ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Success is not destination, but a journey it is often said. I realized it even better during my summer internship program at UAL INDUSTRIES LTD. I may not have come this far without help, guidance and support of certain people who acted as guides, friends and torch bearers along the way. Training is an indispensable part of a person joining a company as an employee. It provides the students an opportunity to gain experience on the practical applications of their knowledge. My training at UAL INDUSTRIES has been very fruitful. I am sure that the hands of experience I have gained here will go a long way towards my rest of life.

I specially and most sincerely acknowledge with deep sense of gratitude to the companys managing director, Mr. Arun k Saraf, and the HR, Mr. Dasgupta for give me the chance to go to the Dhenkanel factory and learn, experience and gather the insights from the employees at the factory /floor level which helped me to understand the entire working capital management.

I am greatly indebted to my guides DR.U.C.PATTNAIK, faculty guide for Finance (summer internship), INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & Mr.S.N.Bhattacharya, Asst. Manager (commercial) UAL INDUSTRIES LTD. DHENKANAL for their constant guidance, advice and help which enabled me to finish this project report properly in time. Last but not the least, I would like to forward my gratitude to my friends & other faculty members who always endured me and stood with me and without whom I could not have completed the project.

PREFACE
To start any business, First of all we need finance and the success of that business entirely depends on the proper management of day-to-day finance and the management of this shortterm capital or finance of the business is called

Working capital Management.

Working Capital is the money used to pay for the everyday trading activities carried out by the business - stationery needs, staff salaries and wages, rent, energy bills, payments for supplies and so on. I have tried to put my best effort to complete this task on the basis of skill that I have achieved during the last one year study in the institute. I have tried to put my maximum effort to get the accurate statistical data. However I would appreciate if any mistakes are brought to my by the reader

It is important for research to know not only the research method but also know methodology. The procedures by which researchers go about their work of describing, explaining and predicting phenomenon are called methodology. Methods comprise the procedures used for generating, collecting and evaluating data. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may differ from problem to problem. Data collection is important step in any project and success of any project will be largely depend upon now much accurate you will be able to collect and how much time, money and effort will be required to collect that necessary data, this is also important step. Data collection plays an important role in research work. Without proper data available for analysis you cannot do the research work accurately.

FACTS & MYTHS 2.8.1 What is Asbestos?


Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral commonly found in underground rock formations. For commercial purposes, it is recovered by mining and rock crushing. Fine particles, invisible to the eye, are present in the air and water, everywhere. All of us may be inhaling them and ingesting them through drinking water every day for our life without any adverse effect on health. Asbestos is commercially used since 1900 and is classified into 2 groups. One category is called "Chrysotile" (white) Asbestos and the other group is termed as Amphiboles consisting of Crocidolite (blue), Amosite (brown) etc. White asbestos (chrysotile) constitutes 98% of world production for its commercial use. Indian asbestos cement sheet and pipe manufacturers import all their requirements of chrysotile fibres from Canada, Brazil, Russia, Zimbabwe and Kazakistan for production of AC sheets and pipes. India imports only 20% of world production from above countries. Asbestos is also mined in India, but quantity and quality-wise it is of no relevance to our asbestos cement production. It is generally found in large concentrations in the natural bedrock of the earth crust. The Chemical composition of Crocidolite, Amosite and Chrysotile are different. Asbestos fibre, (composed mainly of magnesium and silica), is a great reinforcing agent. While its tensile strength is greater than steel, it has other rare and highly valued fire retardant, chemical resistant and heat insulating qualities. In fact it is a magic mineral and no other substitute can match its properties.

2.8.2 What are Asbestos Cement (AC) Products?


Because of its exceptional strength and ability to cover inside area as reinforcement only 8.9% of chrysotile fibres are adequate to combine with cement and other raw materials. Over 90% of asbestos fibre imports of India go into AC sheet and pipe production. AC Sheets have used in India for 70 years. Being weather proof and corrosion resistant, these sheets are practically ageless and maintenance free, whereas metal sheets corrode and deteriorate with age and exposure. AC Sheets have also proven to be the most cost effective, easy-to-install, strong and durable roofing material for warehouses, factories, low-cost housing, and practically, any structure needing a roof. Apart from India, Russia, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Brazil are some of the largest users of AC Sheets. AC Sheets and pipes, being corrosion and erosion-free, once properly laid and jointed, need no maintenance or replacement. They are also very cost effective. AC products, which consume low energy in manufacture and do not in any way deplete the natural resources, meet the needs of the country in its developing economy in the context of rapidly rising population and limited resources.
Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA 2.7 ISBM

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

AC products are manufactured under (ISI) license strictly conforming to the standards of Bureau of Indian Standards- IS 459/1992 for Corrugated Roofing Sheets, IS2098/ 1997 for Flat Sheets and IS 1626 (Part 111)/1994 for Roofing Accessories.

