EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A Study of Working Capital Management (WCM) of Kalyani Maxion Wheels Pvt.


Ltd, Pune. The major objective of the study is to get proper understanding of the
working capital management of Kalyani Maxion Wheels Ltd. and to suggest to
measures to overcome the shortfalls if any.
Funds needed for short term purpose like purchase of raw materials, payment of
wages and other day to day expenses are known as working capital. Decisions
relating to working capital (Current assets-Current Liabilities) and short term
financing are known as Working Capital Management. It involves the relationship
between firm’s short-term assets and its short-term liabilities. By definition, working
capital management entails short-term finance, generally relating to the next one year
period.
The goal of working capital management is to ensure that the firm is able to continue
its operation and that it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short-term
debt and upcoming operational expenses.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Working capital is primarily concerned with inventories management, receivable


management, cash management and payable management.

CHAPTER - 1
INDIAN AUTO ANCILLARY INDUSTRY
Introduction
Indian auto component sector Indian auto ancillary/auto component industry is one
of the fastest growing industries and is riding on the success of the auto sector. Indian
auto industry is highly competitive with the presence of a large number of global and
Indian auto-companies The auto-components industry accounts for almost 7% of
India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs as many as 19 million people,
both directly and indirectly. A stable government framework, increased purchasing
power, large domestic market, and an ever-increasing development in infrastructure
have made India a favorable destination for investment.

Market Participation
Auto sector alone contributes nearly 84.3% of the total turnover (OEM) and the rest
belongs to the replacement market. The auto component sector clocked a turnover of
USD 35.1 bn in FY14, recording a CAGR of 7.8% during the period of 20082014
and is projected to become the fourth largest automobile producer globally by 2020
with a turnover over USD 150 bn by FY20, according to Automotive Component
Manufacturing Association of India (ACMA).
Over the last decade, the automotive components industry has scaled three times to
US$ 40 billion in 2015 while exports have grown even faster to US$11 billion. This
has been driven by strong growth in the domestic market and increasing globalisation
(including exports) of several Indian suppliers.
According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India

7
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

(ACMA), the Indian auto-components industry is expected to register a turnover of


US$ 100 billion by 2020 backed by strong exports ranging between US$ 80-US$ 100
billion by 2026, from the current US $11.2 billion.

Investments
The cumulative Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows into the Indian automobile
industry during the period April 2000 – September 2016 were recorded at US$ 15.80
billion, as per data by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
Some of the major investments made into the Indian auto components sector are as
follows:

• MRF Ltd plans to invest Rs 4,500 crore (US$ 660.231 million) in its two
factories in Tamil Nadu as part of its expansion plan.
• Hero MotoCorp is investing Rs 5,000 crore (US$ 733.59 million) in five
manufacturing facilities across India, Colombia and Bangladesh, to increase
its annual production capacity to 12 million units by 2020.
• Auto components maker Bharat Forge Ltd (BFL), the flagship company of
the US$ 3 billion Kalyani Group, has formalised agreement with RollsRoyce
Plc which will supply BFL with critical and high integrity forged and
machined components.
• Japanese auto major Honda is planning to step up supply and target exporting
of auto components worth Rs 1,500 crore (US$ 224.45 million) from India to
it various international operations.
• Gestamp, a Spanish automobile component manufacturing company, has
invested Rs 260 crore (US$ 38.63 million) in a new hot stamping plant in
Pune, in order to cater to the increasing demand for lighter vehicles in India.
Exide Industries, India’s biggest automotive battery maker, plans to invest
around Rs 300 crore (US$ 45 million) in West Bengal to expand its capacity
for advanced motorcycle batteries over a period of 18 months.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

• Mercedes Benz India Private Limited has set up India’s largest spare parts
warehouse in Pune, with an area of 16,500 square meters which can stock up
to 44,000 parts. It will also include a vehicle preparation centre that can stock
up to 5,700 cars to customise them before delivery.
• Everstone Capital, a Singapore-based private equity (PE) firm, has purchased
51 per cent in Indian auto components maker SJS Enterprises for an
estimated Rs 350 crore (US$ 51.35 million).

