FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Financial management, as an integral part of over all management is not a
totally independent area. It draws heavily on related disciplines and field of study,
such as Economics, Accounting there disciplines are in related, there are key
references among them.
Financial management refers to its relationship with the closely related
fields, its function, scope and objectives. Financial as academic discipline as
under gone fundamental changes in its scope and coverage. In the early years of
its evolution it was treated synonymously with the rising of funds. In the current
literature pertaining to financial management in addition to procurement of funds
efficient use of resources is universally recognized.
Definition of Financial management:
Ezra Solomon has defined “The Financial Function as the study of the
problems involved in the use and acquisition of funds by a Business”.
Scope of financial management:
The approach to the scope and the functions of financial management is
divided for the purposes of expositions into two broad categories.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
a) The traditional approach.
b) The modern approach.
Traditional approach:
The traditional to the scope of financial management refers to its subject
matter in academic literature in the stage its evolution as the separate branch of
academic study. The term “Corporation Finance” was used to describe what is
known in the ac academic world as financial management.
Modern approach:
The modern approach views the term Financial Management in the broad
sense and provider a conceptual and analytical framework for financial decision
making.
Objectives of Financial Management:
The objectives of financial management are
1) Profit maximization approach.
2) Wealth maximization approach.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
1. Profit maximization approach:
According to this approach actions that increase profits should be
undertaken and those that decrease profits are to be avoided. In specific
operational terms as applicable to Financial Management, the profit maximization
criterion implies that the investment, financing and dividend policy decisions of a
firm should be oriented to the maximization of profits.
2. Wealth maximization:
This is also known as value maximization or net present worth
maximization. In current academic literature value maximization is almost
universally accepted an appropriate operational criterion for Financial
Management decisions as it removes the technical limitation which characterizes
the earlier profit maximization criterion. Its operational features satisfy all the
three requirements of a suitable operational objective of financial courses of
actions namely exactness, quality of the benefits and the time value of money.
The financial statements just provide the financial ingredients of a firm.
One should analyze to identify where the strengths and weakness of the company
are hiding. So the study on ratio analysis have been taken by me in order o know
efficiency and liquidity of a firm.

WORKING CAPITAL
INTRODUCTION
Working capital management involves the relationship between a firm’s
short-term assets and its short-term liabilities. The goal of working capital
management is to ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that it
has sufficient ability to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming
operational expenses. The management of working capital involves managing
inventories, accounts receivable and payable, and cash.
Working capital typically means the firm’s holdings of current, or short-
term, assets such as cash, receivables, inventory and marketable securities. These
items are referred to as circulating assets because of their cyclical nature. In a
retail establishment, cash is initially employed to purchase inventory, which is in
turn sold on credit and results in accounts receivables. Once the receivables are
collected, they become cash-part of which is reinvested in additional inventory
and part going to profit or cash throw-off.
The need for working capital to run the day to day business activities
cannot be overemphasized. We will hardly find a business firm which does not
require any amount of working capital. Indeed, firms differ in their requirements
of the working capital.
There are two concepts of working capital—gross and net.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Gross 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
an include cash, Short-term securities, debtors, bills receivable and stock.
Net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and current
liabilities. Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders which are expected to
mature for payment within an accounting year and include creditors bills payable,
and outstanding expenses.
Working Capital is the capital that allows businesses to operate on a day-
to-day basis. Depending on the nature and the time period for which the working
capital is held in business, it can be classified as:
KINDSOF WORKING CAPITAL:

KINDS OF WORKING CAPITAL
ON THE BASIS OF CONCEPT ON THE BASIS OF TIME
GROSSWORKINGCAPITAL
NET WORKINGCAPITAL
PERMINANTWORKINGCAPITAL
TEMPORARY WORKING CAPITAL
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
PERMANENT (OR) FIXED WORKING CAPITAL:
Permanent Working capital is the minimum amount which is required to
ensure effective capitalization of fixed facilities and for maintaining the
circulation of current assets these are always a minimum level of current assets
which is continuously required by the enterprise to carry out its normal business
operations.
For example every firm has to maintain minimum level of raw materials
work- in –process finished goods & cash balance. This minimum level of current
assets is called permanent or fixed working capital of this part of capital is
permanently blocked in current assets.
TEMPORARY (OR) VARIABLE WORKING CAPITAL:
Temporary Working Capital is the amount of working capital which is
required to meet the seasonal demands and some special emergencies. Variable
Working capital can further classified as reasonable working capital and special
working capital most of the enterprises have to provide additional working capital
to meet the seasonal working capital .special working capital which is required to
meet special exigencies such as marketing research etc.
GROSS WORKING CAPITAL:
It is the amount of funds invested in the various components of current
assets this concept has the following advantages.
Financial managers are profoundly concerned with current assets.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES This will be provides the current amount of working capital at the right
time.
It enables a firm to realize the greatest return on its investment.
It helps in the fixation of various areas of financial responsibility.
It enables affirm to plan and control funds and to maximize the return on
investment.
NET WORKING CAPITAL:
In reference to the difference between current liabilities net working capita;
can be positive or negative. A positive net working will arise when current assets
exceeds current liabilities. As negative working capital occurs, where current
liabilities are in excess of current assets.
OPERATING CYCLE
Working capital is required because of the time gap between the sales and
their actual realization in cash. This time gap is technically termed as “operating
cycle” of the business.
In case of a manufacturing company, the operating cycle is the length of
time necessary to complete the following cycle of events...
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

