People Inside And, More Importantly, People Outside The Organization, Management Accounting Is Mostly Aimed
At Aiding Managers Inside The Organization With Decision Making.

CHAPTER 2 WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT
Introduction :
The Term Working Capital Is Commonly Used For The Capital Required For Day-To-Day Working In A Business
Concern, Such As For Purchasing Raw Material, For Meeting Day-To-Day Expenditure On Salaries, Wages, Rents
Rates, Advertising Etc. But There Are Much Disagreement Among Various Financial Authorities (Financiers,
Accountants, Businessmen And Economists) As To The Exact Meaning Of The Term Working Capital.
Definition And Classification Of Working Capital :
Working Capital Refers To The Circulating Capital Required To Meet The Day To Day Operations Of A Business
Firm. Working Capital May Be Defined By Various Authors As Follows:
1. According To Weston & Brigham -
“Working Capital Refers To A Firm’s Investment In Short Term Assets, Such As Cash Amounts Receivables,
Inventories Etc.
2. Working Capital Means Current Assets.
— Mead, Baker And Malott
3. “The Sum Of The Current Assets Is The Working Capital Of The Business”
— J.S.Mill
Working Capital Is Defined As “The Excess Of Current Assets Over Current Liabilities And Provisions”.
The Term “Working Capital” Is Often Referred To “Circulating Capital” Which Is Frequently Used To Denote Those
Assets Which Are Changed With Relative Speed From One Form To Another I.E., Starting From Cash, Changing To
Raw Materials, Converting Into Work-In-Progress And Finished Products, Sale Of Finished Products And Ending
With Realization Of Cash From Debtors.
Working Capital Has Been Described As The “Life Blood Of Any Business.
Working Capital May Be Classified In Two Ways
A) Concept Based Working Capital
B) Time Based Working Capital
Concepts Of Working Capital
1. Gross Working Capital: It Refers To The Firm’s Investment In Total Current Or Circulating Assets.
2. Net Working Capital: The Term “Net Working Capital” Has Been Defined In Two Different Ways:

8
I. It Is The Excess Of Current Assets Over Current Liabilities. This Is, As A Matter Of Fact, The Most Commonly
Accepted Definition. Some People Define It As Only The Difference Between Current Assets And Current Liabilities.
The Former Seems To Be A Better Definition As Compared To The Latter.
Ii. It Is That Portion Of A Firm’s Current Assets Which Is Financed By Long-Term Funds.
3. Permanent Working Capital:
This Refers To That Minimum Amount Of Investment In All Current Assets Which Is Required At All Times To Carry
Out Minimum Level Of Business Activities. In Other Words, It Represents The Current Assets Required On A
Continuing Basis Over The Entire Year.
Tandon Committee Has Referred To This Type Of Working Capital As “Core Current Assets”.
The Following Are The Characteristics Of This Type Of Working Capital:
1. Amount Of Permanent Working Capital Remains In The Business In One Form Or Another. This Is
Particularly Important From The Point Of View Of Financing. The Suppliers Of Such Working Capital Should
Not Expect Its Return During The Life-Time Of The Firm.
2. It Also Grows With The Size Of The Business. In Other Words, Greater The Size Of The Business, Greater Is The
Amount Of Such Working Capital And Vice Versa Permanent Working Capital Is Permanently Needed For The
Business And Therefore It Should Be Financed Out Of Long-Term Funds.
4. Temporary Working Capital:
The Amount Of Such Working Capital Keeps On Fluctuating From Time To Time On The Basis Of Business Activities.
In Other Words, It Represents Additional Current Assets Required At Different Times During The Operating Year.
For Example, Extra Inventory Has To Be Maintained To Support Sales During Peak Sales Period. Similarly,
Receivable Also Increase And Must Be Financed During Period Of High Sales. On The Other Hand Investment In
Inventories, Receivables, Etc., Will Decrease In Periods Of Depression. Suppliers Of Temporary Working Capital Can
Expect Its Return During Off Season When It Is Not Required By The Firm. Hence, Temporary Working Capital Is
Generally Financed From Short Term Sources Of Finance Such As Bank Credit.
5. Negative Working Capital:
This Situation Occurs When The Current Liabilities Exceed The Current Assets. It Is An Indication Of Crisis To The
Firm.
Need For Working Capital
Working Capital Is Needed Till A Firm Gets Cash On Sale Of Finished Products. It Depends On Two Factors:
I. Manufacturing Cycle I.E. Time Required For Converting The Raw Material Into Finished Product; And
Ii. Credit Policy I.E. Credit Period Given To Customers And Credit Period Allowed By Creditors.

