    PART-B

    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

    The working capital is the most critical problem in financial management.

    Importance of working capital management stems from two reasons viz.,

    A substantial portion of total investment is invested in current assets.

    Level of current assets and current liabilities will change quickly with the variation in

    sales.

    Hence the study of working capital position in the company is needed to understandthe concepts adopted by the top management.

    The main objectives of the Study

    To understand the theory part of working capital management.

    To understand the nature of the working capital management in Vega Auto Accessories..

    To analyze the effectiveness of working capital management through financial statements

    and ratios

    To analyze the effectiveness of working capital management by evaluating each

    component of the working capital.

    To understand the various sources of working capital and related strength and weaknessof working capital of Vega Auto Accessories.s.

    To evaluate an effective working capital strategy for the company in the light of the

    research findings.

    To study the changes in working capital over a period of 5 years.

    To study the efficiency and effectiveness of working capital management of the company.

    To know the profitability position of the company.

    1.3 SCOPE OF\WORUNG CA1ITALMNAGEMENT

    The scope of working capital management lies in testing of short run solvency and

    on the effectiveness with which the business is conducted. Tests of receivables and

    inventory should be regarded primarily as relating to solvency rather than to efficiency.

    Standards of turnover always are held as tentative for the final test of effectiveness of

    business management.

    IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

    In recent years, working capital management gained importance for a number of

    reasons some of them are mentioned below:

    The volume of resources deployed in current assets are huge in most of the industry and

    the cost of capital required to finance is also more The capital assets are more easily manageable in the sense that level are competitatively

    for shorter period and a wrong steps can more easily retrieved without causing much

    damage

    A little change in the purchasing and stocking programmer would make a lot of difference

    in the investment of fund in raw material and finished goods

    1.4 METHODOLOGY

    Methodology consists of different techniques adopted in data collection. Much

    needed information for the study was collected through various means.

    Location of the Study

    The study was conducted at Vega Auto Accessories.s ltd, Metagalli, K.R.S. Road,

    Mysore

    - 5710016. The study was done in the finance department of the Vega Auto Accessories.s

    ltd.

    Duration of the Study

    The duration of the study was six weeks.

    Data Collection Method

    In order to fulfill the objectives of the study, the data was collected from primary

    and secondary sources.

    Primary Source

    Discussion with HR Manager.

    Discussion with accounts manager and other departments executives.

    By personal observation of the activities of organization. Interview with the accounts staff members.

    Secondary Source

    Annual report for the past 5 years

    Journals, magazines

    Newspapers

    Internet

    Analysis

    The data collected for the study of working capital management is analyzed through

    general analytical method. Ratio analysis is used for the purpose of the analysis is depicted

    in tables and graphs.

    Tools and Techniques

    There are several tools of analyzing working capital, they are

    Statement of changes in working capital. Working capital ratios.

    1.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

    As we have no access to other records except the annual reports the interpretations of the

    study is not complete.

    The study is purely of academic interest. The inexperience makes the analysis less

    precious when compared to professional analysis. Hence conclusions from analysis of

    statement are not sure indicators.

    The study in this project does not solve into the problems of capital budgeting, fund flow

    analysis, tax and finance planning, foreign exchange, management and treasury operations.

    The study is limited as it being a study of static positional Figures and is not a study of

    patters of peaks and tough.

    Through a complete attempt has been made to include all the factors affecting the case

    study putting into writing, there is every possibility of some factors being left out due to the

    shortage of time and some due to the policy of the management to keep them confidential.

    2.2 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN IDBI ASSISTED

    TUBE AND TYRE COMPANIES

    Working capital management is concerned with the problems that arises in all

    employ to manage current assets and current liabilities and the inter relationship that existbetween them. 1DB! provided financial assistance to six tube and tyre companies of India,

    out of them five are profit making. The following are the some of the working capital

    management practices have been followed by 1DB! assisted tube and tyre companies.

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    5/54

    The short term liquidity position of the 1DB! assisted companies in terms of current ratio

    and quick ratio can be considered good as compared to tube and tyre industry as a whole,

    yet the IDBI assisted companies never satisfy the standard norms of these ratios throughout

    the study period.

