Working Capital Working capital – The firm’s total
investment in current assets.
Net working capital – The difference between the firm’s current assets and its current liabilities.
This chapter focuses on net working capital.
![Page 17: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15

Managing Net Working Capital
Managing net working capital is concerned with managing the firm’s liquidity. This entails managing two related aspects of the firm’s operations:
1. Investment in current assets
2. Use of short-term or current liabilities
![Page 18: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Risk-Return Trade-off
![Page 19: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
19
Use of Current versus Fixed Assets
Holding more current assets will reduce the risk of illiquidity.
However, liquid assets like cash and marketable securities earn relatively less compared to other assets. Thus larger amount liquid investments will reduce overall rate of return
The Trade-off: Increased liquidity must be traded-off against the firm’s reduction in return on investment.
![Page 20: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
20
Use of Current versus Long-term Debt
Other things remaining the same, the greater the firm’s reliance on short-term debt or current liabilities in financing its assets, the greater the risk of illiquidity.
Trade-off: A firm can reduce its risk of illiquidity through the use of long-term debt at the expense of a reduction in its return on invested funds. Trade-off involves an increased risk of illiquidity versus increased profitability.
![Page 21: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
21
Advantages of Current Liabilities: Return
Flexibility
Current liabilities can be used to match the timing of a firm’s needs for short-term financing. Example: Obtaining seasonal financing versus long-term financing for short-term needs.
Interest Cost
Interest rates on short-term debt are lower than on long-term debt.
![Page 22: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
22
Disadvantages of Current Liabilities: Risk
Risk of illiquidity increases due to:
Short-term debt must be repaid or rolled over more often
Uncertainty of interest costs from year to year
![Page 23: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Appropriate Level of Working Capital
![Page 24: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
24
Appropriate Level of Working Capital
Managing working capital involves interrelated decisions regarding investments in current assets and use of current liabilities.
Hedging Principle or Principle of Self-Liquidating Debt provides a guide to the maintenance of appropriate level of liquidity.
![Page 25: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
25
Hedging Principle
Involves matching the cash flow generating characteristics of an asset with the maturity of the source of financing used to finance its acquisition.
Thus a seasonal need for inventories should be financed with a short-term loan or current liability.
On the other hand, investment in equipment expected to last for a long time should be financed with long-term debt.
![Page 26: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Permanent and Temporary Assets
Permanent investments
Investments that the firm expects to hold for a period longer than one year
Temporary Investments
Current assets that will be liquidated and not replaced within the current year
![Page 27: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
27
Sources of Financing
Total assets will equal the sum of temporary, permanent and spontaneous sources of financing.
![Page 28: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
28
Temporary & Permanent Source
Temporary sources of financing consist of current liabilities such as short-term secured and unsecured notes payable.
Permanent sources of financing include: intermediate-term loans, long-term debt, preferred stock common equity
![Page 29: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
29
Spontaneous Sources of Financing
Spontaneous sources of financing arise spontaneously in the firm’s day-to-day operations. Trade credit is often made available
spontaneously or on demand from the firm’s supplies when the firm orders its supplies or more inventory of products to sell.
Trade credit appears on a balance sheet as accounts payable.
Wages and salaries payable, accrued interest and accrued taxes also provide valuable sources of spontaneous financing.

Hedging Principle Summary
Asset needs of the firm not financed by spontaneous sources should be financed in accordance with this rule:
Permanent-asset investments are financed with permanent sources, and temporary investments are financed with temporary sources.

Cash Conversion Cycle

Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
33
Cash Conversion Cycle A firm can minimize its working capital by
speeding up collection on sales, increasing inventory turns, and slowing down the disbursement of cash.
Cash Conversion cycle (CCC) captures the above.
CCC = days of sales outstanding + days of sales in inventory – days of payables outstanding.

Sources of Short-term Credit
Short-term credit sources can be classified into two basic groups:
Unsecured
Secured
![Page 36: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15

Unsecured Loans
Unsecured loans include all of those sources that have as their security only the lender’s faith in the ability of the borrower to repay the funds when due.
Major sources:
Accrued wages and taxes, trade credit, unsecured bank loans, and commercial paper
![Page 37: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
37
Secured Loans Involve the pledge of specific assets as
collateral in the event that the borrower defaults in payment of principal or interest.
Primary Suppliers: Commercial banks, finance companies, and
factors
Principal sources of collateral: Accounts receivable and inventories
![Page 38: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Keown Martin Petty - Chapter 15
38
Unsecured Source:Trade Credit Trade credit arises spontaneously with
the firm’s purchases. Often, the credit terms offered with trade credit involve a cash discount for early payment.
Terms such as 2/10 net 30 means a 2% discount is offered for payment within 10 days, or the full amount is due in 30 days
A 2% penalty is involved for not paying within 10 days.
![Page 39: Working-Capital Management Chapter 14](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55490faab4c90558458bcca2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Effective Cost of Passing Up a Discount
Terms 2/10 net 30The equivalent APR of this discount is:APR = $.02/$.98 X [1/(20/360)]
= .3673 or 36.73%
The effective cost of delaying payment for 20 days is 36.73%
