REVIEW OF LITERATURE
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION:
Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories viz.
(i) Fixed capital, and
(ii) Working capital
Every business needs funds for two purposes- for its establishment and to carry out
its day-to-day operations. Long-term funds are required to create production facilities
through purchase of fixed assets such as plant and machinery, land, building, furniture, etc.
Investments in these assets represent that part of firm’s capital which is blocked on a
permanent or fixed basis and is called fixed capital. Funds are also needed foe short-term
purposes for the purchase of raw materials, payment of wages and other day-to-day
expenses, etc. These funds are known as working capital. In simple words, working capital
refers to tat part of the firm’s capital which is required for financing short term or current
assets keep revolving fast and being constantly converted into cash and this cash flows out
again in exchange for other current assets. Hence, it is also known as revolving or circulating
capital or short-term capital.
In the words of Shubin, “working capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover
the cost of operating the enterprise. “
According to Genestenberg, “ Circulating capital means current assets of a company
that are changed in the ordinary course of business from to another, as for example, from
cash to inventories, inventories to receivables, receivables into cash.

10
CLASSIFICATION OR KINDS OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital may be classified in two ways:
(a) On the basis of concept.
(b) On the basis of time.
GROSS WORKING CAPITAL
The gross working capital refers to the firms' investment in the total current assets of
the enterprise. The current assets are those assets with in the ordinary course of business can
converted into cash with in the short period of normally one accounting year.

NET WORKING CAPITAL
The net working capital can be defined into two ways the most common definition of
working capital is difference between current assets and current liabilities.
Net working capital can also be defined as that portion of firm's current assets.
Which are financed with long-term funds?
On the basis of concept, working capital is classified as gross working capital and net
working capital as discussed earlier. This classification is important from the point of view
of the financial manager. On the basis of time, working capital may be classified as:
1. Permanent or fixed working capital.
2. Temporary or variable working capital.
1. Permanent or fixed working capital.
Permanent or fixed working capital is the minimum amount which is required to
ensure effective utilization of fixed facilities and for maintaining the circulation of current
assets. There is always a minimum level of current assets which is continuously required by
the enterprise to carry out its normal business operations. For example, every firm has to
maintain a minimum level of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and cash
balance. This minimum level of current assets is called permanent or fixed working capital.
2. Temporary or variable working capital.
Temporary or variable working capital is the amount of working capital which is
required to meet the seasonal demands and some special exigencies. Most of the enterprises
have to provide additional working capital to meet the seasonal and special needs. The
capital required to meet the seasonal needs of the enterprise is called seasonal working
capital. Special working capital is that part of working capital which is required to meet
special exigencies such as launching of extensive marketing campaigns for conducting
research, etc.

12
IMPORTANCE OR ADVANTAGES OF ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is the life of blood and nerve canter of a business. Just as circulation
of blood is essential in the human body for maintaining life, working capital is very essential
to maintain the smooth running of a business. No business can run successfully without an
adequate amount of working capital. The main advantages of maintaining adequate amount
of working capital are as follows:
1. Solvency of the business. Adequate working capital helps in maintaining
solvency of the business by providing uninterrupted flow of production.
2. Good will. Sufficient working capital enables a business concern to make
prompt payments and hence helps in creating and maintaining goodwill.
3. Easy loans. A concern having adequate working capital, high solvency and
good credit standing can arrange loans from banks and others on easy and
favorable terms.
4. Cash discounts. Adequate working capital also enables a concern to avail cash
discounts on the purchase and hence it reduces costs.
5. Regular supply of raw materials. Sufficient working capital ensures regular
supply of raw materials and continuous production.
6. Regular payment of salaries, wages and other day-to-day
commitments. A company which has ample working capital can make regular
payment of salaries, wages and other day-to-day commitments which raises the
morale of its employees, increases their efficiency, reduces wastages and costs
and enhances production and profits.
7. Exploitation of favorable market conditions. Only concerns with adequate
working capital can exploit favorable market conditions such as purchasing its
requirement in bulk when the prices are lower and by holding its inventories for
higher prices.
8. Ability to face crisis. Adequate working capital enables a concern to face
business crisis in emergencies such as depression because during such periods,
generally, there is much pressure on working capital.