    The tube and tyre industry succeeds in the effective use of working capital in terms of

    sales as compared to the IDBI assisted Tube and tyre companies. It can be observedthrough the mean working capital turnover ratio.

    Approximately one third of the current assets is invested in the form of inventory in both

    the 1DB! assisted companies and the tube and tyre industry in India.

    Approximately 60% of the current assets are invested in the form of trade receivables by

    tube and tyre industry in India.

    One major inference is more than 93% of the current assets are in the form of inventory

    and trade receivables and the remaining part (7%) is in the form of cash and bank balance

    and the other current assets.

    1DB! assisted companies followed of much liberal policy as compared to tube and tyre

    industry in India, which is a clear from the mean average collection period.

    The overall working capital management of the IDBI assisted companies and the tube andtyre industry can be considered effective, as clear from the calculated Y score which has

    been more than cut off point throughout the study period. But tyres and tubes industrys

    working capital management can be considered more effective rather than the 1DB!

    assisted companies as clear from the Y score.

    2.3 GUIDING PRINCIPLES ON THE STRUCTURAL ASPECT OF WORKING

    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

    The working capital management involves in one side, that of optimizing working

    capital investment and in other sides that of determining the quantum of investment in each

    component of the same capital.

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    6/54

    The following are the some of the guiding principles on the structural aspect of working

    capital management.

    The first one is the relationship between the level of working capital and sales. It states

    that if working capital is varied relative to sales, the amount of risk that a firm assumes is

    also varied and the opportunity for gain or loss increases. A positive relationship exists

    between the working capital and the sales. Therefore, when the level of working capitalrelative to sales decreases, the opportunity for gain from the investment increases and the

    opportunity for loss also increases.

    The second principle is concerned with the ideal level of working capital. It states that

    investment in each component of working capital may continue so long as the equity

    position of the firm increases. It implies that investment in working capital is to contribute

    to the increase in the net worth of the firm so that the business risk is minimized.

    The third principle deals with the risk resulting from the type of capital used to finance

    current assets. According to it, the type of capital used to finance the working capital

    directly affects the amount of risk that a firm assumes as well as the opportunity for gain or

    loss and the cost of capital. Generally, the cost of equity capital is greater than the cost of

    debt capital. The last principle relates to the matching of maturities of payables with the flow of

    internally generated fund. According to it, the lenders of short-term funds are interested to

    the firms repayment capacity and not to the earnings. Therefore, a firm should try to

    synchronize the date of maturities of short-term instruments with the flow of internally

    generated funds.

    2.4 WORKING CAPITAL - A TOOL TO CONTROL - OPERATIONS

    No business organization can operate without Working Capital. Working Capital in

    real sense means the requirement of funds to run the day-to-day business. It is the grease

    that keeps the activities/operations of organization running. Working capital as a tool to

    control activities of operations. Control of operation is elimination of unwanted

    activities/inventories and having fast movement of inventories.

    7/54

    Controlled Operations have Two following Powerful benefits

    It reduces requirement of working capital.

    Faster production and delivery of goods enable the organization to acquire new business.

    Effort of reducing working capital is a continuous exercise and it is an opportunityfor improvement. All the managers should try to sort-out the problem arising due to this.

    Every organization should institutionalize the process of collating and reporting working

    capital information to top management and top management should review these

    statements regularly.

    It is suggested that the responsibility of reporting should be given to persons other

    than operating managers so that operating managers can utilize the time available to act on

    the information collected. And the controlling of working capital is a team effort and not

    one-man show.

    2.5 MANAGEMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL IN SELECTED COOPERATIVES

    IN BOTSWANA

    Good corporate governance is now been considered as an urgent and important

    activity in most countries due to the move towards global competition and the pressure for

    privatization. This calls for most effective management of business assets. Financial

    management practices do provide a sound and effective framework for management of

    assets. It has been observed that investment in fixed asset has been receiving more

    emphasis in both management area and research. On the other hand effective working

    capital management, which has been receiving little attention from researchers, will yield

    more significant results and for this reason demands more serious attention from

    researchers and management.

    2.6 EFFICIENCY OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT IN INDIAN

    PUBLIC ENTERPRISES DURING THE POST-LIBERALIZATION ERA

    The NTPC achieved a higher level of efficiency in managing its working capital

    during the post-liberalization era by adopting itself to the new environment emanated from

    liberalization, globalization and competitiveness. It improved its liquidity status verysignificantly in the post-liberalization period as compared to the pre-liberalization period.

