PREFACEPREFACE
This MBA curriculum has been architecture with the view of enabling the students to have an opportunity of
bringing their theoretical knowledge to practice. The concepts reinforce in the classroom would be better
expose if it could be actually observe being practiced complying with this objective the summer training is
designed to develop the student’s skills in analyzing and interpreting practical problems through the
application of theoretical concepts and techniques of management.
RSWM LTD. (A unit of LNJ Group), Banswara is known for its excellent survival from past 50 years. To
keep this organization evergreen was not so easy, with many whirlpools also company proved the theory of
survival of fittest. To know this company, I got a very good opportunity through summer training, exploring
a big scale & vibrant company is not so easy but I tried my level best to grab all the opportunities to know
this industry with the help of its employees who shared their experiences with me.
Banswara unit explains a lot of sagas related to its production, with the production the value of workforce
also. Any company is called as an organization, but a real organization is really hard to organize efficiently
& effectively. The power of machines or capital are not only enough for organization to run, but thousand
minds of different taste and culture, molded in one pot and to walk with so many diversity at one place and
show them single path of goal and productivity is really not very easy job.
As we say the world is changing, and to keep that same workforce changing with the environment is a real
challenge for any company. To train & manage workforce with a future goal is really very much planned and
effectively organized than only it is possible to stand in market where global scenario is flat and highly
competitive and with full of substitutes.
The financial sector is always the core of an economy’s growth. The subject matter of financial management
has been changing at a rapid pace. About three decades ago, the scope of financial management was
circumscribed to the raising of funds whenever needed., and little significance was attached to the financial
decision making and problem solving. The modern thinking in the financial management gives greater
importance to the management decision making and problem solving.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Books are the treasures of knowledge and a theoretical base is pivotal for understanding the realities of
practical field. But, at the same time, practical knowledge is crucial for having an insight into the
implementation of theory in corporate world.
With the privilege of an opportunity provided to me by RSWM Ltd. Banswara, for the fulfillment of my
purpose “bridging the gap between theory and practical”, I undertook forty-five days summer training at
finance department of RSWM Ltd. Banswara. Working capital is a considered as a life - blood for any
organization and the optimum utilization of its necessary from the profitability, liquidity and activity point of
view. By considering the importance of the working capital, this report covers the following area.
1. Cash Management
2. Receivables (UGAI) Management
3. Working Capital Finance
4. Inventory Management
5. Sources and Application of Working Capital
Beside this the ratio given at the end of report reveals some facts about the financial position of the company
and performance during last five years. It shows how company’s finance & accounts department takes their
decisions and run company efficiently and with handsome profit. This report is study of various part of
working capital like sources, application of funds done by Rswm Ltd. in their daily practice.
Here I have mainly focus on the utilization of resources done by them and how they control their debt time
to time with hardly any bed debt for any unit till dated with their firm policies and business tactics.
Finally, on the basis of the analysis and the conclusions draw a SWOT analysis has been done and
recommendations given. Therefore, a financial analysis of working capital of RSWM realizes that the
company has been able to manage its working capital efficiently thereby strengthening its short term
financial position. However, there are certain areas where the company is lagging and is required to take
some effective steps.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRYINDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
The Indian Textile sector has its roots going back several thousand years. Over the last 50 years the textile industry is one of the largest in the world with a massive raw material and textile-manufacturing base.
Textile accounts for 14% of India’s industrial production and around 30% of its export earnings. Around 35 million people are directly employed in the textile manufacturing activities.
The textile policy of 2000 aims at achieving the target of textile and apparel exports of US $ 25 billion by 2010 of which the share of garments will be US $ 25 billion. The main markets for Indian Textile and apparels are USA, UAE, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Canada, Bangladesh and Japan.
At present India has the second largest spinning capacity and ranks among the world’s largest producers of cotton, cotton yarn, and manmade fibers and filament yarns; it also has a large domestic, fabric supply.
There has been a structural shift taking place in the global textiles industry with capacities moving from high cost developed economies to the developing countries. The end of the quota restrictions with the dismantling of Multi fiber agreement in 2005 further accentuated this trend. This has added further growth opportunities for cost efficient Indian Players who have the scale and produce quality products. Because of the lifting up of the import restrictions of the multi-fiber arrangement (MFA) since 1 st January, 2005 under the world Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on textile and clothing, the market has become competitive on closer look however; it sounds an opportunity because better material will be possible with the traditional inputs so far available with the Indian Market.
There will be opportunities as well as challenges for the Indian textile industry in the post-mfa era. But India has natural advantages, which can be capitalized on strong raw material base-cotton, man-made fibers, jute silk, large production capacity (spinning-21% of world capacity and weaving-33% of world capacity.)
The industry expects investment of Rs. 140000 crore in this sector in the post-MFA phase. A vision 2010 for textile formulated by the government after intensive interaction with the industry and export promotions councils to capitalize on the upbeat mood aims to increase India’s share in world textile trade from the current 4% to 8% by 2010 and to achieve export value of US $ 50 billion by 2010. Vision 2010 for textiles envisages growth in Indian textile economy from the current US $ 37 billion to $ 85 billion by 2010; creation of 12 million new jobs in the textile sector; and modernization and consolidation for creating a globally competitive textile industry.
The future of textile industry in India will be amazing if we continuously improve over quality and give proper attention towards research and development and we can take lead of the world textile market. We have to accept the fact that no organization is too large or too powerful to be “unsinkable”. In a rapidly changing business environment companies which do not change disappear without a trace. Change and adaption is must for growth and prosperity. The fierce competition in the market realities dictate: “Perform or parish”.
Thus realizing the need of the hour various groups and individual shifted their focus of business rather than continuing in the same manner. One amongst them was Shri Laxmi Niwas Jhunjhunwala the founder of LNJ Bhilwara Group.

