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.

1.8 PRINCIPLES OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
1. PRINCIPLE OF RISK VARIATION PRINCIPLES OF WORKING CAPITAL 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 . WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

Special Working Capital
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL
Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 9
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 INVESTMENTS CASH FUND RECEVIVABLES OPERATIONS Service & production Operating Expense Credt sales production Cash collections production CASH WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL
Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 12
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. WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

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.

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
Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 23
INTERNAL SOURCES 1. Withdrawing the deprecation funds 2. Using the resources meant for taxation 3. Postponement of payment of accrued expenses
EXTERNAL SOURCES 1. Bank credit 2. Trade credit 3. Bills of exchange and other promissory notes 4. Public deposit (short term) 5. Customer deposit 6. Government assistance 7. Loans from directors Security deposit from employees

7. High morale Adequacy of working capitals creates an environment of security, confidence, high morale and creates overall efficiency in a business. WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL
Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 25
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:

CHAPTE-2 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.

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.

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.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL
Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 63
STOCK Refers to the stock of chemicals. Perfumery material and packing material.
WORK-IN-PROGRESS The period allowed as per the norms in 2 weeks.

Govt First Grade for boys college Chintamani Page 64
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.

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 (1)Table showing current ratio of ks&dl

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. 1.85 2.42 2.21 2.13 2.99 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010 2010-2011 2011-2012 Current Ratio Current Ratio WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT KS&DL

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 2008-2009 683920100 451607354 1.2 2009-2010 721954754 561527841 1.29 2010-2011 675905562 563447217 1.51 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 Table 3: Table showing the Absolute Liquid ratio of KS & DL Table 3: Years Super Quick assets Current liabilities Super Quick ratio 2007-2008 334385423 308752365 1.083 2008-2009 255132910 246650794 1.03 2009-2010 285359727 292361773 0.97 2010-2011 24314138 273532955 0.87 2011-2012 377803712 373557127 1.01

7. DEBT-EQUITY RATIO Debt Equity Ratio is also known as External-Internal Equity ratio. It is calculated to measure the relative claims of outsiders and owners (i.e. Shareholders) against the firm assets. This ratio indicates the relationship between the eternal equities or outsiders funds and internal equities or shareholders fund. Dividing the external equity by the total internal equity can derive it.

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.

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.

10. PROPRIETORY RATIO Proprietary Ratio is a variant of Debt Equity ratio. It establishes relationship between shareholders fund and total assets of the firm. The ratio of proprietors funds to total funds is an important ratio for determining long-term solvency of the firm. The components of this ratio are shareholders funds and total assets. The total assets denote the total resources of the firm. This ratio can be calculated by dividing the shareholders funds by total assets.

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%.
