1 From the following information prepare a statement showing

the working capital requirements: Budgeted sales(In Unit) 2,60,000 p.a

Analysis of one rupee of sales:

Raw Material 0.30

Direct Labour 0.40
Overheads 0.20
Total cost 0.90
Profit 0.10
Sales 1.00
It is estimated that:

Raw materials are carried in stock for 3 weeks and finished goods for 2
weeks.
Factory processing will take 3 weeks. (Raw material @ 100% & 50% for
labour & overheads
Suppliers will give 5 weeks credit.
Customers will require 8 weeks credit.
Wages & overhead to be accrued evenly throughout the year.
Answer:
Working Capital 44000/-
Explanation:
A. Raw Material = 0.30X260000X(3/52) = 4500/-
B. Work in Progress = (100% of 0.30)X260000X(3/52) = 4500/-
                                 = (50% of (0.40+0.20)X260000X(3/52) = 4500/-
C. Finished Goods = 0.90X260000X(2/52) = 9000/-
D. Debtor = 1X260000X(8/52) = 40000/-
E. Creditor = 0.30X260000X(5/52) = 7500/-
F. Outstanding Wages = 0.40X260000X(1/52) = 2000/-
Therefore, Net Working Capital (A+B+C+D-E-F) = 44000/-