SWOT ANALYSIS25
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
STRENGTH :-
Demand of blended yarn will increase as the production of cotton is (limited attraction of PV is
replacing cotton, great share in exports one of the biggest earners).
Won SRTEPC highest export award for PV yarn exports it was also accorded “golden trading house
status”.
Experienced & enthusiastic marketing team. Strong sales depots & marketing offices at Mumbai,
Delhi, Bhilwara, Ludhiana, Ahemadabad and Indore.
Brand Reputation Global Marketing – LNJ Bhilwara group is famous in textiles in all over the world.
Well-equipped R&D SQC lab.
Modern machinery with latest techniques.
Not depended for power & water RSWM Banswara has its own power generation plant & presently
there are about 20000 surplus units of power is available. The daily requirement of power for
weaving project is only 93111 units per day. Water is also available in plenty at company’s own
campus & presently company has adequate water storage capacity.
Wide product range & flexibility in production according to requirement of market. RSWM
Banswara manufacturers various type of yarn of different counts & blends.
All the units are connected through V-SAT Gulabpura, Mumbai, Delhi, and Indore & Rishabdev.
The company has a great share in exports, one of the biggest earners.
Quality conscious approach as per ISO product & TQM gulabpura unit was the first India composite
textile unit to be certified with ISO 9002 1st September 1993, ISO certificate is necessary to
penetrate in the export market specially in the European in US market.
The most important thing is that they have good and healthy working atmosphere in company and
they provide ample no. of opportunities for everyone to satisfy their job desire.
Better packaging, carriage and transportation system with all modern equipments and good after
sales services.
Regular seminars and meeting are conducted in entire department in order to find their loopholes and
solution for the same.
WEAKNESS :-
26
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL Banswara is not connected through railway line & condition of roads is also poor so there is an
infrastructure problem.
Skill labor is not available at Banswara and Purchase Raw Material from one type of organization
only and bigger process cycle causes higher stock of raw materials.
Locations of depots (Consuming Centers) are far away from factory. Hence transportation cost and
time duration is increases in inventories.
Many process steps and process are more sensitive to normal process variations and small error
causes the big amount of wastage of material.
Being highly labor intensive unit, HR department is always under pressure and many times fails to
meet expectations of various departments and employees.
OPPORTUNITIES :-
After starting weaving project, Rajasthan spinning & weaving mills Ltd. Banswara may further go
for forward integration in garments sector, as people in domestic market are gradually moving
towards ready-made garments.
To develop & improve working environment of processing by using Eco-Friendly methods.
The company can rush into retail business and support from government like TUFF Schemes i.e. 5%
interest rebates to enhance investment in the textile industry.
Strategic alliances: Tie-ups with global manufacturers & brands for technology & market.
Tilt towards ready-made. India can become a major player in the textile export market at a global
market at a global level given the declining share of south-east Asian countries in this niche market
& rising wages in ASEAN region, wiping out their competitive edge.
RSWM may be innovating new product using different types of yarn & fiber like lyre & tennel.
Increased export demand is expected from planning out of capacities in developed world.
Efficiency can increase with the help of IT & ERP.
Post-MFA as on January-1, 2005, the world trade in textile & clothing will be fully liberalized. It
can capture a large market share if it provides quality product as reasonable price.
Market share of India is world trade of textile is only 2.8% therefore, another advantage that India
could have is that for countries which are not the member of WTO, imposing countries will have
obligation to proceed with removal of quota restriction. This is especially important with respect to
China, Taiwan, who accounts for 32% of world trade in textile, but are still not a member of WTO.
27
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
THREATS :-
Today textile industry is planning through in unpredicted recession. The reason for that is supply is
more than demand.
Cheap imports textiles from China, that is increasing free trade & competition.
Removal of quotas after – 2005 increasing more quality awareness i.e. competition in quality.
Changing trend in textile Indus try, changing requirement as people now preferring ready-made
garments.
Polyester Viscose is a substitute of cotton & is made from wood pulp & its supply is also limited.
Government policies are the main hurdles of division’s performance.
Finally, On the basis of preliminary discussions and referring to document Projects were prepared
and final reports were analyzed through ratio analysis. Definitive views about the entire gamut of
working capital management were formed. The various issues connected with working capital
management were understood.

General Information
The research work carried out here was actually a study work conducted at Rajasthan Spinning and
Weaving Mills Ltd, Banswara in finance & accounting department on the topic of the Working Capital
Management. The various data collected through method of discussion and no questionnaire was
designed for the purpose of the study. The information about the design of sampling is given as under.
Sampling
As discussing above, no questionnaire requires being prepared during the study and the selection of the
sampling was an easy task compare to other research work. Starting from the officer level (very bottom
level) to the general manager almost all 10 staff members were asked the different question related to
the Working Capital Management and department’s policy about it.
Sampling Design
The topic of the discussion is varied from person to person based on their position in the organization
and experience of working in the organization. The manager is asked to provide information about the
policy formation feasibility of its implementation where persons at officer or Sr. officer level are asked
to provide information about the current assets and current liabilities.
Research Tools
The figures of RSWM’s balance sheets are taken for last five years i.e. from F.Y. 2006 - 07 to 2010 –
11. They are used for calculating the ratio and also for interpreting the financial position of the
organization during that period of time. The annual reports of Rajasthan Spinning and Weaving Mills
Ltd are also used as a research tool for various other needs.

LIMITATIONS AND PROBLEMS FACED
Various information regarding unit is not shared in the report due to maintaining secrecy of the
company and following their terms and regulation.
Various information regarding unit was also not shared with trainee by company due to their rules,
regulation and policies.
Working Capital is wider concept and it requires more time for learning each and every aspect of it.
Hence there was time constraint too.
Unfamiliarity with culture and department of the company was also becoming a hurdle for producing
efficient output for trainee.
Trainee had less time for practicing regarding the learning of ERP at the time of training.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
INTRODUCTON
OF
WORKING CAPITAL
34
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
There are two concepts of working capital
Gross Working Capital
Net Working Capital
Gross Working Capital : - Simply called as working capital, refers to the firm’s investment in current
assets. Current assets are the assets which can be converted into cash within an accounting year (or operating
cycle) and include cash. Short-term securities, debtors, bills receivables and stock (Inventory).
Net Working Capital : - It refers to the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Current
liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected to mature to payment within an accounting year
and include creditors, bills payable and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can be positive and
negative. A positive working capital will arise when current assets excess current liabilities and vice – versa.
The concept of working capital – gross and net – are not exclusive, rather they have equal significance from
management view point.
Focusing on Management of Current Assets
The gross working capital concepts focuses attention on two aspects of current assets management: (A)
How to optimize investment in current assets? (B) How should current assets be financed?
The considered of the level of investment in current assets should avoid to danger points – excessive and
inadequate investment in current assets. Investment in current assets should be just adequate, not more than
less, to needs of the business firm. Excessive investment in current assets should be avoided because it
impairs firm’s profitability, as idle investment earns nothing. On the other hand, inadequate amount of
working capital can threaten the solvency of the firm because of its inability to meet its current obligations.
It should be realizing that the working capital needs of the firm might be fluctuating with changing business
activity. This may cause excess or shortage of working capital frequently. The management should be too
prompt to initiate an action and current imbalances.
Another aspect of the gross working capital points in the need of arranging funds to finance current assets.
Whenever needs for working capital arise due to do the increasing level of business activity or for any other
reason, arrangement should be made quickly. Similarly, if suddenly some surplus fund arises, then they
should not be allowed to remain idle, but should be invested in short term securities. Thus financial manager
should have knowledge of source of working capital fund as well as investment avenues where idle fund
may be temporarily invested.
35
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
Focusing on Liquidity Management
Net working capital, begin the difference between current assets and current liabilities, is a qualitative
concept. It (A) indicates the liquidity position of the firm and (B) Suggest the extent to which working
capital needs may be finance by permanent sources of funds. Current assets should be sufficiently in excess
of current liabilities to constitute a margin or buffer to maturing obligations within the ordinary operation
cycle of a business. In order to protect their interest, short-term creditors always like a company to maintain
current assets at a higher level than current liabilities. However, the quality of current assets should be
considered in determinate the level of current assets vice-versa current liabilities. A weak liquidity position
poses a threat to solvency of the company and makes it unsafe and unsound. A negative working capital
means a negative liquidity, and may prove to be harmful for the company. Excessive liquidity is also bad. It
may be due to mismanagement of current assets therefore, prompt and timely action should be taken by
management to improve and current the imbalance in the liquidity position of the firm.
Net working capital concept also covers the question of judicious mix of long-term and short-term funds for
financing current assets. For every firm, there is a minimum amount of net working capital, which is
permanent. Therefore, a portion of the working capital should be financed with permanent sources of funds
such as owner’s capital, debentures, long-term debts, preference capital or retained earnings. Management
must, therefore decide the extent to which current assets should be financed with equity capital or borrowed
capital.
In summary, it may be emphasized that both gross and net concepts of working capital are equally important
for the efficient management of working capital. There is no precious way to determine the exact amount of
gross, or net, working capital for any firm. The data and problems of each company should be analyzed to
determine the amount of working capital. There is no special rule as to how current assets should be
financed.

