    to have a check on the working capital of the organization. An ideal

    working capital is always necessary, and this will give a very good

    operating leverage to the company which has to be monitored time and

    again for running the organization without any financial descriptions.

    With the rapid growth in the industry and higher Competition level.

    Working capital have a pivotal role to play to sustain and growth thick

    and fast in this area of manufactures.

    REVIEW OF LITRACTURE

    INTRODUCTION

    The perfect world does not requires or concentrates about current

    assets or current liabilities because there would not be uncertainty, no

    transaction costs, information search costs, scheduling costs or

    production and technology constraints. The unit cost of production would

    not vary with the quantity produced. Capital, Labour and products

    markets shall be perfectly competitive and would reflect all available

    information. Thus in such an environment, there would be no advantage

    for investing in short term assets. Whereas, the world in which we live is

    not perfect. It is characterized by considerable amount of uncertainty

    regarding the demand, market price, quality and availability of own

    products and those of suppliers. There are transaction costs for

    purchasing or selling goods or securities. Information is costly to obtainand is not equally distributed. There are spreads between the borrowing

    and lending rates for investments and financing of equal risk. Similarly

    each organization is faced with its own limits on the production capacity

    and technology it can employ. There are fixed as well as variable costs

    associated with producing goods. In other words, the markets in which

    real firms operate are not perfectly competitive.

    These real world facts introduce problems and require the necessity

    of working capital. The most important areas in the day to day

    management of the firm, is the management of working capital. Working

    capital management is the functional area of finance that covers all thecurrent accounts of the firm. It is concerned with management of the level

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    11/60

    of individual current assets as well as the management of total working

    capital. 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.

    For example, an organization may be faced with an uncertainty

    regarding availability of sufficient quantity of crucial inputs in future at

    reasonable price. This may necessitate the holding of inventory ie.,

    current assets. Similarly an organization may be faced with an uncertainty

    regarding the level of its future cash inflows and insufficient amount of

    cash may incur substantial costs. This may necessitate the holding of a

    reserve of short term marketable securities, again a short term capital

    asset. The unpredictable and uncertain global market plays a vital role in

    working capital. Though the globalization of economy and free trading of

    products envisages the continuous availability of products but how much

    its cost effective and quality based varies concern to concerns.

    Working capital refers to the funds invested in current assets, ie.,

    investment in stocks, sundry debtors, cash and other current assets.

    Current assets are essential to use fixed assets profitably. The term

    current assets refers to those assets which in the ordinary course of

    business can be converted into cash within one year without undergoing

    diminish in value and without disrupting the operations of the firm. The

    current assets are cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and

    inventory. Current liabilities are those which are to be paid within a year

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    12/60

    out of the current assets or earnings of the concern. The current liabilities

    are accounts payable, bills payable, bank overdraft and outstanding

    expenses.

    The financial manager plays a vital role in management of working

    capital. The financial management of any business organization involves

    the three following vital functions:

    1. Management of Long Term Assets

    2. Management of Long Term Capital

    3. Management of Short Term Assets and Liabilities

    In most of the organizations the first & second one which refers to

    Capital Budgeting and Capital Structure respectively will be maintained

    and cope up with organization growth. The third one which refers to

    Working Capital Management requires more skills for sustaining and

    steady growth rate for any organization.

    The working capital management includes decisions

    i. How much stock/inventory to be hold

    ii. How much cash/bank balance should be maintained

    iii. How much the firm should provide credit to its

    customers

    iv. How much the firm should enjoy credit from its

    suppliers

    v. What should be the composition of current assets

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    13/60

    vi. What should be the composition of current liabilities

    For eg., a machine cannot be used without raw material. The

    investment on the purchase of raw material is identified as workingcapital. It is obvious that a certain amount of funds is always tied up in a

    raw material inventories, work in progress, finished goods, consumable

    stores, sundry debtors and day to day cash requirements. However the

    businessman also enjoys credit facilities from his suppliers who may

    supply raw material on credit. Similarly, a businessman may not pay

    immediately for various expenses. For instance, the labourers are pain

    only periodically. Therefore, a certain amount of funds is automatically

    available to finance the current assets requirements. However, the

    requirements for current assets are usually greater than the amount of

    funds payable through current liabilities. The satisfactory level of

    working capital is the main object of working capital management. Any

    organization which fails to maintain satisfactory level of working capital

    may be forced to bankruptcy. The current assets should always be large

    enough to cover its current liabilities in order to ensure a reasonable

    margin of safety. Thus the interaction between current assets and current

    liabilities is the main aim of working capital management.