13
9. Quick and regular return on investments. Every Investor wants a quick
and regular return on his investments. Sufficiency of working capital enables a
concern to pay quick and regular dividends to its investors as there may not be
much pressure to plough back profits. This gains the confidence of its investors
and creates a favorable market to raise additional funds in the future.
10. High morale. Adequacy of working capital creates an environment of security,
confidence, high morale and creates overall efficiency in a business.
EXCESS OR INADEQUATE WORKING CAPTIAL
Every business concern should have adequate working capital to run its business
operations. It should have neither redundant or excess working capital nor inadequate nor
shortage of working capital. Both excess as well as short working capital positions are bad
for any business. However, out of the two, it is the inadequacy of working capital which is
more dangerous from the point of view of the firm.
Disadvantages of Redundant or Excessive Working Capital
1. Excessive Working Capital means idle funds which earn no profits for the
business and hence the business cannot earn a proper rate of return on its
investments.
2. When there is a redundant working capital, it may lead to unnecessary purchasing
and accumulation of inventories causing more chances of theft, waste and losses.
3. Excessive working capital implies excessive debtors and defective credit policy
which may cause higher incidence of bad debts.
4. It may result into overall inefficiency in the organization.
5. When there is excessive working capital, relations with banks and other financial
institutions may not be maintained.
6. Due to low rate of return on investments, the value of shares may also fall.
7. The redundant working capital gives rise to speculative transactions.

14
Disadvantages of Inadequate Working Capital
1. A concern which has inadequate working capital cannot pay its short-term
liabilities in time. Thus, it will lose its reputation and shall not be able to get good
credit facilities.
2. It cannot buy its requirements in bulk and cannot avail of discounts, etc.
3. It becomes difficult for the firm to exploit favorable market conditions and
undertake profitable projects due to lack of working capital.
4. The firm cannot pay day-to-day expenses of its operations and it creates
inefficiencies, increases costs and reduces the profits of the business.
5. It becomes impossible to utilize efficiency the fixed assets due to non-availability
of liquid funds.
6. The rate of return on investments also falls with the shortage of working capital.
THE NEED OR OBJECTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
The needs for working capital cannot be over emphasized. Every business needs
some amount of working capital. The needs for working capital arises due to the time gap
between productions and realization of cash from sales. There is an operating cycle involved
in the sales and realization of cash. There are time gaps in purchase of raw materials and
production; production and sales; and sales and realization of cash. Thus working capital is
needed for the following purpose:
For the purchase of raw materials, components and spares.
1. To pay wages and salaries.
2. To incur day- to-day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel, power and
office expenses, etc.
3. To meet the selling costs as packing, advertising, etc.
4. To provide credit facilities to the customers.
5. To maintain the inventories of raw material, work-in-progress, stores and
spares and finished stock.

15
FACTORS DETERMINING THE WORKING CAPTIAL REQUIREMENTS
The working capital requirements of a concern depend upon a large number of
factors such as
1. Nature or Character of Business. The working capital requirements of a firm
basically depend upon the nature of its business. Public utility undertakings like
Electricity, Water Supply and Railways need very limited working capital because they
offer cash sales only and supply services, not products, and as such no funds are tied up
in inventories and receivables. On the other hand trading and financial firms require less
investments in fixed assets but have to invest large amounts in current assets like
inventories, receivables and cash; as such they need large amount of working capital.
2. Size of Business/Scale of Operations. The working capital requirements of a
concern are directly influenced by the size of its business which may be measured in
terms of scale of operations. Greater the size of a business unit, generally larger will be
the requirements of working capital. However, in some cases even a smaller concern
may need more working capital due to high overhead charges, inefficient use of
available resources and other economic disadvantages of small size.
3. Production Policy. In certain industries the demand is subject to wide fluctuations due
to seasonal variations. The requirements of working capital, in such cases, depend upon
the production policy. The production could be kept either steady by accumulating
inventories during slack periods with a view to meet high demand during the peak
season or the production could be curtailed during the slack season and increased during
the peak season. If the policy is to keep production steady by accumulating inventories it
will require higher working capital.
4. Manufacturing Process/Length of Production Cycle. In manufacturing business,
the requirements of working capital increase in direct proportion to length of
manufacturing process. Longer the process period of manufacture, larger is the amount
of working capital required. The longer the manufacturing time, the raw materials and
other supplies have to be carried for a longer period in the process with progressive
increment of labour and service costs before the finished product is finally obtained.

