Finance is one of the major elements, which activates the overall growth of
the economy. Finance is the life blood of economic activity. A well-knit financial
system directly contributes to the growth of the economy. An efficient financial
system calls for the effective performance of financial institutions, financial
instruments and financial markets.

1.2 MANAGEMENT
In the present day industrial word, management has become universal. The
principals of management are being applied not only for managing business
concerns, but also to manage various other service sector institutions like
hospitals, educational institutions etc. Hence, management occupies such an
important in the modern place in the modern world that the welfare of the people
and the destiny of the country are very much influenced by it. With the increase in
the complexities of management of business concerns, the importance of
management has increased enormously.
1.3 WORKING CAPITAL
The management of working capital is an integral part of overall
corporate management .A business firm must maintain an adequate level of
working capital in order to run its business smoothly. It is worthy to note that
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 4

both excessive and inadequate working capital positions are harmful. Working
capital is just like the heart of the business. If it becomes weak, the business
can hardly prosper and survive. No business can run successfully without an
adequate amount of working capital. Thus working capital is the amount of
funds which is employed in short term operation, included in these operations
are such items as stock of raw materials and supplies needed for manufacture
stock of finished goods waiting for sale, semi processed items and components
that will soon emerge as final product, sundry debtors representing pending
collection against credit sales and short term investment.
1.4MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is the difference between inflows and outflow of funds
.In other words, it is the net cash inflow .It is defined as the excess of current
assets over current liabilities and provisions Working capital. As an accountant
defines it, is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. This
over-simplified definition simply tells us hoe working capital is calculated.
1.5 DEFINITION OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is commonly defined in accounting and financial analysis
as net current assets consisting of inventories, including goods, net receivables,
marketable securities, Bank balances and cash in hand.
According to SHOBIN Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to
cover to cost to cost of operating the enterprise.

MANAGEMENT

PRINCIPLE OF RISK VARIATION

PRINCIPLE OF COST OF CAPITAL

PRINCIPLE OF EQUITY POSITION

PRINCIPLE OF MATURITY OF PAYMENT
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 7

Risk here refers to the inability of the firm to meet its obligation as
and when they become due for payment . Larger investments in current
assets with less dependence on short term borrowings increase liquidity ,
reduce risk and thereby decrease the opportunity for gain on the other hand
, less investment in current with great dependence on short term borrowings
increase risk reduces liquidity and increases profitability . However the goal
of the management should be to establish a suitable trade of between
profitability and risk .

2. PRINCIPLE OF COST OF CAPITAL
The various sources raising working capital finance has different
source of capital and the degree of risk involved . Generally , higher the risk
lower is the cost , and lower the risk higher is the cost . A sound working
capital management should always be maintained to achieve a proper
balance between these two current assets and current liabilities.

3. PRINCIPLE OF EQUITY POSITION
This principle is concerned with planning the total investment is
current assets . According to this principle , the amount of working capital
invested in each component should be adequately justified by firms equity
position . Every rupee invested should contribute to the net worth of the
firm .

4. PRINCIPLE OF MATURITY OF PAYMENT
This principle is concerned with planning the sources of finance for
working capital . According to this principle , a firm should make every
effect to relate maturities of payment to its flow of internally generated
funds .

2. From the point of view of time
a.) Permanent working capital /Fixed working capital
b.) Temporary working capital/Variable Woking capital

1. ON THE BASIS CONCEPT
a.) NET WORKING CAPITAL
This is the difference between current assets and current liabilities .
Current liabilities are those that are expected to mature within on
accounting year and include creditors , bills payable and outstanding
expenses.
Investments in current assets represents a very significant portion
of the total investment in assets .
The working capital needs increase as the firms grows as sales
grow , the firm needs to invest more in debtors and inventories .

b.)GROSS WORKING CAPITAL
Gross working capital refers to the firms investment in current assets .
Current assets are the assets which can be converted into cash within a
short period say , an accounting year . Current assets include cash , debtors ,
bills receivables , short term securities etc .
It is equal to the total sum of the current assets and may
represent both owned capital and loan capital .

2. ON THE BASIS OF TIME
a.) PERMANENT WORKING CAPITAL
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 10

Permanent working capital is permanently locked up in the
circulations of current assets . It covers the minimum amount requested for
maintaining the circulation of current assets .
1. INITIAL WORKING CAPITAL
At its inception and during the formative period of funds to meet its
obligations . The need for initial working capital is for every company to
consolidate its position .

2. REGULAR WORKING CAPITAL
It refers to the medium amount of liquid capital required to keep up the
circulation of the capital from the cash inventories to accounts receivable
and from accounts receivables to back again cash .

b.)VARIABLE WORKING CAPITAL
It refers to the past of the working capital which changes with the
volume of business , it may be divided into two classes.
1. SEASONAL WORKING CAPITAL
There are many lines of business where the volume of operations
is different and hence the amount of working capital varies with the
seasons . The capital required to meet the seasonal working capital .

2. SPECIAL WORKING CAPITAL
The capital required to meet any special operations such as
experiments with new products or new technique of production and
making interior advertising campaign etc are also known as special
working capital .

