Discuss the disadvantages of retained profits as a source of finance.
Describe the disadvantages of Retained Earnings.
उत्तर
- Low Dividends: Ploughing back of profits reduces the current rate of dividends. This may result in dissatisfaction among the shareholders as they do not get the expected rate of dividend.
- Misuse and Speculation: Excessive reserves may make the management wasteful and extravagant. Management may misuse them by investing in unprofitable or undesirable channels. A company having large reserves may prompt its directors to indulge in speculation in the prices of its shares.
- Unbalanced Growth: Retained profits may interfere in the balanced industrial growth of the country. The profits which might have been invested in other industries are reinvested in the same industry.
- Overcapitalisation: Too much ploughing back of profits may prompt management to issue bonus shares. Frequent capitalisation of reserves may result in overcapitalisation.
- Uncertain: Retained profits are an uncertain source of funds when the profits of the company fluctuate widely.