In case of a “trading firm” the operating cycle will include the length of time
required to convert
i. Cash into Raw Materials.
ii. Raw Materials into Work In Progress.
iii. Work In Progress into Finished Goods.
iv. Finished Goods into Debtors
v. Debtors into Cash

NEED OF THE STUDY
Every business enterprise needs some amount of working capital. Working
capital is the lifeblood and nerve center of any business concern. The need for
working capital arises due to the time gap between production & realization of
cash from sales.
1). Solvency of the business: Sufficient working capital helps in maintaining
solvency of the business by providing uninterrupted flow of production.
2). Goodwill: Sufficient working capital enables a business concern to make
prompt payments and hence helps in creating and maintaining goodwill.
3). Easy loans: A concern having adequate working capital high solvency and
good credit standing can arrange loans from banks and others on easy and
favorable terms.
4). Cash discount: Adequate working capital also enables a concern to avail
cash discounts on the purchase and reduces cost.
5). Regular supply of raw-materials: Sufficient working capital ensures regular
supply of raw materials and continuous production.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

6). Regular payment of salaries, wages & other day to day commitments:
Adequate working capital enables regular payment of salaries, wages and
day to day commitments, which enhances production and profits of the
company.
7). Ability to face crisis: Adequate working capital enables a concern to face
business crisis in emergencies such as depression.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Cotton
Cotton is a soft, staple fiber that grows around the seeds of the cotton
plant. It is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant. The fiber most often is
spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile, which is the
most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today.
Processing of Cotton in India
In India the raw cotton, also called as Kapas is processed in a multi-
stage process described as below. The Products of processing are
I. Yarn.
II. Cottonseed Oil.
III. Cottonseed Meal.
I. Production of Yarn
KAPAS TO LINT: Kapas (also known as raw cotton or seed cotton) is unginned
cotton or the white fibrous substance covering the seed that is obtained from the
cotton plant. The first step in the process is, the cotton is vacuumed into tubes that
carry it to a dryer to reduce moisture and improve the fiber quality. Then it runs
through cleaning equipment to remove leaf trash, sticks and other foreign matter.
In ginning a roller gin is used to grab the fiber. The raw fiber, now called lint.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
15
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
LINT TO BALE: The lint makes its way through another series of pipes to a
press where it is compressed into bales (lint packaged for market). After baling,
the cotton lint is hauled to either storage yards, textile mills, or shipped to foreign
countries.
NOTE: The cotton seed is delivered to a seed storage area from where it is loaded
into trucks and transported to a cottonseed oil mill.
BALE TO LAP: Here the bales are broken down and a worker feeds the cotton
into a machine called a "breaker" which gets rid of some of the dirt. From here the
cotton goes to a "scutcher". (Operated by a worker also called a scutcher). This
machine cleans the cotton of any remaining dirt and separates the fibers. The
cotton emerges in the form of thin "blanket" called the "lap".
LAP TO CARDING: Carding is the process of pulling the fibers into parallel
alignment to form a thin web. High speed electronic equipment with wire toothed
rollers perform this task. The web of fibers is eventually condensed into a
continuous, untwisted, rope-like strand called a sliver.
SILVER TO ROVING: The silver is then sent to combing machine. Here, the
fibers shorter than half-inch and impurities are removed from the cotton. The
sliver is drawn out to a thinner strand and given a slight twist to improve strength,
then wound on bobbins. These Process is called Roving.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
ROVING TO YARN (SPINNING) : Spinning is the last process in yarn
manufacturing. Spinning draws out the short fibres from the mass of cotton and
twists them together into a long. Spinning machines have a metal spike called a
spindle which the thread winds around.
II. Production of Cotton Seed Oil
Processing of cottonseed in modern mills involves a number of steps. They are as
follows:
The first step is its entry into the shaker room where, through a number of
screens and air equipment, twigs, leaves and other trash are removed.
The cleaned seed is then sent to gin stands where the linters are removed
from the seed (delinted). The linters of the highest grade, referred to as
first-cut linters are used in manufacturing non-chemical products, such as
medical supplies, twine, and candle wicks. The second-cut linters removed
in further delinting steps, are incorporated in chemical products, found in
various foods, toiletries, film, and paper.
The delinted seeds now go to the huller. The huller removes the tough seed
coat with a series of knives and shakers. The knives cut the hulls (tough
outer shell of the seed) to loosen them from the kernels (the inside meat of
the seed, rich in oil) and shakers separate the hulls and kernels.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
17
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
The kernels are now ready for oil extraction. They pass through flaking
rollers made of heavy cast iron, spinning at high speeds. This presses the
meats into thin flakes. These flakes then travel to a cooker where they are
cooked at 170 degrees F to reduce their moisture levels. The prepared meats
are conveyed to the extractor and washed with hexane (organic solvent that
dissolves out the oil) removing up to 98% of the oil.
Crude cottonseed oil requires further processing before it may be used for
food. The first step in this process is refining. With the scientific use of
heat, sodium hydroxide and a centrifuge (equipment used to separate
substances through spinning action), the dark colored crude oil is
transformed into a transparent, yellow oil. This clear oil may then be
bleached with a special bleaching clay to produce a transparent, amber
colored oil.
The refined cotton seed oil has several advantages other than edible oils. It
contains mere advantage over other edible oils. It contains a large percentage of
Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) which maintain cholesterol in the blood at
a healthy level.
The quality of cotton oil depends on the weather prevailing during the time
that cotton stands in the fields after coming to maturity. Hence quality of oil
varies from place to place and season to season. The quality of oil is high in dry
seasons and low when the seed is exposed to wet weather in the fields or handled
or stored with high moisture. Further cotton seed cooking oil has a long span of
life due to the presence of vitamin E.

