Working Capital Management.1
INTRODUCTION :
One of the most important functions in day to day management of the firm is the
management of working capital. Working capital is defined as the capital
required for the day to day working of the firm. It is also referred to short term
assets used in daily operations. These consist primarily of cash marketable
securities, account receivable and inventories. Effective management of working
capital requires effective planning and control.
Working capital management is one of the functional areas of finance that
covers financing the required volume from various sources of a reasonable cost
of capital. It involves in maintaining adequacy of current assets as well as
reducing the level of risk posed by current Liabilities. Once the level of working
capital is fixed, a firm has to find out the sources of finance.
In this project, attempt have been made to highlight the concept of workingcapital, the volume of working capital; various constituent of current assets to
gross working capital i.e. total current assets and financing of gross working
capital.
There may be difference in approach in arrangement of chapterisation. However
the scheme of study is planned as follows:
– Working Capital –
Conceptual Aspect.
– Financing Working Capital.
– Profile of the company
(Reliance Industries Ltd.).
– Methodology.
– Case Study.
– Conclusion.

(a) Value :
F rom the value point of view, Working Capital can be defined as :
1. Broad Concept – Gross Working Capital.
2.
Narrow Concept – Net Working Capital.
Gross Working Capital :
I t is the capital invested in total current asset of the firm.
Thus,
gross working capital = Current Assets.
Net Working Capital :
I t is the excess of Current Assets over Current Liability.Thus,
Net Working capital = Current Assets –
Current Liability.
Notes :
Current Assets:
T hose assets which can be easily converted into cash within a short period, say
an accounting year.
Current liability:
T hose liabilities which are usually paid within a short period, say an accounting
year.
A positive working capital means that the company is able to payoff its short-
term liabilities in time.
(b) Time :
F rom the point of view of time, the term working capital can be divided into two
categories viz., Permanent and Temporary.

Permanent working capital refers to the hard core working capital. It is that
minimum level of investment in the current assets that is required by the
business at all times to carry out minimum level of activities.
Temporary working capital refers to that part of total working capital, which is
required by a business over and above permanent working capital. It is alsocalled variable working capital. Since, the volume of temporary working capital
keeps on fluctuating from time to time according to the business activities it may
be financed from short-term sources.
The following diagrams shows Permanent and Temporary or Fluctuating or
Variable working capital.
Both kinds of working capital i.e. permanent and fluctuating (temporary) are
necessary to facilitate production and sales through the operating cycle.

Need for Working Capital :
Different industries have different optimum working capital profiles, reflectingtheir methods of doing business and what they are selling.
The working capital need can be separated into two parts:
• A fixed part, and
• A fluctuating part
The fixed part is probably defined in amount as the minimum working capitalrequirement for the year.
It is widely advocated that the firm should be funded in the way shown in thediagram below:
The more permanent needs (fixed assets and the fixed element of workingcapital) should be financed from fairly permanent sources (e.g. equity and loanstocks); the fluctuating element should be financed from a short-term source (e.g.a bank overdraft), which can be drawn on and repaid easily and at short notice.

Major Considerations :
The major considerations in working capital management are :-
(i) Profitability
(ii) Liquidity(iii) Structural Health
Profitability :
P rofitability is directly related to working capital. Higher the working capital, higher the
profitability.
Liquidity :
L iquidity is the ratio between current ratio and quick ratio. To maintain profitability the
investment in working capital i.e. current assets has to be reduced.
Structural Health :
T he different components of working capital have to be balanced in a proper way. If not
balanced then in spite of current ratio and quick ratio indicating satisfactory financial position it
may not be as liquid as shown.
Thus, it is important that working capital policies should be such which ensures higher
profitability, proper liquidity and structural health of the organization.

R = Raw material storage period.
W = Work – in– progress holding period.
F = Finished goods storage period.
D = Debtors collection period.
C = Credit period availed.
Volume of Working Capital :
Working capital management is concerned with :-
a) Maintaining adequate working capital.
AND
b) Financing of the working capital.
Some of the factors which is needs to be considered while planning for working capitalrequirement are:-
Cash – Identify the cash balance which allows for the business to meet day to day
expenses, but reduces cash holding costs.
Inventories – Identify the level of inventory which allows for uninterrupted production
but reduces the investment in raw material.
Debtors – Identify the appropriate credit policy, i.e., credit terms which will attract
customers, such that any impact on cash flows and the cash conversion cycle will be offset
by increased revenue and hence Return on Capital (or vice versa).
Short term finance - Inventory is ideally financed by credit granted by the supplier;
dependent on the cash conversion cycle, it may however, necessary to utilize a bank loan
(or overdraft), or to “convert debtors to cash” through “factoring” in order to financeworking capital requirement.
Nature of Business - Different nature of business will require different type of working
capital. Therefore need for working capital is different.
Market and demand conditions - For e.g. if an item demand far exceeds its production,
the working capital requirement would be less as investment in finished goods, inventory
would be very less.
Technology & manufacturing policies- For e.g. in some businesses the demand for goods
is seasonal, in that case a business may follow a policy for steady production through out
over the whole year or instead may choose policy of production only during the demand
season.
Operating efficiency- A company can reduce the working capital requirement byeliminating waste, improving coordination etc.
Price level changes- For e.g. rising prices necessitate the use of more funds for
maintaining an existing level of activity. For the same level of current assets, higher cash
outlays are required. Therefore the effect of rising prices is that a higher amount of
working capital is required.

