INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC
Capital Structure refers to the way a corporations finances itself through some
combination of equity sales, equity options, bonds, and loans. Optimal capital structure refers
to the particular combination that minimizes the cost of capital while maximizing the stock
price. Capital structure is the mix of the various types of debt and equity capital maintained
by a firm. The more debt capital a firm has in its capital structure, the more highly leveraged
the firm is considered to be. The permanent long term financing of a company, including
long- term debt, common stock and preferred stock, and retained earning.
One of the key issues in the capital structure decision is the relationship between the
capital structure and the value of the firm. The capital structure or financial leverage decision
is examined from the point of view of its impact on the value of the firm. The optimum
capital structure is one that maximizes the market value of the firm.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
DEFINITION
Capital Structure refers to the way a corporations finances itself through some
combination of equity sales, equity options, bonds, and loans. Optimal capital structure refers
to the particular combination that minimizes the cost of capital while maximizing the stock
price. . A capital structure that is leveraged more has a greater proportion of debt versus
equity. Capital structure refers to a mixture of a variety of long term sources of funds and
equity shares including reserves and surpluses of an enterprise.
The two principal sources of finance for a company are equity and debt. Capital
structure is the mix of the various types of debt and equity capital maintained by a firm. The
more debt capital a firm has in its capital structure, the more highly leveraged the firm is
considered to be. The permanent long term financing of a company, includes long- term debt,
common stock and preferred stock, and retained earning. It differs from financial structure,
which includes short– term debt and accounts payable. It is the mix of long-term debt and
equity used to finance or capitalize a business enterprise. This may include long-term debt,
common stock, preferred stock, warrants, pension, and lease liabilities. It hardly takes in its
structure, all the complex quantitative factors as well as qualitative attributes affecting
investment decisions. One of the key issues in the capital structure decision is the relationship
between the capital structure and the value of the firm. The capital structure or financial
leverage decision is examined from the point of view of its impact on the value of the firm.
The optimum capital structure is one that maximizes the market value of the firm.
Capital structure is the mix of long-term debt and equity used to finance or capitalize
a business enterprise. This may include long- term debt, common stock, preferred stock,
warrants, pension, and lease liabilities. A capital structure that is leveraged more has a greater
proportion of debt versus equity. The permanent long-term financing of a company, including
long-term debt, common stock and preferred stock, and retained earnings. It differs from
financial structure, which includes short-term debt and accounts payable.
Capital structure normally includes common and preferred stock, long-term debt and
retained earnings. It does not include accounts payable or short-term debt.
A firm should attempt to determine what its optimal, or best, mix of financing should
be. Determining the exact optimal capital structure is not a science, so after analyzing a
number of factors, a firm establishes a target capital structure it believes is optimal, which is
then used as a guide for raising funds in the future. This target might change over time as
conditions vary, but at any given moment the firm's management has a specific capital
structure in mind, and individual financing decisions should be consistent with this target. If
the actual proportion of debt is below the target level, new funds will probably be raised by
issuing debt, whereas if the proportion of debt is above the target, stock will probably be sold
to bring the firm back in line with the target debt/assets ratio.
Capital structure policy involves a trade-off between risk and return. Using more debt
raises the riskiness of the firm's earnings stream, but a higher proportion of debt generally
leads to a higher expected rate of return; and, we know that the higher risk associated with
greater debt tends to lower the stock's price. At the same time, however, the higher expected
rate of return makes the stock more attractive to investors, which, in turn, ultimately increases
the stock's price. Therefore, the optimal capital structure is the one that strikes a balance
between risk and return to achieve our ultimate goal of maximizing the price of the stock.
1. The first is the firm's business risk, or the riskiness that would be inherent in the firm's
operations if it used no debt. The greater the firm's business risk, the lower the amount
of debt that is optimal.
2. The second key factor is the firm's tax position. A major reason for using debt is that
interest is tax deductible, which lowers the effective cost of debt. However, if much of
a firm's income is already sheltered from taxes by accelerated depreciation or tax loss
carry- forwards, its tax rate will be low, and debt will not be as advantageous as it
would be to a firm with a higher effective tax rate.
3. The third important consideration is financial flexibility, or the ability to raise capital
on reasonable terms under adverse conditions. Corporate treasurers know that a steady
supply of capital is necessary for stable operations, which, in turn, are vital for long-
run success. They also know that when money is tight in the economy, or when a firm
is experiencing operating difficulties, a strong balance sheet is needed to obtain funds
from suppliers of capital. Thus, it might be advantageous to issue equity to strengthen
the firm's capital base and financial stability.
