ABOUT INDUSTRY

INTRODUCTION. (1.1)

INTRODUCTION OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY


The textile industry is primarily concerned with the design and production of yarn,
cloth, clothing, and their distribution various segments like embroidery, apparel, etc.
The raw material may be natural, or synthetic using products of the chemical industry.
There are some indications that weaving was already known in the Palaeolithic. An
indistinct textile impression has been found at Pavlov, Moravia. Neolithic textiles
were found in pile dwellings excavations in Switzerland and at El Fayum, Egypt at a
site which dates to about 5000 BC.The main steps in the production of cloth are
producing the fibre, preparing it, converting it to yarn, converting yarn to cloth, and
then finishing the cloth. The cloth is then taken to the manufacturer of garments. The
preparation of the fibres differs the most, depending on the fibre used. Flax requires
retting and dressing, while wool requires carding and washing. The spinning and
weaving processes are very similar between fibres, however.

EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is a handicraft of decorating a fabric or other materials with needle and
thread, experts believe that craft made on cloth lasts lang and make fabric look
attractive

HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF EMBROIDERY


Embroidery is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply
thread or yarn Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as pearls, beads,
quills, and sequins. In modern days, embroidery is usually seen on caps, hats, coats,
blankets, dress shirts, denim, dresses, stockings, and golf shirts. Embroidery is
available with a wide variety of thread or yarn color.Some of the basic techniques or
stitches of the earliest embroidery are chain stitch, buttonhole or blanket stitch,

running stitch, satin stitch, cross stitch. Those stitches remain the fundamental
techniques of hand embroidery today.

ORIGIN OF EMBROIDERY
The process used to tailor, patch, mend and reinforce cloth fostered the development
of sewing techniques, and the decorative possibilities of sewing led to the art of
embroidery. Indeed, the remarkable stability of basic embroidery stitches has been
noted:It is a striking fact that in the development of embroidery there are no changes
of materials or techniques which can be felt or interpreted as advances from a
primitive to a later, more refined stage. On the other hand, we often find in early
works a technical accomplishment and high standard of craftsmanship rarely attained
in later times.The art of embroidery has been found worldwide and several early
examples have been found. Works in China have been dated to the Warring States
period (5th–3rd century BC).In a garment from Migration period Sweden, roughly
300–700 AD, the edges of bands of trimming are reinforced with running stitch, back
stitch, stem stitch, tailor's buttonhole stitch, and whip-stitching, but it is uncertain
whether this work simply reinforced the seams or should be interpreted as decorative
embroidery.
Ancient Greek mythology has credited the goddess Athena with passing down the art
of embroidery along with weaving, leading to the famed competition between herself
and the mortal Arachne.

Historical applications and technique.


Depending on time, location and materials available, embroidery could be the domain
of a few experts or a widespread, popular technique. This flexibility led to a variety of
works, from the royal to the mundane.Elaborately embroidered clothing, religious
objects, and household items often were seen as a mark of wealth and status, as in the
case of Opus Anglicanum, a technique used by professional workshops and guilds in
medieval England.In 18th-century England and its colonies, samplers employing fine
silks were produced by the daughters of wealthy families. Embroidery was a skill
marking a girl's path into womanhood as well as conveying rank and social standing.

Conversely, embroidery is also a folk art, using materials that were accessible to non

professionals. Examples include Hardanger from Norway, Merezhka from Ukraine,


Mountmellick embroidery from Ireland, Nakshi kantha from Bangladesh and West
Bengal, and Brazilian embroidery. Many techniques had a practical use such as
Sashiko from Japan, which was used as a way to reinforce clothing.

Concepts of computerized embroidery


Although advanced home user software such as the free Stitch Era universal is pretty
smart in converting vector drawings to stitchable sections and the latter to stitch
commands, you may have to intervene manually and/or at least set a few parameters
in order to get a decent enough result. Read our pieces on Stitch Era if you need to see
some more practical examples that deal with beginner's embroidery projects.the "big
three" (problems) of embroidery are puckering, poor fabric coverage or poor
registration and “correct stabilization, correct hooping and correct tension on your
embroidery machine” will make your embroidery much more successful.