III. Production of Cottonseed Meal/Cake/Kapaskhalli
Kapaskhalli (cottonseed extraction/meal) is a byproduct of the cottonseed
industry.
Cottonseed is a by-product of the cotton plant, which is primarily grown for
its fiber. Although cotton has been grown for its fiber for several thousand
years, the use of cottonseed on a commercial scale is of relatively recent
origin.
Cottonseed was a raw agricultural product, which was once largely wasted.
Now it is being converted into food for people; feed for livestock; fertilizer
and mulch for plants; fiber for furniture padding; and cellulose for a wide
range of products from explosives to computer chip boards.

Cotton Varieties in India
Bengal Deshi mainly produced in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan.
Jayadhar mainly produced in the state of Karnataka.
Bunny (or) Brahma is mainly produced in the states of Maharashtra,
Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka.
Suvin is another variety produced in the state of Tamil Nadu.
H-4 (or) MECH1 is mainly produced in the states of Maharashtra, Madhya
Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh.
Role of Cotton Industry in Indian Economy
Over the years, country has achieved significant quantitative increase
in cotton production. Till 1970s, country used to import massive quantities of
cotton in the range of 8.00 to 9.00 lakh bales per annum. However, after
Government launched special schemes like intensive cotton production
programmes through successive five-year plans, that cotton production received
the necessary impetus through increase in area and sowing of Hybrid varieties
around mid 70s.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
20
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Since then country has become self-sufficient in cotton production
barring few years in the late 90s and early 20s when large quantities of cotton had
to be imported due to lower crop production and increasing cotton requirements
of the domestic textile industry.
Cotton production Areas in India
India is an important grower of cotton on a global scale. It ranks third
in global cotton production after the United States and China; with 9.50 million
hectares grown each year, India accounts for approximately 21% of the world's
total cotton area and 13% of global cotton production. The Cotton producing areas
in India are spread throughout the country. But the major cotton producing states
which account for more than 95% of the area under and output are:
1. Punjab.
2. Haryana.
3. Rajasthan.
4. Maharastra.
5. Gujarat.
6. Madhya Pradesh.
7. Andhra Pradesh.
8. Tamil Nadu.
9. Karnataka.
Of the nine cotton producing States in India, average yields are
highest in Punjab where most of the cotton area is irrigated.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
21
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
But the yields of cotton in India are low, with an average yield of 503
kg/ha compared to the world average of 734 kg/ha. The problem is also
compounded by higher production costs and poor quality in terms of varietals
purity and trash content.
However the Cotton plays an important role in the National economy
providing large employment in the farm, marketing and processing sectors.
Cotton textiles along with other textiles also contribute about 1/3rd of the Indian
exports.
Contribution of Cotton industry for Textile Industry
Cotton is the most important raw material for India's Rs. 1,50,000
crores textile industry, which accounts for nearly 20% of the total national
industrial production.
The cotton Industry is the backbone of our textile industry,
accounting for 70% of total fiber consumption in textile sector. It also accounts
for more than 30% of exports, making it India's largest net foreign exchange
industry. India earns foreign exchange to the tune of $10-12 billion annually from
exports of cotton yarn, thread, fabrics, apparel and made-ups.
The cotton Industry provides employment to over 15 million people.
And the area under cotton cultivation in India (9.5 million ha) is the highest in the
world, i.e., 25% of the world area.

