FUCTIONAL AREAS
MARKETS AND MARKETING OF THE COMPANY
MARKETS & MARKETING:
Marketing is defined by the American Marketing Association as "the activity, set of institutions,
and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value
for customers, clients, partners, and society at large."The term developed from the original
meaning which referred literally to going to market with goods for sale. From a Sales process
engineering perspective, marketing is "a set of processes that are interconnected and
interdependent with other functions" of a business aimed at achieving customer interest and
satisfaction.
The Chartered Institute of Marketing defines marketing as "the management process responsible
for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably."A similar concept
is the value-based marketing which states the role of marketing to contribute to increasing
shareholder value.In this context, marketing can be defined as "the management process that
seeks to maximise returns to shareholders by developing relationships with valued customers and
creating a competitive advantage."
Marketing practice tended to be seen as a creative industry in the past, which included
advertising, distribution and selling. However, because the academic study of marketing makes
extensive use of social sciences, psychology, sociology, mathematics, economics, anthropology
and neuroscience, the profession is now widely recognized as a science,[8][not in citation
given]allowing numerous universities to offer Master-of-Science (MSc) programs.

The process of marketing is that of bringing a product to market. As such, the steps include,
broad market research; market targeting and market segmentation; determining distribution,
pricing and promotion strategies; developing a communications strategy; budgeting; and
visioning long-term market development goals. Many parts of the marketing process (e.g.
product design, Art direction, Brand management, advertising, Copywriting etc.) involve use of
the creative arts.
The Research & Development activities are focused on Process Improvement of Yield and
Quality, Development of Active Ingredients and Toll research/Custom Synthesis.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
Introduction – A new product enters the market. The sales are slow and the company actually
usually loses money from set- up cost and marketing the product to “catch on” with its
customers.
Growth -Sales of the product start growing as customers become more aware of the product.
As a product catches on and sales grow more competitors join to take a bite of the action.
Maturity – Sales growth slows as new competitors join the game and most purchasers already
have the product that needs it. Heavy advertising & sales expenses are needed to maintain
sales and profit starts dropping off.
Newer and better product is offered that the customer’s needs in the place of the current
product. Promotion of the product falls off and the product dies.

HRM in shah paperplast Industries Ltd. Following gives us brief idea about human resource
management at shah paperplast .
Human resources is used to describe both the people who work for a company or organization
and the department responsible for managing resources related to employees. The term human
resources was first coined in the 1960s when the value of labor relations began to garner
attention and when notions such as motivation, organizational behavior, and selection
assessments began to take shape.
16
Human resource management is a contemporary, umbrella term used to describe the
management and development of employees in an organization. Also called personnel or talent
management (although these terms are a bit antiquated), human resource management involves
overseeing all things related to managing an organization’s human capital.Human resource
management is therefore focused on a number of major areas, including:
Recruiting and staffing
Compensation and benefits
Training and learning
Labor and employee relations
Organization development
Due to the many areas of human resource management, it is typical for professionals in this field
to possess specific expertise in one or more areas. Just a few of the related career titles for HR
professionals include:
Human resource planning is a process that identifies current and future human resources needs
for an organization to achieve its goals. Human resource planning should serve as a link between
human resource management and the overall strategic plan of an organization. Ageing workers
population in most western countries and growing demands for qualified workers in developing
economies have underscored the importance of effective human resource planning.
As defined by Bulla and Scott, human resource planning is 'the process for ensuring that the
human resource requirements of an organization are identified and plans are made for satisfying
those requirements. Reilly defined (workforce planning) as: 'A process in which an organization
attempts to estimate the demand for labor and evaluate the size, nature and sources of supply
which will be required to meet the demand Human resource planning includes creating an
employer brand, retention strategy, absence management strategy, flexibility strategy, (talent
management) strategy, (recruitment) and selection strategy.
Before they start about hiring, they make plan about basic staffing plan. This plan short out how
many employees they expect hire, the type of employees they are looking for, and what they will
be expected to do. This plan should also address how the employee expenses will be covered.
They are following very simple process of recruitment. As per the need of employee’s
requirement, departmental head recruit the person for the job vacancy. There systematic
procedure comprising four stages: an assessment of whether the vacancy needs to be filled, a job
analysis, the production of the job description and a person specification. They are using
different formal and in formal method for selection process. So they follow simple process of
selection.

exporter providing for payment upon presentation of certain document, such as a bill of
lading.