These four points largely determine the target capital structure, but, operating
conditions can cause the actual capital structure to vary from the target at any given time.
There is a direct kinship between the debt equity ratio of a firm and the
collateralization of its debt. Since all projects are seldom collateralized, firms often go in for
equity finance rather than borrowed capital. The issue of debt buttressed by assets with
known values, do away with the costs associated with the issue of new shares. A firm can
maximize the value of its equity by disposing secured debts to unsecured creditors. At a
higher debt level a firm that is exposed to the threat of bankruptcy is burdened with rising
agency costs. This cripples its ability to garner additional funds. The collateral value attribute
is captured by the ratio of intangible assets to total assets, and the ratio of inventory (plus
gross plant and equipment in money terms) to total assets. The first ratio is negatively related
to the collateral value of assets while the second is positively related to it.
Enterprises with large tax benefits relative to their expected cash inflows, prefer less
debt in their capital structure. When a levered firm prospers, owing to its increasing agency
costs, its growth will have a negative relationship with the long term debt. To mitigate the
effect of bulging agency costs, when enterprises mobilize short term debts, growth will
cultivate a positive relationship with it. Convertible debentures can also cut agency costs to
size. Hence growth will assume a direct relationship with convertible debt ratios. Capital
expenditure to total assets, and the increase in total assets measured by its percentage change,
can also be indicators of growth. Since progressive enterprises earmark more funds for R&D
to innovate and generate new investment opportunities, the ratio of the above to sales too can
be a proxy for growth..
Firms manufacturing specialized products to meet the specific needs of the customers
normally go for equity financing. In such cases a negative relationship between equity and
debt is plausible. In certain empirical studies the ratios of selling expenses to sales and R&D
to sales are treated as proxies for uniqueness of a firm. Larger firms with greater degree of
diversification are less prone to bankruptcy and liquidation. Such firms are hence highly-
levered. The size of a firm is often gauged by the natural log of sales. Some financial analysts
believe that the optimum debt level is a decreasing function of the volatility of earnings. Such
firms prefer more equity and less debt. The Standard Deviation of the percentage of change in
operating income can capture this attribute.
When debt level is low at higher profitability, promising firms rely more on equity
and less on debt for their expansion and diversification, since they can easily mobilize equity
funds on attractive terms. Even debt on a massive scale with soft terms can knock at their
doors. The relationship between profitability and debt hence can be both direct as well as
indirect. Profitability is measured by the ratio of operating income to sales, and operating
income to assets. Thus determinants of capital structure of a firm are governed by a myriad of
factors which make the identification of optimal capital structure an uphill task.
Theoretically, the financial manager should plan an optimum capital structure for his
company. The optimum capital structure is one that maximises the market value of the firm.
There are significant variations among industries and among companies within an industrry
in terms of capital structure. Since a number of factors influence the capital structure decision
of a company, the judgement of the person making capital structure decision plays a crucial
part. Two similar companies may have different capital structures if the decision- maker
differ in their judgement of the significance of various factors.
The Board of Directors or the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a company company
should develope an appropriate or target capital structure, which is most advantageous to the
company. This can be done only when all those factors, which are relevent to the company’s
Capital structure decision, are properly analysized and balanced. The capital structure should
be planned generally keeping in view the interests of the equity shareholders and the financial
requirements of a company. The equity shareholders, being the owners of the company and
the providers of risk capital ( equity), would be concerned about the ways of financing a
company’s operations. However, the interests of otgher groups, such as employees,
customers, creditors, society, and government, shopuld also be iven reasonable consideration.
When the company lays down its objective in terms of the shareholder’s wealth maximization
it is generally compatible with the interest of other groups. Thus, while developing an
apprpriate capital structure for its company, the financial manager should inter- alia aim at
maximizing the long term market price oer share.
A company formulating its long term financial policy should, first of all, analyse its
current financial structure. The following are the important elements of the company’s
financial 6structure that need proper scrutiny and analysis.
Capital Mix
Firms have to decide about the mix of debt and equity capital. Debt capital can be
mobilized from a variety of sources. The firms and analysts use debt ratios, debt service
coverage ratios, and the fund flow statements to analyse the capital mix.
