A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
The on the job training is an integral part of MBA course which
gives the student a practical knowledge about the functioning
of an organization. The main objective of the training is to
provide a platform to learn and acquire different business skills
from the professionals. It teaches the students to adapt
themselves to various challenges in the work front, which helps
to develop professionalism within them. The sole objective ofthis project was to analyze the working capital management of
Rourkela steel Plant (RSP) for four years from 2005-06 to 2008-
09. Working capital involves deciding upon the amount and
composition of current asset and the manner in which to
finance them. Determining the appropriate levels of working
capital involves fundamental decisions with regard to the firm's
liquidity and trade off between risk and profitability. Greater the
amount of working capital level maintained, the lesser is the
risk of running out of cash, although profitability will be less, in
case of lower level working capital, the profitability will be
greater but the risk of running out of capital to meet the day-to-
day requirement will be more.
This two and half months of training gave me valuable
information about the Rourkela Steel Plant, its performance,
liquidity position, sales, funds availability, working capital
requirement, etc. The area of study is as follows:
1. Analyzing the working capital of RSP.
2. Measuring the operating cycle.
3. Ratio analysis.

A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
Steel Industry is a booming industry in the whole world. Steel Industry is
becoming more and more competitive with every passing day. The
increasing demand for it was mainly generated by the developmentproject that has been going on along the world, especially the
infrastructural works and real estate projects that has been on the boom
around the developing countries.
During the period 1960s to late 1980s, the steel market used to be
dominated by OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development) countries. Steel Industry was till recently dominated by the
United Sates of America but this scenario is changing with a rapid
pace with the Indian steel companies on an acquisition spree. Butwith the fast
Emergence of developing countries like china, India and South Korea
in this sector has led to slipping market share of OECD countries.
The balance of trade line is also tilting towards these countries.
It has been observed that steel industry has grown tremendously in
the last one and a half decade with a strong financial condition. The
increasing need of steel by the developing countries for its
infrastructural projects has pushed the companies in this industry
near their operative capacity
INTRODUCTION:- Steel Industry in India is on an upswingbecause of the strong global and domestic demand. India's rapideconomic growth and soaring demand by sectors likeinfrastructure, real estate and automobiles, at home and abroad,has put Indian steel industry on the global map. According to thelatest report by International Iron and Steel Institute (MSI), India is theseventh largest steel producer in the world. The Indian steel industryis organized in three categories i.e., main producers, other majorproducers and the secondary producers. The main producers andother major producers have integrated steel making facility with
plant capacities over 0.5 mT and utilize iron ore and coal/gas forproduction of steel. The main producers are Tata Steel, SAIL, and

RINL, while the other major producers are ESSAR, ISPAT and JVSL.
PRODUCTION :- Steel production grew at 1.2 percent in theJanuary-march quarter of 2008-09 over the same period last year.The fourth quarter saw most of the large steel companies such asSAIL, Tata Steel, Essar and JSW operating at full capacity.
The national steel policy has a target for taking steel production upto 110 MT by 2019-20. The ministry of steel has projected India'ssteel capacity to touch 124.06 MT by 2011-12. In, based on thestatus of Memoranda Of Understanding (MOUs) signed by theprivate producers with the various state government, India's steelcapacity is likely to be 293 MT by 2020.
CONSUMPTION :-lndia is the 5th largest consumer of steel in
the world. It consumes about 1.5 MT of stainless steel a year witharound 70 percent accounting for kitchenware. However, its usesin railway coaches, wagon, airport, hotel and retail stores isgrowing immensely. Demand for steel in India is likely to grow ataround 12 percent against the' global average of 5-6 percent. Steelconsumption grew at 3.8 percent in the January-March quarter of2008-09 over the same period last year.
A credit Suisse Group study states that India steel consumption will
continue to grow by 16 percent annually till by 2012, fuelled bydemand for construction projects worth US s 1 Trillion
EXPORT :- Out of India's annual iron-ore production ofmore than 200MT, about 5 to 12.6 MT in February 2009 from 10.8 MT in thesame month a year ago, owing to moderate revival in demandfrom Chinese steel producer.
INVESTMENTS :- A host of steel companies have lined upmajor investment proposals. Furthermore, with an expandingconsumer market, the Indian steel industry is likely to receivedomestic and foreign investments.
1. According to Investment Commission of India, investmentsof over US$ 30 billion is in the pipeline over the next 5years.
2. Japan's Sumitomo Metal Industry, is planning to build a
blast furnace steel plant in India with mid- tier producerBhushan steel investing as much as US $ 3 billion.

