Project Guidelines

Selecting Companies and Industry

1. After creating groups, the class representative will coordinate the industry allocations
among the different groups to ensure that each group study different industry and
maximum NIFTY companies are studied by the participants
2. Please make sure that groups do not take Banking, Financial Services, Utilities, and
Government companies for the project.
3. Each member of a group will choose a company (from the allocated industry of the
group) that is listed in NSE. The class CR will float a google spreadsheet with the
following columns, and each group member will fill up the details:

Section Group# Name Roll No. NSE Company Industry


Symbol name

4. Please ensure that the company (taken by each participant) is listed in the NSE for the
last five years (April-2019 to March-2024). Ex: Suppose you choose NSE Symbol
‘XYZ’, make sure that continuous trading data is available for ‘XYZ’ for the last 5-
years.
5. Ensure that No NSE symbols are repeated.
6. The instructor may ask you to changes companies if needed.

Project Instructions

For Excel Submission

1) You may take the adjusted closing share price data of (daily data) from April 1, 2019
to March 31, 2024, along with NIFTY500 Index data (proxy for market portfolio) from
the NSE Database.
2) First, you will sort the share price data on daily basis and then estimate the daily returns.
Similarly, the return on the market portfolio must be estimated.
3) Calculate average daily return, average monthly return and average yearly return for
past 5 years. Also calculate the standard deviation of returns for the company.
4) You may run regression to estimate the beta-equity of the company. You will provide
the information on adjusted R square, standard error of estimate, and value of alpha and
beta coefficients.
5) You may get the data on debt ratio (based on market values) by referring to the Annual
Report of the Company (and/or corporate bonds (if any) issued by the corporation.)
Otherwise use the book value of debt. The debt ratio has to be estimated as on March
31, 2024.
6) Estimate the cost of equity capital of the company by using the CAPM. You may refer
to RBI web site for ascertaining the current yield on 10-year/30-year GOI bonds. Take
the equity risk premium from a reliable source and cite the source in the report.
7) Estimate the cost of debt in respect of your company. In the absence of the current yield
data, one may ascertain cost of debt by taking the ratio of interest expense to average
debt outstanding during the year.
8) Estimate the WACC in respect of your company by using the market value weights.
For Report Submission

1) Analyze the capital structure of each company and the industry. What is the debt/equity
ratio for each firm? What is the average industry debt/equity ratio? What industry
characteristics affect debt capacity in this industry?
2) What is the payout policy for each firm? What are dividend payout and dividend yield?
What is the average industry dividend payout? What industry characteristics affect
payout policy in this industry?
3) What is the working capital policy for each firm? How much investment is needed in
working capital? What is the industry average?
4) Learnings from this project.

Deliverables
1. Final submission will be in two parts. The part 1 will have an Excel submission and the
part 2 will have a report.
2. Every group will submit 1 excel file. The first sheet will be a summary sheet with following
details for each company:

Particulars Company 1 Company 2 Company 3 …


Name of company
NSE Code
Industry

Average return (Daily)


Average return (Monthly)
Average return (Yearly)
Standard deviation

Beta

Debt (Rs. million)


Equity (Rs. million)
Cost of debt
Cost of equity
WACC

5) Post the summary sheet attach the individual company sheet (one sheet per company)
6) The report should be in the pdf format.
7) Naming Convention: <Group Number><Section>
