    7orking Capital is the re:uired for maintenance of day to day ,usiness

    operations. The present day competiti(e market en(ironment calls for an

    efficient management of working capital. The reason for this is attri,uted to

    the fact that an ineffecti(e working capital management mat force the form to

    stop its ,usiness operations' may e(en lead to ,ankruptcy. +ence the goal of 

    working capital management is not just concerned with the management of 

    current assets and current lia,ilities ,ut also in maintaining a satisfactory le(el

    of working capital.

    +olding current assets in su,stantial amount strengthens the li:uidity position

    and reduces the riskiness ,ut only at the e)pense of profita,ility. Therefore

    achie(ing risk;return tradeoff is significant in holding of current assets. 7hile

    cash outflows are predicta,le it runs contrary in case of case of cash inflows.

    Sales program of any ,usiness concern does not ,ring ,ack cash immediately.

    In most ,usiness' funds are deployed in assets which are in the form of 

    cash or ,ank deposits or will ,e turned into cash in a relati(ely short

     period as part of normal ,usiness acti(ities. In short the working capital

    is the sources of financing current assets and it includes short as well as

    long term financing.

    The management of the funds of ,usiness can ,e descri,ed as financial

    management. #inancial management is mainly concerned with two

    aspects. #irstly' #i)ed assets and fi)ed lia,ilities' in other words' long

    term in(estment and sources of funds. Secondly' current assets and

    current lia,ilities. Both of these types of funds play a (ital role in

     ,usiness finance.

    Management of working capital usually in(ol(es management or 

    administration of current assets' namely cash' marketa,le securities'

    account recei(a,les and in(entories and also the administration of 

    current lia,ilities such as creditors' account paya,le' notes and ,ills

     paya,les' ,ank o(erdraft' outstanding e)penses' temporary loans and

     pro(isions. A firm should always maintain the right cash ,alance so

    that flow of funds is maintained at a desira,le speed not allowing

    slowdowns or stoppage. Thus' the enterprises can ha(e a ,alance

     ,etween li:uidity and profita,ility.

    The term working capital is often used to refer the firm>s current assets

    like primarily cash' marketa,le securities' account recei(a,les and

    in(entories. 7orking capital refers to the fact that most of its

    components ha(e their impact o(er weeks and month rather than years.

    #or this reason' working capital management is often referred to as

    short;term finance. The term working capital is closely related to the

    term funds and has two common meaning. It is used to mean current

    assets of current assets means current lia,ilities.

    7orking capital management is concerned with the pro,lems that arise

    in attempting to manage the current assets. The term current assets

    12

  • 8/20/2019 myproject-131107120731-phpapp01

    20/57

    refers to those assets which is ordinary course of ,usiness can ,e or 

    will ,e turned into cash within one year without undergoing a

    diminution in (alue and with our disrupting the operations of the firm.

    The major current assets are cash' marketa,le securities' account

    recei(a,les and in(entory.

    Current lia,ilities are those lia,ilities' which are intended at their 

    inception to ,e paid in the ordinary course of ,usiness within a year'

    out of the current assets of earnings of the concern. The ,asis current

    lia,ilities are accounts paya,le' ,ank o(erdraft and outstanding

    e)penses. The goal of working capital management is to management

    the firm>s current assets and current lia,ilities in such a way that a

    satisfactory le(el of working capital is maintained.

    This is so ,ecause if the firm cannot maintainto satisfactory le(el of 

    working capital' it is likely to ,ecome insol(ent and may ,e forced into

     ,ankruptcy. The current assets should ,e large enough to co(er its

    current lia,ilities in order to ensure a reasona,le margin of safety. $ach

    of the current assets must manage efficiently in order to maintain the

    li:uidity of the firm while not keeping too high le(el of any of them.

    $ach of the short;team sources of financing must ,e continuously

    managed to ensure that they are a,stained and used in the ,est possi,le

    way. The interaction ,etween current assets and current lia,ilities is'

    therefore' the main theme of the theory of working capital

    management.

    7orking capital may ,e defined more particularly as the assets held for 

    current use within a ,usiness less the amount due to those who await

    settlement in short term in whate(er form. 7orking capital is an

    important aspect manufacturing compares that ha(e so far de(eloped

    country. Among all a(aila,le options proper management of working

    capital is the only ,est possi,le option to impro(e their operational

    (ia,ility. 7orking capital is the financial management practice in

    manufacturing enterprises. 7orking capital represents portion that

    circulates from one form to another in the ordinary conduct of ,usiness.

    This idea em,races recurring transaction from cash to in(entories to

    recei(a,le to cash that forms the con(entional chain of ,usiness

    operations.

