1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Meaning of working Capital:-
Capital is the liable blood of a business. As a man can’t live without
blood such as a business can’t survive without capital required for a
business can be classified into two categories :-
 Fixed capital
 Working capital
Every business needs funds for the purposes of its day-to-day
operations. Investments in fixed assets like plant and machinery, land
etc. is called fixed capital. On the other hand, funds required for
financing short term or current assts such as cash, debtors, marketable
securities & inventories are known as working capital. it is also known
as revolving or circulating capital as the funds thus invested in current
assts keep revolving fast and are being constantly converted into cash &
this cash flows out again in exchange for other current assets. In other
words working capital is the difference between resources in cash or
readily convertible in to cash (current assets) & other organizational
commitments for which cash will soon be required (current liabilities).
Thus: working capital =current assets – current liabilities
Management of working capital refers to the management of current
assets as well as current liabilities. The important of working capital
management stems for two reasons.
 Investment in currents represents a substantial portion of total
investment.
Investment in current assets & level of current liabilities to be geared
quickly to change in sales.
The importance of working to manufacturing concern is such that
the failure or success of a firm is determind by the availability of
adequate working capital. This is reason why the financial manager
spends a great deal of time in managing current assets and current
liabilities. That is why it is said, “working capital is the life blood &
controlling never centre of a business.”
Page-01
1.2 Concept of working capital (Gross, Net)
There are two types of working capital, via,
(A) Gross working capital
(B) Net working capital
The amount invested in current assets is gross working
capital and when the current liabilities are subtracted from current assets,
the resulting amount is called net working capital. Most of the business
requires the net working capital to manage the day-to-day business
operation. Since working capital is temporarily required in the business,
working capital represents the amount needed to complete one operating
cycle. Once one operating cycle is completed, money would be
generated to set off the subsequent fund required to manage the next
working capital requirement. Therefore, working capital cycle length
determines the size of working capital. The following diagram represent
the working capital cycle

Debtors (receivable)

Cash
Finished goods

Raw material
Work-in-progress

The above diagram indicates the following aspects


 Estimated working capital raised from bank in the form of cash.
 Cash is converted in to purchase of raw materials.
 Raw material is converted in to work-in-progress.
 Work-in-progress is converted in to finished goods.
 Finished goods are converted in to account receivables.
 Account receivables are converted in to cash.

4.2. ANALYSIS AND CALCULATION OF
RATIOS
4.2.1. CURRENT RATIO:-
This is the ratio, which represents the relationship
between current assets and current liabilities. This is the
symptom, which indicates whether the business is capable
to justify the claim of sundry creditors in time with ready
payment.

4.2.2. LIQUID RATIO:-
This ratio, which bridge the relationship between liquid
assets current liabilities. There may be the situation where
the stocks may be slow moving or may be out dated due to
introduction of hi-fi technology and the customers may not
be willing to purchase the stocks. This ratio discloses the
efficiencies of the business to pay the creditors without
considering the realised value of stock. Therefore, when the
stocks are not considered as a valued current assets and it is
substracted from the current assets, the residual current
assets will amount to liquid assets.

4.2.3. ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO:-


This is the ratio, which establishes the relationship
between absolute liquid assets and current liabilities. Cash
in hand and cash at bank with marketable securities
constitute the absolute liquid assets. The ratio indicates,
what would be the ability of the business to pay creditors
considering only ready cash available and can be arranged
without any difficulties. Therefore, when stocks and sundry
debtors are ignored to include in the list of current assets,
the residual amount is the absolute liquid asset.

4.2.4. STOCK TURNOVER RATIO :-
Inventory turnover measures the relative size of
inventory and influences the amount of cash available to
pay the liability. A smaller and faster-moving inventory
means that the company has less cash tied up in inventory
means that a recession or some other factor is preventing
sales from keeping pace with purchasing and production.
Ideally, inventory should be maintained at an optimum
level to support production and sales. Inventory turnover
ratio is calculated by using the following formula-
Cost of Goods Sold
Inventory Turnover Ratio=
-----------------------------
Average Inventory

4.2.5. DEBTOR TURNOVER RATIO:-


The ratio establishes the relationship between credit
sales and account receivable from the debtors. This ratio
indicates the ability of a company to collect for credit sales
in a timely way. Therefore, the debtor turnover determines
the liquidity of one item of current assets and find out how
faster the debts are being collected. In other words, this
ratio shows how many times on an average, the receivable
were turned in to cash during the period. A high debtor
turnover ratio shows shorter time span between credit sales
and cash collection.

