1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION


It would be worthwhile to recall what Henry ford once remarked Money is an arm or a leg; you either can use it or lose it. This statement throws light on the significance of money or finance. A budding concern may need a small amount of money and yet it may be difficult for it to commence business simply because it is not in the position to get required funds. A firms success and survival mainly depends upon its ability to generate sufficient funds when need arises. Finance holds the key to all the activities. The role of financial manager, that is, the one who is incharge of the finance function, is difficult because he has to play that role and relate it to the role of other managers. Financial management is mainly concerned with maximizing the companys net worth. Financial management helps in monitoring the effective development of funds in fixed assets and in the day-to-day cash management. The project studying Working Capital Management procedures of Modern Collection Pvt Ltd is of major importance to the external and internal analysis due to its close relationship with the day-to-day operations of the business.

1.2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND


INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL Empirical observations show that the financial managers have to spend much of their time to the daily internal operations relating to current assets and current liabilities of the firms. As the largest portion of the managers time is devoted to working problems, it is necessary to manage working in the best possible way to get maximum benefit. The effective management of the business, among other things primarily depends upon the manner in which the short-term assets and short run sources of financing are managed. The management or current assets management consists of inventories, accounts receivable and cash & bank balances as the major components. There is a difference between current assets and fixed assets in terms of their liquidity. A firm requires many years to recover the initial investments in fixed assets such as plant and machinery and land and buildings. On the contrary, investments in current assets are turned over many times a year. Investments in current assets such as inventories and book debts are realized during the firms working capital cycle, which is usually less than a year. Working capital is that proportion of a companys total capital, which is employed in short-term operations. Even though, it is one segment of the capital structure of a business, it constitutes an inter-woven part of the total integrated business system. Therefore, neither it can be regarded as an independent entity, nor, can the working capital decisions be taken in isolation. Thus, a study in this field is of major importance to both internal and external analysis, for its close relationship with the day-to-day operations of a business. There are many aspects of working capital management, which form an important function of a financial manager: Working management represents a large portion of the firms investment in assets. Working management has greater significance not only for small firms but also for large firms. The need for working capital is directly related to sales growth.

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd Most of the work dealing with working capital management in confined to the balance sheet, which is directed towards optimizing the levels of cash and marketable securities, receivable and inventories. For the most part, optimization of these current assets is isolated from the optimization of the other current assets and the overall valuation of the firm. The decision concerning cash and resources, receivable, investments and current liabilities is with an objective of maximizing the overall value of the firm. Once decisions are reached these areas, the levels of working capital are also reduced. An appropriate level of working capital is to be maintained as the excessive working capital interrupts the smooth flow of the business activity and curbs profitability. Also, there are a lot of circumstances where shortage of working capital has proved to be the major factor for business failure. Operating plans are out of control and the corporate objectives get blurred. The suppliers and the creditors give the firm an adverse credit rating and tighten up credit terms. The problem of managing working capital has got a separate entity as against different decision-making issues concerning current assets individually. Working capital has to be regarded as one of the conditioning factors in the long run operations of a firm, which is often inclined to treat it as an issue of short-run analysis and decision-making. The management of working capital hence involves constant vigilance to ensure that the right quantum is available on a continuing basis to support and promote the activities. Sound financial and statistical techniques, supported by judgment, should be used to predict the quantum of working capital needed at different time periods.

Alliance Business Academy

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd DEFINITIONS OF WORKING CAPITAL Working capital has been in several ways as given below. Operating capital: - As the working capital is the capital required to operate the business and is the capital invested in the current assets, it is called as operating capital. Circulating capital: - Interchangingly used word for working is circulating capital. Gerestenberg gas suggested this item circulating capital as all the assets of business change from one form to another.

CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL Conceptually, working capital is either explained as: - Net Working Capital or Gross Working Capital. These concepts are not exclusive; rather they have equal significance from management viewpoint. Gross working capital refers to the firms investment in current assets. Net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and current liabilities. GROSS WORKING CAPITAL CONCEPT It is called as qualitative aspect of working capital and focuses attention on two aspects of current assets management: 1. Optimum investment in current asset It is conventional rule to maintain the level of current assets twice the level of current liabilities to constitute a margin or buffer for maturing obligation of a business. 2. Financing of current asset Another aspect of gross working capital points to the need of arranging funds to finance current assets. Alliance Business Academy

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd

NET WORKING CAPITAL CONCEPT Net working capital can be positive or negative. A positive net working capital will arise when current assets exceed current liabilities. A negative net working capital mean excess current liabilities over current assets.net working capital being the difference between current assets and current liabilities, is qualitative concept and hence it: 1. Indicates the liquidity position of the firm: - A weak liquidity position poses a threat to solvency of the company and makes it unsafe and unsound. 2. Suggests the extent to which working capital needs may be financed by permanent sources of funds:- i.e., it covers the question of judicious mix of long term and short term funds for financing current assets. Thus, it may be emphasized that both gross and net concepts of working capital are equally important for the efficient management of working capital.

NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL FINANCE The need for working capital finance is over-emphasized. Every business needs some amount of working capital. The need for working capital arises due to the time gap between production and realization of cash from sales. There is an operating cycle involved in the sales and realization of cash. There are time gaps between purchase of raw materials & production, production & sales and realization of cash. Thus, working capital is needed for the following purposes. For the purpose of raw materials, components and spares. To pay wages and salaries. To incur day-to-day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel, power and office expenses, etc. To meet the selling costs as packing, advertising etc. To provide credit facilities to the customers. To maintain the inventories of raw materials, work in progress, stores And spares and finished stock.

OPERATING CYCLE Operating cycle indicates the length of time between firms paying for materials entering into stock and receiving the cash from sale of finished goods. In other words, the duration of the required time to complete the sequence of events is called operating cycle. The operating cycle may take the following sequence: 1. In a manufacturing concern Conversion of cash into raw materials. Conversion of raw materials into work in progress. Conversion of work in progress into finished goods. Conversion of finished goods into debtors.

The following figure shows the operating cycle of a manufacturing concern. Cash Raw materials

Inventories TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL The working capital is classified in to two types. They are I. Permanent working capital II. Temporary working capital Permanent working capital: Permanent or fixed working capital is the minimum amount, which is required to ensure effective utilization of fixed facilities and for maintaining the circulation of current assets. This investment if of a permanent type and as the size of the firm expands the requirement of working capital also increases. Temporary working capital: Temporary working capital is also called as the fluctuating or variable working capital, which varies according to the problem and sales. It is the capital required in addition to the working capital. Net working capital: It is the difference between current assets and liabilities. It is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. This concept enables a firm to determine the exact amount available at its disposal for operational requirements. Gross working capital: It refers to the total current assets of the business. It is also known as circulating capital, because the current assets are rotating in their nature.

Alliance Business Academy

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd Negative working capital: When a current liability exceeds current assets, it is called as negative working capital. NEED FOR MAINTENANCE OF ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL An adequate or optimum working capital balance refers to the desired working capital where a firm will not have excess or shortage of working capital and indicates both profitability and liquidity for the firm. It is necessary to maintain an optimum cash balance, an optimum level of inventory and an optimum level of debtors and receivable. DANGERS OF EXCESS WORKING CAPITAL It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventory in the form of raw material or work in progress or finished goods, leading to a high cost of storage, space, Insurance, increased theft, deterioration in the quality of goods, etc. Also, it is an indication of defective credit policy and slack collection period. Excess cash in hand indicates idle cash and even though the liquidity position of the company is good, it lacks profitability. Excessive working capital makes the management complacent, which degenerates into managerial inefficiency. DANGERS OF INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL The production process will be obstructed if there is shortage of working capital. Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized if there is lot of working capital funds, which leads to deterioration in profits. The firm loses its reputation when it is not in a position to honor its short-term obligations. Ultimately it leads to the reduction in sale, as the firm cannot meet the demand of the customers.

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd EFFECT 1) 2) 3) 4) OF INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL ON DECISION

MAKING:Stagnates the growth of the firm, Threatens the solvency of the firm, Creates difficulties in implementing the operating plans, Renders the firm unable to avail the attractive credit opportunities

EFFECTS OF EXCESS WORKING CAPITAL ON DECISION MAKING Impairs firms profitability through idle cash and Makes dividend policy liberal, Creates difficulties to cope with the future, on the failure of the estimated speculative profits. IMPORTANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL Even though the skills for maintaining the working capital are somewhat unique, the goals are the same-viz. to make an efficient use of funds for minimizing the risk of loss to attain profit objectives. Firstly, the adequate of working capital contributes a lot in raising the credit-standing of a corporation in terms of favorable rates of interest on bank loan, better terms on goods purchased, reduced cost of production on account of the receipt of cash discounts, etc. Secondly, a company with sufficient working capital is always in a position to take the advantage of any favorable opportunity either to purchase raw materials or to execute a special order or to wait for better market position. In the third place, the ability to meet all reasonable demands for cash without inordinate delay is a great psychological factor to improve the all rounds efficiency of the business.

