product Packs
Expenditure necessary to produce new products/new product pack. This also
includes expenditure on existing facilities to handle new products which may
result in incremental realizations / value additions.
4) New market development and Market Entry
This would include expenditure made for entering and developing new markets.
Such proposals would require the business case to be accompanied with detailedfinancial analysis.
5) Replacement: Maintenance of Business
Expenditure necessary to replace worn-out or damaged equipment. They are not
likely to increase capacity or alter production significantly. Capital spares are
included here.
6) Quality, Good Manufacturing Practices, Safety, Health and Environment.
Expenditures necessary to upgrade quality, compliance of GMPs, government
regulations, labour agreements, insurance policy terms, and environmental safety
requirements. Financial evaluation/benefits from such expenditure may to the
extent quantifiable, be provided.
7) Research & Development
Expenditure on R&D projects/ equipment/ facilities. Financial evaluation/benefits
from such expenditure may to the extent quantifiable, be provided.
8) Information Technology
Expenditure on procurement of IT infrastructure (Hardware) and/or application
software. Financial evaluation/benefits from such expenditure may to the extent
quantifiable, be provided.
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
62/93
9) Others
This includes office buildings, vehicles, furniture, office equipment, InfoTech
related equipment and utilities, and all such assets, which provide infrastructures
support. This also includes any capital expenditure not explicitly covered in the
above classifications.
Capital Expenditure proposals are not applicable for
1]Employee entitlements
Capital expenditure necessary to meet the commitments in respect of provision of
assets to the employees in terms of personnel policies. Financial evaluation of
such expenditure is not required. Assets purchased by employees against their
hard/soft furnishing entitlements do not fall within the scope of this manual and
hence, will not be included here as they are per policy.
2]Amounts less than Rs.10, 000/ $1,000
Segregation of Capex and Revenue Expenditure
Broadly, the following shall be considered as Revenue:
All repairs to equipment in the normal course of business.
All annual maintenance contracts (AMC) to keep the said equipment/assets in
working condition.
All expenditures, which do not result in an enduring/permanent benefit to the
assets.
Modification to the existing assets, which does not result in enduring benefit,
are to be treated as Revenue after taking ratification of Technical Head of
Plant.
-
7/27/2019 Study of Capital Structure
63/93
Piping and insulation of the nature of minor repair or replacement.
Re-arrangement of assets or minor structural changes for regulatory batches.
All accessories / dies & punches which are procured subsequent to purchase of
assets
In case of certain expenditure the treatment of which is in doubt, the decision in
this respect shall be exercised by the Plant Account Manager in consultation with
the User/Technical Head.
Date Of Capitalisation
Date of Capitalisation would be the date when the assets is certified by the
concerned Engineering / E&F Department as ready to use or GRN date in case of
assets which do not need commissioning (that is computers, furniture, fixtures
etc.). Authority for fixing date of capitalisation would be with E&F department.
Lead-time between certification and Commencement of commercial production
will not normally exceeds 30 days
In case of lead-time exceeding 30 days to take specific approvals from the Plant
Head.
Capitalization of Expenditure other than basic cost of assets
All expenditure directly related to the assets capitalized including freight, Entry
tax, Octroi, custom duty, and any such amount, which does not form part of the
original invoice, is to be capitalized along with the relevant assets.
All installation cost, service charges and labour cost, trial run cost (net of
realizable value of the product), technician fee and any other expenditure directly
attributable to the installation.

Cenvat /CVD credits will be netted off from the cost of assets. As per accounting
standard we have to capitalise the assets net of Modvat.
E&F department operational cost will be directly identified with the projects or
allocated to the projects on equitable basis.
For all this expenditure it is important to book at the stage of initiation at SAP
locations through the same capital internal order number, which has been
uniquely given to the Capex proposal at the time of initiation of the particular
asset.
Regarding Cenvat/ CVD credits netting off, special care is required to be taken
towards year ends to ensure meeting technical requirements as per the
Accounting Standards and ensure maximum depreciation (including higher
depreciation allowed is accounted for on capitalization, as applicable & there is
no Cenvat (cash flow) loss.
Capex Numbering
The numbering scheme is as under
Entity/Division/Cost Center No./ Year/ Serial No. of CEP raised by that
RCC/ Running Serial No. of Capex of the Division/ Plant, to be given by the
Accounts department. In case of Head Office, H.O will appear against division's
name.
At the beginning of the year capital budget prepared by every cost center (RCC) for
the particular year in every business area. This budget prepared every department and
submitted to the division. Then division decided and finalized the budget and given to
the management committee for the final approval. Capital budget is three type
prepared by the company.
Divisional