2.8.3 Explain the negative reports on asbestos:


The bias against the use of asbestos in few countries is due to the adverse Western media coverage relating to altogether different types and usages of asbestos in the past in those countries i.e. sprayed-on asbestos and friable low-density asbestos insulation used under uncontrolled conditions at that time due to lack of adequate scientific knowledge. For example usage of amphibole (blue) variety in such applications. Though these particular usages have since been discontinued in the West, the claims relating to the past keep appearing in the media resulting in general confusion. In India Asbestos Fibre was never used as sprayed insulation. But, once the scientific research into the risks of asbestos was set in motion, development and installation of pollution control systems took place, enabling the asbestos mining and asbestos cement industries to maintain safe and acceptable levels of dust pollution at the work places. Once the safety fears were defined, the Governments have stepped in and laid down pollution control regulations and the mechanisms to enforce their compliance. Compliance with these regulations and standards assured the workers in asbestos cement industries a risk free environment.

1. Do not stack more than 150 sheets, one over the other. If possible, do not expose to sunlight. 2. To lift hold the sheets only in the places marked 'L'. 3. Improper storage of sheets may result in to damage of the sheets. The damage will be noticed only after installation. 4. Always store sheets on three even level supports. Sheets of varying length should be stacked separately. 5. Always carry the sheets lengthwise, not width wise. If sheets have to be stored for long, keep indoors. 6. The distance between two purlins should not be more than 1.40 meters for roofing and 1.70 meters for side cladding. Clamp with a purlin at the end of each sheet. 7. Do not make holes in the sheet by punching, always drill holes. The drilled hole should be 3mm. Bigger than the bolt. Use a Bitumen washer to seal holes. 8. The hole should be drilled at least 2.95mm. away from the edge of the sheet. Initially tighten nut bolts with the hand only. After 13-14 sheets are installed then all the nut bolds should be tightened together. 9. Tighten the nut in such a way that the bitumen - washer can seal the space between the bolt and the hole. Do not tighten the bolt too much, otherwise the sheet will crack. Use a spanner to tighten nut finally. 10. For a secure fitting, wherever 4 sheets have to be joined the corners should be mitred. The cut corners should be 150mm. in length and 44mm. in breadth. Use a saw to cut corners. Do not use a cutter. 11. Put bolts only in crowns, not in valleys. 12. The bolt should pass through the second and the last sheet. 13. Use a cat ladder for working on the roof. 14. The outlet of the gutter line should not more than 15meters away. 15. The length of the free overhang should more than300mm.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

WORKING CAPITAL
3.1 MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital (abbreviated WC) is a financial metric which represents operating liquidity available to a business, organization or other entity, including governmental entity. Along with fixed assets such as plant and equipment, working capital is considered a part of operating capital. Net working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. It is a derivation of working capital that is commonly used in valuation techniques such as DCFs (Discounted cash flows). If current assets are less than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also called a working capital deficit. A company can be endowed with assets and profitability but short of liquidity if its assets cannot readily be converted into cash. Positive working capital is required to ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient funds to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. The management of working capital involves managing inventories, accounts receivable and payable, and cash. There are two concepts of working capital, namely Gross concept and Net concept.

3.2 CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

Gross Working Capital According to this concept; working capital refers to the firms investment in current assets. The amount of current liabilities is not deducted from the total of current assets. This concept views Working Capital and aggregate of Current Assets as two inter-changeable terms. This concept is also referred to as `Current Capital' or `Circulating Capital'. The proponents of the gross working capital concept advocate this for the following reasons: I. II. Profits are earned with the help of assets, which are partly fixed and partly current. To a certain degree, similarity can be observed in fixed and current assets so far as both are partly financed by borrowed funds, and are expected to yield earnings over and above the interest costs. Logic then demands that the aggregate of current assets should be taken to mean the working capital. Management is more concerned with the total current assets as they constitute the total funds available for operating purposes than with the sources from which the funds come. An increase in the overall investment in the enterprise also brings about an increase in the working capital.