Government Initiatives
The Government of India’s Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016 has come a
long way in ensuring growth for the sector. It expected that this sector’s contribution
to the GDP will reach US$ 145 billion in 2016 due to the government’s special focus
on exports of small cars, multi-utility vehicles (MUVs), two and threewheelers and
auto components. Separately, the deregulation of FDI in this sector has also helped
foreign companies to make large investment in India.The Government of India’s
Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2016–2026 envisages creation of an additional 50
million jobs along with an ambitious target of increasing the value of the output of
the sector to up to Rs 1,889,000 crore (US$ 282.65 billion).

Road Ahead
The rapidly globalising world is opening up newer avenues for the transportation
industry, especially while it makes a shift towards electric, electronic and hybrid cars,
which are deemed more efficient, safe and reliable modes of transportation. Over the
next decade, this will lead to newer verticals and opportunities for autocomponent
manufacturers, who would need to adapt to the change via systematic research and
development.

9
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

The Indian auto-component industry is set to become the third largest in the world
by 2025. Indian auto-component makers are well positioned to benefit from the
globalisation of the sector as exports potential could be increased by up to four times
to US$ 40 billion by 2020.

GLOBAL INDUSTRY

Global automotive industry has been witnessing a high growth which is laying
exponential opportunities for the automotive parts industry. There are basically two
types of market for auto parts manufacturing namely Original Equipment
Manufacturing (OEM) and aftermarket. In OEM the auto parts manufacturing
industry supply components to the OEMs which are the automobile manufacturers.
Generally the aftermarket supplies of auto parts manufacturing is greater than its
OEM supplies.
The global automotive industry is in a state of flux with markets like India and
China driving growth. The annual sales figures in more mature markets are now at
pre-recession levels, signaling a new beginning for this sector. However, this
transformational phase is also laden with subtle uncertainties. The biggest
challenge that the industry needs to overcome this year is the unevenness of the
global markets resulting from turmoil in stock market levels, license restrictions on
new vehicles, stringent emission controls and so on.

The road ahead

In 2016, we are likely to realize that the weakness of the emerging markets is
temporary, especially in light of the fact that the market fundamentals in such regions
are showing early signs of recovery. The global demand for LVs (Light Vehicles) is
predicted to grow consistently in these economies owing to the rise in per capita
income.
Automotive industry experts tend to be optimistic about the market on a global
level, where the growth forecast is a steady 5.1% in 2016 over a mere 2.1% in
2015. In fact, the estimation has pegged the worldwide automotive sales to reach 90

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

million units in the coming year. Now, let us have a quick look at some of the key
growth initiators and what they mean for the sector:
• Reinforcing economy along with strong employment will help the US market to cross
18 million units over the next two years
• Low European interest rates, easy finance options, government incentives and dealer
discounts will fuel a 2.5- 3% rise in sales in Europe
• Declining interest rates and low energy prices will accelerate the Indian automotive
market, allowing a double digit growth for the first time since 2010
• China’s initiative to reduce sales tax for passenger vehicles is expected to expand the
overall volume by 15-16% in 2016 So the writing’s on the wall, the industry is likely
to make a serious comeback. With powerful new trends and forces to confront, global
automotive companies clearly have their tasks cut out for them.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Working capital is the capital available for conducting the day-to-day operations of an
organization; normally the excess of current assets over current liabilities.
Working capital management is the management of all aspects of both current
assets and current liabilities, to minimize the risk of insolvency while maximizing
the return on asset.
Working capital has been described as the “life blood of any business which is apt because
it constitutes a cyclically flowing stream through the business”.