THREADS

Most popular embroidery threads are made from Viscose (also known as rayon) or
Polyester. Other materials include cotton, wool and metalized.

Thickness

There exist several metrics for thickness and none is really intuitive to understand
(like thickness of threads as for climbing ropes). Thread thickness measures are
standardized weights (standardized in the sense of statistics). For example:

 In the most popular metric numbering system (Nm or No), higher means
finer and lower means thicker. Nm is measured as number of 1000 metre
hanks per kilo.

RNS First Grade College 3


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 In the so-called Denier or Tex systems (used for stockings), the opposite is
true. Tex is weight in grams of 1000 metres of yarn and Denier is weight
in grams of 9000 meters of yarn.

We use Madeira Rayon 40, a so-called "classic" Viscose (artificial silk) thread type
that is appropriate for beginners. It can be used both on fine fabrics like silk and
rougher/thicker fabrics like jeans or leather.

Some standard weights (Nm/No):

 80 very fine, e.g. for monograms on silk ties


 60 fine, e.g. for delicate fabrics and small letters)
 50 medium-fine, for medium weight fabrics
 40 is medium, standard fabric, the most popular weight
 30 medium-thick, for filling larger surfaces, quilts, cross-stitches
 15 thick
 6 very thick (not suitable for a machine)
How a stitch is formed

The formation of a stitch begins when the needle penetrates the fabric and descends to
its lowest point. The bobbin hook then slides by the needle’s scarf, catching the upper
thread, and carries it around the bobbin and bobbin thread.

Choose regular needle size by fabric weight

When selecting a needle for regular sewing, start with needle size. European needles
range in size from 60 to 120, which refers to the diameter taken on the shaft right
above the eye. American needles are sized from 8 to 19 in an arbitrary numbering
system, and paired with corresponding European sizes: for example, 60/8 or 70/10;
the larger the number, the larger the needle.

Determine needle size by fabric weight. Choose a size 60/8 needle for lightweight
fabrics similar to georgette or organdy; a 70/10 or 80/12 needle for medium-weight
jersey, Lycra, linen, or calf leather; a 90/14 and 100/16 for heavy fabrics like jeans,
vinyl, upholstery or canvas; and 110/18 or 120/19 for very heavy fabrics. After
choosing needle size, match the needle point to your fabric. The needle type and name
is usually determined by the characteristics of the needle’s point. How smoothly the
thread pulls through the needle’s eye is also a factor in producing even, regular
stitches. So if you have trouble threading the needle and problems with the stitches,
the thread and needle aren’t matched correctly. Lay your thread in the needle’s front
groove; it should “snuggle”.In the end, most sewers just want to get professional-
looking results. Knowing more about needles brings you closer to that goal, since

RNS First Grade College 5


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

needle choice greatly affects your outcome. For every correctly chosen, new needle
you put into your machine, you should have eight to 12 continuous hours of trouble-
free sewing.

Embroidery in India

Embroidery in India includes dozens of embroidery styles that vary by region and
clothing styles. Designs in Indian embroidery are formed on the basis of the texture
and the design of the fabric and the stitch. The dot and the alternate dot, the circle, the
square, the triangle, and permutations and combinations of these constitute the design.

Aari

Aari work involves a hook, plied from the top but fed by silk thread from below with
the material spread out on a frame. This movement creates loops, and repeats of these
lead to a line of chain stitches. The fabric is stretched on a frame and stitching is done
with a long needle ending with a hook such as a crewel, tambour (a needle similar to a
very fine crochet hook but with a sharp point) or Luneville work. The other hand
feeds the thread from the underside, and the hook brings it up, making a chain stitch,
but it is much quicker than chainstitch done in the usual way: looks like machine-
made and can also be embellished with sequins and beads - which are kept on the
right side, and the needle goes inside their holes before plunging below, thus securing
them to the fabric.