1.10 Operating cycle or Working capital cycle:

In modern business, the concept of working capital has changed a
lot. In the present time a new concept know as operating cycle has emerged
and is gaining popularity. There is much difference between current and
fixed assets, as far as recovery of Investment is concerned.
Every business required many years to recover the investment in
fixed assets like plant and machinery, buildings etc. But investment in
current assets is recovered through a firms operating cycle. When stocks of
finished goods are sold and debtors are collected. usually firms operating
cycle is less than a year.
The term operating cycle implies the period of the required to convert
sales into cash. As per operating cycle concept working capital is that part
of capital which circulates in different firms such as cash. As per operating

cycle concept working capital is that part of capital which circulates in
different firms such as cash to raw materials, to work-in-progress, to
finished good, to sales, to debtors, to cash. It is also called circulating
capital. The working capital rotates in such a way that money will be
blocked at different forms till recovery in form of cash. The can called cash
conversion cycle.
The operating cycle of any manufacturing firm has through three
stages.
Assembling of resource like raw materials, labour power and fuel etc.
Manufacturing the goods i.e. conversion of raw materials into work in
progress into finished goods.
Selling the goods i.e. cash sale/ credit sale. Credit sale creates book debts
or bills receivables.
The operating cycle of the manufacturing concern starts with the purchase
of raw materials and services and ends with the realisation of the cash. The
following steps are followed in between these:
Purchase of raw materials and services.
Conversion of raw materials into finished goods inventory.
Conversion of finished goods stocks into sales debtors and receivables.
Realisation of cash.
This cycle continues again from cash to purchase of raw materials and so
on. The length of a manufacturing firm is the total of inventory conversion
period and receivables conversion period. We can estimate the inventory
period the accounts receivables period and accounts payable period from the
financial statements of the firms.

1.11 DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
NATURE OF BUISINESS
PRODUCTION POLICIES
CREDIT POLICY
INVENTORY POLICY
DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL MARKET CONDITIONS
CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY
BUSINESS CYCLE
GROUTH AND EXPANSION
DIVIDEND POLICY
PROFIT LEVEL

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
The nature of the business effects the working capital requirements to a great
extent. For instance public utilities like railways, electric companies ,etc need
very little working capital because they need not hold large inventories and their
operations are mostly on cash basis, but in case of manufacturing firms and
trading firms, the requirements of working capital is sufficiently large as they
have to invest substantially in inventories and accounts receivables.
2. PRODUCTION POLICIES
The production policies also determine the working capital requirement. Through
the production schedule i.e the plan for production, production process etc. The
KS & DL has big production process.
3. CREDIT POLICY
The credit policy to sales and purchase also affects the working capital. The
credit policy influences the requirements of working capital in two ways. The
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 14

credit terms granted to customers have a bearing on the magnitude of working
capital determining the level of book debt. The credit sales results is higher book
debt (re available) Higher book debt means more working capital.
On the other hand, if liberal credit terms are available from the suppliers of
goods [trade or], the need for working capital is less. The working capital
requirement of business is thus affected by the terms of purchase and sales and
role given to credit by a company by in its dealing with Cr and Dr .
4. INVENTORY POLICY
The inventory policy of a ks&dl also has impact on the working capital
requirements. Since a large amount of funds is normally locked up in inventories.
An efficient firm may stock raw material for a smaller period and may, therefore,
require lesser amount of working capital.
5. MARKET CONDITIONS
Working capital requirements are also affected by market conditions like
degree of competition. Large inventory is essential as delivery has to be off the
shells of credit has to be extended on liberal terry when market competition is
fierce or market is not very strong or is a buyers market.
6. CONDITION OF SUPPLY
If prompt and adequate supply of raw materials. Spares, stores, etc. is
available it is possible to manage with small investment in inventory or work on
Just in Time inventories principles. However if supply is erratic, scant, seasonal,
canalized through Govt. agencies etc. it is essential to keep larger stocks
increasing working capital requirements.
7. BUSINESS CYCLE
Business fluctuation leads to cyclical and seasonal changes in production
and affect the working capital requirements.
8. GROWTH AND EXPANSION
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 15

The growth in volume and growth in working capital go hand in hand,
however, the change may not be proportionate and the increased need for working
capital is felt right from the initial stages of growth.
9. DIVIDEND POLICY
Payment of dividend utilizes cash while retaining profits acts as a source as
W.C. Thus working capital gets affected by dividend policies. The Bemul follows
a liberal dividend policy will require more W.C than Co. that follows s strict
dividend policy.
10. PROFIT LEVEL
Profit level also affects the working capital requirements as a concern higher
profit margin results in higher generation of internal sands and more contributing
to working capital.

1.12ESTIMATING OF WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS
For the estimation of working capital the following methods are followed.
Current Asset holding period.
The two components as W.C. are current assets and current liabilities they have a
bearing on the cash operating cycle in order to calculate the working needs what is the
holding period of various types or inventories the credit collection period and the
credit payment period.
Ratio of sales.
To estimate working capital requirement as a ratio of sales on the assumption that
current asset change with sales.
Ratio of fixed investments.
To estimate W.C requirement as percentage of fixed investments.