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Steps taken by the Cotton Producers in India
Now-a-days the Indian Cotton producers are continuously working to
up-grade the quality and increase the cotton production to cope up with the
increased global demand for cotton textiles and to meet the needs of the 39
million spindles capacity of the domestic textile industry which presently
consumes about 12-14 million bales annually.
In India, cotton yields increased significantly in the 1980’s and
through the first half of 1980’s but since 1996 there is no increase in yield. In the
past, the increase in cost of production of cotton was partially offset by increase in
yield but now with stagnant yield the cost of production is rising. Besides low
yield, Indian cotton also suffers from inconsistent quality in terms of length,
micronaire and strength.
Policy of Government of India towards Cotton Industry
The Cotton production policies in India historically have been
oriented toward promoting and supporting the textile industry.
The Government Of India announces a minimum support price for
each variety of seed cotton (kapas) based on recommendations from the
Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices. The Government Of India is also
providing subsidies to the production inputs of the cotton in the areas of fertilizer,
power, etc…

Markets for Indian Cotton
The three major groups in the cotton market are
Private traders,
State-level cooperatives,
The Cotton Corporation of India Limited.
Of these three groups, private traders handle more than 70 percent of
cottonseed and lint, followed by cooperatives and the CCI.
The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd. for the year 2008-09 had
purchased 60.30 lakh quintals of kapas equivalent to 11.77 lakh bales valuing
Rs.1218.70 crores in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and
Karnataka. Beside these the Corporation had also carried out commercial
operations and purchased 2.71 lakh bales valuing Rs.285.82 crores in the year
2008-09 as compared to around 1.00 lakh bales valuing Rs.108.81 crores during
the previous year (i.e. for the year 2006-07).
Exports of Cotton
The main market for Indian cotton export is China. The other
markets also include Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. In July 2001, the union
government removed all curbs on cotton exports. As a result of these, now the
exporters are not required to obtain any certificate from the Textile Commissioner
on the registration, allocation, quality and quantity of export.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
24
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
India exported around 25 per cent cotton during 2008-09 and it is
estimated nearly 62 per cent exported to China.
During the year 2008-09 the prices of Indian cotton in early part of
the season being lower than the international prices, had been attractive to foreign
buyers and there was good demand for Indian cotton, especially S-6, H-4 and
Bunny, which had resulted in sustained cotton exports, which are estimated at
55.00 lakh bales
The Cotton Advisory Board estimated an 18-20 percent increase in
cotton exports to 65 lakh bales for Oct 2009- Sep 2010, as against its Aug 2009
estimate of 58 lakh bales.
Imports of Cotton
Despite good domestic crops, India is importing cotton because of
quality problems or low world prices particularly for processing into exportable
products like yarns and fabrics.
India imported just 721,000 bales of cotton in 2004-05. The imports
rose to 1,217,000 lakh bales in 2005-06, 4,700,000 lakh bales in 2006-07 and the
anticipated imports for the year 2007-08 are 550,000 lakh bales.
For the year 2007-08 the cotton imports into the country had once
again remained limited mainly to Extra Long staple cottons, like as previous year,
which were in short supply at around 6 lakh bales inclusive of import of around 2
lakh bales of long staple varieties contracted by mills during April-May 2009.

