A research Report on Working Capital
makes it clear. One housewife bought a new cooker, raw rice and adds water
to the cooker. She had put that on the stove without ignition ting the stove.
After half an hour she came back and check weather the rice has cooked or
not. What do you think about the rice?

A very common answer NO. How can rice be cooked without


ignition ting the stove on which it is put to be prepared? The simple example
tells a lot. How can as organization work without having working capital
though they had spent on the fixed capital? This gives importance of the
finance manager needs to take the decision in his routine work life
pertaining to manage working capital.

function of the finance department. Under the head of Working Capital

helps the reader in understanding the importance of the working capital and
effect of the change in it.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY


As it is mentioned earlier that the management of the working
capital requires a great sense of a understanding because the excess working
capital leads to less profitability and ineffective use of the capital, while the
inadequate working capital drags the company under the danger of liquidity.

Thus in other word, the Working Capital Management means to


optimize between the profitability and liquidity. Many company works with
excess working capital. Same is doing in ajmera cement pvt. Ltd.

Gross working capital: -


PREPARED BY:- CHAUHAN HIREN V. - 30 -
A research Report on Working Capital
Simply called as 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) and include cash, short-term
securities, debtors, bills receivables and stock (inventory).

Net Working capital : -


It refers to the difference between current assets and current
liability. Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected
to mature for payment within an accounting year and include creditors, bills
payable and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can be positive or
negative. A positive net working capital will arise when current assets
exceed current liabilities are in excess of current assets.

MANAGEMENT FUNCTION IN WORKING


CAPITAL

Management of cash

Management of inventories

Management of account receivable

PREPARED BY:- CHAUHAN HIREN V. - 31 -


A research Report on Working Capital
Management of cash

To managing cash is one of the most and significant factor for


operation of business. To manage cash it requires deftful knowledge of
managing cash. Though cash fund takes very small part of the total current
assets of the organization. So the organization should contain neither more

nor less amount of the cash because the shortage of cash leads to disturbance
in the business operation while the excessive of cash will remain idle in the
organization, which is not used for the revenue generation. Therefore the
management of the cash takes a large amount of management time.

The major facets of the cash management are

Motive of Cash Holdings:

Generally any organization holds the cash for transaction motive,


precautionary motive and for the speculative motive. In ajmera cement pvt.
Ltd., it holds cash only for the transaction motive. It holds the cash for
smoothing the day-to-day operation only. IT requires the cash for payment of
purchase and payment of wages, salaries and other operating expenses.

PREPARED BY:- CHAUHAN HIREN V. - 32 -


A research Report on Working Capital
There is no any other of motive behind the holding of cash. If there is
surplus of cash in the company than company transfer it to the corporate

Finance division while if there is deficit of the cash in the


organization, then it borrows from finance department.

Cash management cycle:

The key issue in the organization is to manage the cash. The


revenue generated from the sales should be mange in such manner that the
distribution of the cash allotted at the proper place. The cash is significant in
the organization because it used for the payment of needed expenses. The
main aim of any organization is to maintain the minimum cash balance and
invest the surplus fund in opportunity areas. For this purpose the division
transfer its surplus to the finance dept. and that dept. invests that cash in
various opportunity areas.
Managing the flow of cash

Managing the cash flow is very important task that company


should do effectively. Company need to look at cash inflow and cash
outflow about whether it is going in right way or not. So various companies
prepares cash budget but in this Ajmera pvt. Ltd., company does not prepare
PREPARED BY:- CHAUHAN HIREN V. - 33 -
A research Report on Working Capital
cash budget but account dept prepares expenditure budget. The cash
management efficiency will be improved by a proper control on cash
collection and cash disbursement by the management. So the cash collection
should be done as quickly as possible while the cash disbursement should be
delay.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Inventories constitute the most significant part of current assets of


a large majority of companies in India. On an average, inventories are
approximately 60 % of current assets in public limited companies in India.
Because of the large size of inventories maintained by firms, a considerable
amount of funds is required to be committed to them.

NATURE OF INVENTORIES

A research Report on Working Capital
In Ajmera cement pvt. Ltd., it holds a large amount of the raw
material for its manufacturing of the raw material for its manufacturing of
VRY and other chemicals,

Semi Finished Goods

Some inventories are semi manufactured products. They


represent products that need more work before they become finished

products for sale. Organization also holds some inventories for further
processing.

Finished Goods

Inventories are those completely manufactured products, which


are ready for sale. Stock of raw materials and work in progress facilities
production, while stock of finished goods is required for smooth marketing
operations.
NEED OF HOLD INVENTORIES

PREPARED BY:- CHAUHAN HIREN V. - 35 -


A research Report on Working Capital
The question of managing inventories arises only when the
company holds inventories. Maintaining involves tying up of the companys
funds and incurrence of storage and handling costs. If it is expensive to
maintain inventories, why do companies hold inventories? There are three
general motives for holding inventories.

o Transactions motive: - emphasizes the need to maintain


inventories to facilitate smooth production and sales operations.

o Precautionary motive: - necessitates holding of inventories to


guard against the risk of unpredictable changes in demand and supply forces
and other factors.

o Speculative motive: - influences the decision to increase or


reduce inventory levels to take advantage of price fluctuations.

RECEIVABEL MANAGEMENT

Trade credit arises when a firm sells its product or services on


credit and does not receive cash immediately. It is an essential marketing
tool, acting as a bridge for the movement of goods through production and
distribution stages to customers. A firm grants trade credit to protect its sales
from the competitors and to attract the potential customers to buy its
products at favorable terms. Trade credit creates account receivable or trade
debtors that the firm is expected to collect in the near future. The customer
from whom receivable or book debts have to be collected in the future are
called trade debtor or simply as debtors and represent the firms claim or
asset. A credit sale has three characteristics:

It involves an element of risk that should be carefully analyzed.


Cash sales are totally risk less, but not to the credit sales as the cash payment
are yet to be received.

It is basis on economic value. To the buyer, the economic value


in goods and services passes immediately at the time of sale, while the seller
expects an equivalent value to be receivable later on.