Banjara embroidery

Practiced by the Lambadi gypsy tribes of Andhra Pradesh, Banjara embroidery is a


mix of applique with mirrors and beadwork. Bright red, yellow, black and white
coloured cloth is laid in bands and joined with a white criss-cross stitch. The Banjaras
of Madhya Pradesh who are found in the districts of Malwa and Nimar have their own
style of embroidery where designs are created according to the weave of the cloth,
and the textured effect is achieved by varying colours and stitches of the geometric
patterns and designs. Motifs are generally highlighted by cross-stitch.

Banni or Heer Bharat (Gujarat)

he Banni or Heer Bharat embroidery originates in Gujarat, and is practiced mainly by


the Lohana community. It is done with silk floss (Heer means "silk floss") and it is
famous for its vibrancy and richness in color pallets & design patterns, which include
shisha (mirror) work. Bagh and phulkari embroidery of the Punjab region has
influenced Heer Bharat embroidery in its use of geometrical motifs and stitchery.

ABOUT THE SUBJECT. (1.2)

Meaning of Finance
If we trace the origin of finance, there is evidence to prove that it is as old as human
life on earth. The word finance was originally a French word. In the 18th century, it
was adapted by English speaking communities to mean “the management of money.”
Since then, it has found a permanent place in the English dictionary. Today, finance is
not merely a word else has emerged into an academic discipline of greater
significance. Finance is now organized as a branch of Economics. Finance is
“EXCHANGE." Finance is nothing but an exchange of available resources. Finance is
not restricted only to the exchange and/or management of money. A barter trading
system is also a type of finance. Thus, we can say, Finance is an art of managing
various available resources like money, assets, investments, securities, etc.
Hence, Finance has now become an organic function and inseparable part of our day-
to-day lives. Today, it has become a word which we often encounter on our daily
basis.

Definition of Finance
Finance is defined in numerous ways by different groups of people. Though it is
difficult to give a perfect definition of Finance following selected statements will help
you deduce its broad meaning. In General sense, "Finance is the management of
money and other valuables, which can be easily converted into cash."

According to Experts, "Finance is a simple task of providing the necessary funds


(money) required by the business of entities like companies, firms, individuals and
others on the terms that are most favourable to achieve their economic objectives."

FEATURES OF FINANCE

1. Investment Opportunities. In Finance, Investment can be explained as a


utilisation of money for profit or returns. Investment can be done by Creating
physical assets with the money (such as development of land, acquiring
commercial assets, etc.), Carrying on business activities (like manufacturing,
trading, etc.), and Acquiring financial securities (such as shares, bonds, units
of mutual funds, etc.).Investment opportunities are commitments of monetary
resources at different times with an expectation of economic returns in the
future.

2. Profitable Opportunities. In F inance, Profitable opportunities are considered


as an important aspiration (goal). Profitable opportunities signify that the firm must
utilize its available resources most efficiently under the conditions of cut-throat
competitive markets.Profitable opportunities shall be a vision. It shall not result in
short-term profits at the expense of long-termgains.
For example, business carried on with non-compliance of law, unethical ways of
acquiring the business, etc., usually may result in huge short-term profits but may also
hinder the smooth possibility of long-term gains and survival of business in the future.

RNS First Grade College 9


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

3. Optimal Mix of Funds. Finance is concerned with the best optimal mix of
funds in order to obtain the desired and determined results respectively. Primarily,
funds are of two types, namely, Owned funds (Promoter Contribution, Equity shares,
etc.), and Borrowed funds (Bank Loan, Bank overdraft, Debentures, etc).The
composition of funds should be such that it shall not result in loss of profits to the
Entrepreneurs (Promoters) and must recover the cost of business units effectively and
efficiently.

4. System of Internal Controls. Finance is concerned with internal controls


maintained in the organisation or workplace. Internal controls are set of rules and
regulations framed at the inception stage of the organisation, and they are altered as
per the requirement of its business. However, these rules and regulations are
monitored at various intervals to accomplish the same which have been consistently
followed.

