Financial Management
• Meaning of Business Finance : In general, finance may be defined as the provision of money at the time it is wanted. However as a Management Function, it has a special meaning.
• Guthman & Dougall : “Business finance can broadly be defined as the activity concerned with planning, raising, controlling and administrating of the funds used in the business.”
Objectives of Financial Management
1. Basic Objectives : Traditionally, basic objectives of FM are
(a). The maintenance of liquid assets, and (b). Maximisation of the profitability of the firm.
2. Other Objectives : (a). Ensuring a fair return to shareholders. (b). Building up reserves for growth and expansion. ©. Ensuring maximum operational efficiency. (d). Ensuring financial discipline in the organisation.
Profit Maximisation Concept-Criticism
1. It is a vague concept.2. It ignores timings.3. It overlooks quality aspects of future activities.4. Prof. Ezra Soloman has suggested Wealth
Maximisation concept.5. WM Concept : Any financial action which
creates wealth or which has a net present worth above zero is a desirable one and should be undertaken.
Nature of Finance
• Finance is a specialised functional field under Business Administration.
• Is an applied field of B.A. Principles developed by Financial Managers or borrowed from accounting, economics or other fields are applied to the problems of managing money.
• Finance different from Accounting & Economics.
Scope of Financial Management
• Traditional Approach : Corporation Finance by Thomas Greene in 1897.
• Corporation Finance by Edward Meade in 1910.
• Financial Policy of Corporations by Arther Dewing in 1919.
• The traditional approach evolved during 1920 and continued to dominate academic thinking upto early 50s.
Scope of Financial Management
• Traditional Approach : (a). Arrangement of funds from Financial
Institutions. (b). Arrangement of funds through financial
instruments viz. Shares, bonds etc. ©. Looking after the legal and accounting
relationship between a corporation and its sources of funds.
Scope of Financial Management
• Traditional Approach – Weaknesses1.Outsider-looking – in approach.2.Ignored routine problems.3.Ignored non-corporate enterprises.4.Ignored working capital financing.5.No emphasis on allocation of funds.
Scope of Financial Management
• Modern Approach : Since Mid 50s.(Also role of Finance Manager in the changing scenario).
(a). Funds requirement decision (b). Financing decision. ©. Investment decision. (d). Dividend decision.
Scope of Financial Management
• Modern Approach : Analytical Approach with the help of computers.
• What is the total volume of funds an enterprise should commit?
• What specific assets should an enterprise acquire?
• How should the funds required be financed?
Impact of Financial & Economic Environment on FM - Globalisation
• Boost in Trade & Commerce.• Increase in Foreign Collaboration resulting in
transfer of latest technology.• Optimum utilisation of finance material and
human resources which has led to improvement in overall efficiency.
• Larger capital inflows – greater industrialisation – increased foreign exchange reserves.
• Development of infrastructural facilities and new financial instruments.
Methods of Financial Management – Tools
Any logical method for the following purposes :1. Measuring the effectiveness of firm’s actions & decisions2. Measuring the validity of the decisions regarding
accepting or rejecting future projects. Important financial tools are :
• Cost of Capital• Financial leverage or trading on equity• Capital Budgeting Appraisal Methods.• ABC Analysis, Cash Management Models, Aging schedule
of inventories, Debtor’s turnover Ratio etc.• Ratio Analysis.• Funds Flow and Cash Flow Analysis.
Time Value of Money
• Time Value of a Money is a useful concept in handling Capital Budgeting problems.
• Money has a time Value because of the following reasons :
1.Individuals generally prefer current consumption.
2.Investment for future greater value possible.3.Inflation Factor – More Purchasing Power in
present than the future money.
Valuation of Simple Interest
M = P (I + i) x t Where,M = Maturity ValueP = Initial InvestmentI = Rupee value of interest earnedI = Interest rateT = Time period for which funds are invested• If Rs. 1000 is invested for 5 years at a simple
interest rate of 15%, what will be the interest and maturity value?
Valuation Concepts
• Compound Value Concept. Equation : A = P (1 + i)n where, A = Amount at the end of period ‘n’ P = Principal at the beginning of the period. I = Interest rate n = Number of years• If Rs. 1000 is invested for 5 years at a compound
interest rate of 15%, what will be the interest and maturity value? Ans : Rs. 2011.40
Future Value of an Annuity
Annuity : Investment made at regular intervals of time in constant amount in recurring deposits or in LIC Policy or Pension Fund. Future Value of Annuity :
F = A(I+i)t -I Where, F = Future Value i A= Constant amount paid I = Interest Rate t = Number of years
• Calculate the compounded value of Rs. 1000 invested every year for 10 years, at a 15% interest rate.
Future Value of Annuity
F = 1000(1.15) 10 – 1) 0.15 = Rs. 20,300/-
• If every year Rs. 1000 is invested at 15% interest rate, it would become Rs. 1,02,440/- in 20 years.
Sinking Fund Payment
• Sinking Fund is opposite to annuity. Companies create a sinking fund every year so that on a maturity date a large amount of payment can be made. Formula :
• A = F( I ) (I+i)t-I • If a Co. has to pay bonds worth Rs. 100 Crores at
the end of 5 years and if it can earn 12% interest on investment, then the Co. should create the Annual Sinking Fund of What Amount?
Sinking Fund
A = 100 ( 0.12 ) (I.12)5 –I = 15.74 Crores
• The Co. should keep aside Rs. 15.74 Crores every year for 5 years and invest the same in 12% interest securities. The Co. can use the maturity value for the repayment of bonds.
Present Value/Discounting Concept
• Present Value after ‘n’ years. __A____ Pv = (1 + i)n Where, Pv = Principal amount the investor is willing to forgo at
present. 1 = Rupee value of interest earned. i = interest rate, n = Number of year. A = Amount at the end of the period n. Note : This is reverse of the compounding formula.• Calculate Present Value of Rs. 1000 @ received in1 to
5 years
Present Value/Discounting Concept
Rs. 1000/- Received in Working Present Value at 1,000/-
Year -1 1000/(1.15)1 869.60
2 1000/(1.15)2 756.10
3 1000/(1.15)3 657.50
4 1000/(1.15)4 571.80
5 1000/(1.15)5 497.20
Present Value of Perpetuity
• Some financial commitments like pension, perpetual bonds etc. may involve a perpetual annuity cash flow. The present value of perpetuity can be calculated :
• PV of Perpetuity : Ax 1/I• At a 20% discount rate, the maximum annuity
factor will be 5 (i.e. 1/0.2). If Rs. 1000 is received every year upto the perpetuity, then its present value will be 1000x5 = Rs. 5,000/-
Capital Recovery
• Certain financial problems require reverse calculations to those of the present value of annuity. For example a Leasing Co. would like to calculate an annual rental charge for the lease equipment or a bank would like to recover a loan in equated annual installments.
• PV of Annuity : PV = A ( 1+i)t-1) ix(1+i)t• A Bank disbursed a loan of Rs. 1 Lac @18% recoverable
in 5 equated annual installments with interest. Calculate the amount of installment?
Capital Recovery
• Solution = 1,00,000x(0.18x(1.18)5 (1.18)5 – 1 = 1,00,000x(0.4118/1.2878) = 1,00,000x0.3198 = Rs. 31,980/-
Funds Flow Statement• Funds : It refers to cash, cash equivalents or to working
Capital. Current Assets and Current Liabilities.• Flow of Funds : The term ‘Flow’ means change and
therefore the term ‘Flow of Funds’ means change in Funds or change in working capital. In other words any increase or decrease in working capital means Flow of Funds.
• Funds Flow Statement : A summary of a firm’s changes in financial position from one period to another. It is also termed as a “Statement of Sources and Applications of Funds” and “Where got and where gone funds”.
• Balance Sheet = Stock of funds• Changes in Balance Sheet items = Net flow of funds
Sources & Uses of Funds
We prepare a basic, bare bones funds statement by :
• Determining the amount and direction of net Balance Sheet changes that occur between two Balance Sheet dates.
• Classifying net Balance Sheet changes as either sources or uses of funds, and
• Consolidating this information in a sources and uses of funds statement format
Uses/Importance of Funds Flow Statement
1. It explains the financial consequences of business operations.
2. It answers intricate queries.3. It acts as an instrument for allocation of
resources.4. It is a test as to effective or otherwise use of
working capital.
Techniques for preparing Funds Flow Statement
1. Schedule of changes in Working Capital It can be prepared by comparing the current
assets and current liabilities of two periods. 2. Funds Flow Statement For preparing a Funds Flow Statement, it is
necessary to find out the sources and Application of Funds. Here, attention is given to changes in Fixed Assets and Fixed Liabilities and the changes in current assets and current liabilities are ignored.
Schedule of changes in Working Capital - Rules
1. Increase in current assets results in increase (+) in working capital.
2. Decrease in current assets results in decrease (-) in working capital.
3. Increase in current liability, results in decrease (-) in working capital.
4. Decrease in current liability, results in increase (+) in working capital.