Role of Cotton seed oil in Indian Economy
The global production of cottonseed oil in the recent years has been
at around 4-4.5 million tons. Around 2 lakh tons are traded globally every year.
The major seed producers, viz., China, India, United States, Pakistan
are the major producers of oil. United States (60000 tons) is the major exporter of
cottonseed oil, while Canada is the major importer.
Cottonseed is a traditional oilseed of India. In India the average
production of cotton oil is around 4 lakh tons a year. It is estimated that, if
scientific processing is carried out the oil production can be increased by another
4 lakh tons.
In India, the oil recovery from cottonseed is around 11%. Gujarat is
the major consumer of cottonseed oil in the country. It is also used for the
manufacture of vanaspati. The price of cottonseed oil is generally dependent on
the price behavior of other domestically produced oils, more particularly
groundnut oil.
India used to import around 30000 tons of crude cottonseed oil,
before palm and soyoil became the only imports of the country. Currently, the
country does not import cottonseed oil.
Role of cottonseed meal in Indian Economy
India produces around 2 million tons of cottonseed meal a year.
However, in India mainly undecorticated meal is largely produced. Several
associations are promoting the production of decorticated cake in India and the
production of this is expected to increase in the country.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
26
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
India used to be a major exporter of cottonseed extraction around two
decades ago. However, the demand for other oil meals like soymeal, has lowered
the cottonseed demand globally. In addition, the low availability of decorticated
meal in India has also been a major reason for the fall in exports.
The major importers of Indian cottonseed meal (undecorticated) used
to be Thailand. India in 2003-04 exported only 50 tons of decorticated cottonseed
meal. In 2004-05, too there have been no significant exports. India does not
import cottonseed meal.
The Organizations dealing with the promotion of Cotton Industry in India
The organizations that try to promote the quantity and quality of Cotton in India
are
I. The Cotton corporation of India Ltd.,
II. Cotton Advisory Board.,
III. Cotton Association of India.
IV. Central Institute of Cotton Research.
I. The Cotton Corporation of India Limited
The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd. was established on 31st July
1970 as a Government Company registered under the Companies Act 1956. In
the initial period of setting up, as an Agency in Public Sector, Corporation was
charged with the responsibility of equitable distribution of cotton among the
different constituents of the industry and to serve as a vehicle for the canalisation
of imports of cotton.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
With the changing cotton scenario, the role and functions of the
Corporation were also reviewed and revised from time to time. As per the Policy
directives from the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India in 1985, the
Corporation is nominated as the Nodal Agency of Government of India, for
undertaking Price Support Operations, whenever the prices of kapas (seed cotton)
touch the support level.
The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd. Operations cover all the cotton
growing states in the country comprising of:
Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan in Northern Zone.
Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh in Central Zone.
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Tamil Nadu in Southern Zone.
II. Cotton Advisory Board
The Cotton Advisory Board is a representative body of Government/
Growers/ Industries/ Traders. It advises the Government generally on matters
pertaining to production, consumption and marketing of cotton, and also provides
a forum for liaison among the cotton textile mill industry, the cotton growers, the
cotton trade and the Government. It functions under the Chairmanship of Textile
Commissioner with Deputy Textile Commissioner as a Member Secretary.
III. The Cotton Association of India
The Cotton Association of India also called as the East India Cotton
Association (EICA) was declared as the statutory body by the Bombay Cotton
Contract Act on 28th December, 1922. Its purpose is to

Provide forms of contracts and regulate the marketing, etc. of
the contracts.
Fix and adopt standards or classifications of cotton.
Adjust by arbitration or otherwise controversies between
persons engaged in the cotton trade.
Acquire, preserve or disseminate useful information connected with the
cotton interests.
IV. Central Institute of Cotton Research
With a view to develop a Centre of excellence for carrying out long
term research on fundamental problems limiting cotton production the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research has established the Central Institute for Cotton
Research at Nagpur in April, 1976. CICR was simultaneously established at
Coimbatore to cater to the needs of southern cotton zone. CICR was established at
Sirsa in the year 1985, to cater to the needs of northern irrigated cotton zone. All
the three research farms are well equipped with tractors and other farm
implements and efforts are underway to initiate further developmental work in all
the farms.
The Vision of the CICR is to improve production and quality of
Indian Cotton with reduced cost to make cotton production cost effective and
competitive in the national and global market. The Mission of CICR is to develop
economically viable and eco-friendly production and protection technologies for
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

the next twelve years (till 2020).
The Current Scenario of Cotton Industry (2008-09)
The cotton production in the country has been increasing
continuously since last three years and the same has further gone up by around
11% during cotton season 2008-09 at a record level of 270 lakh bales as against
244 lakh bales during 2007-08. Gujarat has turned into a largest cotton producing
State with a record production-level of 93 lakh bales constituting around 34% of
the country’s total production.
The area under cotton cultivation during 2008-09 has also gone up by
around 6% at 91.58 lakh hectares as against 86.77 lakh hectares during 2007-08.
With wide usage of hybrid seeds throughout the country as well as
changed mindset of cotton farmers for adoption of better and improved farm
practices, the average productivity of cotton has crossed 503 kgs per hectare as
against 478 kgs during the previous year. The prices of Indian cotton in early part
of the season being lower than the international prices, had been attractive to
foreign buyers and there was good demand for Indian cotton.
Due to expectation of bumper crop, the mill demand in the beginning
of the season was subdued which put pressure on the cotton prices right from the
beginning of the season and has resulted into fall in cotton prices between October
2008 & January 2009. Cotton prices reached its peak level by end-March 2009
and there was some correction in cotton prices in April and May 2009. However,
on the whole, cotton prices remained better by almost Rs.3000 per quintal in
almost all varieties as compared to previous year.

