    Capital structureThe term capital structure refers to the percentage of capital

    (money) at work in a business by type. Broadly speaking,

    there are two forms of capital: equity capital and debt capital.

    Each has its own benefits and drawbacks and a substantial

    part of wise corporate stewardship and management is

    attempting to find the perfect capital structure in terms of

    risk / reward payoff for shareholders. This is true for Fortune

    500 companies and for small business owners trying to

    determine how much of their startup money should come

    from a bank loan without endangering the business.

    Equity Capital:This refers to money put up andowned by the shareholders (owners). Typically, equity

    capital consists of two types: 1.) contributed capital, whichis the money that was originally invested in the business inexchange for shares of stock or ownership and 2.) retainedearnings, which represents profits from past years thathave been kept by the company and used to strengthenthe balance sheet or fund growth, acquisitions, orexpansion.Many consider equity capital to be the most expensive typeof capital a company can utilize because its "cost" is thereturn the firm must earn to attract investment. Aspeculative mining company that is looking for silver in aremote region of Africa may require a much higher returnon equity to get investors to purchase the stock than a firm

    such as Procter & Gamble, which sells everything fromtoothpaste and shampoo to detergent and beauty products.

    Debt Capital: The debt capital in a company's

    capital structure refers to borrowed money that is at workin the business. The safest type is generally consideredlong-term bonds because the company has years, if notdecades, to come up with the principal, while payinginterest only in the meantime.Other types of debt capital can include short-termcommercial paper utilized by giants such as Wal-Mart andGeneral Electric that amount to billions of dollars in 24-hourloans from the capital markets to meet day-to-day workingcapital requirements such as payroll and utility bills. Thecost of debt capital in the capital structure depends on thehealth of the company's balance sheet - a triple AAA ratedfirm is going to be able to borrow at extremely low ratesversus a speculative company with tons of debt, which mayhave to pay 15% or more in exchange for debt capital.

    Other Forms of Capital: There are actuallyother forms of capital, such as vendor financing where acompany can sell goods before they have to pay the bill tothe vendor, that can drastically increase return on equitybut don't cost the company anything. This was one of thesecrets to Sam Walton's success at Wal-Mart. He was oftenable to sell Tide detergent before having to pay the bill toProcter & Gamble, in effect, using PG's money to grow hisretailer. In the case of an insurance company, thepolicyholder "float" represents money that doesn't belongto the firm but that it gets to use and earn an investmenton until it has to pay it out for accidents or medical bills, inthe case of an auto insurer. The cost of other forms of

    capital in the capital structure varies greatly on a case-by-case basis and often comes down to the talent anddiscipline of managers.

    Seeking the Optimal Capital Structure

    Many middle class individuals believe that the goal in life is tobe debt-free . When you reach the upper echelons of finance,

    however, that idea is almost anathema. Many of the mostsuccessful companies in the world base their capital structureon one simple consideration: the cost of capital. If you canborrow money at 7% for 30 years in a world of 3% inflationand reinvest it in core operations at 15%, you would be wiseto consider at least 40% to 50% in debt capital in your overallcapital structure.Of course, how much debt you take on comes down to howsecure the revenues your business generates are - if you sell

    an indispensable product that people simply must have, thedebt will be much lower risk than if you operate a theme parkin a tourist town at the height of a boom market. Again, this iswhere managerial talent, experience, and wisdom comes intoplay. The great managers have a knack for consistentlylowering their weighted average cost of capital by increasingproductivity, seeking out higher return products, and more.

    To truly understand the idea of capital structure, you need totake a few moments to read Return on Equity: The DuPontModel to understand how the capital structure represents one

    of the three components in determining the rate of return acompany will earn on the money its owners have invested init. Whether you own a doughnut shop or are consideringinvesting in publicly traded stocks, it's knowledge you simplymust have.

    ANALYSIS OF CAPITALSTRUCTURE(BHEL):

    As capital structure shows the company position in form ofcapital investment, how company has managed their sourcesof investment and how they have managed for the capital.

    It can be clearly said from the given capital structure of thecompany, that the company has issued equity shares in orderto raise the capital for different ventures, proposed in future.

    The only change is in the number of shares issued by thecompany from 244760000 to 489520000. Company has notissued any debentures for raising capital, this means theposition of the company is quite healthy and companydoesnt need any loans further from the market. Theinvestment made by the company is sufficient for thecompany venture in order to meet their capital requirements.

    The equity share capital in the year 2008-09 has almostbecome double which means company has issued more

    equity share(almost double,244.76 to 489.52)in number inorder to raise capital. The reason behind this can be somenew projects that company might have bagged or expansionthat company is planning in near future for which it needcapital.

    PROS & CONS:

    Investing in shares is a complex task, with good points andbad points. The stock market, buying and selling shares, canbe very lucrative or it can cost you all of your money. Beforeyou invest, take the time to understand both the good pointsand bad points of this type of investing before you sink yourmoney into it. Below is a list of the various pros and cons ofinvesting in shares.

    Pros: Investing in stocks can be very lucrative. If you were one

    of the investors in Google last year, before the marketfell, you would have made a substantial return on yourmoney. Goggle's stock rose, and was one of the onlystocks to do so, more that 400% in just a few months.

    Different stocks carry a varied amount of risk, allowingyou do diversify more easily. You are able to study eachcompany's performance over a certain period of timeand decide whether the average return of thosecompanies, as compared to the risk involved meets yourparticular needs. If you only have a small amount toinvest, your ability to diversify is limited.

    Shares generally have a low entry and exit cost. Becauseeach stock is individually priced you can buy just a fewof a high priced stock, and have lower risk with a provencompany or many shares of a low priced stock,increasing your risk but giving you more control.

    Stocks are liquid assets, which means that you can buyand sell them at will.

    Cons:

    19/20

    Investing in shares requires a great deal of knowledgeand experience. Going it alone, at least initially, caneasily be disastrous. A wise new investor will hire a goodfinancial advisor to assist them. This is an added

    expense however. Stocks have very little transparency. A margin call can wipe out your investment.

    If you sell your stock within a year of purchase, you aresubject to a tax of about 30%. If you stocks, during theperiod that you have held them show substantial profitthis isn't a problem. If your stocks either remained stableor took a loss and you sell you will also suffer not onlythe loss of the stock but a substantial tax as well.

    Every investor has different investment needs. Investing inshares is an excellent option but know the advantages anddisadvantages before you invest and measure them againstyour particular financial plans.

    CONCLUSION:

    TATA STEEL LTD. and BHEL. Both companies are of

    different sectors, and companies are one of best companiesin their field. The financial position of both the companies isvery sound. Both companies have not issued any debenturesfor raising fund for their projects. This shows that companiesare moving safely without taking any risk for raising funds.

    They have issues equity share for which they are not liable topay returns to the investors every year. By analyzing the datait can be said that the goodwill of the companies is very goodin the eyes investor, thats why companies raised their capitalonly from equity shares and not from debenture. Also both

    companies are moving safely but not raising their long termdebts. Their market standing is very good, and they do notfind it difficult in raising their equity share capital .