3. Arcelor- Mittal, the largest steel maker of the world, isplanning to set up a captive port near Paradip in Orissa.
The port will be used to serve to mega integrated steelplants of the company proposed in Orissa and Jharkhand.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES :- Subsequently the recentfall in international prices of commodities and to protect Indianproducer, the Indian government has announced somechanges in the custom duty rates, which were effective fromNovember 2008. Iron and steel products like pig iron,spiegeleisen, semi-finished products, flat products and longproducts are now subject to a basic custom duty of 5 per centad valorem.
CONCLUSION :. The outlook for Indian steel industry isvery bright. India's lower wages and favourable energy priceswill continue to promise substantial cost advantages comparedto production facilities in (Western) Europe or the US. It is alsoexpected that steel industry will undergo a process ofconsolidation since industry players are engage in anunfettered rush for scale. This is evident from the recentacquisition of Corus by Tata. The deployment of modernproduction systems is also enabling Indian steel companies to
improve the quality of their steel.

India limited (SAIL) has always believed in structured planningfor achieving organization growth. This has also contributedsignificantly to national interests, given the steel sector's strongbackward and forward linkages. Changes in businessenvironment call for periodical review of long term plans. In thebackdrop of the upheavals faced by the global steel business inthe recent past, the general perception that the current phaseof buoyancy in the market will last for a longer time- span, andmarket growth projections of around 13%, SAIL felt it necessarya long term perspective plan for itself, superceding the lastsuch plan drawn up in 1992.'corporate plan- 2012', which hasbeen drawn up as a consequence, provides a blueprint for thecompany's growth in the coming years in tandem with agrowing market. By 2012, the consumption of steel in india is
expected to reach around 55 to 60 million tones (MT), nearlydouble the current level. Given its available infrastructure andskill base, SAIL has the comparative advantage to supplyadditional volumes at the most competitive cost to the nation.Besides, the centre for policy research, in its November 2002report dealing with perspectives up to 2025, indicates that theconstruction, cold-reducing and oil &gas transportationsegments are poised for major growth in India. TMT Bars &Rods,structural, HR/CR Coils, plates and pipes have been identified as
the key growth products for the domestic steel industry. ForSAIL which is an established and significant player in theseproducts segments, the scenario holds a huge potential forgrowth. Corporate Plan 2012 envisages enhancement in SAIL'sdomestic market share from the current level of around 50% (itis estimated that in 2003-04 steel consumption in the countrycrossed 100MT) to around 47% (of the projected 100-150 MT)through a mix of measures, including stepped- up production,further intensification of market- orientation, and improved andmultiple managerial interventions to optimize resource u SAIL
has estimated that the measures to be taken to achieve thetargeted levels of growth and sustain higher levels of cost andquality competitiveness will require investment in the region ofrs 25000 crore by 2011-12. The immediate priority schemes, tobe taken/ completed by 2006-07, have been estimated to bearound RS4300 crore. The capital expenditure envisaged will befinanced mainly through internal accruals, and will besupplemented by market borrowing if the need arises. Care willbe taken to ensure that the company's debt-equity ratio attains.

