INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. NATURE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY. METHODOLOGY. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY.

INTRODUCTION Working capital management is significant in financial management. It plays a vital role in keeping the wheel of the business running. Every business requires capital ,without it cant be promoted. Investment decisions is concerned with investment in current assets and fixed assets .working capital plays a key role in a business enterprise just as the role of heart in human body . it acts as grease to run the wheels of fixed assets .its effective provision can ensure the success of business while its inefficient management can lead not only to loss but also to the ultimate downfall of what otherwise might be considered as a promising concern . Efficiency of a business enterprise depends largely on its ability to its working capital .working capital management is one of the important facts of affirms overall financial management For increasing shareholders wealth a firm has to analyze the effect of fixed assets and current assets on its return and risk.working capital management of current assets . the management of current assets on the basis of the following points: 1. current assets are for short period while fixed assets are for more than one year 2. The large holding of current assets ,especially cash, strengthens liquidity position but also reduce overall profitability ,and to maintain an optimal level of liquidity and profitability , risk return trade off is involved holding current assets 3. Only current assets can be adjusted with sales fluctuating in the short run. thus the firm has greater degree of flexibility in managing current assets. The management of current assets help affirm in building a good market reputation regarding its business and economic conditions. Now first let us discuss the paradigms of working capital management.

CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL:


The concept of working capital includes current assets and current liabilities both. There are two of working capital of working capital they are gross and net working capital. 1.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 an accounting year or operating cycle. It includes cash, short term securities ,debtors (account receivables or book debts),bills receivables and stock (inventory). 2.Net working capital: net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected to mature for payment within an accounting year. It includes creditors or accounts payables bills payable and outstanding expenses. Net working copulate can be positive or negative. A positive working capital will arise when current assets exceed current liabilities and vice versa.

NATURE OF WORKING CAPITAL Working capital management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets ,the current liabilities and the inter relationship that exists between them. The term current refers to those assets which in the ordinary course of business can be ,or will be converted into cash within one year without undergoing a diminution in value and without disrupting the operation of the firm. the major current assets are cash, marketable securities, accounts receivables 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 or the earning of the concern .The basic current liabilities are accounts payable ,bills payable ,bank overdrafts and outstanding expense. The goal of working management is to manage the firms assets and liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintain. This is because if the firms cannot maintain a satisfactory level of working capital ,it is likely to become insolvent and may even be forced into bankruptcy. The current assets should be large enough to cover its current liabilities in order to ensure a reasonable margin of safety. Each of the short term source of financing must be continuously managed to ensure that they are obtained and used in the way. Interaction between current liabilities is ,therefore the main theme of the of management of working capital.

METHODOLOGY

CHAPTER -2

INDUSTRY PROFILE COMPANY PROFILE

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Oils have come to play vital role in the economy of our country .These oils not only for human diet but also provide essential raw materials for industries products like soaps, paints ,varnishes and lubricants .there are many reasons for ever growth demand for oils. The main reason is due to various factors such as increase in population, rapid industrialization of the country and improved standard of living with the recent liberalization of licensing and trade control policies of the government ,there is going to be further increase in the demand for oils human consumption and industries purpose now a days india has been facing the problem of shortage and raises in the price of oils. It is the burning problem from the 20 years . the situation is due to the production of major oil seeds ground nut, mustered ,sesame, sun flower ,soybean and linseed & caster seed. The presently available sources of oil in india can be divided as follows. 1. perennial oil seed plant like coconut and palm. 2.Annual oil seed like groundnut , rapeseed, sesame, Niger, sunflower, soybean caster and linseed are non edible types. 3.minor oil seeds, like sal, neem, karanja, kusum, maharaj etc. 4.oils obtained through technological process such as extraction from rice bran, cotton seeds. We are at present tapping about 25% to 30% of the available potential for production in all the above sources .All these various oil seeds have different yields of oil per unit area, depending in their oil content and yields of oil seeds per unit area. The following table gives the average yields of oils per unit area for various oil seeds.B?

Average oil

In India most of the production comes from rainfall areas, and hence there are wide fluctuation in production owing to monsoons progress in the evaluation and introduction of high yielding hybrid varieties are poor when compared to rice and cotton etc. owing to these factors ,yield projector is very low. In these circumstances oil seeds production has to be stepped up and self efficiency should be achieved as early as possible hence our goal is to achieve self sufficiency in the production of the oils with in the shortest possible span of time.

ROLE OF CO-OPERATIVE SECTOR:Co- operator is assisted by N.C.D.C and N.D.D.B having oil seed producer as their members have been supporting co-operative endeavour in integrated development, storage and marketing. the approach adopted b then is comprehensive enough to associated oil seed growers co-operated at the gross root level with oil seed producers as the participants and beneficiaries it is important that the formers who are actually engaged in production of oil seeds are associated with any strategies adopted for segment action oil seeds through co operatives .there action involvement would entire then to give further inputs for production of oils.

IMPORTANCE THE RODUCT Non trading oil an lay an important part an important part in the achievement of oil self-sufficient in our country cotton seed has already established it self as an important oil source .rice bran is fast catching up with cotton seed. rice bran is fast catching up seed rice bran has great potential in the future. the minor oil seeds of free origin are slowly gaining importance mainly because of their low cost. If the policy makers can encourage at even force to the industries to exploit the vast qualities of minor seeds the edible in wild as non edible industries)oil demand can e satisfactory.

