KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 8: Larsen & Toubro

operations are supplemented by a comprehensive distribution network and

nationwide ramifications for customer service and delight!

THE BEGINNING:

Henning Holck Larsen and Soren Kristen Toubro, both Danish

nationals, came to India in 1934, as employees of FL Smidth, Denmark, to

provide engineering services to cement plants in India. During their stay

they became fond of India and its culture. They realized the growing

business potential in this country and laid the foundation of their

partnership firm in the year 1938, christened as Larsen & Toubro.

In the early years, they represented Danish manufacturers of diary

equipment for a modest retainer. But with the start of the Second World

War in 1939, imports were restricted, compelling them to start a small

work-shop to undertake jobs and provide service facilities. Germany’s

invasion of Denmark in 1940 stopped supplies of Danish products. This

crisis forced the partners to stand on their own feet and innovate. They

started manufacturing dairy equipment indigenously. These products

proved to be a success, and L&T came to be recognized as a reliable

fabricator with high standards.

Again the sudden interment of German engineers (because of the

war) who were to put up a soda ash plant for the TATA, gave L&T a chance

to enter the field of installation – an area where their capability became

well respected.

The company had its humble beginning in a tiny room in South

Mumbai near to the corporate headquarters. With time the company took

huge achievement strides and the marshy land in South Mumbai was

transformed to a sprawling enterprise spread over 99 acres, employing

more than 24,000 people and catering to the engineering needs of the

world with a diverse product line.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 9: Larsen & Toubro

Today, the enterprise of the company lies in Engineering and

Construction but it is constantly leveraging its knowledge in other areas

like Information Technology.

In India, it has a visible and vibrant presence. Some of India’s most

sophisticated projects and most complex industrial equipment carry the

L&T insignia of excellence. The adventure that began so humbly surpassed

CAPITAL BUDGETING

Capital budgeting is the planning process used to determine

whether a firm's long term investments such as new machinery,

replacement machinery, new plants, new products, and research

development projects are worth pursuing. It is the budget for major capital,

or investment, expenditures.

Capital Budgeting is the process in which a business determines

whether projects such as building a new plant or investing in a long-term

venture are worth pursuing. Oftentimes, a prospective project's lifetime

cash inflows and outflows are assessed in order to determine whether the

returns generated meet a sufficient target benchmark.   

Capital Budgeting of an organisation includes the budgeting of all the

capital expenditures incurred in it. A capital expenditure is an expenditure

that is shown as an asset on the balance sheet. This asset, except in the

case of a non-depreciable asset like land, is depreciated over its life.

Capital expenditures have long term consequences.

Capital Expenditures include purchase of fixed assets.

Fixed Assets have 2 characteristics:

They are acquired for use over relatively long periods for carrying on

the operations of the firm and

They are not ordinarily meant for sale.

These fixed assets that are used at L&T are:

a) Factory Building

b) Non Factory Building

c) Plant and Machinery

d) Computer items

e) Furniture and Fixtures

f) Office Equipment

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 27: Larsen & Toubro

g) Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

h) Photographic Equipment

i) Laboratory equipment

j) Vehicles

GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND

INVESTMENT BUDGET :

A) CLASSIFICATION:

The Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) Budget will be analysed in the

following categories:

Real Estate i.e., Land (Free hold or Lease hold )

Real Estate i.e., Buildings ( Factory or Office / Commercial or

Residential Flats )

Plant and Machinery - General or specific

Information Technology (IT) related items - PC's, Laptops, Servers,

Photo copiers / Printers, Softwares, etc.

Special items - Transit houses and holiday homes, Vehicles,

Equipment for Medical/Welfare centres, Cars under employee car

scheme, Personal computers for employees under the company's

scheme, Aircraft, Others

Other office equipment

Furniture and Fixtures

The proposals should be entered in the appropriate subcategories under

respective categories.

The proposals for Real Estate and Plant & Machinery should contain

detailed item wise justification.

All proposals should be substantiated and collaborated with the complete

plan.

Specific plant and machinery items refer to:

a) New investments,

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 28: Larsen & Toubro

b) Expansion and

c) Items bought for targeted jobs

The specific and general P/M are budgeted under the aforesaid three

sub-categories with a detailed rationale covering all norms, such as Net

Present Value (NPV), Payback period, Project Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

The above norms should be justified with respect to probability of

award of job and its expected use and residual value post completion of

the job.

B) BUDGET PROPOSALS:

A detailed justification for the purchase of the new asset should be

submitted. The increase in revenues, contribution and cost savings

that will be achieved should also be given, wherever applicable.

The proposals should be comprehensive and must include cost of

consequential proposals such as stamp duty, registration charges,

material handling equipment, stores, land / site clearing, etc.

