Caselet 1
Real Juice Company
The company is in the business of producing and marketing fruit juices. Ritu joshi and Rohit Jain were
looking at the ad copy and turning it over and over again in their mind. The copy read, “The best fitness plan
for you real fruit, honest juice and no sugar. This was the main copy line. The more Ritu joshi repeated this

line in her mind the uneasier she became. Something is wrong in the copy, she said to Rohit jain, the
marketing head. We cannot say best for health when we know for sure that the juice contain preservatives
and food color.
Rohit jain said, I don‟t see if anything is wrong in this. With food colors and preservatives added we couldn‟t
say it is best. This is what is wrong m replied Ritu.
Rohit said, but this is hyperbole and permitted by law. There is nothing wrong in saying this. Have you not
almost noticed all detergent brands say for best wash or whitest wash? This is simply a way of putting your
claim of brand‟s superiority. We are not talking about detergent washes and fabrics it is a health and fitness
fruit juice. We could not say something like‟, a great way to plan your fitness programme‟ or something like
that. We are saying real fruit, honest juice, and no sugar‟ … not a word about food color and preservatives‟.
Any consumer can contest our claim.”
Rohit Jain though for a moment then said, “let us get the legal opinion from our lawyer, Amit soni, to be on
the safe guard.
Amit listened to what Ritu had to say then said, “Companies use advertising to provide information to
consumers and offer alternatives in a competitive market situation. Advertising is false when it says A=B
and that is not true. But the ad is misleading; it falls under the category of unfair trade practice.” Loudly
reading the ad copy, Amit said‟” hyperbole such as best, newest most effective way, are permissible and
consumers are unlikely to take such claims with ant seriousness. When a brand says its air-conditioner is best
or most efficient, consumers know that this is just a manner of speech and do not truly believe and put their
money on such claims.
“Yes, Real juice passes the legal test fine, but ethically it won‟t be correct,” said Ritu joshi. “Please
understand. Here you are not making a claim,” said Amit soni.
Amit soni said,” comparative advertising is healthy but the advertiser must be clear about the claims to be
made. In this case, you are saying that Teal juice is good because it comes in cans and bottled drinks are not
as good. This is a direct attack on bottled drinks. Advertiser does not disclose all the parameters they have
considered in their conclusion of „best‟. They may select some major ones or may cheese to highlight the
trivial ones and ignore the major ones. These things happen every day and are not strictly provided under the
law. There must be prima facie evidence of damage or misrepresentation to establish a case of unfair trade
practice.” “so, we are legally safe,” said Rohit jain. “We will reword this campaign, but our other campaigns
have passed to muster.”
Ritu joshi felt differently, she said, “legally we may safe, but we have to also take an ethical view.”
We must not forget that our primary platform is health and fitness. This convenience angle is also crating
and impression of „good for health‟. I believe that as responsible advertisers, we have to be more concerned
about the ethical aspects than merely the legal angle. This is where we come to the line between what is legal
and what is ethical. We may be legally right but our act could be unethical if the word or pictures in the ad
could lead the consumer to believe something that is not true. The aura of the fitness instructor used as
endorser creates an impression that the information is coming to consumers from an environment where
there are people whose opinion consumer‟s view as being correct. Otherwise why use the instructor as
endorser.”
Question:
1. Analyze the issues in the case.
2. Why should advertiser bother about ethics if the ads measure up to legal parameters

Caselet 1
Everybody Bank was set up with a registered office at Gwalior in 1995-96 by a leading financial
organization, when the government liberalized its policies and allowed private sector banks to operate. The
branch at Gwalior was established on November 13, 1995. Everybody bank was the first private sector bank
to commerce its operations at Gwalior. The bank had the advantage of being the first and got good business.
Subsequently, other private sector banks also opened their branches in Gwalior. Dinesh joined the branch as
branch head in june-1998. His focus was to retain the leadership of the bank with improved profitability. He
adopted a multi-programmed strategy which yielded good results during the three years of working. The

