WORKING CAPITAL TREND ANALYSIS

In the working capital analysis the direction at changes over a period of time is of

crucial importance. Working capital is one of the importance fields of management. It is

therefore very essential for analyst to make a study about the trend and direction of

working capital over a period of time. Such analysis enables as to study the upward and

downward trend in current assets and current liabilities and its effect on the working

capital position. The term trend is very commonly used in day-today conversion trend,

also called secular or long term need is the basic tendency of population, sales, income,

current assets and current liabilities to grow or decline over a period of time. The trend is

defined as smooth irreversible movement in the series. It can be increasing or decreasing.

Emphasizing the importance of working capital trends it have been pointed out that

“analysis of working capital trends provide as base to judge whether the practice and

privilege policy of the management with regard to working capital is good enough or an

important is to be made managing the working capital funds. Further, any one trend by

itself is not very informative and therefore comparison with illustrated their ideas in these

words, “An upwards trends coupled with downward trend or sells, accompanied by

marked increase in FTREPL investment especially if the increase in planning investment

by fixed interest obligation.

CURRENT ASSETS

Total assets are basically classified in two parts as fixed assets and

current assets. Fixed assets are in the nature of long term or life time for the

organization. Current assets convert in the cash in the period of one year. It

means that current assets are liquid assets or assets which can convert in to

cash within a year.

COMPOSITION OF CURRENT ASSETS

Analysis of current assets components enable one to examine in which

components the working capital fund has lacked. A large tie up of funds in

inventories affects the profitability of the business or the major portion of

current assets is made up cash alone, the profitability will be decreased

because cash is non-earning assets.

INTERPRETATION:

Page 16: Changes in Working Capital

It was observed that the size of current assets is increasing with increase in

sales. The excess of current assets is showing positive liquidity position of

the firm but it is not always good because excess current assets then

required, it may adversely effects on profitability. Current assets include

some funds’ investments for which pay interest. The balance of current

assets is highly increased because of increase in sundry debtors, cash

balances and inventories. Current assets components show sundry debtors

are the major part in current assets in indicates that the inefficient collection

management. Over investment in the debtor affects liquidity of firm for that

company has raised funds from other sources like short term loan which

incurred the interest.

CURRENT LIABILITIES

Current liabilities mean the liabilities which have to pay in current

year. It includes sundry creditor’s means supplier whose payment is due but

not paid yet, thus creditors called as current liabilities. Current liabilities also

include short term loan provision as tax provisions. Current liabilities also

include bank overdraft, for some current assets like bank overdraft and short

term loan, company has to pay interest thus the management of current

liabilities has importance.

Page 18: Changes in Working Capital

INTERPRETATION:Current liabilities growth in the year 2012-13 because company created the

credit in the market by good transaction. There are also downs in current

liabilities during the year 2011-12. To get maximum credit from supplier

which is profitable to the company it reduces the need of working capital of

firm. But company enjoyed over creditors which may include indirect cost

of credit terms.

RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis is the powerful tool of financial statement analysis. A

ratio is define as “the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions”

and as “the relationship between two or more things”. The absolute figures

reported in the financial statement do not provide meaningful understanding

of the performance and financial position of the firm. Ratio analysis helps to

summaries large quantities of financial data and makes qualitative judgment

of the firm’s financial performance.

ROLE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis helps to appraise the firm in the term of their

profitability and efficiency of performance, either individually or in relation

to other firms in same industry. Ratio analysis is one of the best possible

techniques available to management to impart the basic functions like

planning and control. As future is closely related to the immediately past,

ratio calculated on the basis of historical financial data may be of good

assistance to predict the future. E.g. on the bases of inventory turnover,

Page 19: Changes in Working Capital

ration or debtor’s turnover, ratio in the past, the level of inventory and

debtors can be easily ascertained for any given amount of sales. Similarly,

the ratio analysis may be able to locate the point out the various areas which

needs the management attention in order to improve the situation. E.g.

current ratio which shows a constant decline trend may be indicate the need

for further introduction of long term finance in order to increase the liquidity

position. As the ratio analysis is concerned with all the aspect of the firm’s

financial analysis liquidity, solvency, activity, profitability and overall

performance, it enables the interested persons to know the financial and

operational characteristics of an organization and take suitable decisions.

LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS

The basic limitation of ratio analysis is that may be difficult to find a

basis for making the comparison

Normally, the ratios are calculated on the basis of historical financial

statement organization for the purpose of decision making may need

the hint regarding the future happiness rather than those in the past.

The external analyst has depends upon the past which may not

necessary to reflect financial position and performance in future.

The technique o ratio analysis may prove inadequate in some situation

if there is differs in opinion regarding the interpretation of certain

ratio.

As the ratio calculates the basis of financial statements, the basic

limitation which is applicable to the financial statement is equally

applicable. In case of technique of ratio analysis also ie., only facts

which can be expressed in financial terms are considered by the ratio

analysis.

Page 20: Changes in Working Capital

The technique of ratio analysis has certain limitation of use in the

sense that it only highlights the strong or problem arias; it does not

provide any solution to rectify the problem areas.

LIQUIDITY RATIOThe ratios compounded under this group indicate the short term

position of the organization and also indicate the efficiency with which the

working capital is being used. The most important ratio under this group is

follows

CURRENT RATIO

The current is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities:

Current assets include cash and those assets which can be converted in

to cash within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors and inventories.

All obligations within a year are include in current liabilities. Current

liabilities include creditors, bills payable accrued expenses, short term bank

loan income tax liabilities and long term debt maturing in the current year.

Current ratio indicates the availability of current assets in rupees for every

rupee of current liability.

QUICK RATIO

Page 23: Changes in Working Capital

Quick ratios establish the relationship between quick or liquid assets

and liabilities. An assets is liquid if it can be converting in its cash

immediately soon without a loss of value. Cash is the most liquid asset other

assets which are consider to be relatively liquid and include in quick assets

are debtors and bills receivable and marketable securities. Inventories are

considered as less liquid. Inventory normally required some time for

realizing into cash their value also be tendency to fluctuate. The quick ration

is found out by dividing quick assets by current liabilities.
