GENERAL INTRODUCTION :

Finance may be defined as the provision of money at the time where, it is required.

Finance refers to the management of flews of money through an organization it concerns

with the application of skills in the manipulation, use and control of money. Different

authorities have interpreted the term ‘finance differently. However there are three main

approaches to finance.

1. The first approach views finance as to providing of funds needed by a business on

most suitable terms this approach confines finance to the raising of funds and to the study

of financial institutions & instruments from where funds can be procured.

2. The second approach relates finance to cash.

3. The third approach views finance is being concerned with rising of funds& their

effective utilization.

DEFINITION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:

Financial management as practice by corporate firms can be called corporation

finance or business finance, financial management refers to that part of the management

activity which is concerned with the planning & controlling of firms financial resources.

It deals with finding out various sources for raising funds for the firm. The sources must

be suitable & economical for the needs of the business the most appropriate use of such

funds also forms a part of financial management.

1

OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: -

Financial management is concerned with procurement and use of funds. Its

main aim is to use business funds in such a way that the firm’s valve/earnings are

maximized there are various alternatives available for using business funds. The pros &

cons of various decisions have to look into before making a final selection. Financial

management provides a frame work for selecting a proper cause of action and deciding a

viable commercial strategy. The main objective of a business is to maximize the owner

economic welfare. These objectives can be achieved by

1. Profit maximization

2. Wealth maximization

MANAGEMENT OF FIXED ASSETS

The selection of various Fixed Assets required creating the desired

production facilities and the decision as regards determination of the level of fixed assets

is primarily the task at their production/technical people. The decision relating to fixed

assets involve huge funds for a long period of time and are generally of irreversible

nature affecting the long term profitability of a concern an unsound invest decision may

prove to be total to the very existence of the organization Thus, management of fixed

asset is of vital importance to any organization.

The process of fixed asset management involves:

1. Selection of most worthy projects or alternatives of fixed assets

2. Arranging the requisite funds/capital for the same

The first important consideration to be acquire only that much amount of fixed assets

which will be just sufficient to ensure smooth and efficient running of the business. In

2

some cases it may be economical to buy certain assets in a lot size. Another important

consideration to be kept in mind is possible increase in demand of the firm’s product

necessarily expansion of its activities. Hence a firm should have that much amount of

fixed assets, which could adjust to increase demand.

The third aspect of fixed assets management is that a firm must ensure buffer stocks of

certain essential equipments/services to ensure uninterrupted production in these events

of emergencies. Sometime there may be a breakdown in some equipment or services

affecting the entire production it is always better to have some alternative arrangements

to deal with such situations.

But at the same time the cost of carrying such buffer stock should also be evaluated.

Efforts should also be made to minimize the level of buffer stock of fixed assets be

encouraging their maximum utilization during learn period, transferring a part of peak

period and living additional capacity.

FIXED ASSETS:

Fixed assets are those assets which are required and held permanently for a pretty

longtime in the business and are used for the purpose for earning profits The successful

continuance of the business depends upon the maintenance of such assets, They are not

meant for resale in the ordinary course of business and the utility of these assets remains

so long as they are in work order, so they are also known as capital assets. Land and

buildings, plant and machinery, motor vans, furniture and fixtures are some examples of

these assets.

Financial transactions are recorded in the books keeping in view the going concern

aspect of the business unit. It is assumed the business unit has a reasonable expectation of

continuing business at a profit for an indefinite period of time. It will continue to operate

in the future. This assumption provides much of the justification for recording fixed

assets at original; cost and depreciating them in a systematic manner without reference to

their current realizable value.

3

It is useless to show fixed assets in the balance sheet at their estimated realizable

values if there is no immediate expectation of selling them. Fixed resale; so they are

shown at their book values (i.e. cost less depreciation provided) and not at their current

realizable values.

The market value of a fixed asset may change with the passage of time, but for

accounting purpose it continues to be shown in the books at its bulk value, i.e., the cost at

which it was purchased minus depreciation provided up to date.

