Working capital is one of the most important requirements of any business concern.
Working capital can be compared with the blood of human beings, as human cannot survive
without blood, in the same way no business concern can survive without capital.
1
MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Every business needs funds for two purposes for its establishment and to carry out its day
to day operations. To carry out day-to-day operations such as for purchase of raw materials,
payment of wages and other day-to-day expenses, funds are required. These funds are known as
working capital.
In other words working capital refers to the funds invested in current assets.
Because of its close relationship with day to day operations of business, a study of
working capital and its management is of major importance to internal, as well as external
Neglect of management of working capital may result in technical insolvency and even
With receivables and inventories tending to grow and with increasing demand for bank
credit in the wake of strict regulations of credit in India by the central bank, mangers need to
develop a long term prospective for managing working capital. Inefficient working capital
management may cause either inadequate or excessive working capital which is dangerous.
A firm may have to face the following adverse consequences from inadequate working
capital:
Growth may be stunned. It may become difficult for the firm to undertake profitable
2
Implementation of operating plans may become difficult and consequently the firms
Operating inefficiencies may creep in due to difficulties in meeting even day to day
commitments.
Fixed assets may not be efficiently utilized due to lack working funds, thus lowering the
Attractive credit opportunities may have to be lost due to paucity of working capital.
CURRENT LIABILITIES
Creditors, that is the people from whom we purchase on credit basis
Accruals that is , those expenses in respect of which, the liability has arisen. In other words the
expenses have fallen due and hence to incurred, such as interest, salaries, taxes and so on.
Bills payable these are the bills of exchange against which money is to be paid within a short
period.
3
NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL
The company will not be in a position to purchase raw materials, pay wags and other
expenses required for manufacturing the goods. Therefore sufficient amount of working capital
is to be maintained at any point of time.
A firm must have adequate working capital i.e., as much as needed by the firm. It should
neither be excessive nor inadequate. Both the situation are harmful to the concern. Excessive
working capital means the firm has idle funds, which earn no profits for the firm inadequate
working capital ultimately results in production interruptions and lowering down of the
profitability.
4
It will be interesting to understand the relationship between working capital, risk and
return in manufacturing concern. It is generally accepted that higher levels of working capital
because the risk and have the potential of increasing the profitability also.
Examples of the current assets are cash in hand, bank balance, bills receivable, sundry
debtors, short term loans and advance, stocks, temporary investments, prepaid expenses, accrued
incomes.
5
In a narrow sense, the term working capital refers to the net working capital. Net
working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities the net working
capital can be positive or negative. Current liabilities are those liabilities, which have taken due
and hence to be incurred in short period normally one accounting year.
Examples of current liabilities are Bills payable, sundry creditors or accounts payable,
accrued or outstanding expenses, short term loans and advances, dividends payable bank
overdraft, provisions.
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
The nature of business has an important bearing on its working capital needs. Some
ventures like retail stores, construction companies etc., require an abundance of working capital.
In order cases, such as power generations and supply, the current assets play a minor and
secondary role.
2. SIZE OF BUSINESS
A large firm operation on a large scale and thus requires more working capital as
compared to a smaller firm in the same line of business.
4. BUSINESS CYCLES
6
Business cycles refers to economic phases like boon, recession, depression, recovery etc.,
these market conditions change the demand for products and services in all the industries. In
boon times, there is un using in business activity the need for working capital also grows,
particularly the temporary working capital. Similarly during depression, when there is fall in
activity level, the need for working capital also declines.
5. SEASONAL VARIATIONS
For seasonal industries like woolen garments, ice cream etc., having seasonal fluctuations
in demand, the working capital requirements also change with changes in demand. In such
industries, during active season, there is necessary to provide additional working capital to meet
additional inventories and book debts as well as higher costs for increased production. Similarly,
during slack season, the demand for products falls and volume of business. Accordingly low
amount of working capital is needed.
9. DIVIDEND POLICY
7
If a company pays higher dividends, it consumes cash resources which affect working
capital to that extent. But if the firm does not pay dividend, and retains profits, the working
capital of the firm increases. Therefore, in planning working capital requirements, dividend pay-
out ratio is a very important factor.
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. This cycle and
stores, its conversion into stocks of finished goods through work in progress with progressive
increment of labour and service costs, conversion of finished stock into sales, debtors and
receivables and ultimately realization of cash and this cycle continues again from the cash to
purchase of raw materials and soon.

The speed with which the working capital completes one cycle determines the
requirements of working capital longer than period of the cycle larger is the requirement of
working capital.