    The basic objective of financial management is to maximize

    shareholders wealth. This objective can be achieved when the company

    earns sufficient profits. The amount of profits largely depends on the

    magnitude of sales. But, sales do not convert into cash instantly. There is

    time lag between the sale of goods and the receipt of cash. Working

    capital is required to purchase the materials, pay wages and other

    expenses in order to sustain sales activity the time lag. The time gap

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    14/60

    between the sale of goods and realization of cash is called operating

    cycle. What operating cycle stands for?

    a. Conversion of cash into raw materials

    b. Conversion of raw materials to finished goods

    c. Conversion of finished goods into receivables

    d. Conversion of receivables into cash

    WHERE IS WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS MOST CRITICAL?

    On the one hand, working capital is always significant. This is

    especially true from the lender's or creditor's perspective, where the main

    concern is defensiveness: can the company meet its short-term

    obligations, such as paying vendor bills?

    But from the perspective of equity valuation and the company's

    growth prospects, working capital is more critical to some businesses

    than to others. At the risk of oversimplifying, we could say that the

    models of these businesses are asset or capital intensive rather than

    service or people intensive. Examples of service intensive

    companies include H&R Block, which provides personal tax services,

    and Manpower, which provides employment services. In asset intensive

    sectors, firms such as telecom and pharmaceutical companies invest

    heavily in fixed assets for the long term, whereas others invest capital

    primarily to build and/or buy inventory. It is the latter type of business -

    the type that is capital intensive with a focus on inventory rather than

    fixed assets - that deserves the greatest attention when it comes to

    working capital analysis. These businesses tend to involve retail,

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    15/60

    consumer goods and technology hardware, especially if they are low-cost

    producers or distributors.

    2. CONCEPTS & DEFINITIONS OF WORKING CAPITAL

    There are two concepts of working capital

    1. Gross Working Capital : It represents the total current assets

    and is also referred to as

    circulating capital because current

    capital as current assets, are

    circulating in nature.

    2. Net Working Capital : It is a measure of liquidity and it

    can be defined in two ways.

    a. The most usually implied definition of net working

    capital is that it represents the difference between

    current assets and current liabilities. Some people also

    define it as excess of current assets over the current

    liabilities.

    b. It is that portion of the firms current assets, which is

    financed by long term funds.

    Nett working capital as a measure of liquidity is generally not very

    useful to compare the performance of different units due to difference in

    scales of operation, efficiency, and creditability in the market etc.,

    between the different firms. However it is a very useful measure for

    internal control purposes. It can also be used to compare the liquidity

    position of the same unit over a period of time. This will help in

    maintaining the acceptable level of net working capital.

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    16/60

    Implementing an effective working capital management system is

    an excellent way for many companies to improve their earnings. The two

    main aspects of working capital management are ratio analysis and

    management of individual components of working capital.

    A few key performance ratios of a working capital management

    system are the working capital ratio, inventory turnover and the collection

    ratio. Ratio analysis will lead management to identify areas of focus such

    as inventory management, cash management, accounts receivable and

    payable management.

    3. OBJECTIVES OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

    The main objective is to ensure the maintenance of satisfactory

    level of working capital in such a way that it is neither inadequate nor

    excessive. It should not only be sufficient to cover the current liabilities

    but ensure a reasonable margin of safety also.

    i. To minimize the amount of capital employed in financing

    the current assets. This also leads to an improvement in the

    Return of Capital Employed.

    ii. To manage the current assets in such a way that the marginal

    return on investment in these assets is not less than the cost

    of capital acquired to finance them. This will ensure the

    maximization of the value of the business unit.

    iii. To maintain the proper balance between the amount of

    current assets and the current liabilities in such a way that

    the firm is always able to meet its financial obligations,

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    17/60

    whenever due. This will ensure the smooth working of the

    unit without any production held ups due to paucity of funds.

    4. TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL

    A. Permanent Working Capital

    B. Temporary Working Capital

    PERMANENT WORKING CAPITAL:

    The operating cycle is a continuous feature in almost all the going

    concerns and therefore creates the need for working capital and their

    efficient management. However the magnitude of working capital

    required will not be constant, but will fluctuate. At any time, there is

    always a minimum level of current assets which is constantly and

    continuously required by a business unit to carry on its operations. This

    minimum amount of current assets, which is required on a continuous and

    uninterrupted basis is after referred to as fixed or permanent working

    capital. This type of working capital should be financed (along with other

    fixed assets) out of long term funds of the unit. However in practice, a

    portion of these requirements also is met through short term borrowings

    from banks and suppliers credit.