Firms have choices with regard to the basis of interest payments. They may obtain
loans either at fixed or floating rates of interest. In case of equity, the firm may like to return
income either in the form of large dividends or large capital gains. The firm’s choice of the
basis of payments indicates the management’s assessment about the future interest rates and
the firm’s earnings.
Currency
Firms in a number of countries have the choice of raising funds from the overseas
markets. Overseas financial market provide opportunities to raise large amount of funds.
Accessing capital internationally also helps company to globalize it’s operations fast.
Because international financial markets may not be perfect and may not be fully integrated,
firms may be able to issue capital overseas at lower costs than in the domestic markets.
Financial Innovations
Firms may raise capital either through the issues of simple securities or through the
issues innovative securities. Financial innovations are intended to make the security issue
attractive to investors and reduce cost of capital. A firm can issue varieties of option- linked
securities; it can also issue tailor- made securities to large suppliers of capitals.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
To know the Capital Structure & its impact to Automobile Industry analysis.
To learn & understand capital structure and its Impact on EPS of Automobile
Industry.
The business risk is constant over time and is assumed to be independent of its capital
structure.
The study is aimed to the know the growth of Capital Structure & its impact on EPS
with Reference to Automobile Industry and the increased the demand for the products
that have been manufacturing during seasonal and un seasonal period.
LIMITATIONS
The data of study of project collected of investor or capital structure may not
applicable in the situations.
The study of capital structure analysis of company financial position may be affected
or not.
It is dipped to judge the results-valve due to the change market valves of the firm.
This project has completed with annual reports; it just constitutes one part of data
collections i.e., secondary. There were limitations for primary data collections
because of confidentiality.
Limited period:-
This project is based on five years annual reports, conclusions and recommendations
are based on such limited data. The trend of last five years may / may not reflect the
real Capital Structure & its impact on EPS with reference position of the company
Limited area:-
Also it was difficult to collect the data regarding the competitors and their financial
information. Industry figures were also difficult.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data collection is important step in any project and success of any project will be largely
depend upon now much accurate you will be able to collect and how much time, money and
effort will be required to collect that necessary data, this is also important step.
This project requires a detailed understanding of the concept – “Capital Structure & its
impact on EPS with Refrence to Bajaj Automobile Industry”. Therefore, firstly we need to
have a clear idea of what is working capital, how it is managed in Coal India Limited what
are the different ways in which the financing of working capital is done in the company.
The management of working capital involves managing inventories, accounts receivable and
payable and cash. Therefore one also needs to have a sound knowledge about cash
management, inventory management and receivables management.
The data collection for research collection work is one the crucial ventures to be done. In
order to come out with the strengths & weakness of the market by the way of data in term of
communication & observation.
In order to reach some accurate & reliable conclusion, we require some set of
information. This information is nothing but the systematically processed & relevant ideas.
So, in other words we can say that, “Information is outcome of processed Data”
Primary data:

RECOMMENDATION
The Capital Structure & its impact to Automobile Industry analysis is one of the
private sector Bajaj Automobile Company in India. It is a profitable Company.
The company should need to include more debt contents in its capital structure in
order to get the advantage of tax benefits as debt is a cheaper source of financing.
The business environment of the company is reasonably good. The company’s track
record is always oriented towards profitable growth and with strong fundamentals.
Smooth functioning will release locked up capital and improve the cash flow.
Acquisition of new assets of heavy costs should be done with proper capital budgeting
supported by payback period.
CONCLUSION
After analyzing the financial position of Capital Structure & its impact to Automobile
Industry analysis and evaluating its Capital Structure Analysis in respect of Ratio
Analysis and source and utilization of founds. The following conclusions are drawn
from the project preparation.
Capital structure may be defined as the mixture of debt and equity that comprises the
financing of its assets. Hence, the total balance of capital and liabilities is financial
structure, not a capital structure. The main objective of financial manager behind
capital structure management is to minimize the overall cost of capital and risk, and
take the advantage of favorable financial leverage and corporate tax. So while
maintaining the proportion between debt and equity, their merits and demerits should
be evaluated relatively.
It is not possible to have an ideal capital structure, however, the management should
target capital structure and initial capital structure should be framed with subsequent
changes in initial capital structure to have it like target capital structure. Some
companies do not plan capital structure but they are still achieving a good prosperity.
