Borrowed Capital.<br><\/mark>Answer: <\/strong>Only owned capital is not sufficient to carry on all business activities of a joint stock company. A company needs borrowed capital to supplement its owned capital. Every trading company is entitled to borrow money.<br> <br> The capital may be borrowed for short, medium or long-term requirements.

Ploughing back of profit.<br><\/mark>Answer:<\/strong> Business organizations are subject to variation in earnings. It would be a wise decision to keep aside a part of earning during a period of high profit. A prudent company does not distribute the entire profit earned among shareholders. A part of profit is retained by company in the form of reserve fund. These reserves are the retained earnings of the company. The sum total of retained earnings gets accumulated over the years. These accumulated profits are reinvested in the business rather than distributed as dividend.<br><br>&#8221;The process of accumulating corporate profits and their utilization in business is called retained earnings.&#8221;<br><br>In simple words, a part of net profit, which is not distributed to shareholders as dividend is retained by company in the form of \u2018Reserve Fund\u2019. The company converts it\u2019s reserves into \u2018bonus share capital\u2019 and capitalises it\u2019s profit. This capitalization of profit b issue of bonus shares is known as ploughing back of profit or self-financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><strong>4.

The interest is determined on the basis of actual amount withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">5. Trade Credit.<\/span><\/strong><br><strong>Answer:<\/strong>  No business can be run without \u2018credit\u2019. Credit is the soul of business. Trade credit financing is major source of short term financing.<br><br>Manufacturers, wholesalers and suppliers of goods or materials are called \u2018trade creditors\u2019. They sell tangible goods to other business concerns on the basis of deferred payment i.e. future payment credit is extended by these business concerns with an intention to increase their sales. The business firm extends credit, also because of custom that has been built up overtime.<br><br>Trade credit is not cash loan. It results from a credit sale of goods\/services, which has to be paid at a future date after the sale takes place. In other words, when goods are delivered by supplier to a customer and the payment is made after some time, it is called as trade credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_Study_the_following_casesituation_and_express_your_opinion\"><\/span>Q.3 Study the following case\/situation and express your opinion.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">(1) The Balance sheet of a Donald Compan for the year 2018-19 reveals equity share capital of Rs. 25,00,000 and retained earnings of Rs. 50,00,000.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>a) Is the company financially sound?<\/strong><br><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Yes, the company is financially sound.

Companies receive fixed deposits from the public for a period ranging from 6 months to 36 months. Such deposits are called as Public Deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Under this method, general public is invited to deposit their savings with the company for varied period. Interest is paid by companies on such deposits. The company issues \u2018Deposit Receipt\u2019 to depositor. The terms of deposit are mentioned in the \u2018Deposit Receipt\u2019. Deposit Receipt is an acknowledgment of debt\/loan by the company. Deposits are either secured or unsecured loans offered to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) As per section 2 (31) of Companies Act, 2013, \u2018deposit\u2019 includes any receipt of money by way of deposit or loan or in any other form by a company but does not include such categories of amount as may be prescribed in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) The above expression has been further elaborated b Rule 2 (1)(c) of Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules 2014. This Rule provides that \u2018deposit\u2019 means any receipt of money, in the form of deposit or loan by a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e) However, \u2018deposit\u2019 does not include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Any amount received from Central Government or a State Government.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any amount received as loan from any banking company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any amount received from foreign government or international banks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any amount received by a company from any other company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any amount raised by issuing commercial paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any amount raised by issue of bonds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any amount received in trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An amount received by way of subscription to any shares or debentures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><strong>2) What is Global Depository Receipt?