 Issues
 The working capital policy is the firm’s policy about its working
capital level and how its working capital should be financed…
decisions about how much to keep in its cash account, what
level of inventory to maintain, and how much to allow
receivables to build up” (Danh, 1999)
 New Zealand Department of Treasury (2007) concluded that
operating with more working capital than is necessary leads to
over-investment which represents an unnecessary cost
 Vijaykumar and Venkatachalam (1995) concluded that liquidity
was negatively associated with profitability
 Shin and Soeven (1998) and Koperunthevi (2010) found a
negative relationship between cash conversion cycle and
profitability
 Koperunthevi (2010) concluded that the working capital
management very much influences profitability of
manufacturing companies and increase in the cash conversion
cycle leads to less profitability. www.themegallery.com LOGO

 Variables
 Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Profit/ Total Assets
 Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Profit/ Total Equity
 Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
 Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current
Liabilities
 Accounts Receivable Period (ARP) = (Accounts
Receivable x 365) / Sales
 Inventories Turnover Period (ITP) = (Inventories x 365) /
Cost of Goods Sold
 Account Payable Period (APP) = (Accounts Payable x
365) / Cost of Goods Sold
 Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) = (ITP + ARP – APP)
 Debt Ratio (DR) = Total Debt/ Total Assets
 Size of the Firm = ln (Total Sales) www.themegallery.com LOGO