Working Capital may be classified in two ways: a)


Concept based working capital
b) Time based working capital

Concepts of working capital


1. Gross Working Capital: It refers to the firm’s investment in total current or circulating
assets.

2. Net Working Capital:


The term “Net Working Capital” has been defined in two different ways:
i.) It is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. This is, as a matter of fact,
the most commonly accepted definition. Some people define it as only the
difference between current assets and current liabilities. The former seems to be a
better definition as compared to the latter.
ii.) It is that portion of a firm’s current assets which is financed by long-term funds.

2
2
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

3. Permanent Working Capital: This refers to that minimum amount of investment in all
current assets which is required at all times to carry out minimum level of business
activities. In other words, it represents the current assets required on a continuing basis
over the entire year. Tandon Committee has referred to this type of working capital as
“Core current assets”.
The following are the characteristics of this type of working capital:
1. Amount of permanent working capital remains in the business in one form or
another. This is particularly important from the point of view of financing. The
suppliers of such working capital should not expect its return during the life-time of
the firm.

2. It also grows with the size of the business. In other words, greater the size of
the business, greater is the amount of such working capital and vice versa
Permanent working capital is permanently needed for the business and therefore it should
be financed out of long-term funds.

4. Temporary Working Capital: The amount of such working capital keeps


on fluctuating from time to time on the basis of business activities. In other words,
it represents additional current assets required at different times during the
operating year. For example, extra inventory has to be maintained to support sales
during peak sales period. Similarly, receivable also increase and must be financed
during period of high sales. On the other hand investment in inventories,
receivables, etc., will decrease in periods of depression. Suppliers of temporary
working capital can expect its return during off season when it is not required by
the firm. Hence, temporary working capital is generally financed from short term
sources of finance such as bank credit.

5. Negative Working Capital: This situation occurs when the current liabilities
exceed the current assets. It is an indication of crisis to the firm.

The main objective of working capital management is to get the balance of current assets
and current liabilities right.

2

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Importance of working capital management


Current assets are a major financial position statement item and specially significant
to smaller firms. Mismanagement of working capital is therefore a common cause
of business failure, e.g.:
• Inability to meet bills as they fall due
• Demand on cash during periods of growth being too great (overtrading)
Overstocking
Working capital management is a key factor in an organization’s long-term success.

The balancing act: Profitability Vs Liquidity

The decision regarding the level of overall investment in working capital is a cost/benefit
trade-off – liquidity versus profitability.

2
4
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Unprofitable companies can survive if they have liquidity. Profitable companies can
fail if they run out of cash to pay their liabilities (wages, amount due to suppliers,
overdraft, interest, etc.).
Liquidity in the context of working capital management means having enough cash
or ready cash to meet all payment obligations when these fall due. The main
sources of liquidity are usually:
• Cash in the bank
• Short-term investments that can be cashed in easily and quickly
• Cash inflows from normal trading operations (cash sales and payments by receivables for
credit sales)
• An overdraft facility or other ready source of extra borrowings.
Cash balances and cash flows need to be monitored just as closely as trading profits

Elements of working capital


Managing working capital involves managing the individual elements which make up
working capital:
• Accounts Receivables
• Accounts Payables
• Inventory

Funding strategies
In the same was as for long-term investments, a firm must make decision about
what source of finance is best used for the funding of working capital requirements.
The decision about whether to choose short-term or long-term options depends upon
a number of factors:
• The extent to which current assets are permanent or fluctuating
• The costs and risks of short-term finance

2
5
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

• The attitude of management to risk

Permanent or fluctuating current assets


In most businesses a proportion of the current assets are fixed over time, i.e.
‘permanent’. For example:
• Buffer inventory
• Receivables during the credit period
• Minimum cash balances

The choice of how to finance the permanent current assets is a matter for
managerial judgment, but includes as analysis of the cost and risks of short-term
finance.

