INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDYMeaningOfWorkingCapitalManagement:-

Working capital means the part of the total assets of the b usiness that change from one form toanother form in the ordinary course of business operations. The word working capital is a made of two words working and capital. The word working means day to day operation of the business, whereas the word capital means monetaryvalue of all assets of the business.Working capital may be regarded as the life blood of business. Working capital is of major importance to internal and external analysis because of its close relationship with thecurrent day to-day operations of a business. Every business needs funds for two purposes. 1 . L o n g t e r m 2.Short term 1. Long term funds are required to create production facilities through purchase of fixed assetssuch as plants, machineries, lands, buildings & etc2. Short term funds are required for the purchase of raw materials, payment of wages, and other day-to-day expenses.It is other wise known as revolving or circulating capitalIt is nothing but the difference between current assets and current liabilities. i.e. Working Capital = Current Asset Current Liability.

Businesses use capital for construction, renovation, furniture, software, equipment, or machinery.It is also commonly used to purchase inventory, or to make payroll. Capital is also used often by businesses to put a down payment down on a piece of commercial real estate. Working capital isessential for any business to succeed. It is becoming increasingly important to have access to more working capital when we need it.

A good cash budgeting and forecasting system provides answers to key questions s u c h a s : I s t h e c a s h l e v e l a d e q u a t e t o m e e t c u r r e n t e x p e n s e s a s t h e y c o m e d u e ? W h a t i s t h e timing relationship between cash inflow and outflow? When will peak cash needs occur? Whenand how much bank borrowing will be needed to meet any cash shortfalls? When will repayment be expected and will the cash flow cover it? 2. Accounts receivable: Many businesses extend credit to their custom ers. If you do, is theamount of accounts receivable reasonable relative to sales? How rapidly are receivables being collected? Which customers are slow to pay and what should be done about them? 3. Inventory: Inventory is often as much as 50 percent of a firm's current assets, so naturally itrequires continual scrutiny.

Working capital= current assets - current liabilitiesNet working capital: - It is also can defined as that part of a firms current assets which isfinanced with long term funds.