    Although the average working turnover in the post- liberalization period was slightly

    higher than that in the pre-liberalization era, the efficiency in working capital management

    of the company on the whole indicated the partial regression coefficients marked a

    considerable improvement in the post liberalization period.

    2.7 LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT OF HINDUSTAN PETROLEUM

    CORPORATION LIMITED

    Liquidity management is the most essential component of the financialmanagement. It plays most dominant role in the successful functioning of an enterprise.

    The liquid assets may be defined as the money and assets that are readily convertible into

    money different assets may be said to exhibit different degree of liquidity. The company

    should have sufficient liquidity otherwise it may not be in a position to meet its

    commitments and thereby may loose its creditworthiness.

    2.8 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT IN OIL INDUSTRY IN INDIA

    The management of working capital is one of the most important aspects of the

    overall financial management. The existence of an adequate working capital and its careful

    management can make substantial difference between the success and failure of an

    enterprise. Even in a well-established business with a long history of successful operation,

    careful attention to the management of working capital can result in greater profitability. It

    is important, therefore, for management to pay particular attention the planning and control

    of working capital.

    2.9 A COMPARITIVE STUDY OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

    IN CO-OPERATIVES AND PRIVATE SECTOR COMPANIES IN

    SUGAR INDUSTRY OF TAMIL NADU.

    CAPITAL is the limited productive resource in developing economies and proper

    utilization of these resources promotes the rate of growth, cuts down the cost of productionand above all improves the efficiency of the productive system. The total capital of a

    country comprises fixed capital and working capital. Fixed capital investment generates

    production capacity whereas working capital makes the utilization of that capacity possible.

    Working capital has acquired a great significance and sound position for the twin

    objectives of profitability and Liquidity.

    THE CORPORATE SECTOR IN INDIA

    Working Capital is taken to be the life-blood of a business. Lack of working capitalmay lead a business to technical insolvency and ultimately to liquidation. That is why,

    the working capital management of a firm is considered to be one of the most important

    tasks of financial managers. Working capital management involves decisions relating to

    current assets including decisions about how these assets are to be financed.

    be more precise the management of current assets. A firms working capital consists of its

    investments in currents assets which include short-term assets such as cash and bank

    balance, inventories, receivable and marketable securities. So the working capital

    management refers to the management of the level of all these individuals currents assets.

    2.12 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT- A STUDY OF SELECTED STATE

    ENTERPRISES OF KARNATAKA

    The working of the public sector in India has been criticized heavily for various

    reasons since the beginning. During the fifties, the rationale for the existence of the public

    sector was questioned and deliberated at great length. In the sixties and seventies, thecriticism was aimed more towards the proliferation of the number of undertakings with a

    lax control of their functioning and a lick of clear policies on various issues. A number of

    financial and non-financial problems have been said to be the reasons for non-performance

    of the Karnataka enterprises. Of all these it is the imprudent management of working

    capital that is assumed to be the single determining factor contributing to the unsatisfactory

    performance.

    Management of working capital has always been a fascinating subject from the

    academic point of view and it must be admitted that in the real world situation also,

    efficiency with which working capital is managed in a concern is of great significance for

    its overall well beings- its growth or decline. The relative importance of working capital

    varies from industry to industry. A firm in the capital goods industry may have relatively a

    lower percentage of the total investment in the current assets than what has to be blocked

    up in fixed assets. From that point of view working capital management assumes a greater

    importance in consumer goods in industry, trading firms etc.

    Working capital is considered as lifeblood in human body. It is a capital required to

    operate business on day-to-day basis and it varies according to the nature of business,

    production, sales policies, turnover, credit period, collection period, etc. Broadly working

    capital management can be described as the administration of all aspects of current assets

    and current liabilities. Liquidity means the capacity of the

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    11/54

    firm to convert the assets into realizable value in money. It measures the ability of the firm

    to honour all the maturing obligations. Profitability is the rate of return on firms

    investment. It implies that return on firms investment. It implies that return made on

    investment of fixed and current assets.