OIL FROM BY PRODUCTS OF OTHER INDUSTRIES:There are several by products of various agro based industries which and can be utilized to obtain oil either industries or edible purpose cotton seed, grossed nut cake rice bran are presently the important sources

ABOUT THE PRODUCT RICE BRAN OIL:The spectra of scarcity if oils has been hunting our national economy in deferent every since the beginning of seventies lastly since 1977 huge be ports of oils have become a necessity to arrest the raise in price and met the demand and supply gap by spending huge foreign exchange to crude oil. The crisis has become the more serious on account of standard in the production of traditional oil seeds mainly ground nut and mustard on one hand and ineffective utilization of the vast of resources of oil which can available by taping rice bran and minor oil seed of origin and not adopting a concrete national policy has made the crisis serious. In fact the rice bran oil can argument substantial quality of oil in the country like many Asain countries including Japan Hermans thus land where rice bran oil came to stay as a cooking medium and also for industrial purpose.

In view of the growing demand for oils and for cattle feed ,the importance of the solvent extraction industry is very significant and it plays a very import role in Indian economy .the present growth rate of industry is around 5%. The inflation rate of general goods is above 20%.it is surprised that in case of oils the inflation is above 30%.there is still a danger in as government has no other growth expert to resort to fix the inflationary to be standard price in order to fill reservoir of resources to meet the budget. Many learned and eminent industries ,technologist and manufactures about manufactures about modernization of rice bran .processing to producer quality with low concern by installing stabilizers of three or four varieties and to extract oil with 10%to15%suitable for industries purpose by refining scope of exploitation of complete bran available in Indian for production of bran oil , problem formed by rice mills ,solvent extraction industries types of stabilizer to install to control T.T.A .rice bran is problem in refining the bran oil like maxell eimming dewoding neutralization bleaching and deodorization and physical refining etc. In view of the growing demand for oils and for cattle feed, the importance of the solvent extraction industry is very significant and it plays a very import role in Indian company .the present growth rate of industry is around 5%. Previously the oils obtained by solvent extraction are used in the manufacture of soaps ,detergents but with the recount development in technology and solvent extraction plants are able to produce edible grade oils . which the fit for refining in order produce refined cooling grade oils ,which is a source commodity in India .thus this industry has major role to pay in Indias oil trade. The activities of the industry are monitored by the solvent extractors moderation of India, located at Mumbai .

In 1993 the company took an expansion and diversion programme in a phase manner by obtaining the financial assistance from IDBI. In 1993 it took loan of Rs 410 lakhs to part finance its 30 TPD chemical refinery and 20 TPD fatty acid plant in 1994. In the year 1995 the company went for further expansion and diversification it took rs.350 lakhs from IDBI and increased capacity from 30 TPD to 50 TPD. The company is banking with state bank of india. Peddapuram branch since inception and it presently enjoying working capital fund based limit of Rs 50 lakhs. The company is maintaining good financial relation with different finance institutions. Which are extending loan facility. The repayment of loans is made in time. Dealing with financial institution and banks as on 31st august, 1997 is given in the following table.

PERFORMANCE:The company is regular in both earning the profit and declaring the dividend to its share holder. The turnover in 1992-93 and 1995-96 were low due to reason that unit under took job works for ITC limited and Essar Gujarat limited. The turn over started increasing from 1996-97 on words due to diversification of the activities in a phased manner. The company could not show a net profit in 1998-99 as it changed the method of depreciation from straight line method to written down value method. Due to availability of surplus in profit and loss account the company declared dividend of 15% on its equity on proportionate basis. RAW MATERIALS:The main raw material of this unit is rice bran oil. The unit requires a quality of 150 Mt .of rice oil per day and 100 Mt of rice bran oil per day. The company is located in the center of east Godavari district surrounded by huge number of rice mills. Since the company is 15 years old it established a strong net work for procurement of rice bran. The required rice bran is produced through urgently brokers who collect rice bran from mills at the price indicated by the company depending on the marketing fluctuation. The company has 30 bran agents in Godavari district, srikakulam and southern Orissa. Out of the 100Mt of rice bran oil around 15tones per day available from the solvent extraction plant of the company. The chemical such as nickel catalyst caustic soda, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid bleaching earth etc . Are available in the required capacities to run the plan at envisaged capacities .

THE RAW MATERIALS:PRODUCTION PROFILE The raw material for solvent extraction for is rice bran . there are two verities of rice bran. 1. Raw rice bran. 2. Boiled rice bran. The oil content is raw rice bran is 16% and increase as boiled rice bran is 19% the purchase price of rice bran fixed on the basis of oil content According if oil content is less than 16% the price will be reduced proportionately and if oil content is more than 16% a premium will be paid proportionately similarly in the case of boiled rice bran rebate of premium is considered on the basis of 19% oil content . The bran is usually produced through agents appointed by company or directly from the rice mills . the bran after is tested in the laboratory for its content and FFA (free fatty acids) . based on this laboratory results the payment will be mode. In the case of boiled bran the F.F.A content in it will be around 4% to 7% if it is processed with in 3 days from the day of production by the rice mills. By F.F.A content in rice bran increased to maximum 60% if they are stored beyond 10 days . the advantage of low F.F oil (I.e. 4% to 5%) is that it can be used for manufactures of refined rice bran oil.

