1.INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUSTRY
India is the fourth largest oilseed producing country in the world, next only to
USA, China and Brazil, harvesting about 25 million tons of oilseeds against the
world production of 250 million tons per annum. Since 1995, Indian share in
world production of oilseeds has been around 10 percent. Although, India is a
major producer of oilseeds, per capita oil consumption in India is only 10.6
kg/annum which is low compared to 12.5 kg/annum in China, 20.8 kg/annum in
Japan, 21.3 kg/annum in Brazil and 48.0 kg/annum in USA.
Many varieties of oilseeds along with tree origin oilseeds are cultivated in India.
Among these, the major oilseeds are Soybean, Cottonseed, Groundnut,
Sunflower, Rapeseed, Sesame seed, Copra, Linseed, Castor seed and Palm
Kernels. India occupies the place of pride as the world's largest producer of
Groundnuts, Sesame seeds, Linseeds and Castor seeds. In India, oilseeds are
grown in an area of nearly 27 million hectares across the length and breadth of
the country. Depending on the period of cultivation, the oilseeds are classified as
'Kharif Crop' and 'Rabi Crop'. The Kharif Crop that is dependent on the Monsoon
is harvested around October-November each year. On the other hand, the Rabi
Crop is harvested around March-April each year. The edible oil industry of the
country comprises of 50,000 Expellers, 600 Solvent Extraction Plants, 300
Vegetable Oil Refineries, and 175 Hydrogenation Plants. The edible oil sector
occupies a distinct position in Indian economy as it provides job to millions of
people, achieves on an average a domestic turn over of US $ 10 Billion per
annum and earns foreign exchange of US $ 90 Million per annum.

by imports that cater to almost half of the total domestic consumption. With
cheap imports threatening to cripple the domestic industry, the government is
walking a tightrope between filling the demand
supply gap and the political need to keep the domestic industry in good health.
Unorganized, medium and small players dominate the industry. Hence, quality
remains a concern. There is need for better regulatory control to protect
consumers.
Oilseeds in India account for around 5.0 percent of the Gross National Product
(GNP) and 14.0 percent of the country's area under cultivation of crops. Castor,
Groundnut, Linseed, Niger, Rapeseed, Mustard, Safflower, Sesame and
Sunflower are some of the major oilseeds grown. India produces 10 percent of
the world's oilseeds, but has a low productivity of around 850-900 kg per hectare
(compared to a world average of around 1,100-1,350 kg per hectare).
The amount of oil extracted from the seed varies with the type and quality of
seed. In many cases, the oil recovery rate is upwards of 30.0 percent with
Sesame accounting for a high 45.0 percent.
Domestic consumption of edible oils has been growing at 4.0-5.0 percent a year.
The consumption in 2001-02 was around 25.75 million tons. Non-packaged oils
account for nearly 50.0 percent of consumption in both urban and rural markets.
In the remaining 50.0 percent contributed by packaged oils, branded oils
constitute a small portion of approximately 10.0-15.0%.