5. Future Decision Making. Finance is concerned with the future decision of the
organisation. A "Good Finance” is an indicator of growth and good returns. This is
possible only with the good analytical decision of the organisation. However, the
decision shall be framed by giving more emphasis on the present and future
perspective (economic conditions) respectively.

SCOPE OF FINANCE
The academic discipline of finance includes the following specialized areas in its
scope.

1. Public Finance. Like business organizations, governments (local, state or federal)


raise and spend large sum of money, but unlike business organizations, they pursue
non-profit goals. To deal with governmental financial matters, a separate and
specialized field of finance has emerged as public finance.

RNS First Grade College 10


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

2. Securities and Investment Analysis. this area is of interest to individuals and


institutional investors. It covers mainly measurement of risk and return on investment
in securities.

3. Institutional Finance. Institutional finance deals with issues of capital formation


and the organizations that perform the financing function of the economy. Therefore,
it mainly studies saving and capital formation and institutions involved in this process
such as banks, insurance companies, provident and pension funds, etc.

4. International Finance. International finance studies economic transactions among


nations, corporations and individually internationally. It is concerned with flows of
money across international boundaries.

5. Financial Management. Business firms face problems dealing with acquisition of


funds and optimum methods of employing the funds. Thus, financial management
studies financial problems in individual firms, seeks low-cost funds and seeks
profitable business activities.

Conclusion on Finance

Owned funds (promoter contribution),


Raised funds (equity share, preference share, etc.), and
Borrowed funds (loans, debentures, overdrafts, etc.).At the same time,
Finance also encompasses wider perspective of managing the business generated
assets and other valuables more efficiently.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


Working capital (abbreviated WC) is a financial metric which represents operating
liquidity available to a business, organisation or other entity, including governmental
entity. Along with fixed assets such as plant and equipment, working capital is
considered a part of operating capital. Gross working capital is equal to current assets.
Working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. If current

RNS First Grade College 11


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

assets are less than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also
called as working capital deficit.

A company can be endowed with assets and profitability but short of liquidity if its
assets cannot readily be converted into cash. Positive working capital is required to
ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient funds to
satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. The
management of working capital involves managing inventories, accounts receivable
and payable, and cash. The basic calculation of the working capital is done on the
basis of the gross current assets of the firm.

Definition: Working capital, also called net working capital, is a liquidity ratio that
measures a company’s ability to pay off its current liabilities with its current assets.
Working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets.

Working capital management


Decisions relating to working capital and short-term financing are referred to as
working capital management. These involve managing the relationship between a
firm's short-term assets and its short-term liabilities. The goal of working capital
management is to ensure that the firm is able to continue its operations and that it has
sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming
operational expenses. A managerial accounting strategy focusing on maintaining
efficient levels of both components of working capital, current assets and current
liabilities, in respect to each other. Working capital management ensures a company
has sufficient cash flow in order to meet its short-term debt obligations and operating
expenses. There are a few calculations we have to discuss in regards to working
capital management. To calculate working capital, a company would take current
assets and subtract current liabilities

Need for Working Capital:


In order to earn sufficient profits, a firm has to depend on its sales activities apart
from others. We know that sales are not always converted into cash immediately, i.e.,
there is a time-lag between the sale of a product and the realization of cash.So, an

RNS First Grade College 12


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

adequate amount of working capital is required by a firm in the form of different


current assets, for its activities to continue uninterrupted and to tackle the problems
that may arise because of the time-lag.

Classification of Working Capital:


The working capital admits of two broad classifications,
(a) Regular or Fixed or Core or Permanent Working Capital;
(b) Variable or Seasonal or Temporary Working Capital.