    For eg., In a manufacturing unit, basic raw materials required forproduction has to be available at all times and this has to be financed

    without any disturbance.

    TEMPORARY WORKING CAPITAL

    Any amount over and above the permanent level of working capital

    is variable, temporary or fluctuating working capital. This type of

    working capital is generally financed from short term sources of finance

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    18/60

    such as bank credit because this amount is not permanently required and

    is usually paid back during off season or after the contingency. As the

    name implies, the level of fluctuating working capital keeps on

    fluctuating depending on the needs of the unit unlike the permanent

    working capital which remains constant over a period of time.

    5. DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

    Working capital management is an indispensable functional area of

    management. However the total working capital requirements of the firm

    are influenced by the large number of factors. It may however be addedthat these factors affect differently to the different units and these keep

    varying from time to time. In general, the determinants of working capital

    which are common to all organizations can be summarized as under:

    a. Nature and Size of Business

    b. Production Cycle

    c. Business Cycle

    d. Production Policy

    e. Credit Policy

    f. Growth & Expansion

    g. Proper availability of raw materials

    h. Profit level

    i. Inflation

    j. Operating Efficiency

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    19/60

    6. ESTIMATING OF WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

    The amount of the different constituents of the working capital

    such as debtors, cash, inventories, creditors, etc are estimated separately

    and the total amount of working capital requirement is worked out

    accordingly.

    Percent Sales method is the most simple and widely used method

    in combination with other scientific methods. A ratio is determined for

    estimating the future working capital requirements. This is generally

    based on the past experience of the management as this ratio varies from

    industry to industry and unit to unit with in the same industry.

    Operating Cycle method points towards the length of time

    considered necessary to complete the following cycle of events:

    a. Purchase of raw materials by converting cash

    b. Storage of raw materials including for buffer stock and

    safety margin

    c. Conversion of raw materials into work in progress

    d. Conversion of work in progress into finished goods

    e. Conversion of finished goods into debtors and bills

    receivable

    f. Conversion of debtors into cash

    Cash Conversion Cycle is a measure of working capital efficiency,

    often giving valuable clues about the underlying health of a business. The

    cycle measures the average number of days that working capital is

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    20/60

    invested in the operating cycle. It starts by adding days inventory

    outstanding (DIO) to days sales outstanding (DSO). This is because a

    company "invests" its cash to acquire/build inventory, but does not

    collect cash until the inventory is sold and the accounts receivable are

    finally collected.

    The finance profession recognizes the three primary reasons

    offered by economist John Maynard Keynes to explain why firms hold

    cash. The three reasons are for the purpose of speculation, for the purpose

    of precaution, and for the purpose of making transactions. All three of

    these reasons stem from the need for companies to possess liquidity.

    SPECULATION:

    Economist Keynes described this reason for holding cash as

    creating the ability for a firm to take advantage of special opportunities

    that if acted upon quickly will favor the firm. An example of this would

    be purchasing extra inventory at a discount that is greater than the

    carrying costs of holding the inventory.

    PRECAUTION:

    Holding cash as a precaution serves as an emergency fund for a

    firm. If expected cash inflows are not received as expected cash held on a

    precautionary basis could be used to satisfy short-term obligations that

    the cash inflow may have been bench markedfor.

    TRANSACTION:

    Firms are in existence to create products or provide services. The

    providing of services and creating of products results in the need for cash

    inflows and outflows. Firms hold cash in order to satisfy the cash inflow

    and cash outflow needs that they have.

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    21/60

    Receivable are essentially loans extended to customers that

    consume working capital; therefore, greater levels of DIO and DSO

    consume more working capital. However, days payable outstanding

    (DPO), which essentially represent loans from vendors to the company,

    are subtracted to help offset working capital needs. In summary, the cash

    conversion cycle is measured in days and equals DIO + DSO DPO:

    7. SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITAL

    The working capital necessary and what constitutes working

    capital have been analyzed in depth. Now we look out what are the wayswe can generate working capital.

    a. Trade Credits

    b. Bank Credit

    c. Current provisions and non-bank short term borrowings: and

    d. Long term sources ie., equity share capital, preference share

    capital and other long term borrowings.