    #und deployed for short term are mainly for working capital or 

    operational purpose. Towards the day;to;day operation' a firm will

    ha(e to pro(ide money towards the purchase of raw materials' payment

    of wage and salaries to e)tend credit to ,uyers of goods as well as to

    CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

    There are two concepts of working capital4; gross - net. 8ross

    working capital' simply called working capital' refers to the firm>sin(estment in current assets. Current assets are the assets which can ,e

    con(erted into cash within an accounting period /or operating

    cycle1and cash' short;term securities' recei(a,les' de,tors and stock 

    /in(entory1 are included in current assets. !et working capital refers to

    the difference ,etween current assets and current lia,ilities. Current

    lia,ilities are those claims of outsiders' which are e)pected to mature

    for payment within an accounting periodand include creditors' ,ills

     paya,leand outstanding e)penses.

    1) G*4++ 4*@1-2 3&917&

    According to this concept' total current assets are working capital

    which presents ,oth owned capital as well as loan capital used for 

    financing current assets. It includes cash' short;term securities and

    recei(a,les in(entories. These assets can ,e con(erted into cash within

    a year. 8enerally' when it comes to current assets' cash is the most

    (alua,le element ,ecause it is immediately a(aila,le to settle ,ills and

    de,tors are more (alue than stock which is nearer to ,eing turned into

    cash. The gross concept of working capital refers to the amount funds

    in(ested in short;term assets that are employed in the enterprise. 8ross

    working capital is the firm>s total current asset and net working capital

    is current assets minus current lia,ilities.

    Another name of gross working capital is circulating capital.

    Circulating capital means circular flow of cash. This is also called

    operating cycle in case of manufacturing firm. This cycle starts with

    which is used to pay for raw materials. &aw materials are con(erted

    into work;in progress which is again con(erted into finished goods.

    7hen it is ready for sale' it is a circular cash;flow from cash into

    in(entories to recei(a,les and ,ack to cash' this cycle will ,e repeat

    again for the whole life of the firm.

    The (alue represented ,y current assets circulates from one working

    capital to another working capital from purchase accounts to goods

    manufacturing accounts. #rom in(entory accounts to sales accounts'

    from sales accounts to cash accounts' this is descri,ed as circulating

    nature of current assets of in other work working capital has circulating

    nature. The speed of circulating of working capital of the turno(er of 

    current assets is an indicator of degree of efficiency of the

    management. The faster the turno(er shows the higher degree of 

    efficiency.

    their own ad(antages and disad(antages' which concept to choose

    a financial concept where as that of net concept is an accounting

    concept. Management is interested in current assets to operate the

     ,usiness with efficiency. To e(aluate the efficiency' gross concept is

    appropriate. 3n the other hand interest of in(estors and lenders is in

    There are no hard and fast rules or certain formulae to determine the

    working capital re:uirement of the firm. The importance of efficient

    working capital management is an aspect of o(erall financial

    management. Thus a firm plans its operations with ade:uate working

    capital re:uirement or it should ha(e neither too e)cess nor too

    inade:uate working capital. A num,er of factors affect the working

    capital. 8enerally' the following factors affect the working capital

    re:uirement of the firm.

    7orking capital re:uirement is also determined ,y its production

     policy. If a firm produces seasonal foods' the its production and sales

    (olume fluctuate with different seasons. This type of fluctuating policy

    affects the working capital policy of the firm.

    i(1 Credit *olicy4

    Credit policy affects the working capital of a firm. 7orking capital

    re:uirement depends on terms of sales. ifferent term may ,e followed

     ,y different customers according to their credit worthiness. If the firm

    follows the li,eral credit policy' then it re:uires more working capital.

    Con(ersely' if a firm follows the stringent policy' it re:uires less

    working capital.

    (1 A(aila,ility of Credit4

    A(aila,ility of credit facility is another factor that affects the working

    capital re:uirement. If the creditors a(ail a li,eral credit terms then the

    firm will need less working capital and (ice;(ersa. In other works' the

    firm can get credit facility easily on fa(ora,le conditions. Thus' it

    re:uires less working capital to run the firm otherwise more working

    capital is re:uired to operate the firm smoothly.

    (i1 8rowth and $)pansion4

    8rowth and e)pansion also affects the working capital re:uirement of 

    firm. +owe(er' it is difficult to preciseP determine the relationship

     ,etween the growth and e)pansion of the firm and working capital

    more working capital than those static ones.

    (ii1 *rice le(el Change4

    *rice le(el change also affects the working capital re:uirement of a

    firm. 8enerally' a firm re:uires maintaining the higher amount of 

    working capital' if the price le(el rises. Because the same le(el of 

    current assets needs more due to the increasing price. In conclusion' the

    important function of financial manager is to determine the le(el of 

    working capital and to decide how it is to financed. #inancial of any

    approach.

    This approach implies managing the indi(idual components of working

    capital /i.e. in(entory' recei(a,les' paya,les' etc.1 efficiently and

    economically so that there are neither idle funds nor paucity of funds.

    Techni:ues ha(e ,een e(ol(ed for the management of each of these

    components. In India' more emphasis is gi(en to the management of 

    de,tors ,ecause they generally constitute the largest share of the

    in(estment in working capital. 3n the other hand' in(entory control has
