What are retained profits? Discuss their advantages and disadvantages as a source of finance.

Answer» Retained Profits: For any company, the amount of earnings retained within the business has a direct impact on the amount of dividends. Profit re-invested as retained earnings is profit that could have been paid as a dividend. The management of many companies believes that retained earnings are funds which do not cost anything, although this is not true. However, it is true that the use of retained earnings as a source of funds does not lead to a payment of cash. The dividend policy of the company is in practice determined by the directors. From their standpoint, retained earnings are an attractive source of finance because investment projects can be undertaken without involving either the shareholders or any outsiders. The use of retained earnings as opposed to new shares or debentures avoids issue costs. The use of retained earnings avoids the possibility of a change in control resulting from an issue of new shares. Another factor that may be of importance is the financial and taxation position of the company’s shareholders. For example, because of taxation considerations, they would rather make a capital profit (which will only be taxed when shares are sold) than receive current income, and then finance through retained earnings would be preferred to other methods.Advantages of Retained Earnings\tThe management of many companies believe that retained earnings are funds which do not cost anything, although this is not true.

Disadvantages of HUF

Answer» Disadvantages of the HUF\tNo outside members other than family members can be introduced to the HUF. This makes it very difficult to get additional capital from the\xa0market.

This may make him overly cautious and timid in his business dealings. In turn, the business could suffer. Another factor is that he may even be held responsible for the actions of other members.\tAlso, the absolute dominance of the Karta overall business and financial decisions make cause conflict among the HUF. His decisions and business acumen may be questioned by other members, and cause issues within the HUF.\tAnother issue may be that the Karta may not be the most qualified person to lead the\xa0business. The position is given to the senior most family member, whether he is the most qualified or not is not taken into consideration.