    2.15 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT IN VST - AN APRAISAL

    Liquidity is a complex phenomenon. Management of liquidity is probably the most

    important survival skill required in financial management. In the absence of adequate

    liquidity firms become technically insolvent and the rest of the apparatus of financial

    analysis becomes redundant. Inadequate and excess working capital are the two extreme of

    the continuum of liquidity management. While inadequate working capital results in risk of

    inability in meeting payments schedules, excess working capital adversely effects the

    profitability. A sound and systematic approach to the working capital management should

    ensure trade off between liquidity and profitability.(Source: M. Subramanya Sarma & Thiruvengala Chary, Mar 1999)

    In all concerns, the problem of effective working capital management is of paramount

    significance, as considerable amount of funds are invested in the form of various current

    assets. In the absence of proper and efficient management of working capital, it would be

    difficult to achieve the basic objective of its organizational efficiency.

    2.17 FINANCIAL LEVERAGE, EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND

    Financial leverage is primarily concerned with the financial activities, which

    involve rising of funds from the sources for which a firm has to bear a fixed charge. These

    sources include long-term debt and preference share capital. Long-term debts capital

    carries a contractual fixed rate of interest and its payment is obligatory. As the

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    12/54

    debt providers have prior claim on income and assets of a firm over equity shareholders,

    their rate of interest is generally lower than expected return equity shareholders. Further

    interest on debt capital is a tax-deductible expense. These two phenomena lead to the

    magnification of rate of return on equity capital and hence EPS. It goes without saying that

    the effect of changes in EBIT on the earnings per share is shown by the financial leverage.

    Financial leverage can best be described as the ability of a firm to use fixed financialcharges to magnify the effect of changes in EBIT on the firms earning per share.

    2.18 WORKING CAPITAL PERFORMANCE OF CORPORATE INDIA

    Management of working capital is a value creating exercise, since unlocking assets

    tied up in working capital could immediately increase operating cash flows, which, if used

    profitably, could lead to an improved profit after tax (PAT) and could enhance

    shareholders wealth. The objective is to mange the firms current assets and non-interest

    bearing current liabilities to achieve an optimal balance between profitability and risk, andcreate firm value.

    A well-designed and well-implemented working capital management must

    contribute positively to the creation of a firms value. Too much investment in inventories

    and receivables provides comfort of liquidity but reduces profitability. Too little investment

    in them or aggressive working capital financing strategy increases the risk of not being able

    to meet the commitments as and when they become due.

    A popular measure of working capital management is Days Working Capital (DWC), also

    known as cash conversion cycle. A firm may strategically design a long cash conversion

    cycle to have increased sales and better firm profitability. However, the firm profitability

    may suffer if the cost of financing the working capital needs exceed the benefits of

    maintaining a higher liquidity position.

    2.19 A GOAL PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR WORKING CAPITAL

    MANAGEMENT

    Working capital management holds an important place in the theory of finance. A

    large number of models, theories and techniques have been developed in

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    13/54

    the past towards the optimal allocation of funds, but most of the models, theories and

    techniques both mathematical and non-mathematical on working capital decisions of a firm

    developed so far have assumed the attainment of a single objective that is cost

    minimization or profit maximization or maintaining fair degree of liquidity etc.

    The goal-programming model permits a simultaneous solution of incommensurable

    objectives without having to reduce them to a single dimension. It can also permit asolution of conflicting objectives, and still yield a satisfying solution. Linear programming,

    and many such cases, would yield an infeasible solution. The goal programming approach

    can be used to obtain a solution to a problem involving (i) a single objective only (ii) a

    single objective with multiple sub- objectives (iii) multiple objectives (iv) multiple

    objectives with multiple sub- objectives.

    2.20 WORKING CAPITAL AND PROFITABILITY

    Working capital and management and profitability of the company disclosed bothnegative and positive association. In conventional production function approach for

    determination of relationship between output and profit, fixed capital is taken into account

    as explanatory variable amongst others, the role of working capital is ignored. It is

    therefore felt that there is the need to study the important role of working capital in profit

    generating process.