integrated steel plants for increase in Hot Metal production to 20 MT
by 2012. After merger of in IISCO February 2006, the Hot Metal
production Plan was revised to 22.5 Mt by 2012. Expansion of
Special Steel Plants was also included. Besides capacity
enhancement, the plan also addresses the need of SAIL Plants
towards eliminating technological obsolescence, energy savings,
enriching product mix, pollution control, developing mines &
collieries to meet higher requirement of key raw materials, introduce
customer centric processes and have matching infrastructure
facilities in the Plant to support higher production volumes.
Investment to the tune of Rs 34,982 crore was envisaged under the
Corporate Plan. It was envisaged to take up the Projects in
segregated manner based on the Techno-economic viability of each
project.
The Govt, of India under the ablest leadership of the then PrimeMinister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, decided to set up large SteelPlants by the Govt, itself after the general election of 1952.Rourkela and its adjacent areas are rich in iron ores, manganese,dolomite and limestone's, the basic materials for production ofiron and steel. Considering Rourkela to be best place for a steelplant, the survey work was completed in the year 1954.
The infrastructure work of the plant was accomplished inbetween 1955 and 1960. Almost thirty-two villages were

alienated and the people of the villages were resettled. TheRepublic of Germany extended technical knows how for theconstruction of the steel plant and the plant was considered a
joint venture of the Govts. Of Indian and Germany. The initialproduction limit of one million tones steel per annum was raised
to 1.8 million tones in the subsequent years. The internationallyreputed firms like the Krrups, Dimag, G.H.H. Sag, Scholomen,Cemens and Voist Eipine etc. Supplied different machines andmachinery parts to the plant at the beginning stage. TheRourkela Steel Plant took the part of leadership in the process ofsteel production under L.D. techniques. It could also establisheditself as one of the premier industries of the world under thesystem of basic oxygen converter.
The extension work of the plant was over by the year 1968. Acircular welding pipe plant and special plate plant were set up inthe decade of seventies for production of different ready-madematerials. To avoid scarcity of power supply the plant set up apower plant by itself with a capacity of 120 M.W. The powerplant is able to cater the requirement of power supply from theyear 1986.
The modernization of Rourkela steel plant was begun in themonth of August 1988 with a view to producing qualitative
materials and establishing its importance in the world market.The process of modernization entailed an expenditure outlay ofrupees 4500 cores. Some nine main packages including someancillary packages were executed at the first phase. This phaserevamped the process of supply of raw materials, new oxygenplant, improved techniques in blast furnaces, selling of dolomiteplant, Cast house slag glandular plant, supply of raw materialstwo number of Sintering plant and coal handling plants etc.
Similarly with the implementation of some sophisticatedsystems in the second phase of modernization Rourkela SteelPlant could get the status squo of a modern industrial unit in theworld.
The materials being produced from the Steel Plant are steel ingots, iron sheets, ultra thin plates, electric steel plates, coldrolled coils, hot rolled coils, tin plates and different kinds of pipesetc. The byproducts of the plant are fertilizer "Sona", bitumenand benjol etc.

PRODUCT USES:-Steel as a basic building block will determine
growth over several other sectors. Every attention thus needs
to be given to steeping up capacity for steel. There is an urgent
need to balance the interest of the producers and the
consumers of steel.On flat products widely used by a variety of
consumers industries, the increase has been by around 60%
from around Rs 14000 to over rs 22000 per tones. On certain
special steels used by automobile component manufacturers
the increased from around rs 15600 per tones to around
rs23000 per tones during November- aug2003. With thepressure of completing construction within the stipulated time,
on grounds of penalties for delays this segment depends on the
market for its daily requirement and hence, seems to suffer the
most.Hr coils are used in number of engineering application.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES:-
SAIL has been one of the navartnas of the PSU. So the
government has been keen towards the growth in this sector.
The government is revising its policies from time to time to help
revive the steel industry in India. We can site the government
initiative to increase the consumption of steel in the
construction sector in India. The housing construction that
constitutes about 3-5% of GDP in developed countries, in India
it is just about 1%. In order to produce it the government has
announced several schemes such as Valmiki Ambedkar Awas
Yojna, Indira Awas Yojana, Birla Awas Yojana, through NGOs and
self - help groups, etc. apart from it the development of national
highway development programme will also increase the
demand of steel.The iron and steel sector has received variousincentives to promote exports in the current EXIM policy (2002-
2007). First the quantitative restrictions on exports have been
removed except in the case of a few sensitive items. Second
the setting up of overseas banking units in special Economic
Zones has been permitted. Third the duty matters.