(a) Regular or Fixed or Core or Permanent Working Capital:


The amount of current assets which are kept by a firm in hand day-in and day
out, i.e., throughout the year is designated as Regular or Fixed Working
Capital. In other words, in order to maintain the normal day-to-day activities, a
certain minimum level of working capital is required on a continuous and
uninterrupted basis which will have to be met permanently along with other
fixed assets; they are considered as fixed working capital. On the other hand,
due to seasonal variation/fluctuation, investment in raw materials, W-I-P,
finished products will fluctuate or fall In consequence, this portion of the
working capital is required in order to meet such fluctuation. It can also be
stated that any amount over and above the permanent level of working capital
is Variable or Seasonal or Temporary Working Capital. We know that both
fixed and variable working capital is required to maintain the production and
sales activities. Practically, variable working capital is required to meet the
liquidity requirements for short-term obligation.

difference between the fixed and variable working capital


(a) Permanent and Temporary Working Capital.
It is quite clear from the that permanent working capital is constant but
variable working capital fluctuates i.e., sometimes increasing or sometimes
decreasing according to seasonal demands of the product.

RNS First Grade College 13


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

For a growing/expanding firm, the permanent working capital line may not be
horizontal since demand for permanent current assets is increasing or
decreasing.

(b) Variable or Seasonal or Temporary Working Capital.


The firms which are seasonal in character in their business need a large
amount of working capital for holding inventory during the peak period. But,
as soon as the peak period is over, their working capital becomes idle.In the
circumstances, such firms do not prefer to finance working capital by long-
term sources as this exposes them to cost with no return therefore - during the
slack session. Therefore, firms having seasonality in their business find it
convenient to meet their working capital requirements by resorting to short-
term sources, such as:

 Bank Loan;
 Public Deposits;
 Trade Credit and Other Payables;
 Provision for Taxation;
 Depreciation Provisions, etc.

Determinants of Working Capital:

(a) Nature and Size of Business: The requirements of working capital of a firm
are widely related to the nature and size of the business unit. For example,
trading and financial firms require a large amount of investment in working
capital but a significantly smaller amount of investment in fixed
assets.Similarly, a service oriented firm, e.g., transport or electricity
generation, needs a modest working capital requirement since it has a very
short operating cycle and sales are made on cash basis.
But in the case of manufacturing concern which sells its product on credit
basis and has a long operating cycle, needs a large amount of working capital.

RNS First Grade College 14


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

(b) Production/Manufacturing Cycle: production cycle involves the time lag


which require from the manufacture of goods to the finished product. Here,
time-lag includes from the procurement of raw materials (including processing
time) to the production of finished goods and thus funds are blocked in
materials, labour and overhead till the finished products are come out. There is
a time-lag or gap between the procurement of raw materials and the
production/sale of finished goods. For this purpose, working capital is
absolutely required. Thus, the longer the time-lag either in the storage of raw
material, or in the processing period or in the finished product, the more will
be the requirements of working capital and vice-versa in the operations.

(c) Business Fluctuation/Cycle: The requirements of working capital of a firm


are largely affected by the seasonal and cyclical fluctuations which have a
direct impact, particularly on the temporary working capital.

(d) Production Policy: The requirements of working capital are also largely
affected by the production policy of the firm. Because in the case of a seasonal
product, the firm has to concentrate on the two options — viz., either to
purchase raw materials for manufacturing finished products for certain months
of the year when the market is ready for sale, or, to produce articles
throughout the year.

(e) Growth and Expansions: It is needless to say that if a firm extends its
production capabilities, more additional funds are required by way of fixed
capital investments and current assets investments as well although it is really
difficult to ascertain precisely the relationship between the production volume
and the needs of working capital.

(f) Credit Policy of the Firms: We know amount of book-debts depend on the
credit period allowed by the firm to its customer. If more credit period is
allowed, the more will be the requirement of working capital. From the start-
point of liquidity and financial strength, we should grant always less credit
period i.e., the firm should be prompt in making collections. Industry average

RNS First Grade College 15


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

norms should be followed although it may be varied from the customer to


customer depending on their personal behaviour and trend.