    If a company desires to take greater risk for bigger profits and losses, it reduces the

    size of its working capital in relation to its sales. If it is interested in improving its liquidity,

    it increases the level of its working capital. However, this policy is likely to result in a

    reduction of the sale volume, therefore of profitability. Hence, a company should choose

    between liquidity and profitability and decide about its working capital requirements. The

    impact of working capital on profitability has been examined by computing co-efficient of

    correlation and regression between profitability ration and working capital ratio.

    THEORITICAL ASPECT OF WORKING CAPITAL

    The finding of the present study titled, A study on working capital management at

    Vega Auto Accessories.s Ltd., is presented and discussed in this chapter.

    INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL

    Working capital may be regarded as the lifeblood of a business. Working capital

    management is an important aspect in the study of financial management. The goal of

    working capital management is to maintain the firm current assets and liabilities in such a

    way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained. This is so because if the firm

    cannot maintain a satisfactory level of working capital, it is likely to become insolvent and

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    14/54

    may even be forced into bankruptcy. The interaction between current assets and current

    liabilities is therefore, the main theme of the theory of working capital management.

    Definition of Working Capital

    Working capital can be defined as the excess of current assets over current

    liabilities. Current assets are those assets, which can be converted into cash within the

    current accounting period and current liabilities are the debts of the firm that have to be

    paid during the current accounting period or within a year.

    According to Prof. HARRY G GUTHAMAN and HEBERT I DANGALL, Working capital

    is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.

    But J.E.BEGAN states as the portion that circulates from one firm to another firm in the

    ordinary conduct of business.

    Concepts of Working Capital

    The working capital can be classified into two concepts:

    Gross working capital

    Net working capital

    Gross Working Capital

    It refers to the firms 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, (accounts receivable or book debts) bills

    receivable and stock (inventory).

    Net Working Capital

    It refers to the difference between the 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 (accounts payable), bills payable, and outstanding

    expenses. Net working capital can be positive or negative. A positive net working capital

    will arise when current assets exceeds current liabilities. A negative net working capitaloccurs when current liabilities are in excess of current assets.

    MANAGEMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL ENCOMPASSES THE FOLLOWING

    PROBLEMS

    Problems of deciding the optimal level of investments in current assets.

    Problems of deciding the optimal mix of short-term funds in relation to long- term capital.

    Location of sources of short-term financing.

    The study of working capital management is incomplete unless we have an overlook on

    the management of current liabilities.

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    15/54

    Need for Working Capital

    Working capital is generally required to meet day-to-day requirement like purchase

    of raw materials, payment of salaries, payment of wages and meeting other expenses. The

    need for working capital to run the day-to-day business activities is a must. Therefore everyfirm requires a certain amount of working capital to meet its obligations.

    The basic objective of financial management is to maximize shareholders wealth.

    This is possible only when the company earns sufficient profit. The amount of such profits

    largely depends upon the magnitude of sales. However sales do not convert into cash

    instantaneously. There is always a time gap between the sales of goods and receipts of

    cash. Working capital is required for this period; the company will not be in a position to

    sustain the sales activity. In case adequate working capital is not available for this period,

    the company will not be in a position to sustain the sales since it may not be in a position to

    purchase raw materials, pay wages and other expenses for manufacturing the goods to be

    sold.

    SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITAL

    The following are the major sources of working capital

    Accruals

    Trade credit

    Working capital advance by commercial banks

    Regulation of bank finance

    Public deposits

    Inter-corporate deposits

    Short-term loans from financial institutions

    Rights debentures for working capital

    Commercial paper

    Factoring

    METHODS OF ESTIMATING WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS:

    There are two methods usually followed in determining working capital requirements.

    They are:

    a) conventional method

    b) operating cycle method

    a) CONVENTIONAL METHOD:

    According to the conventional method cash inflow and outflows are matched with

    each other greater emphasis is laid on liquidity and greater importance is attached to

    current ratio, liquidity ratio etc., which pertain to the liquidity of the business.

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    16/54

    b) OPERATING CYCLE METHOD:

    In the words of O.M. Joy: the operating cycle refers to the length of time necessary

    to complete the following cycles of events.

    Conversion of cash into raw materials.

    Conversion of raw materials into working process. Conversion of work in process into finished goods.

    Conversion of finished goods into debtors or bills receivables through sales.

    Conversion of debtors or bills receivable into cash.