In case of proposal for general P&M costing Rs.150 lakhs or more &

specific P&M budgeted under new investments or expansion,

Payback Period, Net Present Value ( NPV ), and Project Internal Rate

of Return (IRR ) calculations should be furnished. NPV should be

arrived at using Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

Proposals for acquiring Plant & Machinery in anticipation of customer

orders should indicate the customer orders, the probability of getting

these orders and the redeployment plan for these assets after

execution of the orders.

For real estate proposals covering “construction", breakup of cost

into civil, electrical and air conditioning along with area and rate per

sq. meter should be provided. Cost of land, if applicable, should also

be separately disclosed along with likely stamp duty, registration

charges, land development expenses, etc.

Proposals for replacement of asset:

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 29: Larsen & Toubro

Details of existing asset:

a) Type of equipment

b) Year of purchase

c) Original cost, Written Down Value (WDV )

d) Present Capacity Utilization

e) Breakdown hours

f) Annual maintenance cost trend

g) Any major cost to be incurred

h) Estimated net realizable value

Proposed replacement:

a) Improvements expected including additional production

anticipated, cost saving, efficiency improvements, etc.

b) Cost of replacement

C) CARRY OVER PROPOSALS:

There will be no automatic carryover of proposals sanctioned for

the current year.

Carryover of proposals will be allowed only for partly committed

jobs / sanctions and the carry over proposals should be budgeted

based on the latest prices / costs.

In case of items where the cost is likely to exceed the amount

already sanctioned, a detailed justification should be given for

amounts exceeding 5% of the original estimate or Rs. 10 lakhs

(whichever is more).

D) HIRE OR LEASE OF ASSETS:

At times capital assets are taken on a long term hire, which is

similar to leasing of the assets. It is suggested that these

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 30: Larsen & Toubro

proposals should also be submitted to the finance dept. where the

annual outgo of rentals on account of such assets exceeds Rs. 20

lakhs. Such assets should form part of the proposals for the capital

sanction.

E) COSTS:

The amount to be indicated against each proposal should include

all taxes, duties, cost of accessories, spares, installation charges,

etc.

The cost of office space should include cost of modification,

transfer expenses, stamp duty, registration charges, etc.

F) PROPOSAL EVALUATION:

The CAPEX budget would be approved based on the Company's

cash flow position for the budget year.

All capital expenditure proposals are evaluated and sanctioned on

the basis of information given along with the Budget proposals. It

is therefore necessary that complete description and justification

of the proposals are given to facilitate sanction.

Further, it may be noted that a proposal sanctioned towards a

particular asset cannot be utilized for any other asset . In case for

requirement for substitution prior approval of the H.O Finance

dept. will be necessary.

G) MONTHLY REPORTING OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE:

Budgeting units should ensure that they report to the H.O Finance

dept. on a monthly basis, about the item wise commitments and

cash flows for the sanctioned projects through utilization

CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS:

Capital Budgeting is a complex process which may be divided into

the following phases:

Identification of potential investment opportunities:

The capital budgeting process begins with the identification of

potential investment opportunities. Typically, the planning body develops

estimates of future sales which serve as the basis for setting production

targets. This information, in turn, is helpful in identifying required

investments in plant & machinery and equipment.

Assembling of Investment Proposals:

Investment proposals identified by the production department and

other department are routed through several persons. The purpose of

routing a proposal through several persons is primarily to ensure that the

proposal is viewed from different angles. It also helps in creating a climate

for bringing about coordination of interrelated activities. Then the

proposals are usually submitted in a standardised capital investment

proposal form.

Project Classification:

Normally projects are classified into different categories to have a

detailed analysis. Project analysis entails time and effort. The costs

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 32: Larsen & Toubro

incurred in this exercise must be justified by the benefits from it.

a) Mandatory Investments: These are expenditures required to

comply with statutory requirements such as pollution control

equipment, medical dispensary, fire fitting equipment and so on.

These are often non revenue producing investments. In analysing

such investments the focus is mainly on finding the most cost-

effective way of fulfilling a given statutory need.

b) Replacement Projects: The Company routinely invest in

equipments meant to replace obsolete and inefficient

equipments, even though they may be in a serviceable condition.

The objective of such investments is to reduce costs of labour,

raw material, and power. And also to increase yield and improve

quality.

c) Expansion Projects: These investments are meant to increase

capacity and widen the distribution network. Such investments

call for an explicit forecast of growth. Since this can be risky and

complex, expansion projects normally warrant more careful

analysis. Decisions relating to such projects are taken by the top

management.

d) Diversification Projects: These investments are aimed at

producing new products or services. Often diversification projects

entail substantial risks, involve large outlays and require

considerable managerial effort and attention. Given their

strategic importance, such projects call for a very thorough

evaluation, both quantitative and qualitative. Further they require

a significant involvement of the board of directors.

e) Research and Development Projects: R&D projects are

characterised by numerous uncertainties and typically involve

sequential decision making. Such projects are decided on the

basis of managerial judgement.

f) Miscellaneous Projects: This is a catch-all category that

includes items like interior decoration, recreational facilities,

landscaped gardens, and so on. There is no standard approach

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 33: Larsen & Toubro

for evaluating these projects and decisions regarding them are

based on personal preferences of top management.

