As this company deals with the communication industry there is large scope of expansion and the probability of facing the risk is very low. The company with the help of the technology can implement innovative features that attract the people to view their channels and increase their profits. Though it possess the tag of the “media specialist” these expansion activities will further help them to maintain the tag rather than wiping that out and make the people to allocate the same to any other company.

Total Group revenues for the first nine months of the year are up 1% on 2008 on a reported basis, a performance achieved against high prior year comparatives when Aegis Media revenue was up 26.1% on 2007 and Synovate gross revenue was up 12.8%.

In Synovate, the trend in revenue and sales improved with a continuing strong sales order book at the end of the third quarter.

 

重要支出-COST OF CAPITAL

 

The company while undertaking the expansion activities would definitely require certain capital for those activities. If the company has retained earnings with it then there won't be any problem. But if the retained earnings are not sufficient then it may have other sources. That may be by issuing the equity shares, the preference shares or even by issuing the debentures or it can also approach the banks to advance them the loans. The business activities are planned and the evaluation of the project is done to estimate the cost of the project. When the cost is estimated and if it plans to finance the project with the equity share capital, preference share capital or the debentures then enters the concept of the cost of capital. The cost of capital is defined as the minimum rate of return that is expected by its investors. The investors agree to invest in any company with the idea of generating certain income. This income is generated in the form of interest for the investments that they have made in the company for financing their activities. The cost of capital provides the company with various formulas to decide the interest rate that is payable to these investors. For the equity shares the cost of capital is calculated in different ways such as the dividend yield method, dividend yield plus growth in dividend method, earnings yield method and the realized yield method. For the preference share holders a fixed dividend is paid. The risk factor arises when the equity of the preference shareholders are not of domestic origin. If the company has global image then the investors from different companies would be interested to invest in the company.

 

風險-RISK

 

The risk factor that may arise in this situation is the interest rate risk and also the currency risk. The risk arises because of the fluctuations in the currency. The risk may affect the company in the process when it ends up paying more amounts in the form of interest if the currency value increases. Hence the company should carefully evaluate the risk probability before selecting a particular source to finance its activities. Though the globalization concept has many advantages it has several disadvantages too. The company should always safeguard itself and should be in a position to face the risk that arises out of these situations. This can be handled if the company has retained earnings and also certain current assets which can be easily liquidated and the amount due to the investors can be paid off. This saves the company from the possibility of getting a negative image. If the company overcomes such situations more and more people will be interested to invest and the company may plan for more activities.