    The process of this cycle will repeat again and again over the period depending

    upon the nature of business and types of product etc. this can be represented in a figure as

    follows:

    The operating cycle shown in the figure above relates to a manufacturing firm

    where cash is needed to purchase raw materials and convert raw materials into work in

    process and then, work in process is converted to finished foods. Finished goods will be

    sold for cash or credit and ultimately debtors will be realized.

    The non-manufacturing firm, such as wholesaler and retailer will not have manufacturing

    phase, they have rather direct conversion of cash into finished stock, into accountsreceivable and then into cash.

    The operating cycle of a non manufacturing firm is shown in fig.

    Determination of operating cycle is helpful for control purposes with a view to

    improve previous working capital ratios. Secondly, this analysis emphasizes the total time

    lag within the operating cycle by indicating relative significance of its constituent parts.

    Thirdly, it provides a series of days equivalents, which can be used in budgeting of

    forecasting for translating sales and budgets of working capital value

    DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

    The following are some of the factors, which generally influence the working

    capital requirements of firms.

    Nature of Business

    Working capital requirements of a firm are basically influenced by the nature of its

    business. Trading and financial firms have a very small investment in fixed assets, but

    require a large sum of money to invest in working capital. Retail stores, for example, must

    carry large stocks of a variety of goods to satisfy varied and continuous demands of their

    customers. Some manufacturing businesses, such as tobacco manufacturers and

    construction firms, also have to invest substantially in working capital and a nominalamount in fixed assets.

    Sales and Demand Conditions

    The working capital needs of a firm are related to its sales. It is difficult to precisely

    determine the relationship between volume of sales and working capital needs. In practice,

    current assets will have to be employed before growth takes place. It is, therefore,

    necessary to make advance planning of working capital for a growing firm on a continuous

    basis.

    18/54

    Technology and Manufacturing Policy

    The manufacturing cycle comprises of the purchase and use of raw materials and

    the production of finished goods. Longer the manufacturing cycle, larger will be the firms

    working capital requirements.

    Credit Policy

    The credit policy of the firm affects the working capital by influencing the level of

    debtors. The credit terms to be granted to customers may depend upon the norms of the

    industry to which the firm belongs. But a firm has the flexibility of shaping its credit policy

    within the constraint of industry norms and practices. The firm should use discretion in

    granting credit terms to its customers.

    Availability of Credit

    The working capital requirements of a firm are also affected by credit terms granted

    by its creditors. A firm will need less working capital if liberal credit terms are available to

    it. Similarly, the availability of credit from banks also influences the working capital needs

    of the firm. A firm, which can get bank credit easily on favourable conditions, will operate

    with less working capital than a firm without such a facility.

    Operating Efficiency

    The operating efficiency of the firm relates to the optimum utilization of resources

    at minimum costs. The firm will be effectively contributing in keeping the working capital

    investment at a lower level if it is efficient in controlling operating costs and utilizing

    current assets. The use of working capital is improved and pace of cash conversion cycle is

    accelerated with operating efficiency. Better utilization of resources improves profitability

    and thus, helps in releasing the pressure on working capital.

    Price Level Changes

    The increasing shifts in price level make functions of financial manager difficult.

    He should anticipate the effect of price level changes on working capital requirement of thefirm. Generally, rising price levels will require a firm to maintain higher amount of

    working capital. Same levels of current assets will need increased investment when prices

    are increasing. However, companies, which can immediately revise their product prices

    with rising price levels, will not face a severe working capital problem.

    BALANCED WORKING CAPITAL POSITION

    The firm should maintain a sound working capital position. It should have adequate

    working capital to run its business operations. Both excessive as well as inadequate

    working capital positions are dangerous from the firms point of view. Excessive workingcapital means idle funds which earn no profits for the firm. Paucity of working capital not

  • 7/28/2019 working capital mgt.doc

    19/54

    only impairs the firms profitability but also results in production interruptions and

    inefficiencies.

    The Dangers of Excessive Working Capital are as follows

    It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventories. Thus, chances of inventory

    mishandling, waste, theft and losses increase.

    It is an indication of defective credit policy and slack collection period. Consequently,

    higher incidence of bad debts results, which adversely affects profits.

    Tendencies of accumulating inventories tend to make speculative profits grow.