Alliance Business Academy

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd Lastly, during slump the demand for working capital, instead of coming down, shoots up. A good amount of working capital is locked up in the inventories and book debts. Concerns having ample resources can tide over that period of depression. Thus, working capital is regarded as one of the conditioning factors in the long run operations of the firm, which is often inclined to treat it as an issue of short run analysis and decision making. FACTORS INFLUENCING WORKING CAPITAL Nature of business The working capital requirement of a firm basically depends upon the nature of its business public utility undertakings like electricity, water supply and railways need very little working capital because they offer cash sales only and supply services, not products and such no funds are tied up in inventories and receivables. The manufacturing undertakings also require sizable working capital along with fixed investments because they have also to build up inventories. Size of business The working capital requirements of a concern are directly influenced by the size of its business, which may be measured in terms of scale of operations. Greater the size of business unit, generally, larger will be the requirements of working capital. However in some cases, even a smaller concern may need more working due to high overhead charges, inefficient use of available resources and other economic disadvantages of small size. Production capacity In certain industries the demand is subject to wide fluctuations due to seasonal variations. The requirements of working capital in such cases depend on the production policy. Manufacturing process In manufacturing business the requirements of working capital increase in direct proportion to length of manufacturing process. Longer the process period of manufacture, larger is the amount of working capital required. Alliance Business Academy 10

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd Seasonal variations In certain industries, raw material is not available through out the year. They have to buy raw materials in bulk during the season to ensure an uninterrupted flow and process them during the entire year. A huge amount is, thus, blocked in the form of material inventories during such season, which gives rise to more working capital requirements. Working capital cycle In a manufacture concern, the working capital starts with the purchase of raw materials and ends with the realization of cash from the sale of finished products. The speed with which the working capital completes one cycle determines the requirements of working capital. Longer the period of cycle, larger is the requirement of working capital. Rate of stock turn over There is a high degree of inverse correlation ship between the quantum of working capital and the velocity or speed with which the sales are affected. A firm having as high rate of stock turnover will need lower amount of working capital as compared to a firm having a low rate of turnover. Credit policy The credit policy of a concern in its dealings with debtors and creditors influences considerably the requirements of working capital. A concern that purchases its requirements on credit sells its products/services on cash requires lesser amount of working capital. Business cycle Business cycle refers to alternate expansion and contraction in general business actively. In a period of boom i.e., when the business is prosperous, there is a need for larger amount of working capital due to increase in sales, rise in prices, optimistic expansion of business, etc. on the contrary, in the times of depression i.e., when there is a down swing of the cycle, the business contracts, sales decline, difficulties are faced in collections from debtors and firms may have a large amount of working capital lying idle. Rate of growth of business The working capital requirements of a concern increase with the growth and expansion of its business activities. Alliance Business Academy 11

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd Earning capacity and dividend policy Some firms have more earning capacity than others due to quality of their products, monopoly conditions, etc. such firms with high earning capacity may generate high cash profits from operations and contribute to their working capital. The dividend policy of a concern also influences the requirement of its working capital. Price level changes Changes in the price level also affect the working capital requirements. Generally, the rising prices will require the firm to maintain larger amount of working capital, as more funds will be required to maintain the same current assets. The effect of rising prices will be different for different firms. Some firms may be affected much while some may not be affected at all by the rise in prices. Other factors Certain other factors such as operating efficiency, management ability, irregularities of supply, import policy, asset structure, importance of labour, banking facilities, etc., also influence the requirements of working capital. SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITAL The various of working capital for the financing of working capital are as follows: Sources of working capital

Permanent or fixed 1) Shares 2) 3) 4) Public deposits Ploughing back of profits Loans from financial institutions

Temporary or variable 1) Commercial banks 2) Indigenous bank 3) Trade credits 4) Installment credit

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd ANALYSIS OF OPERATING CYCLE CALCULATIONS From the table number 30 the raw material inventory level in the year 2000-2002 to 8907507 when compared to 2000-2001 which stood as 7481660, indicating that the company has good production and does not have any uncertainty in supply of raw materials, but in the year 2003-2004 raw material inventory has increased to 10373012 when compared to year 2002-2003 which fallen down to 5350148 when compared to its previous year which is satisfactory. There has been an increase in the level of work in progress inventory and hence it is a satisfactory level, also Modern Collections has maintained an increasing level of finished goods inventory to meet the demand of the customers. In the case of collection period the book debts have increased by 2.25 times more than in the year 2000-2001, and by 1.42 times in the year 2002-2003.

INFERENCE

According to the above table the operating cycle takes 62 days to convert raw materials into cash. The net operating cycle has increased from 100-160 days in the year 2001-2002 and has decreased to 72 days in the year 2002-2003. The following reasons can be highlighted about these fluctuations.

In the year 2002-2003 raw material holding days have increased by 4 days this is because raw material consumption has increased to 60859265 and at the same time the level of raw material inventory has increased to 10373012.

One reason would be the policy of company, to reduce the inventory holding to bring the cost down, but there is an increase in the work in progress holding days when compared to that of the year 2000-2001, due to fluctuations of demand for the companys product in the market. Alliance Business Academy 38

Modern Collections Pvt. Ltd

Collection period is reduced so as to increase the cash inflows, where as the payment deferral period is increased to 105 days in the year 2003-2004 when compared to 39 days in the year 2000-2001, and 82 days in 2002-2003. This indicates that the company has to take necessary steps to control disbursements for maximum availability of cash.
