 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

When we talk of research methodology, we not only talk of the research methods but
also the comparison of the logic behind the methods, we used in this context of our
research study and explain why we are using a particular method or technique and why
using the others. Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research
problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done
systematically. In this, we study the various steps that are generally adopted by
researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them.
“The present study is based upon the case study method of research to investigate
procedures at micro level”.
As the study is analyzing probing in nature, thus, entirely based on the secondary data
gathered through the annual reports of the industry. Therefore it provides a historical
perspective of decisions.
 RESEARCH

Research refers to search for knowledge. Research is an original contribution to the

existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. It is the pursuit of truth with
the help of study, observation, comparison and experiment. In short, the search for
knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solution of the problem
is research. The advance learner’s dictionary of current English gives the meaning of
research “a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in
any branch of knowledge”.

RESEARCH METHODS
Research methods may be understood as those methods/techniques that are used for
conduction of research. All those methods which are used by the researcher during the
course of studying his research problem, are termed as research methods . Keeping in
view, the research methods can be put into following three groups:
 In the first group we include those methods which are concerned with the
collection of data. These methods will be used where the data already
available are sufficient to arrive at the required solution.
 The second group consists of those statistical techniques which are used
to establish relationships between the data and the unknown.
 The third group consists of those methods which are used to evaluate the
accuracy of the obtained results.
COLLECTION OF DATA
There are several ways of collecting the appropriate data which differ considerably in
context of money, cost, time and other sources at the disposable of the researcher.
There are two types of data:
• Primary data
• Secondary data

Primary data
Primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus
happen to be original in character. In case of descriptive research, researcher performs
survey whether sample survey or census survey, thus we obtain primary data either
through
• Observation
• Direct communication with respondent
• Personal interview

Secondary data
Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else and have
already been passed through statistical process.

In this project report, both types of data have been used. Mainly, secondary data is
used such as annual reports of last two years of Grasim industries.

ICETOUCH
One of the most successful innovations of Grasim in the past couple of years is ‘ICE
TOUCH’. Ice Touch is a pioneer and continues to hold its preeminent position in
moisture management based products in India. This product is well accepted all over
India continues to be the market leader.

This product is based on Japanese technology. Grasim have collaborated to and

innovated its use on Polyester Viscose blended fabrics to adapt this product to the
Indian conditions and the Indian consumer.

The unique properties of ‘ICE TOUCH’ are its instantaneous absorption of water,
spreading of the same over a large surface area and its quick evaporation. When you
sweat the liquid is quickly absorbed by the fabric and evaporated. When this liquid
evaporates it takes heat from the inside of the fabric and thereby giving the wearer a
very cool feeling.
Ice Touch is a specially engineered product produced from selected fabric
constructions using innovative processing routines along with the aforesaid technology
to get a wonderful handle and feel coupled with the above properties. Ice Touch
provides cotton like comfort and PV like drape and wears properties.

In short ICE TOUCH is a unique range of fabrics possessing excellent handle, feel and
drape along with extraordinary moisture absorption and evaporation giving a very cool
and icy feeling.

CLEANFAB:-
CLEAN FAB is one of the most recent in-house innovations of Grasim Industries. This
is a functional Polyester Viscose blended fabric in which for the first time dust free and
soil free concept has been introduced. This fabric is ideally suited for the dusty
atmosphere and environment prevalent in most parts of the country for most of the
year.

Generally soiling and soil release is a serious problem when hydrophobic fibres (like
polyester) are blended with cellulosic fibres (like cotton , viscose etc.) since these
hydrophobic fibres attract soil to a greater extent and release the soil less readily
during laundering.

In short CLENFAB is the ultimate product in terms of giving good comfort along with
the soil prevention and easy soil release properties.

UNCRUSHABLES:-
Uncrushables is a low crush fabric, first winter poly-wool fabric with anti-wrinkling
quality to be launched in the industry.