The sweet water obtain at the splitting tower contain glycerine heating process in the glycerine refine unit refines the crude glycerine. The refines glycerine of 90% purity is the stored in drums for sale.

DESCRIPTION:The rice bran received from various rice millers is first fed into a Pelletier machine to convent the bran, Which is in powder from into pellets. These pellets which are run through a pellet cooler to reduce the heat in the pellets. These pellets are fed into the extraction conveyor through conveyors. The extraction bed hexane is poured on to the bran pellets. The hexane while passing through the bran pellets, absorbs the oil content in the bran. This mixture of oil and hexane is called miscella. The hexane in oil is then separated by condensation process. The oil thus obtain is stored in storage tanks for sale or for further use in other plants. The de-oiled bran . Which still contains traces of hexane, is run through direct to aster to recover the hexane . The de-oiled bran (DOB) which is free from hexane is bagged for sale. The hexane recovered by condensation process is recalculated for use in the extraction bed.

Chapter-3
o THEORETICAL FRAME
WORK OF WORKING CAPITAL

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMANT THEORY MEANING AND DEFINATION: A part from investment in fixed assets , every enterprise has to arrange for adequate funds for meeting day (operations) expenses to kept it a concern. So originally speaking working capital refers to the flow funds , necessary for working of enterprise however these is no agreement among the financial experts regarding the meaning of working capital. They define working capital in the following ways.

ACCORDING TO MEAD MALLOT: Working capital means current assets.

ACCORDING TO WESTON AND BRIGHAM: working capital refers to a firm investment in short term assets, cash, short term securities, accounts receivable and inventories.

CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL:There are 2 concepts of working capital : gross and net. The term gross working capital also referred to as a working capital, means the total current assets. The term net working capital can be defined in 2 ways. 1. The most common definition of net working capital is the different between current assets and current liabilities 2. Alternate definition of net working capital is that portion of current assets which is financed with long term funds. The task of the financial manager in managing working capital efficiency is to ensure sufficient liquidity in the operation of the enterprise. The liquidity of a business firm is measured by its ability to satisfy short term obligations as they become due. The three basics measure of a firms overall liquidity are 1. The acid test ratio 2. The net working capital 3. The current ratio In brief , they are useful in inter firm comparison of liquidity . net working capital as a measure of liquidity, is not very useful for comparing the performance of different firms, but it is quite useful for internal control. The net working capital helps in comparing the same firm over time.

NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL:In order earn sufficient profits, a firm has to depend on its sales activities apart from others. We know that sales are not analysis converted into cash immediately. i.e, there is a time lack between the sale of a product and the realization of cash so, an adequate amount of working capital is required by a firm in the form of different current assets for its activities to continue un interrupted and to tackle the problem that may arise because of the time lay. Practically this happens simply owing to the operating cycle(or) cash cycle, involves the following steps. (a) Conversion of cash into inventory. (b) Conversion of inventory into receivables. (c) Conversion of receivables into cash.

NATURE OF WORKING CAPITAL:The term working capital refers to current assets which may be defined as (1) Those which are convertible in to cash or equivalents with in a period of one year and (2) Those which are required to meet day operations. This fixed assets as well as current assets, both required investment of funds. So, the management of working capital and of fixed assets, appearently seen to involve same type of consideration but it is not so. The management of capital involves different concepts and methodology than the techniques used in fixed assets management. The reason for this different is obvious. The very basics of fixed assets decision process (i.e the capital budgeting ) and the working capital decision process are different. The fixed assets involve long period perspective and therefore, the concept of time value of money is applied where as in working capital the time horizon is limited, in general, to one year only and the time value of money concept is not considered. The fixed assets the long term profitability of the while the current assets affect the short term liquidity position. Managing current assets may require more attention than managing fixed assets. The financial manager must.

Therefore continuously monitor the assets to ensure that the desire levels are being maintained. Since the amount of money invested in current assets can change rapidly. So does the financing required. Mis management of current assets can be costly. Too large an investment in current means tying up funds that can be productively used else where (or it means added interest cost if the firm has borrowed funds to finance the investment in current assets). Excess investment may also expose the firm to undue risk eg. In case, the inventory cannot be sold or the receivable cannot be collected. On the other hand, too little investment also can be expensive for ex:insufficient inventory may mean that sales are lost as the goods which a customer wants are not available. The results is that financial managers spend a large chunk of their time managing the current assets because level of these assets changes quickly and a lack of attention paid to them may result in appreciably lower profits for firm. So, in the working capital management, a financial manager is faced with a decisions involving some consideration as follows:

1. what should be the total investment in working capital of the firm? 2. What should be the level of individual current assets? 3. What should be the relative proportion of different sources to financial the working capital requirements? Thus the working capital management may be defined as the management of firms sources and uses of working capital in order to maximize the wealth of the share holders. The proper working capital management requires both the medium term planning (say up to 3 years) and the immediate to changes arising due to fluctuation in operating levels of the firm.

