This segment has been growing at the rate of 15% yearly. Around 54% of PVC is used in the manufacturing of pipes and 14% is used in the production of cable sheathing. The cost of PVC was Rs. 44.95 per kg in 1999. The main companies involved in the production RIL. Polypropylene is a very light weight polymer and that is the main reason why it is used as a substitute for various other polymers. During 1997-1998, around 11,000 tons of poly propylene was imported. Over the last 3 years, the demand for this product has increased by 38% and now stands at 595000 tons. The price of polypropylene was Rs 47.50 per kg in 1999. It is mainly used in manufacture of injection molding, BOPP, ropes twines, and in India, low- density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear segment of polymers is growing at the rate of 12%per year.

B) INTRODUCTION OF SUBJECT: WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT-I


Definition:Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost of operating the enterprises. -by Shubin.

Meaning of working capital:Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories viz., i) ii) Fixed capital and 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 etc. Investments in these assets represent that part of firms capital which is blocked on a permanent or fixed basis is called fixed capital.

Funds are also needed for short term purpose 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 that part of the firms capital, which is required for financing short term or current assets such as cash, marketable securities, debtors and inventories. Kinds of working capital: Working capital may be classified in two ways: a) b) On the basis of concept. On the basis of time.

On the basis of concept: Gross working capital: It is the amount of funds invested in the various components of

current assets. It has the following advantages. a) Finance managers are mainly concerned with management of current assets.
b) It enables a firm to release the greatest returns on its investments.

c) It enables a firm to plan and control the funds at its disposal. d) It helps in the fixation of various areas of financial responsibility. ii) Net working capital : It is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. The concept of net working capital enables a firm to determine the exact amount available at its disposal for operational requirements. b) i) On the basis of time: Permanent or fixed working capital: It is the minimum amount of investment in all current assets which is regarded at all times to carry on minimum level of business activities. The operating cycle is a continuous process and therefore, the need for

current assets. But the magnitude of current assets and decreases overtime. Features of permanent working capital: a) b) Amount of permanent working capital remains in the business in one form or another. There is a positive co-relation between the amount of permanent working capital and the size of the business ii) Temporary or variable working capital: It is also called as fluctuating working capital. It is the amount of working capital which is required to meet the seasonal and some special exigencies. Variable working capital can be further classified as seasonal working capital and special working capital. a) Seasonal working capital: The capital required to meet the seasonal needs of the enterprise is called seasonal working capital. b) Special working capital: It is that part of working capital which is required to meet special exigencies such as launching of extensive marketing campaigns for conducting research, etc. Problems associated with excess and inadequate working capital: Both the excessive and the inadequate working capital positions are dangerous from the firms point of view. Excess working capital results in idle funds, which do not earn any return for the firm. Shortage of

working capital impairs firms profitability because of production interruptions.

Dangers of Excess Working Capital: 1) It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventories. Thus, the chances of inventory mishandling, waste, theft and loses increase. 2) It is an indication of defective credit policy and stack collection period. Consequently, higher incidence of bad debts adversely affects profits. 3) Excessive working capital makes management complacent, which degenerates into managerial inefficiency. 4) Tendencies of accumulating inventories to make speculative profits grow. Dangers of Inadequate Working Capital: a) It stagnates growth. It becomes difficult for the firm to undertake profitable projects due to non-availability of the working capital funds. b) It becomes difficult to implement operating plans and achieve the firms profit target. c) Operating inefficiencies creep in when it becomes difficult even to meet day-to-day commitments.

d)

Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized for the lack of working capital funds. Thus, the rate of return on investment slumps. Therefore, every firm should aim at maintaining a right amount of

working capital on a continuous basis.