<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> a) In India, the shares of public company are listed and traded on various stock exchanges like Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) With adoption of free economic policy and due to globalization some of the Indian company&#8217;s shares are also listed and traded on foreign stock exchanges like New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or National Association of Securities Dealer Automated Quotation (NASDAQ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) To list shares on these stock exchanges, company has to comply with policies of those stock exchanges. The policies of these stock exchanges are different than the policies of Indian Stock Exchanges. Therefore, those Indian companies which can not list their shares directly on foreign stock exchanges, get listed indirectly using ADR and GDR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) ADR and GDR are Dollar\/Euro denominated instruments traded in USA and Europe Stock Exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e) Indian Company issues shares to an intermediary called \u2018Depository\u2019. Bank of New York, Citigroup etc. act as foreign Depositor Bank. This Depositor bank issues ADR and GDR to investors against these shares. The ADR \/ GDR represents fixed number of shares. These ADR \/ GDR are then sold to people in a foreign country. The ADR \/ GDR are traded like regular shares. They are listed on stock exchanges. The prices fluctuate depending on demand and supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>f) Both ADR and GDR are depositor receipts, but only difference is the location where they are traded. If the Depositor Receipt is traded in USA, it is called American Depositor Receipts (ADR) and if it is traded in a country other than USA is called Global Depository Receipts (GDR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>g) Non-Resident Indians (NRI) and Foreign nationals can invest their money in India by purchasing ADR and GDR. They can buy ADR \/ GDR using their regular equity trading Account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>h) The company pays dividend in home currency to the depository bank and the depository bank converts it into the currency of investor and pays dividend.<br>The exchanges on which GDR is traded are as follows :<br>1) London Stock Exchange.<br>2) Luxembourg Stock Exchange.<br>3) NASDAQ Dubai.<br>4) Singapore Stock Exchange.<br>5) Hongkong Stock exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">3) What is trade credit?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> <br>a) No business can be run without \u2018credit\u2019. Credit is the soul of business. Trade credit financing is a major source of short-term financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Manufacturers, wholesalers, and suppliers of goods or materials are called \u2018trade creditors\u2019. They sell tangible goods to other business concerns on the basis of deferred payment i.e. future payment credit is extended by these business concerns with the intention of increasing their sales. The business firm extends credit, also because of custom that has been built up over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) Trade credit is not a cash loan. It results from a credit sale of goods\/services, which has to be paid at a future date after the sale takes place. In other words, when goods are delivered by a supplier to a customer and the payment is made after some time, it is called as trade credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) In distributive trade this kind of credit has great significance. The small retailers, to large extent rely on obtaining trade credit from suppliers. It is an easy kind of credit that can be obtained without signing any debt instrument. It is readily available and is a cheap method of financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e) Suppliers sell goods and willingly allow 30 days or more, for bills to be paid. They even offer discounts, if bills are cleared within a short period such as 10 days or 15 days, etc. The terms of trade credit are not rigid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><strong>4) What are the schemes for disbursement of credit by banks?<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br>Banks have introduced man innovative schemes for the disbursement of credit. They are as follows <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) Overdraft: A company having a current account with bank is allowed overdraft facility. The borrower can withdraw funds as and when needed. He is allowed to overdraw on his current account, up to the credit limit which is sanctioned by bank. Within this stipulated limit any number of drawings are permitted. Repayments can be made whenever required during the time period. The interest is determined on the basis of actual amount withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Cash Credit: It is also an important and popular form of financial aid. This form of credit is operated in same manner as overdraft facility. The borrower can withdraw amount from his cash credit account up to a stipulated limit based on security margin. Cash credit is given against pledge or hypothecation of goods or by providing alternative securities. Interest is charged on outstanding amount borrowed and not on the credit<br>limit sanctioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) Cash loans: Under this, the total amount of loan is credited b bank to the borrowers account. Interest is payable on actual balance outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) Discounting bills of exchange: The drawer of the bill i.e. (seller) can receive money from drawee (i.e. buyer) on due date or after the due date. A drawer can receive money before due date by discounting the bill with the bank. This is nothing but selling the bill to the bank. The bank gives money to drawer less than the face value of the bill. Thus bill of exchange is trade bills. They are accepted by bank and cash is advanced against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\"><strong>5) State the features of Bonds? <\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br>A bond is debt security.

He gets fixed rate of interest.<br><br>All bonds have a maturity date and is paid in cash at a certain date in future.<br><br>According to Webster Dictionary, \u2018A bond is an interest bearing certificate issued b the government or business firm, promising to pay the holder a specific sum at a specified date.\u2019 Thus a company borrows money and issues bonds as evidence of debt.