Investment Criteria:

Investments in most of the projects should fulfil some criteria's so

that the project is accepted or else the project will be rejected. The

investment criteria that are followed at L&T, Kansbahal works are Net

Present Value (NPV) and Payback Period.

ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS FOR THE

INSTALLATION OF VERTICAL LATHE M/C IN MACHINE SHOP AT

L&T, KANSBAHAL WORKS

Machine shop is a vital link that concretizes and fructifies the parts

which are to be assembled in the assembly shop.

The machine shop can be divided into :

1) Lathe shop

a) Centre lathe

b) Vertical lathe

c) Facing lathe

2) Boring group

a) Table borer

b) Floor borer

c) CNC borer

3) Central group

a) Marking

b) Miscellaneous machines

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 34: Larsen & Toubro

The operations that can be performed in Lathe shop are:

OD and ID Turning

Taper Turning

External threading

Internal Threading

Parting

Grooving

Chamfering, etc.

There were 4 vertical lathe machines available in the machine shop:

a) M/C No. - 021

b) M/C No. - 037

c) M/C No. - 032

d) M/C No. - 033

M/C No. - 033 was windmill component machinery.

Chuck dial - 4770 mm.

Height - 4 m.

Weight carrying capacity - 80 tons

But due to a major order from Bokaro Steel Plant, the Chuck Dial required

for the specified job was 5300 mm.

Hence the new Vertical Lathe was proposed to be bought, so as for the

completion of the order and to work out more no. of such orders. The

estimated total expenditure of the Vertical Lathe M/C was calculated to be

600 lakhs. Availing of the new machinery will result in:

1. Improving productivity

2. Increasing existing capacity

3. Creating new capacity and

4. Getting more no. of specific sales order

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 35: Larsen & Toubro

This particular investment was categorised as an Expansion project

and the Net present value (NPV) and Payback period were calculated to

check the feasibility of the project.

a) Net Present Value (NPV):

The Net present value of a project is the sum of the present values of

all the cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of the project.

Net present value of an investment/project is the difference between

present value of cash inflows and cash outflows. The present values of

cash flows are obtained at a discount rate equivalent to the cost of capital.

The decision rule associated with the net present value criterion is: Accept

the project if NPV is positive and reject the project if NPV is negative. If

NPV is zero, it is a matter of indifference.

The vertical lathe's present value of cash inflows is equal to Rs.

2191.19 lakhs which is much greater than Rs. 600 lakhs. Thus it generates

a positive net present value of Rs.1591.18 lakhs. Hence, this project adds

to the wealth of owners; therefore, it should be accepted.

b) Payback Period:

Payback period is the time duration required to recoup the

investment committed to a project. It is the length of time required to

recover the initial cash outlay on the project. According to the payback

criterion, the shorter the payback period, the more desirable is the project.

Firms using this criterion generally specify the maximum acceptable

payback period. If this is 'n' years, projects with a payback period of 'n'

years or less are deemed worthwhile and projects with a payback period

exceeding 'n' years are considered unworthy.

Preparation of Capital Expenditure Budget Proposals:

According to the requirement of materials by the different

departments of the unit, the Head of the Dept. writes a letter to the

Accounts Dept. mentioning the description, quantity and justification for

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 36: Larsen & Toubro

the purchase of those. Then the A/c's dept. prepares a budget proposal in

Submission of Budget:

Then the Budget proposals that are prepared in the unit are

submitted to the Head Office, Mumbai on the CAPEX System operating

on the intranet (http://172.25.11.2/capex/Login.aspx). This system will be

the platform for the submission of the CAPEX requests, release of

sanctions, monitoring of actual commitment and cash outflow. All the

requests are submitted through this proposal only. After the acceptance

from the head office the H.O. sends a letter of Capital sanction.

Capital Sanction:

The Head office then analyzes the proposal sent by its units and

sanctions capital accordingly. This is then sent to the individual units A/c's

dept... The A/c's department of the units then informs the individual units

whether their budgets are sanctioned or not.

tax is given by the buyer to the seller of the goods and it is mentioned in

the invoice. After the buyer collects the tax he deposits it to the Govt. But

in case of interstate transactions (i.e., one state to another), the tax is

given by the buyer to the Govt. directly and it is not mentioned in the

invoice.

d) Central Sales Tax ( CST ):

Service tax is a form of indirect tax imposed on specified services

called "taxable services". Service tax cannot be levied on any service

which is not included in the list of taxable services. Service tax is levied on

the value of such taxable service that shall be equivalent to the gross

amount charged by the service provider to provide similar service to any

other person in the ordinary course of trade and the gross amount charged

is the sole consideration. Over the last few years, service tax has been

expanded to cover new services. The intention of the government is to

gradually increase the list of taxable services until most services fall within

the scope of service tax. Till now 100 services have been made taxable.