suspended in March 04, it had proved to be quite beneficial in
helping exporters increase their overseas market. The most
important move has been the abolition of duty Exemption
Entitlement scheme in order to reduce the transaction time.
The.other promotional measures relates to the tariff structure.
The tariffs saw a sharp reduction (25% to 50%) in the
liberalization era, opening up
the domestic sector to international competition. To safeguardthe interest of the domestic producers, the government tried toenhance domestic production by reducing the import of rawmaterials to as low as 5% (non-coking coal, met coke, nickel )and even nil ( cooking coal). Also the advance licensing schemehas been introduced which allows duty free import of rawmaterial for exports. A steel exporters forum has also been setup to meet the need of producers and exporters and to resolveissues problems and bottlenecks related to exports.

INTRODUCATION
Working capital refers to the quantum of capital resource abusiness requires for day-to-day operations, or, more
specifically, for financing the conversion of raw materials intofinished goods, which the company ultimately sells in themarket for payment. Among the most important items ofworking capital are levels of inventory, accounts receivable, andaccounts payable. Analysts look at these items for signs of acompany's efficiency and financial strength. The better acompany manages its working capital, the less the companyneeds to borrow. Even companies with cash surpluses need tomanage working capital to ensure that those surpluses areinvested in ways that will generate suitable returns forinvestors.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

37/83
A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
Working capital is vital to a business. They have to have fundsavailable to pay their day to day bills, wages and so on. It isvery important to a company to manage its working capitalcarefully. This is particularly true where there is a substantialtime lag between making the product and receiving the money
for it. In this situation the company has paid out all the costsassociated with making the product (labour, raw materials andso on) but not yet got any money for it. They must thereforeensure they have enough cash to do this.
THEORETICAL ASPECT OF WORKING CAPITAL
One of the most important areas in the day to-daymanagement of firms is the management of working capital.Working capital management is a significant fact of financialmanagement. Its importance stems from two reasons:
Investment in current assets represents a substantial
portion of total investment.
Investment current assets and the level of current
liabilities have to be geared quickly to changes in sales. To
be sure, fixed assets investment and long term financing
are also responsive to variation in sales. However, this
relationship is not as close and direct as it is in the case of
working capital components.
CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL
There are two concepts ofworking capital:
Gross working capital
Net working capital
GROSS WORKING CAPITAL
The gross working capital refers to the firm's investment incurrent assets.Current assets are the assets which can be converted into cashwithin an Accounting year. The term Gross Working Capitalmeans the total currentassets.
P a g e | 37

8/6/2019 Renu Final Edited
38/83
A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
Gross Working Capital = Total CurrentAssets
The total Current assets are:-
Cash in handCash at BankMarketable securitiesShort term investmentsBills receivableSundry Debtors InventoriesWork in process
NET WORKING CAPITAL
Net working capital refers to the difference between currentassets and current liabilities.Net working capital is the excess ofcurrent assets over current liabilities. The net working capitalmay be positive or negative. A positive net working capital willarise when current assets exceed current liabilities. A negativenet working capital occurs when current liabilities are in excess
of current assets. Net working capital=current assets - currentliabilitiesNet working capital is a qualitative concept. It indicates theliquidity position of the firm and suggests the extent to whichworking capital needs may be financed by permanent sourcesof funds. Current assets should be sufficiently in excess ofcurrent liabilities to constitute a margin or buffer for maturingobligations within the ordinary operating cycle of a business. Inorder to protect their interest, short- term creditors always likea company to maintain current assets at a higher level than
current liabilities. It is a conventional rule to maintain the levelof current assets twice the level of current liabilities. A weakliquidity position poses a threat to the solvency of the companyand makes it unsafe and unsound. A negative working capitalmeans a negative liquidity and may prove to be harmful for thecompany reputation. Excessive liquidity is also bad because itrequires servicing which puts burden on the company'sprofitability. It may be due to mismanagement of currentassets.
CURRENT LIABILITIESCurrent liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are