Determinants of working capital: A large number of factors influence working capital needs of a firm. The basic objective of working capital management is to manage the firms current assets and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of a working capital is maintained. The following factors determine the amount of working capital: 1) Nature of industry: The composition of current assets is a function of the size of a business and the industry to which it belongs. Small companies have smaller proportions of cash, receivables and inventory than large corporations. This difference becomes more marked in large corporations of public utility concern for examples, mostly employ fixed assets in its operations, needs for working capital are thus determined by the nature of an enterprise. 2) Size of business: The size of business has also an important impact on its working capital needs. Size may be measured in terms of a scale of operation. A

Lal Bahadhur Shastri Government First Grade College

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

firm with large-scale operation will need more working capital than a small firm. 3) Manufacturing cycle: Longer the manufacturing process, the higher will be the requirements of working capital and vice versa. This is because of the fact that highly capital-intensive industries require a large amount of working capital to run their sophisticated and long production process. 4) Production policy: The production policies pursued by the management have a significant effect on the requirements of working capital of the business. The production schedule has a great influence on the level of inventories; the decision of the management regarding automation etc. will also have its effects on working capital requirements. 5) Volume of sales: This is the most important factor affecting the size and components of working capital. A firm maintains current assets because they are needed to support the operational activities, which result in sales. The volume of sales and the working capital are directly related to each other. As the volume of sales increases, there is an increase in the investment of working capital. 6) Terms of purchases and sales: A firm, which allows liberal credits to its customers, may enjoy higher sales but will need more working capital as compared to firm enforcing strict credit terms. The working capital requirements are also affected by the credit facilities enjoyed by the firm. A firm enjoying

10

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

liberal credit facilities from its suppliers requires lower amount of working capital as compared to a firm, which does not enjoy such liberal credit facilities. 7) Business cycle: Business expands during the period of prosperity and declines during the period of depression. Consequently, more working capital is required during the period of prosperity and less during the period of depression. Under boom, additional investment in fixed assets may be made by some firms to increase this productive capacity. This act of the firm will require further additions of working capital, to meet their requirement of funds for fixed assets and current assets under boom period the firms generally resort to substantial borrowings. 8) Fluctuations in the supply of raw materials: Certain companies have to obtain and maintain large reserves of raw materials due to their irregular sales and intermittent supply. This is particularly true in case of companies requiring special kind of raw materials available only from one or two sources. Thus in this case the working capital requirements in such industries would be large. 9) Price level changes: The increasing shifts in price levels make the functions of financial manager difficult. He should anticipate the effect of price level changes on working capital requirements of the firm. Generally rising price levels will require a firm to maintain higher amount of working capital. The same levels of current assets will need increased investment when prices are increasing.

10)

Operating efficiency: The operating efficiency of the firm relates to the optimum

utilization of resources at minimum cost. The firm will be effectively contributing costs. Although it may not be possible for a firm to control the prices of materials or the wage of labour, it can certainly ensure efficient and effective use of its materials, labour and other resources.

11)

Profit Margin: Firms differ in their capacity to generate profit from business

operations. Some firm enjoy a dominant position, due to quality product or good marketing management or monopoly power in the market and earn a high profit margin, some other firms may have to operate in an environment of intense competition and may earn low margin of profits. 12) Profit Appropriation: Even if net profits are earned in cash at the end of the period, whole of it is not available for working capital purposes, the contribution towards working capital would be affected by the way in which profits are appropriated. The availability of cash generated from operations thus, depends upon taxation, dividend, retention policy and depreciation policy.

Principles of working capital management or policy: The following are the general principles of a sound working capital management Principles of working capital management

Principles Principles of risk of cost of 1) variation Principles of risk variation: capital

Principles of equity position

Principles of maturity

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 increase liquidity, reduces dependence on short-term borrowings increase liquidity, reduces risk and thereby decreases the opportunity for gain or loss. 2) Principles of Cost of Capital: The various source of raising working capital have different cost of capital and the degree of risk involved. Generally, higher the risk lower is the cost and lower the risk higher the cost. A sound working capital management should always try to achieve the balance between these two sources. 3) Principles of Equity Position: It 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 firms equity portion. Every rupee invested in the current assets should contribute to the net worth of the firm. The finance manager may consider the relevant industrial averages. 4) Principles of Maturity of Payment:

