History
From a humble workshop to a global enterprise
Siemens was founded in Berlin by Werner von Siemens in 1847. As an extraordinary
inventor, engineer and entrepreneur, Werner von Siemens made the world's first
pointer telegraph and electric dynamo, inventions that helped put the spin in the
industrial revolution. He was the man behind one of the most fascinating success
stories of all time - by turning a humble little workshop into one of the world's largest
enterprises.
As Werner had envisioned, the company he started grew from strength to
strength in every field of electrical engineering. From constructing the world's first
electric railway to laying the first telegraph line linking Britain and India, Siemens
was responsible for building much of the modern world's infrastructure.
Siemens is today a technology giant in more than 190 countries, employing
some 440,000 people worldwide. Our work in the fields of energy, industry,
communications, information, transportation, healthcare, components and lighting
have become essential parts of everyday life.
While Werner was a tireless inventor during his days, Siemens today remains
a relentless innovator. With innovations averaging 18 a day, it seems like the
revolution Werner started is still going strong.

Basic Accounting Terminologies
Introduction
Every human being consciously engages himself in some meaningful activity.
Although the measure of success may vary in each case one has to be careful and
cautious at every stage in his life. Bookkeeping and accountancy is a science, which
has attracted the attention all such human activities. Accounting enables a person to
assess the risk appropriate steps.
Account an account denotes a summarized record of transactions pertaining to one
person, one kind of asset, or one class of income, or one class of income or loss.
Assets properties of every description owned by a person will be called assets for
example land and building, plant and machinery, cash balance, bank balance etc.
Bad debts which are irrecoverable and written off from debtors A/C as a loss are
termed as bad debts.
Casting means the totaling of the books of account casting has to be done of the
ledger accounts and also of a journal.
Creditor a creditor is a person to whom we owe some thing. He is the person to whom
we have to pay.
Capital the dictionary meaning of the term capital is wealth capital is the total
account invested in business the capital of a business is the claim of the owner to the
business is the claim of the owner to the business.
Debtor is person who owes something he is the person who has to pay to other
person.
15
Drawing is the total amount withdrawn by a trader from his business for meeting
personal expenses. Trader becomes a debtor of business by the amount withdrawn by
him from business for private purpose.
Discount it is an allowance or a concession allowed by the receiver of benefit to the
giver of benefit. It is normally allowed to the customers, debtors, and retailers’ etc. the
discount may be classified in two ways.
1) Cash discount.
2) Trade discount.
Cash discount it is discount allowed to customer as an inducement to make payment
immediately. Cash discount is closely related to cash receipt and cash payment. When
cash is received, discount is allowed is a loss to a business while cash discount
received is a gain to him.
Trade discount it is an allowance made by a wholesaler to a retailer in order to
enable the retailer to sell the articles at list prices and earn a reasonable margin of
profit. The amount of trade discount is deducted from the invoice; therefore, it has no
connection as to the receipt and payment of cash. Hence, trade discount does not
appear in the books of accounts.
Entry the term entry refers to the recording of a transaction in the books of account.
It is the primary record of a transaction in the books called journal or any other
subsidiary journal.
Expenses the effort made by business to obtain the revenues are termed as expenses.
It is the amount spent on manufacturing and selling of goods and services.
Folio it means the page number of the book of original entry or of the ledger by
writing folio i.e. page number, one can easily find out on what page the original entry
is made and on what page the entry is made in the main book.
16
Goods commodities in which a trader deals are called as goods.
Insolvent a person is said to be insolvent when his liabilities are more than asset
Insolvency when the liabilities of a firm are greater than its assets, it is referred to
as insolvency indicating the liabilities of a business to meet all its liabilities. Such a
business firm is said insolvent.
Journal is the book 0f accounts in which business transaction are first recorded. It is
a book of prime entry or first entry.
Liabilities debts owed by a person are called liabilities. Liabilities represent the
total amount to creditors. Debts arise because, goods may be purchased out but
payment may not be made at the time of purchasing the goods. Therefore the total
amount payable to creditors will be the liabilities.
