Funds A
Capital refers to that part of the Capital, which is required for financing short-term or current assets such as Cash, Debtors and Inventories, Day to Day Operation etc.
Funds
thus invested in Current Assets keep REVOLVING FAST and are constantly converted into cash and this cash flows out again in exchange for other Current Assets.
Working
Capital refers to the cash a business requires for day-to-day operations, or, more specifically, for financing the conversion of raw materials into finished goods, which the company sells for payment. Among the most important items of working capital are levels of inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
Working
Types of Products Manufactured / Services rendered. Total Costs incurred on materials. Wages and overheads. The period of Raw materials holding before they are issued to production. The period of the Production Cycle or Work-in-progress / Stock-in-process, i.e., the time taken for conversion of raw materials to finished goods. The period of Finished goods holding i.e. finished goods are to be kept waiting for sales. The period of Receivable holding i.e. average period of credit allowed to customers. The amount of cash required to pay day-to-day expenses of the business / operation. The amount of cash required for advance payments, if any. The period of credit availed from suppliers. Time -lag in the payment of wages and other overheads.
It is the business's life blood. If a business is operating profitably, then it should, in theory, generate cash surpluses. If it doesn't generate surpluses, the business will eventually run out of cash and expire. There are two elements in the business cycle that absorb cash (Raw Material, Work-in-progress, Finished Goods) Receivables (Debtors owing you money). The main sources of cash are Payables (your Creditors) Equity and Loans.
Inventory
Each component of working capital (namely inventory, receivables and payables) has two dimensions ........TIME ......... and MONEY. When it comes to managing working capital - TIME IS MONEY. If you can get money to move faster around the cycle like : Collect monies due from debtors more quickly Reduce the amount of money tied up by reducing inventory levels Increase in credit period from suppliers The business will generate more cash or need to borrow less money to fund working capital. As a consequence, you could reduce the cost of interest or additional free money available to support additional sales growth or investment. So, you effectively create free finance to help fund future sales.
The Cash Conversion Cycle is a measure of working capital efficiency, often giving valuable clues about the underlying health of a business. The cash conversion cycle is comprised of three standard, so-called activity ratios relating to:
Turnover
(Assets) Turnover of Trade Receivables (Assets) Turnover of Trade Payables (liabilities) The CCC tells us the time (number of days) it takes to convert these two important assets into cash.
A fast turnover rate of these assets is what creates real liquidity and is a positive indication of the quality and the efficient management of inventory and receivables. Raw Materials - W.I.P - Finished Goods - Debtors ____________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Trade Payables Cash Conversion Cycle ___________________ Bank Borrowing +Long Term Fund
Raw
Material Holding Period = Avg. Stock of Raw Material *12/ Total yearly consumption of Raw material WIP Holding Period = Avg. Stock of WIP *12/ Total cost of production for the year Finished Goods Holding Period = Avg. Stock of Finished Goods*12/ Total cost of sales for the year Receivable Turnover Period = Average Debtors *12 / total sales for the year Account Payable Turnover period = Average Account Payable *12 / total purchase for the years (for the calculation in days, multiply by 365 in place of 12)
FUNDS A portion of long term funds, equity share capital and reserves & surplus is utilized to fund working capital