(Short Code for Initials &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">V<\/span>ah <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">K<\/span>ya IMPORTED )  <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br><strong>Shares:<br><\/strong>The term share is defined by Section 2 (84) of the Companies Act 2013, \u2018Share means a share in the share capital of a company and includes stock\u2019. A share is a unit by which the share capital is divided. The total capital of the company is divided into small parts and each part is called share and the value of each part\/unit is known as face value. A share is a small unit of the capital of a company. It facilitates the public to subscribe to the<br>capital in smaller amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features of Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Meaning:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share is the smallest unit in the total share capital of a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Ownership:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The owner of the share is called a shareholder. It shows the ownership of a shareholder in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Distinctive Number:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless dematerialized, each share has a distinct number for identification. It is mentioned in the Share Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Evidence of title:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A share certificate is issued by a company under its common seal. It is a document of title of ownership of shares. A share is not any visible thing. It is shown by share certificate or in the form of Demat share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Value of a Share:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each share has a value expressed in terms of money. There may be :<br>(a) Face value: This value is written on the share certificate and mentioned in the Memorandum of Association.<br>(b) Issue price: It is the price at which a company sells its shares.<br>(c) Market Value: This value of a share is determined by demand and supply forces in the share market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Rights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A share confers certain rights on its holder such as the right to receive dividends, the right to inspect statutory books, the right to attend shareholders\u2019 meetings, and right to vote at such meetings, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) Income:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A shareholder is entitled to get a share in the net profit of the company. It is called a dividend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8) Transferability:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shares of a public limited company are freely transferable in the manner provided in the Articles of Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9) Property of Shareholder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share is a movable property of a shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10) Kinds of Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A company can issue two kinds of shares :<br>(a) Equity shares. (b) Preference shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">2) What is an equity share? Explain its features.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br>Equity shares are also known as ordinary shares.<br>Companies Act defines equity shares as \u2018those shares which are not preference shares.<br>The above definition reveals that :<br>a) The equity shares do not enjoy a preference for the dividend.<br>b) The equity shares do not have priority for repayment of capital at the time of winding up of the company.<br>Equity shares are a fundamental source of financing business activities. Equity shareholders own the company and bear the ultimate risk associated with the ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features of Equity Shares <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Permanent Capital:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity shares are irredeemable shares. The amount received from equity shares is not refundable by the company during its lifetime. Equity shares become refundable only in the event of the winding up of the company or company decides to buy back shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Fluctuating Dividend:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity shares do not have a fixed rate of dividend. The rate of dividend depends upon the amount of profit earned by the company. If the company earns more profit, the dividend is paid at a higher rate. On the other hand, if there is insufficient profit or loss, the Board of Directors may postpone the payment of dividends. The equity shares get dividends at fluctuating rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Rights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity Shareholders enjoy certain rights :<br>a) Right to vote: It is the basic right of equity shareholders through which they elect directors, alter Memorandum and Articles of Association, etc.<br>b) Right to share in profit: It is an important right of equity shareholders. They have right to share in profit when distributed as dividends. <br>c) Right to inspect books: Equity shareholders have right to inspect statutory books of their company.<br>d) Right to transfer shares: The equity shareholders enjoy the right to transfer shares as per the procedure laid down in the Articles of Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) No preferential right:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity shareholders do not enjoy preferential right in respect of payment of dividend. They are paid dividend only after dividend on preference shares has been paid.<br><br>Similarly, at the time of winding up of the company, the equity shareholders are paid last. Further, if no surplus amount is available, equity shareholders will not get anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Controlling power:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The control of the company is vested with the equity shareholders. They are often described as \u2018real masters\u2019 of the company. It is because they enjoy exclusive voting rights. The Act provides the right to cast vote in proportion to shareholding. They can exercise their voting right by proxies, without even attending meetings in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Risk:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity shareholders bear maximum risk in the company. They are described as \u2018shock absorbers\u2019 when company has a financial crisis. If the income of company falls, the rate of dividend also comes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) Residual claimant:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity shareholders as owners are residual claimants to all earnings after expenses, taxes, etc. are