9
Thus, The Sum Total Of These Times Is Called An “Operating Cycle” And It Consists Of The Following Six Steps:
I. Conversion Of Cash Into Raw Materials.
Ii. Conversion Of Raw Materials Into Work-In-Process.
Iii. Conversion Of Work-In-Process Into Finished Products.
Iv. Time For Sale Of Finished Goods—Cash Sales And Credit Sales.
V. Time For Realisation From Debtors And Bills Receivables Into Cash.
Vi. Credit Period Allowed By Creditors For Credit Purchase Of Raw Materials, Inventory And Creditors For Wages
And Overheads. Chart For Operating Cycle Or Working Capital Cycle.
Determinants Of Working Capital :
The Factors Influencing The Working Capital Decisions Of A Firm May Be Classified As Two Groups, Such As
Internal Factors And External Factors. The Internal Factors Includes, Nature Of Business Size Of Business, Firm’s
Product Policy, Credit Policy, Dividend Policy, And Access To Money And Capital Markets, Growth And Expansion
Of Business Etc. The External Factors Include Business Fluctuations, Changes In The Technology, Infrastructural
Facilities, Import Policy And The Taxation Policy Etc. These Factors Are Discussed In Brief In The Following Lines.
I. Internal Factors
1. Nature And Size Of The Business The Working Capital Requirements Of A Firm Are Basically Influenced By The
Nature And Size Of The Business. Size May Be Measured In Terms Of The Scale Of Operations. A Firm With Larger
Scale Of Operations Will Need More Working Capital Than A Small Firm. Similarly, The Nature Of The Business -
Influence The Working Capital Decisions. Trading And Financial Firms Have Less Investment In Fixed Assets. But
Require A Large Sum Of Money To Be Invested In Working Capital. Retail Stores, Business Units Require Larger
Amount Of Working Capital, Where As, Public Utilities Need Less Working Capital And More Funds To Invest In
Fixed Assets.
2. Firm’s Production Policy The Firm’s Production Policy (Manufacturing Cycle) Is An Important Factor To Decide
The Working Capital Requirement Of A Firm. The Production Cycle Starts With The Purchase And Use Of Raw
Material And Completes With The Production Of Finished Goods. On The Other Hand Production Policy Is Uniform
Production Policy Or Seasonal Production Policy Etc., Also Influences The Working Capital Decisions. Larger The
Manufacturing Cycle And Uniform Production Policy – Larger Will Be The Requirement Of Working Capital. The
Working Capital Requirement Will Be Higher With Varying Production Schedules In Accordance With The Changing
Demand.
3. Firm’s Credit Policy The Credit Policy Of A Firm Influences Credit Policy Of Working Capital. A Firm Following
Liberal Credit Policy To All Customers Require Funds. On The Other Hand, The Firm Adopting Strict Credit Policy
And Grant Credit Facilities To Few Potential Customers Will Require Less Amount Of Working Capital.