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 16

1.13 Management of working capital
Guided by the above criteria, 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 management.
WHAT IS CASH?
The term cash with reference to cash management is used in two sense .in a
narrow sense it include ,coins, currency notes, cheque, bank draft held by a firm
with it and the demand deposit held by it in bank . in broader sense it also include
near cash assts such as marketable securities and time deposit with banks .such
deposit can immediately be sold or converted into cash if the circumstances so
require .the term cash management is generally used for management of both cash
and near current assts.
FACTS OF CASH MANAGEMENT
Management of cash is concerned with the managing of
a. cash inflow and outflow of firm
b. cash flows within the firms and
Cash balances needed by the firm at a point of time by the financing of
deficit or of investing surplus cash. but it is difficult to predict cash flows
accurately .hence ,in order to resolve the uncertainty about cash flow
prediction and lack of synchronization between cash receipts and payments
,the firm should develop some strategies regarding the following four factor
of cash management.

1. CASH PLANNING
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 17

It is a technique to plan and control the use of cash it protects the
financial condition of the firm by developing projected cash statement from
forecasting of expected cash in flows and out flows for a given period the
forecasts may be used on the present operation or the anticipated future
operations .cash planning is very crucial in developing the overall operating
plans of the firm.

2. CONTROLLING THE LEVEL OF CASH BALANCES
As one of the basic objectives of cash management is to minimize the
level of cash balance, controlling the level of cash balance does not mean just
minimizing the level of cash balance within the firm .it means neither
ensuring that the level of cash balance is neither excessive nor inadequate
.(i.e. .optimum).

3. OPTIMUM CASH LEVEL
Company must decide about the appropriation level of cash balances to
be maintained. Both the cost of excess cash and danger of cash deficiency have
to be matched to arrive at optimum level of cash balance.

4. INVESTMENT SURPLUS CASH
All surplus cash has been properly invested so as to earn profit .the
company has to decide about the division of such cash balance borrowed from
bank deposit ,marketable securities on inter corporate loan.
An idea cash management system depends on the companys product,
organization structure, culture and option available.
Inventory management.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 18

Identify the level of inventory which allows for uninterrupted production but
reduces the investment in raw material and minimizes recording costs - and hence
increases cash flow. Besides this, the lead times in production should be lowered to
reduce work in progress (WIP) and similarly, the Finished Goods should be kept on as
low level as possible to avoid over production see supply chain management ;Just in
Time (JIT); Economic order quantity (EOQ); Economic quantity.
Debtors management.
Identify the appropriate credit policy, i.e. credit terms which will attract
customers, such that any impact on cash flows and conversion cycle will be offset
by increased revenue and hence return on capital (or vice versa); see Discounts
and allowances.
Short term financing.
Identify the appropriate source of financing, given the cash conversion
cycle : the inventory is ideally financed by the supplier; however, it may be
necessary to utilize a bank loan(or overdraft), or to convert debtors to cash
through factoring .
1.14 TECHNIQUES OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Working capital management involves deciding upon the amount and
compositions of current assets and how to finance the assets. These decisions
involve tradeoff between risk and profitability.
Working capital balances are measured from the financial data of the
companys balance sheet. A study of the causes of changes of working capital that
take place in the balance from time to time is necessary. These changes can be
measured in rupee amounts and also in percentage by comparing current assets,
current liabilities and working capital over the given period.
The important tools of working capital are;
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 19

1. Ratio analysis of working capital
2. Funds flow analysis of working capital
3. Working capital budget
4. Trend analysis.

1. RATIO ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The ratio of working capital can be used by management as a means checking
upon the efficiency with which working capital is being used in the enterprise. The
important ratios of working capital management are.

a. TURNOVER OF WORKING CAPITAL RATIO
It can be calculated as net sales divided by average net working capital.
The turnover of net working capital ratio measures the rate of working capital
utilization. The ratio shows how many times working capital turns over in
trading transactions.
Formula: Net sales
Turnover working capital =
Net working capital

b. CURRENT RATIO
It can be calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities. The
current ratio measures the relative ability of a company to pay its short terms
debts. The ratio is used to reveal how well a company could meet a sudden
demand to pay off its short term creditors.
Formula: Current ratio = Current assets
Current liabilities

c. CURRENT DEBT TO TANGIBLE NET WORTH
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 20

It can be calculated as current liabilities divided by tangible net
worth. The ratio of current liabilities to tangible net worth shows how much
capital used in the enterprises has been provided by the short creditors and how
much by the owners.

Formula: Current liabilities
Current debt to tangible network=
Total net worth

d. QUICK RATIO ( ACID TEST RATIO)
Quick ratio can be calculated as quick assets divided by current liabilities. Quick
ratio establishes relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities and
asset is liquid or quick if it can be converted in to cash immediately or reasonably soon
without a loss of value.