The common services that are included are:

Advertisement services

MANAGEMENT

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION

Proper management of working capital is very important for the

success of an enterprise. It aims at protecting the purchasing power of

assets and maximizing the return on investment. Constant management is

required to maintain appropriate levels in the various working capital

components. Sales expansion, dividend declaration, plant expansion, new

product line, increased salaries and wages, rising price levels etc. put

added strain on working capital maintenance.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 56: Larsen & Toubro

Business concerns need funds for carrying on the business. These

funds are acquired either from equity or on borrowed basis. Concern

utilizes a part of the funds for acquiring fixed assets and other for long

term purposes. Apart from financing for investing in fixed asset, every

business concern also require funds on a continual basis for carrying on its

day-to-day operations. These include amount incurred for purchase of raw

materials, for processing them, constructions work, etc.. Working capital

refers to the sources of financing required to by business on continual

basis for meeting these needs.

MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL:

Working capital typically means the firm’s holding of current or

short-term assets such as cash, cash receivables, inventory, and

marketable securities. Working capital focuses on the efficient

management of the individual current assets in the day-to-day operation of

the business. Working capital is that part of firm’s current assets which are

financed by long term funds when we take working capital as excess of

current assets over current liabilities. The net working capital provides an

accurate assessment of the liquidity position of the firm. With the liquidity

and profitability dilemma solidly authenticated in the financial scheme of

management, concerned efforts are made to ensure the ability of the firm

to meet the obligations, which mature within twelve month period.

Management must always ensure the solvency and viability of the firm.

The definition of working capital is fairly simple; it is the difference

between an organization's current assets and its current liabilities. Of more

importance, is it's function which is primarily to support the day-to-day

financial operations of an organization, including the purchase of stock, the

payment of salaries, wages and other business expenses, and the

financing of credit sales.

Working capital comprises a number of different items and its

management is difficult since these are often linked. Hence altering one

item may impact adversely upon other areas of the business. For example,

a reduction in the level of stock will see a fall in storage costs and reduce

the danger of goods becoming obsolete. It will also reduce the level of

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 57: Larsen & Toubro

resources that an organization has tied up in stock. However, such an

action may damage an organization's relationship with its customers as

they are forced to wait for new stock to be delivered, or worse still may

result in lost sales as customers go elsewhere.

NEED OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:

The working capital management refers to “Management of working

capital ", or, to be more precise “The management of current assets". A

firm’s working capital consists of its investment in current assets which

include short term assets such as cash and bank balance, inventories,

receivable and marketable securities, etc. So the working capital refers to

the management of the level of all these individual current assets. The

need for working capital management arises from two considerations:

i. Firstly, existence of working capital is imperative in any firm. The

fixed assets, which usually require a large chunk of total funds, can

be used as an optimal level of only if supported by sufficient working

capital, and

ii. Secondly, the working involves investment of funds of the firm. If the

working capital level is not properly maintained and managed, then

it may result in unnecessary blocking of scarce resources of the firm.

The insufficient working capital, on the other hand, put different

hindrances in smooth working of the firm. Therefore, the working

capital management needs attention of all financial managers”.

Proper management of Working Capital is very important for the

success of an enterprise. It aims at protecting the purchasing power of

assets and maximizing the return on investment. Constant management is

required to maintain appropriate levels in the various working capital

components.

It has been found that the major portion of a financial manager’s

time is utilized in the management of working capital. Current assets are a

large portion of the total investment of a firm. In some of the industries,

current assets account for a very large portion of the total investment of a

firm. In some of the industrial current assets on an average represent over

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 58: Larsen & Toubro

three-fifth of the total assets. In the case of trading concerns they account

for about 80 percent.

CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL:

There are two concepts regarding the meaning of Working Capital:

Gross Working Capital

Net Working Capital.

i. Gross Working Capital includes investment of a firm only in

current assets. Current assets are those which can be converted into

cash within an accounting year. They are cash, Sundry debtors,

Inventories and Short term securities, etc.. Current assets are of

circulating nature so it should be considered as working capital.

There would be an automatic increase in the Working Capital with

every increase in the funds of the company.

From the above table it is clear that the Gross Working Capital is

increasing in a very smooth way. It means the company’s liquidity position

is well.

ii. Net Working Capital refers to the excess of current assets over

current liabilities. Current liabilities are claims of outsiders expected

to mature within an accounting year. It includes Bills payable, Sundry

Creditors, Bank overdraft, Outstanding Expenses.etc. This concept of

Working Capital enables the shareholders to judge the financial

soundness of the concern and the extent of protection affordable to

them. It is particularly because with an increase in short term-

borrowings the, Working Capital does not increase. It is increase only

by following the policy by ploughing back of profits or conversion of

fixed assets into liquid assets or by procuring fresh capital from

Shareholders.

From the above table it can be seen that the amount of net working

capital for the company for the previous five years is fluctuating. The net

working capital is high in the year 2008-09. The net working capital is

always positive in nature i.e. current assets are always more than current

liabilities. The greater the amount of net working capital, the greater the

liquidity of the company.