10
4. Availability Of Credit The Working Capital Requirements Of A Firm Are Also Affected By Credit Terms Granted By
Its Suppliers – I.E. Creditors. A Firm Will Need Less Working Capital If Liberal Credit Terms Are Available To It.
Similarly, The Availability Of Credit From Banks Also Influences The Working Capital Needs Of The Firm. A Firm,
Which Can Get Bank Credit Easily On Favorable Conditions Will Be Operated With Less Working Capital Than A
Firm Without Such A Facility.
5. Growth And Expansion Of Business Working Capital Requirement Of A Business Firm Tend To Increase In
Correspondence With Growth In Sales Volume And Fixed Assets. A Growing Firm May Need Funds To Invest In
Fixed Assets In Order To Sustain Its Growing Production And Sales. This Will, In Turn, Increase Investment In
Current Assets To Support Increased Scale Of Operations. Thus, A Growing Firm Needs Additional Funds
Continuously.
6. Profit Margin And Dividend Policy The Magnitude Of Working Capital In A Firm Is Dependent Upon Its Profit
Margin And Dividend Policy. A High Net Profit Margin Contributes Towards The Working Capital Pool. To The
Extent The Net Profit Has Been Earned In Cash, It Becomes A Source Of Working Capital. This Depends Upon The
Dividend Policy Of The Firm. Distribution Of High Proportion Of Profits In The Form Of Cash Dividends Results In A
Drain On Cash Resources And Thus Reduces Company’s Working Capital To That Extent. The Working Capital
Position Of The Firm Is Strengthened If The Management Follows Conservative Dividend Policy And Vice Versa.
7. Operating Efficiency Of The Firm Operating Efficiency Means The Optimum Utilisation Of A Firm’s Resources At
Minimum Cost. If A Firm Successfully Controls Operating Cost, It Will Be Able To Improve Net Profit Margin Which,
Will, In Turn, Release Greater Funds For Working Capital Purposes.
8. Co-Ordinating Activities In Firm The Working Capital Requirements Of A Firm Is Depend Upon The Co-Ordination
Between Production And Distribution Activities. The Greater And Effective The Co-Ordinations, The Pressure On
The Working Capital Will Be Minimized. In The Absence Of Co-Ordination, Demand For Working Capital Is
Reduced.
Ii. External Factors
1. Business Fluctuations Most Firms Experience Fluctuations In Demand For Their Products And Services. These
Business Variations Affect The Working Capital Requirements. When There Is An Upward Swing In The Economy,
Sales Will Increase, Correspondingly, The Firm’s Investment In Inventories And Book Debts Will Also Increase.
Under Boom, Additional Investment In Fixed Assets May Be Made By Some Firms To Increase Their Productive
Capacity. This Act Of The Firm Will Require Additional Funds. On The Other Hand When, There Is A Decline In
Economy, Sales Will Come Down And Consequently The Conditions, The Firm Try To Reduce Their Short-Term
Borrowings. Similarly The Seasonal Fluctuations May Also Affect The Requirement Of Working Capital Of A Firm.
2. Changes In The Technology The Technological Changes And Developments In The Area Of Production Can Have
Immediate Effects On The Need For Working Capital. If The Firm Wish To Install A New Machine In The Place Of
Old System, The New System Can Utilise Less Expensive Raw Materials, The Inventory Needs May Be Reduced
There By Working Capital Needs.

11
3. Import Policy Import Policy Of The Government May Also Effect The Levels Of Working Capital Of A Firm Since
They Have To Arrange Funds For Importing Goods At Specified Times.
4. Infrastructural Facilities The Firms May Require Additional Funds To Maintain The Levels Of Inventory And Other
Current Assets, When There Is Good Infrastructural Facilities In The Company Like, Transportation And
Communications.
5. Taxation Policy The Tax Policies Of The Government Will Influence The Working Capital Decisions. If The
Government Follow Regressive Taxation Policy, I.E. Imposing Heavy Tax Burdens On Business Firms, They Are Left
With Very Little Profits For Distribution And Retention Purpose. Consequently The Firm Has To Borrow Additional
Funds To Meet Their Increased Working Capital Needs. When There Is A Liberalised Tax Policy, The Pressure On
Working Capital Requirement Is Minimised. Thus The Working Capital Requirements Of A Firm Is Influenced By The
Internal And External Factors.
Importance Or Advantages Of Adequate Working Capital
Working Capital Is The Life Blood And Nerve Centre Of A Business. Just As Circulation Of Blood Is Essential In The
Human Body For Maintaining Life, Working Capital Is Very Essential To Maintain The Smooth Running Of A
Business. No Business Can Run Successfully Without An Adequate Amount Of Working Capital. The Main