Cash Flow Statement
What is Balance Sheet?• A Balance Sheet is a statement showing the
financial position of the firm as at the last day of the account period.
What is Profit & Loss Account?• This is an income statement which focuses on
financial performance due to the operating activities of a firm during the period.
Cash Flow Statement
• What is Funds Flow Statement : A summary of a firm’s changes in financial position from one period to another. It is also termed as a “Statement of Sources and Applications of Funds” and “Where got and where gone funds”.
Cash Flow Statement
What is Cash Flow Statement?• Cash Flow Statement is a statement which
indicates sources of cash inflows and transactions of cash outflows of a firm during an accounting period. The activities / transactions which generate cash inflows are known as sources of cash and activities which cause cash outflows are known as uses of cash. It is also termed as “Where got where gone statement”.
Cash Flow Statement
Sources of Cash Inflows• Business Operations/Operating activities• Non-business/operating activities (Interest, Dividend
received)• Sale of Long term assets (Plant, building and
equipment)• Issue of additional Long term securities (Equity,
Preference Shares and Debentures)• Additional Long term borrowings ( Banks & Financial
Institutions)• Other sources (specify them)
Cash Flow Statement
Sources of Cash Outflows :• Purchase of Long term assets (Plant & Machinery,
Land & Building, Office equipment & Furniture)• Redemption of Preference Shares & Debentures• Repurchase of Equity Shares• Repayment of long term borrowings• Cash dividends paid to shareholders (Preference
& Equity)• Other items (Specify)Net Increase/Decrease in Cash.
Usefulness of Cash Flow Statement
It helps in answering the following questions:• How much cash has been generated from normal
business operating activities / operations of a company.
• What have been the other premier financing activities of the firm through which cash has been raised? What has happened to cash so obtained?
• How much cash has been spent on investment activities, say on purchase of new Plant & Equipments?
Usefulness of Cash Flow Statement
• How was the redemption of Preference Shares and Debentures accomplished?
• How long term sources of cash (internally generated plus raised externally) adequate to finance purchase of new long term/fixed assets.
• What has been the proportion of Debt and Equity for cash raised from outside?
• Why are dividends not larger?• Is the Co. borrowings to pay cash dividends?• Has the liquidity position of the Co. improved