WORKING CAPITAL
AND
MANAGEMENT
37
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is concerned with management of current asset. It is an important and integral part of
financial management as short term survival is prerequisite for long term success.
The divisional management of RSWM Ltd. manages the working capital within the board frame work laid
by and with consultation of Corporation Finance Division (CFD). Decision regarding the utilization of the
current assets is made in accordance with the policy of company.
Working capital management or short term financial management is concerned with decision relating to
current assets and current liabilities.
WCM = Current Assets (CA) – Current Liabilities (CL)
The key difference between long-term finance management and short-term financial management is in term
of timing cash. While long- term financial decision like buying capital equipments or issuing debentures
involves cash flows over extended period of time i.e. more than one to five years or even more while short
term financial decision typically involve cash flows within a year or within the operating cycle of the firm.
WCM is management for the short- term which is critical to the firm. Managers spent about 70% in
managing for the short- term capital.
The operating cycle can be said to be at eh heart of the need for working capital.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The management of the finances of a business / organization is done in order to achieve financial
objective.
Taking a commercial business as the most common organizational structure, the key objectives of financial
management would be to:
Create wealth for business
Generate cash and
Provide an adequate return on investments bearing in mind the risks that the business is taking and
the resources invested.
There are three key elements to the process of financial management:
FINANCIAL PLANNING :-
Management need to ensure that enough funding is available at the right time to meet the needs of the
business. In short term, funding may be needed to invest in equipment and stocks, pay employees and fund
sales made on credit. In the medium and long term, funding may be required for significant additions to the
productive capacity of the business or to make acquisitions.
FINANCIAL CONTROL :-
Financial control is a critically important activity to help the business ensure that the business is meeting its
objectives.
FINANCIAL DECISION-MAKING :-
A key financing decision is whether profits earned by the business should be retained rather than distributed
to shareholders via dividends. If dividends are too high, the business may be starved of funding to reinvest in
growing revenues and profits further.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
ISSUES IN WORKING CAPITAL
Working Capital refers to the administration of all components of working capital-cash, marketable
securities, debtors (receivable) and stock (inventories) and creditors (payables). The financial manager must
determine levels and composition of current assets. He must that right sources are trapped to finance current
assets, and that current liabilities are paid in time.
There are many aspects of working capital management, which make it an important function of the
financial manager.
Time :- working capital management requires much of the financial manager time.
Investment :- working capital represents a large portion of the total investment in assets.
Critically :- working capital management has great significance for all firms but it is very critical for
small firms.
Growth :- the need for working capital is directly related to the firm’s growth.
42
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
FACTORS INFLUENCING WORKING CAPITAL
There is not set of rules or formula to determine the working capital requirement of the firms. Therefore, an
analysis of relevant factor should be made in order to determine total investment in working capital.
The main factors are :-
1. Nature of Enterprise :-
The nature and the working capital requirements of an enterprise are interlinked. While a manufacturing
industry has a long cycle of operation of the working capital, the same would be short in an enterprise
involved in providing services. The amount required also varies as per the nature; an enterprise involved in
production would require more working capital than a service sector enterprise.
RSWM is a manufacturing organization, because of which it requires lot of funds to be blocked in raw
materials for the production of Yarn. The cycle of operations at RSWM is quite long and thus it needs large
amount of working capital. 48% of total funds are invested in raw materials.
2. Manufacturing/Production Policy :-
Each enterprise in the manufacturing sector has its own production policy, some follow the policy of
uniform production even if the demand varies from time to time, and others may follow the principle of
'demand-based production' in which production is based on the demand during that particular phase of time.
Accordingly, the working capital requirements vary for both of them. RSWM follows continuous production
policy. The plants are operated 24 hours in different shifts. Demand factor is not considered here as Yarn is
sold by its marketing department. As the production continues for 24 hours, the investment in raw material
inventories is very high as interruption in production causes increase in cost of production because of high
set up cost of plants even need of raw material for power plant is always in demand for the same.
43
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
3. Operations :-
The requirement of working capital fluctuates for seasonal business. The working capital needs of such
businesses may increase considerably during the busy season and decrease during the slack season. Ice
creams and cold drinks have a great demand during summers, while in winters the sales are negligible.
As RSWM has policy of continuous production, it does not have to consider seasonal factors for its working
capital requirements. Its working capital does not vary with seasons.
4. Market Condition :-
If there is high competition in the chosen product category, then one shall need to offer sops like credit,
immediate delivery of goods etc. for which the working capital requirement will be high. Otherwise, if there
is no competition or less competition in the market then the working capital requirements will be low.
RSWM have to depend on market conditions as Polyester, Viscose and Cotton are always considered
essential for textile and for various manufacturing unit. So there is not much competition in this
industry for example: - Grasim Ind. has the monopoly for Viscose in the whole industry and Reliance
has the monopoly for Polyester.
5. Availability of Raw Material :-
If raw material is readily available then one need not maintain a large stock of the same, thereby reducing
the working capital investment in raw material stock. On the other hand, if raw material is not readily
available then a large inventory/stock needs to be maintained, thereby calling for substantial investment in
the same raw materials are very important aspect for arriving at working capital requirements at RSWM
because of two reasons mainly. First RSWM follows continues production policy so the raw materials are
used in very large quantum and second the raw materials like Cotton, Polyester (Reliance), Viscose (Grasim)
for manufacturing of Yarn. These raw materials are available in the lead time of maximum 4 days in each
case thereby large inventory stock is not needed to maintain but the market prices are very much fluctuating
