INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In contemporary business setting, debt is seemingly unavoidable.
Sometimes it emanates from short fund suitable with the existing trade terms.
Debt does not occur only when money is borrowed. It equally occur when there is
exchange of goods or service with a derived payment. Each time goods or
services are exchanged with a different of its financial obligation there is
incidence of debt.
C. A. Ezigbo (2001) defines debt management as the ability of
financial manager or management to make good use of the money borrowed by the
company in order to achieve the set objective. It can also be defined as the
process where the debt obligation is being managed in all ramifications whether
from the domestic or external sources.
A good business may not always write to finance the beginning of
his business from his personnel savings.
At the commencement of a conscience organization the owners try to
maintain a favoaruble capital structure it is normal for the business owners to
finance to finance business. The choice of the capital structure and the
finding technique is left at the merely of the financial managers.
Business organization usually structure achieve a number of
objectives. These corporate objective provides a set of criteria upon which
financial decisions can be based. In general terms of business organization
seek to achieve by obtaining funds from various sources and investing some
reasonably. It is important to recognize that the various steps of fund raised
has its own cost and certain risks. For example debentures, preferences and
ordinary shares. Loans. Raised on the security organizations assets tends to
have fairly low rates of interest although they imply certain risks. Failure to
meet the terms of th loan on due date would the tender to confiscate the said
assets with potentially catastrophe consequence for the borrower.
Ordinary share however has no fixed charge as such. Its dividend
depends on the periodic business profits yet excessive use of equity shares is
determine to the organizational control, if it is not technically handled. When
the equity shared is used in marginal funding of the firms, it is only
advisable when the issue is such that share prices would increase.
One would not expect an issue of share to be made with an
expectation that share prices would fall since that would reduce shareholder’s
wealth. So it can be said that the minimum return required from a new issue is
that which would leave the share price at its present level.
ii. Trade debt: are usually made on credit. This
means that cash settlement legs sometimes behind the delivery of the goods or
the consumption of the service to which the payment relates. It encourages for
the following reasons.
a) The recipient will need to assure himself that
the goods are satisfactory prior to payment.
b) Additional safeguard will be introduced with
regards to the cash collected.
The practice of allowing credit has thus come to be widely
accepted as normal. To achieve the, the financial manager and the management
consider the cost under two categories
a. Cost of allowing credit
b. Cost of refusing credit
