 Working capital policy is reflected in a
firm’s current ratio, quick ratio,
turnover of cash and securities,
inventory turnover, and DSO.
 These ratios indicate R
R has large
amounts of working capital relative
to its level of sales. Thus, RR is
following a relaxed policy.
Is RR inefficient or just
conservative?

 A relaxed policy may be appropriate if
itreduces risk more than profitability.
 However, RR is much less profitable
than the average firm in the industry.
This suggests that the company
probably has excessive working
capital.

 Transactions (Routine): Must have some
cash to pay current bills.
 Essential that the firm have sufficient cash to
take
trade discounts.
 Transactions (Precaution): “Safety stock.”
 Not as much needed if company has credit line
or other holdings of short-term securities.
 Compensating balances: For loans
and/or services provided.

Minimize the cash amount the firm
must hold for conducting its normal
business activities, yet, at the same
time, have a sufficient cash reserve
to:
 Take trade discounts.
 Pay promptly and maintain its
credit rating.
 Meet any unexpected cash needs.

 No. Depreciation is a noncash
charge.
Only cash payments and
receipts appear on cash
budget.
 However, depreciation does
affect taxes, which do appear in
the cash budget.
What are some other potential
cash inflows besides
collections?

sales.
 Interest earned.
 Court settlements.
How can interest earned or paid on
short- term securities or loans be
incorporated in the cash budget?

 Interest earned: Add line in the
collections section.
 Interest paid: Add line in the
payments section.
 Found as interest rate x surplus/loan line
of cash budget for preceding month.
 Note: Interest on any other debt would
need to be incorporated as well.
How could bad debts be
worked into the cash
budget?

 Collections would be reduced by
the amount of bad debt losses.
 For example, if the firm had 3% bad
debt losses, collections would total
only 97% of sales.
 Lower collections would lead to
lower surpluses and higher
borrowing requirements.
Cash budget forecasts the company’s cash
holdings to exceed targeted cash balance

November.

◼ Cash budget indicates the
company probably is holding too
much cash.
◼ RR could improve its EVA by
either investing its excess cash in
more productive assets or by paying
it out to the firm’s shareholders.
Why might RR want to maintain
a relatively high amount of
cash?

 If sales turn out to be considerably less
than expected, RR could face a cash
shortfall.
 A company may choose to hold large
amounts of cash if it does not have
much faith in its sales forecast, or if it
is very conservative.
 The cash may be there, in part, to fund
aplanned fixed asset acquisition.
Is RR holding too much
inventory?

 RR’s inventory turnover (10.80) is
considerably lower than the industry
average (20.00).The firm is carrying a lot
of inventory per dollar of sales.
 By holding excessive inventory, t
h
e firm is
increasing its operating costs which
reduces its NOPAT. Moreover, the
excess inventory must be financed, so
EVA is further lowered.
If RR reduces its inventory, without
adversely affecting sales, what effect
will this have on its cash position?
 Short run: Cash will
increase as inventory
purchases decline.
 Long run: Company is likely to
then take steps to reduce its cash
holdings.

Accounts Receivable Management: Do
RR’s customers pay more or less
promptly than those of its
competitors?
◼ RR’s days’ sales outstanding (DSO)
of
45.6 days is well above the
industry average (32 days).
 RR’s customers are paying less
promptly.
 RR should consider tightening its
credit policy to reduce its DSO. 29

 Credit Standards: Tighter
standards reduce bad debt losses,
but may reduce sales. Fewer bad
debts reduces DSO.
 Collection Policy: Tougher
policy will reduce DSO, but may

Does RR face any risk if it
tightens its credit policy?

© 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use

◼ YES! A tighter credit policy m
a
y
discourage sales. Some customers
may choose to go elsewhere if they
are pressured to pay their bills
sooner.
If RR succeeds in reducing DSO
without adversely affecting sales,
what effect would this have on its
cash position?
 Short run: If customers pay
sooner, this increases cash
holdings.
 Long run: Over time, the company
would hopefully invest the cash in
more productive assets, or pay it out
to shareholders. Both of these
actions would increase EVA. 33