The attitude of management to risk: aggressive, conservative and matching funding


policies
There is no ideal funding package, but three approaches may be identified.
• Aggressive – finance most current assets, including ‘permanent’ ones, with short-term
finance. Risky but profitable.
• Conservative – long-term finance is used for most current assets, including a proportion of
fluctuating current assets. Stable but expensive.
• Matching – the duration of the finance is matched to the duration of the investment.
A firm choosing to have a lower level of working capital than rivals is said to have
an ‘aggressive’ approach, whereas a fisrm with a higher level of working capital
has a ‘conservative’ approach.
An aggressive approach will result in higher profitability and higher risk, while a conservative
approach will result in lower profitability and lower risk.

2

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Over-capitalization
If there are excessive inventories, accounts receivable and cash, and very few
accounts payable, there will be excessive and the company will be overcapitalized.

Overtrading
Cash flow is the lifeblood of the thriving business. Effective and efficient
management of the working capital investment is essential to maintaining control of
business cash flow. Management must have full awareness of the profitability
versus liquidity trade-off.
For example, healthy trading growth typically produces:
• Increased profitability
• The need to increase investment in non-current assets and working capital.
In contrast to over-capitalization, if the business does not have access to sufficient
capital to fund the increase, it is said to be “overtrading”. This can cause serious
trouble for the business as it is unable to pay its business creditors.
The cash operating cycle (elements)
The cash operating cycle is the length of time between the company’s outlay on raw
materials, wages and other expenditure and the inflow of cash from the sale of
goods.
The faster a firm can ‘push’ items around the cycle the lower its investment in working
capital will be.

2

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Calculation of the cash operating cycle


For a manufacturing business, the cash operating cycle is calculated as:
Raw materials holding period x
Less: payables payment period (x)
WIP holding period x
Finished goods holding period x
Receivables collection period x
. x

2
8
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

The cycle may be measured in days, weeks or months. The holding periods are calculated
using a series of working capital ratios.

Factors affecting the length of the operating cycle Length


of the cycle depends on:

• liquidity versus profitability decisions


• terms of trade
• management efficiency
• industry norms, e.g. retail versus construction
The optimum level of working capital is the amount that results in no idle cash or unused
inventory, but that does not put a strain on liquid resources.

Working capital ratios


Ratios to determine the operating cycle
The periods used to determine the cash operating cycle are calculated by using a series
of working capital ratios.
The ratios for the individual components (inventory, receivables and payables) are
normally expressed as the number of days/weeks/months of the relevant income
statement figure they represent.

Inventory holding period


The ratio is calculates the length of time inventory is held between purchase and sale.
Calculated as:
= Inventory x 365 .
Cost of Sales

2
9
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

In some cases, a more detailed breakdown of inventory may be required. Inventory holding
periods can be calculated for each type of inventory: raw materials, workin-progress and
finished goods.
Raw material inventory holding period
The length of time raw materials is held between purchase and being used in
production. Calculated as:

= Raw material inventory x 365 .


Material usage

WIP holding period


The length of time goods spend in production.
Calculated as:
= Work-in-progress inventory held x 365 .
Production cost

Finished goods inventory period

The length of time finished goods are held between completion or purchase and sale.

Calculated as:
= Finished goods inventory held x 365 .
Cost of goods sold

For all inventory period ratios, a low ratio is usually seen as a sign of good working
capital management. It is very expensive to hold inventory and thus minimum
inventory holding usually points to good practice.

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Trade receivables days


The length of time credit is extended to customers.
Calculated as:
= Receivables x 365 .
Credit sales
Generally shorter credit periods are seen as financially sensible but length will also depend
upon the nature of the business.

Trade payable days


The average period of credit extended by suppliers.
Calculated as:
= Trade payables x 365 .
Credit purchases
Generally, increasing payables days suggests advantages is being taken of available
credit but there are risks:
• losing supplier goodwill
• losing prompt payment discounts
• Suppliers increasing the price to compensate.

Working capital liquidity ratios Two


key measures :
the current ratio and quick ratio, are used to assess short-term liquidity. Generally a higher
ratio indicates better liquidity.