Narration it is a brief explanation or description on to a journal entry it is given on
the line just below the journal entry within the brackets.
Posting transaction entered in the original books of entry are also to be recorded in
the ledger on the basis of the entry made in the original book is called posting.
Purchases the goods bought for resale or manufacture and resale are called
purchases. Purchases may be classified as
1) Cash purchase
2) Credit purchase
Revenue it represent the accomplishment of the enterprise until the company has
been successful in selling its products, no revenue is realized. Revenue is the amount

2) Real accounts.
3) Nominal accounts.
Personal accounts DEBIT THE RECIVER AND CREDIT THE GIVER

Journal is derived from the French word “jour’ which means a day journal is the
book of original entry or primary entry. It is book of daily record first of all the
business transactions are recorded in the journal and subsequently they are posted in
the ledger.
Ledger “ a group of accounts is known as ledger” a ledger is the principle book of
account a journal is meant for passing the entries of business transaction. A ledger is a
bound book. It contains many pages, which are called folios. These pages are
consecutively numbered. For each account a separate page is kept. Every ledger has
an index. It is generally an alphabetic index one page is allotted for each alphabet. All
the accounts commencing with that particular alphabet are indicated on that particular
page only. The page number on which the particular account appears is shown in the
index. This facilities appear is shown against the account in the index. The facilities
immediate reference.
Ledger posting
After the transaction has been analyzed into its debit and credit elements in a journal,
each such debit and credit elements must be transferred in a journal accounts. The
process of transfer of entries from journal to ledger account is called ledger posting.
19
Trial balance
After posting the transaction to respective ledger accounts they are balanced and then
a trial balance is drawn. A trial balance is a statement, which shows the list of
accounts showing debit balances and list of accounts showing credit balance. If
double entry principles are strictly followed the total of the entire debit balances must
agree with the total of all the credit balance.
Trade discount
The amount of trade discount is deducted from the bill itself. Therefore, a trade
discount does not appear in the books of accounts. If a trade discount is given in the
transaction, the amount of such a trade discount is deducted from the gross value of
purchase and only the net value (arrived at after allowing a trade discount) is recorded
in the purchase books.
Debit note
A debit note is sent to the supplier when the goods purchased from him are returned.
A debit note is a statement sent by the buyer to the supplier stating the full details of
the good returned. It is sent along with the goods. It intimates the supplier that his
account has been debited by the value of the good returned to him.
Credit note
A credit note is sent to the customers when we receive goods returned from them. It
gives the full details of the good returned by the customer. Credit notes are generally
is printed in red ink. Transaction is recorded in this book on the basis of credit notes.
Trial balance
The dictionary for accountants written is “ a list or abstract of the balance or of total
debits and total credits of the accounts in a ledger, the purpose being to determine the
20
equality of posted debits and credits and to establish a basic summary for financial
statements”.
Subsidiary books (sub division of journal)
If all the business transaction were recorded in one and the same journal, the journal
would be bulky and cumbersome. It would be very difficult to make clerks to work on
the same journal at one and the same time. Instead of recording all the transaction in
on and the same journal, they are recorded in separate journals meant for the purpose.
Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of modern business, the original journal is divided into the following
Purchase book
Sales book
Purchase return book
Sales return book
Cash book
Bills receivable book.
Bills payable book.
Journal proper.
Final accounts
The final accounts are prepared to find out the profit or loss and to know the financial
position of the business. These account consist of
The trading account
The profit and loss account
Balance sheet
21
Trading account
A trading account is prepared to find out the gross profit or gross loss in the
business done during the year. The gross profit is the difference between the cost
of good sold and the sale proceed without any deduction of indirect expenses.
Hence, in the trading account it is necessary to include all items of expenses
directly affecting the cost of good sold. The cost of good sold includes the
purchase price of the good sold plus buying and bringing expenses and the
expenses of conversion of raw material into saleable finished goods.
Profit and loss account
Profit and loss account is another summary account, which is prepared after
preparation of trading account. Trading account does not disclose the net income
or loss. There are other expenses in order to ascertain the profit or not loss.