paid. A residual claim means the last claim on the earnings of the company. Although equity shareholders come last, they have the advantage of receiving entire earnings that are left over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8) No charge on assets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The equity shares do not create any charge over assets of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9) Bonus Issue:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus shares are issued as gifts to equity shareholders. These shares are issued free of cost to existing equity shareholders. These are issued out of accumulated profits. Bonus shares are issued in proportion to the shares held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10) Right Issue:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a company needs more funds for expansion purpose and raises further capital by issue of shares, the existing equity shareholders may be given priority to get newly offered shares. This is called \u2018Right Issue\u2019. The shares are offered to equity shareholder first, in proportion to their existing shareholding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11) Face Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The face value of equity shares is low. It can be generally 10 per share or even 1 per share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12) Market Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market value of equity shares fluctuates according to the demand and supply of these shares. The demand and supply of equity shares depend on profits earned and dividend declared. When a company earns huge profit, market value of its shares increases. On the other hand, when it incurs loss, the market value of its shares decreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">3) Define preference shares. What are the different types of preference shares?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br><strong>Preference Shares :<br><\/strong>As the name indicates, these shares have certain preferential rights distinct from those attached to equity shares.<br>The shares which carry following preferential rights are termed as preference shares :<br>a) A preferential right as to payment of dividend during the lifetime of the company.<br>b) A preferential right as to the return of capital in the event of winding up of the company.<br>The holder of preference share has a prior right to receive a fixed rate of dividend before any dividend is paid to equity shares. The rate of dividend is prescribed at the time of issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of Preference Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Cumulative Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cumulative Preference Shares are those shares on which dividend goes on accumulating until it is fully paid. This means, if the dividend is not paid in one or more years due to inadequate profits, then this unpaid dividend gets accumulated. This accumulated dividend is paid when company performs well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Non-cumulative Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dividend on these shares does not get accumulated. This means, the dividend on shares can be paid only out of profits of that year. The right to claim dividend will lapse, if company does not make profit in that particular year. If dividend is not paid in any year, it is lost forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Participating Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The holders of these shares are entitled to participate in surplus profit besides preferential dividend. The surplus profit which remains after the dividend has been paid to equity shareholders, up to certain limit, is distributed to preference shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Non-participating Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The preference shares are deemed to be non-participating, if there is no clear provision in the Articles of Association. These shareholders are entitled to fixed rate of divided, prescribed at the time of issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Convertible Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The holders of these shares have a right to convert their preference shares into equity shares. The conversion takes place within a certain fixed period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Non-convertible Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These shares cannot be converted into equity shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) Redeemable Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shares which can be redeemed after certain fixed period of time are called redeemable preference shares. A company limited b shares, if authorised by Articles of Association, issues redeemable preference shares. Such shares must be fully paid. These shares are redeemed out of divisible profit only or out of fresh issue of shares made for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8) Irredeemable Preference Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shares which are not redeemable i.e. payable only on winding up of the company are called irredeemable preference shares. As per Section 55(1) of the Companies Act 2013, a company cannot issue irredeemable preference shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">4) What are preference shares? State its features.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br><strong>Preference Shares :<br><\/strong>As the name indicates, these shares have certain preferential rights distinct from those attached to equity shares.<br>The shares which carry following preferential rights are termed as preference shares :<br>a) A preferential right as to payment of dividend during the lifetime of the company.<br>b) A preferential right as to the return of capital in the event of winding up of the company.<br>The holder of preference share has a prior right to receive a fixed rate of dividend before any dividend is paid to equity shares. The rate of dividend is prescribed at the time of issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features of Preference Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Preference for dividend:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preference shares have the first charge on the distributable amount of annual net profit. The dividend is payable to preference shareholders before it is paid to equity shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Preference for repayment of capital:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preference shareholders have a preference over equity shareholders in respect of return of capital when the company is liquidated. It saves preference shareholders from capital losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Fixed Return:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These shares carry dividend at fixed rate. The rate of dividend is pre-determined at the time of