WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Working Capital is a measure of both a company's efficiency and its short-term financial
health. Working capital is calculated as:
The working capital ratio (Current Assets/Current Liabilities) indicates whether a company
has enoughshort term assets to cover its short term debt. Anything below 1 indicates negative
W/C (working capital). While anything over 2 means that the company is not investing
excess assets. Most believe that a ratio between 1.2 and 2.0 is sufficient. Also known as "net
working capital".
Total or gross working capital is that working capital which is used for all the current assets.
Total value of current assets will equal to gross working capital. In simple words, it is total
cash and cash equivalent on hand. But remember, we do not account of current liabilities in
gross working capital.
Net working capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.
This amount shows that if we deduct total current liabilities from total current assets, then
balance amount can be used for repayment of long term debts at any time. It also measure of
both a company's efficiency and its short-term FINANCIAL health.
Permanent working capital is that amount of capital which must be in cash or current assets
for continuing the activities of business. It also shows the minimum amount of all current
assets that is required at all times to ensure a minimum level of uninterrupted business
operations.
Page | 7
Temporary Working Capital
Sometime, it may possible that we have to pay fixed liabilities, at that time we need working
capital which is more than permanent working capital, then this excess amount will be
temporary working capital. In normal working of business, we dont need such capital.
It means current assets is more than current liabilities which implies that CL is not sufficient
enough to finance CA
It means current liabilities more than current assets which implies that current liabilities are
sufficient enough to finance current assets.

Treatment of undrawn profit
Meaning
The word cash cost implies that at the time of estimating the working capital we have to
consider only those expenses which involves cash outflow that is we have to exclude the
notional expenditure normally it is depreciation as well as exclude the profit element.
Depreciation is to be excluded from the closing stock of W.I.P and finished goods as well as
debtors while profit element is to be excluded from debtors only.
When to calculate cash cost of working capital under following circumstances. We have to
calculate cash cost of working capital
Page | 10
Methods of calculation of cash cost
Direct Method
At the time of estimating working capital exclude depreciation from closing stock of
W.I.P and finished goods as well as debtors and exclude profit element from debtors.
Indirect Method
In this method we have to calculate normal working capital including depreciation &
profit element & in the second statement find out cash cost of working capital as per
following format.
Less: Depreciation
Debtors x (-) x

Management of working capital
Cash management
Identify the cash balance which allows for the business to meet day to day expenses, but
reduces cash holding costs.
Inventory management.
Identify the level of inventory which allows for uninterrupted production but reduces the
investment in raw materials and minimizes reordering costs and hence increases cash
flow. Besides this, the lead times in production should be lowered to reduce Work in
Process (WIP) and similarly, the Finished Goods should be kept on as low level as
possible to avoid over production see Supply chain management; Just In
Time (JIT); Economic order quantity (EOQ); Economic quantity
Debtors management
Identify the appropriate credit policy, i.e. credit terms which will attract customers, such
that any impact on cash flows and the cash conversion cycle will be offset by increased
revenue and hence Return on Capital (or vice versa); see Discounts and allowances.
Short-term financing
Identify the appropriate source of financing, given the cash conversion cycle: the
inventory is ideally financed by credit granted by the supplier; however, it may be
necessary to utilize a bank loan (or overdraft), or to "convert debtors to cash" through
"factoring".

VARIOUS LEVELS OF INVENTORIES
Re-ordering level:
This level is fixed somewhere between the maximum level and the minimum level in such a
way that the quantity of materials represented by the difference between the re-ordering level
and the minimum level will be sufficient to meet the demands of production till such time as
the materials are replenished. Reorder level depends mainly on the maximum rate of
consumption and order lead time. When this level is reached, the store keeper will initiate the
purchase requisition.
maximum limit or maximum stock. The function of maximum level is essential to avoid
obsolescence of materials, extra overheads and temptation to thefts etc. This level can be
determined with the following formula. Maximum Stock level = Reordering level +
Reordering quantity (Minimum Consumption x Minimum re-ordering period
It represents the lowest quantity of a particular material below whichSTOCK should not be
allowed to fall. This level must be maintained at every time so that production is not held up
due to shortage of any material.
It is that level of inventories of which a fresh order must be placed to replenish the stock.
This level is usually determined through the following formula:
Page | 13
Minimum Level = Re-ordering level (Normal rate of consumption x Normal delivery
period)
fall. Danger level is slightly below the minimum level and therefore the purchases manager
should make special efforts to acquire required materials and stores.
carrying them tends to be higher. Likewise if purchases are made in smaller quantities,
holding costs are lower while purchasing costs tend to be higher.
Hence, the most economic buying quantity or the optimum quantity should be determined by
the purchase department by considering the factors such as cost of ordering, holding or
carrying.