Balance sheet
A balance sheet is a statement of the financial position of a business on a given
date. It is a snapshot of the financial condition of the business. The balance sheet
is not account; it is only a statement showing asset and liabilities of the business.
It is important to note that the balance sheet always balances. The total value of
the assets is always equal to the capital and liabilities.
We can define balance sheet as “a statement of financial position of any
economics unit as at a given moment of time, its assets, at cost, depreciated cost or
another indicated value, its liabilities and its ownership equities”

IntroductionOf Working Capital
Meaning:
Working capital could be defined as the portion of assets used in current
operations. The movements of the funds from capital to income and profits and back
to working capital are one of the most important characteristics of the business. This
cyclical operation is concerned with utilization of the funds with the hope that will
return with an additional amount called income. If the operations of the company are
to run smoothly, a proper relationship between fixed capital and current capital has to
maintain.
Sufficiently liquidity is important and must be achieved and maintained to
provide that funds to pay off obligation as they arise.
The adequacy of cash and other current assets together with their efficient
handling, virtually determine the survival o demise of the company. A businessman
should be able to judge the accurate requirement of working capital and should be
quick enough to raise the enquired funds to finance he working capital needs.
Working capital is also called as net current assets, “it is the excess of current assets
over current liabilities.” All organization has to carry working capital. It is important
from the point of view of both liquidity and profitability. Poor management of
working capital means that funds that unnecessarily tied up in idle assets hence
educing liquidity and also reducing ability to invest in productive assets such as plant
and machinery. So affecting profitability.
The term working capital refers to current assets, which may be defined as:
i) Those which are convertible into cash or equivalents with the period of
one year and
23
ii) Those which are required to meet day to day operations,
The fixed as well as current assets, both requires investment of ‘Funds’. So the
management of working capital and fixed assets apparently seem to involve it type of
consideration but it is no so. The management of working capital involve different
concept and methodology than the techniques used in fixed assets management.
Objective behind the Study Of Working Capital &
Research Methodology
Working capital management is very important in modern business. The analysis
of working capital is also very useful for short-term management of funds. The
following are objective of study:
1) To make. Items wise analysis of the elements or component of working capital
to identify the items responsible for change in working capital.
2) To calculate working capital for Four Month.
Scope & Limitation of the Study
1. The Study is limited to Four Month projected performance of the
Company.
2. The data used in this study have been given commercial Manager. As
per the requirement and necessary some data are grouped and sub
grouped.
3. For making a clear-cut opinion, Ratio technique of financial
management has been used.
24
Data & Methodology of the Study:
The data of Siemens Ltd. For the four Month used in this study have been
taken from company. Editing, classification and tabulation of the financial data, which
are collected from the above-mentioned sources, have been done as per the
requirement of the study.
Types of working capital
The type, kinds of a thing are depending upon the different utilization of
working capital. It prominently works in the direction of performing different
functions in different situation and in the context of divergent variables. So following
are some important types of working capital.
.
25
Net Working Capital Gross Working
Capital
Permanent Working capital
Temporary Working Capital
Types of Working Capital
Balance Sheet Working Capital
Cash Working Capital
Negative Working Capital
1) Net Working Capital:
Term Net working capital can be define in two way
i) It is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
ii) Amount left for operational requirement.
2) Gross Working Capital:
Gross working capital means the total current assets.
3) Permanent Working Capital:
It is the minimum amount of the current assets, which are needs to conduct the
business even during the dullest season of the year. This amount varies from year
to year depending upon the growth of a company and stage of the business cycle
in which it operates. It is the amount of funds required to produce the goods and
services, which are necessary to satisfy demand at a particular point.
It represents the current assets, which are required on a continuing basis over the
year. It is maintain as the medium to carry on operation at any time. Permanent
working capital has following features:
i) It is classified on the basis of the time factor.
ii) Its size increase with the growth of the business.
iii) It constantly shifted from one assets o another and continues to remain in
the business process.
