An endeavour has also been made to analyse the impact of operating leverage on profitability of the sampled PSEs under different industries during the period 1999-2000 to 2009-2010 by using the relevant financial data available in the published Annual Reports of the firms concerned. In such an analysis the relationship between operating leverage and profitability has been tried to establish with the application of different statistical tools and techniques. After the analysis of data from different angles some important findings have been extracted, which are the essence of this study for deriving the managerial implications in the way of policy formulation of the management of different firms, which are ultimately helpful to the economic well being of the country as a whole. The entire study has been divided into four sections besides the introductory part. Section-I deals with the theoretical framework of the variables concerned and Section-II covers the Literature Review, Objectives and Methodology. The analyses and findings are presented in Section-III and Section-IV explores the conclusion of the study. Keywords : Operating Leverage, Profitabily, Bottom Line, Sales Elasticity, Return on Capital Employed, Sampled PSEs Regression Analysis, Correlation Analysis.

  • Part -1 Financial Resource Planning
    PART -1 FINANCIAL RESOURCE PLANNING 1 1. INTRODUCTION Whether you are thinking of starting up your own business or if an existing business is thinking of expanding, it is likely that money will be needed. The money needed to start a business is called business finance. Where do businesses get the finance to start a business or to finance expansion? This resource will look at some of the possibilities. When you are working through the resource, remember that some sources of finance will be appropriate for some businesses but not for others. For an individual thinking of setting themselves up as a mobile sandwich van, the sources of finance are going to be quite different to that needed and available by someone like Liverpool Football Club when trying to build a new stadium. Liverpool FC are planning to build a new stadium to replace the famous Anfield stadium. The cost to fund this project will be in the region of £215 million. Raising that sum of money presents different problems to raising the money to pay for setting up a mobile sandwich bar! There are a number of factors to think about when looking at this area of business. We will be looking at the following: 2 An Overview of sources of finance - short term or long term? Short term sources of finance: o Bank overdraft o Trade Credit o Leasing o Bank loans o Credit cards Long term sources of finance: o Bank loans o Share capital o Debentures o Asset sales o Venture capital o Retained profit o Owners' capital o Government, local authority or EU grants 3 2.