THE OPERTING CYCLE AND THE WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS:The working capital requirement of a firm depends, to a great extent up on the operating cycle of the firm. The operating cycle may defined as the duration from the procurement of goods or raw materials and ending with sales realization. The length and nature of the operating cycle may differ from one firm to another depending up or the size and nature of the firm.

In a treading concern there is a serious of activities starting from procurement of goods ending with realization of sales revenue. Similarly in case manufacturing concern . This serious start form procurement of raw material and ending with the sales realization of finished foods. In both the cases however there is a time gap between the happening of the first event and the happening of last event . this time gap is called operating cycle. Thus the operating cycle of a firm consists of time required for the completion of chronological sequence of some or all of the following. 1. Procurement of raw material and services 2. Conversion of raw material in the work in progress. 3. Conversion of work in progress in to finished goods. 4. Sales of finished goods. (cash or credit). 5. Conversion of receivable into cash. The firm is after required to extend credit facilities to customers. The finished goods must be kept in store to take care of the orders and minimum cash balance must be maintained. It must also have minimum of raw material to have smooth and uninterrupted production process. So in order to have a proper and smooth running of the business activities, the firm must make investment in all these current assets. This requirement of funds depend up on the operating cycle period of the fiem and also denoted as the working capital needs of the firm.

OPERATING CYCLE PERIOD:The length or time duration of the operating cycle of any firm can be defined as the sum of its inventory conversion period and the receivable conversion period. (1)INVENTORY CONVERSION PERIOD:It is the time required for the conversion of raw material in to finished goods sales. In a manufacturing concern the ICP is consisting of raw materials conversion period(RMCP), work in progress conversion period (WPCP), and the finished goods conversion period (FGCP). The RMCP refers to the period for which the raw material is generally kept in store before is issued to the production department. The WPCP refers to the period for which the raw material remain in the production process before it is taken out as a finished unit. The FGCP refers to the period for which finished units remain in stores before being sold to the customers. (3) RECEIVABLES CONVERSION PERIOD: (RCP) It is the time required to convert the credit sales in to cash realization. It refers to the period between the occurrence of credit sales and collection of debtors. The total of ICP and RCP is also known as total operating cycle period (TOCP). The firm might be getting some credit facilities from the supplier of raw material wag earners etc. this period for which the payment it these parties are deferred or delayed is known as deferral period. The net operating cycle of a firm is arrived at by deducting the deferral period from total operating cycle period. Thus NOC = TOCP-D = ICP+RCP- DP.

OPERATING CYCLE The duration of time required for completing the following sequencies of events in case of manufacturing firm s called the operating cycle. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Conversion of cash into raw material. Convertion of raw material into work in progress. Conversion of work inprogress into finished goods. Conversion of finished goods into debtors & bills receivable through sale. Conversion of debtors & bills receivable into cash.

The duration of the operating cycle for the purpose of estimating working capital requirement is equalant to the sum of duration of each of these tables less the credit period allowed by the suppliers of the firm.

TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL 1. NET WORKING CAPITAL: The net working capital is the different between current assets and current liabilities. The concept of net working capital enables a firm to determine how much amount is left for operational requirements. 2. GROSS WORKING CAPITAL: Gross working capital is the amount of funds invested in the various components of current assets. 3. PERMANENT WORKING CAPITAL: Permanent working capital is the minimum amount of current assets which is needed to conduct a business even during the dullest season of the year. The amount varies from year to year depending up on the growth of the company and stage of business cycle in which it operates. It is the amount of funds required to produce goods and services which are necessary to satisfy demand at a particular point. 4. TEMPORARY OR VARIABLE WORKING CAPITAL: It is represents the additional assets which are required at different times during the operating year additional inventory, extra cash etc., seasonal working capital is the additional amount of current assets particularly cash, receivables and inventory which is required during the more active business seasons of the year. 5. BALANCE SHEET WORKING CAPITAl: The balance sheet working capital is one which calculated from the items appearing in the balance sheet. Gross working capital which is represented by the excess of current assets, and net working capital which is represented by the excess of current assets over current liabilities are examples of balance sheet working capital.

6. CASH WORKING CAPITAl: Cash working capital is one which is calculated from the appearing in the profit and loss account. It shows the real flow of money or value at a particular time and is considered to be the most realistic approach in working capital management. It is the basis of the operating cycle concept which has assumed a great importance in financial management in recent years. The reason is the working capital indicates the adequacy of the cash flow. Which is an essential prerequisite of a business. 7. NEGATIVE WORKING capital: Numbers working capital emerges when current liabilities exceed current assets. Such a situation is not absolutely theoretical, and occurs when a firm is nearing a crisis of some magnitude.

49 DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL:Numbers of rules are formulated to determine the working capital requirement of the firm. a large number of factors influence the working capital needs of the firm. All these factors have different importance, also the importance of the factor change for a firm over time. Therefore analysis of the relevant factor should be made in order to determine the total investment in working capital requirements of the firm.

1. Nature and size of business 2. Seasonality of operation 3. Production policy 4. Marketing conditions

5. Business cycle fluctuation 6. Credit policy 7. Conditions of supply 8. Working capital policy 9. Current assets in relation to sales

NATURE OF BUSINESS:The working capital requirement of a firm is closing related to the nature of its business. A service firm like an electricity. A service firm like an electricity undertaking of a transport corporation, which has short operating cycle and sells on cash basis, has modest working capital requirement. On the other hand manufacturing concern like machine tools units which has long operating cycle and which sells largely on credit had varied substantial working capital management.

