Aval Ltd. is engaged in the business of the export of canvas goods and bags. In the past, the performance of the company was above expectations. In line with the latest demand in the market, the company decided to venture into leather goods for which it required specialized machinery. For this, the Finance Manager Prabhu prepared a financial blueprint for the organization's future operations to estimate the amount of funds required and the timings with the objective to ensure that enough funds are available at the right time. He also collected the relevant data about the profit estimates for the coming years. By doing this, he wanted to be sure about the availability of funds from the internal sources of the business. For the remaining funds, he is trying to find alternative sources from outside. The company is willing to go for a public issue of shares and debentures to be made under SEBI guidelines. Public issue of shares and debentures requires considerable outlay of funds too. Due to extensive operations, the manager is of the viewpoint that a company may have to ensure that earnings before interest and taxes of a company should cover the interest obligation. The manager also felt that the cash profits generated by the operations need to be compared with the total cash required for the service of the debentures and the preference share capital.

Arun wants to open a retail mart. He is thinking over the selection of the best financing alternative. He made an estimation that Rs. 40 lakhs, is an adequate amount of money to start the venture. He is planning to finance the business by investing Rs. 25 lakhs of his own money and the rest would be financed by debts. He is very careful about the future cash-flow in the business because the cost of raising funds from external sources is significant. He is working out to ensure that enough funds are available at the right time. If adequate funds are not available, the firm will not be able to honour its commitments and carry out its plans. On the other hand, if excess funds are available, it will unnecessarily add to the cost and may encourage wasteful expenditure. Since it will be a trading business, it needs lower investment in fixed assets. Since Arun is planning to initiate the business from a small level, the quantum of inventory and debtors required is generally low.
