the liquidity position of the firm to handle day to day operations. Working
capital specifically inventory management holds the major part in the firm

The working capital management is to ensure that the firm is able to continue its
operations and that it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short-term

FUTURE PLAN
Working capital is the life blood and nerve centre of a business. Just as
circulation of blood is essential in the human body for maintaining life, working
Working capital refers to that part of firm‘s capital which is required for
debtors, and inventories. In other words working capital is the amount of funds

Working capital means the funds (i.e.; capital) available and used for day to
firm existence.
Need of Working Capital:

• to incur day to day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel, power and office
expenses etc.
manufacturing units. The retail trading units have also to invest large funds in
working capital. In some manufacturing units also, the working capital holds a
significant place. On the other hand, public utilities require less working
public utilities. The relation between the volume of business and the
requirement of working capital is more direct and clear. The bigger the size of
the units, the more will be the requirement of working capital.
The time that elapses from the purchase and use of raw materials to the
production of finished goods is called manufacturing cycle. The longer the
period a manufacturing cycle takes, the larger is the amount of working
capital required, because the funds get locked up in production process for
a longer period of time.

Business fluctuations are of two types: seasonal fluctuations which arise out of
seasonal changes in demand for the product and cyclical fluctuations which

The business unit will have to face some other problems in addition to this one. It

The working capital requirements should be met both from short term as well
as long term sources of funds.
1) Financing of working capital through short term sources of funds has the
benefits of lower cost and establishing close relationship with banks.
2) Financing of working capital through long term sources provides the benefits of
reduced risk and increased liquidity.

• Rate of return on investments also fall with the shortage of working capital.
• Inadequate working capital cannot pay its short term liabilities in time
Excessive working capital means the firm has idle funds which earn no profits
for the firm. Inadequate working capital means the firm does not have sufficient
of the need for working capital. The flow begins with conversion of cash into
raw materials which are, in turn transformed into work-in-progress and then to
finished goods. With the sale finished goods turn into accounts receivable,
presuming goods are sold as credit. Collection of receivables brings back the
cycle to cash. The company has been effective in carrying working capital cycle
with low working capital limits. It may also be observed that the PBT in
absolute terms has been increasing as a year to year basis as could be seen from
the above table although profit percentage turnover may be lower but in
can increase their margins by extending credit to good customers and also by
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio Analysis is one of the important techniques that can be used to check
the efficiency with which working capital is being managed by a firm. The
most important ratios for working capital management are as follows. Ratio

LIQUIDITY POSITION OF A COMPANY
One of the most universally known ratios, which reflect the Working Capital
situation, indicates the ability of a company to pay its short-term creditors from
the realisation of its current assets and without having to resort to selling its fixed
assets.
ANALYSIS
The Current Ratio of the Company is 1.40in the year 2010-11 which decreases to
1.29 in the year 2011-12 and again it increases to 1.32 in the year 2012-13.
INTERPRETATION
Conventional thinking holds that this ratio should be at least 2:1. The current
ratio of 1.32 indicates BHEL has current assets 1.32 times more than current
liabilities in the year2013. In total, the Current Ratio of BHEL over the period of
time is less to the ideal ratio of 2:1 indicating that the BHEL is not in a good
liquid Position, making Creditors to have a tight credit policy.

days in the year 2011-12 and again it increases to 202 days in the year 2012-13.
INTERPRETATION
The Debtors collection period shows the number of days the company takes to
receive cash from its debtors. More number of days causes more blockages of
funds, requiring additional working capital. In BHEL debtors are converted into