SEASONALITY OF OPERATION:Firms which have market seasonally in their operation usually have highly function working capital requirement. For a sugar industry the raw material i.e., sugar cane is available in particular season only. So sugar industry mainly depends upon seasonality of operations. PRODUCTION POLICY A firm marked by pronounced seasonal fluctuations in its sales many pursue a production policy which many reduce the shape variation is working capital requirement.

MARKETING CONDITIONS: In view of competitive conditions prevailing in the firm may have to offer liberal credit terms, to customs resulting in higher debtors, even large inventories many be maintain to serve an order as and when received. Thus the working capital tends to be high as a result of investors in inventions & receivable.

BUSINESS CYCLE FLUCTUATIONS:Different phases of business cycle i.e boom, recession, recovery etc, also effect working capital requirement. In case of born conditions inflationary pressure appear and business activities expand. As a result the overall need for cash , inventories etc., increase resulting more and more funds blocked in these current assets. In case of recession period. How ever, there is usually dullness in business activities and there will be opposite effect on the level of working capital. CREDIT POLICY:The credit policy means the totality of terms and conditions on which goods are sold and purchased. At firm has interact with 2 types of credit policies at a time one, the credit policy of the supplier of raw material, goods etc, and two the credit policy relating to credit which it octends to its customer. In both the cases, however ,the firm while deciding its credit policy has to take care of credit policy of the market for example affirm might be purchasing goods and services on credit but selling foods only for cash the working capital requirement of this firm will be lower than that of a firm which is purchasing cash, but has to sell on credit basis. CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY:If the supply is prompt and adequate the firm can manage with small inventory, if the supply is unpredicted and service then the firm has to ensure continuity of production. WORKING CAPITAL POLICY:Two important issue in formulation the working capital policy are: 1. What should be the ratio of current assets to sales. 2. What should be the ratio of short term financing to long-term financing. CURRENT ASSETS IN RELATION TO SALES: It usually does the investment in current assets cannot be specified unequally. In sales of uncertainty the outlook on current assets would consist of base component meant to meet normal requirement and safety component mean to copy with unusual demands and requirements. The safety assets policy of the firm .

1. If the firm pursues a very conservation current assets policy is should carry a high level of current assets in relation to sales. 2. If the adopts a moderate current assets policy it would carry a moderate level of current assets in relation to assets. 3. If the term follows highly aggressive current assets policy. It would carry a low level of current assets in relation of sales. A conservative current assets policy trends to reduce risk. The surplus current assets under the policy enable firm to copy rather easily with variations in sales. 54&55 An aggressive current assets policy seeking to minimize the investment in current assets exposes the firm to greater risk. RATIO OF SHORT TERM FINANCING TO LONG TERM FINANCING:What would be the relative proportions of short-term bank financing on one hand and long-term sources of finance and the other hand. The board policy alternatives in the respect are: 1. A conservative current assets financing policy. 2. An aggressive current assets financing policy. A conservative current assets financing policy refills less on short-term bank financing and more long on term sources like debentures. An aggressive current financing policy relies heavily on short-term bank finance and seek to reduce dependants on long term financing. CHOOSING THE WORKING CAPITAL POLICY:The overall working capital policy adopted by the firm may broadly:1. Conservative 2. Moderate 3. Aggressive

CONSERVATIVE: A conservative overall working capital policy means that the firm chooses conservative current assets policy along with conservative current assets financing policy. MODERATE: A moderate overall working capital policy reflects a combination of a conservative current assets policy and aggressive current assets financing policy or a combination of an aggressive current assets policy and conservative current assets financing policy. AGGRESSIVE: An aggressive overall working capital consists of an aggressive current assets policy and aggressive current assets financing policy. FINANCING OF WORKING CAPITAL:Normally, financing arrangements are planned for a combination of needs including capital expenditure and working capital investment the assessment of sources of funds from a package and rarely will be possible to concept upto a particular shows to a specific application or use at the same time financing manager does make an assessment of the investment needs as well as current assets and decider an a proper mix of long and short term funds. Taking note of the internal generation of funds for 56 &57 the period in question be decisions on the extent to which the firm would resort to issue of share or long short-term borrowing to mobile the required sources. Typically the current assets of a firm are supported by the combination of long term and short term sources of financing long term sources of finance are equity, preference term loans and debentures which primarily are fixed assets and secondarily provide working capital margin.

Where the commitments are certain but cash flows are not clearly predictable, it would wise to cut down drastically the number and extent of short term debts to manageable levels and prefer longer maturity schedules for debts. Short term debts can take care of the seasonal needs of the organization even here to take care of vagaries in cash flow, a past of the funds required may be obtained from sources with longer maturity schedules of the debts. Thus usually permanent and long-term finance is used to finance the permanent requirements or fixed assets and the net permanent current assets and a apart of the reasonable short term needs. The important sources of finance which more or less exclusively support current assets are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Trade credit Working capital advances by commercial bank. Public corporate deposits Inter corporate deposits Short term loans from financial institutions . Rights debentures for working capital. Emerging sources commercial paper and factoring.