therefore when the prices are favorable then raw material is purchased in adequate quantity.
44
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
6. Growth and Expansion :-
Growth and expansion in the volume of business results is enhancement of working capital requirement. As
business grows and expands, it needs a larger amount of working capital. Normally, the need for increased
working capital funds precedes growth in business activities.
RSWM has grown incredibly since its inception. Because of high growth it needs large amount of working
capital as the operations are handled at very large scale. RSWM has expanded its operations through
investing in many other important projects which compel them to invest immensely in working capital.
7. Price Level Changes :-
Generally, rising price level requires a higher investment in the working capital. With increasing prices, the
same level of current assets needs enhanced investment. The price level changes in raw materials hit very
hard to RSWM as the major investments are being done in raw materials. Most of the materials are imported
for outside India which involves risk of exchange rate fluctuations thus it needs high amount of working
capital.
8. Manufacturing Cycle :-
The manufacturing cycle starts with the purchase of raw material and is completed with the production of
finished goods. If the manufacturing cycle involves a longer period, the need for working capital would be
more. At times, business needs to estimate the requirement of working capital.
Manufacturing cycle affects a lot on working capital requirements at RSWM as the cycle takes lot of time to
convert raw material into finished goods. It takes around 7 to 8 days to complete one process of converting
raw material into final product. Therefore it is very necessary for RSWM to invest sufficient amount in
working capital.
At times, business needs to estimate the requirement of working capital in advance for proper control and
management. The factors discussed above influence the quantum of working capital in the business. The
assessment of working capital requirement is made keeping these factors in view. Each constituent of
working capital retains its form for a certain period and that holding period is determined by the factors
discussed above.
45
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
9. Technology :-
In Yarn Division, the technology used for production process is labor intensive in the manufacturing of yarn
which also involves heavy machinery due to which requirement if working capital is high.
10. Credit Policy :-
The credit policy of the firm affects working capital by influencing the level of the book debts. The RSWM
division allows different credit periods to its customers depending on the type of yarn and from which depo
it is purchased i.e. for SYNTHETIC YARN it is as follows:- a) Bhilwara- 7 days b) Ludhiana- 15 days c)
except Bhilwara and Ludhiana- 10 days and for COTTON YARN it is 20 days. If the payment is not made,
the high rate of interest is charged i.e. around 18 %. But for special customer they provide credit of around 3
months too. The company for the improvement of working capital ratio also allows the cash discount of 1%
if the payment is received in advance or the cheque is deposited in bank on the next day of dispatch.
11. Banking Facility :-
The RSWM Division mainly uses the banking facility of RTGS i.e. Real Time Gross Settlement for the
payment of suppliers. RSWM Ltd. has major account and deals it’s transaction with State Bank of Bikaner
and Jaipur and Punjab National Bank.
12. Business Fluctuation :-
The Operating Efficiency of the firm relates to the optimum utilization of resources at minimum costs. Better
utilization of resources improves profitability and thus helps in releasing the pressure on working capital.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The assessment of the working capital in the RSWM’s unit is done by the CFD with the consultation with
the management staff of the Co. and on the basis of the Co.’s previous year experience. This helps to
maintain efficiently fund for operation of the organization. There are main four components which plays
vital role for it which are as follows :-
INVENTORY
RECIEVABLE, (UGAI), (DEBTORS)
CASH MANAGEMENT
PAYABLES, (VENDORS), (CREDITORS)
INVENTORY
Inventory includes all types of stocks. For effective working capital management, inventory needs to be
managed effectively. The level of inventory should be such that the total cost of ordering and holding
inventory is the least. Simultaneously, stock out costs should also be minimized. Business, therefore, should
fix the minimum safety stock level, re-order level and ordering quantity so that the inventory cost is reduced
and its management becomes efficient.
Following are the types of inventory, which the company generally holds.
1 Raw Material :-
A raw material is the goods, which are required to produce the product of the firm. Raw materials are the
basic input of the production which is converted into finished goods after manufacturing process.
2 Goods in Production Process :-
These are the goods or inventories, which are under the production process, in other words we can say
goods in process or semi finished goods. They represent the products that need more work before they
become finished goods for sale.
48
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
3 Finished Goods :-
Finished goods inventory are those which are completely manufactured and ready for sale. Stock of raw
material or work in progress facilitates production, while stock of finished goods is required for smooth
marketing operations.
4 Stock Of Stores Materials :-
Stock of store materials includes spare and tools. Spares means the parts of the machinery and tools are
equipment, which are provided to the employees to the firm. These materials do not directly enter into
production but they are essential for production process.
NEEDS FOR HOLDING INVENTORY :-
Mainly there are two motives of holding inventories.
1. Transaction motive :-
A transaction motive emphasizes the need to maintain inventories to facilitate smooth production
operation
2. Precautionary motive :-
Precautionary motive necessitates holding of inventories to guard against the risk of unpredictable
changes in demand and supplies forces and other factors.
49
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
TECHNIQUES OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT :-
1. ABC ANALYSIS : - In ABC analysis, the entire goods in stores are divided into three categories
A, B, and C. it is the most effective way of the inventory management. Most of the firms are adopting
this technique. That is why ABC is also known as ALWAYS BETTER CONTROL. How the goods
are divided into three categories is mentioned below:
“A” category goods : - A category goods are high value goods, which incurred maximum cost of the
total inventory cost.
“B” category goods :- “B” category goods are those, which costs between Rs.10,000/- to Rs.50,000/-
“C” category goods :- “C” category goods involves goods which costs below Rs.10,000/-
2. FSN ANALYSIS :- In FSN technique all goods are categorizes into three categories. Fast moving
goods, slow moving goods and non moving goods. The rules of the FSN analysis may vary according to
company’s norms. The norms of FSN analysis at RSWM are mentioned below.
Fast Moving Goods :- Fast moving goods are those, which are used within three months.
Slow Moving Goods :- Slow moving goods are those, which are used between three to six months.
Non Moving Goods :- Non moving goods are those, which are used since in above six months