Insolvency Is Concerned. However Funds May Be Invested In Such Investment Which Fetches Small Returns To
Build Up Liquidity.
Aggressive Approach:
The Firm Uses Only Short Term Financing. In This Approach, The Firm Finances A Part Of The Permanent Assets
With Short Term Financing. This Approach Refers To More Risky But May At Returns To The Assets.
Operating Cycle
The Duration Of Time Required To Complete The Following Sequence Of Events, In Case Of Manufacturing Firm, Is
Called The Operating Cycle:
1. Conversion Of Cash Into Raw Materials.
2. Conversion Of Raw Materials Into Work-In-Progress.
3. Conversion Of Work In Process Into Finished Goods.
4. Conversion Of Finished Goods Into Debtors And Bills Receivables Through Sales.
5. Conversion Of Debtors And Bills Receivables Into Cash.
The Length Of Cycle Will Depend On The Nature Of Business. Non Manufacturing Concerns, Service Concerns And
Financial Concerns Will Not Have Raw Material And Work-In-Process So Their Cycle Will Be Shorter. Financial
Concerns Have A Shortest Operating Cycle.

Approaches To Working Capital Estimation:
In Estimation Of Working Capital Two Approaches Can Be Used In Practice: (A) Total Approach And (B) Cash Cost
Approach
Total Approach:
In This Method Of Estimation All Costs Including Depreciation And Profit Margin Are Included. Unless It Is Asked
Specifically, The Estimation Of Working Capital Under Total Approach Is Suggested.
Cash Cost Approach:
Under This Approach, Working Capital Is Estimated On The Basis Of Cash Cost. Depreciation Is Excluded From The
Cost Of Sales. The Profit Margin Is Also Not Considered While Estimation Of Investment In Debtors Balances.

CHAPTER 5 BONUS SHARES
Bonus Shares :
When the additional shares are allotted to the existing shareholders without receiving any additional payment
from them, it is known as issue of bonus shares.
Bonus shares are allotted by capitalizing the reserves and surplus. Issue of bonus shares results in the conversion
of the company's profits into share capital.
Therefore it is termed as capitalization of company's profits. Since such shares are issued to the equity
shareholders in proportion to their holdings of equity share capital of the company, a shareholder continues to
retain his / her proportionate ownership of the company. Issue of bonus shares does not affect the total capital
structure of the company.
It is simply a capitalization of that portion of shareholders' equity which is represented by reserves and surpluses.
It also does not affect the total earnings of the shareholders. Issue of Bonus Shares is more or less a financial
gimmick without any real impact on the wealth of the shareholders. Still firms issue bonus shares and
shareholders look forward to issue of bonus shares.
Reasons for issuing Bonus Shares
1. The bonus issue tends to bring the market price per share within a more reasonable range.
2. It increases the number of outstanding shares. This promotes more active trading.
3. The nominal rate of dividend tends to decline. This may dispel the impression of profiteering. 4. Share capital
base increases and the company may achieve a more spectacular size in the eyes of the investing company.
5. Shareholders regard a bonus issue as a strong indication that the prospects of the company have brightened
and they can reasonably look for an increase in total dividend.
6. It improves the prospects of raising additional funds.
Regulation of Bonus Issues Important regulatory provisions governing issue of bonus shares are:
1. The bonus issue is made out of free reserves built out of the profits or share premium collected in cash only.
2. The residual reserves after the proposed capitalization shall be at least 40% of the increased paid up capital.
Stock Splits :
In a stock split the face value per share is reduced and the number of shares is increased proportionately.
A stock split is similar to a bonus issue from economic point of view. But there are some differences from the
accounting point of view.
Difference between Bonus Issue and Stock Split Bonus Issue Stock Split
1. The par value of share is unchanged. 1. The par value of share is reduced. 2. A part of the
reserves is capitalized. 2. There is no capitalization of reserves.
Advantages of issue of bonus shares to the company
1. Conservation of Cash: Issue of bonus shares does not involve cash outflow. The company can retain earnings as
well as satisfy the desire of the shareholders to receive dividend.