Of all the above the most significant sources of working capital finance are trade credit and bank borrowings, after trade credit bank borrowing are the next important sources of financing working capital requirements of firms in India. Tanton committee has suggested guidelines for the ratio allocation and optimum use of the bank credit for the working capital requirement.

TANDON COMMITTEE RECOMMENTIONS:1. The borrowers should indicate the likely demand for credit. For this purpose, he should draw operating plans for the ensuring year and supply them bankers. This procedure will facilitate credit planning at the bankers credit needs in a realistic manner and the periodic follow up during the ensuring year

2. The bankers should finance only the genuine production needs of the borrower. The borrower should maintain the reasonable levels of the investor and receivable. He should hold just enough to carry on his targets production. Efficient management of resources should, therefore, be ensured to eliminate slow moving and flabby inventories.

3. The working capital needs of the borrower cannot be entirely financed by the bankers. They will finance only a reasonable part for the remaining borrower should depend upon his own funds, generated internally and externally.

CHORE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS:1. Borrowers should submit quarterly projection of cash credit banks. 2. The banks while assessing the credit requirements from borrowers should fix separate limits where as feasible. 3. As far as possible the borrowers should be discouraged for approaching the bank frequently limitation in excess of sanction limits. 4. Suitable provision should be made for charging of pena rate of interest in even of any defaults in the timely repayment of working capital loan.

CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL:The working capital of a concern is subject to changes due to several reasons. As we know that the gross working capital is equal to current assets. But net working capital we mean the excess of current assets over current liabilities. The net working capital is therefore, affected by the following transactions. 1. Which increase the current but not the current liabilities. 2. Which decrease the current assets and current liabilities both increase in the same direction by a transaction it does not bring any change in the net working capital of the concern. Only the total of current assets and current liabilities increase and decrease. REASONS FOR CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL:1. Changes in the level of sales and\ or operating expenses. 2. Policy changes. 3. Changes in the technology.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL:Until now any increase decrease in any individual item of current assets and current liabilities was shown in the funds flow statement. But now a statement is prepared to deficit the changes in working capital. The net increase or decrease is then carried forward to the funds flow statement. The statement of working capital is prepared with the help of current assets and current liabilities of the two periods the figures of 2 periods are compared. If there is an increase in the amount of any current liabilities in the current year in comparison to that in that in the previous year, it will result to an increase in the working capital. Similarly, a decrease in the amount of any current assets or an increase in amount of current liabilities in the current year in comparison to that in the previous year and total decrease in the end is compared and the different of total increase and total decrease shows net increase or decrease in the working capital. Net increase in working capital is an application of funds and net decrease in working capital in the source of funds. A form of statement is shown below.

INTERPRETATION Sudha agro chemical industries pvt ltd has a current ratio in the year 2005-06 it was 3.11 and in the year 2006-07it was 2.99 after 2007-08 it was decreasing trend but in the year 2009-10 the ratio is 2.94 which is above the standard ratio . The company in the years of 2005-06 and 2006-07 as 1.61 , where as in the year of 2007-08 ,it was in decreased to 1.37 and in the year 200809it was decreased. At last the companies overall liquidity position is not in good The absolute liquidity ratio of the company was not upto the mark during all the years. From the year 2005-06,it shows an increasing trendup to next year . In the year 2007-08 is same . During the year 2007-08 it was declined that means it has never reached the standard of 0.5 . Thesituation is due to very small balance of cash maintain by the firm for itsworking capital requirements. In the year 2000-10 the firm shows an increasing trend . For the company efficiency is decreasing .In the year 2006-07 it is 7.29, which is highest recorded . After that it went on decreasing to lowest of 1.64 in 2009-10.

The above statement showing about the details of stock at the opening of the year and at the closing .in the year of 2008-09 there is decrease in the stock at the end of the year .

RATIO ANALYSIS Several ratios calculated from the accounting date, can be grouped into various classes according to financial activity or function to be evaluated. As stated earlier, the parties interested in financial analysis are short and short and long-term creditors, owners and management. Short-term creditors main interest is in liquidity position or the short-term solvency of the firm. Long-term creditors, on the other hand, and more interested in the long-term solvency and profitability of the firm. Similarly, owners concentrate on the firms profitability and financial conditions. Management is interested on in evaluating every aspect of the firms performance. They have to protect the interests of all parties and see that the firm grows profitably. In view of the requirements of the various users of ratio, we may classify them into the following four important categories. TYPES OF RATIO: Liquidity ratios Leverage ratios Activity ratios Profitability ratios

Liquidity ratio:The liquidity refers to the maintenance of cash, bank balance and those assets, which are easily convertible into cash in order to meet the liabilities as and when arising. So, the ratios study the firms short-term solvency and its ability to pay off the liabilities. Current ratio:Current ratio is the ratio of current and current liabilities. Current assets are assets which can be converted into cash within one year and include cash in hand and at bank, bills receivable, net sundry debtors, stock of raw materials, finished goods and work in progress, prepaid expenses, outstanding and occurred incomes, and short term or temporary investments. Current liabilities are liabilities, which are to be repaid with in a period of 1 year and include bills payable, sundry creditors, bank over drafts, and outstanding expenses, Income received in advanced, proposed dividend, provision for taxation, unclaimed dividends and short term loans and advances repayable within 1 year Current assets Current Ratio= ----------------------------------------------Current liabilities A current ratio 2:1 is considered as ideal: if a business has an undertaking with its bankers to meet its working capital requirements short notices, a current ratio of is adequate. 2) quick Ratio:Quick assets Quick ratio = -------------------------------------------------Quick liabilities A quick ratio of 1 is considered as ideal. A quick ratio of less than 1 is indicated of inadequate liquidity of the business. A very high ratio is also not available as funds can be profitability employed.