While no fabric is ever 100% wrinkle free, Uncrushables is far superior to other
competitive products with better crease recovery. The fabric is easy to wash and care
of. Meant for the hard and rugged life indoors or outdoors, it is available in 15 colors.
FINESSE:– Fine Fabric for Fine People
One of the most comfortable trousers made out of fine yarn. The fabric has a finer
count which lends itself to luxurious feel and handle. It is ideal for night wear, party
wear and outdoors.

Finesse is very easy to maintain and can be washed easily and carries a very elegant
shape and drape all day long.

The fabric provides greater comfort like cotton and comes in some of the most exotic
colors blue, black, beige, limestone, graphite and grey.

 WORKING CAPITAL AT A GLANCE

 INTRODUCTION
 TYPES
 FEATURES
 DETERMINANTS
 COMPONENTS
 WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE
 INTRODUCTION

A successful sales program is necessary for earning profits by any

business enterprise. Sales don’t convert into cash instantly. There is a time lag between
the sale of goods and receipt of cash.

Therefore, there is a need for working capital in the form of current assets
to deal with the problem arising out of the lack of immediate realization of cash against
goods sold. Therefore sufficient working capital is necessary to sustain sales activity.
Defination of Working Capital:-
 According to C.W. Gestenbergh-

“Working capital is ordinarily defined as the excess of the current assets over
current liabilities”.

 According to Lawrence. J. Gitmen

“The most common defination of working capital is the difference of the

firm’s current assets and current liabilities.”
Defination of working capital management:-
“Working capital management involves the relationship between a firm's short-term
assets and its short-term liabilities. The goal of working capital management is to
ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient ability
to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. The
management of working capital involves managing inventories, accounts receivable
and payable, and cash.” -From WWW.STUDYFINANCE.COM
 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 require managing the
current assets - generally cash and cash equivalents, inventories and debtors. There are
also a variety of short term financing options which are considered.

• Cash management – identify the cash balance which allows for the business to
meet day to day expenses, but reduces cash holding costs
• Inventory management - identify the level of inventory which allows for
uninterrupted production but reduces the investment in raw materials and hence
increases cash flow; see Just In Time (JIT) and Economic order quantity (EOQ).
• Debtors management - identify the appropriate credit policy, i.e. credit terms
which will attract customers, such that any impact on cash flows and the cash
conversion cycle will be offset by increased revenue and hence Return on
Capital (or vice versa); see Discounts and allowances.
• Short term financing - inventory is ideally financed by credit granted by the
supplier; dependent on the cash conversion cycle, it may be necessary to utilize
a bank loan (or overdraft), or to "convert debtors to cash" through "factoring".
 TYPES

Working capital can be classified either on the basis of concept or on

the basis of periodicity of its requirement.

1) ON THE BASIS OF CONCEPT

On the basis of concept working capital is of 2 types.

A) Gross working capital - Gross working capital is represented by the total Current
assets.

Gross working capital = Total current assets

B) Net working capital - Net working capital is the excess of current assets over
current liabilities.

Net working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities

2) ON THE BASIS OF REQUIREMENT

On the basis of requirement working capital is also of 2 types.
A) Permanent working capital - It is that amount of investment which should
always be there in the fixes or minimum current assets like inventory, accounts
receivables or cash balance etc. to carry out business smoothly. Such an amount
cant be reduced if the firms wants to carry on business operations without
interruption.
B) Variable working capital - The excess the amount of working capital over
permanent working capital is known as variable working capital. It may also be
subdivided into two parts.

a) Seasonal working capital - Such capital is required to meet out the

seasonal demands of busy periods occurring at stated intervals.

b) Special working capital - Such capital is required to meet out the extra-

ordinary needs for contingencies. Events like strike, fire, unexpected

competition, rising price tendencies, or initiating a big advertisement
campaign require such capital.
 FEATURES

1) Working capital is regarded as the excess of current assets over current liabilities.

2) Working capital indicates circular flow of funds in the day-to-day activities of

business. That’s why it is also called circulating capital.

