1.1 Book Value Vs Market Value:

The book value of share indicates the dollar value remaining for
common shareholders after all assets are liquidated and all debtors
are paid. In other words, the book value of share is the value of the
shareholders equity according to the financial statement.
Market Value is the value of a share according to the stock market.
The market value of share is decided through the interaction of
demand and supply of that particular companys stock.
Implications of Each
Book value simply implies the value of the company on its books,
often referred to as accounting value. It's the accounting value once
a companys auditors have accounted for assets and liabilities.
Stock market investors who buy and sell the stock determine
whether book value is an accurate assessment of a companys
value. Market value has a more meaningful implication in the sense
that it is the price you have to pay to own a part of the business
regardless of what book value is stated.
1. Book Value Greater Than Market Value: The financial
market values the company for less than its stated value or
net worth. When this is the case, it's usually because the
market

has

lost

confidence

in

the

ability

of

the

company's assets to generate future profits and cash flows. In

other words, the market doesn't believe that the company is
worth the value on its books. Value investors often like to seek
out

companies

in

this

category

in

hopes

that

the

market perception turns out to be incorrect. After all, the

market is giving you the opportunity to buy a business for less

than its stated net worth.
2. Market Value Greater Than Book Value: The market
assigns a higher value to the company due to the earnings
power of the company's assets. Nearly all consistently
profitable companies will have market values greater than
book values.
3. Book Value Equals Market Value: The market sees no
compelling reason to believe the company's assets are better
or worse than what is stated on the balance sheet.

Book Value and Market Value of share for RAK Ceramics

(Bangladesh) Limited
If we look at the shares book value and market value of RAK
Ceramics, we find out that the market value of the share is greater
than the book value. We may say this is good news for them but in
reality this is not. It clearly defines that the market value is shrinking
over the years, which is definitely bad news for RAK.

In 2010, it

was 172 but in 2013 it was 53.3, which is very low. On the other
hand book value is stable over the years that was moving around 21
to 22. Though the book value is lower than market value, still we will
say this a bad news, as the company is not generating the value
once it was creating for the investors. So diminishing value creation
has made RAK in such a position that is not welcomed by the
investors.

market value of the share of RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh)

Book Value

Market Price

In the graph it is clearly seen that the market value is higher than
the book value but the market value has decreased drastically over
the years. This is indeed a bad news for the company. The investors
are not having trust on the company and demanding the share to
invest.
So, on the basis of the above data a hypothesis can be made as
followingHypothesis: the company is not in a good position as its
market value of share is shrinking over the years.

1.2 Objectives of the study:

The objectives of this assignment are

To analyze the financial status of the company with the help of

the latest available annual report. In our case we are
conducting the analysis on the basis of annual report

published in December 2013.

To study the book value and market value of share
To analyze the balance sheet and income statement of 2013
To analyze the cash flow statement of 2013
To analyze different ratios

1.3 Methodology:
Data source: source of data for this report is the annual
reports of the company, which is a secondary source.
Statistical Techniques: for our analysis we will use the
different kind of graphs (line chart, bar chart)
Period under consideration: our point of discussion will be
based on 2013 that is the latest available year for annual
report.
Nature of Analysis: we will conduct both time series and
cross section analysis.
Standard of Comparison: here we are going to conduct a
cross section analysis with another local firm of cement
industry named Fuwang Ceramics

1.4 Limitations:
While conducting the report, some limitations were yet present
here:
1. Due to time constraints we couldnt be focused in depth.
2. We couldnt study the whole industry of ceramic and make a
comparative analysis based on that.

CHAPTER -2

The analysis and interpretation would be done by the means of time
series study and cross section study.

Time Series Analysis

2.1 Income Statement Analysis

We have analyzed income statement and Balance sheet by doing a

common size statement. We have also calculated the growth rate
for major income statement and Balance sheet items. For actual
figure of growth rate and common size statement, please refer to
the Table-2, Table -3 and Table-4 in the Appendix portion of the
report.
Based on the Income statements and Balance sheet in terms of
growth rate and common size statements, some of the major
findings that we identified are as below

Sales growth was largely derived from improved realizations

consequent to a price increase during the year and a healthy
off take of value-added products. Export earnings also
increased to Taka 26.14 mn in 2013 from Taka 18.39 mn in
2012, as a result of catering to the demand of the export
market.

to the gross block of the fixed assets in the following
areas:

in 2013 by contributing Taka 36.75 mn in RAK Paints, an
associate company.

Inventory has gone up by 246 mn in 2013 compare to

2012. The reason behind the piled inventory is nothing
but sluggish growth in real estate and housing sector in
2013 and onwards. They are the big driver. Though the
Company has a policy of maintaining 6-7 months
inventory of key inputs to ensure uninterrupted
operations.

2.3 Cash Flow Statement Analysis

The statement of cash flows is designed to show how the firms
operations have affected its cash position by examining the
investment

and

financing

decisions

of

Often

the

information contained in the statement of cash flows answer

questions like: Is the firm generative the cash needed to purchase
additional fixed assets for growth? Does it have excess cash flows
that can be used to repay debt or to invest in new products?

financial managers and investors.
