In marketing operations, marketing department customers inquiries are received from, telex, fax, E-mails, and letters. They are directly sent to senior marketing manager for approval. The operations of the marketing department are as follows: ? To improve the efficiency and productivity of marketing department. ? To develop focus of sales team on cooking oil. ? To improve the sales of pouch packs. ? Shifting the advertising strategy from conventional to modern advertising to develop a new consumer base. ? To improve the visibility of brand in market place. ? To improve depth and width of our stock in market. ? Analyzing the trend of the market. ? Analyzing the competitions movement of marketing. ? Analyzing the customer demand. ? Analyzing the product development process. ? Analyzing the quality assurance process. ? Enhance the market share as compare to competitors. ? Focus on the international market, not only the local market. 2.7.2 Marketing strategy Marketing strategy of AIL includes the following points: ? Covering the target market. ? Better quality products through ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 / & HACCP, standards. ? ? ? ? Maintaining the strong market position. Goods are to be produce according to the requirements of customers. Satisfied the customer from all aspects. To produce products having Taste, Quality and nice packing. Major objectives The major objective of AIL is to capture maximum market shares and satisfied their customers up to their requirements. Satisfaction The customer satisfaction is a strategic, if the customers are satisfied with the services of a firm and what they are getting from the firm, they will definite loyal with the company and always became representative of the company. Monitoring AIL has assigned some executives to monitor the not only their market, also monitor the competitors products and services existing in the market. If competitors facilitate his customer as compare to us then try to adopt those strategies for better results. Because this is an era of competitions and if they do not compete with other in the market, they cannot keep their position in the market. AIL is trying their best by offering a variety of high quality products and services to their customers. 2.7.3 Pricing Strategy Price Pricing is the amount of money or other items which utility needed to acquire a product. Price has a significant role in the marketing activities of the firm as well as, the willingness or acceptance of the customers, whenever a firm decides about the pricing of its products it must have some objectives behind rechecking again. These objectives may be: ? Profit oriented (increase the profit margin) ? Sales oriented (profit making through increase the sale) Pricing policies/strategies procedure of AIL AIL is offering the price on the basis of three strategies, Turnitin Originality Report https://turnitin.com/newreport_printview.asp?eq=0&eb=0&esm=-3&oid... 3 of 10 20-Jun-14 6:42 PM which are as follows: ? Competitive base ? Customer base ? Product base Pricing is an important factor in the marketing process for any company. The pricing policy of the company should be in such a way that it should produce a reasonable profit, for the company and satisfy the customer while calculating the price of any company. Since two factors are very important: ? Fixed cost ? Variable cost Fixed cost It is the cost that remains always same whether produced large quantity or low quantity is. So companies always try to use their full capacity of production because with increase in production the fixed cost will be decreased. Following are important factors of fixed cost: ? Overhead cost ? Salaries of staff Variable cost It is the cost where per unit variable cost rises as the quantity decrease, Following are included in the variable cost: ? Cost of raw material ? Transportation Price fixing strategies AIL sells directly to their customer at their doorstep, and then price components are as follows: Fixed cost + variable cost + desired profit = price of the product The profit margin depends upon the condition of the market. If market will be new, the price will be also new to attract the customers and compete with existing competitions. The pricing policies of AIL vary from product to product and also vary from local and international market. Sometimes price also vary from province to province. Over all AIL has flexible price for his entire customer to capture maximum market shares 2.7.4 Distribution strategy Distribution Distribution is very important activity of marketing without distribution there is no concept of product and producer. Market channels are the set of the interdependent organization involved in the process of marketing a product or services available for the use or consumption. Here strategies involved the management of the channels by which ownership of the product is transferred from producer to customer and in many cases the system by which the goods are moved from producer and purchased directly by final customers. Distribution strategy As AIL is producing an industrial product and having a name of market leader in the market of ghee and cooking oil. Even before a product is ready for market, the management of the company determines which methods and route will be used to get it, theyre at customer end. This requires establishing strategies for the products distribution channels and physical distribution. Managing a distribution channel often begins with a producer. AIL having its own direct distribution system. Company is responsible to deliver the product to doorstep of the customer. Company has their own transport through trucking. Company has their own go down based in factory for local and export purpose. If customer found any defective material, companys sales executive lifts that material and credit note to the customer, no middleman involved in all of this process. Company has their own distribution setup for export in Afghanistan. 2.7.5 Promotional strategy Promotion as an element the organization marketing mix that serves to inform, persuade, and remind the market of a product and or the organization selling it in hope of influencing in the recipients feeding, beliefs or behavior.