Current ratio
3
1
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

Measures how much of the total current assets are financed by current liabilities.
Calculated as:
= Current assets .
Current liabilities
A measure of 2:1 means that current liabilities can be paid twice over out of existing
current assets.

Quick (acid test) ratio


The quick or acid test ratio measures how well current liabilities are covered by liquid
assets. This ratio is particularly useful where inventory holding periods are long.
Calculated as:
= Current assets – Inventory .
Current liabilities
A measure of 1:1 means that the company is able to meet existing liabilities if they all
fall due at once.

Working capital turnover


One final ratio that relates to working capital is the working turnover ratio and is calculated
as:
= Sales revenue .
Net working capital
This measures how efficiently management is utilizing its investment in working capital
to generate sales and can be useful when assessing whether a company is overtrading. It
must be interpreted in the light of the other ratios used.
OBJECTIVES

• To understand the concept of working capital management and its importance.

3
2
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

• To study the sources and uses of the working capital.


• To determine the amount of the working capital employed by KMWPL.
• To analyze the working capital management financial performance of the
KMWPL.
• To offer suggestions based on findings of the study.

SCOPE
The study is conducted at “Kalyani Maxion Wheels Pvt. Ltd. Pune” for 8 weeks duration.
The study is purely based on secondary data and all the information is available
within the company itself in the form of records. To get proper understanding of this
concept, I have done the study of the balance sheets, profit and loss a/c, cash
accounts, trial balance. I have also interacted with employees of finance department.
So, scope of the study is limited up to the availability of official records and
information provided by the employees. The study is supposed to be related to the
period of last five years.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

• The analysis is limited to just five years of data study for financial analysis.

• Limited interaction with the concerned heads due to their busy schedule.

• The study covered a wide concept hence wide collection was not possible.

• The findings of the study are based on the information retrieved by the
selective unit.

• It has been difficult to calculate and analyze the ratio of foreign companies, because
their accounting policies are different compare to Indian financial accounting principles.
The Indian companies follow the INDIAN “GAAP” where as foreign companies follow
the US GAAP.

LITERATURE REVIEW

1. The research done by, Gass D., “How to Improve Working Capital
Management” (2006) “Cash is the lifeblood of business” is an often repeated
maxim amongst financial managers. Working capital management refers to the
management of current or short-term assets and short-term liabilities.
Components of short-term assets include inventories, loans and advances,
debtors, investments and cash and bank balances. Short-term liabilities include
creditors, trade advances, borrowings and provisions. The major emphasis is,
however, on short-term liabilities arise in the context of shortterm assets. It is
important that the companies minimize risk by prudent working capital
management.

2. The research done by, Thachappilly G., “Working Capital Management


Manages Flow of Funds”, (2009) describes that Working capital is the cash
needed to carry on operations during the cash conversion cycle, i.e. the days
from paying for raw materials to collecting cash from customers. Raw
materials and operating supplies must be bought and stored to ensure
uninterrupted production. Wages, salaries, utility charges and other incidentals
must be paid for converting the materials into finished products. Customers
must be allowed a credit period that is standard in the business. Only at the
end of this cycle does cash flow in again. The research done by,

Beneda, Nancy; Zhang, Yilei, “Working Capital Management, Growth and Performance
of New Public Companies.

3. The research done by, Samiloglu F. and Demirgunes K., “The Effect of
Working Capital Management on Firm Profitability: Evidence from Turkey” (2008)
describes that the effect of working capital management on firm profitability. In
accordance with this aim, to consider statistically significant relationships between firm
profitability and the components of cash conversion cycle at length, a sample consisting
of Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) listed manufacturing firms for the period of 1998-2007
has been analyzed under a multiple regression model. Empirical findings of the study
show that accounts receivables period, inventory period and leverage affect firm
profitability negatively; while growth (in sales) affects firm profitability positively.

