1.1 INTRODUCTION
Business decisions may be based upon “intuition” or upon an intelligent analysis of
factual data. There is no formula for analysis. Much depends on the purpose of analysis, the
nature of analysis and exclusiveness of significant conclusions.
There are three basic steps in the analysis of business problem;
1. Breakdown the figure into classification so that one can compare the past of the whole to
each other and
2. Compare with significant outside factors and thus determine their relationship
3. This permits one to determine the reason for relat5ionship thus making possible
understanding of essential nature of the situation and findings of solution to the problems
involved in the situation.
From the above view point the researcher of this project makes an attempt in analyzing
the capital structure planning by breaking down the figures into classifications to compare the
parts of the whole to each other. This project taken up to strengthen the academic of the project
Cost of Capital Analysis
The impact of changes in the capital structure on the cost of capital analysis and the
profitability is analyzed as capital structure decisions are not taken in isolation. They are largely
influenced by their twin factors of minimizing the cost of capital and maximizing the returns.
Thus the cost of capital is the combination of various specific costs which are discussed below.
Cost of Equity
Equity capital like other sources of funds does not certainly involve a cost of the firm. It
may be recalled that the objectives of the financial management is to maximize the shareholders
wealth and maximization of market price of shares in the operational substitute for wealth
maximization. When equity shareholders invest their funds, they also except returns in the form
of dividends.
The market value of shares is a function of the returns that the shareholders except and
get. Thus in order to evaluate the capital structure of the firm it is necessary to know the cost of
capital of the company.
1
Cost of Debt
Cost of debt describes about the cost of raising finance from long term funds or
outsider’s fund. Thus an optimum amount of dent in the capital structure of the firm may reduce
its costs. However over utilization of debt may increase the interest payments of the company.
Debt of a firm is predominated figure in the capital structure and so there lays the
essentiality to calculate the cost of debt to derive at optimum capital structure.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Weighted average cost of capital is the composition of specific cost of capital lays cost
of equity and cost of debt. The overall cost of capital helps the company to analyze the overall
efficiency of the company. It describes the overall cost of capital of the company. Thus it is a
technique to measure the capital structure of the company.
Capital Structure
Given the objectives of the firm to maximize the value of its equity shares, the firm
should select the best mix of the equity and debt capital structure refers to the composition of
long term sources of funds such as debentures, long term debt, preference share capital and
equity including reserves and surplus. Optimum or balanced capital structure means an ideal
combination of borrowed and owned capital that may attain the marginal goal (i.e.) maximizing
the value of shareholders.
The choice of amount of debt and equity is made after comparison of certain
characteristics of each kind of security of internal factors related to the firms operations and
external factors that affect the firm. Thus the capital structure of the company may be a
combination of debt and equity leads to the maximum value of the firm.
Objective of Capital Structure
In context of the optimum capital structure, the firm may be faced with the problem of
mixing the equity securities and debt securities.
1. Payment of high interest.
2. Higher control of equity shareholders.
Thus optimum capital structure is decided on the basis of two danger points.
2
Tools and Techniques of Capital Structure
Companies do not plan their capital structure may prospect in short run but ultimately
they will face series problem in f\raising funds to meet their additional financial requirements in
future.
Whenever the financial manager considers the question of capital structure, it is always
the question of capital structure (i.e.) to decide the proportion of ownership funds and borrowed
funds. So the study was made to analyze the capital structure of the company using various
tools.
Ratio Analysis
One approach to analyze the capital structure of the firm is to make the comparison of
the ratios of the firm. Comparison is helpful as it is acts as a red signal to the management that
there may be something wrong with the capital structure of the company.
Ratio shows the significant relationship between figures shown in the Balance Sheet, in
Profit and Loss account or in any other part of accounting organization. Ratios are the best guide
for execution of basic managerial function like planning, forecasting and controlling.

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Milk is considered as a complete and ideal food and it contains most of the proximate
principles of a well balanced diet. India is the world’s largest milk producer and in set to
become the world’s largest food factory. Indian dairy industry embarked on recent innovation
technology by having a wide ranging impact on the growth of the industry.

college life. Skipped meals and unhealthy eating habits can short change essential nutrients of
our body. Healthy eating not only made us look and feel good, but also make our body and for
the future.
Increasing our daily milk consumption will not help us on the calcium front, but also
help balance our diet and keep it nutrients rich. Consumption of three glass of Milma milk
everyday for the strong bones, good looks and a sharp mind.