Bank guarantee is issued by the bank undertaking the liability of applicant in case of his default. Guarantees may broadly be divided in three categories as under:
Financial
Performance
Deferred
Payment Guarantees - Guarantee for the deferred payment in respect of capital item purchase
A document issued by a financial institution which provides an irrevocable payment undertaking to a beneficiary against complying documents as stated in the credit. L/C facility can be assessed in the following manner: (Rs. In Cr.) Total purchases 1000 Purchase under L/C (say 60%) 600 Period under L/C (days) 90 Lead time under L/C (days) 30 L/C Requirement (600 x (90 + 30)/365) 200
Sale
of receivables to outside agency specialized in the management of receivables. can be with or without recourse basis.
Factoring
Advantages:
(1) A ready source of short term funds (2) Simple procedures/ documentation (3) Require lesser margins (4) Off balance sheet financing (without recourse)
Risk
Forfeiting
Advantages:
(1) Improved liquidity (2) Convert credit sales into sales (3) Credit limit does not get blocked (4) Free from political risks
Secured/unsecured
loan raised from financial institutions to meet the working capital requirement of a company. Net Working Capital.
Improves
Tenor
3 to 5 years
Commercial paper is one of the oldest instruments for raising short term finance. Some of the important guidelines issued by the RBI are as under:(1) Minimum TNW of Rs. 4 Crores. (2) Has been sanctioned working capital limits by Banks/ all -India Financial Institutions (3) Borrowal account must be standard asset. (4) Minimum credit rating of P2 by CRISIL or equivalent. (5) Maturity between 7 days to 1 year (6) Issued in multiples of Rs. 5 lacs Cheaper source of finance as compared to traditional bank finance
Discounting
of FUTURE CASH FLOW Cash Flows are not contingent on the performance of the borrowers. Cash flows are directly collected by the lenders or approved agencies. Examples: (1) Rent Discounting (2) Credit Card Discounting (3) Royalty fees / Franchisee Fees Discounting Advantages: (1) Better credit quality and hence easy in raising finance (2) Lower cost of credit (3) Without recourse financing in certain cases (4) Balance sheet management
Suppliers
Credit: Short term loans where the credit for imports into India is extended by the overseas suppliers through a bank.
Buyers
Credit: Short term loans for payment of imports into India is arranged by the importer from a bank or FI outside India.
The
funding banks primarily depend on the credit worthiness of L/C opening bank
METHODS OF ASSESSMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL 1)TURNOVER METHOD 2)CASH BUDGET SYSTEM 3)COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
Working Capital Requirement = 25% of Turnover Promoter Contribution (Margin) = 5% of Turnover Bank Finance = 20% of Turnover Proposed by The Nayak Committee Used for assessment of working capital needs of SMALL TRADING COMPANIES Not appropriate for big manufacturing and trading companies Normally used for the financing of less than Rs. 25.0 lacs
Cash Inflow Cash Outflow = Bank Finance in the form of Working Capital Cash Inflow as: Operating Income Capital Infusion Working Finance Capital Cash Outflow as: Salary Adm. & Selling Exp. Other operating expenditures
Mainly used for service sector companies Like BPO, KPO, Software companies etc. Eliminates traditional requirement of Stock and Debtors for assessment
Tandon Committee has recommended the following methods: Method I - Borrowers to bring 25 % of the net working capital (Current Assets Current Liabilities)
Method
III - Borrowers to bring 100% of hard core assets + 25% of other current assets. CORE CURRENT ASSETS, which has been defined by the Study Group as representing the absolute minimum level of raw materials, process stock, finished goods and stores which are in the pipeline to ensure continuity of production
Under
Method I the promoter has to bring minimum margin whereas the margin to be brought in under Method III is maximum Committee has discarded Method III and recommended Method II II is also known as Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (MPBF)
Chore
Method
mainly use this method for assessment of Working Capital Requirements In October 1993, the RBI infused operational autonomy by permitting banks to determine appropriate levels of inventory and receivables, based on production, processing cycle, etc. These lending norms were made applicable to all borrowers enjoying an aggregate (FUND-BASED) working capital limit of Rs.1 crore and above from the banking system.
Banks
Example :
Raw Material Finished Goods Receivables Adv. to Suppliers Credit Payable Rs. 56.0 cr. Rs. 45.0 cr. Rs. 80.0 cr. Rs. 15.0 cr. Rs. 30.0 cr.
(Minimum requirement of Raw Material and Finished Goods is Rs. 15.0 cr. and 10.0 cr. respectively)
Method II :
A - Total Current Assets B - Less: Current liab. C - Net Current Assets (A-B) D Less 25% margin on TCA E MPBF (C-D) 196.0 30.0 166.0 49.0 117.0
Method III :
A - Total Current Assets B Core Current Assets C - Less: Current liab. D - Net Current Assets (A-C) E Less 25% margin on TCA other than CCA (196.0-25.0) F Less 100% margin on CCA (25.0) G MPBF (D-E-F) 196.0 25.0 30.0 166.0 42.75 25.0 98.25
RBI has mandated a certain way of analyzing the financial statement i.e. CMA. The break-up of assets and liabilities in CMA differ slightly from that mandated by the company law board (CLB)

In general, there are 4 kinds of financial ratios that a financial analyst will use most frequently, these are:
Performance
ratios Working capital ratios Liquidity ratios Solvency ratios These 4 financial ratios allow a good financial analyst to quickly and efficiently address the following questions or concerns:
What
return is the company making on its capital investment? What are its profit margins?
Operating Gross Net Net
Profit to Net Sales = Net Profit / Net Sales Profit to Networth = PAT /Networth (Shareholder Fund) of Capital Employed = PAT / Net Worth + Net WC
Return Net
How
quickly are debts paid? How many times is working capital cycle turned?
Debt
Turnover Ratio = Cost of sales / Average Inventory Turnover Ratio = Credit Sales or Sales/ Average Debtors Turnover Ratio = Credit purchase or purchase / Avg
Debtors Creditor

What
is the level of debt in relation to other assets and to equity? Is the level of interest payable out of profits?
Debt
Equity
to Net Fixed Assets Ratio = Shareholder Fund (Capital + reserve) / Net Fixed Assets (Net Block)
CYCLICAL
PRODUCTION/SALES
PHASED EXPANSION PROGRAMS MAJOR ORDERS ENHANCEMENT DURING THE YEAR CORPORATE LOAN DRAWING POWER NOT ALLIGNED TO MPBF DEVALUATION / EROSION OF CURRENT ASSETS
CASE
The companys business is cyclical in nature May Aug: Peak Level Activity Seasonal Production and Seasonal Sales ACTION Use of average production or sales to assess Working Capital will not give proper assessment of Working Capital requirement in Peak level as well as normal activity. Both normal and peak level working capital requirements should be assessed separately. Advantages: Better operations management and prevent liquidity crunch during peak level.
CASE
The company is undergoing a Phased Expansion Expansion is on a machine-by-machine basis Current Assets and Current Liabilities will build up gradually ACTION Assessment of Working Capital on the basis of average sales will not reflect actual Working Capital requirement. Assessment should be done based on the peak level activity. Drawing Power will be released on the built up of Current assets and Current Liabilities As initially low working capital is required and later higher working capital is required Advantages: No under-finance and no multiple assessment
CASE
The companys major sales and purchases take place in bulk orders Bulk orders are not very frequent Basic Working Capital requirements prevail throughout the year
ACTION
Assessment of Working Capital requirement on the basis of average level of activity will not reflect actual Working Capital Requirement. Assessment should be done on order-to-order basis.
Advantage:
orders.
Corporate loan is an effective Working Capital Management tool, when: Short term funds used in acquisition of long term assets Low current ratio, with very low debt equity gearing Acquisition of business EXAMPLE - Current Financial Position of the Company Net Worth Rs. 100 cr Net Block Rs. 100 cr Term Loan Rs. 20 cr Current Assets Rs. 145 cr WC Limits Rs. 110 cr Creditors Rs. 15 cr Current ratio: 1.16 Debt to Equity: 0.20 Company may avail a Corporate Loan of Rs. 20 crores or more to shore up the Current Ratio to 1.33 subject to adequate FACR / ACR.