MANAGING OF WORKING CAPITAL

Working Capital Management is the process of planning and

controlling the level of mix of current assets of the firm as well as financing

these assets. Specifically, Working Capital management requires financial

managers to decide what quantities of cash, other liquid assets, Accounts

receivables & inventories; the firm will hold at any point of time.

Management must always ensure the solvency and viability of the firm.

Management will use a combination of policies and techniques for

the management of working capital. These policies aim at managing the

current assets (generally cash and cash equivalents, inventories and

debtors) and the short term financing, such that cash flows and returns are

acceptable.

Cash and liquidity management: Identify the cash balance which

allows for the business to meet day to day expenses, but reduces cash

holding costs.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 62: Larsen & Toubro

Inventory management: Identify the level of inventory which

allows for uninterrupted production but reduces the investment in raw

materials and minimizes reordering costs and hence increases cash flow.

Credit management: 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).

The objective of working capital management is to maintain the

optimum balance of each of the working capital components. This includes

making sure that funds are held as cash in bank deposits for as long as

and in the largest amounts possible, thereby maximizing the interest

earned. However, such cash may more appropriately be "invested" in

other assets or in reducing other liabilities.

Working capital management is not an end in itself. It is an integral

part of the department's overall management. The needs of efficient

working capital management must be considered in relation to other

aspects of the department's financial and non-financial performance.

Elements of Working Capital are:

1. Cash

2. Marketable Investments

3. Receivables

4. Inventories

5. Creditors

Factors influencing the Working Capital requirement of L&T,

Kansbahal Works:

1. Scale of Operation.

2. Technology.

3. Volume of Order in hand

4. Market condition

5. Working Capital Cycle.

6. Credit policies.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT :

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 63: Larsen & Toubro

From a company's point of view, excess working capital means

operating inefficiencies. Money that is tied up in inventory or money that

customers still owe to the company cannot be used to pay off any of the

company's obligations. So, if a company is not operating in the most

efficient manner (slow collection), it will show up as an increase in the

working capital. This can be seen by comparing the working capital from

one period to another; slow collection may signal an underlying problem in

the company's operations.

A large investment in current assets under certainty would mean a

low rate of return on investment for the firm, as excess investment in

current assets will not earn enough return. The two important aim of the

working capital management are: Profitability and Solvency. Solvency

refers to the firm’s continuous ability to meet maturing obligations. To

ensure solvency, the firm should be very liquid, which means larger

current assets holdings.

Interpreting the level of the Current Assets to Fixed Assets

Ratio:

The level of the Current Assets can be measured by relating Current

Assets to Fixed Assets. Dividing Current Assets by Net Fixed Assets gives

CA/FA ratio. Assuming a constant level of fixed assets, a higher CA/FA ratio

indicates a conservative Current Assets policy and a lower CA/FA ratio

means an aggressive Current Assets policy assuming other factor to be

constant. A "conservative policy implies greater liquidity and lower risk”;

while "an aggressive policy indicates higher risk and poor liquidity".

Moderate current assets policy fall in the middle of conservative and

aggressive policies.

OPERATING

CYCLE

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 65: Larsen & Toubro

OPERATING CYCLEThe Working Capital Cycle or Operating Cycle is the length of time

between a company paying for materials entering into stock and receiving

the inflow of cash from sales. Investment in working capital is influenced

by 4 key events in the production and sales cycle of the firm:

i) Purchase of raw materials

ii) Payment for raw materials

iii) Sale of finished goods

iv) Collection of cash from sales

RMCP WIPCP

RCP FGCP

The firm begins with the purchase of raw materials which are paid

for after a delay which represents the accounts payable period. The firm

converts the raw materials into finished goods and then sells the same.

The time lag between the purchase of raw materials and the sale of

finished goods is the inventory period. Customers pay their bills sometime

after the sales. The period that elapses between the date of sales and the

date of collection of receivables is the accounts payable period (debt

period).

Page 66: Larsen & Toubro

The time that elapses between the purchase of raw materials and

the collection of cash for sales is referred to as the operating cycle,

whereas the time length between the payment for raw material purchases

and the collection of cash for sales is referred to as the cash cycle. The

operating cycle is the sum of the inventory period and the accounts

receivable period, whereas the cash cycle is equal to the operating cycle

less the accounts payable period.

Longer the working capital cycle period, larger the requirement of

working capital. The determination of operating cycle is helpful for control

purposes with a view to improve previous working capital ratios.

Determination of the length of Operating & Cash Cycle:

The length of Operating cycle of a manufacturing firm is the sum of:

Operating Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period + Receivables conversion Period

= RMCP + WIPCP + FGCP + RCP

I) Inventory Conversion Period:

It is the total time needed for producing and selling the product.