FUND FLOW STATEMENT
51
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
Meaning of Fund :-
Funds may means of changes in financial resources, arising from changes in working capital items and from
financing and investing activities of the enterprise, which may only involve non - current items.
Fund Flow Statement :-
The statement of changes in financial position, prepared to determine only the sources and uses of working
capital between dates of two balance sheets, is known as the funds flow statement.
As historical analysis, the statement of changes in working capital reveals to management the way in which
working capital was obtained. With this insight, management can prepare the estimates of the working
capital flows. A statement reporting the changes in working capital is useful in addition to the financial
statements. A projected statement of changes in working capital is immensely useful in the firm’s long-range
planning.
The working capital flow of fund arises when the net effect of a transaction is to increase or decrease the
amount of working capital.
The concept of working capital flow may be summarized as follows:
The net working capital increases or decreases when a transaction involves a current account and a
non-current account.
The net working capital remains unaffected when a transaction involves only current accounts.
The net working capital remains unaffected when a transaction involves only non-current accounts.

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
From the working capital statement comparison for the year ended on 31 st March, 2006 and 31st March, 2007
given above some of the fact revealed are as under.
The current assets decrease in the latter year by Rs. 344.47 Lacs.
The current liabilities decrease in the latter year by Rs. 1018.31 Lacs.
The reasons behind the decrease in current assets are as follows :-58
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
Decrease in debtors due to high competition in the market. Though company is giving more credit to
its customer as per needs of its segment through its various units but efficient credit policy has made
payments faster. Hence it caused a less application of funds for RSWM working capital.
Increase in inventory of Rs.263.20 Lacs is to meet the demand and requirements of its customers and
also the increased capacity of various units respectively for RSWM.
Decrease in Cash and bank balance was due to the fund used for expansion and renovation of various
units and due to such reasons cash balance decreased and it was used more by Rs. 61.94 Lacs. Hence
RSWM had to made more availability of fund for such application occurred in working capital.
Decrease in Export Incentive Receivable by Rs. 643.99 Lacs due to decline in government schemes of
DEPB, FMS, etc. on the export sales.
The reasons for the decrease in current liabilities are given as.
Increase in creditors for RSWM are due to expansion of various plants or units and hence requirement
of such plants or units increased in terms of raw materials and various other services. Hence to fulfill
such needs, more materials were purchased and creditors also provided good deal by giving more
credit days for making better relations with RSWM units respectively. Therefore amount increased by
Rs 56.71 Lacs and also become source of fund for working capital.
To make deal final and for guarantee purpose advance are taken from customer’s by various units of
RSWM. Such advance also generate source of fund for working capital and it provides more liquidity
to company needs of short – term fund, Banswara unit of RSWM has taken more advance of Rs.
177.19 Lacs in latter year.
59
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
RSWM has taken working capital loans from banks. Such funds work as sources for working capital
and they are one kind of short – term loans. But this year such loan decreased by Rs. 1155.72 Lacs as
they were paid off and in spite of being source they became as more application of fund for working
capital.
Due to all the above affect the net working capital increased by Rs. 673.84 Lacs.

decrease in demand of cotton lead to decrease in demand of yarn at the manufacturing level leads to
increase in debtors to avoid more storage of goods in the store by the amount Rs. 508.95 Lacs.

The current liabilities decrease in the latter year by Rs. 1484.59 Lacs.
The reasons behind the decrease in current assets are as follows :-
64
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL Decrease in debtors is due to global recessionary trend in the market which has affected all the units
and business of RSWM. Being a diversified business portfolio company tried to maintain its customer
and market share but due to the pressure on immediate customers export sales faced a steep downfall
and hence it brought decrease in debtor’s amount by Rs. 464.86 Lacs.
Decrease in inventory due to less demand of products in various field has caused the reduction of Rs.
1328.26 Lacs from previous year and it worked as a source for working capital.

payments for taxes and creditors as market was as demanding from previous year. Hence the amount
made used by them was Rs. 1075.20 Lacs and also decreased their source of working capital in huge
amount.
Heavy decline in Inter Unit Balance i.e. funds received from head office by Rs. 3614.82 Lacs resulted
in application of working capital which resulted in decrease in current assets.
The reasons behind the decrease in current liabilities are as follows :-
Increase in creditors due to recessionary trend in the market thus the market being not so demanding
creditors have also provided more credit days for various items in order to retain the same and which
caused the addition of Rs. 95.77 Lacs and it also increased the sources of working capital for various
units of RSWM.
RSWM has taken working capital loans from banks. Such funds work as sources for working capital
and they are one kind of short – term loans. But this year such loan decreased by Rs. 1695.12 Lacs as
they were paid off and in spite of being source they became as more application of fund for working
capital

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
As the market was getting over from the recession era especially in the second half of 2009 the
purchase of raw material increased to a huge amount to meet the increasing demand especially in the
export market as the pressure was called-off from the immediate customers. Thus the investment in
inventory was increased by Rs. 2954.58 Lacs.
Due to competition in the market RSWM have given more credit to its debtors around Rs. 539.58
Lacs for various products like Cotton Yarn, Synthetic Yarn etc.

payments for taxes and creditors as market was not as demanding from previous year. Hence the
amount made free by them was Rs. 960.86 Lacs and also increased their source of working capital in
huge amount.

the annual working requirement in the unit which has proved as the source of working capital for the
company and has affected the company’s working capital by Rs. 1721.45 Lacs.

Due to the upward trend in market the production has been increased as there was rebound in
consumption, increase in exports, increase in finished goods realization, etc. the creditors are
substantially increased by Rs. 149.9 Lacs.
RSWM’s various units had accepted money in form of “Advances from customer” from various
customers, creditors and outsiders and “Working Capital Loans” form Banks. Due to this effect the
rise of Rs. 197.20 Lacs and Rs. 682.94 Lacs respectively in current liabilities has occurred and it

\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL Increase in debtors due to competition for RSWM’s various units and financial crises was over so
more customers lead to increased demand in market which resulted in increase debts in less credit
period. Due it the increase in amount is of Rs. 2520.33 Lacs.
Increase in inventories is due to low prices of raw material in market and increased market demand
leads to heavy production of final goods resulted in heavy investment in inventories of around Rs.
6858.13 Lacs which was a high application of funds requiring high working capital.

for various licenses renewal and also for acquiring new ones which made effect of Rs. 418.78 Lacs for
RSWM’s Banswara unit. It has worked as more of application in working capital.

market for its credit due economy meltdown and bad position of market along with it various unit’s
modernization for better performances. Hence due to this effect cash balance reduced by Rs. 2.66 Lacs
in latter year and it worked as application of fund in working capital.

for meeting the requirements and therefore more funds was required which was not available so the
Inter Unit Balance was got heavily decreased by Rs. 6645.91 Lacs.

