Answers to NCERT Questions

Short Ans type (Page 265)
Q7 Discuss how working capital affecting both liquidity as well as the profitability of a business
Ans
 Working capital is excess of current assets over current liabilities.
More  Investment in current assets helps in increasing the liquidity of business as compared to Fixed assets as these are converted into cash  or cash equivalents  very quickly
Insufficient  Investment in current assets make it more difficult for an organization to meet its payment obligations(decreases Liquidity)
But current assets provide little or no returns  (they contribute less to profit)as compare to fixed assets
Conclusion:
A balance needs to be struck between liquidity and profitability as more working capital increases  liquidity  but  decreases profitability

Long Answer Questions
Q2 Capital Structure decision is essentially optimization of risk-return relationship. Comment
Ans
Capital structure policy involves a trade-off between risk and return.
·         Using more debt raises the riskiness of the firms because payment of  interest and return of principal amount is obligatory for business. Any default in meeting these commitments may force business to go into liquidation
·         But a higher proportion of debt generally leads to a higher expected rate of return for equity shareholders as EPS increases because of Trading on Equity
·          We know that if the debt is increased beyond a point, the higher risk associated with greater debt tends to lower the share price.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the optimal capital structure is the one that strikes a balance between risk and return to achieve our ultimate goal of maximizing the price of the equity shares(Wealth maximization)