LIQUDITY RATIOS:
Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current obligations and when they
become due. To measure the liquidity of a firm, the following ratios are calculated.
1. Current ratio
2. Quick ratio
Current ratio:
Current ratio may be defined as relationship between the current assets and the current
liabilities. These ratio is also known as working capital ratio, it measures of general liquidity and
is most widely used to make the analysis of a short term financial position or liquidity of a firm.
It is calculated by dividing the total current assets by the current liabilities.
Standard:
As convention a minimum of 2:1 is referred as rule of thumb.
Formula:
Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current Liabilities
41
Graph showing the current ratio:
Interpretation
From the above table it can be observed that.
1. In the year 2009-10 the current ratio was 1.93:1, so the liquidity position is good in
that year.
2. The remaining year’s current ratio was not up to the standard ratio. Because the
3. The average current ratio for the five year is 1.76:1, which is satisfactory.
42
LIQUID OR QUICK RATIO:
The term liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short term obligations as and when they
become due .Liquid ratio may be defined as the relationship between liquid assets and current or
liquid liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash with in a short
Standards
As a convention, a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered as satisfactory.
Formula:
Liquid Assets
Liquid Ratio =
Current Liabilities
43
LIQUID OR QUICK RATIO:
Interpretation
From the above table it can be observed that.
1. In the year 2007-08 the liquid ratio was 1.12:1, so the liquidity position is good in that
year.
2. The remaining year’s liquids ratio’s were decreasing, due to increasing current liabilities.
4. The average liquid ratio of the bank is below the standard ratio.
44
DEBT-EQUITY RATIO:
The debt equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which debt financing has used in
a business; the ratio indicates the proportionate claims of owner and outsiders against the firm’s
asset. Debt usually refers to long term debts and equity includes equity share preference share
and reserves and surplus.
Formula:
Debt
Debt equity ratio =
Equity
45
INTERPRETATION:
1. If we observe the above debt equity ratio table, it is realized that the debt-equity ratio
was fluctuating during the period of study.
2. The average debt equity ratio is 18.45% during the period of study.
3. If we compare the average debt equity ratio with the standard ratio, the company is
maintaining high debt equity ratio. Higher ratio indicates that the bank has been maintaining
risky financial policies.
46
FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH RATIO:
This ratio establishes the relationship between fixed assets and the net worth of the
company. The net worth is nothing but “shareholders fund”.
This ratio indicated the extent to which shareholders funds are sunk into fixed
assets. If the ratio is less than 1% it implies that owners funds are more than total fixed assets
and the shareholders provides a part of working capital. When the ratio is more than 1% it
implies that owners fund are not sufficient to finance the fixed assets and the firm has to depend
upon the outsiders to finance the fixed assets.
Formula:
FIXED ASSETS
FIXED ASSETS TO NETWORTH RATIO =
NET WORTH
(Rs in crore)
47
INTERPRETATION:
1. If we observe above fixed assets to net worth ratio table it has increased from 2005-
2010(i.e., 0.11% to .16%).
2. The average fixed assets to net worth ratio is 0.19% during the period of study
3. If we compare the average fixed assets to net worth ratio with standard ratio the bank is
maintaining healthy fixed assets to net worth ratio as the share holder’s funds are sufficient
to finance the fixed assets.
48
EQUITY RATIO:
This ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders fund to the total assets
of the company. This ratio is also known “proprietary ratio” or “shareholders total equity ratio”
or “Net worth to total assets ratio”.
Higher the ratio or the share of the shareholders in the total capital of the company better is
the long-term solvency position of the firm.
Formula:
(Rs in crore)
49
INTERPRE
TATION:
1. If we observe
the above equity
ratio table it has
decreased from
2006-2010(i.e.,
0.05 times to
0.04 Times).
2. The average equity ratio is 0.04 Times during the period of study
3. The long-term solvency position of the company is not satisfactory during the period of
study.
50
CONCLUSIONS
2. During the study period the cash balance with RBI are mostly increasing.
3. Balance with bank and money at call and short notice were also fluctuating during the
study period.
4. Provisions and other liabilities were increasing during the study period.
51
SUGGESTIONS
1. The bank has to increase the cash balances to improve the liquidity position.
2. The bank is advised to maintain proper funds towards reserves and surplus.
3. Bank authorities should motivate the staff for achieving higher recovery of loans.
4. The bank has to maintain adequate cash balance to avoid misuse of cash.