3) Working capital represents the minimum amount of investment in raw materials,

work-in progress, finished goods, stores and spares, accounts receivables and cash
balance.
 DETERMINANTS

1) Nature of business – The effect of the general nature of the business on working

capital requirements can’t be exaggerated. Rail, roads and other public utility
services have large fixes investment so they have the lower requirements of
current assets. Industrial and manufacturing enterprises, on the other hand,
generally require a large amount of working capital.
2) Production policies – if the production is evenly spread over the entire year,

working capital requirements are greater, because the inventories will be

unnecessarily accumulated during of season period. But if the production
schedule favours a varying production plan as per the seasonal requirements,
working capital is required to a greater extent during a specified season only. The
production policies are affected by so many factors availability of raw materials,
labour, stocking facility etc & therefore, whatever the productions policies are,
the firm has to arrange its working capital requirements accordingly.
3) Proportion of the cost of raw materials to total cost - In those industries where

cost of proportion is a large proportion of total cost of the goods produced,

reqirements of working capital will be comparatively large.
4) Length of period of manufacturing – The time which elapses between the

commencement and end of the manufacturing process has an important bearing

upon the requirements of working capital. The manufacturing cycle may be
shorter for certain concerns & longer for others- it depends on the type of the
product to be manufactured, work to be done through machine labour & hand
labour, degree of rationalization of manufacturing procedures through times,
motion & fatigue studies etc.
 5) Terms of purchase - If suppliers allow continuous credit, payment can be

postponed for some time and can be made out of the sale proceeds of the goods
produced. In such a case, the requirements of working capital will be reduced.
6) Dynamic Attitudes – As a company grows, it is logical to expect the large

amount of working capital will be required.

7) Business cycles – Requirement of working capital also varies with the business.

When the price level is up due to boom conditions, the inflationary conditions
create demand for more working capital. During depression also a heavy amount
of working capital is needed due to the inventories being locked unsold and book
debts uncollected.
8) Requirement of cash - The working capital requirements of a company are also

influenced by the amount of cash required by it for various purposes. The greater
the requirement of cash, the higher will be the working capital needs of the
company.
9) Dividend policy of concern – If the management follows a conservative dividend

policy the needs of working capital can be met with the retained earnings. The
relationship between dividend policy and working capital is well established and
mostly companies declare dividend after a careful study of their cash
requirements
10) Other Factors - Other factors, which affect the requirement of working capital,
are lack of co-operation in production and distribution policies, transport and
communication facilities, the fiscal and tariff policies of the government etc.
 COMPONENTS

Main components of working capital are as follows:

1) Cash – Cash is the most liquid and important component of working capital.

Holding cash involves cash in the sense that the present worth of cash held for a
year is less than the value of cash on today. During inflationary situations as exist
today the cost of holding includes the deterioration in the value of the cash due to
inflation. Cash, therefore, results in enhanced liquidity, but lower profitability.
Despite in the cost involved it is pertinent to hold cash because it facilitates the
attainment of some important motives.

2) Marketable Securities – Though marketable securities provides a such lower

yield that the firm’s operation assets. They serve two useful functions. Firstly,
they act as a substitute for cash, and secondly, are used as temporary investment.
Where these securities are held in lieu of the cash balance, they act as a substitute
for transactional or precautionary balances. Normally, these aren’t used as
speculative balances, but only as a guard against the possible shortage of bank
credit.
Marketable securities (as temporary investment) may be held for one of the
following reasons:

• Seasonal or cyclical operations

• To meet known financial requirements. Construction of an additional plant.
• Immediately after the sale of long-term securities.

3) Account Receivable - Though accounts receivable are a vital investment of any

business organization, little analytical work as been done to determine credit

policies. Maintaining account receivable has its cost implications in that the
 firm’s monetary resources are tied up. This is of greater significance in the
inflationary economy, because of the depreciation in the value of money.
Basically, this is a two-step account. When goods are shipped, inventories are
reduced and accounts receivable is created. When payment is made, this account
is reduced and the cash level increases. Accounts receivables are, therefore a
function of the volume of credit sales and the average length of time between
sales and collections.

4) Inventory – Inventories represent a substantial amount of a firm’s current assets.

Management of inventories should be efficiently carried out so that this

investment doesn’t become too large, as it would result in blocked capital which
could put to productive use elsewhere. On the other hand, having too small an
inventory could result in loss of sale or loss of customer goodwill. An optimum
level of inventory should therefore be maintained.

WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE

 Working capital cycle indicates the length of time between a firm’s
paying for materials entering into stock and receiving the cash from sale of finished
goods. In a manufacturing firm, the duration of time required to complete the sequence
of events is called operating cycle.

In case of a manufacturing company, the operating cycle is the length of

time necessary to complete the following cycle of events: -

1) Conversion of cash into raw materials

2) Conversion of raw materials into work-in-progress
3) Conversion of work-in-progress into finished goods
4) Conversion of finished goods into accounts receivable
5) Conversion of accounts receivable into cash

The above operating cycle is repeated again & again over the period depending upon
the nature of the business & type of product etc. the duration of the operating cycle for
the purpose of estimating working capital is equal to the sum of duration allowed by
the suppliers.
Working capital cycle can be expressed as: R+W+F+D-C
Where R=Raw Material Storage Period = Avg. Stock of Raw
Material / Avg. Cost of Production per day

W=Work in Progress Holding Period = Avg. Work in Progress

Inventory /Avg. Cost of Production per day
 F=Finished Goods Storage Period = Avg. Stock of Finished
Goods / Avg. Cost of Goods Sold per day

D=Debtors Collection Period = Avg. Book Debts/

Avg. Credit Sales per day

C=Credit Period Availed = Avg. Trade Creditors/Avg.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

NATURE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Working capital management is three dimensional in nature-

1) It is concerned with the formulation of policies with regard to profitability, liquidity

and risk.

2) It is concerned with the decisions about the composition and level of current assets.

3) It is concerned with the decisions about the composition and level of current
liabilities.

 GOAL OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Working capital management is concerned with the problems that arise in

attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the interrelationship
that exists between them.

The term current assets refer to those assets which is the ordinary course
of business can be converted into cash within one year. Major current assets are cash,
marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory.

Current liabilities are those liabilities, which are intended, at their

inception, to be paid in the ordinary course of business within a year, out of the current
assets or earnings of the concern. Current liabilities are accounts payable, bills payable,
bank overdraft, and outstanding expenses.Working capital is that portion of firm’s
assets which is financed by long-term funds.
Interaction between current assets and current liabilities is the main theme
of the theory of working capital management.
Goal of working capital management is to manage the firm’s current assets and
liabilities in such a way so that a satisfactory level of working capital is
maintained.
The second important segment of working capital management is deciding the
optimum level of investment in various current assets. There are three important
current assets cash, accounts receivables and inventory
 RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

The term receivable is defined as “debt owed to the firm by customers

arising from sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business”. When a firm
makes an ordinary sale of goods or services and doesn’t receive payment, the firm
grants trade credit accounts receivable, which could be collected in the future.
Receivables Management is also called trade credit management.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of receivables management is “to promote sales and

profits until that point is reached where the return on investment in further funding
receivables is less than the cost of funds raised to finance that additional credit”.

BENEFITS

Investments in receivables involve both benefits and costs. The extension

of trade credit has a major impact on sales, costs and profitability. Other things being
equal, a relatively liberal policy and, therefore, higher investments in receivables, will
produce larger sales. However, costs will be higher with liberal policies than with more
stringent measures.
Therefore, accounts receivables management should aim at a trade-off
between profit (benefit) and risk (cost).
 CREDIT POLICY

The credit policy of a firm provides the framework to determine:

1) Credit standards
2) Credit terms
3) Credit Analysis

Credit Standard

The term credit standards represent the basic criteria for the extension of
credit to those customers to whom goods could be sold on credit. If a firm has more
slow-paying customers, its investment in accounts receivables will increase. The firm
will also be exposed to higher risk of default.

Credit Terms
Credit terms specify duration of credit and terms of payment by
customers. Investment in accounts receivables will be high if customers are allowed
extended time period for making payments.

Credit Analysis
Credit analysis and investigation is an aspect of credit policies of a firm.
Two basic steps are involved in the credit investigation process:
Obtaining credit information
B. Analysis of credit information
It is on the basis of credit analysis that the decisions to grant credit to a
customers as well as the quantum of credit would be taken.
 INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Inventories constitute the principal item in the working capital of the

majority of trading and industrial companies. In inventory we include raw
materials, finished goods, work-in-progress, supplies and other accessories. To
maintain the continuity in the operations of business enterprises, a minimum stock
of inventory is required.