Return on assets 0.025 %
INTERPRETATION OF RATIOS
Current ratio: - Current ratio expresses the extent to which the current liabilities of a business
are covered by its current assets. A current ratio of 2 would mean that current assets are
sufficient to cover for twice the amount of a company's short term liabilities. Here the current
ratio of MIL is 1.78 in 2012-13 which decreases in year 2013-14 and comes to
1.65 but the company soon recovered and improve the ratio in year2014-15 and in year 2015-16
is 2.18 and 2.36 respectively.
Quick ratio: - Quick ratio shows the extent of cash and other current assets that are readily
convertible into cash in comparison to the short term obligations of an organization. A quick
ratio of 0.5 would suggest that a company is able to settle half of its current liabilities
instantaneously. For MIL the ratio in year 2012-13 is 1.11, in year 2013-14 it slightly decreases
to 0.96 but next two years it recover and reaches to 1.75 and 1.14 in year 2014-15 and 2015-16
respectively.
Return on shareholder’s fund: - it is used to measure the overall profitability of the company
from preference and common stockholders’ point of view. The ratio also indicates the efficiency
of the management in using the resources of the business. Higher ratio means higher return on
shareholders’ investment and a lower ratio indicates otherwise. Investors always search for the
highest return on their investment. The ratio is 3.50%, 9.05%, 20.23% and 18.23% for last five
years.
29
Debt-to-equity ratio:-Debt-to-equity ratio quantifies the proportion of finance attributes to debt
and equity. Debt-to-equity ratio which is low, say 0.1, would suggest that the company is not
fully utilizing the cheaper source of finance (i.e. debt) whereas a debt-to-equity ratio that is high,
say 0.9, would indicate that the company is facing a very high financial risk. For year 2012-13
the ratio of MIL is 0.017and for 2013-14 is 0.015. it is increased in last two years which is 0.39
and 0.31 for year 2014-15 and 2015-16 respectively.
Proprietary ratio: - proprietary ratio shows the contribution of stockholders’ in total capital of
the company. A high proprietary ratio, therefore, indicates a strong financial position of the
company and greater security for creditors. A low ratio indicates that the company is already
heavily depending on debts for its operations. For MIL the ratio in the year 2012-13 is 69.03%,
next year it rise to 72.89% and in the year 2014-15 it is 71.43% which further increase in year
2015-16 to 75.80%.
Net Profit Ratio: - Net Profit Ratio is the percentage of net profit relative to the revenue earned
during a period. In MIL net profit ratio is increasing over the years. It is 2.17%, 3.85%, 8.62%
and 11.50% for last four years.
Interest Coverage Ratio: - Interest Coverage Ratio indicates the capacity of an organization to
pay its interest obligations. An interest cover of 2 implies that the entity has sufficient
profitability to bear twice the amount of its current finance cost. This ratio is0.15 in year 2012-
13, 1.52 in year 2013-14, 3.16 in year 2014-15 and 3.80 in year 2015-16.
The Return on Assets (ROA):- this ratio shows the relationship between earnings and asset
base of the company. The higher the ratio, the better it is. This is because a higher ratio would
indicate that the company can produce relatively higher earnings in comparison to its asset base
i.e. more capital efficiency. In 2012-13 the ratio is o.015%, in next year it increases to 0.035%.
In year 2014-15 the ratio is 0.092% and 0.090% in 2015-16.
Inventory turnover ratio: - it is a ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold
and replaced over a period of time. Inventory turnover is a measure of how efficiently a company
can control its merchandise, so it is important to have a high turn. This shows the company does
not overspend by buying too much inventory and wastes resources by storing non-saleable
inventory. the ratio in 2012-13 is 3.06 and decrease in next year to 2.90. in year 2014-15 the ratio
is again 3.06 and again decrease in 2015-16 to 2.40.
Return on capital employed ratio: - it measures the efficiency with which the investment made
by shareholders and creditors is used in the business. Managers use this ratio for various
financial decisions. It is a ratio of overall profitability and a higher ratio is, therefore, better. for
last four years the ratio is 0.02, 0.04, 0.14 and 0.13.
Earnings per share (EPS) ratio: - it measures how many dollars of net income have been
earned by each share of common stock. Earnings per share (EPS) are the portion of a company's
profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Earnings per share serves as an
30
indicator of a company's profitability. The EPS ratio of company is 10.92 in 2012-13, 31.01 in
2013-14, 86.66 in 2014-15, and in 2015-16 it is 95.48.
Asset turnover ratio: - it is the ratio of a company's sales to its assets. It is an efficiency ratio
which tells how successfully the company is using its assets to generate revenue.
If a company can generate more sales with fewer assets it has a higher turnover ratio which tells
it is a good company because it is using its assets efficiently. A lower turnover ratio tells that the
company is not using its assets optimally. Total asset turnover ratio is a key driver of return on
equity. MIL have the ratio in 2012-13 is 1.03 which increases in next year to 1.11 and in year
2014-15 it is 0.84.
From the view of balance sheet and profit and loss account, we can clearly see that company has
good financial position. From the year 2012-13 financial position of the company is growing up
& companies graph is continuously increasing. The last years financial data shows healthy
position of the company.
Every student doing professional course needs to undertake summer internship training in his
respective field, which give us a chance to explore our skill and suit us in the work environment.
The objective of the internship is to benefit both the students working as interns as well
as the company for which the students are working. The student gets to learn the basics of
their education. The internship period, also helps a student to judge himself, whether he
or she would be able to adjust in the corporate environment or not.