4. Impact of Working Capital Management Policies on Corporate Performance -


An Empirical study – Sushma Vishnani, Bhupesh Kr. Shah (2007). It is felt
that there is the need to study the role of working capital management policies
on profitability of a company. Conventionally, it has been seen that if a
company desires to take a greater risk for bigger profits and losses, it reduces
the size of its working capital in relation to its sales. If it is interested in
improving its liquidity, it increases the level of its working capital.

However, this policy is likely to result in a reduction of the sales volume,


therefore of profitability. Hence, a company should strike a balance between
liquidity and profitability. In this paper an effort has been made to make an
empirical study of Indian Consumer Electronics Industry for assessing the
impact of working capital policies & practices on profitability during the
period 1994-95 to 2004-05. The impact of working capital policies on

3

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

profitability has been examined by computing coefficient of correlation and


regression analysis between profitability ratio and some key working capital
policy indicators ratios.

5. The research done by, Maynard E. Rafuse, “Working capital management:


an urgent need to refocus” Management Decision, (1996) Argues that attempts
to improve working capital by delaying payment to creditors is counter-
productive to individuals and to the economy as a whole. Claims that altering
debtor and creditor levels for individual tiers within a value system will rarely
produce any net benefit. Proposes that stock reduction generates system-wide
financial improvements and other important benefits. Urges those
organizations seeking concentrated working capital reduction strategies to
focus on stock management strategies based on “lean supply-chain”
techniques.

6. Capital Expenditure on Working Capital Management: An Empirical Study


across Industries in Thailand”, International Management Review, (2008), the
purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of firms capital expenditure
on their working capital management. The author used Shulman The research
done by, Appuhami, Ranjith B A, “The impact of Firms and Cox’s (1985)
Net Liquidity Balance and Working Capital Requirement as a proxy for
working capital measurement and developed multiple regression models. The
empirical research found that firm’s capital expenditure has a significant
impact on working capital management. The study also found that the firm’s

operating cash flow, which was recognized as a control variable, has a


significant relationship with working capital management.

Interpretation:
The above table depicts the current assets of the company from 2012 to 2016,
during 2012 total current assets was Rs. 1316.63 millions, in the year 2013 it was Rs.
1321.76 millions, in year 2014 it was Rs. 1609.55 millions, in the year 2015 it was Rs.
1807.16 millions and in the year 2016 it was Rs. 1933.41 millions.

From the above table and graph it can be observed that there is an increase in the value
of current assets from year 2011-12 to 2015-16, which indicates growth of the
organization. The current assets increased in a small proportion from year 2012 to 2013
and the year 2015 to 2016. But in later years the increase was significant.

Interpretation:
Acceptable current ratio vary from industry to industry. Generally, a current ratio of
2:1 is considered to be acceptable. The higher the current ratio is, the more capable
the company is to pay its obligations. Acc. to these industry as per bank norms
current ratio of 1.3 is a ideal ratio.

4

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

The current ratios from 2012 to 2016 are calculated and presented in the above table.
The current ratio for the year 2012 was 1.03 which has increases to 1.14 in 2013
because current assets have increased by approx. 4% to that of decrease in current
liabilities by approx. 9%. 2013 and 2014 the current ratio is maintained at 1.14
times. In 2015 it has again dropped from 1.14 times to 1.08 times and same is
maintained in 2016.

The company has maintained its current ratio above 1.3 which is a good sign; it
means that the company is capable to pay its obligations and has maintained the ratio
through out these years.

Interpretation:
Liquid ratio is an indicator of solvency of an entity and must be analyzed over a
period of time and also in the context of the industry the company operates in.
Generally, company should aim to maintain a liquid ratio that provides sufficient
leverage against liquidity risk given the level of predictability and volatility in a
specific business sector among other considerations. The more uncertain the
business environment, the more likely that companies would maintain higher liquid
ratios. Conversely, where cash flows are stable and predictable, companies would
seek to keep liquid ratio at relatively lower levels.