4.2.6. CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO:-
This ratio is establishes the relationship between credit
purchase and creditors. This ratio being the position of a
business to show how quickly the creditors are paid. A
higher ratio indicates, more cash available with the
business and working capital requirement can be easily
met. Creditors can assess the paying capacity of a business
with reference to this ratio. This ratio can be calculated
with the help of
the following formula-

4.2.7. WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER


RATIO:-
Working capital of a business is the excess of current
assets over current liabilities. Mathematically this is
computed by subtracting current liabilities from the current
assets. The resulting working capital figure is taken as one
of the primary indications of the short-term solvency of the
business. The working capital formula is a follow-
Working Capital = Current Assets—Current
Liabilities
The working capital amount should be compared with
the past amount to reasonable. Caution must be exercised,
because the relative size of the firm may be expanding or
contracting. Further, the absolute amount of working
capital is difficult to use in comparing the companies of
different size or in comparing such amounts with industry
figure.

The working capital turnover ratio is predominately


used to ascertain the relative strength of the company to
meet day-to-day
business expenditure as well as in payment of short-term
obligation. This ratio establishes the relationship between
costs of goods sold and average working capital. The ratio
can be calculated with the following formula—
Cost of goods sold
Working capital Turnover Ratio =
-------------------------------
Average working
capital

CHAPTER-5
COMMENT, SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSION OF
RATIOS 5.1. Current Ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-07
1.27 1.33 1.22
COMMENT:
This indicates that in all the three years much less
than the accepted rule of thump i.e. The rules tells when
against Re.1 of current liabilities, there would be Rs.2
current assets available, it would be considered that the
business will have the sound financial position to meet the
short term obligation . In the year 04-05,there is
development of ratio shifted from 1.27 to 1.33 . However,
in the current year 06-07 again there is determination of
current ratio as the current assets again reduced from last
year 05-06 by Re. 0.11 against every Re.1 of current
liabilities.
SUGGESTION:
If this situation to be continued, the creditors will
loose their reliance on the company for payment of their
dues in time and hence they may stop supplying material to
the company on credit considering their security point. It is
therefore necessary for the company to raise current ratio to
confirm the standard rule is either by increasing current
asset or by reducing current liabilities. This can be achieved
by the company declaring more trade discount to attract
credit as well as cash customers.
5.2. Liquid Ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-07
0.77 1.05 0.85

COMMENT:
The liquid ratio in the year 04-05 is 0.77 and in the
current year 06-07 is 0.85, which are less than accepted rule
thump 1:1. However, in the year 05-06 the ratio is above
the rule of thump. When the stocks are ignored from the
current assets considering the slow realization, the liquidity
position of the company is little improved as compared to
current ratio. In the year 05-06, the position was quite
satisfactory as the ratio was 1.05:1 which is just above the
standard norms 1:1. The situation in other years is not so
worst because the ratios are in and around 1:1.
SUGGESTION:
Liquid ratios are not even satisfactory through not
worst. There would be feelings in the minds of creditors,
bankers and other claimants that the business may not be
able to pay their dues at time of depression. The employees
may feel insecurity as regards their increments and job
continuity. Therefore, the management should think to
make some investment in marketable security to strengthen
the liquid ratio.