36
2. Keeps the EPS at a reasonable level: A company having high EPS may face problems both from employees and
consumers. Employees may feel that they are underpaid. Consumers may feel that they are being charged too
high for the company's products. Issue of bonus shares increases the number of shares and reduces the earning
per share.
3. Increases the marketability of company's shares: Issue of bonus shares reduces the market price per share. The
price of the share may come within the reach of ordinary investors. This increases the marketability of shares.
4. Enhances prestige of the company: By issuing bonus shares, the company increases its credit standing and its
borrowing capacity. It reflects financial strength of the company.
5. It helps in financing its projects: By issuing bonus shares, the expansion and modernization programmes of a
company can be easily financed. The company need not depend on outside agencies for finances.
6. Retention of managerial control: Any new issue of shares has a danger of dilution of managerial control over
the company.
Since bonus shares are issued to the existing shareholders in proportion to their current holdings, there is no
threat of dilution of managerial control over the company.
Advantages to the shareholders
1. Tax benefits: When a shareholder receives dividend in cash, it adds to his total income and is taxed at usual
income tax rates. From this point of view the bonus shares increase the wealth of shareholders. In case the
shareholder requires cash he can sell his additional shares.
2. Indication of higher future profits: Issue of bonus shares is generally an indication of higher future profits. This
is because a company declares a bonus issue only when its earnings are expected to increase.
3. Increase in future dividend: The shareholder will get more dividends in the future even it the company
continues to offer existing cash dividend per share.
4. High psychological value: Issue of bonus shares is usually perceived positively by the market. This tends to
create greater demand for the company's shares. In fact, always the share prices rise at the declaration of bonus
shares.
Limitations of Bonus Issues Disadvantages for the company:
1. Issue of bonus shares leads to an increase in the capitalization of the company. The increased capitalization can
be justified only if there is increase in the earning capacity of the company.
2. After the issue of the bonus shares the shareholders expect the existing rate of dividend per share to continue.
It is really a challenging task for the company to retain the existing rate of dividend per share.
3. Issue of bonus shares prevents new investors from becoming the shareholders of the company (no doubt they
can buy the shares in the secondary market).
Disadvantages to the shareholders:
1. Some shareholders may prefer cash dividend to stock dividend, such shareholders may feel disappointed
(no doubt they can very well sell their bonus shares and get their money)
SEBI Guidelines for Issue of Bonus Shares
1. The bonus issue can be made only out of free reserves built out of the genuine profits or securities premium
collected in cash.
2. Reserves created by revaluation of fixed assets are not available for issue of bonus shares
3. The bonus issue cannot be made unless the partly-paid shares, if any, existing, are made fully paid-up

37
4. The declaration of bonus issue, in lieu of dividend, cannot be made
5. Once the company announces bonus issue after the approval of Board of Directors, the proposal must be
implemented within a period of six months from the date of such approval and it does not have option of changing
the decision
6. If there is no provision in the Articles for the capitalization of reserves, the company must pass a Resolution at
its General Body Meeting to make provisions in the Articles
7. If consequent to the issue of bonus shares, the subscribe and paid-up capital exceeds the authorized capital, a
Resolution shall be passed by the company at its General Body Meeting for increasing the authorized capital