Absolute liquid ratio:It is ratio of absolute liquid ratio assets to quick liabilities. However, for calculation purposes, it is taken as ratio of liquid assets of current liabilities. Trade investment or marketable securities are equivalent of cash therefore, they may be included in the computation of absolute liquid ratio. Absolute liquid ratio Absolute quick ratio = ------------------------------------------------Current liabilities a) Leverage ratios: leverage ratio indicate the relative interest of owners and creditors in a business. It shows the proportions of debt and equity in financing the firms assets the long- term solvency of a firm can be examined by using leverage ratio. The long-term creditors like debenture holders, financial institutions etc,. are more concerned with firms long term financial strength. There are two aspects of the long-term solvency of a firm 1) Ability to repay the principal when due, and 2) Regular payment of the interest they leverage ratio are calculated to measure the financial rest and firms abilities of using debt.

I)

TOTAL DEBT RATIO:-

Total debt will include short and long-term borrowing from financial institution debentures bonds. Capital employed will include total debt and net worth. The firm may be interested in knowing the proportion of the interest bearing debt in the capital structure by calculating total debt ratio. A highly debt burdened firm difficulty in raising funds from creditors and owners in future. Creditors treat the owners equities as a margin of safety. Total Debt Total Ratio = ---------------------------------------------Capital Employed 3) DEBT -EQUITY RATIO:It reflects the relative claims of creditors and shareholders against the assets of the business. Debt, usually, refers to long-term liabilities. Equity include preference share capital and reserves. The relationship describing the lenders contribution for each refers of the owners contribution is called debt equity ratio. A high ratio shows a large share of financing by the creditors relative to the owners and therefore, large claim against the assets of the firm. A low ratio implies a smaller claim of creditors. The equity indicates the margin of satisfy to the creditors so, there is no doubt the Beth high and low debt equity ratios are not desirable. What is needed is a ratio, which strikes a proper balance between debt and equity.

Total Debt Debt-Equity = ------------------------------------Net worth

Some financial experts opine that debt should indicate current liabilities also. However, this is not a popular practice. In case of preference share capital, it is treated as a part of shareholders funds, but if the preference shares are redeemable, they are taken as a part of long-term debt shareholder funds are also known as proprietor funds and it indicates items equity share capital, reserve, and surplus. A debt equity ratio of 3:1 is considered ideal.

1. PROPRIETORY RATIO:It expresses the relation between net worth and total assets. Net worth Property ratio= ---------------------------------------Total assets Net worth= equity share capital + preference share capital + reserves fictitious assets. Total assets= fixed assets + current assets (excluding fictitious assets) Reserve earmarked specifically for a particular purpose should not be included in calculation of net worth. A high proprietors ratio is indicative of strong financial position of the business. The higher the ratio, the better it is.

77 4. FIXED ASSETS RATIO:Fixed assets Fixed Assets = -----------------------------------------Capital employed Capital employed equity share capital + preference share capital + reserves + long term liabilities fictitious assets.

This ratio indicates the mode of financing the fixed assets. A financially well- managed company will have its fixed assets financed by long term funds. Therefore, the fixed assets ratio should never be more than 1) A ratio of 0.67 is considered idea

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO: This interest coverage ratio is computed by dividing earnings before interests and taxed by interest charges. Debt Interest coverage ratio = --------------------Interest This interest coverage ratio shows the number of times the interest charges are covered by funds that are or demurely available for their payment. A high ratio is desirable but too high ratio indicates that the firm is very conservative in using debt and that is not using credit to the debt advantage of shareholder. A lower ratio indicates excessive use of debt or inefficiency operations. The firm should make efforts to improve the operating efficiency or to retire debt to have a comfortable coverage ratio. iii) ACTIVITY RATIOS:Activity assets turnover ratio, measures the efficiency of a firm in managing and utilizing its assets. The higher the turnover ratio, the more efficiency the management and utilization of the assets while low turnover ratio is indicate of under- utilization of available resources and presence idle capacity. The total assets turnover ratio is computed by dividing sales by total assets. Sales 78 Total assets turnover ratio = ------------------------------------Total assets

2) WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIOS:Cost of goods sold Working capital turnover ratio = ------------------------------------Working capital Where if cost of goods sold is known. Net sales can be taken in the numerator. Working capital = current assets current liabilities. A high working capital turnover ratio indicates efficiency utilization of the firms funds. However, it should not result in over trading. 3) DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO :Debtors turnover ratio expresses the relationship between debtors and sales. It is calculated. Net credit sales Debtors turnover ratio = ------------------------------------Average debtors Net credit sales inspire credit sales after adjusting for sales returns. In case information no credit sale is not available. sales can be taken in the numerator. Debtors include bills receivable. Debtors should be taken at gross value, without adjusting provisions for bad debts. In case, average debtors be found; closing balance of debtors should be taken in the denominator. A high debtors turn over ratio or a low debt collection period is indicative of a sound credit management policy. A debtors turnover collection period of 30-36 days is considered ideal.