Components of Working Capital:

There are two components of working capital; viz., Current Assets and Current
Liabilities.
(a) Current Assets:
Asset is termed as current asset when it is acquired either for the purpose of selling or
disposing of after taking some required benefit through the process of manufacturing
or which constantly changes in form and contributes to transactions take place with
the operation of the businesses, although such asset does not continue for long in the
same form As for instance. is often parted with in exchange of goods or services or in
repayment of certain liability, say Creditor. Similarly, Debtors as asset yield place to
Cash on realization or Stock-in-trade is replaced by Cash or Debtors on its sale, the
former in case of cash sales and the latter is case of credit sales. So, they are not only
short lived but also change their form and one type of assets can easily be converted
into another, say Cash is converted into Raw Materials, Raw Materials into Work-in-
Progress, Work-in-Progress into Finished Products and Finished Products into
Debtors in case of credit sales and Debtors into Cash. That is why, they are also
defined as circulating assets. Time required for ultimate conversion of any
component of current assets into cash is normally taken to be one year or less. Now-a-
days, this concept has suffered a little bit of change. It is not essential that current
assets should always be converted into cash immediately. It may also be lost or
consumed. For example, when salaries and wages are paid in cash, a part of cash is
consumed and does not create any current asset through transformation directly. But
when Cash is received from Debtors, Debtors are converted into Cash, Debtors here
are not consumed but transformed or rather converted. The period of conversion in
this case is also reckoned to be one operating cycle of the business instead of one
year.

RNS First Grade College 16


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The list of current assets comprises:

Inventories (including Raw Materials, Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods and


Spares), Sundry Debtors including Receivables (but net of provisions), Readily
Realizable Securities and Tax Reserve Certificates, Short-term Investments, Accrued
Incomes, Prepaid Expenses (not in the nature of ‘deferred charge’) Cash at Bank and
Cash in hand.

(c) Current Liabilities: Current liabilities are those which are repayable or
liquidated within a short period of time by the use of the existing resources of
current assets or by the creation of similar current liabilities. The short-period
concerned is used to refer to a period not exceeding one year from the Balance
Sheet date. But accountants at present, as in the case of current assets, are
inclined to assess current liabilities also with reference to the normal operating
cycle of the business so far as the time period is concerned. Liabilities which
fall due after a comparatively long period are known as fixed or long-term
liabilities. As distinguished from current liabilities, fixed liabilities are,
therefore, those which are not repayable within one year of the Balance Sheet
date’, or normal operating cycle of the business.

Management of working capital

Management will use a combination of policies and techniques for the management of
working capital. The policies aim at managing the current assets (generally cash and
cash equivalents, inventories and debtors) and the short-term financing, such that cash
flows and returns are acceptable.
 Cash management. Identify the cash balance which allows for the
business to meet day to day expenses, but reduces cash holding costs.
 Inventory management. Identify the level of inventory which allows for
uninterrupted production but reduces the investment in raw materials-and
minimizes reordering costs-and hence increases cash flow. Besides this,
the lead times in production should be lowered to reduce work in progress
(WIP) and similarly, the finished goods should be kept on as low level as

RNS First Grade College 17


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

possible to avoid overproduction—see supply chain management,just in


time (JIT); economic order quantity(EOQ); Economic quantity
 Debtors management. Identify the appropriate credit policy i.e. credit
terms which will attract customers, such that any impact on cash flows and
the cash conversion cycle will be offset by increased revenue and hence
Return on Capital (or vice versa); see discounts and allowances
 Short-term financing. Identify the appropriate source of financing, given
the cash conversion cycle: the inventory is ideally financed by credit
granted by the supplier; however, it may be necessary to utilize a bank
loan (or overdraft), or to "convert debtors to cash" through factoring

Importance of working capital

Working capital is a vital part of a business and can provide the following advantages
to a business:

(a) higher return on capital Firms with lower working capital will post a higher
return on capital so shareholders will benefit from a higher return for every dollar
invested in the business.

(b) Improve credit profile and solvency. The ability to meet short-term obligations
is a prerequisite to long-term solvency and often a good indication of counterparty
credit risk. Adequate working capital management will allow a business to pay on
time its short-term obligations which could include raw materials, salaries, and other
operating expenses.

(c) high profitability. According to a research conducted by Tauringana and


Adjapong Afrifa, the management of account payables and receivables is an important
driver of small businesses’ profitability.

