4. FACTORS INFLUENCING WORKING
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
• Nature of Business
• Seasonality of Operations
• Production Policy
• Market Conditions
• Conditions of Supply
5. WORKING CAPITAL POLICY
Two important issues in working capital policy are:
• What should be the level of investment in current
assets?
• What mix of long-term and short-term financing should
the firm employ to support current assets?
6. LEVEL OF CURRENT ASSETS
Flexible Restrictive
(Conservative) (Aggressive)
Policy Policy
Liquidity High Low
Inventories Large Small
Debtors High Low
A flexible policy results in fewer production stoppages, ensures
quicker deliveries to customers, and stimulates sales .. but
HIGHER INVESTMENT IN CURRENT ASSETS
A restrictive policy leads to more production stoppages, delayed
deliveries to customers, and lost sales … but
LOWER INVESTMENT IN CURRENT ASSETS

8. CURRENT ASSETS FINANCING
POLICY
According to the matching principle, fixed assets and
permanent current assets should be supported by long-
term sources of finance whereas fluctuating current assets
must be supported by short-term sources of finance.
9. PROFIT CRITERION FOR
WORKING CAPITAL
• Investment in current assets is easily reversible.
• For reversible investments, the criterion of net profit per
period (which here means residual income) is equivalent
to the criterion of net present value