    Excessive working capital may lead to carelessness of cost of production.

    Dangers of Inadequate Working Capital

    It stagnates growth of the firm. It becomes difficult for the firm to undertake profitableprojects for non-availability of working capital funds.

    It becomes difficult to implement operating plans and achieve the firms profit target.

    Operating inefficiencies creep in when it becomes difficult even to meet day- to-day

    commitments.

    Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized for the lack of working capital funds. Thus, the

    firms profitability would deteriorate.

    Paucity of working capital funds render the firm unable to avail attractive credit

    opportunities etc.

    The firm loses its reputation when it is not in a position to honour its short- term

    obligations. As a result, the firm faces tight credit terms.

    Advantages of Maintaining Adequate Working Capital

    Cash discount from suppliers.

    Liquidity and solvency can be maintained.

    Meeting unforeseen contingencies.

    High morale of executives.

    Good bank relation.

    Fixed assets efficiency can be increased.

    Expansion can be facilitated. Profitability will increase.

    Research and innovation programs can be undertaken.

    Goodwill and borrowing capacity will be high.

    WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

    Working capital management refers to the administration of all aspects of current

    assets, namely cash, marketable securities, debtors and stock and current liabilities.

    Components of Working Capital Management

    1. Management of cash and marketable Securities

    Cash is the most important current assets for the operation of the business. Cash is

    the basic input needed to keep the business running on a continuous basis; it is also the

    ultimate output expected to be realized by selling the service or product manufactured by

    the firm. The management of cash raises similar issues to those raised in relation to the

    management of stocks. There are costs involved in holding too much cash (e.g. investment

    opportunities foregone, loss of purchasing power during a period of rising prices etc) and

    also costs in holding too little cash (e.g. interest costs, lost goodwill etc). Thus, there is aneed for careful planning and monitoring of cash flows overtime.

    2. Receivables Management

    The term receivables mean the amount due from the debtors. They also include the

    bills receivables. An efficient management of these receivables is necessary because it

    involves a large amount of investment in current assets. It is fund that 1/3d of the current

    assets and nearly 11% to 15% of total assets are constituted by these receivables. In order

    to keep current customers and attracts new ones. Most manufacturing firms find it

    necessary to offer trade credit. Trade credit thus creates receivables as book debts, which

    the firm accepts to collects in near futures. A lucrative credit period increases sales and also

    the debtors.

    3. Inventory Management

    Inventories constitute the most significant part of current assets of a large majority

    of companies in India. On an average, inventories are approximately 60% of current assets

    in public limited companies in India. Because of the large size of inventories maintained by

    firms, a considerable amount of funds is required to be committed to them. It is, there fore,absolutely imperative to manage inventories efficiently and effectively in order to avoid

    unnecessary investment. A firm neglecting the management of inventories will be

    jeopardizing its long-run profitability and may fail ultimately. It is possible for a company

    to reduce its levels of inventories to a considerable degree, e.g., 10% to 20%, without any

    adverse effect on production and sales, by using simple inventory planning and control

    techniques. The reduction in excessive inventories carries a favourable impact on a

    companys profitability.

    ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

    OBJECTIVE: 1

    3.1 TO STUDY THE CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL OVER A PERIOD OF 5

    YEARS

    3.1.1 Analysis of Working Capital

    The financial management always tries to maintain an adequate working capital at

    every time, so as to carry on day-to-day operations of the firm successfully and

    economically. These are dangers in having too little or too more working capital.

    Therefore a through scouting into the current assets and current liabilities is to be made to

    control the working capital. The working capital balance of a concern has a positive value

    but often due to the intensive user of working capital, if it exceeds the sources thusindicating a deficit. These deficits must be detected and set off immediately. This process is

    known as analysis of working capital. It is a test of short-term solvency.

    The analysis of working capital becomes necessary to know

    If the management is using the working capital effectively.

    If the amount of working capital is adequate.

    If the current financial position is improving.

    The needs for the analysis are

    To maintain adequate working capital at every time.

    To minimize the cost of short term financing. To choose from the various sources of short term finance and employ them in times of

    need.

    To asses the effectiveness of the management of current assets.

    To study the trends in working capital positions.

    To maximize the earning per share of the equity shareholders.
