explain in detailgoal setting and reinforcement as technique of motivation

Answer»

Goal setting: Achieving performance goals is a symbol of competency that affects motivation positively, hence it is essential to set realistic goals based on individual’s own abilities. The level of the motivation gets adversely affected when goals are set up too high or too low. The goal should be realistic, precise and within reach but should at the same time be a difficult one.

To fund the projects, the management takes a decision to raise money for long-term capital needs of businesses from certain sources: (i) Identify different sources of long-term capital. (ii) Discuss any five factors that affect the financing decision.

Answer» (i) Sources of long-term capital are as follows:
(a) Equity shares
(b) Preference shares
(c) Debentures
(d) Long-term loans and advances
(e) Retained earnings
(ii) The following factors affect the financing decision:
(a) Cost The cost of all the sources of finance is different. The rate of interest on debt, fixed rate of dividend to be paid on preference share capital and the expectations of the shareholders on the equity share capital are in the form of costs. If the situations happen to be favourable, the benefit of cheap finance can be availed of by choosing debt capital.
(b) Risk Debt capital is most risky and from the point of view of risk, it should not be used.
(c) Flotation cost From the point of view of floating costs, retained profit is the most appropriate source. Therefore, its use should be made.
(d) Cash flow position If the cash flow position of the company is good, the payment of interest on the debt and the refund of capital can be easily made. Therefore, in order to take advantage of cheap finance, debt can be given priority.
(e) Level of fixed operating costs
In business, there are mainly two types of costs which are as follows:
Fixed operating cost e.g. Rent of the building, payment of salary, insurance premium, etc.
Fixed financial cost e.g. Interest on debt, etc. If the level of fixed operating costs is in excess, it is better to keep the fixed financial costs at the minimum. Therefore, debt capital should not be used. On the contrary, if the level of fixed operating cost is low, the use of debt capital is more profitable.

Pranav, who is engaged in transport business, wants to diversify and expand his business. Identify the factors that would be considered for determining the working capital requirements of the business, stating suitable reasons.

Answer» The various factors that will affect the working capital requirement of the business are:
(i) Nature of business The basic nature of a business influences the amount of working capital. A trading organisation and a service industry firm usually needs a smaller amount of working capital as compared to a manufacturing organisation.
(ii) Scale of operations Organisations which operate on a large scale, their quantum of inventory and debtors required is generally high. Such organisations, therefore, require large amount of working capital as compared to the organisations which operate on a lower scale.
(iii) Business cycle Different phases of business cycles affect the requirement of working capital by a firm. In case of a boom, the sales as well as production are likely to be larger and, therefore, larger amount of working capital is required.
As against this, the requirement for working capital will be lower during the period of depression, since the sales as well as production will be less.
(iv) Seasonal factors Some of the businesses have seasonal operations. In peak season, larger amount of working capital is required because of higher level of activity. As against this, the level of activity as well as the requirement for working capital will be lower during the lean season.
(v) Production cycle Production cycle is the time span between the receipt of raw material and their conversion into finished goods. Some businesses have a longer production cycle while some have a shorter one. Duration and the length of production cycle affect the amount of funds required for raw materials and expenses.
(vi) Credit allowed Different firms allow different credit terms to their customers. These depend upon the level of competition that a firm faces as well as the credit worthiness of their clientele. A liberal credit policy results in higher amount of debtors, increasing the requirement of working capital.