1.

DEBT COLLECTION PERIOD:-

The debt collection period measures the quality of debtors since it indicates the speed of the collection. The shortest the average collection period implies the prompt payment by debtors. No. of days year Debt collection period = ----------------------------------------Debt collection period An excessively long collection period implies a very liberal and inefficient credit and collection performance. This certain delays the collection delays the collection of each and impairs the firms liquidity. The average no. of days for which debtors remain outstanding is called debt collection period or average collection period. 2. CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO:Creditors turnover ratio expresses the relationship between creditors and purchases. Net credit purchase Creditors turnover ratio = --------------------------------------------Average creditors Net credit purchase imply credit purchase after adjusting for purchases returns. In case information on credit purchase is not available purchase may be taken in the numerator. Creditors include bills payable. In case avenue creditors cant be found, closing balance of creditors should be taken in the denominator. The creditors turnover ratio is 12 or more. However, very less creditors turnover ratio, or a high debt payment period, may indicate the firms inability in meeting its obligation in time.

3 .PAYMENT PERIOD RATIO:Creditors turnover rate can also be expressed in terms of number of days by the business to pay off its debts. It is termed as debt payment period which is calculated as:Number of days in a year Payment period ratio = -------------------------------------------Creditors turnover ratio

3. FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:It is defined as Net sales Fixed assets turnover ratio = --------------------------------Fixed assets Fixed assets imply net fixed assets i.e. after depreciation. A high fixed assets turnover ratio indicates better utilization of the firms fixed assets. A ratio around 5 is considered ideal. 4. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO:Stock turnover ratio indicates the number of times the stock has turned over into sale sin the year. It is calculated. Cost of goods sold Inventory turnover ratio = ------------------------------------------Average inventory Cost of goods sold = sales gross profit Average stock = (opening stock and closing stock 1\2)

In case, information regarding cost goods sold is not known. Sales may be taken in the numerator. Similarly, if average stock cant be calculated, closing stock should be taken in the denominator. A stock turnover ratio of 8 is considered ideal. A high stock turnover ratio indicates that the stocks are fast moving and get converted into sales quickly. However, it may also be on account of holding low amount of stocks and replenishing stocks in larger number of installments.

Iv) PROFITABILITY RATIO:It measure the overall performance and effective of the firm. Poor operational performance may indicate poor sales and hence poor profits. A lower profitability may arise due to the lack of control over the expenses. Bankers, financial institutions and other creditors look at the profitabilitys. ratio as an indicator whether or not the firm earns substantially more than it pays interest for the use of borrowed funds and weather the ultimate repayment of their debt appear reasonably certain owner are interest to know the profitability as it indicates the return which they can get on this instruments. Profitability ratios measure the profitability of a concern generally. They are calculated either in relation to sales or in relation to investment. 1) NET PROFIT RATIO It indicates the result of the overall operation of the firm. The higher the ratio, per profitable is the business. The net profit ratio is reassured by dividing net profit ratio indicates management efficiency in manufacturing administration and selling the products. This ratio is the overall firms ability to turn each rupee of sale into net profit. If the profit margin is inadequate, the firm fails to achieve satisfactory return on share holders funds. Profit after tax Net profit ratio = ---------------------------------Net sales

A firm with high net profit margin can make better use of favorable conditions. Such as rising selling prices, falling cost of products or increasing demand for the product. Such a firm will be able to accelerate its profits at a faster rate than a firm with a low net profit margin. This ratio also indicates the firm capacity to withstand adverse economic conditions.

3.RETURN ON NET WORTH RATIO :It indicates the return, which the shareholders are earning on their resources invested in the business. Profit after tax Return on net worth ratio = -----------------------------------------Net worth Net worth = share holders funds = equity share capital + preference share capital + Reserves factious assets. The higher the ratio, the better it is for the share holders. However, inter firm comparisons should be made to ascertain if the returns from the company are adequate. A trend analysis of the ratio over the past few years much is done to find out the growth or deterioration in the profitability of the business.

2) RETURN ON ASSETS RATIO :Profit after tax Return on assets ratio = -----------------------------------------Total assets Total assets do not include fictitious assets. The higher the ratio, the better it is.

3) EARNINGS PER SHARE RATIO:Earnings per share are the net profit after tax and preferences dividend, which is earned on the capital representative of one equity share. It calculated as :Profit after tax available to equity holders Earnings per share ratio = ----------------------------------------------------------------Number of ordinary share

It is difficult to decide on the proper basis of comparison. The comparison is rendered difficult because of differences in situations of two companies or of one company over years. The price level changes make the interpretation of ratios invalid. the differences in the definitions of items in the balance sheet and the profit & loss statement make the interpretation of ratios difficult. The ratios calculated at a point of time or less informative and defective as they suffer from short term changes. Difference in accounting policies and accounting period make the accounting data of firms non comparable as also the accounting ratios. It is very difficult to generalize weather a particular ratio is good or bad. For ex: a low current ratio may be said bad from the point of view of low liquidity. But a high current ratio may not be good. As this may results from in efficient working capital management.