    Short term source of funds are generally available at comparatively

    lower costs but theoretically these funds can be called back any moment

    and therefore it is more appropriate to meet at least two thirds of the

    permanent working capital requirements from the long term sources. The

    advantages of long term sources is, it reduces risk as there is no need to

    repay the loans at frequent intervals and funds can be employed gainfully

    and it increases liquidity.

    Gross working capital provides the correct amount of working capital

    At the right time.

    It enable a firm to realize the greatest on its investments.

    It helps in the fixation of various areas of financial responsibility.

    It enable a firm to plan and control funds and to maximize the

    return of investment.

    PERMANENT WORKING CAPITAL

    Permanent or fixed working capital is the minimum amount

    required to ensure effective utilization of fixed assets and support the

    normal operations of the business. There is always a minimum level of

    the current assets which is continuously required by the enterprises the

    carry out its normal business operations.

    TEMPORARY OR VARIABLES WORKING CAPITAL:-

    Temporary working capital is the amount of working capital

    required for short period. It is intended to meet seasonal demand and

    some special Exchanges. Variable working capital cannot be permanently

    employed the gainfully in the business.

    BALANCE SHEET WORKING CAPITAL:

    The balance sheet working capital is one which is calculated form

    the items appearing in the balance sheet. Gross working capital which is

    represented by current assets and networking capital, which is represented

    by the excess assets over current liabilities are example of the balance

    sheet working capital.

  • 8/9/2019 Full Summer Project

    29/60

    CASH WORKING CAPITAL:

    Cash working capital is one which is calculated from the items

    appearing in he profit and loss account. It shows the real flow of money is

    value at particular time and is considered to be the most realistic

    approach in working capital management. It is the basis of the operation

    cycle, which has assumed a great importance in financial management in

    recent years. The reasons is that the cash working capital indicates the

    adequacy of the cash flow, which is an essential pre requisite of a

    business.

    NEGATIVE WORKING CAPITAL:-

    Negative working capital emerges when current liabilities exceed

    current assets. Such a situation is not absolutely theoretical and occur

    when a firm is nearing a crises of some magnitude.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    The term research is derived from French word research meaning,

    search back, research is a careful inquiry or examination in seeking fact

    or principle intelligent investigation in order to ascertain something web

    masters international dictionary.

    Research methodology is way to systematically solve the problem

    when we talk of research methodology we not mean the research

    methods. Also, consider the logic behind the methods used in the context

    of research study and explain why a particular method or technique is

    used, so that research results are capable of being evaluated.

    RESEARCH DESIGN:

    Research design is purely and simply framework or plan for study

    that guides the collection and analysis of the data.

    RESEARCH TYPE:

    The type of research used in this study is desk research.

    DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH:

    Desk research (sometimes known as secondary data or secondary

    research ) involves gathering data that already exists either from internalsome of the client, publications of governmental institutions, free access

    data on the internet, in professional newspapers and magazines, in annual

    reports of companies and commercial databases to name but a few. In

    many projects, carrying out an initial desk research stage is strongly

    recommended to background knowledge to a subject as well as providing

    useful leads that will help to get the maximum from a research budget.

    DATA COLLECTION METHODS:

    SECONDARY DATA:

    The rest of the data is collected from the annual report brochures

    and websites of the organization.

    ANALYSIS TOOLS:

    Ratio analysis,

    Schedule of changes in working capital.

    LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:

    The main limitation of the study isbase on figures available from

    balance sheet and profit/loss account. So the actual position may

    be slightly different from the conclusions made with the use of

    these figure.

    Data taken for comparison is only for three years. Therefore,

    detailed study could not be undertaken.

    The executive being busy with their yearly audit works. Therefore,

    they could not able to devote sufficient time..

    Time is the major constraint for this study. The study cannot be

    finished with in the stipulated period allowed.

    As the analysis is done using secondary data like publishing

    reports, annual reports and statement of the study is limited only to

    the extents.

    INVENTORY TURNOVER PERIOD

    This ratio should be compared against industry averages. A low

    turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio

    implies either strong sales or ineffective buying.

    High inventory levels are unhealthy because they represent an

    investment with a rate of return of zero. It also opens the company up to

    trouble should prices begin to fall

    period is reducing. The company as to maintain some ratio and collection

    period in the year in future year. It observed that finished goods working

    capital utilization is decreasing year after year. It increasing market share

    and profitability of the company in the future year.

    The company meet major fluctuation is the working capital that

    will affects the current assets and current liabilities and sources of fund

    will affects a lot. Therefore the firm has to find way to increase the source

    of fund. The creditors of the company is fluctuating year by year the

    company has to concentrate on creditors.