Working Capital Management.8
Financing Working Capital :
F inancing working capital is a very important process in the working of a company. The
management of the company first have to bifurcates the working capital requirements between
the permanent working capital and temporary working capital.
The permanent working capital is always needed irrespective of sales fluctuations, hence it
should be financed by the long-term sources such as debt and equity. On the contrary the
temporary working capital may be financed by the short-term sources of finance.
Broadly speaking, the working capital finance may be classified between the two categories:
(i) Spontaneous sources.
(ii) Negotiable sources.
Spontaneous Sources:
S pontaneous sources of finance are those which naturally arise in the course of business
operations. Such as Trade credit, credit from employees, etc. Negotiated Sources:
N egotiated sources are those which have to be specifically negotiated with lenders say,
commercial banks, financial institutions, general public, etc.
Sources of Finance :
T here are main sources of financing working capital they are:
1. Spontaneous Sources of Finance.
2. Inter-corporate loans and Deposits.
3. Commercial Papers.
4. Funds Generated from Operations.
5. Public Deposits.
6. Bills Discounting.
7. Bill Rediscounting Scheme.
8. Factoring.
9. Finance from Banks.

1. Spontaneous Sources of Finance :
(a) Trade Credit:
A s outlined trade credit is a spontaneous source of finance which is normally extended to the
purchaser organization by the sellers or services providers. This source of financing working
capital is more important since it contributes to about one-third of the total short-term
requirements. The dependence on this source is higher due to lesser cost of finance as compared
with other sources. Trade credit is guaranteed when a company acquires supplies, merchandise
or materials and does not pay immediately. If a buyer is able to get the credit without completing
much formalities, it is termed as „open account trade credit.‟
(b) Bills Payable:
I n case of “Bills Payable” the purchaser will have to give in written promise to pay the amount of
the bill/invoice either on demand or at a fixed future date to the seller or the bearer of the note.
Due to its simplicity, easy availability and lesser explicit cost, the dependence on this source is
much more in a small or big organizations. Especially, for small enterprises this form of credit is
more helpful to smaller and medium enterprises. The amount of such financing depends on the
volume of purchases and the payment ti Inter-corporate Loans and Deposits :
S ometime, organizations having surplus funds invest for short-term period with other
organizations. The rate of interest will be higher than the bank rate of interest and depending on
the financial soundness of the borrower company. This source of finance reduces dependence on
bank financing.
2. Commercial Papers :
C ommercial paper (CP) is an unsecured promissory note issued by a firm to raise funds for a
short period. This is an instrument that enables highly rated corporate borrowers for short-term
borrowings and provides an additional financial instrument to investors with a freely negotiable
interest rate. The maturity period ranges from minimum 7 days to less than 1 year.
3. Funds Generated from Operations :
F unds generated from operations, during an accounting period, increase working capital by an
equivalent amount. The two main components of funds generated from operations are profit and
depreciation. Working capital will increase by the extent of funds generated from operations.
4. Public Deposits :
D eposit from the public is one of the important source of finance particularly for well established
big companies with huge capital base for short and medium term.

5. Bills Discounting :
B ill discounting is recognized as an important short term financial instrument and it is widely
used method of short term financing. In a process of bill discounting, the supplier of goods draws
a bill of exchange with direction to the buyer to pay a certain amount of money after a certain
period, and gets its acceptance from the buyer or drawee of the bill.
6. Bill Rediscounting Scheme :
T he bill rediscounting scheme was introduced by Reserve Bank of India with effect from 1 st
November, 1970 in order to extend the use of the bill of exchange as an instrument for providing
credit. Under this scheme, all licensed scheduled banks are eligible to offer bills of exchange to
the Reserve Bank for rediscount.
7. Factoring :
F actoring is a method of financing whereby a firm sells its trade debts at a discount to a financial
institution. Thus, factoring is a continuous arrangement between a financial institution, (namely
the factor) and a firm (namely the client) which sells goods and services to trade customers on
credit. As per this arrangement, the factor purchases the client‟s trade debts including accounts
receivables either with or without recourse to the client, and thus, exercises control over the credit
extended to the customers and administers the sales ledger of his client.
8. Finance from Banks :
B anks today constitute the major suppliers of working capital credit to any business activity.
Reserve Bank of India has withdrawn the prescription, in regard to assessment of working
capital needs, based on the concept of Maximum Permissible Bank Finance, in April 1997. Banks
are now free to evolve, with the approval of their boards, methods for assessing the working
capital requirements of borrowers, within the prudential guidelines and exposure norms.

Conclusion :
In earlier discussions, I have tried to assess the working capital of Reliance
Industries Ltd. For the year 2009, 2010, 2011, constituents of working capital
and financing working capital through different sources.
I, have taken only one company i.e. Reliance Industries Ltd. as sample unit and
number of study only three years i.e. 2009, 2010, 2011 because of time
constraints. In carrying on this project, I have taken help of the published annual
report of the company.
My findings do not reflect the general trend of the corporate section in regard to
working capital management.
This is a very small effort in management of working capital. This study will
provide ample scope to draw the trend of working capital of the corporate sector.