WORKING
CAPITAL
MANAGEMEN
T
29
A revolutionary change has taken place with new trends and new policies of the
Government in the wake of WTO; economic liberalization and competitive
business market. This has stressed the need of effective, efficient and proper
financial management of investment of funds in business.
To run a business funds and finances are required. A large amount is required
for acquiring the fixed facilities like land, building, plant and machinery etc. and
also for production and uninterrupted day to day operations investment is needed
for inventories of raw materials, semi finished goods and other related production
operation.
Two vital aspects of corporation like are liquidity and profitability. The Profitability
depends on the liquidity and due to thus important aspect, the working capital
management of short terms assets and short run sources of finances is
becoming an integral part of planning of the business. Total Capital can be
divided into Fixed Capital and working Capital. The Capital can also be divided at
fixed assets or long-term financing and current assets or short term financing.
The adequate funds must be available for investment in current assets for
procuring new supplies of raw materials and paying of wages and services. The
funds required for day to day operating costs are known as Working Capital.
These costs are met out of Current Assets like cash, bank balance, debtors and
inventories. In layman terms, the Current Assets are called Working Capital.
Usually current assets are not retained for longer period in the business and are
converted into some other forms.
Current assets are known as ‘Gross Working capital ‘. This is a going concern
concept that enables to provide current amount of Working Capital at the right
time, so that business operations sail uninterruptedly and to bring about
productivity from other assets. This concept is also known as Current Capital or
Circulating capital. The size of investment in the Current assets of the business
does not show or indicate current financial position, but for true assessment of
financial strength, these must be focused in relation with firms ‘Current
30
Liabilities’. The difference between Current assets and Current Liabilities is
known as Net working Capital.
While Gross Working Capital is a Going Concern concept, and Net working
Capital is an Accounting Concept of Working capital.
The goal of Working Capital Management is to manage firm’s current assets and
current liabilities in such a way that satisfactory level of Working Capital is
maintained. It has been emphasized that a firm should maintain a sound Working
Capital position and there should be optimum investment in working Capital. The
proper management of Working Capital also aims at protecting the purchasing
power of assets and maximizing return on investment.
The Net Working Capital is also known as Net Current assets. This concept
helps in knowing the additional capital required for financed the Current Assets
over and above what is financial by the Current Liabilities. This also indicates the
position of the firm and weather the firm has to finance either from long-term
funds or bank borrowing. The consideration of the level of investment in current
assets should avoid two danger points; Excessive and Inadequate in current
assets. Excessive investment means, an idle investment, which earn nothing and
inadequate investment firms solvency is threatened. Therefore, the management
should be vigilant and should have knowledge of the sources of funds in
emergency and possible investment avenues to temporarily invest the idle funds.
For efficient management of Working capital, both gross and net concepts of
working capital are important. There is no precise way to determine the exact
amount of gross or net Working Capital for any firm. There is also no specific rule
to how current assets should be financial. In practice, it is not feasible to finance
current assets should be financial. In practice, it is not feasible to finance current
assets by short-term sources only. Keeping in view, the constraints of the
31
individual organization, a judicious mix of long and short-term finance should be
invested in current assets. The current assets should be put to productive use,
since they involve cost of funds.
It is also very important that Working capital should be classified on the basis of
time factor as either permanent or temporary.

increasing and sometime decreasing.

In the second diagram depict that if the firms requirement for permanent capital is

working Capital for the growing firm has been shown in the above Figure.
33
5.2 Components of Working Capital:
Working capital has two components. Working Capital in current use of Current
Liabilities with the amount of Current assets is shown in the Balance Sheet. In
some Balance Sheets all items classified, as Current Liabilities and Current
assets are given in a consolidated Form.
34
Income Tax payable during the following years.
Dividends payable during the coming year
Provision for specific purposes
Short-terms Loans including bank overdrafts.
When Current Liabilities are more than Current Assets, Working Capital results in
negative.

We can illustrate this, by quoting an example, suppose, we have a Current
Liabilities of Rs. 70,000-00 and Current Assets of Rs. 1,00,000. The difference
between Current Assets and current Liabilities is Rs. 30,000. Now Rs. 70,000
should be raised from Long-term Loan in order to make business operating
successfully. Therefore, the objective of working capital Management is also to
maintain a smooth and rapid flow of funds over the Cash Cycle and to increase
the Working Capital efficiency and profitability of the firm. Controlling the Cycle
Time involved in the Activities does this. Working Capital known as ‘blood’ of the
firm. This blood can be seen flowing through the organization in the following
pattern;
Cash is needed to start with- Current Assets.
Cash is used to buy Raw Material- Current Assets.
Raw Material can be bought on credit-Creditors or Current Liabilities.
To pay in advance for Raw Material- Loans & Advances are current
assets.
Raw Material is converted in process – A Current assets.
Stock or Work in progress.
Work In Progress is converted to – A Current Assets
Finished Products.
Finished Products can be sold on – Credit sale generate debtor- A Current
Credit or on cash assets.
When debtors pay-up, cash is generated- A Current Assets.
36
To finance this cycle, money may be – a Current Liabilities.
May be borrowed from creditors.
More cash is generated at every rotation then that was first needed to buy the
raw material and add value to product. This added value cover all manufacturing
and trading expenses and also leaves a margins, it earn profit or surplus.
OP = M + W + F + D – C
Where,
OP = Operation Cycle Period
M = Material Storage Period
W = Work-in-Progress
F = Finished Goods
D = Debtors Collection Period
C = Creditors Payment Period