Formula: Quick assets
Quick ratio =
Current liabilities
e. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Turnover ratio can be calculated at cost of goods sold by average
inventory. It shows the number of times the stock in trade is turned over in
business during a period. This ratio may be used to arise stock utilization and
efficiency of the firm in selling its products.


Formula: Cost of goods sold
Inventory turnover ratio=
Average inventory
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 21


f. DEBTOR TURNOVER RATIO
It can be calculated as sales divided by debtors. Debtors turnover indicates the
number of times the debtors are turnover during a year.

Formula: Sales
Debtors turnover =
Debtors

2. FUNDFLOW ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL
How it was possible to distribute divided in excess of current earning and in the
present of a net loss for the period.
How was the expansion in equipment, plant and machinery financed?
What happened to the proceeds of sales and plant equipment?
How was the retirement of department accomplished?
What becomes to the process of share issue or. It is an effective management tool to
study how funds have been procured for a business and how they have been employed.
This technique helps to analyze changes in working capital components between two
data. The comparison of current assets and current liabilities, at the beginning and at the
end of specific period shows changes in such type of current assets and resources from
which working capital has been obtained. Funds flow statement contributes materially to
the financial aspects of the answers to such questions.
Why the net current were down through the net income was upon vice versa.
Debenture issue.
How was the increase in working capital financed?

3. WORKING CAPITAL BUDGET
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 22

The working capital budget is an important phase of overall financing budgeting.
This budget should be distinguished from a cash budget. That is designed to measure all
the financial requirements of a business including funds for fixed assets, repayments of a
business including funds for fixed assets, repayment of loans, and similar items on the
other hand working capital assures that they are duly provided for. The objective is to
secure an effective utilization of investment.

4. TREND ANALYSIS
A trend analysis includes the changes which have been taking place from time to
time an individual item of current assets. Current liabilities and net working capital on the
basis of some standard year and its effect on working capital portion. It enables to
evaluate the upward and downward trend of current assets and current liabilities. These
are usually measured from review of the comparative balance sheets of a concern at the
end of the accounting years and results are drawn on the basis of trend shown by time.

1.15 SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITAL

Among the various available for financing working capital needs, a finance manager has
to select the best suitable source depending on the working capital needs of the
company.
Long term sources are;
1. Issue of shares
2. Issue of debenture
3. Pouching back of profit
4. Sale of fixed assets
5. Long term loans
The short term sources for financing working capital requirement can be classified into
Internal and external sources.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

INTERNAL SOURCES
1. Withdrawing the deprecation funds
2. Using the resources meant for taxation
3. Postponement of payment of accrued expenses


EXTERNAL SOURCES

1.17 DISADVANTAGES OF REDUNDANT OR EXCESSIVE
WORKING CAPITAL
1. Excessive working capital means ideal funds which earn no profit for the
firm and business cannot earn the required rate of return on its investments.
2. Redundant working capital leads to unnecessary purchasing and
accumulation of inventories.
3. Excessive working capital implies excessive debtors and defective credit
policy which causes higher incidence of bad debts.
4. It may reduce the overall efficiency of the business.
5. If a firm is having excessive working capital then the relations with banks
and other financial institution may not be maintained.
6. Due to lower rate of return investments, the values of shares may also fall.
The redundant working capital gives rise to speculative transactions

1.18 COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The composition of working capital varies from one business to another.
The composition of working capital of trading concern is quite different from
that of manufacturing. The term composition implies the various components
of working capital or constituent parts that are included in the working capital
are current assets and current liabilities.
Current asset
These are the assets which can be converted into cash within an
accounting year or within the operating cycle whichever is longer. Some of
these assets like stock of finished goods debtors and bills receivables may not
be converted into cash within the required period. Even then these assets are
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 26

still included in the list of current assets. Basically, the current asset include
inventories trade debtors, advances, investments, prepaid expenses and cash in
hand and cash at bank.
The components of current assets are shown in the following manner-
Inventories raw materials, stores and spares, work-in-progress, finished goods
etc.
Loans and advances- trade debtors, bills receivables, prepayments like prepaid
expenses- advance payment of taxes.
Investment-government securities, semi government securities, industrial
securities, private deposits.
Cash and bank balances- fixed deposits with banks, cash at bank- cash in hand

Current liabilities
These are the liabilities which are payable within an accounting year.
Usually, all those liabilities which are required to be paid within a year are
regarded as current liabilities. These liabilities include trade creditors, bank
overdraft, provisions for taxes, dividends and bonus, outstanding expenses etc.
Some of these liabilities may not strictly be described as current liabilities but
nevertheless these liabilities are included in the category of current liabilities.

The components of the current liabilities are in the following
manner-

Trade dues- Trade creditors, bills payable, outstanding expenses.
Borrowing-loans from banks, public deposits, bank overdraft, cash credit.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 27

Advances received
Provisions-provision for taxation proposed dividend.