Typically, it includes:

a) Raw material Conversion Period( RMCP ):

It is the average time period taken to convert material into work in

process. RMCP depends on:

Raw material consumption per day and

Raw material inventory.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Operating cycle

Cash cycle

Page 67: Larsen & Toubro

Raw material consumption per day is given by the total raw material

consumption divided by the number of days in a year ( 365 days).

Hence, RMCP = Raw Material Conversion Period.

= Average Stock of Raw Material Material Consumption Per day

b) Work-in-Process Conversion Period( WIPCP ):

It is the average time taken to complete the semi-finished or

work in process.

Hence, WIPCP = Work-In-Progress Conversion Period.

= Average Stock of Work – In - Progress Total Cost of Production per Day

c) Finished goods Conversion Period (FGCP):

It is the average time taken to sell the finished goods.

Hence, FGCP = Finished Goods Conversion Period.

= Average Stock of Finished Goods Total Cost of Goods Sold Per Day

II) Receivables or Debtors Conversion Period (RCP) :

It is the average time taken to convert debtors into cash. RCP

represents the average collection period. It is the time required to collect

the outstanding amount from the customers.

Hence, RCP = Receivable Conversion Period.

= Average Accounts Receivables Net Credit Sales Per day

CASH CYCLE:

It is the difference between operating cycle and payables deferral

period.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 68: Larsen & Toubro

Cash Cycle = Operating Cycle – PDP

Payables or Creditors Deferral Period (PDP):

It is the average time taken by the firm in paying its suppliers or

creditors.

Hence, PDP = Payable Defferal Period

= Average Accounts Payable Net Credit purchase Per Day

RATIO

ANALYSIS

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 70: Larsen & Toubro

RATIO ANALYSISAccounting ratios is used to describe significant relationships which

exist between figures shown on a balance sheet, in a profit & loss account,

in a budgetary control system or in any other part of the accounting

organisation. Ratios are simply a means of highlighting in arithmetical

terms the relationship between figures drawn from financial statements.

Ratio Analysis is the technique of analysis and interpretation of the

financial statements. Ratio Analysis facilitates the presentation of

information of financial statements in simplified and concise and

summarized form. It is the process of establishing and interpreting various

ratios for making certain decisions.

Nature of Ratio Analysis:

Ratios, by themselves, are not an end but only one of the means of

understanding the financial health of a business entity. Ratio analysis is

not capable of providing precise answers to all the problems faced by any

business unit. Ratio analysis is basically a technique of:

(i) Establishing meaningful relationship between significant variables

of financial statements; and

(ii) Interpreting the relationship to form judgement regarding the

financial affairs of the unit.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 71: Larsen & Toubro

LIQUIDITY RATIOS

Liquidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current

obligations as they fall due. Liquidity is the case with which assets may be

converted into cash without loss. The failure of a company to meets its

obligation due to lack of sufficient liquidity, will result in a poor credit

worthiness, loss of creditor's confidence. Liquidity ratios usually consist of

Current ratio, Quick ratio, Cash ratio etc.

A)Current Ratio:

This ratio expresses the relationship between current assets and

current liabilities. This ratio is an indication of the company’s ability to

meet its short term liabilities. It is the ratio of current assets and current

liabilities. The most ideal current ratio of a company is 2:1. This means

every current liability should be covered by at least twice the amount of

current assets. Here the current liabilities also consider the bank

borrowings i.e., secured loans mentioned in the balance sheet.

L&T has a current ratio of 1.85:1 and 1.95:1 for the financial year

2009-10 and 2008-09 respectively. This is interpreted to be insufficiently

liquid but the previous years have maintained high liquidity. The current

ratio of L&T, Kansbahal reveals that the obligations of the company can be

met on time.

B)Quick ratio or Acid-test ratio or Liquid ratio:

This is the ratio of quick assets or liquid assets to current liabilities.

Quick assets are defined as current assets excluding inventories. An asset

is liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short period without loss

of value. Inventory by nature cannot be converted into ready cash

abruptly. The term liquid assets does not include inventory. Here the

current liabilities also consider the bank borrowings i.e., secured loans

mentioned in the balance sheet. A ratio of 1:1 is considered as ideal.

Quick Ratio = Liquid Asset Current Liabilities

Source-Financial records, L&T, Kansbahal Works

The company has been maintaining a little more than necessary

quick ratio of 1:1. Thus, if the L&T’s inventories do not sell and it has to

pay all current liabilities it can easily meet its obligations because its quick

assets are 1.15 times of current liabilities. High Quick ratio indicates the

liquidity position of the firm. The quick ratio of the company reveals

satisfactory liquidity position since it also has considerably fast moving

debtors.

C) Activity / Efficiency / Turnover Ratios:

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 73: Larsen & Toubro

"Activity" ratios are concerned with measuring the efficiency in

assets management. "Efficiency" implies effective utilization of available

resources. "Turnover" refers to the utilization of a resource or an asset in

the process of business activity. The ratios of this kind, attempt to find out

the efficient utilization of asset by relating the same to sales/cost of goods

sold.