Solvency of the business: Optimum and adequate Working Capital in business
organization helps in maintaining solvency of the business by providing
uninterrupted flow of production. Excessive and inadequate Working
Capital threatened the very basis of solvency of business organization.
It also increases the organization financial soundness.
Goodwill of the organization: There are many benefits both seen and unseen
to a business organization which are based on goodwill. Sufficient and
adequate Working Capital enables the business organization to make
prompt payments and this helps in maintaining and creative positive
goodwill.
Raise easy loan: An adequate Working Capital ensures law rates of interest on
bank Loans. Sources of funds and finances for any business venture
can be easily arranged on favorable terms. Due to the effective and
sound management of the Working Capital the financial lending
institutions always came forward to have business with this
organization.
40
Purchasing Power: An adequate Working Capital enables and increases
the purchasing power of the business organization. It is always in a better
position to avail the advantages of any favorable opportunity either to
purchase raw material and avail cash discounts or to execute a special
order or to avail better options and market position. This help in reducing
cost of production.
So, keeping in view all the above points, we can very easily confirm the
statement that should, optimum and adequate Working Capital Works as
blood and oxygen in the life of business organization.
41
working capital is very vital for its functioning. By going through the Financial
Statements of last 5 years it has been observed that there are wide fluctuations
in the working capital from one year to other & that has affected the profits
significantly. So I have chosen Working Capital Management as the topic of the
research study.

Research Methodology:
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also
define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on
a specific topic.
The word research has been derived from French word Researcher means to
search.
FRANCIES RUMMER defined Research:
“ It is a careful inquiry or examination to discover new information or
relationship and to expand or verify existing knowledge.”
Research is the solution of the problem, whether created or already generated.
When research is done, some new outcome, so that the problem (created or
generated) to be solved.
Research methodology here includes:
Type of research.
Data Collection.

45
7.2 Methods of Data Collection:
The Secondary data on is characterized by the data being collected exactly for
the project writing, but have to drive-it-out from the record, books organization
appraisal, documents, financial statement, working capital statement of Vijay
Solvex Ltd. and other published material available.
The following steps of research methodology were taken in preparation of this
work.
Collection of Data
The first step in the process is to collect the data for this work. The data can be
collected through primary as well as secondary sources. The data collection is
the foundation of any study.
Data pools and record, communication methods and personal interviews etc. are
some of the ways to collect the data.
The main objective is to collect comprehensive data so that relevant data or
maximum information can be easily driven-out, keeping in view the constraints
regarding time; organizational policies, environment and secrecy are properly
adhered.