Future of Cotton Industry in India
Considering the continual capital investments in the textile industry, the
Govt. of India may extend the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) by
the end of the 11th Five Year Plan (till 2012-2013), in order to support the
industry. Indian textile industry is massively investing to meet the targeted output
of $85bn by the end of 2011, aiming exports of $50bn. There is huge development
foreseen in Indian textile exports from the $17bn attained in 2006-07 to $50bn by
2010-11. The estimation for the exports in the current financial year is about
$19bn. There is substantial potential in Indian exports of technical textiles and
home-textiles, as most European companies want to set up facilities near-by the
emerging markets, such as China and India.
The global demand for apparel and woven textiles is likely to grow by 25
percent by year 2011 to over 35mn tons, and Asia will be responsible for 85
percent output of this growth. The woven products output will also rise in Central
and Southern American countries, however, at a reasonable speed. On the other
hand, in major developed countries, the output of woven products will remain
stable. Weaving process is conducted to make fabrics for a broad range of
clothing assortment, including shirts, jeans, sportswear, skirts, dresses, protective
clothing etc., and also used in non-apparel uses like technical, automotive,
medical etc…
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES It is been forecasted that the woven textile and apparel markets will sustain
their growth from current till 2011.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
The imports of apparel and textiles will rise from developed economies like
the USA and the western countries of Europe and Japan, along with some newly
emerged economies, such as South Korea and Taiwan. Certainly, import growth
has been witnessed vertical rise in the previous year.
Apparel is the most preferred and important of all the other applications.
Woven fabrics are widely used in apparel assortments, including innerwear,
outerwear, nightwear and underwear, as well as in specialized apparels like
protective clothing and sportswear. Home textile also contributes considerably in
woven fabric in products assortments like curtains, furnishing fabrics, carpets,
table cloths etc.
Special kind of woven fabrics are utilized in medical as well as industrial
applications. The medical applications include adhesives, dressing bandages,
plasters etc.
Where as, industrial applications includes;
• Geotextile - interior upholstery, trim, airbags and seat belts and lyre fabrics.
• Sailcloth - tent and fabrics used architectures, transportation and tarpaulins.
And many more applications…
The Indian Industry foresees huge demand for industrial woven products for
medical and automotive applications. Demand for woven fabrics is anticipated to
be rise vertically in the sector of home textiles.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Non woven sector has great future in terms of global demand, thus major facilities
of cotton yarn are currently concentrating just on home textiles. It is mandatory,
that the peak management of the cotton yarn manufacturers analyze the future
prospect and growing graph of demand for non woven products.
Conclusion
Anticipating massive growth in medical and automobile sectors, these sectors
assures substantial demand for non woven facilities in India. Albeit, home textiles
also will lure higher demand, there are specific demands for home textile facilities
also.
The 7th Five Year Plan has huge consideration on agricultural growth that
also includes cotton textileindustry, resulting a prosperous future forecast for the
textile industry in india. Indian cotton yarn manufacturers should rush forward for
joint ventures and integrated plans for establishing processing and weaving
facilities in home textiles and technical textiles in order to meet export target of
$50bn, and a total textile production of $85bn by 2009-2010.
Future Challenges for the Indian Cotton Industry
The challenges that are going to face by the cotton producers in India
for the season 2009-10 are:
Rupee appreciation
The increase in the value of the rupee gives only smaller import
orders to the cotton producers.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
34
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Cheaper Imports
The appreciated rupee value makes the cotton imports cheaper when
compared to past. So this aspect is also required to consider by the cotton
producers.
Low quality
The Quality of cotton is also far from satisfactory considering the
presence of a large number of contaminants. So the cotton producers are also
required to take care in this aspect.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT – AN OVERVIEW
Working capital may be regarded as the most important factor of a business;
its effective provision and utilization can do much to ensure the success of a
business.
While the efficient management may not only lead to loss of projects but also
to the ultimate shown fall of what other wise would be considered as promising
concern. A study on working capital is of major importance, because of its close
relationship with current day today operations of a business.
The term working capital stands for that form of capital which is required for
the financially of working or current need of the company. It is usually invested in
raw material work in progress finished goods accounts receivable and saleable
securities.
Management of working capital usually involves planning and controlling
current assets, namely cash and marketable securities, assets receivable and
inventories and also administration of current liabilities.
Working capital or current assets management is one of the most important
aspect of the over all financial management. It is concerned with the problem that
arises in attempting to manage the current assets.

accounting year and includes cash short-term securities, debtors, bill receivable
and inventories.

MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories.
1. Fixed capital
2. Working capital
Working capital is the amounts of funds necessary to cover the cost of
operating of enterprises.
Every business needs funds for two purposes for its establishment sand to
carry out its day-to-day operations. Long-term funds are required to create
production facilities through purchases of fixed assets such as plant, machinery,
land, building, and furniture etc. Investment in these assets represented that part of
firm’s capital, which is blinked on permanent or fixed basis and is called fixed
capital. Funda are also needed for short-term purpose for the purchase of raw
material, payment of wages and other day-to-day expenses. These funds are
known as working capital funds thus invested current assets keep revolving fast
and are being constantly converted into cash and these cash flows ot again in
exchange for other current assets. Hence it is also known as revolving or
circulating capital short-term capital. Circulating capital means current assets of a
company that are changed in the ordinary course of bs8iness from to another.
Role of working capital management in public sector concern
The salient features of working capital management in public sector
undertakings are presented below;
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
51
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
There is often no provision for working capital margin, when the project
cost is estimated. Hence long –term funds are not made available for
working capital margin. This means that public sector undertakings are
required to raise all the financing required for current assets from short-
term sources.
Most of the public sector undertakings are capital-intensive industries like
steel, heavy engineering, oil refining etc. Hence the ratio of current assets
to fixed assets in public sector undertaking, in general is rather low.
Apparently public sector undertakings do not have much difficulty in
obtaining can now obtain short term financing from all nationalized banks,
which are generally quite accommodations. Since the risk involved in
lending is minimized, commercial banks seem to be quite liberal in
extending credit to the public sector concerns.
Management of inventories in public sector undertakings rather tax. This is
evident from the high inventory to sales ratios found foremost of the public
sector concerns.
PRINCIPLES & CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The need for working capital varies with the changes in the volume of business
due to
Changes in the level of sales /operating expenses
Managerial policy changes
Changes in managerial new technologies

“WORKING CAPITAL” may be regarded as the life blood of a business its
effective provision can do much to ensure the success of business, while its in
efficient management can lead only to loss of profits but also to the ultimate
downfall of what otherwise might be considered as a promising concern, A study
of working Capital is of major importance to internal and external analysis
because of its close relationship with the current day to day operations of a
business working capital is the leading cause of that position of the assets of a
business which are used in or related to current operations and represented at any
one time by the “Operating Cycle” of such items as against receivables ,
inventories of raw materials , stores., work in progress & finished goods,
merchandize, notes or bills receivables and cash. The assets of this type are
relatively temporary in nature.
The definition of working capital is qualitative in character. Working
capital represents the total of all current assets In other words it is “gross working
capital”. It is also known as CIRCULATING CAPITAL or CURRENT
CAPITAL, of current assets are rotating in their nature. Working capital is
essentially circulating capital that includes cash, inventory and receivables
circulating in nature. In an accounting working capital is the difference between
current assets and current liabilities. This is also termed as “net working capital”.
Concepts o f net working capital enables a firm to determine how much amount is
left for operational requirements.

OBJECTIVES OF WORKING CAPITAL
The need for working capital cannot be over emphasized. Every business
needs some amount of working capital. The need for working capital arises due to
the time gap between production and realization of cash from sales
For the purchase of materials, components & spares
To pay wages & salaries
To increase day to day expenses & overheads cost such as fuel, power &
office expenses etc
To meet the selling cost as packing, advertising etc
To provide credit facilities to the customer
To maintain the inventors of raw material, work-in –progress, stores, spaces
& finishes stock. There are two important objectives of a working capital i.e.
profitability and liquidity which are conflicting to each other.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
54
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
PROFITABILITY:
It refers to the rate of return on investment with reference to current asset
levels and their use. For higher profitability d, the enterprise should invest less in
current assets and vice-versa. Because funds will not be locked up but are utilized
to the maximum extent. But this may result I n liquidity and stock outs on account
of deficiency of working capital funds. Therefore, the planning and control of
working capital aims at trading of between profitability and liquidity. This is th e
major dimension in the working capital management in practice.
ADVANTAGES OF ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL:
Working capital is the lifeblood and nerve center of business. Just as circulation
of blood is essential in the human body for maintaining life, working capital is
very essential without an adequate amount of working capital. The main
advantage of maintaining adequate amount of working capital is as follows:
Solvency of the business
Good will
Easy loans
Cash discounts
Regular supply of raw materials
Regular payment of salaries, wages and other day to day commitments
Exploitation of favorable market conditions
Ability to face crisis
Quick and regular return on investments
High morale

INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL:
Every business concern should have adequate working capital to run its
business operations. It should have neither redundant excess working capital nor
inadequate / shortage of working capital.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXCESSIVE WORKING CAPITAL:
Excessive working capital means idle funds which earn no profits for the
business and hence the business cannot earn a proper rate of return on its
investments
Where there is a redundant working capital, it may lead to unnecessary
purchasing and accumulations of inventories causing more chances of
theft , waste and losses.
Excessive working capital implies excessive debtors and defective credit
policy, which may cause higher incidence of bad debts
It may result into overall inefficiencies in the organization.
When there is an excessive working capital relations with banks and other
financial institutions may not be maintained
Due to low rate of return on investment, the value of shares may also fall
The redundant working capital gives rise to speculative transactions
DISADVANTAGES OF SHORTAGE WORKING CAPITAL:
A Concern, which has inadequate working capital, cannot pay its short-term
liabilities in time. Thus, it will lose its representation and shall not be able
to get good credit facilities
It cannot buy its requirements in bulk cannot avail of discounts etc
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

It becomes difficult for the firm to exploit favorable market conditions &
undertake projects due to lack of working capital.
The firm cannot pay day today expenses of its operations and it creates
inefficiencies, increase cost& reduces the profits of the business
It becomes impossible to utilize efficiency the fixed assets due to non-
availability of liquid funds.
The rate of return on investments also falls with shortage of working capital

important ones are
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
59
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Nature of business
Seasonality of operations
Production policy
Market conditions
Conditions of supply
NATURE OF BUSINESS:
The working capital requirements of firms are closely related to the nature of its
business. A services firm, like an electricity undertaking or a transport
corporation, which has a short operating cycle and which sells predominantly on
cash basis, has a modest working capital requirement.
SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS:
Firms, which have marked seasonality in their operations usually, have
highly fluctuating working capital requirements. For example, consider a firm
manufacturing ceiling fans. The sale of ceiling fans reaches a peak during the
summer months and drops sharply during the winter period.
PRODUCTION POLICY:
A Firm marked by pronounced seasonal fluctuation in its sales may have a
production policy which may reduce the sharp variations in working capital
requirements.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA

MARKET CONDITIONS:
The degree of competition prevailing in the market place has an important
bearing on working capital needs. When competition is keen a larger inventory of
finished goods all required to promptly serving customers who may not be
inclined to wait because other manufacturing are ready to meet their needs.
SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITAL

The following are the key areas of working capital management.
1. Cash management
2. Receivable management
3. Inventory management

used broadly to cover currency and generally accepted equivalence of cash such
as cheques, drafts and demand deposits in banks
Motives for holding cash:
Keynes has identified five motives for cash holding those are:

(4) TURNOVER RATIOS
Another way of examining the liquidity is to determine how quickly certain
current assets are converted into cash. The ratios to measure these are referred to
as turn over ratio.
Relevant turnover ratios are….
1. Inventory turnover ratio
2. Debtors turnover ratio.
3. Working capital turnover ratio.
4. Current assets turnover ratio.
1. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO:
This ratio, also known as stock turnover ratio establishes the relationship
between cost of goods sold during a given period and the average amount of
inventory held during that period. It indicates the number of times inventory is placed
during the year or how quickly the goods are sold. It is a test of efficient inventory us
management. Higher the ratio, the better it is because it shows that finished stock is
rapidly turned-over. On the other head, a low stock turnover ratio is not desirable
because it reveals the accumulation of obsolete stock, or the carrying too much stock.
This ratio is calculated as follows;
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AU.CAMPUS..KAKINADA
91
MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES
Stock turnover ratio= cost of goods sold/ average stock
Cost of goods sold = opening stock+ purchase+ manufacturing expenses- closing
stock

MBA PROJECT AMARAVATHI TEXTILES (6)DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO
It indicates the efficiency of receivables management & shows how quickly
trade credit is collected. When a firm sells goods on credit, book debts are created.
Debtors are expected to be converted into cash over a short period. To a great extent,
the amount and quickly of debtors determine the liquidity position of the firm.
Debtor’s turnover or receivables turnover is calculated by dividing credit sales by
average debtors. This ratio indicates the number of times, on an average the debtors.
This ratio indicates the number of times, on an average the debtors or receivables
turnover each year. Generally, the higher the value of debtor’s turnover, the more
efficiency is the management of assets. Sometimes, data relating to credit sales,
opening balance and closing balance of debtors may not be available. Then debtor’s
turnover can be calculated by dividing total sales by closing balance of debtors.
Debtors turnover ratio= credit sales/ average debtors

Debtors turnover ratio= total sales/ closing debtors