Inventory / Stock Turnover Ratio

Inventory turnover ratio indicates the velocity with which stock of

finished goods is sold i.e., replaced. Generally it is expressed as number of

times the average stock has been turned over or rotated during the year.

Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock

into sales. It would indicate whether inventory has been efficiently used or

not. Inventory turnover ratio indicates the number of times the stock has

been turned over during the period and evaluates the efficiency with which

a firm is able to manage its inventory.

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Inventory

This shows that L&T is turning its inventory into sales 5.5 times in

the year 2009-10 which is more as compared to the previous years which

indicates there is an efficient management of Inventory. In 2005-06 the

ratio is very low i.e. 2.55 times. It indicates there is an inefficient

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 74: Larsen & Toubro

management of Inventory. A low ratio implies over-investment in

inventories, possibility of stock comprising of obsolete items, slow moving

products & poor selling policy; whereas a high ratio implies efficient

inventory control, sound sales policies, trading in quality goods, better

competitive capacity & less money required to finance the inventory.

L&T holds average inventory of 66 days in the year 2009-10 which is

the minimum than in comparison to the previous years which is good for

the company.

Debtors / Receivables Turnover Ratio

Debtor is an important constituent of current assets. Perhaps no

business can afford to make sales only thus extending credit to the

customers is a necessary evil. But care must be taken to collect book

debts quickly and within the period of credit allowed. Therefore the quality

of debtors to a greater extent determines the company’s liquidity and

efficiency. This is one of the ratios used by financial analysis to judge the

efficiency of the company.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 75: Larsen & Toubro

The debtor turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of

firm. It indicates the number of times of the average that debtor’s turnover

each year. Generally higher the value of debtor turnover, the more the

efficiency is the credit management.

Debtor turnover is high in the year 2009-10. i.e. 4.27 times in a year

than in the other years which implies that Efficiency of management of

debtors is good in the year than other. There is consistency maintained by

L&T, Kansbahal and has an average of 3.60 times. The lowest ratio

indicates the poor management of debtors.

Average Collection Period:

The ACP measures the quality of debtors since it indicates the speed

of their collection. The shorter the ACP, the better the quality of debtors,

since a short collection period implies the prompt payments by debtors.

L&T is able to turnover its debtors 4.27 times in a year. In other

words, its debtor remains outstanding for 86 days. But in the previous

years, its debtor remains outstanding for more number of days. This shows

the efficient utilization of debtors.

Creditors / Payable Turnover Ratio

It indicates the speed with which the payments are made to the

trade creditors. It establishes relationship between net credit annual

purchases and average accounts payables. Accounts payables include

trade creditors.

Higher payable turnover ratio indicate less period of credit enjoyed

by the business; it may be due to the fact that either business has better

liquidity position; believes in availing cash discount and consequently

enjoys better credit standing in the market or business credit rating among

suppliers is not good and therefore they do not allow reasonable period of

credit.

Working capital Turnover Ratio

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 77: Larsen & Toubro

The turnover ratio indicates the turnover of working capital or net

current assets of the company. This indicates whether or not working

capital has been effectively used. It expresses the number of times the

unit invested in working capital produces sale. It is calculated by simply

dividing the net sales by net current assets. It helps in measuring the

efficiency of the employment of working capital. Generally speaking

the higher the turnover, the greater the efficiency and larger the

profits. However a very high ratio may signify a potentially dangerous

situation of the shortage of working capital. Working capital turnover ratio

gives us a better and whole picture of efficiency and inefficiency than stock

or inventory turnover ratio.

The highest turnover is achieved in 2009-10. i.e. 4.81 and the lowest

is in 2005-06. i.e. 2.47. A higher ratio indicates efficiency utilization of

working capital in L&T, Kansbahal. The ratio can be used by making of

comparative and trend analysis for different companies in the same

industry and for various periods.

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 78: Larsen & Toubro

The reciprocal of the ratios indicates that for one rupee of sales, the

company needs Rs. 0.21 of net current assets. This gap will be met from

bank borrowings and long term sources of funds.

Assets Turnover Ratios

Assets are used to generate sales. Therefore a firm should

manage its assets efficiently to maximize sales. The relationship

between sales and assets is called assets turnover. Several assets

turnover ratios can be calculated:

a) Net Assets Turnover : The firm can compute net assets turnover

simply by dividing net sales by net assets.

Net assets turnover = Net Sales Net assets

Net assets include net fixed assets and net current assets i.e., current

assets minus current liabilities. Since net assets equal capital employed,

net assets turnover may also be called capital employed turnover.

A firm’s ability to produce a large volume of sales for a given amount

of net assets is the most important aspect of its operating performance.