Management of inventory is designed to regulate the volume of investment in

goods on hand and the types of goods carried in stock to meet the needs of production
and sales while at the same time, the investment in them is to be kept at a reasonable
level.
 CONCEPT

The inventory management” is used in two ways- Unit Control and Value
Control. Production and purchase officials use this word in term of unit control
whereas in accounting this word is used in term of value control .Investment in
inventory is one the largest asset item of business enterprises particularly those
engaged in manufacturing.

The proper management and control of the capital invested in the

inventory should be the prime responsibility of accounting department because
resources invested in inventory aren’t earning a return for the company. Rather, on the
other hand, they are costing the firm money both in terms of capital costs being
incurred and loss of opportunity income that is being foregone.
 OBJECTIVES

The basic managerial objectives of inventory control are two-

1) The avoidance of over-investment or under-investment in inventories.

2) To provide the right quantity of standard raw material to the production department
at the right time.
 TECHNIQUES OF INVENTORY CONTROL

1) The Selective Inventory Control or ABC System of Control

2) Maximum Stock Limit
3) Minimum Stock Limit
4) Re-ordering Level
5) Economic Order Quantity

ABC System of Control

The various inventory items are, according to this system, categorized into three
classes-
I. A
II. B
III. C

The item included in-group involve the largest investment. Therefore,

inventory control should be the most rigorous and intensive and the most
sophisticated inventory control techniques should be applied to these items. The C
group consists of items of inventory which involve relatively small investments
although the numbers of items is fairly large. These items deserve minimum
attention. The B group stands midway. It deserves less attention than A but more
than C. It can be controlled by employing less sophisticated techniques.
Maximum Stock Limit

This represents the quantity if inventory above which it should not be allowed to be
kept. The following formula may be applied to calculate the maximum stock-

Maximum Stock = Reorder Level – Minimum Consumption during

Minimum Lead Time + Lot Size.

Minimum Stock Limit

This represents the quantity below which stock should not be allowed to fall.
The main purpose of this level is to ensure that production isn’t held up due to
storage of any material.

Minimum Stock Limit = Re-order Level – Normal storage during Lead Time

Re- Ordering Level

It is the point at which if stock of the material in store reaches, the

storekeeper should initiate the purchase requisition for fresh supplies of the material.
This level is fixed somewhere between the maximum and minimum levels in such a
way that the difference of quantity of the material between the reordering level and the
minimum level will be sufficient to meet requirements of production upto the time of
fresh supply of the material.

The reorder point = Lead time in days * Average daily usage of inventory
Economic Order Quantity

It is the quantity of inventory, which can be reasonably ordered at a time

and purchased economically. It is also known as Standard Order Quantity or Economic
Lot Size. By definition “Economic Order Quantity is that size or order at which the
total cost of ordering and holding are the minimum.

In determining the economic order quantity the problem is one to set a

balance between two opposing costs, namely, namely ordering costs and carrying
costs. The ordering costs are basically the costs of getting an item into the firm’s
inventory.

Carrying costs, sometimes also known as holding costs are the costs of
possessing the materials. These costs are combined known as “Associated Costs”.

Hence, the management tries to reconcile them and this reconciliation

point is economic order quantity.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 To study the various proportions of working capital of Grasim industries.

 To find out different ratios related with working capital.

 To check the impact of cash flows on working capital of Grasim industries.

 To know the current trend of Assets and Liabilities.

 METHODS OF WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS

There are so many methods for analysis of financial statements but BHIWANI
TEXTILE MILL used the following techniques:-

 Comparative size statements

 Trend analysis
 Cash flow statement
 Ratio analysis
A detail description of these methods is as follows:-

COMPARATIVE SIZE STATEMENTS:-

When two or more than two years figures are compared to each other than we called
comparative size statements in order to estimate the future progress of the business,it is
necessary to look the past performance of the company.These statements show the
absolute figures and also show the change from one year to another .