The three important methods of maintaining current assets at
optimum levels are:
Current assets and fixed assets ratio
Liquidity Vs Profitability
Cost benefit trade off


Current assets to fixed assets
Optimum level of current assets is required to maximise the share holder's
wealth and firm needs fixed and current assets to support particular level of
current assets by relating it to fixed assets.
Therefore, level of current assets = current assets/ fixed assets

Current Asset Policies:
Mainly there are three policies.

Conservative Policy:
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 28

Assuming fixed assets as constant and higher current assets or fixed
assets ratio indicates conservative policy. It implies that if liquidity is greater,
the risk is lower.

Aggressive Policy:
Lower current assets or fixed assets ratio indicates aggressive policy. It
implies that if liquidity is lower, the risk is higher.

Average Policy:
It is also called as moderate policy. It lies between conservative and
aggressive policy.


1.19 Liquidity Vs Profitability: Risky-Return off
The current assets holdings will depend upon its working capital policy
that it may follow conservative or aggressive policy. These policies involve
risk return tradeoffs. Under certainty condition larger investments in current
assets yield lower rate of return and smaller investment yield higher rate of
return. The working capital management policies f a firm largely affect its
profitability, liquidity, and structural health of organization. The most
important aim of working capital is profitability and solvency.
Solvency refers to ability to maturing obligations. For ensuring solvency
the firm should be very liquid which means it holds large amount of current
assets. Thus liquid firm has less risk of insolvency. Therefore the aim of
working capital policy is to provide enough liquidity to the firm.
To earn higher amount of profitability, the firm has to sacrifice solvency.
Because to maintain liquidity, firm has to in certain cost that, cost tied up in
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 29

current assets and that extent investment will idle and it affect the profitability
position. When firm wants to earn higher profitability it has to sacrifice
solvency and this pose firm the greater risk of cash shortage and stocks outs.
So the goal of working capital management is to maintain a trade off between
profitability and risk.
Cost benefits trade off:
The cost benefit trade off is different way of looking in risk- return off in
terms of cost of maintaining a particular level of current assets. These are two
types of costs involved in the current assets. These are two types of costs
involved in the current assets.
Cost of liquidity
Cost of illiquidity

Cost of liquidity
If the firms level of current assets is very high, it has excessive liquidity.
Its return on assets will be low as funds tied up in idle cash and stocks earn
nothing and high levels of debtors (through low rates of rates) increase with
level of current assets.

Cost of illiquidity
It is the cost of holding insufficient current assets. The firm will not be
in a position to honour its obligations if it carries too little cash. This may
force the firm to borrow funds at high rates of interest and adversely affect
credit worthiness of the firm and also it pose difficulties in obtaining funds in
future. So in determining the optimum level of current assets the firm should
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 30

balance the profitability solvency tangibles by minimizing total costs-costs
of liquidity and costs of illiquidity.
The cost of liquidity increases while the cost of illiquidity decreases and
vice versa. The minimum cost point indicates the optimum level of current
assets. Some of the approaches to study of working capital analysis or analysis
of working capital can be conducted through a number of devices, such as:

RESEARCH DESIGN
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Every business needs adequate liquid resources in order to maintain day-to-day
cash flow. It needs enough cash to pay wages and salaries as they fall due and to pay
creditors if it is to keep its workforce and ensure its supplies.
Maintaining adequate working capital is not just important in the short-term.
Sufficient liquidity must be maintained in order to ensure the survival of the business in
the long-term as well.
Even a profitable business may fail if it does not have adequate cash flow to meet its
liabilities as they fall due. Therefore, when businesses make investment decisions they
must not only consider the financial outlay involved with acquiring the new machine or
the new building, etc, but must also take account of the additional current assets that are
usually involved with any expansion of activity.

The major ingredients like soda ash, linear alkyl benzene and sodium triply
phosphate poses number of serious problems in terms of availability. The demand
and supply gap of vegetables oil is 1.5 to 2lakhs tons and is met through imports.
HISTORY
India is a rich land of forest; ivory, silk, sandal; precious gems are magical charms
of centuries. The most enchanting perfumes of the world got their exotic spell with
a twist of sandal. The worlds richest sandalwood resources are from one isolated
stretch of forests Land in south India that is Karnataka.
The origin of sandalwood and its oil in Karnataka, which is used in making of
Mysore sandal soaps is well known as fragrant Ambassador of India &
sandalwood oil is infact known as Liquid Gold.
By the Inspection of His Highness Maharaja of Mysore late
Jayachamarajendra Wodeyrae, the trading of sandalwood logs started which was
exported to Europe and new destinations, but with commencement of First world
War India faced Severe Crisis on the business sandalwood.