Chapter 4 Analysis of Associated Industry Limited 4.1 Financial 1analysis Financial analysis is a process which involves reclassification and summarization of information through the establishment of ratios and trends. Financial statement analysis is the process of examining relationships among financial statement elements and making comparisons with relevant information. It is a valuable tool used by investors and creditors, financial analysts, and others in their decision- making processes related to stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. The goal in analyzing financial statements is to assess past Turnitin Originality Report https://turnitin.com/newreport_printview.asp?eq=0&eb=0&esm=-3&oid... 6 of 10 20-Jun-14 6:42 PM performance and current financial position and to make predictions about the future performance of a company. Investors who buy stock are primarily interested in a company's profitability and their prospects for earning a return on their investment by receiving dividends and/or increasing the market value of their stock holdings. Creditors and investors who buy debt securities, such as bonds, are more interested in liquidity and solvency: the company's short-and long-run ability to pay its debts. Financial analysts, who frequently specialize in following certain industries, routinely assess the profitability, liquidity, and solvency of companies in order to make recommendations about the purchase or sale of securities, such as stocks and bonds. The analysis of financial statement refers to the examination of the statements for the purpose of acquiring additional information regarding the activities of the business. The users of the financial information often find analysis desirable for the interpretation of the firms activities. The overall objective of financial statement analysis is the examination of a firms financial position and returns in relation to risk. This must be done with a view to forecasting the firms future prospective. Analysts can obtain useful information by comparing a company's most recent financial statements with its results in previous years and with the results of other companies in the same industry. Three primary types of financial statement analysis are commonly known as horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. 4.2 Common Size Analysis Common-size analysis expresses comparisons in percentage. The use of percentages is usually preferable to the use of absolute amounts. Common size analysis can give analyst valuable approaching into changes that have occurred in a firms financial condition and performance. As common size analysis gives us relative percentage of an item with respect to total, so the growth or decline in various items of balance sheet and income statement cannot be detected from common size percentages. It has the following types: ? Horizontal Analysis ? Vertical Analysis 4.2.1 Horizontal 3Analysis This technique is also known as comparative analysis. It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories on a year-to-year or multiyear basis. The most important item revealed by comparative financial statement analysis is trend. A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done Turnitin Originality Report https://turnitin.com/newreport_printview.asp?eq=0&eb=0&esm=-3&oid... 7 of 10 20-Jun-14 6:42 PM by restating amount of each item or group of items as a percentage. Such percentages are calculated by selecting a base year and assign a weight of 100 to the amount of each item in the base year statement. Thereafter, the amounts of similar items or groups of items in prior or subsequent financial statements are expressed as a percentage of the base year amount. The resulting figures are called index numbers or trend ratios. Formula = Current Year amount / Base Year amount * 100 Horizontal analysis, whilst simple to execute and useful to a certain extent, has its limitations. These limitations include: ? Being highly dependent on the selection of base year and the period under examination in the financial model. ? Horizontal analysis provides little insight into why the trend occurred in a financial model. ? Horizontal analysis does not provide insight into whether the trend in the financial model results was superior/inferior to some benchmark. 4.2.1.1 Horizontal Analysis of Balance Sheet Table 4.1 ASSETS 2013(%) 2012(%) 2011(%) Property, Plant and Equipment 101.89 103.84 100 Long term Investment 119.04 - 100 Stores and Spares 113.01 99.28 100 Stock in Trade 212.98 124.26 100 Trade Debts 171.06 114.88 100 Loan, Advances and other Receivable 26.10 90.26 100 Trade Deposits, Prepayment 227.40 114.176 100 Other Receivables 119.33 100 Accrued Income on Financial Assets 24.58 93.64 100 Cash and Bank balance 72.02 88.54 100 Liabilities 2013% 2012% 2011% Trade and other Payable 136.69 114.01 100 Issued, Subscribed and Paid up Capital 100 100 100 Revenue Reserve 100 100 100 Un-appropriated Profits 148.09 91.32 100 Surplus on Revelation of Property Plant and Equipment 94.90 98.02 100 Long term Deposits 132.63 99.29 100 4.2.2 Vertical Analysis When using vertical analysis, the analyst calculates each item on a single financial statement as a percentage of a total. The term vertical analysis applies because each year's figures are listed vertically on a financial statement. The total used by the analyst on the income statement is net sales revenue, while on the balance sheet it is total assets. This approach to financial statement analysis, also known as component percentages, produces common-size financial statements. Common-size balance sheets and income statements can be more easily compared, whether across the years for a single company or across different companies. Vertical analysis is a technique for identifying relationship between items in the same financial statement by expressing all amounts as the percentage of the total amount taken as 100. In a balance sheet, for example, cash and other assets are shown as a percentage of the total assets and, in an income statement, each expense is shown as a percentage of the sales revenue.
