WORKING CAPITAL CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL FACTORS INFLUENCING WORKING CAPITAL TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL ON
THE BASIS OF CONCEPT TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL ON THE BASIS OF REQUIREMENTS NEED OF WORKING CAPITAL OPERATING CYCLE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL ADVANTAGES FINDINGS BIBLIOGRAPHY
Meaning of working capital Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories viz. 1) fixed capital 2) working capital
Every business needs funds for its establishment and to carry out its day-to-day operations. Long-term funds are required to create production facilities through purchase of fixed assets such as plant and machinery, land Building, furniture etc. Investment in these assets represents that part of firm's capital which is blocked on A permanent or fixed bassis and is called fixed capital. Funds are also needed for short-term purpose for the purchase of raw materials ,paymentof wages and other day-to-day xpenses,etc. these funds are known as Working capital. "Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost of operating the enterprises."
CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL There are two concepts of working capital. 1) Gross working capital 2) Net working capital
In the broad sense , the term working capital refers to the gross working capital and represents the amount of funds invested in current assets. Thus, the gross working capital is the capital invested in total current assets of the enterprise.current assets are those assets which in the ordinary course of business can be converted In to cash with in the short period of normally one accounting year .
CONSTITUTENTS OF CURRENT ASSETS 1) Cash in hand and bank balances. 2) Bills Receivables.
3) Sundry debtors. 4) Short-term loans and advances. 5) Inventories of stocks, as: a) Raw materials, b) Work in process c) Finished goods. 6) Temporary investment of surplus funds. 7) Accrued incomes.
In narrow sense, the term working capital refers to the net working capital. Net working capital is the excess of Current assets over current liabilities, or say:
Net Working capital = Current Assets Current liabilities Net working capital may be positive or negative . When the current assets exceed the current liabilities the working capital is positive and the negative working capital results when the current liabilities are more than the current assets.
3) Short term loans. Advances and deposits. 4) Accrued or out standing expenses. 5) Dividends payable . 6) Bank over draft. 7) Provision for taxation . if it does not amount to appropriation of profits
The gross concept is some times preferred to the net concept of working capital for the following reason : 1) It enables the enterprise to provided correct amount of working capital at the right time .
2) Every management is more interested in the total current assets with which it has to operate than the sources From where it is made available. 3) The gross concept takes in to consideration the fact that every increase in the funds of the enterprise would increase its working capital . 4) The gross concept of working capital is more useful in determining the rate of return on investments in working capital.
The net working capital concept, however, is also important for the following reason: 1) It is the qualitative concept which indicates the firm 's ability to meet its operating expenses and short term liabilities .
2) It indicates the margine of protection available to the short term creditors, i.e., the excess of current assets over current liabilities. 3) It is an indicator of the financial soundness of the enterprise. 4) it suggests the need for financing a part of the working capital requirements out of the permanent sources of funds.
duration of 30-60 days and inventory may be held for 30-100 days. They are rapidly transformed in to other assets form . cash is utlised to purchase raw material. Raw material is converted to work in progress which is converted to finished goods. Finished good are sold for cash or credit, which creates accounts receivables are finally realised in cash.
Based on these characteristics of current assets, following implications arise1) Working capital involves making frequent decision.
2) The difference between profit and present value is insignificant. 3) Since the various components of working capital closely interact with each other , decision pertaining to one component must be taken after given consideration to the effect on other components.
Nature of the business :This is one of the primery factors influencing the working capital requirements of a firm . For instance, a service firm like a hotel has a short operating cycle since it sells mostly on a cash basis and has lower working capital requirement. A
manufacturing firm , on the other hand , has a longer operating cycle and invests more in its current assets. It thus has greater working capital requirement. Seasonality of operations:some firms' products sell only during particular seasons . for instance, air conditioners sell more during the summer than in the winter. Such firms have greater working capital requirement during peak
.
seasons and lower requirements during other seasons . Firms whose sales are not affected by seasons have stable working capital requirement. Market condition :The level of competition existing in market also influences working capital requirement. When competition is high, the company should have enough inventories of finished goods to meet a
certain level of demand. Otherwise customers are highly likely to switch over the competitor's products. Supply condition :if supply of raw material and spares is timely and adequate , the firm can get by we they comparatively low inventory level. If supply is scarce and un predictable or available during particular season , the firm will have to obtain raw material when it is available.
Types of working capital On the basis of the requirement Permanent working capital:It refers to the minimum amount of the investment which should always be there is the fixed or minimum current assets such as cash and bank balance , debtors, and other short- term assets i.e inventory etc .in order to carry out business
smoothly. This investment is a regular type permanent working capital also increases. Tondon committee refered to working capital the following characteristics unlike fixed assets ,it keeps on changing its form from one assets to another It can not be reduced substantially as long as the firm is going concern.
With the growth of the business, the size of this component of working capital also increases. This hard core working capital is very important from finance point of view. It should be financed from long term sources of fund .for this purpose besides ploughing back of profits, shares and debentures can be issued to raise necessary funds.
Temporary working capital:The amount of temporary this hard core working capital identification is working capital keeps on fluctuating from time to time on the business activities. It may be divided in to two parts . i.e seasonaland special working capital . Seasonal working capital is required to meet the seasonal demand d of busy period or season occurring at stipulated intervals. While special working capital is
Required to meet extra ordinary needs for contingencies such as rising prices, fire strikes unexpected competition or big advertisement campaign.
Need of working capital :Working capital is needed for the following purposes 1) for the purchase of raw materials, components and spares. 2) To pay wages and salaries.