The cost concept of accounting depreciation calculated on the basis of historical

costs of old assets is usually lower than that of those calculated at current value or

replacement value. This result in more profits on paper, which if distributed in full, will

lead to reduction of capital.

NEED FOR VALUATION OF FIXED ASSETS:

Valuation of fixed assets is important in order to have fair measure of profit or

loss and financial position of the concern.

Fixed assets are meant for use for many years the value of these assets decreases

with their use or with time or for other reasons. A portion of fixed assets reduced by use

is converted into cash though charging depreciation for correct measurement of income

proper measurement of depreciation is essential, as depreciation constitutes a part of the

total cost of production.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

NEED FOR STUDY: - Fixed Assets plays very important role in relating company’s objectives the firms to

which capital investment vested on fixed assets. This fixed asset is not convertible or not

liquid able over a period of time the total owner funds and long-term liabilities are

invested in fixed assets. Since fixed assets playing dominant role in total business the

firms has realized the effective utilization of fixed assets. So ratio contributes very much

in analyzing and evaluating the performance of fixed assets. If firms fixed assets are idle

and not utilized properly it effects long-term sustainability of the firms, which may affect

liquidity and solvency and profitability positions of the company. The idle of fixed assets

lead a tremendous in financial cost and intangible cost associate to it. So there is need for

the companies to evaluate fixed assets performance. Comparison with similar company

and comparison with industry standards. So chose a study to conduct on the fixed assets

analysis of NTPC corporate at RSTPS using ratio in comparison with previous year

performance. The title of the project is analysis on fixed assets management.

IMPORTANCE: - Fixed Assets are the assets, which cannot be liquidates into cash within one year.

The large amount of funds of the company is invested in these assets. Every year the

company investments an additional fund in these assets directly or indirectly the survival

and other objectives of the company purely depends on operating performance of

management in effective utilization of there assets.

Firm has evaluate the performance of fixed assets with proportion of capital employed

on net assets turnover and other parameters which is helpful for evaluating the

performance of fixed assets.

5

SCOPE:

The project is covered of fixed assets of NTPC drawn from annual reports of the

company. The fixed assets considered in the project are which cannot be converted into

cash with one year. Ration analysis is used for evaluating fixed assets performance of

NTPC.

The subject matter is limited to fixed assets it analysis and its performance but not

any other areas of accounting corporate, marketing and financial matters.

METHODOLOGY:

The data used for analysis and interpretation form annual reports of the company

that is secondary forms of data. Ratio analysis is used for calculation on purpose.

The project is presented by using table’s graphs and with their interpretations. No

survey is undertaken or observation study is conducted in evaluating ‘Fixed assets’

performance of NTPC.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

1. The study is conducted to evaluate fixed assets performance of NTPC.

2. The study is conducted to evaluate the fixed assets turnover of NTPC.

3. The study is made to known the amount of capital expenditure made by the

company during study period.

6

4. The study is conducted to evaluate depreciation and method of depreciation

adopted by NTPC

5. The study is conducted to known the amount of finance made by long-term

liabilities and owner funds towards fixed assets.

6. Study is conducted to evaluate that if fixed assets are liquidated. What is the

proportion of fixed assets amount will contribute for payment of owner fund and

long term liabilities.

7. The study is evaluate is giving adequate returns to the company.

SOURCES OF DATA:

The data gathering method is adopted purely from secondary sources.

The theoretical contents are gathered from eminent texts books and references and library

at NTPC.

The financial data and information is gathered from annual reports of the company

internal records

Interpretation conclusions and suggestions are purely base on my opinion and

suggestions provided by the project guide.

Limitations:

1 The study period of 45 days as prescribed by university

7

2 The study is limited unto the date and information provided by NTPC and its

annual reports

3 The report will not provide exact fixed assets status and position in NTPC; it may

vary from time to time and situation to situation.

