If storage period is high A firm should keep more quantity of goods in store and hence requires more working capital. if the storage Period is less , then more stock of goods must be held in store as work-in-progress.

REGULATION OF BANK FINANCE
Capital structure refers to the specific mix of debt and equity used to finance a company’s assets and operations. From a corporate perspective, equity represents a more expensive, permanent source of capital with greater financial flexibility. Financial flexibility allows a company to raise capital on reasonable terms when capital is needed. Conversely, debt represents a cheaper, finite-to-maturity capital source that legally obligates a company to make promised cash outflows on a fixed schedule with the need to refinance at some future date at an unknown cost.
As we will show, debt is an important component in the “optimal” capital structure. The trade-off theory of capital structure tells us that managers should seek an optimal mix of equity and debt that minimizes the firm’s weighted average cost of capital, which in turn maximizes company value. That optimal capital structure represents a trade-off between the cost-effectiveness of borrowing relative to the higher cost of equity and the costs of financial distress.
In reality, many practical considerations affect capital structure and the use of leverage by companies, leading to wide variation in capital structures even among otherwise-similar companies. Practical considerations affecting capital structure include the following:
business characteristics: features associated with a company’s business model, operations, or maturity;
capital structure policies and leverage targets: guidelines set by management and the board that seek to establish sensible borrowing limits for the company based on the company’s risk appetite and ability to support debt; and
market conditions: current share price levels and market interest rates for a company’s debt. The prevalence of low interest rates increases the debt-carrying capacity of businesses and the use of debt by companies.
Because we are considering how a company minimizes its overall cost of capital, the focus is on the market values of debt and equity. Therefore, capital structure is also affected by changes in the market value of a company’s securities over time.
We tend to think of capital structure as the result of a conscious decision by management, but it is not that simple. For example, unmanageable debt, or financial distress, can arise because a company’s capital structure policy was too aggressive, but it also can occur because operating results or prospects deteriorate unexpectedly.
Finally, in seeking to maximize shareholder value, company management may make capital structure decisions that are not in the interests of other stakeholders, such as debtholders, suppliers, customers, or employees.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Understand
The role and importance of working capital in a
marketing set up.
The several components of working capital
and how to control them.
Criticality of inventory and credit management.

2. Structure
7.1 Introduction.
7.2 Credit Checks
7.3 Stocks / Inventory
7.4 Summary
Chapter Seven Working Capital 2
3. 7.1 Introduction.
Working capital in simple terms means capital required for
day to day running of the business. In accounting terms it is a
difference between current assets and current liabilities.
Any business will need money to invest in stocks and
inventory so necessary to service orders received and its
customers. The actual amount of inventory required varies
from company to company depending on nature of business
requirements, raw materials used and procedure for
procuring them. Stocks block funds which are available for
use elsewhere. Thus they cost the company. Marketing ,
therefore, must plan inventory critically.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 3
4. 7.1 Introduction.
Working capital is also required to finance sales made on
credit. Here until money is received from customers
company’s funds are blocked in receivables. Credit sales are,
however, essential to maintain healthy volume of sales.
Sales on credit have to be made if industry conditions require
them. Credit has to be extended to beat competition.
Extended credit terms are to be offered to important large
clients. This is particularly so in B2B markets.
To manage funds so blocked in receivables, marketing must
ensure speedy recovery of dues as per terms of sale.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 4
5. 7.1 Introduction.
Credit sales have following associated costs :
Cost of capital blocked in receivables.
Cost of control to limit receivables to secure recovery.
Cost of collection involved in recovering outstanding,
maintaining follow up, restricting period of collection etc.
Cost of delinquency where buyer fails to adhere to terms
of credit. There are delays and funds are blocked for a longer
period.
Cost of default where party does not pay and debt has to
written off. This is a major cost.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 5
6. 7.2 Credit Checks
To ensure that the benefits accrued out of credit extension ,
do more than cover the several costs associated with such
sales on credit, adequate credit checks need to be exercised
by the marketing function. To reduce the risks of sales on
credit one must very carefully evaluate the creditworthiness of
the party to whom credit is being granted.
The best tool available for this purpose is ‘spot ground
checks’.
While granting credit it is essential that assessment is carried
on the basis of business standing, resource ownership,
impressions of associates and also history of party’s past
business dealings.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 6
7. 7.2 Credit Checks
While granting credit to a distributor you must survey his
retailers and find out business behaviour and credentials of
the distributor in respect of other products. Any gap in market
servicing of particular products may indicate supply
interruption. Cause for such stoppage in service must be
examined to rule out payment defaults.
In case of industrial buyer a visit to the buyer can reveal a lot
of data required for credit rating.
While granting credit, limits must be set and they must be
adhered under all circumstances. Your banker assists you in
credit evaluation of your customers.
In case of default greater care, including cash sales for a
certain period, has to be exercised before resuming credit.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 7
8. 7.3 Stocks / Inventory
In a manufacturing industry inventory forms a major part of
working capital.
Costs associated with Inventory.
Cost of capital since the company’s funds which can be
employed elsewhere are blocked in stocks.
Cost of controlling inventory , keeping track of all items to
ensure customer is continuously serviced and all items are
moving.
Cost of holding inventory covers warehousing, security,
insurance, license fees [if applicable] and salaries of staff
handling and accounting for inventory.
Cost of damages in storage and movements.
Cost of shrinkage , pilferages, thefts and obsolescence.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 8
9. 7.3 Stocks / Inventory
Inventory management is critical, as if there is more of
inventory, you incur extra costs of capital, holding and
obsolescence.
On the other hand if you have less than required stocks, you
will have interrupted supplies to customers leading to
customer dissatisfaction, loss of sales and even lost
customers.
Working capital control also requires cash collected from
customers to be immediately transferred into operations.
Expenses paid in advance, deposits with outside parties and
advances paid to suppliers form balance part of working
capital. Hence it is prudent to obtain credit from suppliers of
goods as well as from transporters or forwarding agents.
Chapter Seven Working Capital 9
10. 7.4 Summary

Chapter Seven Working Capital 10
11. 7.4 Summary
Post evaluation of credit worthiness of the party one must
also set limits of credit to be extended. These limits can
be both time limit and amount limit. Time limit will set up to