The net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected to mature for payment within an accounting year and include creditors dues, bills payable, bank Net Working Capital

III.

overdraft and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can be positive or negative. A negative net working capital occurs when current liabilities are in excess of current assets.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

"Whenever working capital is mentioned it brings to mind current assets and current liabilities with a general understanding that working capital is the difference between the two". Current assets should be sufficiently in excess of current liabilities to constitute a margin or buffer for obligations maturing within the ordinary operating cycle of a business. A weak liquidity position poses a threat to the solvency of the company and makes it unsafe. Excessive liquidity is also bad. It may be due to mismanagement of current assets. Therefore, prompt and timely action should be taken by management to improve and correct the imbalance in the liquidity position of the firm.

Net working capital is a qualitative concept, which indicates the liquidity position of the firm and the extent to which working capital needs may be financed by permanent sources of finds. This needs some explanation.

The net working capital concept also covers the question of a judicious mix of longterm and short-term funds for financing current assets. Every firm has a minimum amount of net working capital, which is permanent. Therefore, this portion of the working capital should be financed with permanent sources of funds such as owners' capital, debentures, long-term debt, preference capital and retained earnings: Management must decide the extent to which current assets should be financed with equity capital and/or borrowed capital. Several economists uphold the net working capital concept. In support of their stand, they state that:

It may be stated that gross and net concepts of working capital are two important facets of working capital management. Both the concepts have operational significance for the management and therefore neither can be ignored. While the net concept of working capital emphasizes the qualitative aspect, the gross concept underscores the quantitative aspect. You will hardly find a running business firm, which does not require some amount of working capital. Even a fully equipped manufacturing firm is sure to collapse without (a) An adequate supply of raw materials to process, (b) Cash to meet the wage bill,

In the long run what matters is the surplus of current assets over current liabilities. It is this concept which helps creditors and investors to judge the financial soundness of the enterprise. It is the excess of current assets over current liabilities, which can be relied upon to meet contingencies since this amount is not liable to be returned. It helps to ascertain the correct comparative financial position of companies having the same amount of current assets.

3.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL

(c) The capacity to wait for the market for its finished products, and (d) The ability to grant credit to its customers. Similarly, a commercial enterprise is virtually good for nothing without merchandise to sell. Working capital, thus, is the life-blood of a business. As a matter of fact, any organisation, whether profit-oriented or otherwise, will not be able to carry on day-today activities without adequate working capital. At one given time both the current assets and current liabilities exist in the business. The current assets and current liabilities are flowing round in a business like an electric current. However, The working capital plays the same role in the business as the role of heart in human body. Working capital funds are generated and these funds are circulated in the business. As and when this circulation stops, the business becomes lifeless. It is because of this reason that he working capital is known as the circulating capital as it circulates in the business just like blood in the human body. The chart depicting Working Capital Cycle makes it clear that the amount of cash is obtained mainly from issue of shares, borrowing and operations. Cash funds are used to purchase fixed assets, raw materials and used to pay to creditors. The raw materials are processed; wages and overhead expenses are paid which in result produce finished goods for sale.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

3.4 Circulation of Working Capital

The sale of goods may be for cash or credit. In the former case, cash is directly received while in later case cash is collected from debtors. Funds are also generated from operation and sale of fixed assets. A portion of profit is used for payment of interest, tax and dividends while remaining is retained in the business. This cycle continues throughout the life of the business firm. The quantitative concept of Working Capital is known as gross working capital while that under qualitative concept is known as net working capital. Working capital can be classified in various ways. The important classifications are as given below:

3.5 Classification of Working Capital

3.3

ISBM

Conceptual classification There are two concept of working capital viz., quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative concept takes into account as the current assets while the qualitative concept takes into account the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Deficit of working capital exists where the amount of current liabilities exceeds the amount of current assets. The above can be summarised as follows: (i) Gross Working Capital = Total Current Assets (ii) Net Working Capital = Excess of Current Assets over Current Liabilities (iii) Working Capital Deficit = Excess of Current Liabilities over Current Assets. Classification on the basis of financial reports The information of working capital can be collected from Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss Account; as such the working capital may be classified as follows: (i) Cash Working Capital This is calculated from the information contained in profit and loss account. This concept of working capital has assumed a great significance in recent years as it shows the adequacy of cash flow in business. It is based on Operating Cycle Concepts which is explained later in this chapter. (ii) Balance Sheet Working Capital The data for Balance Sheet Working Capital is collected from the balance sheet. On this basis the Working Capital can also be divided in three more types, viz., gross Working Capital, net Working Capital and Working Capital deficit. Classification on the Basis of Variability Gross Working Capital can be divided in two categories viz., (i) permanent or fixed working capital, and (ii) Temporary, Seasonal or variable working capital. Such type of classification is very important for hedging decisions. (i) Temporary Working Capital Temporary Working Capital is also called as fluctuating or seasonal working capital. This represents additional investment needed during prosperity and favourable seasons. It increases with the growth of the business. Temporary working capital is the additional assets required to meet the variations in sales above the permanent level. This can be calculated as follows: Temporary Working Capital = Total Current Assets permanent Current Assets (ii) Permanent Working Capital It is a part of total current assets which is not changed due to variation in sales. There is always a minimum level of cash, inventories, and accounts receivables which is always maintained in the business even if sales are reduced to a minimum. Amount of such investment is called as permanent working capital. Permanent Working Capital is the amount of working capital that persists over time regardless of fluctuations in sales.This is also called as regular working capital.

Numerous factors can influence the size and need of working capital in a concern. So no set rule or formula can be framed. It is rightly observed that, There is no precise way to determine the exact amount of gross or net working capital for every enterprise. The data and problem of each company should be analysed to determine the amount of working capital. Briefly, the optimum level of current assets depends upon following determinants. Nature of business--Trading and industrial concerns require more funds for working capital. Concerns engaged in public utility services need less working capital. For example, if a concern is engaged in electric supply, it will need less current assets, firstly due to cash nature of the transactions and secondly due to sale of services. However, it will invest more in fixed assets.

3.6 Factors Influencing Working Capital Requirement

In addition to it, the investment varies concern to concern, depending upon the size of business, the nature of the product, and the production technique. Conditions of supply-- If the supply of inventory is prompt and adequate, less funds will be needed. But, if the supply is seasonal or unpredictable, more funds will be invested in inventory. Investment in working capital will fluctuate in case of seasonal nature of supply of raw materials, spare parts and stores. Production policy-- In case of seasonal fluctuations in sales, production will fluctuate accordingly and ultimately requirement of working capital will also fluctuate. However, sales department may follow a policy of off-season discount, so that sales and production can be distributed smoothly throughout the year and sharp, variations in working capital requirement are avoided. Seasonal Operations-- It is not always possible to shift the burden of production and sale to slack period. For example, in case of sugar mill more working capital will be needed at the time of crop and manufacturing. Credit Availability- If credit facility is available from banks and suppliers on favourable terms and conditions, less working capital will be needed. If such facilities are not available more working capital will be needed to avoid risk. Credit policy of enterprises-- In some enterprises most of the sale is at cash and even it is received in advance while, in other sales is at credit and payments are received only after a month or two. In former case less working capital is needed than the later. The credit terms depend largely on norms of industry but enterprise some flexibility and discretion. In order to ensure that unnecessary funds are not tied up in book debts, the enterprise should follow a rationalized credit policy based on the credit standing of the customers and other relevant factors. Growth and expansion-- The need of working capital is increasing with the growth and expansion of an enterprise. It is difficult to precisely determine the relationship between volume of sales and the working capital needs. The critical fact, however, is that the need for increased working capital funds does not follow growth in business activities but precedes it. It is clear that advance planning is essential for a growing concern. Price level change With the increase in price level more and more working capital will be needed for the same magnitude of current assets. The effect of rising prices will be different for different enterprises. Circulation of working capital Less working capital will be needed with the increase in circulation of working capital and vice-versa. Circulation means time required to complete one cycle i.e. from cash to material, from material to work-inprogress, form work-in-progress to finished goods, from finished goods to accounts receivable and from accounts receivable to cash. Volume of sale-- This is directly indicated with working capital requirement, with the increase in sales more working capital is needed for finished goods and debtors, its vice versa is also true. Liquidity and profitability-- There is a negative relationship between liquidity and profitability. When working capital in relation to sales is increased it will reduce risk and profitability on one side and will increase liquidity on the other side. Management ability Proper co-ordination in production and distribution of goods may reduce the requirement of working capital, as minimum funds will be invested in absolute inventory, non-recoverable debts, etc. External Environment With development of financial institutions, means of communication, transport facility, etc., needs of working capital is reduced because it can be available as and when needed.