expected to mature for payments within an accounting yearand include creditors (account payable), bill payable, andoutstanding expenses.
The total current liabilities are:-
Sundry creditors
Outstanding Bills Payable
Short term
Income tax
Dividends payable
Bank overdraft
Prepaid expenses
THE GOAL OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The goal of working capital management is to manage the
firm's current assets and current liabilities in such a way that a
satisfactory level of working capital is maintained. This is so
because if the firm cannot maintain a satisfactory level of
working capital, it is likely to become insolvent and may, even
be forced into bankruptcy. The current assets should be largeenough to cover its current liabilities in order to ensure a
reasonable margin of safety. Each of the current assets must be
managed efficiently in orderto maintain the liquidity of the firm
while not keeping to high a level of any one of them. Each of
the short-term sources of financing must be continuously
managed to ensure that they are obtained and used in the best
possible way. The interaction between current assets and
current liabilities is, therefore, the main theme of the theory ofworking capital management.
FOCUS ON MANAGEMENT OF CURRENT ASSETS
The gross working capital concept focuses attention on twoaspects of current management:
Q How to optimize investment in current assets?
Q How should current assets be financed?
P a g e | 39

8/6/2019 Renu Final Edited
40/83
A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
The consideration of the level of investment in current assetsshould avoid two-danger point - excessive or inadequateinvestment in current assets. Investment in current assetsshould be just adequate to the needs of the business firm.Excessive investment in current assets should be avoided
because it impairs the firm's profitability, as idle investmentearns nothing. On the other hand inadequate amount ofworking capital can threaten solvency of the firm because of itsinability to meet its current obligations. The managementshould be prompt to initiate an action and correct imbalances.Another aspect of the gross working capital point to the need ofarranging funds of finance current assets. Whenever a need forworking capital funds arise due to increasing level of businessactivity or for other reason, financing arrangement should bemade quickly. Similarly if suddenly, some surplus funds arisethey should not be allowed to remain idle, but should beinvested in short-term securities. Thus the financial managershould have knowledge of the sources of working capital fundsas well as investment avenues where idle funds may betemporarily invested.
THE NEED AND OBJECT OF WORKING CAPITAL
Every business needs some working capital. The need forworking capital arises due to the time gap between productionand realization of cash from sales. The working capital isneeded for the following purpose:-
For the purchase of raw materials components and spares.
To pay wages and salaries
To incur day- to - day expenses and overheads such as fuel, power
and office expenses etc. To meet the selling costs as packing, advertising etc.
To provide credit facilities to the consumers,
To maintain the inventories of raw material, work - in
-progress, stores and spares and finished stock.
FINANCING POLICIES FOR WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:-
A large number of factors , each having a different importance,
P a g e | 40
-
8/6/2019 Renu Final Edited
41/83
A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
influence working capital needs of firms. The importance offactors also changes for a firm over time. Therefore an analysisof relevant factors should be made in order to determine totalinvestment in working capital. The following is the descriptionof factors which generally influence the working capital
requirements of firms.
Nature of business
Trading and financial firms have a small investment infixed assets, but require a large sum of money to be inworking capital. Some manufacturing businesses, such astobacco and construction firms, also have to investsubstantially in working capital and a nominal amount infixed The working capital requirements of a firm are
basically influence by the nature of its business, assets. Incontrast public utilities may have limited need for workingcapital and have to invest abundantly in fixed assets.
Seasonality of operations
Firms which have marked seasonality in their operationusually have - highly fluctuating working capitalrequirement. The sale of ceiling fans reaches a peakduring the summer months and drops sharply during the
winter period. The working capital need of such a firm islikely to increase considerably in summer month anddecrease significantly during the winter period. On theother hand a firm manufacturing a * product like lampswhich have fairly even sales round the year tends to havestable working capital needs.
Production policy
firm marked by pronounced seasonal fluctuation in its
sales may pursue a production policy which may reducethe sharp variation in working capital requirements. Market conditions:-
The degree of competition prevailing in the market placehas an important bearing on working capital needs. Whencompetition is keen , a larger inventory of finished goods isrequired to promptly serve customers who may not beinclined to wait because other manufacturer are ready tomeet their needs. Further generous credit terms may haveto be offered to attract customers in a highly competitive
market. Thus working capital need tend to be highbecause of greater investment in finished goods inventory

