Abstract
Efficient management of working Capital is one of the pre-conditions for the success of an enterprise.
To reach optimal working capital management firm manager should control the trade-off between
profitability and liquidity accurately. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship
between working capital management and firms profitability.
In this study, we have selected a sample of 5 top notch Electricals firms and taken their financial data
for a period of 6 years from 2008 2013 and studied the effect of different variables of working
capital management including the Cash conversion cycle and Current ratio on the profitability of the
firms.
The study shows that there is a negative significant relationship between cash conversion cycle &
firms profitability and positive relationship between Current Ratio & profitability of firms. This
reveals that reducing cash conversion period and increasing the current ratio results into profitability
increase. Thus, in purpose to create shareholder value, firm manager should concern on shorten of
there is significant increase in the trend is unfavourable and indicates inefficiency in credit
sales collection.
DSO = 365* Average Receivables / Net Sales
6. Days Sales Payable - Days Sales payables outstanding (DSP) is the average number of
days in which a company pays its suppliers. It is also called number of days of payables a low
DPO highlights good working capital management because the company is availing early
payment discounts. However, the DPO should be corroborated by other ratios, particularly
the liquidity ratios. When a company's liquidity position is good, a high days payables
outstanding most likely tells that the company is delaying payments to its creditors till the last
possible date to shorten its cash conversion cycle.
DSP = 365 * Average Trade Payables / COGS
7. Cash Conversion Cycle - Cash conversion cycle is the time it takes a company to convert
its resource inputs into cash. It measures how effectively a company is managing its working
capital. Shorter the cash conversion cycle the better the company is off because it has to lock
up cash for a relatively smaller period of time.
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) = DSI + DSO DSP
the shape of the curve showing the relationship between liquidity and profitability seem to be
an inverted teacup. This is shown in the following exhibit:

The coefficient of determination comes out to be greater than 0.45 so we can accept the hypothesis
and conclude that the efficient management of working capitals directly affects the profitability of the
sector.
Conclusion
Working Capital Management has its effect on liquidity as well on profitability of the firm. In this
paper a sample of the 5 Indian firms, listed on BSE including firms from different sectors of our
economy for a period which extends to five years starting from 2008 to 2013 has been taken. An
attempt has been made to examine the effect of different variables of working capital management
including the Debt ratio, Average collection period, Inventory turnover in days, Average payment
period, Cash conversion cycle and Current ratio on the Net operating profitability of sample firms.
The results show that there is a strong positive relationship between variables of the working capital
management and profitability of the firm.
