A company is said to be in existence, if it is registered as per the Companies Act, 2013. In order to get a company registered, some documents need to be provided to the Registrar of Companies.

There are several steps involved in the registration phase, and are as follows:

  1. Memorandum of Association: A memorandum of association (MoA) must be signed by the founders of the company. A minimum of 7 members are required in case of a public company and 2 in case of a private company. The MoA must be properly registered and stamped.
  2. Article of Association: Article of Association (AoA) is also required to be signed and submitted. All members who previously signed MoA, should also be signing the AoA.
  3. The next step is preparing a list of directors which should be filed with the Registrar of Companies.
  4. Directors of the company should provide a written consent agreeing to be directors, should be filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
  5. The notice of address of the office needs to be filed.
  6. A statutory declaration should be made by any advocate of either the High Court or Supreme Court, or a person of the capacity of Director, Secretary or Managing Director. This declaration shall be filed with the RoC.

Certificate of Incorporation: Certificate of incorporation is issued when the registrar is satisfied with the documents provided. This certificate validates the establishment of the company in the records.

Certificate of commencement of business: Certificate of commencement of business is required for a public company to start doing business, while a private company can start business once it has received the certificate of incorporation.

Public companies receiving the certificate of incorporation can issue prospectus in order to make the public subscribe to the share for raising capital. Once all the minimum number of required shares have been subscribed, a letter should be sent to the registrar along with a bank document stating the receiving of the money.

The registrar will issue a certificate upon finding the provided documents satisfactory. This certificate is known as certificate of commencement of business. The company can start business activities from the date of issue of the certificate and the business shall be done as per rules laid down in the MoA (Memorandum of Association).

Vansh Limited is a large and reputed company which manufactures ventilators. After the outbreak of ‘COVID-19’ in 2020 the company witnessed an increase in revenue by 40%. It has plans to further increase its production capacity and also start production of PPE kits, sanitisers and masks in 2022. The Finance manager of the Company Mr. Rajiv feels confident about the future of the company and its liquidity position. Discuss the meaning of Dividend Decision and in the light of the above statement explain any two factors which should be considered by ‘Vansh Limited’ while formulating the dividend policy of the company.ORVedansh Limited has a share capital of ₹10,00,000 divided into shares of ₹100 each .For expansion purpose ,the company requires additional funds of ₹ 5,00,000 . The management is considering the following alternatives for raising funds : Alternative 1: Issue of 5000 Equity shares of ₹100 each Alternative 2: Issue of 10% Debentures of Rs. 5,00,000The company’s present Earnings Before Interest and Tax ( EBIT) is ₹4,00,000 p.a. Assuming that the rate of Return of Investment remains the same after expansion, which alternative should be used by the company in order to maximise the returns to the equity shareholders. The Tax rate is 50%. Show the working.

Answer»

Dividend decision: The decision involved here is how much of the profit earned by the company (after paying tax) is to be distributed to the shareholders and how much of it should be retained in the business.

Factors affecting Dividend decision:

1. Amount of Earnings: Dividends are paid out of current and past earnings. Therefore, earnings are a major determinant of the decision about dividend. 

2. Growth Opportunities: Companies having good growth opportunities retain more money out of their earnings so as to finance the required investment. The dividend in growth companies is, therefore, smaller, than that in the non– growth companies. 

3. Cash Flow Position: The payment of dividend involves an outflow of cash. A company may be earning profit but may be short on cash. Availability of enough cash in the company is necessary for declaration of dividend. 

4. Access to Capital Market: Large and reputed companies generally have easy access to the capital market and, therefore, may depend less on retained earnings to finance their growth. These companies tend to pay  higher dividends than the smaller companies which have relatively low access to the market.

OR

Rate of Return of Investment is 4,00,000/10,00,000 X 100=40%

EBIT after expansion = 40% X 15,00,000=6,00,000 

Calculation of EPS

                   Plan 1                         Plan 2

EBIT          6,00,000                    6,00,000

(-)Interest        -                            50,000

EBT           6,00,000                   5,50,000

(-)Tax(50%)  3,00,000                  2,75,000

EAT.                  3,00,000             2,75,000

No. Of shares.   15000.                  10000

EPS.                        20                  27.5

The company should use Plan 2 in order to increase the return to the equity shareholders.

Clearing is a fundamental benefit in the futures markets. Long before a trade is cleared through a clearing house, clearing firms check the financial strength of both parties to the trade, whether they’re a big institution or an individual trader.

  2. Equality in Voting Right: The cooperative societies are governed by the principle of ‘one man one vote’. Each member has equal voting right irrespective of his capital contribution in the society. 
  3. Limited Liabilities: The members have limited liability to the extent to the capital contributed by them. Therefore, they cannot be held personally liable for the payment of debts. 
  4. Economy in Operations: As the focus is on elimination of middlemen, this helps in reducing costs. The customers or producers themselves are members of the society. So, there is no risk of bad debts.
  5. Ease of Formation: Minimum 10 members are required to form a cooperative society. The procedure for the registration of the society is very simple and involves a few legal formalities.

  3. Lack of Secrecy: The Cooperative Societies Act 1912 has made it compulsory for the societies to make their accounts public and to discuss their operations in the meeting of the members. This makes it difficult for the societies to maintain secrecy of their operations. 
  4. Government Control: In return for the benefits provided to the cooperative societies, the government imposes various rules and regulations related to auditing to accounts, submission of accounts and also interferes in their working. Sometimes these regulations affect the freedom in operation of the society.

“No business is risk free.” Do you agree? Justify your answer. Explain the cause of business risk.

Answer»

Yes, we agree. We cannot think of any business which is risk free. You start a general store—the simplest business. There is a risk of things you buy getting wasted due to changes in demand pattern. You start a garments shop, fashion may change making your stock a waste and so on. There is not even a single business where there is no risk.