This situation gave rise to start of an industry, which procedures value added
products I.e., of sandalwood oil. His Highness Maharaja of Mysore created this
situation as an opportunity by sowing the present of the Government sandalwood
oil factory, which is the present KS&DL. The project was shaped with the
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 44

engineering skills and expertise of the top level Late Sir M.Visvesvaraya, the great
Engineer who was the man behind the project.
Todays famous sandal soaps credit goes to the Sir Sosale Garalapuri Shastri who
incorporated the process of soap making using Sandalwood oil. He was an
eminent scientist in the field working at the Tata institute, Bangalore. He was sent
to England to master the fine aspects of soap manufacturing.
The maharaja of Mysore & Diwan Sir, M. Visvesvaraya established the
Government Soap factory during the year 1918. The factory was situated as a very
small unit near K.R circle, Bangalore with the capacity of 100 tons P.A. In
November 1918 the Mysore sandal soap was put into the market after sincere
effort and experiments were undertaken to evolve a soap perfume blend using
sandalwood oil as the main base to manufacture toilet soap. The factory shifted its
operation to Rajajjnagar industrial area, Bangalore in July 1957, where the present
plant is located. The plant occupies an area of 39 acres (covering soaps, Detergent
and Fatty and Acid divisions), on the Banglore-pune Highway, easily accessible
by transport services and communication. Another sandal wood oil division was
established during the year 1944 at shivmoga, which stopped its operations in the
year 2000 for want of natural sandalwood.
This factory started at a moderate scale in year 1916. The first product was
washing soap in addition ti the toilet in the year 1918. The toilet soap of the
company was made up of sandalwood oil.

In 1950 Government decided to expand the factory in two stages. The first stage of
expansion was done to increase the output to 700 tons per year and was completed
in the year 1952 in the old premises.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 45

The next stage of expansion was implemented in 1954 to meet growing demand
for Mysore sandal and for this purpose government India sanctioned license to
manufacture 1500 tons of soaps and 75 tons of glycerin per year. The expansion
project wroth of Rs.21lakhs includes the shifting of the factory to a newly laid
industrial suburban of Bangalore.
The factory started functioning in this new premise (i.e,. present one)from 1
st
July
1957. From this year onwards till date the factory had never looked back, it has
achieved growth and development in production scales and profits.
The industry has 2 more divisions one at shimoga and another at Mysore where
sandalwood oil is extracted. The Mysore division started functioning from 1917
and only during 1984 manufacturing of perfumed and premiere quality
Agarbathies was started. Right from the first log of sandalwood that rolled into the
boiler room in 1916, the company has been single-minded pursuit of excellence.
The project took shape with the engineering skills and expertise of
Top-level team under the leadership of Sir. M.Visvescaraya, Prof.watson and
Dr.Sudbrough. like this soap factory was started small unit and now it has grown
up to a giant size .

INTRODUCTION;
Working capital indicates circular flow of cash i.e., a sort of revolving fund starting
with cash used to pay raw material, labor and operating expenses and when finished
goods are ready for sale, the cash is recovered through sales of the finished goods/semi-
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 62

finished goods, either on cash or on credit. Thus we have a circular cash flow from cash
to inventories to receivable and back to cash.

Working capital refers to the flow of ready funds necessary to work.
Ordinarily speaking working capital is understood to imply the liquid funds representing
the excess of current assets over current liabilities or the difference between current
assets and current liabilities.


WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE;
In case of working capital there are cyclical changes.. The company purchases
the raw material which means the cash is converted into raw material. When finished
goods are produced raw materials are converted into finished stock. Then finished goods
are sold on credit to t5he customer4s when stock is cycle begins with cash and ends with
cash. So it is called as working capital cycle.


INVENTORIES
All raw materials except preference material will be at 2 months stock level. The
purchases are done in bulk depending on the availability and demand for finished goods.
The company normally kept 3 months stock of uninterrupted production.

MANAGING CASH FLOW
Since KS&DL is dealing with very few customers and that to with the government
entities, it does not adopt any techniques for accelerating cash collections and controlling
cash disbursements

INTRODUCTION;

ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES
Account receivables or trade credit is the most prominent force of the modern
business. Sit is considered as an essential marketing tool, acting as abridge for the
movement of goods through production and distribution stages to customers finally. AS
firm grants credit to protect its sales from the competitor and to attract potential customer
trade credit thus creates receivable or book debts, which the firm is expected to collect in
future. It also involves an element of risk as the cash payment has to be received; hence
they have to be carefully analyzed.

Receivable constitute a substantial portion of current assets of several firms.
They form about 1/3 part of current assets in India As substantial amount are tied up in
trade debtors, it needs careful analysis and proper management, for proper management
of receivable a concern must adopt an optimum credit policy.

OPTIMUM CREADIT POLICY
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 65

The optimum investment in receivables will be at a level where there is tradeoff
between costs and pr4ofitability. When the firm resorts to a liberal credit policy the
profitability of firm increase in account of higher sales. However, such a policy
collection cost. The total investment in receivable increase and thus the problem of
liquidity is created. On the other hand a stringent credit policy reduces profitability off
between the profit and sales that bring in receivables.

VARIABLES OF CREDIT POLICY:
A firm should establish receivable policies after carefully considering both benefit
and cost of different policies. These policies relate to:
1. Credit standards
2. Credit terms and

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Introduction:
The term Financial Analysis and Interpretation refers to the process of
determining financial strengths and weakness of the firm by establishing a strategic
relationship between the components of financial statements and other operating
data.
The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information contained in
financial statements so as to judge the profitability and soundness of a firm. Financial
analysis means simplifications of financial data by methodical classification of data
given in the financial statements. Interpretation means explaining the meaning of
significance of data so simplified. The analysis and interpretation of financial
statements is used to determine the financial position and results of operations as
well.
Following are the common devices used to analyze the data. They are Ratio
analysis and trend analysis.