Increase in creditors because of sustaining their customer’s in this low demand market. This has caused
more days of credit and increased the amount by Rs.556.83 Lacs for RSWM’s Banswara unit. Such

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
As mentioned above, it shows the relationship between C.A. & C.L. according to measure the ideal ratio is
of 2:1 and min. required should be 1.33:1 for banks. Here we can see that ratio is fluctuating every year and
gone down below 2:1 in the year 2010-11 and the max. was 2.45:1 in 2009-10 financial year, up till 2010-11
analyses for last five years. Currently the ratio is of 1.73:1 and which has reduced from previous year and
has reached below min. level which is a matter of concern. Hence RSWM Ltd. has to keep close watch on
their current ratio and will have to try to maintain their efficiency in working capital management as well as
of company among its shareholders.
QUICK RATIO :-
Quick ratio establishes the relationship between quick assets and current liabilities. Generally it is used as a
measure of company’s ability to meet its current obligation. Mathematically it is given by

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
It can be seen that quick ratio is also fluctuating with year changing. The ideal ratio is considered of 1:1.
RSWM was inefficient in the year 2010-11 and doesn’t have sufficient fund to meet its current liability in
this year. The highest ratio of 1.62:1 in 2007-08 financial year in last five years. Currently the ratio is of
0.34:1 which is a matter of concern and in order to maintain it to above ideal ratio inventory should be
decreased or increased in a appropriate ratio.

By seeing the above facts and figure it can be said that by time spend the ratio have jumped from 2.83 to
7.42 and it has shifted company from low gearing to high gearing and it can reap the benefit of trading on
equity. RSWM’s long-term solvency is more satisfactory. All the ratio of the respective year was very much
high in comparison to the accepted norm of 2:1 which shows company high dependency on debt which is
not good and to be taken care of in the coming years.
LONG-TERM DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO :-

08. But in 2008 – 09 it started to use debt and the ratio come down up to 2.09 but again it was conservative
using debt in further years due to recession year of 2008-09 when company suffered heavy losses. An
interest cover of more than 7 times is regarded as safe which was up till 2007-08 and then again in 2009-10
and 2010-11. Cover of 2 times is min for any company considered by financial institutions.
OPERATING EXPENSE RATIO :-
Operating profit is after deducting operating expenses from the gross profit. The operating profit ratio is
given by the between operating profit and net sales. It means amount of operating profit for sales worth one
rupee. It is calculated in average. Mathematically it is given as
Operating Expense Ratio = 100%- Net Profit Ratio

Ratio 92.53 93.84 100.55 91.46 86.26
ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
RSWM has highest operating expense in the year 2008-09 i.e. 100.55% due to increase in price of fuel, raw
materials, and transportation for various materials and also low market demand. But the fiancé department
has showed the efficiency in controlling the expenses of the unit and dropping down the ratio to 86.26% in
the year 2010-11 which is at its lowest in the last five years and except the year 2008-09 the ratio for other
years was not more than 95% which is also good.
NET PROFIT RATIO :-
Similar to gross profit ratio, the net profit ratio will show the amount of net profit for the sales worth amount
of 1 rupee. The net profit ratio shows the profitability of the organization. Mathematically it is given as
Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit after TaxesNet Sales

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
It can be analyzed from above chart that net profit had a decline trend till the year 2008-09 where it has been
at its lowest point of -0.55% which was due to hike in the prices of fuel and raw materials and recession era
in the global market. But the company then improved its performance and rose its profits up to 13.74% in
the year 2010-11 which was due to high demand of RSWM products in market and efficient management of
working capital requirements.
FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO :-
It shows the relationship between the fixed assets and the net sales. It gives the amount of net sales in rupee
of fixed assets. Mathematically it is given as
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Fixed Assets

Ratio (a/b) 2.67 3.04 2.90 3.56 4.39
ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
It can be seen from the figures that management of RSWM has tried to improve every year for the better
usage of fixed assets. It can be seen that the graph have shown upward sign only, no downfall have been
recorded in last five years except a small deflection in the year 2008-09. Hence it shows the efficiency of
finance department of RSWM. Currently the ratio is of 4.39:1 and in last five years graph is on up trend for
Banswara Unit.
CASH RETURN ON ASSETS RATIO :-
It is quite similar to the above ratio. The only change is that here the cash from the operating activities are
compared with the total assets of organization. The effectiveness is measurement of cash management
compares to the total assets of the company. Here cash from operating activities is net profit + deprecation.
Mathematically it is given as
Cash Return on Assets Ratio = Cash from Operating Activities

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
Graphs of Cash return on assets ratio of RSWM have steeply fallen down in the financial year 2008 – 09
and 2010-11. It can be seen that it has gone down from 1.85 to 1.68 and there is constant downfall no sign of
improvement is seen. It may due to inefficiency of growth business performance as per their investment. It
should be in increasing trend and for this total assets should be increased in proportion with cash from
operating activities.
RETURN ON EQUITY (%) :-
The return on equity shows the amount of net profit with respect to the net worth of the company. Here net
worth contains the total amount of share holder’s fund i.e. equity share capital + reserves and surplus. This
ratio helps in comparing the performance of the company for two or more financial year and also shows
strength of the company in returns to its share holder. Mathematically it is give as.

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
Well it can be seen that RSWM’s performance has fallen down in the period of 2006-07 to 2008-09. The
reasons are changes in government policies, increase in various cost of raw materials, transportation, fuel
cost etc. for various units. Even market conditions have affected the business of RSWM too, as growth
business requires heavy capital investments and then to they are not able to perform well due to economy
crisis. Though RSWM’s didn’t had good performance in those last three financial years but on the basis of
good support and faith of share holders and ability of stability to survive in worse to worse conditions with
the support of HEAD OFFICE the company managed well to increase the ratio from -5.25% to 77.86% in
the past five years which shows the efficiency of the departments.
RETURN ON INVESTMENTS (%) :-
The return on investment shows the amount of net profit earned by the company with respect to total amount
invested as assets. It shows the profitability of the company and measures effectiveness of decision making
of the finance manager and also shows stability of the company. It is also known as ROACE.
Mathematically it is given as

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
It is seen that profits of RSWM have decreased in the years 2007-08 and 2008-09. The reasons are highly
competitive market with high cost of materials, labor, transport etc. along with unfavorable government
policies, poor condition of market and economy has also played a vital role for such poor performance.
Reduction in profit margin of RSWM’s so that it can sale its product at more cheaper and competitive rate in
market from others to sustain its customers. But the condition now improved a lot and RSWM has managed
to bring up its profits by 122.94% from the previous year’s profit due to improved market condition, low
prices of raw material, efficiency to top management and all other coordinating departments etc.
WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO :-
This ratio indicates the extent of working capital turned over in achieving sales of the firm. It also shows
how efficiently firm or finance manager of a company is using capital or resources effectively for meeting
the requirement of working capital.

