WORKING CAPITAL
ADVANTAGES
FINDINGS
BIBLIOGRAPHY
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
Every business needs funds for its establishment and to carry out its day-to-day
operations. Long-term funds are required to create production facilities through purchase
of fixed assets such as plant and machinery, land Building, furniture etc. Investment in
these assets represents that part of firm's capital which is blocked on A permanent or
fixed basis and is called fixed capital. Funds are also needed for short-term purpose for
the purchase of raw materials, payment of wages and other day-to-day expenses etc.
these funds are known as Working capital.
"Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost of operating
the enterprises."
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
In the broad sense, the term working capital refers to the gross working capital and
represents the amount of funds invested in current assets.
Thus, the gross working capital is the capital invested in total current assets of the
enterprise.
Current assets are those assets which are in the ordinary course of business can be
converted in to cash with in the short period of time normally one accounting year.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
2) Bills Receivables.
3) Sundry debtors.
Raw materials,
Work in process
Finished goods.
7) Accrued incomes.
In narrow sense, the term working capital refers to the net working capital. Net working
capital is the excess of Current assets over current liabilities, or say:
When the current assets exceed the current liabilities the working capital is positive and
the negative working capital results when the current liabilities are more than the current
assets.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
5) Dividends Payable.
The gross concept is some times preferred to the net concept of working capital for
the following reason:
It enables the enterprise to provided correct amount of working capital at the right
time.
Every management is more interested in the total current assets with which it has to
operate than the sources from where it is made available.
The gross concept takes in to consideration the fact that every increase in the funds of
the enterprise would increase its working capital.
The gross concept of working capital is more useful in determining the rate of
return on investments in working capital.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
The net working capital concept, however, is also important for the following
reason:
It is the qualitative concept which indicates the firm's ability to meet its operating
expenses and short term liabilities.
It indicates the margine of protection available to the short term creditors, i.e., the
excess of current assets over current liabilities.
it suggests the need for financing a part of the working capital requirements out of
the permanent sources of funds.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
They have a short life span. Cash balances are held only for a week, so accounts
receivables typically are held for a duration of 30-60 days and inventory may be held for
30-100 days.
They are rapidly transformed in to other assets form. Cash is utilized to purchase raw
material. Raw material is converted to work in progress which is converted to finished
goods. Finished good are sold for cash or credit, which creates accounts receivables are
finally realised in to cash.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
Since the various components of working capital closely interact with each other,
Decision pertaining to one component must be taken after given consideration to the
effect on other components.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
This is one of the primary factors influencing the working capital requirements of a
firm .For instance, a service firm like a hotel has a short operating cycle since it sells
mostly on a cash basis and has lower working capital requirement. A manufacturing
firm, on the other hand, has a longer operating cycle and invests more in its current
assets. It thus has greater working capital requirement.
Seasonality of operations :-
Some firms’ products sell only during particular seasons. For instance, air conditioners
sell more during the summer than in the winter. Such firms have greater working capital
requirement during peak time.
.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
Seasons and lower requirements during other seasons. Firms whose sales are not affected
by seasons have stable working capital requirement.
Market condition :-
The level of competition existing in market also influences working capital requirement.
When competition is high, the company should have enough inventories of finished
goods to meet a certain level of demand. Otherwise customers are highly likely to switch
over the competitor's products.
Supply condition :-
If supply of raw material and spares is timely and adequate, the firm can get by
comparatively low inventory level. If supply is scarce and unpredictable or available
during particular season, the firm will have to obtain raw material when it is available.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
It refers to the minimum amount of the investment which should always be there is the
fixed or minimum current assets such as cash and bank balance , debtors, and other
short- term assets i.e. inventory etc .in order to carry out business smoothly. This
investment is a regular type permanent working capital also increases.
Tondon committee reffered to working capital the following characteristics –
Unlike fixed assets, it keeps on changing its from one assets to another
It can not be reduced substantially as long as the firm is going concern.
With the growth of the business, the size of this component of working capital also
increases. This hard core working capital is very important from finance point of view. It
should be financed from long term sources of fund .for this purpose besides ploughing
back of profits, shares and debentures can be issued to raise necessary funds.
The amount of temporary this hard core working capital identification is working capital
keeps on fluctuating from time to time on the business activities. It may be divided in to
two parts i.e. seasonal and special working capital. Seasonal working capital is required
to meet the seasonal demand d of busy period or season occurring at stipulated intervals.
Required to meet extra ordinary needs for contingencies such as rising prices, fire strikes
unexpected competition or big advertisement campaign.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
3) To incur day to day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel, power and
office expenses. Etc.
Every business undertaking requires funds for two purposes: investment in fixed assets
and investment in current assets. Funds required to invest in stock, debtors and current
assets keep on changing shape and volume.
For example, a company has some cash in the beginning. The cash may be paid to the
suppliers of raw materials, to meet labor costs and other overheads. These three
combined would generate work in progress which will be converted into finished goods
on the completion of the production process on sale, these finished goods get converted
in to debtors and when debtors pay, the firm will again have cash. This cash will again be
used for financing raw material, work- in- progress, finished goods, debtors and finally
again cash. This time period is known as the working capital cycle of the firm.

The basic objective of working capital management is to manage the firm's current assets
and liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained i.e.,
it is neither excessive not inadequate. In other words, it must have an optimum size.
Thus we can say that working capital management has these objective :
As a matter of the fact, a business can not survive in the absence of a satisfactory ratio
between its current assets and current liabilities further more its ability to prosper will
largely be determined by the composition of the current assets tools.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
2) Finding out the optimum level of investment in various current, namely cash,
account receivable, and stocks. In other words, determining the size of working
capital.
3) Finding out the optimum mix of short – term funds in relation to long – term
capital.
Inventory management:-
Inventory is the one of the most important component of working capital and its proper
management can not be under stressed. Fundamentally, inventory consists of raw
material, work in progress and finished goods. The proportion of inventories to fixed
assets is quite high ranging from 25% to 45% in the manufacturing sector.
Account receivable:-
This is also a forms an important part of working capital and depends on the credit
policy adopted by the firm namely.
CASH MANAGEMENT:-
This as mentioned is the most liquid of all assets and is required to
Too much cash is not good nor is having too little a healthy practices. Good companies
usually have a practices to plant surplus cash in risk free securities or inter company
deposits. On the other hand, companies with a deficit tend to borrow at a high rate of
interest indicating a lack of planning. A sudden surge in business may spur the need of
working capital and its may also require additional interest to be paid and again planning
is important.
The key to all management and especially working capital management is to plan work.
This also important aspect of working capital management and good companies have the
practice of planning their needs well in advance.
RADICO KHAITAN LTD.
No business can run successfully without an adequate amount of working capital. The
main advantages of maintaining adequate amount of working capital are as follows:
Easy loans : A concern having adequate working capital , high solvency and good
credit standing can arrange loans from banks and others on easy and favorable
terms.
Cash discount : Adequate working capital also enables a concern to avail cash in
purchase and hence it reduces cost.
FINDINGS
Funding with in the company for regular expances has to be properly taken care off.