issue. It may be in the form of fixed sum or may be calculated at fixed rate. The preference shareholders are entitled to dividend which can be paid only out of profits. If the directors, in financial crisis, decide not to pay dividend, the preference shareholders have no claim for dividend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Nature of Capital:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preference shares do not provide permanent share capital. They are redeemed after certain period of time. A company can not issue irredeemable preference shares. Preference capital is generally raised at a later stage, when the company gets established. Preference share capital is safe capital as the rate of dividend and market value does not fluctuate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Market Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market value of preference share does not change as the rate of dividend payable to them is fixed. The capital appreciation is considered to be low as compared with equity shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Voting rights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The preference shares do not have normal voting rights. They do not enjoy right of control on the affairs of the company. They have voting rights on any resolution of the company directly affecting their rights e.g.: Change in terms of repayment of capital, dividend payable to them are in arrears for last two<br>consecutive years, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) Risk:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investors who are cautious, generally purchase preference shares. Safety of capital and steady return on investment are advantages attached with preference shares. These shares are boon for shareholders during depression period when interest rate is continuously falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8) Face Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The face value of preference shares is relatively higher than equity shares. They are normally issued at a face value of Rs. 100\/-.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9) Rights or Bonus Issue:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preference shareholders are not entitled for Rights or Bonus issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10) Nature of Investor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preference shares attract moderate type of investors. Investors who are conservative, cautious, interested in safety of capital and who want steady return on investment generally purchase preference shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">5) What is Debenture? Discuss the different types of debentures.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br>Debentures are one of the principal sources of raising borrowed capital to meet long and medium term financial needs.<br>The term debenture has come from the Latin word \u2018debere\u2019 which means to \u2018owe\u2019.<br>The term debenture has not been defined clearly under Companies Act.<br>Sec 2(30) of the Companies Act 2013, only states that, \u2018the word debenture includes debenture stock, bonds and any other instrument of a company evidencing a debt, whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of Debentures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Secured debentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debentures can be secured. The property of company may be charged as security for loan. The security may be for some particular asset (fixed charge) or it may be the asset in general (floating charge). The debentures are secured through \u2018Trust Deed\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Unsecured debentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the debentures that have no security.

The provision of repayment is normally made in \u2018Trust Deed\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6) Irredeemable Debentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These kind of debentures are not repayable during life time of the company. The are repayable only after the liquidation of the company, or when there is breach of any condition or when some contingency arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) Convertible Debentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convertible debentures give right to holder to convert them into equity shares after a specific period of time. Such right is mentioned in the debenture certificate. The issue of convertible debenture must be approved by special resolution in general meeting before they are issued to public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8) Non-convertible Debentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-convertible debentures are not convertible into equity shares on maturity. These debentures are redeemed on maturity date. These debentures suffer from the disadvantage that there is no appreciation in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">6) Define Debenture and explain the features of debentures.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br>Debentures are one of the principal sources of raising borrowed capital to meet long and medium-term financial needs.<br>The term debenture has come from the Latin word \u2018debere\u2019 which means to \u2018owe\u2019.<br>The term debenture has not been defined clearly under Companies Act.<br>Sec 2(30) of the Companies Act 2013, only states that, \u2018the word debenture includes debenture stock, bonds and any other instrument of a company evidencing a debt, whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palmer defines: \u201cA debenture as an instrument under seal evidencing debt, the essence<br>of it being admission of indebtedness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features of debentures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Promise:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debenture is a promise by company that it owes specified sum of money to holder of the debenture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Face Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The face value of debenture normally carries high denomination.

If a company is not in a position to make payment of interest or repayment of capital, the debenture holder can sell off charged property of the company and recover their money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12) Issuers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both private company and public limited company can issue debentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13) Listing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debentures must be listed with at least one recognised stock exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14) Transferability:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debentures can be easily transferred, through the instrument of transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/12th-commerce-notes\/\" data-type=\"URL\"