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

It is concerned with planning the sources of finance for working capital according to this principles, a firm should make 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.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT-II


(Cash, Receivables and Inventory Management) Management of Cash Introduction: Cash is one of the current assets of a business. It is needed at all times to keep the business going. A business concern should always keep sufficient cash for meeting it obligations. Any shortages of cash will hamper the operations of a concern and any excess of it will be unproductive. Cash is the most unproductive of all the assets. While fixed assets like machinery, plant etc. and current assets such as inventory will help the business in increasing its earning capacity

Motives for holding cash: The firms needs for cash may be attributed to the following needs:

Motive holding cash

Transaction Motive

Precautionary motive

Speculative motive
14

Lal Bahadhur Shastri Government First Grade College

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

Some people are of the view that are business requires cash only for the first two motives while other feel that speculative motive also remains. These motives are discussed as follows: 1) Transaction Motive: A firm needs cash for making transaction in the day-to day operations. The cash is needed to make purchases, pay expenses, taxes, dividend, etc. the cash needs arise due to the fact that this is no complete synchronization between cash receipts and payments sometimes, cash receipts exceed cash payments or vice-versa. The receipts in future may be also anticipated but the things do not happen as desired. If more cash is needed for payments than receipts, it may be raised through bank overdraft. On the other hand if there are more cash receipts than payments, it may be spent on marketable securities. 2) Precautionary motive: A firm is required to keep cash for meeting various contingencies. Though cash inflows and cash outflows are anticipated but these may be variations in this estimate. For example, a debtor who was to pay after 7 day may inform of his inability to pay. In these situations cash receipts will be less then expected and cash payment will be more, as purchases may have to be made for cash instead of credit. Such contingencies often arise in a business. A firm should keep certain cash for such a situations or contingencies. 3) Speculative Motive: It relates to holding of cash for investing in profitable opportunities as and when they arise. Such an opportunities do not come in a regular

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

manner. These opportunities cannot be scientifically predicted but only conjectures can be made about their occurrence for example, the pieces of raw materials may fall temporarily and a firm may like to make purchases at these prices. Such opportunities can be availed of if a firm has cash balance with it. The primary motive of a firm is not to indulge in speculative transactions but such investments may be made at times. Goals of Cash Management: The primary aim or goal of cash management in a firm is to strike trade-off between liquidity and profitability in order to maximize longterm profit. It is possible only when the firm aims to optimizing the use of funds in the working capital pool. This overall objective can be translated into the following operational goals: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) To satisfy day-to-day business requirements; To provide for scheduled major payments; To face unexpected cash drains; To seize potential investments; opportunities for profitable long-term

To meet requirements of banks relationship; To build image of creditworthiness; To earn on cash balance;

viii) To build reservoir for net cash inflows till the availability of better uses of funds by conscious planning; ix) x) To minimize the operating costs of cash management; To maintain minimum cash resources;

xi) xii)

To determine criteria for investment of excess cash; To determine the safety level for cash;

xiii) To regulate the cash inflows and cash outflows. Receivables Management: Introduction: Receivables represent amounts owned to the firm as a result of sale of goods of services in the ordinary course of business. These are claims of the firm against its customers and form part of its current assets. Receivables are also known as account receivables, trade receivables, customer receivables or book debts. The receivables are carried for the customers. The period of credit and extent of receivable depends upon the credit policy followed by the firm. Factors influence the size of receivables: Besides sales a number of other factors also influence the size of receivables. The following factors directly and indirectly affect the size of receivables, 1) Size of credit sales: The volume of credit sales is the first factor, which increases or decreases the size of receivables. If a concern sells only on cash basis, as in the cash of Bata Shoe Company, then there will be no receivables. The higher the part of credit sales out of total sales, figures of receivables will also be more or vice versa. 2) Credit policies:

Lal Bahadhur Shastri Government First Grade College

17

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

A firm with consecutive credit policy will have a low size of receivables while a firm with liberal credit policy will be increasing this figure. If collections are prompt then even if credit is liberally extended the size of receivables. 3) Terms of Trade: The size of receivables also depends upon the terms of trade. The period of credit allowed and rates of discount given are linked with receivables. If credit period allowed is more than receivables will be also more. 4) Expansion plans: When a concern wants to expand its activities, it will have to enter new markets, to attract customers, it will give incentives in the form of credit facilities. In the early stages of expansion more credit becomes essential and size of receivables will be more. 5) Relation with profits: The credit policy is followed with a view to increase sales. When than the increase in revenues. It will be beneficial to increase sales beyond a point because it will be beneficial to increase sales beyond a point because it will be more profits.