(d) high liquidity. A large amount of cash can be tied up in working capital, so a
company managing it efficiently could benefit from additional liquidity and be less
dependent on external financing. This is especially important for smaller businesses as

RNS First Grade College 18


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

they typically have a limited access to external funding sources. Also, small
businesses often pay their bills in cash from earnings so an efficient working capital
management will allow a business to better allocate its resources and improve its cash
management.

(e) increased business value. Firms with more efficient working capital management
will generate more free cash flows which will result in a higher business valuation and
enterprise value.

(f) favourable financing condition. A firm with a good relationship with its trade
partners and paying its suppliers on time will benefit from favorable financing terms
such as discount payments from its suppliers and banking partners.

Receivable 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 of customers. A firm
grants trade credit: To protect its sales from the competitors and, To attract the
potential customers to buy its product at favourable terms. Trade credit creates
account receivable. The customers from whom receivables or book debt have to be
collected in near future are called as trade debtors or simply as debtors and represent
the firm‟s claim or asset. The credit sales have three characteristics:-

It involves an element of risk that should be carefully analyzed


Credit sales is based on economic value The buyer will make the cash payment for
good or services received by him in a future period

Debtors constitute a substantial portion of current assets of several firms. Trade


debtors are the major part of current assets. The interval between the date of sale and
the payment has to be financed out from working capital of an organization. This
necessitates the firm to get funds from banks or other sources. Thus, trade debtors

RNS First Grade College 19


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

represent investment. If substantial amounts are tied-up in trade debtors; it needs


careful analysis and proper management.

Inventory Management

“Inventory refers to the stockpile of the products a firm is offering for the sale and the
components that make up the product”. In other words, inventory management is a
process of maintaining the raw materials when entered in the company till it is
converted into finished goods. The importance of keeping the right level of inventory
lies in the fact that a maximum proportion of working capital remains blocked in the
inventory until it is completely sold off and debtors realized.

Objectives:
To minimize investments in inventory
To meet a demand for the product by efficiently organizing the production and sales
operation Thus the objective of the inventory management is to maintain an optimum
level of inventory at right place with minimum of cost to avoid a stock out option.
Maintaining optimum level of inventory also has other benefits like: Meeting the
market demand when it arises Meeting the unexpected demand when it
arises Handling seasonal or cyclical fluctuations Customer satisfaction Minimizing
cost of sales so that affordability of sales remains

Cost of holding inventory:

Those cost that arise due to storing of inventory (Carrying Cost) The opportunity
cost of fund olding costs are the costs associated with storing inventory that remains
unsold, and these costs are one component of total inventory costs, along with
ordering costs and shortage costs. A firm’s holding costs include the cost of goods
damaged or spoiled, as well as the cost of storage space, labor and insurance.
Minimizing inventory costs is an important supply chain management strategy.

RNS First Grade College 20


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

!--break--Inventory and accounts receivable are two asset accounts that may require a
large amount of cash, and decisions about inventory spending reduce the amount of
cash available for other purposes. For example, increasing the inventory balance by
$10,000 means that less cash is available to operate the business each month. This
situation is considered an opportunity cost.
Factoring in Inventory Turnover
One way to ensure a company has sufficient cash to operate is to sell inventory and
collect payments quickly. The sooner cash is collected from customers, the less total
cash the firm must come up with to continue operations. Businesses measure the
frequency of cash collections using the inventory turnover ratio, which is (cost of
goods sold) / (inventory). For example, a company that has $1 million in cost of
goods sold and an inventory balance of $200,000 has a turnover ratio of 5. The goal is
to increase sales and reduce the required amount of inventory, so that the turnover
ratio increases.

Examples of Holding Costs


Assume that ABC Manufacturing produces furniture that is stored in a warehouse and
then shipped to retailers. ABC must either lease or purchase warehouse space, and
pay for utilities, insurance and security for the location. The company must also pay
staff to move inventory into the warehouse, and then load the sold merchandise onto
trucks for shipping. The firm incurs some risk that the furniture may be damaged as it
is moved into and out of the warehouse.