5.3. Absolute liquid ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-07


0.08 0.15 0.14
COMMENT:
Absolute liquid ratios of all the three years are less
than the accepted rule of thump 0.5:1. Ratios are much less
than the standard

norms. This ratio shows the cash availability to pay the


creditors and hence this is called cash ratio. For every Re.1
of current liability, there should be at least Re.0.5 cash
available. The actual cash position is 0.08, 0.15 and 0.14
against Re.1 of current liabilities in the year 04-05, 05-06
and 06-07 respectively. Therefore, the situation is not
satisfactory from the point of view of short term creditors.
SUGGESTION:
Looking to the absolute liquid ratio, creditors, bankers
and even employees will feel insecurity to get their dues in
time from the business. Creditors will stop supplying goods
on credit, bankers will refuse to finance and employees will
search for better opportunity to swish over. The continuity
of the business may be at stake. Therefore, the management
of the company should try their best to reach the ratio at
least 0.5:1 to satisfy all the parties having interest in the
company. This can be done by increasing the cash sales as
well as making short-term investment in marketable
securities. Cash sales can be increased either by reducing
the sales price or by increasing cash discount and which
should be accepted would be look out of the management.
5.4. Stock turnover ratio: 04-05 05-06 06-07
4.59 9.14 7.47
COMMENT:
The ratio in the year 2004-05 is satisfactory as it is
around 5 times of average stock. However, in the year
2005-06 and 2006-07 the ratio are not satisfactory. In the
year 05-06, the stock is converted in to sales in 10 times
and it is 8 times in the current year 2006-07.
It is therefore observed that the stocks are slow moving
which will have the reparations to lower down the
availability of cash. Lower the ratio, faster would be the
stock moving.
Suggestion:-
As the ratio shows that the stocks are slow moving, it
will lead to damage the stock as well as the chance is there
that the stocks may be out dated. This will create the great
loss to the company which may destroy the liquidity
position of the company. Therefore, the company manager
should take care to make faster stock turnover to increases
the cash position as well as to reduce the stock
obsolescence. Faster sock turn over may be achieved
through continuous market review, granting the dealer
more discounts and allowing the customers to purchase the
goods at a competitive price with quality guarantee.
5.5 debtor turn over ratio:-
04-05 05-06 06-07
1.02 0.69 1.03

Comment :-
The ratio shows that for every rupee one of trade debtor,
there is Rs. 1.02 credit sales in the year 04-05, 0.69 in the
year 05-06 and 1.03 in the year of 06-07. it implies that in
the year 04-05, only Re.0.02 is collected . in the year 05-06,

Suggestion:-

is not satisfactory as the credit policy of the business is not
up to mark. This may create severe loss to the business due
to badebt. The management of the business should revise
the credit policy to recover the credit amount from the
customers. The policy should include the declaration of
more cash discount to quick up the customer to pay the
amount at the earliest. At the same time the legal action
should be initiated against the customer whose debts have
become more than two years to avoid the time barred.

The ratio shows that the business is prompt in making
payment to creditors. It is a good indication for continuous
supply of material by the creditors in the year 04-05, when
there is credit purchase of Rs. 110.79, the sundry creditors
have the dues only Re. 1 accordingly in years 05-06, the
sundry creditors have the dues of Re. 1 against Rs. 82.31
credit purchase the position has been improved in the
current year 06-07, because the creditors has the dues of
Re. 1 against credit purchase of Rs. 115.68.

Suggestion:

made slow, the business can have the funds available to
utilized in most profitably project or the money gets
blocked for payment to creditors ratio, liquid ratio and
absolute liquid ratio.

Comments
The ratio shows that the position of working capital as not
satisfactory in the business. In the year 04-05, when there is
Rs.11.90 sales, only Re. 1working capital remain available.
In the year 05-06, Re. 1 working capital remains available
in every Rs.11.48 sales while it is at Rs. 14.02 sales in the
current year
06-07.
Suggestion
Since the situation is not satisfactory, it is important for
the management to improve the working capital standard to
ensure the smooth and uninterrupted production process.
To improve the strength of working capital, the
management of the business should increase the level of
current assets or decrease the level of current liabilities.
This can be achieved with increase of sales both cash and
credit with offering of discount to the customer for both
cash and credit. The management should revise the system
of credit sales and credit policy to avoid the chances of
badebt. At the same time, the management should take
steps to make the stock fast moving which
Will directly increase the level of working capital.