Utility of Cash Flow Analysis
• Helps in efficient Cash Management.
• Helps in internal Financial Management.
• Discloses the movements of cash
• Discloses success or failure of cash planning
Limitations-Cash Flow Statement
• Cannot be equated with Income Statement
• It may not disclose the true financial position of the business. For example : Postponement of purchases and other payments.
• It cannot replace Income Statement or Funds Flow Statement.
Difference between Funds Flow & Cash Flow Statement
(a). Statement of changes in cash position• The Cash Flow Statement takes care of the
changes in the cash position between two balance sheets irrespective of the fact whether the inflow relates to transactions of previous years or the current period or whether of revenue nature or capital nature. On the other hand, the Funds Flow Statement takes into account all funds flowing in or out of the business and cash is only one of those funds.
Difference between Funds Flow & Cash Flow Statement
(b). A tool for Short-term Finances• Cash Flow statement can let know the position for
short of meeting a liability which is going to fall due within a short period say month or quarter. For relatively longer period analysis, the Funds Flow may be more suitable concept.
(c). Effect on Funds of the Company : The Cash Flow Statement affect the working capital as it
is one of the components of the total funds. On the other hand, the changes in funds, do not necessarily affect the cash position, since the funds which do not involve cash do not affect the cash position at all.
Difference between Funds Flow & Cash Flow Statement
(d). Cash is part of WC. Improvement in cash position results in improvement of Funds position but the reverse is not true.
(e). Technique of Preparation. An increase in CL or decrease in CA results in decrease in WC and vice versa. While an increase in CL or decrease in CA (other than cash) will result in increase in cash and vice versa.