You have already noted that working capital has two components: Current assets and Current liabilities. Current assets comprise several items. The typical items are:

3.7 COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL


I. II. III.

A part of the need for funds to finance the current assets may be met from supply of. Goods on credit, and deferment, on account of custom, usage or arrangement, of payment for expenses. The remaining part of the need for working capital may be met from short-term borrowing from financiers like banks. These items are collectively called current liabilities. Typical items of current liabilities are: III. IV. I. II. Goods purchased on credit Expenses incurred in the course of the business of the organisation (e.g., wages or salaries, rent, electricity bills, interest etc.) which are not yet paid for. Temporary or short term borrowings from banks, financial institutions or other parties Advances received from parties against goods to be sold or delivered, or as short term deposits. Other current liabilities such as tax and dividends payable. Some of the major components of current assets are explained here in brief:

Cash to meet expenses as and when they occur. Accounts Receivables or sundry trade debtors Inventory of: a) Raw materials, stores, supplies and spares, b) Work-in-process, and c) Finished goods d) Advance payments towards expenses or purchases, and other short-term advances which are recoverable. e) Temporary investment of surplus funds which could be converted into cash whenever needed.

Cash: All of us know that the basic input to start any business is cash. Cash is initially required for acquiring fixed assets like plants and machinery which enables a firm to produce products and generate cash by selling them. Cash is also required and invested in working capital. An investment in working capital is required, as firms have to store certain quantity of raw materials and finished goods and also for providing credit terms to the customers. A minimum level of cash helps in the conduct of everyday ordinary business such as making of purchases and sales as well as for meeting the unexpected payments, developments and other contingencies. As discussed earlier cash invested at the beginning of-the operating cycle gets released at the end of the cycle to fund fresh investments. However, additional cash is required by the firm when it needs to buy more fixed assets, increase the level of operations or for bringing out change in working capital cycle such as extending credit period to the customers.

V.

The demand for cash is affected by several factors, some of them are within the control of the managers and some are outside their control. It is not possible to operate the business without holding cash but at the same time holding it without a purpose also costs a firm either directly in the form of interest or loss of income that could be earned out of the cash.
Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA 3.6 ISBM

In the context of working capital management, cash management refers to optimizing the benefit and cost associated with holding cash. The objective of cash management is best achieved by speeding up the working capital cycle, particularly the collection process and investing surplus cash in short term assets in most profitable avenues. We will be subsequently discussing certain issues like the management of cash flows and determination of optimal cash balance, etc.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

Accounts Receivable: Firms rather prefer to sell for cash than on credit, but competitive pressures force most firms to offer credit. Today the use of credit in the purchase f goods and services is so common that it is taken for granted. Selling goods or providing services on credit basis leads to accounts receivable. When consumers expect credit, business units in turn expect credit from their suppliers to match their investment in credit extended to consumers. The granting of credit from one business firm to another for purchase of goods and services is popularly known as trade credit. Though commercial banks provide a significant part of requirements for working capital, trade credit continues to be a major source of funds for firms and accounts receivable that result from granting trade credit are major investment for the firm. Both direct and indirect costs are associated with carrying receivables, but it has an important benefit for increasing sales. Excessive levels of accounts receivables result in decline of cash flows and much result in bad debts which in turn may reduce the profit of the firm. Therefore, it is very important to monitor and manage receivables carefully and regularly. We would be dealing with this topic in MS-41: Working Capital Management. Inventory: Three things will come to your mind when you think of a manufacturing unit - machines, men and materials. Men using machines and tools convert the materials into finished goods. The success of any business unit depends on the extent to which these are efficiently managed. Inventory is an asset to the organisation like other components of current assets. Inventory holding is desirable because it meets several objectives and needs but an excessive inventory is undesirable because it costs a lot to firms. Inventory constitutes a very significant part of working capital or current assets in manufacturing organisation. It is essential to control inventories (physical/quantity control and value control) as these are significant elements in the costing process constituting sometimes more than 60% of the current assets. Inventory which consists of raw material components and other consumables, work in process and finished goods, is an important component of `current assets'. There are several factors like nature of industry, availability of material, technology, business practices, price fluctuation, etc. that determines the amount of inventory holding. Holding inventory ensures smooth production process, price stability and immediate delivery to customers. Since inventory is like any other form of assets, holding inventory has a cost. The cost includes opportunity cost of funds blocked in inventory, storage cost, stock out cost, etc. The benefits that come from holding inventory should exceed the cost to justify a particular level of inventory.