opportunity to gain valuable industry related experience that would allow me to expand
my career options.

PART 2:- PROJECT STUDY
INTRODUCTION
To be more accurate, the term ‘capital structure’, or financial structure, or financial plan of a
company refers to the composition of the long-term sources of funds.
The term ‘leverage’ is also used to refer to the proportion of different long-term sources of funds
to the total capitalisation of the firm.
There are numerous factors, both qualitative and quantitative, including the subjective judgment,
of financial managers which conjointly determine a firm’s capital structure. We may now briefly
discuss the key factors governing a firm’s capital structure decisions.
1. Profitability:
The key word in capital structure is leverage. It can be defined as the employment of an asset or
sources of funds for which the firm has to incur a fixed cost or pay a fixed sum (as the return per
period).
Operating v. Financial:
Leverage is of two types ‘operating’ and ‘financial’. The leverage associated with investment (or
acquisition of assets) activities is referred to as operating leverage, while leverage associated
with financing activities is called financial leverage. In general, the higher the level of (EBIT)
and the lower the chance of downward fluctuation the larger the amount of debt that can be
employed.
2. Liquidity:
The analysis of the cash flow ability of the firm to service fixed charges is of considerable
importance to carry out capital structure planning.
33
In other words, it indicates the number of times the fixed financial requirements are covered by
the net cash inflows. The higher the coverage ratio the larger the amount of debt (and other
sources of funds carrying a fixed rate of interest) that a firm can use.
3. Control:
Another consideration in planning the types of funds to use is the attitude of existing
management towards control. Lenders have no direct voice in the management of a company. In
most cases, the power to choose the management team rests with the equity holders.
Accordingly, if the main objective of management is to maintain control, they may like to have a
greater weight-age for debt and preference share in additional capital requirements. This is so
because by obtaining funds through them the management sacrifices little or no control.
4. Competitive Parity:
Another factor determining a company’s optimal capital structure is the debt-equity ratios of
other companies belonging to the same industry and facing a similar business risk. The rationale
here is that the debt-equity ratios appropriate for other firms in a similar line of business should
be appropriate for the company (under consideration) as well. The use of industry standards
provides a benchmark.
If a firm is deviating from its optimal capital structure, the market will give a red signal to the
management that there is something wrong in the company’s debt-equity mix. If the firm is out
of line, it should identify the causes of such deviation and be satisfied that the reasons are
genuine
periodic fluctuations, the firm should have a low degree of financial leverage. Such firms will
always have high operating leverage.
6. Timing of Issue:
The question of timing of issue is also of considerable importance in determining a company’s
capital structure. It is often possible to make substantial savings through proper timing of
security issues. It is in the Tightness of things to make public offering at a time when the state of
the economy as well as the capital market is ideal for providing the required funds.
However, timing should not be the only consideration. “Timing analysis, for example, may
suggest use of debt. But the company cannot go in for debt if its existing capital structure is
already overloaded with debt.
34
7. Characteristics of the Company:
The nature and characteristics of the company in terms of its size, capital structure and goodwill
(credit-standing) also play a very important role in determining the share of old securities and
equity in its capital structure.
In general, firms enjoying a higher credit-standing among investors and lenders in the capital
market are in a better position to get funds from their choicest sources. If the credit-standing is
poor, the firm has limited choice regarding acquisition of funds.
Limited Liability:
The liability of the members of the company is limited to contribution to the assets of the
company upto the face value of shares held by him. A member is liable to pay only the uncalled
money due on shares held by him. If the assets of the firm are not sufficient to pay the liabilities
of the firm, the creditors can force the partners to make good the deficit from their personal
assets. This cannot be done in the case of a company once the members have paid all their dues
towards the shares held by them in the company.
Perpetual Succession:
A company does not cease to exist unless it is specifically wound up or the task for which it was
formed has been completed. Membership of a company may keep on changing from time to time
but that does not affect life of the company. Insolvency or Death of member does not affect the
existence of the company.
Separate Property:
A company is a distinct legal entity. The company's property is its own. A member cannot claim
to be owner of the company's property during the existence of the company.
Transferability of Shares:
Shares in a company are freely transferable, subject to certain conditions, such that no share-
holder is permanently or necessarily wedded to a company. When a member transfers his shares
to another person, the transferee steps into the shoes of the transferor and acquires all the rights
of the transferor in respect of those shares.