SCOPE
OF
STUDY
47
Scope of study here means the things or area covered . The study includes the
following:
1. Cash Management.
2. Receivable Management
3. Inventory Management.
4. Ratio Analysis
SCHEME OF STUDY
Cauterization Scheme is used in the research. The project includes total of five
chapters, which are as follows:
1. CHAPTER-1 Introduction
2. CHAPTER-2 Research Design
3. CHAPTER-3 Company’s Profile
4. CHAPTER-4 Analysis & Interpretation of Financial Statements
5. CHAPTER -5 Findings & Recommendations
The project is concerned with the “Working Capital Management at The Vijay
Solvex Limited, This study is very useful, as working capital is essential for every
manufacturing unit, to fulfill the daily requirements & for good management of
working capital.
It is also important to manage the firm’s current assets and liabilities in such a
way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained and thus ensure its
solvency.
Each of current assets must be managed to maintain liquidity.
48
Working capital management tries to avoid two-danger points excessive and
inadequate investments in current assets.
8.1 LIMITATIONS:
Limitations of the study are all those which a student has to face while
completing such project. However, following are the main limitations:
2. Although the staff of Vijay Solvex Limited was very efficient and highly
cooperative and they devoted enough of their valuable time for us but
because of time constraint we were not able to devote as much time with
their employees.
49
1. Cash Management:
Cash is the most crucial component of Working Capital of a firm. Cash is like
Blood stream in a human body gives vitality and strength to a business firm.
Cash is both the beginning and the end of the working Capital Cycle. The
problem of Working Capital Management is in fact the problem of Cash
Management itself.
The term cash with reference to Cash Management is used in two senses i.e.
narrow and broad. In Narrow sense it includes Cash (Currency) and generally
acceptable equivalents of cash as cheques, draft and demand deposit in banks.
However, in the broader sense Cash and near cash items such as marketable
securities and time deposits in banks also included in the Cash. In the present,
the term cash has been used in the broader sense.
This however, also supported by management scholars and experts as they
observed, “Cash Management includes management of marketable securities
also, because, in modern terminology money comprise marketable securities and
actual cash in hand with bank.
50
Precautionary Motive
Firm needs cash to combat some contingencies. Some of the
contingencies for which additional Cash is required include: -
Strikes, Floods, Failure of important customers.
Speculative Motive
It means to make use of profitable opportunities by firm.
Sometimes, the firm wants to make use of such profitable
opportunities, which are outside the operation of the business. For
this purpose, firm retains some Cash. Some of these opportunities
are:-
1. Opportunity to purchase raw material at low price by payment of
cash immediately
2. Opportunity to purchase securities at falling prices.
3. Purchasing raw material at a time when its prices are the
lowest.
Compensation motive
One more objective to maintain cash is to compensate for
providing free services by bank to the business. Bank provides a
number of services to its customers, like clearance by cheques,
credit information about other customers. For these services bank
charges commission, but some of the services are provided by
them are free of cost, for which they require indirect compensation.
For this purpose they wish their customers to maintain minimum
51
cash balance. The firm for its business transaction can’t use this
bank balance, but bank can use it to earn profit and thus
compensate itself for the cost to services to the customers.
52
Cash planning and Cash Forecasting
Cash planning is crucial in developing the overall operating plans of
the firm. The Cash planning and Cash forecasting must be
coordinated to get effective overall cash control.
53
disbursement over and above, the matter is refereed to the Board of Director.
The Chief Account Officer is directly responsible for the Cash Management of the
Unit. The Board of Directors and the Senior General Manager of Vijay Solvex
Group has the power to check the Units any time.
2. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
A large part of total assets of business is found in the form of inventory. To
observe that investment in inventory is not unnecessarily high and management
should keep proper control on the amount and structure of inventory. Because
among all the current assets of the business, inventory is the least liquid and any
wrong in the management of inventory cannot be corrected easily and it can be
ever costly for the firm. Funds of the firm which are procured from internal as well
as external sources need to be managed inventory and for this purpose inventory
should be aware of all the factors affecting the level of management and the
methods to control it.
The main objective of inventory management is to determine the level for each
type of inventory. For this purpose the purchasing and carrying costs should be
compared with their benefits. For example, when a firm purchase in bulk quantity,
it’s out of stock risk decrease but in case it continues to purchase, it reaches a
point where it’s carrying costs exceeds its benefits. Therefore, the management
should maintain only a proper level of inventory. Not only the financial manager is
concerned with inventory management but it also affects marketing and
production managers. For determining an optimum level of inventory proper co-
ordination among all of them is essential.
54
Stores and supplies
Capital cost
Maintaining of inventories results in blocking of the firms financial
resources. The firm has therefore to arrange for additional funds to
meet the costs of the inventories.
Risk of Obsolete
The inventories may become obsolete due to improved technology,
changes in requirement etc. In Vijay Solvex ltd there is also a risk of
obsoletion because of chance of Fashion.
55
Objectives of Inventory Management:
To ensure that the supply of raw material and finished goods will remain
continues so that production process is not halted and the demand of the
customers is duly met.
To minimize the carrying costs of the optimum level.
To keep investment in inventory at the optimum level.
To reduce the losses of theft, obsolescence and wastage etc.
To minimize inventory ordering costs.
56
Management of Inventory at Vijay Solvex LIMITED
Raw Material
Without raw material, the production is not possible. Raw Materials are those
basic inputs that are converted into finished products through the manufacturing
process. Raw Material inventories are those units which have been purchased
and stored for future productions.
Work in Progress
Work in Progress is that stage of stock, which is between the raw material and
finished goods. In Vijay Solvex Limited the Work in Progress is valued at costs
including appropriate overheads.
Lead Time
The Usage Rate
Lead-time is the time period between the date of placing order and the date of
receiving delivery.
Average Usage is that quantity of new material, which used daily in business.
Reorder Point = Lead Time * Average Usage
57
Economic Order Quantity or EOQ
EOQ means the quantum of material, which is to be purchased by each order so
that the sum of ordering costs of material and its carrying costs are minimum.
One issue in the inventory management is that at one point of time or by each
order how much quantity should be purchased.
In Vijay Solvex Limited, the inventory of stock and spares is very closely verified
and proper procedure is adopted.
EOQ = √[2RO/C]
EOQ = Economic Order Quantity
R = Total cost per order of that item
O = Ordering cost per order of that item
C = Carrying cost per unit per annum
Management of Finished Goods
Finished Goods are goods, which are ready for sale. Almost every firm maintains
a minimum level of finished goods in order to make continuous supply of goods
to the consumers.
3. Management of Receivable
A major part of firm’s assets is in the form of receivable. Receivables are created
due to credit sales. A firm sells goods on credit to save itself from its competitors
and to attract potential customers. Firm’s funds are blocked during the period
between the date of actual sales and the date of payment arising from credit sale
and thereby creation of receivable.
58
Meaning of Receivable
Hampton has defined receivable as under:-
“ Receivable are assets accounts representing amounts Owned to the firm as a
result of the sales of goods or Services in the ordinary course of business’’.
Characteristics of Receivable:
It involves as element of risk, which should be carefully analyzed. Cash
sales are realized at time of sales. But contrary to it, on credit sales as the
cash payment has yet to be received, so it involves risk of non-recovery.
It is based on Economic Value. To the buyer the economic value in the
goods or services passes immediately at the time of sales, while the seller
expects an equivalent value to be received latter on.
It implies futurity. The cash payment for goods and services received by
the buyer will be made by him in future period.
59
Purpose of Receivable
There are following three purpose of investing in or maintaining receivable:-
(1) Growth in Sales
In comparison to cash sales, firm can make high sales by selling on credit,
because, many customer do not want to pay cash. Also according to
the rules stated by the buyer in the early contract forces the company
to supply on credit. The final payment is made after the physical
inspection by the buyer in his country with the sample shown.
4. Ratio Analysis