A stands for annual requirements of an item in terms of rupees;
I stand for inventory carrying cost per unit per year in rupees.
purchase budget should be prepared well in advance. The budget for production and
consumable material and for capital and maintenance material should be separately prepared.
Sales budget generally provide the basis for preparation of production plans. Therefore, the
first step in the preparation of a purchase budget is the establishment of sales budget.
As per the production plan, material schedule is prepared depending upon the amount and
return contained in the plan. To determine the net quantities to be procured, necessary
adjustments for thestock already held is to be made.
They are valued as standard rate or currentmarket. In this way, material procurement budget
At periodical intervals actuals are compared with the budgeted figures and reported to
management which provide a suitable basis for controlling the purchase of materials,
inventory system. The basic objective of this system is to make available details about the
quantity and value of stock of each item at all times. Thus, this system provides a rigid
control over stock of materials as physical stock can be regularly verified with the stock
records kept in the stores and the cost office.
Page | 15
Establishing Proper Purchase Procedures:
A proper purchase procedure has to be established and adopted to ensure necessary inventory
control. The following steps are involved.
material requirements. The initiation of purchase begins with the receipts of a purchase
requisition by the purchase department.
authorisation to the supplier to supply a specified quality and quantity of material at the
specified time and place mentioned at the stipulated terms.
These are calculated to minimise the inventory by the use of the following formula:
Inventory Turnover Ratio
= Cost of goods consumed/sold during the period/Average inventory held during the period
Page | 16
The ratio indicates how quickly the inventory is used for production. Higher the ratio, shorter
will be the duration of inventory at the factory. It is the index of efficiency of material
management.
The comparison of various inventory turnover ratios at different items with those of
these inventories so that the manufacturing process does not suffer due to shortage of such
inventories.
Page | 17
Perpetual inventory control system:
In a large b essential to have information about continuous availability of different types of
materials and stores purchased, issued and their balance in hand. The perpetual inventory
control
system enables the manufacturer to know about the availability of these materials and stores
without undergoing the cumbersome process of physicalSTOCK taking.
Under this method, proper information relating to receipt, issue and materials in hand is kept.
The main objective of this system is to have accurate information about the stock level of
every item at any time.
Perpetual inventory control system cannot-be successful unless and until it is accompanied by
a system of continuous stock taking i.e., checking the total stock of the concern 3/4 times a
year by picking 10/15 items daily (as against physical stock taking which takes place once a
year).
The items are taken in rotation. In order to have more effective control, the process of
continuousstock taking is usually undertaken by a person other than the storekeeper. This will
check the functioning of storekeeper also.
The items may be selected at random to have a surprise check. The success of the system of
perpetual inventory control depends upon the proper implementation of the system of
continuous stock taking.

6. ABC analysis:
In order to exercise effective control over materials, A.B.C. (Always Better Control) method
is of immense use. Under this method materials are classified into three categories in
accordance with their respective values. Group A constitutes costly items which may be
only 10 to 20% of the total items but account for about 50% of the total value of the stores.
A greater degree of control is exercised to preserve these items. Group B consists of items
which constitutes 20 to 30% of the store items and represent about 30% of the total value of
stores.
A reasonable degree of care may be taken in order to control these items. In the last category
i.e. group Q about 70 to 80% of the items is covered costing about 20% of the total value.
This can be referred to as residuary category. A routine type of care may be taken in the case
of third category.
This method is also known as stock control according to value method, selective value
approach and proportional parts value approach.
If this method is applied with care, it ensures considerable reduction in the storage expenses
and it is also greatly helpful in preserving costly items.

KESORAM CEMENT INDUSTRIES LIMITED
PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRY:
The 85-year old Indian cement industry is one of the cardinal and basic infrastructure
industries which enjoys core sector status and played crucial role in the economic
development and growth of a country. Being a core sector this industry was subject to price
and distribution controls almost uninterruptedly from world war-II.
When government of India announced the partial decontrol manufacturing cement became
increasingly attractive and the industry experienced substantial expansion. As the supply in
response to the 1982 partial decontrol was significant in March 1989, price and distribution
control were finally dispensed with .It was one of the first Major industries in the country to
be so deregulated.
The word cement means any substance applied for sticking things. But cement is most
vital and important material for modem construction as a binding agent .In the ancient times
,clay ,bricks and stones have been used for construction work.
The Romans were using a binding or a cementing material that would harden under
water. The first systematic effort was made by SMEATION who under took the erection of a
new lighthouse in 1756.he observed that the production Obtained by burning limestone was
the best cementing material for work under water.

By 1913 however three units started their operations with a combined
installed capacity Of 75000 tones per annum. In 1914 indigenous production fees
for short of domestic demand necessitating an import of 1,65,723 tones .Shipment
difficulties and foreign Trade during the first world war acted as a catalyst
for the development of indigenous Industry and by 1924 the total installed
capacity grew to 5,59,800 tones per annum.
In 1963 all the cement companies with the exception of SONE VALLEY PORTLAND
CEMENT COMPANY LIMITED merged to form the ASSOCIATED CEMENT
COMPANIES LIMITED. This has more facilitated a cost reduction as well as
uniformly in quality. By 1947 the installed capacity of the industry raised to
2.2million tones per annum. After partition 5 of the cement producing units
in the country went to Pakistan And total installed capacity of 18 units that
remained in India was 1.5 million tonnes per Annum .
DEFINITION OF CEMENT:
Page | 21
CLASSIFICATION OF CEMENT:
Cement is of 3 types
1. Puzzolantic cement
2. Nature cement and
3. Portland cement
Puzzolantic cement:
It consists of mixture of silicate of calcium and aluminum .it shows the hydraulic properties
when it is in the form of powder and being mixed with suitable proportions of suitable
Proportion of lime
The rate of hardening is much slower and the comprehensive strength developed is about
half of Portland cement .it is found more resistant to the chemical action than others.
Natural cement:
This is nature occurring material it is obtained from cement rocks these cement
rocks are claying lime stones containing silicates and aluminates of calcium the
Selling property of this cement is more than the Portland cement but the
comprehensive is half of it.
Portland cement:
This is of various kinds
1. ordinary Portland cement
2. rapid hardening Portland cement
3. low heat cement
4. white colored cement
5. water proof Portland cement
6. Portland slang cement
7. port land puzzling cement
8. sulfate resisting
