18. Wealth Maximization
• This is also known as Value Maximisation or Net Present Worth Maximization.
• Value is represented by the market price of the company’s Equity Shares.
• Shareholders Wealth can be calculated by the following formula:
Shareholders Wealth=No. of equity shares outstanding X Market Price of
Shares
Hence , the higher the share price per share the greater will be the shareholders
wealth.
Thus, a firm should aim at maximizing its current share price.

34. Case Study 1
A medium-sized engineering firm with an annual return of over
Rs. 25 lakhs before interest and tax has decided to install a new
piece of machinery to help improve its productivity. The
equipment needs to be housed in a new building to be construed
on the site.
The forecast of the building is Rs. 50 lakhs and the
equipment Rs. 40 lakhs. Firm already issued 12 % Debentures of
Rs. 50 lakhs and Equity Shares Rs. 100 lakhs Face Value Rs. 100
each.
As a manger of finance decide the sources of finance with
appropriate reasons.
35. Solution-Case 1
•
The appropriate source of finance for this case would be to
take 50% from the retained earnings and 50% from the bank
loan.
•
This approach will reduce the number of years to pay back in
installment and will result in less amount of interest to pay
from the amount borrowed.
36. CASE STUDY-2
An individual has been made redundant after 20 years with a major
organization and has received a lump sum redundancy payment of Rs.
70,000.
The individual is planning to set up a bookmakers and has identified a
suitable premises valued at Rs. 180,000 near to a major town centre
shopping zone.
As a financial consultant advise the person to take appropriate steps.
37. Case 2- Solution
•
Joint venture will be ideal for this case, as the individual has a
capital sum of Rs. 70,000 and another partner will put in a capital
and will be able to borrow a smaller amount of money from the
bank.
• The advantage for joint venture is that the risk is spread, advice
will be bought in through experience and the company will be
able to bring expertise for higher growth and for long term basis.
• And the disadvantage for is that profits will be shared with a
shareholder.
• On the other hand the disadvantage of the bank loan will be that
the bank may not be able to provide a loan due to the
redundancy; unless the owner provides good business strategy
plan which will forecast to give a good return and also owns an
assets or security i.e. Property, land etc.
38. Case 3

CASE 4
A small news agent in a rural village
centre has decided to purchase a
new
freezer
cabinet
and
oven/roasting unit to provide hot
meals for village workers and for
students at the secondary school
which serves the surrounding area
which is located half a mile from the
village centre. The cost of the units
is £3,500. As a owner of this
business, how and from which
sources you should arrange the
finance?
40. Case 5
Following the construction of a new housing
estate on the outskirts of a major city, a
group of 10 ambitious young professionals
has decided to try to exploit the type of
resident moving into the area by setting up a
gym and health centre on earmarked land
within the development. The building has
been bought by the group for £800,000 but
needs to be furnished and fitted out for the
purpose intended. The cost of the bar,
restaurant and gym facilities is estimated at
£95,000 but the other major cost is the
swimming pool, spa and sauna area. This
could be utilized on a separate project to the
fitness centre as the local council want to
secure use for local school children and
elderly residents - this being part of the
purchase arrangements associated with the
new housing development.
41. Case 6
• A large Public Limited Company is planning on
moving a major part of its production facility to
Pune. It has identified a site near industrial estate at
Pune that is now not used. The estimated cost of the
facility is Rs. 45 lakhs.
42. Case 6-Solution
• A long term bank loan will be suitable to for a large
company planning to move as the estimated cost is Rs.
45 lakhs and share issue will also be ideal as this can
raise capital that can be used for the move, this is a long
term source of finance.
• Shareholders will have to share the control of business,
each share gives the shareholder a vote on the direction
of the company and will spread the risk to the number
of shareholders, and this will also reduce the amount of
loan to borrow from the bank which will also result to
fewer installments and less interest to pay.
