OBJECTIVES OF WORKING CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT
THE BASIC OBJECTIVE OF WORKING CAPITAL IS TO PROVIDEADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR SMOOTH FUNCTIONING OF NORMALBUSINESS OPERATIONS OF A COMPANY
THE QUANTUM OF INVESTMENTS IN CURRENT ASSETS HAS TO
BE MADE IN A MANNER THAT IS NOT ONLY MEETS THE NEEDS OFTHE FORECASTED SALES BUT ALSO PROVIDES A BUILT-INCUSHION IN THE FORM OF SAFETY STOCKS TO MEETUNFORSEEN CONTEGENCIES ARISING OUT OF FACTORS SUCHAS:- DELAYS IN ARRIVAL OF RAW MATERIALS; SUDDEN SPURT IN
SALES DEMAND
CONSEQUENTLY, THE INVESTMENT IN CURRENT ASSETS FOR AGIVEN LEVEL OF FORCASTED SALES WILL BE HIGHER IF THEMANAGEMENT FOLLOWS AN AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE

THUS A COMPANY FOLLOWING CONSERVATIVE APPROACHIS SUBJECTED TO A LOWER DEGREE OF RISK, THEN THEONE FOLLOWING AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH.
SO HIGH AMOUNT OF INVESTMENTS IN CURRENT ASSETSIMPARTS GREATER DEGREE OF LIQUIDITY TO THECOMPANY.
THE LARGER THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT IN CURRENTASSETS, THE SMALLER WILL BE THE AMOUNT AVAILABLEFOR INVESTMENT IN OTHER PROFITABLE AVENUES.
THEREFORE THE FIRM FOLLOWING A CONSERVATIVEPOLICY WILL HAVE A LOW PERCENTAGE OF OPERATINGPROFITABLITY COMPARED TO ITS COUNTER-PARTSFOLLOWING AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH.

CHOOSING THE PATTERN OF FINANCING
IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS THE COMPANY
WILL USSUALLY HAVE ACCESS TO NON-INTEREST BEARINGSHORT TERM LIABILITIES SUCH AS SUNDRY CREDITORS;ACCRUED EXPENSES; AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES ASALSO PROVISIONS TOWARDS FINANCING CURRENT ASSETS.
THESE ARE CALLED SPONTANEOUS LIABILITIES AS THEYARISE MORE OR LESS AUTOMATICALLY IN THE CONTEXT OFCURRENT ASSTES
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNTS OF CURRENT
ASSETS AND SPONTANEOUS LIABILITIES NEEDS TO BEFINANCED BY COMBINATION OF BANK BORROWING IN THEFORM OF CASH CREDITS/OVERDRAFT ARRANGEMENT ANDLONG TERM SOURCES OF FINANCE SUCH AS DEBENTUREAND EQUITY CAPITAL.

An aggressive financing policy will tend tofinancing mix tilted in favour of bank borrowings
and public deposits compared to a conservativepolicy tilted more towards long term sources
So , we can conclude that working capitalmanagement encompasses the management of
current assets and means of financing them.The objective is to balance the liquidity and
profitability criteria , while taking into
consideration the attitude of managementtowards risk and constraints imposed by thebanking sector while providing short termfinance in the form of cash credit / bank
overdraft .

STATIC VIEW Gross working capital is equal to the total of all current
assets . Net working capital is difference between gross w/cand current liabilities
An important characteristics of C/A is conventionallyconsidered to be their convertibility into cash within a singleaccounting year unlike fixed assets which provide the
production capacity for the manufacture of finished goodsfor sale . Current liabilities arise in the context and henceare derived from current assets
Conventionally current liabilities are of short term nature andcome up for payment within a single accounting year
Consequently lot of emphasis is traditionally placed on thecurrent assets vis a vis current liabilities usually 2 : 1 currentratio is considered ideal

1. C/A , C/L are on a specified data , they fail to givedynamic view.
2. Balance sheet of a company is prepared as per
schedule vi of companies act ; therefore followingdeficiencies remain3. C/C and O/D are of short term borrowings , they do
not figure in C/L4. Unsecured short term loans such as public
deposits are also shown separately under the headunsecured loans
5. C/A do not include the short term treasurysecurities which are marketable and the main aimwas to improve liquidity

CASH CYCLE
The investment in w/c is influenced by thefollowing events in the operating cycle of the

The firm begins with the purchase of raw material which are paidfor after a delay which represents the account payableperiod.The firm converts the raw material into finished goods
and then sells the same . The time lag between the purchase ofraw material and sale of finished goods is the inventoryperiod.Customers pay their bill sometime after the sales .Theperiod elapses between the date of sale and date of collection ofreceiavables in the account receivable period.
The time that elapses between the raw material and collection ofcash for sales is referred to as the operating cycle whereas thetime length between the payment for raw material for purchaseand collection of cash for sales is referred to as the cash cycle
Thus operating cycle is the sum of the Inventory period and theaccounts receivable period, whereas the cash cycle is equal tothe operating cycle less the accounts payable period .
From financial statements, we can estimate the Inventory period,
the accounts receivable period and the accounts payable period.

Solution:-
(1.) Inventory period = Avg. InventoryAnnual costof goods sold 365
= (96 + 102) / 2720/365
= 50.1 DAYS
(2.) A/c Receivable Period = Avg. A/c ReceivableAnnual Sales / 365
= ( 86 +90 ) / 2
800/365
= 40.2 DAYS

(3.) A/c Payable Period = Avg. A/c PayableAnnual Costof goods sold 365

Operating Cycle = Inventory + A/c Receivableperiod period
= 50.1 + 40.2= 90.3 DAYS
