• Funds collected from debtors of the
organization.

3. Financing decision
• This is the decision concerned with the
sourcing of funds that are utilized under
the investment decision.
• Much management time and effort is
devoted to trying to ensure the adequacy of
the company's profit flow.
• However, it is just as important that a
company has an adequate flow of funds if it
is to remain in business and very much less
management time and effort is devoted to
this need.

Financing decision Contd…
• As companies expand, they require
growing amounts of cash to finance
acquisitions of fixed assets. They also
require growing amounts of cash to finance
their growing working capital (net current
assets) requirements.
Some of this funding requirement will
come from INTERNAL sources, whilst
some will need to come from EXTERNAL
sources.

decision
The Financial Manager has to decide on
what to do with the earnings once they
have been realised. There are three options,
• To declare and pay all dividends to
shareholders
• To retain all the earnings and hence declare
and pay no dividends
• To decide on what proportion to be paid
and what to be retained.

18. 18

dividend payment