and account receivables. Conditions of supply
The inventory of raw materials spares and stores dependon the conditions of supply. If the supply is prompt andadequate, the firm can manage with small inventory.However, if the supply is unpredictable and scant, then thefirm in to ensure continuation of production, would have toacquire stocks as and when they are available and carryinventory on an average. A similar policy may have to befollowed when the raw material is available onlyseasonally and production operations are carried outround the year.
FINANCING POLICIES FOR WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:-
A firm can adopt different financing policies for its current
assets. Three types of financing may be distinguished.
Long term financing: - The sources of long termfinancing include ordinary share capital, preference share
capital,debentures, long- term borrowings from financial
institutions and resources and surplus. Short term financing: - The short term financing is
obtained for a period less than one year. It is arranged in
advance from banks and other suppliers of short term
finance in the money market. Short term finances include
working capital funds from banks, public deposit deposits,
commercial paper, factoring of receivable etc.
Spontaneous financing : - Spontaneous financing refers to
the automatic sources of short term funds arising inthe normal course of business. Trade credit and
outstanding expenses are examples of spontaneous
financing. There is no explicit cost of spontaneous
financing. A firm is expected to utilize their sources of
finance to the fullest extent. The real choice of
financing current assets, once the spontaneous
sources of financing have been fully utilized, is
between the long term and short term sources offinances. Depending on the mix of short and long term

financing.
Financing of working capital
After determining the level of working capital, a firm has to
decide how it is to be financed. The need for financing
arises mainly became the investment in working
capital/current assets, that is, raw materials, work-in-
process, finished goods and receivables typically
fluctuations during the year.
Trade credit:
Trade credit refers to the credit extended by the supplier
of goods and services in the normal course of
transaction/business/sale of the firm. According to tradepractices cash is not paid immediately for purchases but
after an agreed period of time. Thus, deferralpayment of
trade credit represents a source of finance for credit
purchase.
Bank Credit:
Bank credit is the primary institutional source of working
capital finance in India. In fact, it represents the most
important source for financing of current assets.
Forms of Credit: Working capital finance is
provided by banks in five ways :
Cash credit/overdraft
Loans
purchase/discount bills
letter of credit
working capital loans
1. Cash credit/overdrafts:
Under cash credit/overdraft form of arrangement of bank
finance,the bank predetermined borrowing/credit limit. The
borrower can draw/borrow up to the stipulated credit/overdraftlimit. The interest is determined on the basis of the running