4 This report is not helpful in investing in NTPC either through disinvestments or

capital market.

5 The accounting procedure and other accounting principles are limited by the

company changes in them may vary the fixed assets performance.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF FIXED ASSETS:

1. Fixed assets are shown at historical cost.

2. Intangible assets are recorded at their cost of acquisition.

3. Capital expenditure on assets not owned by the company is reflected as a distinct

item in capital work-in-progress till the period of completion and thereafter in the

Fixed Assets.

4. In the case of commissioned assets where final settlement of bills with

contractors in yet to be effected, capitalization is done on provisional bases

subject to necessary adjustment in the year of final settlement.

5. Assets and systems common to more than one generating unit are capitalized on

the basis of engineering estimates assessments.

PROFILE OF NTPC:

National Thermal Power

Corporation popularly known as NTPC was

formed on 7th November 1975 as a central

electric generating company. NTPC the

Navaratna power giant today generates 1/4th of the

total power in the country and is ranked 9th

largest thermal power generating company in the

world. It has a total generating capacity of 19,435MW.

NTPC a front-runner in the Indian Power Sector is one of the largest & the best power

utilities of the world, there by contributing to India’s emergence as one of the world’s leading

economies. The world rank, in its performance audit report on NTPC’s projects observed that

“NTPC record in plant construction, cost containment & operating efficiency has

been exceptional, while as an institution it has broken new ground in Organization &

Management, successfully navigated the transition from constructions to operating company

& generally coped quite well with the problems of rapid expansion.

Two corporations The National Hydro Electric Power Corporation (NHPC) &

National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) were set in 1975-76 in the center sector as a

step to achieve the objectives. The company started functioning in March 1976 with the

appointment of a Chairman & Managing Director.

With ambitious growth plans to become a 56,000MW power company by 2017, NTPC

the largest power utility of India has already diversified into hydro sector further

initiatives for greater organization transformation have been approved under “PROJECT

DISHA”.

9

NTPC was among the first Public Sector Enterprises to enter into a Memorandum of

Understanding (MOU) with the Government in 1987-88. NTPC has been placed under the

'Excellent category' (the best category) every year since the MOU system became operative.

Recognizing its excellent performance and vast potential, Government of the India

has identified NTPC as one of the jewels of Public Sector ‘Navratnas’- a potential global

giant. Inspired by its glorious past and vibrant present, NTPC is well on its way to realize its

vision of being “A world class integrated power major, powering India’s growth, with

increasing global presence”.

NTPC is committed to the environment, generating power at minimal environmental

cost and preserving the ecology in the vicinity of the plants. NTPC has undertaken massive a

forestation in the vicinity of its plants. Plantations have increased forest area and reduced

barren land.

NTPC has also taken proactive steps for ash utilization. In 1991, it set up Ash

Utilization Division to manage efficient use of the ash produced at its coal stations. This

quality of ash produced is ideal for use in cement, concrete, cellular concrete, building

material.

THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

The company’s market capitalization crossed Rs. One trillion and also generated

170.88 Bus during 2005-06registering an increase of 7.40% over 2004-05. NTPC contributed

27.68%electricity in the country during 2005-06. Provisional and un audited Net profit after

tax for the year 2005-06 is Rs.57, 061 million as compared to Rs.58, 070 million during the

year 2004-05. Capital Outlay for 2006-07 was set at Rs.113, 250 million. It has an interim

dividend of 20% for the financial year 2005-06 amounting to Rs.16, 491 million.

NEW TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES:

NTPC has adopted super critical technology for SIPAT-1 (3*660 MW) and Barh

(3*660 MW) projects. As part of long-term capacity addition programme, NTPC plans to

develop coal-based thermal power projects with higher units sizes, machines along with

integrated captive mining. These power projects will have higher efficiency, assured fuel

availability at lower cost, lower project cost due to economy of scale and lower green house

gas emissions.