6)

Credit collection efforts:

Lal Bahadhur Shastri Government First Grade College

18

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

The collection of credit should be streamlined. The customers should be sent periodical remainders if they reduce to pay in time. If these efforts are slower than outstanding amounts will be more. 7) Habits of customers: The paying habits of customers also have a bearing on the size of Receivables. The concern should remain in Touch with such customers and should make them realize the urgency of Their needs. Cost of maintaining receivables: The allowing of credit to customers means giving of funds for the Customers use. The concern incurs the following costs on maintaining receivables: 1) Cost of financing receivables: When goods and services are provided on credit then concerns capital is allowed to be used by the customers. The receivables are financed from the funds supplied by shareholders for long term financing and through retained earnings. 2) Cost of collection: A proper collection of receivables is essential for receivables management. The customers who do not pay the money during a stipulated credit period are sent remainders for early payments. In some cases legal recourse may have to be taken for collecting receivables. 3) Bad debts:
19

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

Some customers may fall to pay the amount due towards them. The amounts, which the customers fall to play, are known as bad debts. Though a concern may be able to reduce bad debts through efficient collection machinery but one cannot altogether rule out this cost. Inventory Management: Introduction Every enterprise needs inventory for smooth running of its activities. It serves as a link between production and distribution processes. There is generally, a time lag between the recognition of a need and its fulfillment, the greater the higher the requirements for inventory. The investment in inventories constitutes the most significant part of current assets/working capital in most of the under takings. Thus, it is very essential to have proper control and management of inventories.

Meaning: The word inventory is understood differently by various authors. In accounting language it may mean stock of finished goods only. In a manufacturing concern, it may include raw materials, work-in-progress and stores etc. The dictionary meaning of inventory is stock of goods or a list of goods.
Lal Bahadhur Shastri Government First Grade College 20

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

Risk and cost holding inventories: The holding of inventories involves blocking of a firms funds and incurrence of capital and other costs. It also exposes the firm to certain risks. The various costs and risks involved in holding inventories are as below: a) Capital costs: Maintaining of inventories results in blocking of the firms financial resources. The firms has, therefore, to average for additional funds to meet the cost of inventories. The funds may be arranged from own resources or from outsiders. But in both the cases, the firm incurs a cost. In the former case, there is an opportunity cost of investment while in the later case, the firms has to pay interest to the outsiders. b) Storage and handling costs: Holding of inventories also involves costs on storage as well as handling of materials. The storage costs include the rental of the god own, insurance charges etc.

c)

Risk of price decline: There is always a risk of reduction in the pieces of inventories by

the suppliers in holding inventories. This may be due to increased market supplies, competition or general depression in the market. d) Risk of obsolescence:

21

The Study of Working Capital Management of SLN POLYMERS LTD

The inventories may become obsolete due to improved technology changes in requirements, change in customers tastes etc. e) Risk deterioration in quality: The quality of the materials may also deteriorate while the inventories are kept in stores. Objectives of inventory management: The following are the objectives of inventory management: 1) 2) To avoid both over-stocking and under-stocking of inventory. To ensure continuous supply of materials spares and finished goods so that production should not suffer at any time and the customer demand should also be met. 3) To maintain investments in inventories at the optimum level of as required by the operational and sales activities. 4) To design proper organization for inventory management. A clearcut accountability should be actually lying in the stores. 5) To facilitate furnishing of data for short term planning and control of inventory.