balance/ amount actually utilized by the borrower and not on
the sanctioned limit. However, a minimum charge may be
payable on the unutilized balance irrespective of the level of
borrowing for availing of the facility.
2. Loans:
Under this arrangement, the entire amount of borrowing is
credited to the current account of the borrower or released in
cash. The borrower has to pay interest on the total amount. The
loans are repayable or demand or in periodic installments. They
can also be renewed from time to time.
3. Bills purchased / discounted:
The modes operandi of bill finance as a source of working
capital financing is that a bill arises out of a trade sale-purchase
transaction on credit. The seller of goods draws the bill on the
purchaser of goods, payable on demand or after a usance
period not exceeding 90 days. On acceptance of the bill by the
purchaser the seller offers it to the bank for discount/purchase.
On discounting the bill, the bank releases the funds to the
seller. The bill is presented by the bank to the purchaser /
acceptor of the bill on due date for payment.
4. Term loans for working capital:-
Under this arrangement, banks advance loans for 3-7 years
repayable in yearly or half-yearly installments.

downfall i.e from 12.96 crores it has decreased to 11.66
crores and in next it has increased to 13.32crores. Thus,there is a downfall in 2 consecutive year and it has
increased in last year i.e 2008-09.which indicates increase
in defective products of RSP,which normally calls for credit
sales
Thus, downfall in sundry debtors is a good .

Note:- other current asset fig. are taken from balancesheet of RSP.
INTERPRETATION:-
In case of RSP, there is continuous downfall of other current
assets over the four years. However, accrued interest an important component of other
current assets plays an important role in the operation of RSP.
It shows the claim of RSP against its customers and outside
parties. If it shows lower percentage then it can be said that the
company has got a conservative collection policies. And if it shows a
higher percentage, then it can be inferred that the company is unable
to collect money from outside parties and it adversely affects the
operation of the company. Thus, it can be inferred that RSP has got a good collection policy
which increases the profitability of RSP.
TREND ANALYSIS OF CURRENT ASSETS
The financial statements may be analyzed by computing trends ofseries of information. This method determines the direction upwards or
downwards and involves the computation of the percentage relationshipthat each statement item bears to the same item in base year. Theinformation for a number of years is taken up and one year, generallythe first year, is taken as a base year. The analyst is able to see thetrend of figures, whether upward or downward.
PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING TRENDS:- One year is taken as a base year. Generally, the first or the last is
taken as a base year. The figure of base year is taken as 100.
Trend percentages are calculated in relation to base year. If afigure in other year is less than the figure in base year the trendpercentage will be less than 100 and it will be more than 100 iffigure is more than base year figure. Each year's figure is dividedby the base year's figure.

INTERPRETATION:-
Working capital has increased by 287.4 crores in 2005-06 compared to the
previous year to reach a figure of 899.19 crores.
On careful analysis it is found that there is 32.7% increase in
current asset compared to previous year. This increase is mainly due
to the sharp increase in inventories i.e finished/ semi-finished
products which has increased by 86%.
Cash and bank balances, sundry debtors and loan and
advances have also increased in 2005-06.
The current liabilities have also shown a negligible increase of
4.25%.This is mainly due to the rise in other current liabilities which
includes accured interest.
Compare sales and working capital, we will find that although
Working capital has increased, sales has decreased in 2005-06,
which says that there has not been proper utilization of resources in thatparticular year.

Decrease in sales has lead to the accumulation of inventory i.e stock
of finished products have increased sharply.
Net current assets according to CMO's books have also shown an
increase of 20%.
Thus, as a total effect the working capital has increased to 899.19 crore.

A Summer Internship Report on Working CapitalManagement
INTERPRETATION:- Net working capital shows an upward trend in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
However, there is a sudden downfall in 2007-08 i.e from 1129.83 crores,ithas reached to 1020.84 crores.
This downfall is mainly due to increase in the items of the currentliabilitiesie provision.Although working capital has decreased in 2007-08, there is increase in sales as well as profit in the same year.
Thus, it can be inferred that there has been proper utilization of rawmaterial.
Thus it is concluded that RSP is achieving profit. There is continuous increase
in cash and bank balance which states that the liquidity position of thecompany is strong. RSP is also able to avail more credit i.e confidence of thecreditors on the company has increased. Thus RSP has sufficient liquidity to
pay the day to day expenses.