The unique features include training facility at remote terminal at NTPC PMI-

NOIDA in addition to the main unit located at Sipat site. NTPC has taken steps to develop a

roadmap for adopting ‘Clean Development Mechanism’.This shall help in earning ‘Citified

Emission Reduction’ and will attract advanced technologies and investment into the country.

Geographical Information System based mapping interface is being developed in

association with IIT-Delhi or integrating the topographical features with the environmental

monitoring data and mapping it around Kahalgaon STPP.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

R&D Center continued to provide scientific services to all the stations of NTPC and

some other utilities to increase their availabilities and reliability by way of carrying out

health assessment of the power plant components, carrying out failure analysis, condition

monitoring of various equipment, post- operational chemical cleaning of boilers,

formulations of chemical treatments etc.

In addition, R&D center worked for attaining self-sufficiency in overhauling and

spares parts development for gas turbines and also for the refurbishment of Gas Turbine

components.

RAMAGUNDAM – A LEGEND

Ramagundam (including Godavarikhani Town) is a city and municipality in the

Karimnagar district of northern Andhra Pradesh, India. It has a population of 236,623 (2001

census).The town Ramagundam gets its name from combination of two words (Rama +

Gundam). A famous temple of Hindu god Lord Rama is situated in old part of the town and

Gundam means water springs.

Legend has it, in the age bygone, LORD RAMA traversing the banks of Godavari River left

his immortal footprints on a small hillock. Today his blessings lives on-enshrined in a small

17

immortal footprints that Ramagundam is considered as Manchester of India in light of the

companies around it. Some of them are FCI (Fertilizer Corporation of India), Kesoram

Cement (Basanth Nagar), NTPC (RSTPS-Ramagundam super thermal power station

sourcing 2600 MW of power 24/7), and APSEB unit (Ramagundam).

Around 24 units of coal mines belt in Godavarikhani stretching 25 km including opencasts

(state of the art proclainers) are used in these open coal mines.There are many factories

around this place that take the raw material from the coalmines and prepare carbon

derivatives.River Godavari flowing through this region gave this a strategic location for all

these companies providing employment to more than 15,000 people.

TransportRamagundam is connected to major parts of the State through a well connected road, Rajiv

Rahadari (Freeway of Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi) in remembrance of Gandhi family and the

Party he hailed from(Congress I). APSRTC is well connected across all communities of this

region.Ramagundam is connected through the South Central Railway which connects to all

the four metropolitan cities of India. Most of the trains passing through this route stop at

Ramagundam. Ramagundam Airport code is RMD. The nearest airport (other than unused

RDM) is around 250 km (Hyderabad-HYD) away and connected through Highway NH-7 via

Karimnagar and Siddipet.

RAMAGUNDAM SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION (RSTPS)

November 14th 1978, sudenly the

sleepy village RAMAGUNDAM became

the scene of hectic activities. Barricades &

Welcome arches were erected all along the

road leading to what is now the site of 2600

MW POWER STATION. It is on this

auspicious day of 14th November 1978 the

Honable Prime Minister of INDIA Late.

18

Shri.Morarji Desai laid the foundation stone for a MAMMOTH POWER STATION IN

SOUTHERN INDIA.

NTPC Ramagundam spread over 1000 acres of land, is considered to be one of the

best in the nation (among 24locations). Constructed at a cost of Rs.1762 crores, the station

has been one of the largest recipients of the WORLD BANK loan.its project implementation

and finacial control has pause from the World Bank, Ramagundam can be cosidered as the

school for ‘Construction of Power Prjects’. NTPC is divided into 5 regions: Ramgundam

falls in southern region along with Simhadri and Kayankulam.

POWER SECTOR

Energy is an important parameter in the overall economic development activity of

any country. It has become synonymous with the progress in all fields of activities. It’s

standard of living in the words of DAGLI is as follows “it is said that the difference

between a starving Indian peasant and a prosperous American former is that behind his

elbow the Indian farmer has almost nothing while his American counterpart has

thousands of horse power.