16
5. Seasonal Variations. In certain industries raw materials is not available throughout the
year. They have to buy raw materials in bulk during the season to ensure an
uninterrupted flow and process them during the entire year. A huge amount is, thus,
blocked in the form of material inventories during such season, which gives rise to more
working capital requirements. Generally, during the busy season, a firm requires larger
working capital than in the slack season.
6. Working Capital Cycle. In a manufacturing concern, the working capital cycle starts
with the purchase of raw material and ends with the realization of cash from the sale of
finished products. The cycle involves purchase of raw materials and stores, its
conversion into stocks of finished goods through work-in-progress with progressive
increment of labour and services costs, conversion of finished stock into sales, debtors
and receivables and ultimately realization of cash and this cycle continues again from
cash to purchase of raw material and so on
The speed with which the working capital completes one cycle determines the
requirements of working capital-longer the period of the cycle larger are the requirement of
working capital.

17
PRINCIPLES OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT/POLICY
The following are the general principal of a sound working capital management
policy:
1. Principle of Risk Variation. Risk here refers to the inability of a firm to meet
its obligations as and when they become due for payment. Larger investment in
current assets with less dependence on short-term borrowings increases liquidity,
reduces dependence on short-term borrowing increases liquidity, reduces risk and
thereby decreases the opportunity for gain or loss. On the other hand less
investment in current assets with greater dependence on short-term borrowing
increases risk, reduces liquidity and increases profitability. In other words, there
is a definite inverse relationship between the degree of risk and profitability. A
conservative management prefers to minimize risk by maintaining a higher level
of current assets or working capital while a liberal management should be
establish a suitable trade off between profitability and risk. The various working
capital policies indicating the relationship between current assets and sales are
depicted below:
2. Principle of Cost of Capital. The various sources of raising working capital
finance have different cost of capital and the degree of risk involved. Generally,
higher the risk lower is the cost and lower the risk higher is the cost. A sound
working capital management should always try to achieve a proper balance
between these two.
3. Principle of Equity Position. This principle is concerned with planning the
total investment in current assets. According to this principle, the amount of
working capital invested in each component should be adequately justified by a
firm’s equity position. Every rupee invested in the current assets should
contribute to the net worth of the firm. The level of current assets may be
measured with the help of two ratios: (i) current assets as a percentage of total
assets and (ii )current assets as a percentage of total sales. While deciding about
the composition of current assets, the financial manager considers the relevant
industrial averages.

18
4. Principle of Maturity of payment. This principle is concerned with planning
the sources of finance for working capital. According to this principle, a firm
should make every effort to relate maturities of payment to its flow of internally
generated funds. Maturity pattern of various current obligations is an important
factor in risk assumptions and risk assessments. Generally,
shorter the maturity schedule of current liabilities in relation to expected cash
inflows, the greater the inability to meet its obligations in time.
ESTIMATED WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT:
“Working capital is the life-blood and controlling nerve centre of business.” No
business can be successfully run without an adequate amount of working capital. To avoid
the shortage of working capital at once, an estimate of working capital requirements should
be made in advance so that arrangements can be made to procure adequate working capital.
But estimation of working capital requirements is not an easy task and a large number of
factors have to be considered before starting this exercise.