Ratio Analysis:
The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial analysis. It is
the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios (quantitative relationship
between figures and groups of figures). It is with the help of ratios that the financial
statements can be analysed more clearly and decisions made from such analysis.



Significance or Importance of ratio analysis:
It helps in evaluating the firms performance: With the help of ratio analysis
conclusion can be drawn regarding several aspects such as financial health,
profitability and operating efficiency of the undertaking. Ratio points out the
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 69

efficiency of the firm i.e. whether the management has utilized the firms assets
correctly, to increase the investors wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners and
secures optimum utilization of firms assets.

It helps in inter-firm comparison: Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by
providing necessary data. An inter- firm comparison indicates relative position. It
provides the relevant data for the performance of different departments. If
comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified
and if results are negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in
line.

It simplifies financial statement: The information given in the basic financial
statements serves no useful purpose unless it is interrupted and analyzed in some
comparable terms.

The ratio analysis is one of the tools in the hands of those who want to know
something more from the financial statements in the simplified manner.

It helps in determining the financial position of the concern: Ratio analysis
facilitates the management to know whether the firms financial position is
improving or deteriorating or it constant over the years by setting a trend with the
help of ratio analysis can know the direction of the trend of strategic ratio may help
the management in the task of planning, forecasting and controlling.

It helps in budgeting and forecasting: Accounting ratios provide a reliable data,
which can be compared, studied and analyzed. These ratios provide sound footing for
future prospectus. The ratios can also serve as a basis for preparing budgeting future
line of action.

Liquidity position: With help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding
the liquidity position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 70

if it is able to meet its current obligation when they become due. The ability to met
short term liabilities is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm.

Limitations of ratio analysis
The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial management.
Through ratios are simplest calculate and easy to understand they suffer from some
serious limitations:

1. Limited use of a single ratio: A single ratio usually does not convey much of a
sense, to make a better interpretation a number of ratios have to be calculated which
is likely to confuse the analyst than help him in making any meaningful conclusion.

2. Lack of adequate standards: There are no well accepted standards or rules of
thumb for all ratios which can be accepted as norms. It renders interpretation of the
ratios difficult.

3. Change in price levels makes ratio analysis ineffective: Changes in price level
often make comparison of figures for a number of difficult.

4. Inherent limitations of accounting: Like financial statements, ratios also suffer
from the inherent weakness of accounting records such as their historical nature
ratios of the past are not necessary true indicators of the firms.

5. Changes accounting procedure: Changes in accounting procedure by a firm often
makes ratio analysis misleading.

6. Window dressing: Financial statements can easily be window dressed to present a
better picture of its financial and profitability position to outsiders. Hence one has to
be very careful in making a decision from ratios calculated from such financial
statements.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 71

7. Ratios are not always comparable: When the ratio of two firms are being
compared, it us should be remembered that different firms may follow different
accounting practices.

8. Incomparable: Not only industries differ in their nature but also the firms of similar
business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures etc. It makes
comparisons of ratios difficult and misleading. Moreover, comparisons are made
difficult due to differences in definitions of various financial terms used in the ratio
analysis.

9. Ratios no substitutes: Ratio analysis is merely a tool of financial statements. Hence
ratios become useless if separated from the statements. Hence ratios become useless
if separated from the statements from which they are compared.

Classification of ratios:
The use of ratio analysis is not confined to financial manager only. There are
different parties interested in the ratios analysis for knowing the financial position of
a firm for different purpose. In view of various users of ratios, there are many types
of ratios which can be calculated from the information given in the financial
statements. The three types of ratios are:



LIQUIDITY RATIO
Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current obligations as
and when these become due. The short term obligations are met by realizing amounts
from current, floating or circulating assets should either be liquid or near liquidity.
These should be convertible into cash for paying obligations of short term nature. To
measure the liquidity of a firm, the following ratios can be calculate
i. Current Ratio
ii. Quick or Acid Test or Liquid Ratio
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 72

iii. Absolute Liquid Ratio or Cash Position Ratio
Current Ratio:
It can be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.
This ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the
analysis of a short term financial position or liquidity of a firm. It is calculated by
dividing the total of current assets by total of the current liabilities
Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

Interpretation
From the above table, we can observe that the liquidity position of the company
during the year 2011-12 was high, which indicates that the firm was in a good position to
pay its current obligations. On the other hand, the funds are not utilized to its full
capacity. During the previous years, the current ratio has decreased, which shows the
improvement in the efficiency of current assets managements, which has achieved the
ideal current ratio. Thus the firm is efficiently utilizing its current assets.