4) Temporary Working Capital:
It represents the additional assets, which are required at different times during
the operating year. 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. It is the temporary investment in the
current assets and possesses he following features:
26
a) It is not always gainfully employed, though is May also shift
from one asset to another as permanent working capital does.
b) It is particularly suited to business of seasonal on cyclical
nature.
5) Balance Sheet Working Capital:
The balance sheet working capital is one, which is calculated from the items
appearing in the balance sheet. Gross working capital, which is represented by the
excess of current assets over current liabilities, is example of the balance sheet
working capital.
6) Cash Working Capital:
It is one, which is calculated from the items appearing in he Profit and Loss
Account. It shows the real flow of money or value at a particular time and
considered to be most realistic approach in working capital management. It is the
basic of he operation cycle concept, which has assumed a great importance in
financial management in recent year. The reason is that the cash working capital
indicates he adequacy of he cash flow which is an essential pre requisite of a
business.
7) Negative Working Capital:
It emerges when current liabilities exceeds current assets, such a situation is
absolutely theoretical and occurs when a firm is nearing a crisis of some
magnitude.
27
Principles of Working Capital
Management:
There are some principles of sound working capital management policy. They
are as follows:
1) Principle of Risk Variation:
Risk here refers to inability of a firm to meet its obligation when they become
due for payment. Large investment in current assets with less dependence on a short
term borrowing increase liquidity, reduces dependence on short term borrowing
increases liquidity, reduces risk.
On the other hand less investment in current assets and greater dependence on
debt increase the risk, reduces liquidity and increases profitability. In other word these
is a definite inverse relationship between he degree of risk and profitability.
A conservative management prefers to minimize risk by maintaining a higher level of
current assets or working capital while a liberal management should be to establish a
suitable trade off between profitability and risk.
2) Principle of Cost of Capital:
The various sources of rising of working capital finance have different cost of
capital and the degree of risk involved. Generally higher the risk lower is the cost and
lower the risk higher is the cost. A sound working capital management should always
try to achieve a proper balance between these two.
3) Principle of Equity position:
28
According this principle, the amount of working capital invested in each
component should be adequately justified by a firm’s equity position. Every rupee
invested in the current assets should contribute to he net worth of he firm.
4) Principle of Maturity of Payment:
This principle is concerned with planning he sources of finance for working
capital. According to this principle, a firm should make every efforts o related
maturity of payment to its flow of internally generated funds. Maturity pattern of
various current obligations is an impotent factor in risk assumptions and risk
assessment.
Factors determining working
capital
1) Nature or character of Business:
The working capital requirement of a firm basically depends upon he nature of
its business. Public utility undertaking like Electricity, Water Supply, and Railways
need very limited working capital because they offer cash sales only and supply
services, not products and as such no funds are tied up in inventories and receivables.
On the other hand trading and financial firms require less investment in fixed assets
but they have to invest large amount in current assets like inventories, receivables and
cash. So they need large amount of working capital.
2) Production cycle:
Another factor, which has a bearing on the quantum of working capital, is the
production cycle. The term ‘production or manufacturing cycle’ refers to the time
29
involved in the manufacturing of goods. It covers the time span between the
procurement of raw material and the completion of the manufacturing process leading
to the production of finished goods.
In other words, there is sometime gap before raw material becomes finished
goods. To sustain such activities that need for working capital is obvious. The longer
time span (production cycle) the large will be the tied up funds and therefore, larger is
working capital need and vise versa.
3) Production Policy:
In certain industry the demand is subject to wide fluctuations due to seasonal
variations. The requirement of working capital in such case, depend upon the
production policy. The production can be either kept steady by accumulating
inventories during slack period with a view to meet high demand during peak season
of the production could be curtailed during the slack season and increased during the
peak season. If policy is to keep production steady by accumulating inventories it will
require higher working capital.
4) Credit Policy:
The credit terms granted to customers have a bearing in the magnitude of
working capital by determining the level of book debts. The credit sales result in
higher book debs. Higher book debts mean more working capital. On the other hand,
if liberal credit terms are available from the supplies of goods trade needs less
working capital.