Intangible Assets : Certain Assets, which do not have any physical presence but just book entries created with some specific objective :
• Goodwill• Patents• Copyrights• Trademarks• Formulae• Preliminary and Formation Expenses• Loss incurred by the organisation.
Ratio Analysis
• Meaning : Ratios are relationships expressed in mathematical terms between figures which are connected with each other in some manner.
• Ratios can be expressed in two ways (a). Times : When one value is divided with
another, the unit used to express the quotient is termed as times.
(b). Percentage : If the quotient obtained is multiplied by 100, the unit of expression is termed as percentage.
Classification of Ratios
1. Traditional Method
2. Functional Method
Traditional Method• The traditional classification has been on the basis of the
financial statement to which the determinants of a ration belong.
(a). Profit & Loss Account Ratios : Gross Profit Ratio, Stock Turnover Ratio.
(b). Balance Sheet Ratios : Current Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio ©. Composite Ratios : Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio, Overall
Profitability Ratio.
Functional Ratios
• Profitability Ratios.
• Coverage Ratios.
• Turnover Ratios.
• Financial Ratios :
Profitability Ratios
(a). Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit X 100 Net Sales(b). Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit X 100 Net Sales ©. Operating or = Operating Costs X 100 Expenses Ratio Net Sales
Profitability Ratios
(d). Overall Profitability Ratio : It is also called as “Return on Investment” or “Return on Capital Employed”. It indicates the % of return on the total capital employed in the business. The formula is :
Operating Profit X 100 Capital Employed
Capital Employed(a). Sum total of Long Term funds employed in the business :Share Capital + Res & Surplus + Long Term Loans – (Non
Business Assets + Fictitious Assets) Or(b). Sum total of all Assets whether Fixed or Current.• “Operating Profit” means Profit before Intt. and Tax.
Interest means ‘Interest on long term borrowings’. Interest on short term borrowings will be deducted for computing operating profit. Non trading incomes such as interest on Govt. securities or non trading losses or expenses such as loss on account of fire etc. will also be excluded.
Return on Capital Employed• From the following figures of M/s. ABC & Co.
Calculate the return on total capital employed.Fixed Assets 4,50,000 Reserves 1,00,000 Current Assets 1,50,000 Debentures 1,00,000Investment in 1,00,000 Income from (Govt.

= 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 – 10,000 + 10,000 = 2,00,000
Return on Capital Employed
• Capital Employed : (a).Share Capital + Reserves + Debentures + P&L Balance – Investment in Govt.
Securities= (3,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 –

Profitability Ratios
• Net Profit to total Assets = Net Profit after Tax + Interest X 100 Total Assets• Return on Shareholder’s funds= Profits available for Equity Shareholders X 100 Average Equity Shareholder’s Funds• Earning per Equity Share= Profits available for Equity Shareholders X 100 No. of Equity Shares • Price Earning Ratio = Market Price per Equity Share Earning per Share
Turnover or Efficiency Ratio
• Inventory Turnover (Stock) : Cost of Goods Sold Average Inventory (Ave. Inventory = Opening Stock + Closing Stock) 2• Accounts Receivable Turnover Net Sales on Credit Average Receivable
Financial Ratio• Current Ratio : Current Assets Current Liabilities
• Quick Ratio : Also known as Acid Test Ratio or Liquidity Ratio. Prepaid Exps and Stock are not taken as Liquid Assets & Bank Overdraft and C.C. facilities are excluded from the C.L.

Capital Structure
• The Debt-Equity mix of a firm is called Capital Structure.
• The Capital Structure decision is a very significant financial decision since it affects the shareholder’s return and risk and consequently the market value of the share
Capital Structure
• How should the Investment Project be financed?
• Does the way in which the investment projects are financed matter?
• How does financing affect the shareholder’s risk, return and value?
• Does there exist an optimum financing mix in terms of the maximum value to the firm’ shareholders.
Capital Structure
• Can the optimum financing mix be determined in practice for a Company?
• What factors in practice should a Company consider in designing its Financing Policy?

Financial Leverage
• The use of the fixed-charges sources of funds such as Debt and Preference Capital along with the owner’s equity in the capital structure is described as ‘Financial Leverage’ or ‘Gearing’ or ‘Trading on Equity’.
• The rate of interest on debt is fixed irrespective of the Company’s rate of return on assets.
• The rate of preference dividend is also fixed but are paid only when the Co. earns profits.
