5. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive research design is a type of research design that aims to obtain
information to systematically describe a phenomenon, situation, or population.
More specifically, it helps answer the what, when, where, and how questions
regarding the research problem, rather than the why.
Collection of Data
For carrying out the study of this particular topic the data have been collected
basically from Secondary sources. They are;
Secondary Sources:-
The secondary data have been collected from the available sources of the
company and external sources for the period under study. These include:-
Annual Reports of ITI Limited
Internet
Industry portals
6. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
As project has to be completed within a short span of
time, the scarcity of time was an important hindrance
and hence much information could not be gathered,
nor evaluated.
Another important limitation is that analysis is very
much dependent on the company’s internal bulletin.
There are no well – accepted standards or rules of
thumb for all ratios, which can be accepted as norms.
It renders interpretation of ratios difficult.
7. FINDINGS
The first element analyzed was the level of net working capital.
The enterprises surveyed in 2019 to 2021 have positive
working capital. It is true that it is low, but in every company the
current assets are higher than short-term liabilities.
Working capital is increasing in comparison to last year which is
good for the liquidity of the company. Current assets are
increased by 17.89% and current liabilities are decreased by
0.78% in 2021. This means that current assets are adequate to
meet its currents liabilities as there is decrease in current
liabilities. The current ratio of the company is 1.7. It shows that
company is having good liquidity position but they should try
to improve it.
8. SUGGESTIONS
The management of working capital plays a vital role in running of a
successful business. So, things should go with a proper understanding for
managing cash, receivables and inventory.
ITI Limited is managing its working capital in a good manner, but still there is
some scope for improvement in its management. This can help the company
in raising its profit level by making less investment in accounts receivables
and stocks etc. This will ultimately improve the efficiency of its operations.
Following are few recommendations given to the company in achieving its
desired objectives:
The business runs successfully with adequate amount of the working capital
but the company should see to it that the cash should not be tied up in
excessive amount of working capital.
9. CONCLUSION
The working capital position of the company is sound and the various
sources through which it is funded are optimal.
The company has used its purchasing, financing and investment decisions to
good effect can be seen from the inferences made earlier in the project.
The debts doubtful have been doubled over the years but their percentage
on the debts has almost become half. This implies a sales and collection
policy that get along with the receivables management of the firm.
The various ratios calculated are an indicator as to the fact that the
profitability of the firm and sales are on a rise and also the deletion of the
inefficiencies in the working capital management.