Hill Publishing Co. Ltd, 1997
18
Provide the theoretical framework that links capital structure and market structure.
Contrary to the project maximization objective postulated in industrial organization literature,
these theories like the corporate finance theory, assumes that the firm’s objective is to maximize
the wealth of the shareholders and show that the market structure affects the capital structure by
influencing the competitive behaviour and strategies of the firm. Firms in the oligopolistic
market will follow the strategy of maximizing their output for improving profitability in
favourable economic condition. In unfavorable economic conditions, they would take a cut in
production and reduce their profitability.
Jensen and Mocking2
Argue that the shareholder’s lender’s conflict results into risk shifting and wealth
appropriation in favour of shareholders as they take on risky investment projects (assets
substitution). Hence, shareholders and managers as their agents are prompted on to take on more
borrowing to finance. Risky project venders would receive interest and principal if project
succeed and shareholders would appropriate the residual income finance corporate theory that
justifies the use of high debt is the tax-shield theory.
Modigliani and Miller (1963)3
Profitability firms borrow more to save taxes since interest cost are tax deductible. The
output maximization by oligopoly firms is supposed to increase their profitability. Hence, both
the Agency Cost theory and tax-shield theory would predict a positive relationship between
capital structure and market structure. Capital structure increases the chances of financial
distress and bankruptcy. Firms face cost of financial distress when they are unable to service
debt. They will have high debt ratios if these costs are zero or trivial.

Since cost of financial distress are trivial and high levered firm can actually go
bankrupt, firms with high probability of bankrupt will have low debt ratio. The chances of
bankruptcy for firms with large reserve funds will be relatively less but, unleveled firms with
high profitability and large reserve funds would have great competitive advantage. These firms
with deep purse may not survive but they would also gain by driving their rival firms into
bankrupt.
Bolton and Scharfstein (1990)5
These firms follow a policy of aggressive production and predatory price cuts to
eliminate their rivals by forcing them into financial distress. Their strategy pays them off
particularly when external funding is not available to the firms of the target predatory price
behaviour. The implication of this model is that the unleveled firm with deep purses (high
profitability and reserve funds) would have incentive to increase output to drive the competitors
into bankruptcy. Empirically, we can predict a negative relationship between capital structure
and market structure.
Myres (1977)6
Provide a model under which debt causes under-investment (asset substitution). Firms
reject those profitable, low risk investment projects that have the possibility of passing on
benefits from shareholders to lenders. Further, internal financing is cheaper than external
financing due to asymmetric information. Higher debt makes higher output costly for a levered
firm. There are a few empirical studies that have investigated the issues of capital structure and
market structure using the data of the U.S firms.

Provide evidence in support of a negative relationship between capital structure and
market structure. This result is consistent with the bankruptcy cost or the asymmetric
information / pecking order hypothesis.
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research
Research is common pestilence refers to search for knowledge. Once can also define
research as a scientific and systematic search for a pertinent information on a specific topic. In
fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. Redman and Mary define research as a
“systematic effort to gain new knowledge”.
21
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical
sense. According to Clifford Woody, “research comprises defining redefining problems,
formulation of hypothesis, collecting, organizing and evaluating data, making deductions and
research conclusion and at last carefully testing the conclusion to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis”.
Research Design
A research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in
a means that aims relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. In this study
the analytical research is followed.

4. DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
4.1 Ratio
4.1.1 Debt Equity Ratio
This financing of the total assets of the business concern is done by owner’s
equity (also known as internal equity) as well as outsider’s debt (also known as outsider’s
equity). How much fund has been provided by the owner’s and how much by the outsiders in
the acquisition of the total assets is a very significant factor affecting the long term solvency
position of the concern.

Interpretation
The debt equity ratio was 3.29 in the year 2008-2009. It indicates long term debt is high
compare than shareholder fund but it was decreased during the next year. The lower proportion
of debt provides a higher margin of safety for them.