Examination Paper of Risk Management
IIBM Institute of Business Management 3
bank not only continued to be a leader in private sector banks but also established nationalized banks. In
2001, it stood to the State Bank of India. Profitability also improved during these years.
Dinesh had joined Everybody Bank in 1997, after serving more than 20 years in a leading nationalized
bank. After serving for 1.5 years in other branches, he was posted at the Gwalior‟s branch as the Branch
head in June 1998. The new generation of banks was setup with a clear focus on the corporate sector during
its initial phases. The Gwalior branch of everybody bank also had the same focus with 85 percent of total
advances in the corporate sector and a residual 15 percent in the retail sector. Gradual opening up of the
economy, and increasing competition, forced the corporate sector to improve the quality of services and to
reduce the cost. In its search, the interest component gained focus and the corporate started looking for
avenues to mobilize low cost funds. RBI also gradually reduced the bank rate resulting in reduction of the
margin of profit, in the banks.
The deposits of the Gwalior branch consisted of high cost funds, namely, certificate of deposits at the rate
of 13-14 percent. The need of the hour was to collect the resources; therefore, all resources were tapped
irrespective of their costs. Considering the reduction in the margin of corporate sector, the bank changed its
focus from the corporate to the retail segment. It came up with the portfolio of schemes in the housing
loans, car loans, educational loans, loan against demat shares and personal loans. It resulted in the increases
of the share of retail segment from 15 percent to 50 percent and corresponding reduction in the corporate
segment from 85 percent to 15 percent. The strategy resulted in the improvement of the margin of the bank
to a level of 3-4 per cent.
Another strategy adopted by the bank, with a view to reduce the cost of resources, was to concentrate on
saving bank account and current account. With a view to tap the low cost funds, the strategy adopted was to
setup a network of branches in various cities. In 1998, there was only one branch in the city and by the end
of 2001 the number of ATMs across the city. The number of ATMs increased from one to five by 2001.
They also came up with services like mobile banking, internet banking etc.
Another important step taken by Dinesh in this direction was established high service standards. The
complaints from the customers were taken up seriously. Also, schemes of performance-linked
increment/bonus were adopted. The performance expectations of the management were high. The bank also
focused on all the areas of administrative cost very reduction. In this direction the staff requirement was
reviewed and the class four positions were reduced. The arrangements with taxi operators: courier service
companies were renegotiated for reducing the cost. For example, the courier cost per package was reduced
from Rs. 30 to Rs. 15. The executives voluntarily decided to travel in the economy class and do not during
the night, so as to avoid overnight stay charges. Although the not, the overtime allowances was permissible,
but in order to reduce the cost, the practice of payment of overtime was stopped. These strategies resulted in
saving of the bank, from Rs. 4.2 crores in 1998, to cover Rs 20 crores in 2001. total deposits increased
during these three years from Rs. 112 crores to 200 crores.
The assets of the bank had increased from 100 crore in 1998 to 267 crore in 2001. in addition to this, 65
crores were sanctioned in a non-fund limit. Dinesh also concentrated on improving the quality of assets.
The proactive approach of Dinesh resulted in the leading position of the branch during his tenure of three
years as the bank, i.e. , business per employee was the highest amongst all the 65 branches of the bank and
on the basis of profit per employee, the branch was ranked third. Achievements of Dinesh were appreciated
by the management in the meeting. After returning to his headquarters, sitting in his chamber he has
wondering as to what should be his future plan of action for further growth.
Questions:
1. Critically analyze the strategies adopted by Dinesh to retain the leading position.
2. What additional steps Dinesh could have taken to improve the profitability?

Credit Bank of Japan. The ICON specified that if the yen/US dollar exchange rate, ST , is greater than
169 yen per dollar at maturity (in 1995), the holder of the bond receives $1,000. If it is less than 169
yen per dollar, the amount received by the holder of the bond is
1,000- max[0, 1,000 (169 - 1)
ST
When the exchange rate is below 84.5, nothing is received by the holder at maturity. Show that this
ICON is a combination of a regular bond and two options.
2. Suppose that the risk-free zero curves is flat at 7% per annum with continuous compounding and that
defaults can occur halfway through each year in a new 5- year credit default swap. Suppose that the
recovery rate is 30% and the default probabilities each year conditional on no earlier default are 3%.
Estimate the credit default swap spread. Assume payments are made annually.
3. Suppose that 6- month, 12-month, 18-month, 24-month, and 30-month zero rates are 4%, 4.2%, 4.4%,
4.6%, and 4.8% per annum, respectively, with continuous compounding. Estimate the cash price of a
bond with a face value of 100 that will mature in 30 months and pays a coupon of 4% per annum
semiannually.