Common Seal:
A company is an artificial person and does not have a physical presence. Thus, it acts through its
Board of Directors for carrying out its activities and entering into various agreements. Such
contracts must be under the seal of the company. The common seal is the official signature of the
company. The name of the company must be engraved on the common seal. Any document not
bearing the seal of the company may not be accepted as authentic and may not have any legal
force.
Separate Management:
A company is administered and managed by its managerial personnel i.e. the Board of Directors.
The shareholders are simply the holders of the shares in the company and need not be necessarily
the managers of the company.

LITERATURE REVIEW
(1).This theory also has been suggested by Durand David (1952)1, but is exactly opposite to Net
Income Theory (NI). According to this theory, the overall cost of capital remains constant to
various levels of debt in the Capital Structure. Anincrease in the level of debt increases the level
of risk for the shareholders and they start expecting higher returns to compensate the higher
risks. The increase in the equity capitalization rate offsets the advantage of cheaper debt and thus
the overall cost of capital remains the same. This suggests that the Capital Structure decision of a
firm is irrelevant and the firm cannot change the overall cost of capital by changing the mix of
debt and equity. The overall value ofthe firm is independent ofits Capital Structure decision.
(2).This theory is similar to Net Operating Income Theory. According to Modigliani & Miller
(1958)2, Capital Structure of a firm does not determine its market value implying that the Capital
Structure decision is irrelevant. The cost of capital and value offirm are constant for all degrees
ofleverage. The cost of equity rises exactly to offset the advantage ofreduced cost of debt and
thus value offirm remains constant and unaffected by its Capital Structure. With no taxes, the cut
offrate for investment purpose is completely unaffected by the Capital Structure and will be
equal to its weighted average cost of capital. This theory is based on assumptions of a perfect
capital market, no transaction costs, homogeneous risk class i.e. all investors have homogeneous
expectations, firms can be grouped into equivalent risk classes on the basis of risk in term of
expected earnings, no corporate taxes and dividend payout ratio expected to be hundred percent.
(3).Modigliani and Miller (1963)3 revised their earlier theory by considering the implication of
corporate taxes on the Capital Structure. They recognized that on account ofthe tax savings
generated due to debt, the value of a levered firm will be higher than unlevered firm. With
introducing debt in the Capital Structure, the cost of equity will rise but at a lesser rate than what
it have been in absence of taxes. The optimal Capital Structure will be the one at which the
firm’s value is maximum and 18 the overall cost of capital is minimum. This can be achieved
with hundred percent debt financing. This theory is similar to Net Income Theory.
(4).Soloman Ezra (1963)4 suggested that a firm can reduce the overall cost of capital and
increase the total value of firm by increasing the proportion of debt funds in its Capital Structure,
but only up to a certain level. Any increase in debt beyond a particular point may result in an
increase in cost of equity. Through ajudicious use of debt and equity mix, a firm can reduce its
overall cost of capital and increase the value of firm. Soloman Ezra (1963)4 summarized the
result of change in the debt equity mix on the total value of firm.
(5).Durand David (1952)1, who advocated this theory suggested that a firm can increase the
value of the firm and reduce the overall cost of capital by increasing the proportion of debt in its
Capital Structure to the maximum possible extent. The Net Income Theory is based on the
assumptions that there are no taxes, the cost of debt is cheaper than the cost of equity and the use
of debt does not change the risk perception of investors. By increasing the proportion of debt
funds in its Capital Structure, a firm can reduce its overall cost of capital, leading to an increase
in value of firm. The optimum Capital Structure of a firm will be attained when the firm is
financed with 100% debt and at that point the value of the firm will be maximum and overall
cost of capital minimum.

OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY
Capital structure is the proportion of debt and equity financing of a firm. It indicates how the
company operation of a business is financed. A firm with significantly more debt than equity is
regarded as highly leveraged. Vice versa, a firm with significantly more equity than debt is
considered to be low leveraged. Debt finance is usually cheaper and preferred than equity
finance. This is because debt finance is safer from a debt holder’s point of view. Interest has to
be paid before dividend. In the incident of liquidation, debt finance is paid before equity. This
makes debt a safer investment than equity and hence, debt holders demand a lower rate or return
than equity investors. Debt interest is also corporation tax deductible (unlike equity dividends),
making it even cheaper to a tax paying company. Arrangement costs are generally lower on debt
finance than equity finance and likewise, unlike equity arrangement costs, they are also tax
deductible. Although debt is attractive because of its cheap costs, its disadvantage is that interest
has to be paid. If it is over-borrowed, the company may not be able to obligate the interest and
principal payments and thus, liquidation may follow. Therefore, there are bankruptcy costs to be
borne by the company if the company uses debt financing. The level of a company’s borrowings
is usually measured by the gearing ratio (the ratio of debt finance to equity finance) and
companies must make sure that this does not become too high. Comparisons with other
companies in the industry or with the company’s recent history are useful here. 2 Contrary to
debt financing, equity financing is capital provided by the shareholders. It does not have to pay
fixed interest to the shareholders but only pay dividends to shareholders when the company
makes profit from the business. In the event of liquidation, the shareholders will only be paid
after settlement to all debt holders have been made. In this condition, equity capital is riskier for
the investors but constitute a lower financial risk to company because it is not obligated to pay
dividends to its shareholders when the company is not profitable. However, this comes with
price. Firstly, large issues of equity could lead to dilution of EPS if profits from new investments
are not immediate. This may disappoint shareholders and lead to falling share price. Secondly, a
large issue of shares to new equity investors could change the voting control of a business. If the
founding owners hold over 50% of the equity, they may be reluctant to sell new shares to outside
investors, as their voting control at the AGM may be lost. Moreover, if the company raises
equity finance in a period of falling share prices, the price received will be too low and this will
reduce the wealth of the existing owners. In view of the cost and risk involved in debt and equity
financing respectively, it is crucial for the managers to choose a suitable capital structure policy
for their company, as the financial leverage is one of important factors that will impact the
performance of the company. Some empirical studies in Malaysia (Wong, 2004; Suto, 2003)
showed that the capital structure of the firm is negatively related to the performance of
companies in different industries in Malaysia. These results imply to us that proper management
of the capital structure will generate better returns to the company. Therefore, it will be valuable
to managers to know the factors that may impact the capital structure of a firm so that they can
control the determinants of the capital structure to maximize firm’s profit

OUTPUT
INPUT INPUT
OUTPUT OUTPUT
Input Services:
Input Services are services which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of
business. CGST Act has given a very broad based definition for Input Service. Any service used in
the course or furtherance of business, would be classified as Input Service.
Capital Goods:
The definition of Capital Goods is very broad and contains only two conditions which are as
follows:Capital Goods are goods which have been capitalized in the books of account of the person
claiming the credit.Capital goods are goods which are used or intended to be used in the course or
furtherance of business.
Input Goods:
Input means any goods other than capital goods and which are used or intended to be used in the
course or furtherance of business. It is again a very broad based definition and any goods used in the
43
course of furtherance of business, would be classified as Inputs.A business uses Input Services,
Capital Goods and Input Goods other than Capital Goods for adding value to the goods or services
supplied.Thus, credit of the taxes paid on receipt of Input Services, Capital Goods and Input Goods
other than Capital Goods forms the basic foundation upon which the credit structure works.There
needs to be a seamless flow of the Input Tax Credit from one business to another with respect to Input
Services, Capital Goods and Input Goods other than Capital Goods, used or intended to be used in the
course or furtherance of business.
FINDINGS
in the study of Determinants of Capital Structure the study comes out with the summary of the
whole research work. The findings of the research work also discussed and on the basis of
findings, tries to some valuable suggestion also.
This study gives its emerging conclusion based on the analysis carried out and points out the
variation if any from the literature. It also gives concrete suggestions for enhancing profitability
and liquidity for financial soundless, for cost control and liquidity position.
The existing taxations have impelled the rise in the production costs of manufacturing vital
paperplast, which has resulted in the price-hike of the end products and made such goods
unaffordable for gross consumption.
Among all the levies merged, the Basic Customs Duty will be the only taxation exempted by the
Baill and will continue to be charged capital structure implementation. While there aren’t many
drawbacks of enacting the paperplast industry, there are a few aspects that need to be
premeditated prior to the Bill implementation.