2) Quick or Acid Test or Liquid Ratio:
It may be defined as the relationship between quick assets and current or
liquid liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash within a
short period without loss of value. In that sense, cash in hand and cash at bank are the
most liquid assets. The other assets which can be included in the liquid assets are
bills receivable, sundry debtors, marketable securities and short term or temporary
investments. Inventories cannot be termed to be liquid assets because they cannot be
converted into cash immediately without a sufficient loss of value, and even prepaid
expenses are also excluded from the list of quick assets because they are not expected
to be converted into cash. The quick ratio can be calculated by dividing the total of
the quick assets by current liabilities.
Quick Ratio = Quick or Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities
Quick assets= Current assets Inventories
Table showing the Quick ratio of KS & DL
Table 2:
Years Liquid assets Current liabilities Quick Ratio
2007-2008 585767733 475523005 1.68

2011-2012 631126126 373557127 1.23


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 75




Inference: It is inferred that the company has ability to meet its current liquid
liabilities. Hence, a firm having a high quick ratio may not have a satisfactory
liquidity position if it has slow paying debtors. On the hand, a firm having a low
quick ratio may have a good liquidity position if has fast moving inventories.
From the above table we can observe that during the previous years the liquid ratio
has been high compared to year 2007-08. 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11and 2011-12
the Quick ratio has increase during year to year which indicates the good
improvement of Management of Assets.

3. Absolute Quick ratio
Although receivables, debtors and bills receivable are generally more
liquid than inventories, yet there may be doubts regarding their realisation into
cash immediately or in time. Hence some authorities are of the opinion that the
absolute liquid ratio should also be calculated together with current ratio and
acid test ratio so as to exclude even receivables from the current assets and find
out the absolute liquid assets. Absolute liquid assets include cash in hand and at
bank and marketable securities or temporary investments.
Cash Ratio =Cash and Bank +Short Term Securities /Current Liabilities

INTERPRETATION: -
Debt- Equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which Debt financing has
been used in a business. The ratio indicates the proportionate claims of the
owners and the outsiders against the firms assets. The purpose is to get the idea
of the cushion available to the outsiders on the liquidity of the firm. A low ratio is
generally viewed as favorable from the long-term creditors point of view,
because a large margin of protection provides safety for the creditors. The same
low ratio may be taken as unsatisfactory by the shareholders because they find
neglected opportunities for using low cost outsiders funds to acquire fixed assets.
Keeping in view the interest of shareholders and long-term creditors, debt equity
ratio of 1:1 is advisable. From the above table we can infer that the KS & DL has
maintained satisfactory ratio during the year 2008-09 increased & it has been
decreasing during the year 2009-10 onwards.

INTERPRETATION:
Generally the purchase of FAs should be financed by Shareholders equity
including reserves, surplus and retained earnings. If the ratios are less than 100%,
it implies that owners funds are more than the fixed assets and the shareholders
provide a part of the working capital. The ratio is satisfactory when it is between
60% to 65%. From the above table, it is evident that KS & DL has not achieved
this ideal ratio. The firm has maintained very low ratio ranging below 20%.
Hence KS & DL has to achieve the ideal ratio in the coming years for better
utilization of the proprietors funds.

INTERPRETATION:
This ratio indicates the extent to which the total fixed assets are financed by long
term funds of the firm. In other words this ratio indicates the mode of financing
the fixed assets.
Generally, the total of the fixed assets should be equal to the total of long-term
funds or say the ratio should be 100%. But in case the fixed assets exceeds the
total of long term funds it implies that the firm has financed a part of fixed assets
out of current funds or working capital which is not the good financial policy. And

if the total long term funds are more than total fixed assets, it means that a part
of the working capital is financed but of long term funds of the firm. In case of KS
& DL the Fixed Assets to long-term funds is very low (i.e. below 15%) in all the
years, which shows the inefficiency of the company in proper utilization of long-
term funds.

INTERPRETATION:-
Proprietary ratio represents the relationship of owners funds to total
assets. When the ratio is high the risk is low. The ratio below 50% may be
alarming for the creditors since they may have to lose heavily in the event of
companys liquidation on account of heavy losses. From the above table, we can
observe that the proprietary ratio has been maintained below 50%. Hence KS &
DL company has low of 2009-10 previous years and 2010-11years on words

From the study of the companys performance for the past five years and the
overall analysis of the organization, it can be concluded that Karnataka Soaps And
Detergents Limited has sufficient working capital to meet its current obligations
and day-to-day operations. The company is doing its best with their innovative
ideas by introducing new products with high quality and by adopting good
channels of distribution.

Working capital has emerged as a major factor in the profitability of the
business. The goal of working capital is to minimize the cost of working capital
while maximizing the firms profit. Thus, in a country like India, manner of
administration of working capital will determine to a very large extent the success
or failure of overall operations of a firm.

The production value has increased during the years and the sales and the
sales volume is retrieving to increase. But at the same time inventory turnover is
decreasing. The company should contribute towards inventory. It may fetch to
increase in production and also helps in increasing profit to the company.

It is worth noticing that its overall performance is favorable. But a little more
attention may be taken in managing the various aspects of working capital