61
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Meaning:-
This ratio indicates that the stock has been utilized efficiently or not. Also it is
used to check up that the required minimum stock has been invested or not. Only
proper inventory turnover enables the business to earn a reasonable margin of
profit.
Particular Formula 2007 2008
Inventory turnover Cost of Goods 8.59 7.79
ratio Sold/Average
stock
There are no thumb rules or standard inventory turnover ratio for interpreting
the inventory turnover ratio. The norms may be different for different firms
depending upon the nature of the industry and business conditions.
As the inventory turnover ratio of Vijay solvex Limited is7.79, it shows the
greater efficiency of the company.
62
Debtors Turnover Ratio
Meaning:-
Debtor turnover ratio is calculated to measure the collect ability of accounts
receivable and tell about how the credit policy of the company is enforced.
It indicates the number of times the debtors are turned over during the year.
The higher the value of debtor’s turnover the more efficient is the
management of the debtors or more liquid is the debtors. But a precaution is
needed while interpreting a very high debtors turnover ratio because very
high ratio may impel a firm inability due to the lack of resources to sell on
credit thereby losing sale and profits.

ANALYSIS
AND
INTERPECTIO
N
64
Factors Determining The Working Capital Requirements:
(1) Nature or Character of the business
The Working Capital requirement of a firm depends on the nature
of its business. Public utility undertakings like electricity, water supply,
telecom and railway etc. require very limited working capital because they
offer cash sales only supply the services and do not have creditors or
debtors.
(2) Size of the business
Working Capital requirements of a concern are directly
influenced by the size of the business. Greater the size of a business unit,
larger will be the requirement of the Working capital.
65
the credit period for purchases is 90 days and normally sales is done on
credit basis as it does only export.
66
Working Capital Assessment:
From the above, it is observed that projected levels of raw materials, trading
goods & finished goods and receivables are near about the accepted level for
financial year 2007-08 by the bank. In the year 2007-08 the level of raw material
67
is higher side due to build up of inventory by short term corporate loan of
Rs.1000 Lacs.

offer you a competitive advantage. This is your opportunity to remind yourself of
the value existing your object.

CONCLUSION
78
Conclusion
The study work has been done on the project topic “Working capital
Management of vijay solvex ltd.” Vsl has a key role as a producer of edible
oil in Indian market. Company has agreed position in the market. Company
does not spend much on advertisement, after it the demand for the
company products is increasing.
After robust growth over the past few years, Indian economy witnessed a
slowdown during 2007-08. GDP growth for 2007-08 as projected by the
Government at 8.7% shows a deceleration from the high growth of 9.4%
and 9.6%, respectively, in the previous two years. With the economy
modernizing, globalizing and growing rapidly, some degree of cyclical
fluctuation is to be expected.
Since then Vsl. has been a major presence in India's edible oil industry with
a tradition of technological leadership, achieved through tie-ups with
international technology leaders and through vigorous in-house R&D.
