Q.10) BPR Ltd., is a listed company set up by new entrepreneurs for the manufacture of
refractories. Refectory is a consumable which, if not made available to the still industry, would
render operations impossible because it is the refectory which confines the heat inside the
furnace. But unfortunately for the Greenfield promoters, the steel industry world-wide has hit a
trough. The domestic industry, in particular, is being buffered by falling demand growth and
large-scale imports at the same time. BPR which has been in existence for less than year has not
yet achieved the projected first year capacity of 60%.
For above company, state whether you would expect it to distribute high or low
proportion of earnings as dividend and whether you would expect them to have a relatively high

share. The product range consists of a wide range of power driven pumps including submersible
pumps, special pumps for application in fertiliser, chemical and petrochemical industries. The
company paying steady dividends had a turnover growth at an annual Compound Annual Growth
Rate (CAGR) of 28% over the last five years and the company had been maintaining its market
share in spite of the intense competition. But unexpectedly for the current financial year, the
company reported a net loss of over 10 crore. This has mainly been attributed to the loss of a
major order as well as IFL extending credit period to customers.
For above company, state whether you would expect it to distribute high or low proportion of
earnings as dividend and whether you would expect them to have a relatively high or low price
earning ratio.
Q.12) The director of the following Indian company has approached you with their concern for
the current business scenario and future prospects.
Cadbury Products Limited is an established company in the field of dairy products,
chocolates and ice creams. It has a decent track record of dividend, which average @ 40% p.a.
the company has also a good record of bonus issue. The last bonus issue was made in September
2000.
The Company feels that due to the conspiracy hatched by its competition with the help of
widespread network of distributors, the companys product were shown to have been
contaminated and it was also widely shown on the media that under the wrappers of many of
their chocolates and ice cream, there was a layer of fungus and decayed dry fruits. The snaps and
live interview of the consumers complaining about the inferior quality and totally unsafe for
human consumption shouts, drastically brought down the sale in the last quarter of the financial
year 2003-2004.
The directors immediately undertook damage controlling steps and through wide scale
advertisement campaign tried to restore the public confidence. However, the current years

performance is very much lower than the earlier years and any prudent financial consultant
would not recommend dividend more than 20% this year.
The directors are of the opinion that the sale would again pick-up of from the 2nd quarter
of the next year and then will be normal thereafter.
Give your guidance in above case, with special reference to the issues related to
dividend/bonus policy and future share price behaviour on the stock exchange.
Q.13) The director of the following Indian company has approached you with their concern for

Infosys Software Ltd., is a well-established company in the field of software development,
e-service provider and man power consultancy service. Its clientele is mainly in the banking,
airways and transport sector. Almost 60% of the revenue comes from overseas clients. It has
shown a steady growth and progress for last five years and has paid dividend of 15%, 15%, 17%,
20% and 25%, and still a large amount of profits where ploughed back every year. Till December
2003 everything going was smoothly, but all of a sudden the overseas countries having
maximum business associates, saw the rise of anti-outsourcing agitations. The problem got
further aggravated by rupee becoming stronger day-by-day against the US dollar. The company
some how managed to complete the ongoing contract but is not so sure of the future prospectus.
The company is also in the process of finalizing new business ventures with non-affected
countries and also taking steps to expand its operations more in India. The company is hopeful
of getting the better results for all its efforts.

turnover of employees and low volume of companys share on bourses. The young members of
the directors family wish to make the company more dynamic, employee friendly and darling of
shareholders so as to make it most valued one. What steps you would suggest to achieve these
objectives?