Benefits of this method to the BTM:-

 To indicate the trends,these statements show the change in production, sales, and
expenses.
 To make the data simple and more understandable.

TREND ANALYSIS:-
To analyse many years financial statements BTM uses this method.This indicates the
direction on movement over the long time and help in the financial statements.
Procedure for calculating trends:-

1. Previous year is taken as a base year.

2. Figures of the base year are taken 100.
3. Trend % are calculated in relation to base year.

Benefits :-

 It is beneficial to find out the long run changes .

 It is helpful in future forecasting.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT:-

Cash flow statements are the statements of changes in the financial position prepared
on the basis of funds defined in cash or cash equivalents. In short cash flow statement
summaries the cash inflows and outflows of the firm during a particular period of time.

Benefits for the BTM:-

 To prepare the cash budget.

 To compare the cash budgets .
 To show the position of the cash and cash equivalents.

RATIO ANALYSIS:-

Ratio analysis is the process of the determining and presenting the relationship of the
items and group of items in the statements .According to Batty j. management
accounting “Ratio can assists management in its basics functions of forecasting
,planning,coordination,control and communication”.

Benefits of ratio analysis to BTM:-

1. Helpful in analysis of financial statements.
2. Helpful in comparitive study.
3. Helpful in locating the weak spots of the BTM.

4. Helpful in forecasting.
5. Estimate about the trend of the business.
6. Fixation of ideal standards.
7. Effective control.
8. Study of financial soundness.

Types of ratio:-

 Liquidity ratio: They indicates the firms ability to meet its current obligation

out of current resources.

• Current ratio:- Current assets / Current liabilities

• Quick ratio:- Liquid assets / Current liabilities
Liquid assets =Current assets – Stock -Prepaid expenses

 Leverage or Capital structure ratio: This ratio discloses the firms ability to

meet the interest costs regularly and long term solvency of the firm.

• Debt equity ratio:- Long term loans / Shareholders funds or net

 Worth

• Debt to total fund ratio:- Long terms loans/ share holder funds
+long term loan

• Proprietary ratio:- Shareholders fund/ shareholders fund+long

term loan

 Activity ratio or Turnover ratio:- They indicate the rapidity with which the

resources available to the concern are being used to produce sales.

• Stock turnover ratio:- Cost of good sold/Average stock

( cost of good sold= Net sales/ Gross profit,
Average stock=Opening stock+closing stock/2)

• Debtors turnover ratio:- Net credit sales/ Average debtors

+Average B/R

• Average collection period:- Debtors+B/R /Credit sales perday

( Credit sales per day=Net credit sales of the year/365)

• Creditors Turnover Ratio:- Net credit purchases/ Average

Creditors + Average B/P
• Average Payment Period :- Creditors + B/P/ Credit purchase
Per day
 • Fixed Assets Turnover ratio:- Cost of goods sold/Net fixed
Assets

( Net Fixed Assets = Fixed Assets – depreciation)

• Working Capital Turnover Ratio:- Cost of goods sold/
Working Capital
(working capital= current assets – current liability)

 Profitability Ratios or Income ratios:- The main objective of every business

concern is to earn profits. A business must be able to earn adequate profit in

relation to the risk and capital invested in it.

• Gross profit ratio:- Gross profit / Net Sales * 100

(Net sales= Sales – Sales return)

• Net profit Ratio:- Net profit / Net sales * 100

(Operating Net Profit= operating net profit/ Net Sales *100 or
operating Net profit= gross profit – operating expenses)

• Operating Ratio :- Cost of goods sold + Operating expenses/

Net Sales * 100
(Cost of goods sold = Net Sales – Gross profit ,
Operating expenses = office & administration expenses + Selling
& distribution expenses + discount + bad debts + interest on short
term loans)
• Earning per share(E.P.S.) :- Net Profit – dividend on preference
share / No. of equity shares
• Dividend per share(D.P.S.) :- Dividend paid to equity share
Holders / No. of equity shares *100.

• Dividend Payout ratio(D.P.) :- D.P.S. / E.P.S. *100