Thus, it is energy, which is the dividing line between any subsistence economy and

a highly developed economy. India is poor and America is rich because America

consumes nearly 50 times as much energy as is consumed by India. Energy is at the heart

of the modern industrial society. It could also be an effective weapon in the battle against

object poverty”.

There is a close correlation between energy consumption and level of economic

development. Energy means “capacity of doing work”. There are various sources of

energy but in India the important sources are coal, hydroelectricity, oil and natural gas,

nuclear fuels, firewood and animal wastes. Despite the development of various sources

in the energy sector, the fact still remains that low cost energy sources like fire wood,

cattle dung and vegetable wastes account for as much as 45 percent of energy

consumption in the country.

DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Power development in India began in 1897 when a 200KW hydro station was first

commissioned at DARJEELING. In 1899, a first steam station was set-up in Calcutta with a

total capacity of 100KW. There after, a series of hydro and steam power station were

23

commissioned. But the power development was not in a systematic and planned manner in

the country. Therefore to achieve the objective of promoting the co-ordination development

and rationalization of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity on a regional

basis throughout the country in the most efficient and economic way, the state electricity

board (SEBs) was constituted in the various states of the country under the provisions of the

electricity (supply) act 1948.

These SEBs, were to enjoy the monopoly in respect of generation, transmission and

distribution of electricity in the country. The efficiency of working of power plant and their

maintenance have been unsatisfactory as a result of which the power generating capacity

already created could not have been fully utilized. Power is the single factor, which changed

the way of living. The National Thermal Power Corporation Limited, established on

November 7th 1975, has become the most important infrastructure input for improving the

standard of living to meet the growing demand and to fulfill the needs of the country. Just in

29 years this company has grown to be the largest producer of power in the country.

Keeping the significance of power supply in sight, NTPC has been chosen for the

purpose of the study as it has many units under its control. Ramagundam Super Thermal

Power Station (RSTPS) has been selected for the study.

PRESENT SCENARIO

Several measures have been taken in line with the Electricity Act, 2003. The National

Electricity Policy has been notified. Main targets of National Electricity Policy (NEP) are:

Availability of electricity to all households in five years.

Demand to be fully met by 2012.

Minimum lifeline consumption of 1unit per household per day.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT:

24

In 2004-05, the economy has maintained the growth momentum despite a deficient

southwest monsoon, hardening international prices of steel and extensive devastation

caused by Tsunami.

He macro economic stability observed in recent years needs to be sustained and

strengthened. Further improvements in investment climate and augmenting

infrastructure, especially electricity infrastructure are being given high priority.

TREND ANALYSIS: - In Financial analysis the direction of changes over a period of Years is of initial

importance. Time series or trend analysis of ratio indicators the direction of change.

This kind of analysis is particularly applicable to the times of profit and loss account it is

advisable that trends of sales and net income may be studied in the light of two factors.

The rate of fixed expansion or secular trend in the growth of the business and the general

price level. It might be found in practice that a number of firms would be shown a

persistent growth over period of Years But to get a true trend of growth; the sales figure

should be adjusted by a suitable index of general prices.

In other words, sales figures should be deflated for rising price level. Another

method of securing trend of growth and one which can be used instead of the adjusted

sales figure or as check on them is to tabulate and plot the output or physical volume of

the sales expressed in suitable units of measure. If the general price level is not

considered while analyzing trend of growth, it can be mislead management they may

become unduly optimistic in period of prosperity and pessimistic in duel periods.

For trend analysis, the use of index numbers. In generally advocated the procedure

followed is to assign the numbers. 100 to items of the base year and at calculate

percentage change in each item of other Years in relation to the base year this procedure

may be called as “fixed percentage method”.