From the above table it can be noted that quick ratio of 0.83 at the end of year 2015
was highest. In the year 2016 the quick ratio was lowest at 0.62. Generally, a quick
ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial situation, but it
does not imply a sound financial position. It should be kept in mind that all debtors

4
5
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

may not be liquid, and cash may be immediately needed to pay operating expenses.
Thus a company with a high value of quick ratio can suffer from shortage of funds if
it has slow paying, doubtful and long duration outstanding debtors. On other hand, a
company with a low value of quick ratio may really be operating with prosperity and
paying its obligations in time if it has been turning over its inventories

efficiently.

Interpretation:
A company’s net working capital is the amount of money it has available to spend
on its day-to-day business operations, such as paying short term bills and buying
inventory, paying wages, salaries. Positive working capital is required to ensure that
a firm is able to continue its operations and has sufficient funds to satisfy both
maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. Form the above
table and graph it can be seen that the company has maintained a positive net
working capital.

Initially the company in the year 2012 was having small amount(Rs.37.48 millions)
of working capital which later on increased in the coming year. The company is
maintaining its working capital at Rs.137.91 millions at the end of FY2016 which is
approx. 4 times of 2012 working capital.

Interpretation:
Inventory turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio that shows how effectively inventory is
managed by comparing cost of goods sold with average inventory for the period. This
measures how many times average inventory is turned or sold during a period.

4

ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

The inventory turnover ratio of the company is maintained between 5.49 times to
7.27 times. The inventory turnover ratio of the company is 6.19 times in year 2012,
which has declined to 5.49 times in 2013,whereas the same happened in the year
2015where inventory turnover ratio is 7.67 which declined drastically to 4.38 in 2016
this may be because the sales level has fallen over these year and the average stock
of the company has almost remained the same and the stock in the year 2016 has
increased by margin of Rs. 200 million.

Interpretation:
Inventory conversion period reports us about the average time to convert our total
inventory into sales. It is relationship between total days in year and inventory
turnover ratio. Less inventory conversion period is better because more quickly, we
will convert our inventory into sales, there will be less chance of obsolescence and
paying of over-stocking cost.

From the above table we can interpret that the company has maintained the inventory
conversion period between 50days-66days expect in the year 2016 where is 83 days.
There has been a major fluctuation in 2016.

Interpretation:
Debtors turnover ratio measures company’s efficiency in collecting its sales on
credit and collection policies. A high receivables turnover ratio implies either that
the company operates on a cash basis, it may also indicate that the company’s
collection of accounts receivables is efficient, and that the company has a high
proportion of quality customers that pay off their debts quickly.

5
1
ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF KMWPL

The company’s debtors turnover ratio was 6.81 times in 2012 which dropped down
to 5.94 times. This may be because the sales have not shown any significant growth
over these years while the average debtors have grown from 619.94 million to
696.565 million. Debtors turnover ratio has again increased to 7.21 in 2014 due to
increase in sales. In 2015 and 2016 the debtors turnover ratio has decreased to 6.57
respectively and 6.59 because the sales have increased only by few margin while
the debtors have increased by a higher margin.

Interpretation:
The average collection period is the average number of days between the date that a credit
sale is made and the date that the money is received from the customers.

Monitoring the average collection period is important for a company’s cash flow and
its ability to meet its obligations when they come due. The credit period offered by
company is 60-90 days.
From the above table and graph it can be seen that the average collection period of
the company is between 51 days to 61 days which is less than the credit term given by
the company which means that the company is timely receiving money from its
customers.

Interpretation:
The working capital ratio measures how well a company is utilizing its working
capital to support a given level of sales. A high turnover ratio indicates that the
management is being extremely efficient in using a firm’s short-term assets and
liabilities to support sales. Conversely, a low ratio indicates that a business is
investing in too many accounts receivables and inventory assets to support its sales,
which could eventually lead to the bad debts and obsolete inventory.