19
COMPONENTS OF CURRENT ASSETS:
(i) Cash (in hand, in bank, and in transit)
(ii) Investments (short-term only, and not long-term)
(iii) Inventories (raw materials and consumable stores and spares, work-in-
process, and finished goods)
(iv) Sundry Debtors (also known Bills Receivable and Accounts
Receivable)
(v) Loans and advances (granted by the Company)
COMPONENTS OF CURRENT LIABILITIES
(i) Sundry Creditors (also known as Bills Payable and Accounts Payable)
(ii) Trade Advances (given to the company for supply of goods)
(iii) Short-term Borrowings from Banks and Others
(iv) Provisions (for taxes, bad debts, exchange rate fluctuations, etc.)
Better business sense, however, calls for keeping the currents assets at the minimal
level, whereby minimum sources of funds, (both current and non-current Liabilities), may be
required to finance them, and thereby, the “inventory carrying Costs”, and the “interests
outgo” may as well be kept at the minimal level

20
WHY WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Effective management and control of the various components of working capital has
been rated as one of the most important and vital functions of financial management in any
of the industrial and business units, based on varied parameters, discussed hereunder:
A. Flexibility
Working capital Management is highly flexible in nature, so much so that it can very
easily be adapted to suit even extreme conditions, like rising and falling demands in peak
and off seasons, buoyant and sluggish economic and market conditions, etc. Further, if some
inappropriate policy or procedure is detected at a later stage, remedial and right steps can be
adopted henceforth, any time. This, however, is not the position in the case of project
management.
B. Level of investments in various components of current assets
Investments in current assets constitute a very substantial percentage (Usually more than
50%) of the total investments in most of the Indian companies and firms.
C. Criticality
The under mentioned fact itself can bring home the extent of crucially and Criticality of
Working Capital Management.
One of the components of the Working Capital can make such a dramatic difference, the
importance of meticulous management of all the components of the Working Capital (viz.
Current Assets, Current Liabilities and even a portion of the deferred liabilities) can very
well be imagined and appreciated.
D. Quantum of efforts and time
Empirical study and observations have revealed that a major portion of the time of the
Finance Managers, in most of the companies, is devoted (and rightly so) towards the
management of the various components of the working capital, with a view to maximizing
their profitability, and the prospects and prosperity therewith.

assets, which consists of net fixed assets and net current assets. Net current assets include
current assets minus current liabilities excluding interest-bearing short-term debt.

NET WORKING CAPITAL RATIO
The difference between current assets and current liabilities excluding short-term
borrowing is called net working capital (NWC) or net current assets (NCA). NWC is
sometimes used as a measure of a firm’s liquidity. It is considered that between two firms,
the one having the larger NWC has the greater ability to meet its current obligations. This is
not necessary so the measure of liquidity is a relationship, rather than the difference between
current assets and current liabilities. NEC however measures the firm’s potential reservoir
funds. It can be related to net assets.
Net working capital
Net working capital ratio = ---------------------------------------
Net assets
Net working capital means current assets minus current liabilities. Net assets refers
to the depreciation should be subtracted from the fixed assets.

equivalent to current liabilities. Trade investment or marketable securities are equivalent of
cash : their fore they may be included in the composition of cash ratio.
Cash ratio = cash + marketable securities/current liabilities.

decreased by rs.342 lakhs and in the year 2013 it is increased by rs.2145 lakhs.
So it is fluctuating more.
 It is find out that the current ratio is more than 2:1 except in the years 31-3-
2014(i.e1.75)
 It is find out that the quick ratio position is satisfactory because in all 5 years it is
more than the idle ratio ie.1:1.
 From the leverage ratios we can find out that the lenders contribution is

12.3).
 In the year 2013-13 Creditors turn over ratio is very high (i.e. 2.3).

74
SUGGESTIONS
 Working capital is fluctuating so it is better to maintain sufficient level.
 The company has high inventory turnover ratio is indicates high inventory cost. So, it
is better to maintain optimum level of inventory.
 Debtors turnover ratio is in last two years increased it creates more bad debts so it is
suggested that to decrease the debtors turnover ratio.
 Creditors turnover ratio is decreased it creates creditors are not utilizing credit
period. So it is better to increase.
 The cash ratio is in low position it is better to maintain idle ratio 1:1 to meet liquid
position.

75
CONCLUSION
As Kotak Mahindra Bank was entered a joint venture with italicementi which is
the second largest cement producer in Europe. So it needs to improve its activities in
fewer fields/activities to get its quality increase and also to increase the customer base in
