2. Capital
• A business total assets.
• The entire amount
contributed to the
company and all
invested mone.
3. Working Capital
Management
• a business strategy designed to ensure
that a company operates efficiently by
monitoring and using its current assets
and liabilities to their most effective use.
4. • Working capital management involves
tracking various ratios, including the
working capital ratio, the collection
ratio, and the inventory ratio.
5. • The primary purpose of working capital
management is to enable the company to maintain
sufficient cash flow to meet its short-term
operating costs and short-term debt obligations. A
company's working capital is made up of its current
assets minus its current liabilities.
6. Current Assets
• a balance sheet line item listed under the
Assets section, which accounts for all
company-owned assets that can be
converted to cash within one year.
7. Current Liabilities
• are a company’s short-term financial obligations that
are due within one year or within a normal operating
cycle. An operating cycle, also referred to as the cash
conversion cycle, is the time it takes a company to
purchase inventory and convert it to cash from sales.
8. Main components of Working Capital
Management
• Cash
• Receivables
• Payables
• Inventory
9. Cash
• Monitoring cash and cash needs is the foundation of
working capital management. In order to make sure
that the business has enough cash on hand to pay
its debts, controlling the company's cash flow
entails anticipating demands, keeping an eye on
cash balances, and optimizing cash inflows and
outflows.
10. Receivables
• In order to manage capital, businesses need to be aware of
their receipts. While they wait for credit sales to be
completed, this is particularly crucial in the short term. This
entails overseeing the credit policies of the business, keeping
an eye on client payments, and enhancing collection
procedures. In the end, it makes no difference if a sale is
completed and the business is unable to get money for it.
11. Payables
• One working capital management strategy that businesses can use
and frequently have more control over is accounts payable. While a
firm may not be able to control other areas of working capital
management, such as selling goods or collecting receivables, they
frequently do have control over how much they pay suppliers, the
terms of credit, and when cash outlays occur.
12. Inventory
• Since inventory management is potentially the riskiest component of
capital management, businesses prioritize it when managing working
capital. In order to turn inventory into cash when it is sold, a business must
go to the market and depend on customer choices. The corporation might
be compelled to have short-term resources stranded in an illiquid position
if this cannot be finished in a timely manner. On the other hand, the
inventory might be sold rapidly by the corporation, but only if a significant
price reduction is made.
13. Working Capital
• Gives information about how various
important accounts are operating and is
calculated as current assets less current
liabilities.
14. Types of Working Capital
• Permanent Working Capital
• Regular Working Capital
• Reserve Working Capital
• Fluctuating Working Capital
• Gross Working Capital
• Net Working Capital
16. Regular Working Capital
• is the part of the permanent
working capital that is actually
required for day-to-day
operations
17. Reserve Working Capital
• Companies may require an
additional amount of working capital
on hand for emergencies,
seasonality, or unpredictable events.
22. Liquidity Management
Properly managing liquidity ensures that the
company possesses enough cash resources for
its ordinary business needs and unexpected
needs of a reasonable amount. It’s also
important because it affects a company’s
creditworthiness, which can contribute to
determining a business’s success or failure.
23. Accounts Receivable Management
A company should grant its customers the proper
flexibility or level of commercial credit while
making sure that the right amounts of cash flow in
via operations.
24. Inventory management
Aims to make sure that the company keeps
an adequate level of inventory to deal with
ordinary operations and fluctuations in
demand without investing too much capital
in the asset.
25. Accounts Payable
Arises from trade credit granted by a
company’s suppliers, mostly as part of the
normal operations. The right balance
between early payments and commercial
debt should be achieved.
26. Short Term Debt
Like liquidity management, managing short-
term financing should also focus on making
sure that the company possesses enough
liquidity to finance short-term operations
without taking on excessive risk.
27. • The objectives of working capital
management, in addition to ensuring that
the company has enough cash to cover its
expenses and debt, are minimizing the cost
of money spent on working capital, and
maximizing the return on asset investments.
28. • Working capital management is at the core of
operating a business. Without sufficient capital on
hand, a company is unable to pay its bill, process
payroll, or invest in growth. Companies can better
understanding their working capital structure by
analyzing liquidity ratios and ensuring its short-
term cash needs are always met.
