5. CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
GROSS WORKING CAPITAL:
Simply called as working capital, it refers to the firm’s investment in current
assets. Current assets are the assets, which can be converted into cash within an
accounting year (or operating cycle), and include cash, short-term securities,
debtors, bills receivables and stock (inventory).
NET WORKING CAPITAL (NWC)
NWC = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected to mature
for payment within an accounting year (or operating cycle) and include creditors,
bills payable and outstanding expenses.
Net working capital can be positive or negative. A positive net working capital will
arise when current assets exceed current liabilities. On the other hand, negative
working capital occurs when current liabilities are in excess of current assets.
The gross working capital concept focuses attention on two aspects of current assets
management.
Optimum investment in current assets.
Financing of current assets.
6. COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The main components of the Working Capital Management are as
follows:
Receivable Management.
Cash Management
Inventory Management
Payables Management
7. In the form of an equation, the operating cycle process can be expressed as follows:
Operating cycle = R + W + F + D – C
Where,
R = Raw material and stores storage period.
W = Work-in-Progress period.
F = Finished goods storage period.
D = Debtors collection period
C = Credit payment period.
8. FINDINGS
Since, the Working Capital of RSWM Banswara is increasing every year but the Current
Assets & Current Liabilities are decreasing from the last year, these is due to following
reasons:-
In Current Assets, Inventory & Loans & Advances are increases from the last years. But
Other Current Assets & Cash & Bank balance is decreases, specially there is a
drastically change in Cash & Bank Balance. If we see the figures of Cash & Bank in
Balance-Sheet, we can find that there is increase in Cash in hand & Saving a/c of the
company, but decrease in fixed deposits of the firm in 2014-15 from Rs. 70.40 lakhs to
Rs. 7.12 Lakhs. All these Cash are invested in the Fixed Assets or Inventory of the firm
and this is happening every year. This shows that company is running at the high risk.
So company should increase its cash & bank balance for good liquidity.
Current Liabilities was also decreased from 5669.41 to 4643.34 in 2014-15 this is due to
the no provision made in the year 2014-15 & also the low Working Capital loans.
If we see the changes we find that Current Assets & Current Liabilities of 2013-14 is
increased from 2012-13 Such a volatility in current assets & current liabilities indicates
poor working capital management of the company and it must be controlled, other wise
it must be harmful in future for the company.