Ratio (a/b) 7.22 5.04 8.20 5.32 8.20
ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
From the above figures and graph it can be said that RSWM’s various units finance managers and their
departments have shown their efficiency and their work from time to time, though working capital turnover
ratio graph has shown fluctuating figures from year to year. It shows how much concern of finance
department has for working capital. They have managed things were effectively for every unit. RSWM has
used working capital as per their needs and almost accurate estimation and never blocked the fund
unnecessarily. They have never gone below 2:1 ratio up till date from last 5 years. Hence it shows their
strength and stability for usage and allocation of funds for its diversified business portfolio.
DEBTOR’S COLLECTION PERIOD :-
Debtor’s collection period indicates days required to collect amount of credit sales from debtors. This
represents the number of days; the funds are blocked in debtors for a firm sells goods for cash and credit.
Credit is used as a marketing tool by a number of companies. So a firm must manage its credit policy well.
Debtors Collection Period = Debtors * 365 Sales

Ratio (a/b*365) 23 23 26 24 27
ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
RSWM’s has extended its collection period more in terms of days as per the need of market in recent trends.
From above it can be seen that as the year passed days also increased and RSWM’s needs of working capital
also increased due to blocking money for around 27 days from 23 days previously, then to they have very
low bad debts. Finance & Accounts department has worked very crucially on the extension of debtor’s
collection period along with marketing department. Hence the application of funds for working capital is
mainly done on this part along with inventories. The average collection period or UGAI period is of 30 days
given by RSWM’s various units to its premium and major customers.
(N ote : - As the figure of credit sales was not available, it has been assumed here that all the sales are credit
sales.)
CREDITOR’S DEFERRAL PERIOD :-
Creditor’s deferral period indicates the duration for which the suppliers provide credit facility. This duration
should be long enough so that company can convert the raw material into finished goods and sell it in the
market. Because the main source of revenue for any organization is its sales. Purchase is equal to Raw
Material Consumption + Closing Stock of Raw Material-Opening Stock of Raw Material. Hence the days
are:-

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
The average deferral period of creditors is 2.5 days which represents its strong liquidity position to pay its
obligations within 10 days for various units of RSWM. This ratio has gone down up till 3 days in 2008-09
year. In this year it is 5 days currently in 2010 - 11 which shows the creditability of RSWM’s in market and
its strong position financial wise. The fluctuation is due to changes in trends of market and creditor’s policy
for giving credit and per agreement dead. Such credit from creditor’s works as a use full source of working
capital for RSWM and it reduce burden for that year. It also reflects the reputation of RSWM’s various units
holds in market as creditors provide more service by lending more days of credit to make more healthy terms
and relation with RSWM’s units for having business.
(Note : - As the figure of credit purchase was not available, it has been assumed here that total purchases are
credit purchase.)
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO :-
The Inventory Turnover ratio indicates the movement of average stock holding of each item of material in
relation of its consumption during accounting period. Average stock is equal to opening stock + closing
stock divided by 2 for that year. Calculated days are as follows :-
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Average Stock * 365 Cost of Material

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION :-
It can be said that RSWM on an average has inventory turnover within 75 days. RSWM has high intensive
manufacturing units like synthetic yarn, cotton yarn, etc. which work 24 *7 for whole year. The raw material
required for various products are fetched from domestic market which require min.5 days after giving order
for procurement. They always try to minimize its days and always try to block its fund as less as it can be
possible and to minimize the application of funds for working capital. They work accordingly so that they
never get shortfall of materials and do not suffer loss by shutting down plants or various units due to such
reasons.
ESTIMATION FOR NEEDS91
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
OF
WORKING CAPITAL
The most appropriate method of calculated the working capital needs of a firm is the concept of operating
cycle. However, a number of other methods may be used to determine working capital needs in practice. We
shall illustrate here all these approaches which have been successfully applied in practice.
Current assets holding period :-
92
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL To determine working capital requirements on the basis of average holding period of current assets and
related them to costs based on the company’s experience in the previous years. This method is essentially
based on the operating cycle concept.
Ratio or Percentage of sales :-
It is a traditional and simple method of determining the level of working capital and its components. In this
method working capital is determined on the basis of past experience. If over the years the relationship may
be taken as a base for determining the working capital for future.
Ratio of fixed investment :-
To estimate working capital requirements as a percentage of fixed investment.
Regression analysis method :-
It is useful statistical technique applied for forecasting working capital relationship between sales and
working capital and its various components in the past years. The method of least squares is used in this
regard.
Working Capital Operating Cycle
The WC Cycle starts with the purchase of raw materials and ends with the realization of cash from
the sale of finished products. It plays an important part in determining WC requirements: longer the period
of this cycle, larger is the requirement of WC.
Various phase involved in WC operating cycle are as follows:
1) Acquisition of resources: It companies of -
93
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL Purchase of raw materials: Payment of raw material to raw-material suppliers after the credit
period allowed by them.
2) Manufacture of the product:
Conversion of raw material to work in progress.
Conversion of work in progress to finished goods.
3) Sale of Finished goods.
4) Realization of cash from debtors after the credit period allowed to them.
Operating Cycle
1) Accounts Payable period :- This is the period from the day of acquisition of raw material to the
payment of raw materials. In other it is the credit period allowed to the organization by raw material
suppliers.
2) Cash Cycle :- The period from the day of payment for raw material purchased till the realization of
cash against sales.
Cash Cycle = WC Operating Cycle – Accounts Payable Period
94
Cash
Receivables + Cost
Raw Material + Cost
Finished Goods + Cost