The net assets turnover in the year 2009-10 is 1.39 times which

implies that L&T is producing Rs. 1.39 of sales for one rupee of capital

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 79: Larsen & Toubro

employed in net assets. Net assets turnover in the year 2006-07 was good

and hence forth it is declining.

b) Total assets turnover:

This ratio shows the firm’s ability in generating sales from all

financing resources committed to total assets. Thus,

Total assets turnover = Net Sales Total assets

Total assets include net fixed assets and current assets.

The total assets turnover of 1.02 times in the year 2009-10 implies

that L&T generates a sale of Rs. 1.02 for one rupee investment in fixed and

current assets together.

c) Fixed and Current Assets Turnover Ratio

This ratio measures sales per rupee of investment in fixed and

current assets. This ratio establishes the relationship between sales and

fixed & current assets. The purpose is to judge whether the firm is

generating adequate sales for the investment in fixed & current assets of

the firm.

The term fixed assets include land and buildings, plant and

machinery, furniture, etc., after the depreciation. Net fixed assets

includes net block of both tangible as well as intangible assets. This

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 80: Larsen & Toubro

ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets

are employed. A high ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in

asset utilization and a low ratio reflects inefficient use of assets.

INVENTORY

MANAGEMENT

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 82: Larsen & Toubro

INVENTORY MANAGEMENTInventories are stock of the product of a company is manufacturing

for sale and components that make up the product. The various forms in

which inventories exist in a manufacturing company are:

a) Raw materials - are materials and components that are inputs in

making the final product.

b) Stock-in-process - refers to goods in the intermediate stages of

production and,

c) Finished goods - consists of the final products that are ready for sale.

Inventories constitute the most significant part of current assets of a

company. On an average, Inventories are approximately 60 percent of the

current assets in public limited companies in India. Inventories represent

the second largest asset category for manufacturing companies, next only

to plant and equipment. There are three general motives for holding

inventories:

Transactions motive,

Precautionary motive &

Speculative motive.

The investment in inventory is very high in most of the undertakings

engaged in manufacturing. The amount of investment is sometimes more

in inventory than in other assets. About 90 percent part of working capital

is invested in inventories. It is necessary for every management to give

proper attention to inventory management. An efficient system of

inventory management will determine:

How much to purchase?

Where to purchase?

Where to store?

Cost associated with Inventory:

There are two types of cost associated with inventory at L&T, Kansbahal.

They are:

i. Ordering cost are cost incurred for acquiring of raw materials. It

includes Requisitioning, Order Placing, Transportation, Receiving,

storing, inspecting and clerical and staff.

ii. Cost incurred for maintaining a given level of inventory is called

Carrying cost. They include warehousing, handling, clerical and

staff, insurance, obsolescence and taxes. Carrying costs generally

are about 25% of the value of inventories held.

iii. Shortage costs arise when inventories are short of requirement for

meeting the needs of production or the demand of customers.

Inventory shortages may result in high costs concomitant with

'crash' procurement, less efficient and uneconomic production

schedules, and customer dissatisfaction and loss of sales.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AT L&T, KANSBAHAL

There are two types of inventory considered in L&T, Kansbahal. They are:

General Inventories

Projected Inventories.

L&T, Kansbahal Works is not a process industry where only general

inventories are required. They purchase the Raw Materials and stored as

per their order. Those raw materials can be used only against certain

order. So they purchase raw materials as per their order and against a

specific job. These Inventories are projected inventories. The maximum

investment by L&T, Kansbahal in inventories are of projected Inventories

type.

Some of the common materials which can be used in other job also

are general Inventories. These Inventories required proper stock and the

KIIT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, BHUBANESWAR

Page 84: Larsen & Toubro

methods to control and manage these inventories. They are: EOQ,

maximum level, minimum level and re-ordering level.

L&T, Kansbahal uses ERP (People Soft), which help them to find out

the EOQ, maximum level, minimum level and re-ordering level. The data

regarding the Stock can be found out with the help of ERP system. This

system makes the control system very easy, because, at any point of time

we can get the inventory status. It helps for planning and controlling of

inventory.

The percentage of inventory over current assets for last five

years:

years. So in L&T inventory plays a vital role in current assets.

Inventory Turnover Ratio

Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock

into sales. It would indicate whether inventory has been efficiently used or

not. Inventory turnover ratio indicates the number of times the stock has

been turned over during the period and evaluates the efficiency with which

a firm is able to manage its inventory.

A low ratio implies over-investment in inventories whereas a high

ratio implies less money required to finance the inventory. From the above

table, it is found that, there is an improvement in ratio which indicates the

improvement in the management of inventory.

The table shows that L&T is turning its inventory into sales 5.5

times in the year 2009-10 which is more as compared to the

previous years which indicates there is an efficient management of

Inventory. In 2005-06 the ratio is very low i.e. 2.55 times. It indicates

there is an inefficient management of Inventory.

A low ratio implies over-investment in inventories, possibility of

stock comprising of obsolete items, slow moving products & poor

selling policy; whereas a high ratio implies efficient inventory control,

sound sales policies, trading in quality goods, better competitive

capacity & less money required to finance the inventory.