Another important strategy to minimize holding costs and other inventory spending is
to calculate a reorder point, or the level of inventory that alerts the company to order
more inventory from a supplier. An accurate reorder point allows the firm to fill
customer orders without overspending on inventory. Companies that use a recorder
point avoid shortage costs, which is the risk of losing a customer order due to low
inventory levels. The reorder point considers how long it takes to receive an order
from a supplier, and the weekly or monthly level of product sales. A reorder point
also helps the business compute the economic order quantity (EOQ), or the ideal
amount of inventory that should be ordered from a supplier. EOQ can be calculated
using inventory software.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Benefits of holding inventory:

There are various benefits of holding inventory-


Benefits in Purchasing Benefits in Production Benefits in Work in Process Benefits
in Sales Inventory includes all types of stocks. For effective working capital
management, inventory needs to be managed effectively. The level of inventory
should be such that the total cost of ordering and holding inventory is the least.
Simultaneously, stock out costs should also be minimized. Business, therefore, should
fix the minimum safety stock level, reorder level and ordering quantity so that the
inventory cost is reduced and its management becomes efficient. The basic
responsibility of the finance manager is to make sure the firms cash flows are
managed efficiently. Efficient management of inventory should ultimately result in
the maximization of the owner‟s wealth. In order to minimize cash requirements,
inventory should be turned over as quickly as possible, avoiding stock-outs that might
result in closing down the production line or lead to loss of sales.

Liquidity and Cash Management


Cash is the lifeline of an organization. A sustained growth of an organization
depends on the cash ability of the profit, not the profit per se as reflected in the
income statement. The rising profit curve of an organization may mislead managers
into high rates of growth, which are unsustainable due to the actual cash position of
the company. This leads to continuous erosion of liquidity and may even make a
company sick. There has not been much of cash management in Indian enterprises
due to easy availability of working capital finance from banks. However, recently,
cash management as a discipline is emerging in the country.
Three main activities contribute to the cash flow.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Various working capital ratios used by me are as follows:

1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS:

Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its current obligations as and when
these become due. The short-term obligations are met by realizing amounts from
current, floating or circulating assets. Following are the ratios which can help to
assess the ability of a firm to meet its current liabilities.

 Current ratio

 Acid Test Ratio / Quick Ratio / Liquidity Ratio

 Absolute liquid ratio

2. TURNOVER/ACTIVITY RATIOS:

These are the ratios which indicate the speed with which assets are converted or
turned over into sales.

 Inventory Turnover Ratio.

 Debtors/ Accounts receivables Turnover Ratio.

 Creditors/Accounts Payables Turnover Ratio.

 Working Capital Turnover Ratio.

3. Statement of change in working capital (2012-2017)

INVENTORY LEVEL. (4.2)

Inventory is the raw materials, work-in-process products and finished goods that are
considered to be the portion of a business's assets that are ready or will be ready for
sale. Inventory represents one of the most important assets of a business because the
turnover of inventory represents one of the primary sources of revenue generation and
subsequent earnings for the company's shareholders.

Cash and bank balance level. (4.3)

The main concern in this area is to establish the existence of the balances and more
recently due to failures in several financial institutions in Kenya valuation of these
balances. The client will produce a reconciliation of the cash book and the bank
statement. These are checked by the auditor paying particular attention to the
reconciling items. These should be genuine reconciling items. Unpresented cheques
and uncleared lodgements should appear on the bank statements early in the new year,
say within two weeks of the year end. If they do not appear, then these should be
investigated as manipulation or fraud could be indicated. Material unpresented
cheques could indicate that the bank balance is being distorted for balance sheet
purposes as a high balance is indicated of poor utilisation of cash and may reflect
adversely upon the directors. Uncleared lodgements present a more serious threat of
fraud or distortion. Banks normally clear lodgements within a week, therefore if after
a week we have uncleared lodgements that are not up country, cheques, then the
position displayed may be probably fictitious. They could have been inserted by
management to conceal a shaky liquidity position or by an employee to conceal a
misappropriation elsewhere.