This margin determines the direction of upward or downward and involves the

implementation of the percentage relationship of the each statement item means to the

same in the base year. Generally the first year is taken as the base year. The figure of the

base year is taken as 100 and trend ratio for the other year is calculated on the basis of

one year. Here an attempt is made to known the growth total investment and fixed assets

of NTPC for 12 Years that is 1997-98 to 2008-2009.

RATIO ANALYSIS :Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as the

indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions” and as “the relationship between for

evaluating the financial position and performance of a firm. The absolute accounting figure

reported in financial statement do not provide a meaningful understanding of the of the

performance and financial position of a firm. An accounting figure conveys meaning when it

is related to some other relevant information.

Ratios help to summarize large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative

judgment about the firm’s financial performance.

FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH RATIO :

This ratio establishes the relationship between Fixed Assets and Net worth

Net worth = Share Capital + Reserves & Surplus + Retained Earnings.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets to Net worth Ratio = ---------------- X 100

Net worth

This ratio of ‘Fixed Assets’ to ‘Net worth’ indicates the extent to which shareholder

funds are sunk into the fixed assets. Generally, the purchase of fixed assets should be

financed by shareholders, equity including reserves & surpluses and retained earnings. If

the ratio is less than 100% it implies that owners funds are more than total Fixed Assets

and a part of the working capital is provided by the share holders.

When the ratio is more than 100% it implies that owner’s funds are not sufficient to

finance the fixed assets and the finance has to depend upon outsiders to finance the fixed

assets. There is no “rule of thumb” to interpret this ratio but 60% to 65% is considered to

be satisfactory ratio in case of industrial undertaking.

32

Fixed assets Ratio : This ratio explains whether the firm has raised adequate long term funds to

meet its fixed assets requirements and is calculated as under.

Fixed Assets (after depreciation)

----------------------------------------------

Capital Employed

This ratio gives and idea as to what part of the capital employed has been used in

purchasing the Fixed Assets for the concern. If the ratio is less than one it is good for the

concern.

FIXED ASSETS AS A % TO CURRENT LIABILITIES

The ratio measures the relationship between fixed assets and the funded debt and is a

very useful so the long term erection. The ratio can be calculated as below

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets as a % to Current Liabilities = ------------------------

Current Liabilities

TOTAL INVESTMENT TURNOVER RATIO :This ratio is calculated by dividing the net sales by the value of total assets that is (Net

sales/Total investment) or (sales/Total investment). A high ratio is an indicator of over

trading of total assets while a low ratio reveals idle capacity. The traditional standard for

the ratio in two times.

33

FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO :

This ratio expresses the number of times fixed assets arte being turned-over is a stated

period. It is calculated as under.

Sales

--------------------------------------------------

Net fixed assets (after depreciation)

This ratio shows how well the fixed assets are being uses in the business. The

ratio is important in case of manufacturing concern because sales are produced not only

by use of Current assets but also by amount invested in fixed Assets the higher ratio, the

better is the performance. On the other hand a low ratio indicates that fixed assets are not

being efficiently utilized.

GROSS CAPITAL EMPLOYED

The term ‘Gross capital employed’ usually comprises the total assets, fixed, as

well as current assets used in a business

Gross Capital employed = Fixed Assets + Current Assets.

RETURN ON FIXED ASSETS Profit after tax

RETURN ON FIXED ASSETS =--------------------------- X 100

Fixed assets

This ratio is calculated to measure the profit after tax against the amount invested in

total assets to ascertain whether assets are being utilized properly or not. The higher

the ratio the better it is for the concern.

34

FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH : The ratio indicates the extent to where shareholders funds are struck in the fixed

assets. The formula to compute fixed assets to net worth is calculated as follows. Fixed

assets (after depreciation) / Net worth.

NET WORTH = Share capital + Reserves & surplus + Retained

Earnings.

If the ratio is less than 100% it implies that owner funds are more than the fixed

assets and the shareholders and vice-versa provide a part of working capital.