The working capital requirement of a business are thus, affected by term of
purchase and sale, and the ole given to credit by a company in its dealing with
creditors and debtors.
5) Growth and Expansion:
30
The working capital requirement of concern increase with the growth and
expansion of its business activities. Although, It is difficult to determine the
relationship between the growth in the volume of business and the growth in the
working capital of a business, yet it may be concluded that for normal rate of
expansion in the volume of business. We may have retained profits to provide for me
working capital but in fast growing concern, we shall require lager amount of working
capital.
6) Seasonal Variation:
In certain industry raw material is no available throughout the year. They have
to buy raw material in bulk during the season to ensure uninterrupted flow and
process them during the entire year. So a huge amount is blocked in form of row
material during the peak season, which gives more requirements for working capital
and less requirement during the slack season.
7) Earning Capacity:
Some firm have more earning capacity than others due to quality of the
products, monopoly condition etc. Such firms with high earning capacity may
generate cash profits from operations and contribute to their working capital.
8) Dividend Policy:
The dividend policy of a concern influence on the requirement of the working
capital. A firm that maintains a steady high rate of cash dividend irrespective of its
profits level needs more working capital than the firm that retains large part of its
profits and does not pay at high rate of cash dividend.
9) Other Factors:
31
Certain other factors such as operating efficiency, management ability,
irregularities in supply, import policy, assets structure, importance of labour, banking
facilities etc, also influence the requirement of working capital.
Sources of Working CapitalMainly there are two sources of working capital:
i. Permanent or Fixed working capital
ii. Temporary or variables working capital
In any concern, a part of the working capital investments are as investment in
fixed assets. This is so because there is always a minimum level of current assets,
which are copiously required by the enterprise to carry out its day-to-day business
operation and this minimum, cannot be expected to reduce at any time. This minimum
level of current assets need long term working capital, which is permanently blocked.
Similarly, some amount of working capital may be required to meet the seasonal
demands and some special exigencies such as rise in prices, strikes, etc. this gives rise
to short term working capital which is required for day to day transaction also.
The fixed proportion of working capital should be generally financed from the fixed
capital sources while the temporary or variable working capital equipment may be
met from the short term sources of capital.

Methods of Calculation of Required Working Capital
The methods of calculation of required working capital are as follows:
Working Capital Cycle:
The working capital cycle is also known as operating cycle. It refers to the
duration between the firm’s payment of cash for raw material, entering into
production and inflow of cash from debtors and realization of receivables. Simply
speaking, operating cycle is the duration between the outflow of cash and inflow
of cash and this may be evidenced from the following working capital cycle.
33
Receivables
Finished Goods
Raw Material Work In Process
Cash
The above and network diagram may offer a clear picture of a complete
working capital i.e. it is a cash phenomenon. In the diagram, raw material, stock refers
to material only. In work in process, components involve are raw material, wages, and
overhead more specifically manufacturing overheads. Finished stock consists
components of material, wages and overheads inclusive of factory, office and
administration and selling and distribution. Debtors include material, wages,
overheads and profits. Credit involves for the components of raw material, etc.
something a contingency margin is also given while estimating the working capital
requirement.
The operating cycle consists of him following events, which continues
throughout his life of a firm remaining engaged in commercial activities.
Avg. Stock of Raw Material1) Raw Material Holding Period =
Avg. Cost of Consumption per day
Avg. Stock of Work in Process2) Work in Process Holding Period = Avg. Cost of Production per day
Avg. Stock of Finished Goods3) Finished Goods Holding Period = Avg. Cost of Goods Sold per day
Avg. Book Debt4) Receivables Collection Period = Avg. Credit Sales per day
Avg. Trade Creditors5) Creditors Collection Period = Avg. Credit Purchased per day
In the form of a simple equation working capital cycle or operating cycle can be represented as bellow:
34

capital implies idle funds, which earn no profit for the business. Working capital
management policies of the firm have a great effect on its profitability, liquidity and
structural health of the organization. In this context, working capital management is