\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL 3) Inventory Period :- The period is beginning from the day of receipt of raw materials in the factory
till the day of dispatch of finished goods.
4) Accounts Receivable Period :- The period beginning from day of dispatch of finished goods to the
buyer and ending on the day of realization of cash against sales.
5) Operating Cycle :- The time that elapses between the purchase of raw materials and the collection
of cash for sales is referred to as operating cycle.
Operating Cycle = Inventory Period + Accounts Receivable Period.
OPERATING CYCLE CONCEPTS
There are two concepts of operating cycle :-
1) Gross operating cycle period
2) Net operating period.
GROSS OPERATING CYCLE PERIOD :-
The successive segments of the operating cycle are :-
1) Raw material storage period.
2) Conversion period.
3) Finished goods storage period.
4) Average Collection period.
The total duration of the entire segment mentioned above is known as gross operating period.
CASE - I
In case the company sells its products for cash then the segment of average collection period will
disappear from the gross operating cycle period and to that extent the total duration of the cycle gets
reduced.
CASE - II
In case advance payments are to be made for procuring materials, the operating cycle period
95
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL increases.
NET OPERATING CYCLE PERIOD :-
When the average payment period of the company to its suppliers is deducted from the gross
operating cycle period the resultant period is called net operating cycle period or simply operating
cycle.
It becomes obvious that the shorter the duration of operating cycle period, the faster will be the
transformation of current assets into cash.
The operating cycle approach is quite useful in :-
Managing
Controlling and
Forecasting working capital.
96
\
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
EVENTS OF OPERATING CYCLE
The operating cycle (working capital cycle) consists of the following event, which continues
throughout the life of business.
1) Conversion of cash into raw materials.
2) Conversion of raw materials into work-in-progress.
3) Conversion of work-in-progress into finished stock.
4) Conversion of finished stocks into accounts receivables through sale and
5) Conversion of accounts receivables into cash.
The duration of the operating cycle for the purpose of estimating working capital is equal to the sum of the
duration of each of above said events, less the credit period allowed by the suppliers.
In the form of an equation, the operating cycle process can be expressed as follows :- Operating cycle = R + W + F + D – C Where,R = Raw material and stores storage period. W = Work-in-Progress period.F = Finished goods storage period.D = Debtors collection period C = Credit payment period.
The various components of operating cycle may be calculated as :-
(1.) Raw Material = Average stock of raw material Average cost of production per day
(2.) Work-in Progress holding period = Average W-I-P inventory Average cost of production per day
(3.) Finished goods storage period = Average stock of finished goods Average cost of goods sold per day
(4.) Debtors collection period = Average book debts Average sales per day
(5.) Credit payment period = Average trade creditors Average purchase per day

ESTIMATION OF WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT AT RSWM
LTD. BANSWARA UNIT
Working capital requirement estimation is dealt with proper care and cautions. Working capital requirement
fixation is done with respect RSWM various units like Banswara unit, Bhilwara unit, etc. Some important
aspects of working capital like sales and debtors are considered here as these matters are to be taken care of
by RSWM BANSWARA office itself. BANSWARA UNIT sends its working capital estimation to RSWM’s
office situated in Kharigram (Bhilwara) on quarterly basis. Then RSWM’s office collects working capital
estimations of its every unit and merges them and then provides funds to individual units. The main aspect of
working capital in BANSWARA UNIT is its raw materials used in production of Grey Yarn like Synthetic
Yarn and Cotton Yarn, etc. While estimating its working capital needs, the main aspect to be focused on is
the funds blocked in raw materials. Working capital blocked in raw materials is estimated on the basis of the
production budget for the year. From production budget it comes to know what quantity of raw materials
will be needed to meet production targets. Then the lead time for every raw material is decided. Thus the
unit comes to know for how many days they will have to hold inventory of raw materials. The minimum
quantity needed is then multiplied to its rates and thus the unit arrives at its working capital requirement for
its production. Then the firm deducts the funds of creditors for raw materials.
The other current assets and current liabilities are taken from its monthly balance sheet and are shown with
10% variation for next quarter’s estimations. Hence it can be said that RSWM uses percentage or ratio of
Sales method generally for estimation of working capital for its various units.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL All the departments or various section of RSWM LTD. are inter linked with each other and the single entry
passed at one place can be seen at various places and has its effect on whole account nor on that particular
section. Suppose entry passed by Banswara depot or center will have effect on main units account as it is
linked to it and not on Banswara’s account only. ERP plays vital role in today’s high tech world. It saves
time and wastage of various stationary. Top management can view the data easily and at any point. It can be
said that Single access to ERP enables information to be drilled down across the cost centers as well as
viewed across the business segments. The single database permits information to be extracted for any cost
centre or profit centre while enabling easy solution for management review and actions.
It was a great pleasure and very value able learning asset which I got from this training was to work in ERP
environment. I learnt and operated ERP and also made various report by taking help of it. This ERP system
really has an edge on TALLY and it is really faster than TALLY. I also used TALLY and found the
difference in both. ERP has more advanced features and operating options which deal with the day to day
needs, it is friendly user and at a time multiple users can post entries and data in it from various or different
locations and ERP clubs and generate the accurate and perfect data presentation required by operator.
Learning of ERP in this training has added advantage for my initial stage of career as it will provide me
upper hand from other candidates for having experience and knowledge of working in ERP.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL From the above report, I can conclude that at present peoples and connected companies are 99% satisfied
with RSWM Ltd. They are well known in market for their business like Grey Yarn, Cotton Yarn, Dyed
Yarn, Graphite Electrodes, etc.
Any change in working capital will have an effect on business’s cash flows. A positive change in working
capital indicates that the business has paid out cash for e.g. in purchasing or converting inventory, paying
creditors etc. Hence an increase in working capital will have a negative effect on the business’s cash holding.
However a negative change in working capital indicates lower funds to pay off short term liabilities (current
liabilities) which may have bad repercussions to the future of the company.
Managing Working Capital is one of the pioneer’s and role-playing part of the company. RSWM Ltd.
manages its working capital very efficiently for its business. Each & every component of working capital is
dealt with expertise and experience of the finance & accounting department. The procedure is very simple
for estimating working capital requirement. Predetermined norms are applied wherever they are applicable.
Mainly working capital management is the function of finance department but many other departments like
production, purchase & marketing are involved in this procedure indirectly. Thus the effort from all the
departments of various units helps company to manage its working capital in a systematic manner. Being the
part and unit of LNJ GROUP also follows the main company norms and terms for calculation for
accounting of its working capital.
Hence this training helped me a lot to know the importance and function of working capital and its
component. Here I was able to relate what I had read in the books and learnt in class rooms. It is essential for
a person to know about the sources, application and needs of working capital for business in real life if one
will going to specialize in the field of finance and going to work for a company or as entrepreneur. I also got
a big opportunity to work in ERP environment. I also got value able tips and guidance about how to use ERP
for increasing one’s performance, accuracy and speed towards work.