Marketable Securities: Cash and marketable securities are normally treated as one item in any analysis of current assets although these are not the same as cash they can be converted to cash at a very short notice. Holding cash in excess of immediate

requirement means the firm is missing out an opportunity income. Excess cash is normally invested in marketable securities, which serves two purposes namely, provide liquidity and, also earn a return. To forecast the working capital requirement for the next year the following formula may be used:

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

3.8 Forecasting of Working Capital

(Estimated cost of goods sold x Operating Cycle) + Desired Cash Balance

Working capital requirement depends upon the level of operation and the length of operating cycle. Monitoring the duration of the operating cycle is an important ingredient of working capital control. In this context, the following points should borne in mind:

3.9 Control of Working Capital

1.

The duration of the raw material stage depends on regularity of supply, transportation time, price fluctuations and economy of bulk purchase. For imported materials it takes a longer time.

2. 3. 4.

It is helpful to monitor the behaviour of overall operating cycle and its individual components. For this purpose time series analysis and cross section analysis may be done. In time series analysis the duration of the operating cycle and its individual components is compared over a period of time for same firm. In cross section analysis the duration of the operating cycle and its individual components is compared with that of other firms of a comparable nature. Adequacy of Working Capital

The duration of the work-in-process depends on the length of manufacturing cycle, consistency in capacities at different stages, and efficient coordination of various inputs. The duration of the finished goods depends on the pattern of production and sales. If production is fairly uniform throughout the year but sales are highly seasonal or vice versa. The duration of finished goods tends to be long. The duration at the debtors stage depends on the credit period granted, discounts offered for prompt payment, and efficiency and rigour of collection efforts.

2,00,00,000 x 73/365 + 5,00,000 = Rs. 45,00,000

The expected working capital requirement would be,

Example X Ltd. expects its cost of goods sold for the forthcoming year to be Rs. 2 crore. The present operating cycle of the firm is 78 days. The firm plans to reduce its operating cycle to 73 days and desired cash balance is Rs. 5 lakh.

The importance of adequacy of working capital can hardly be over-emphasized. John L. O. Donnell and Milton S. Gladberg observe Many a times business failure takes place due to lack of working capital. Hence, working capital is considered as the life blood and the controlling nerve centre of a business. Inadequate working capital is business ailment. Therefore, a firm has to maintain a sound working capital. It should be adequate foe the following reasons: (1) It protects a business form the adverse effects of shrinkage in the values of current assets. Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA 3.8

ISBM

(2) It is possible to pay all the current obligations promptly and to take advantage of cash discounts. (3) It ensures, to a greater extent, the maintenance of a companys credit standing and provides for such emergencies as strikes, floods, fires etc. (5)` It enables a company to extend favourable credit terms to its customers. (7) It enables a business to withstand periods of depression smoothly. (8) There may be operating losses or decreased retained earnings. (11) There may be an unwise dividend policy (12) Current funds may be invested in non-current assets (9) There may be excessive non-operating or extraordinary losses. (4) It permits the carrying of inventories at a level that would enable a business to serve satisfactorily the needs of its customers.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

(6) It enables a company to operate its business more efficiently because there is no delay in obtaining materials, etc., because of credit difficulties. (10) The management may fail to obtain funds from other sources for purposes of expansion. (14) Increasing price may necessitate bigger investments in inventories and fixed asset.

(13) The management may fail to accumulate funds necessary for meeting debentures on maturity.

Conventional generalizations relating to financing of working capital suggest that an amount equal to the basic minimum of current assets should be financed from longterm source and that only seasonal needs of working capital should be financed from short-term sources. It is obvious that such an arrangement helps to keep the cost of working capital finance to the minimum for an enterprise and gives a rise to its rate of return on the total funds employed. Viewed thus, the sources of working finance can be classified into permanent and the current sources of working capital finance.

3.10 Source of Working Capital

The study of structure of working capital is another name for the study of working capital cycle. In other words, it can be said that the study of structure of working capital is the study of the elements of current assets viz. inventory, receivable, cash and bank balances and other liquid resources like short-term or temporary investments. Current liabilities usually comprise bank borrowings, trade credits, assessed tax and unpaid dividends or any other such things. The following points mention relating to various elements of working capital deserves:

3.11 Structure of Working Capital

Inventory Inventory is major item of current assets. The management of inventories raw material, goods-in-process and finished goods is an important factor in the short-run liquidity positions and long-term profitability of the company. Raw material inventories Uncertainties about the future demand for finished goods, together with the cost of adjusting production to change in demand will cause a financial manager to desire some level of raw material inventory. In the absence of such
Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA 3.9

ISBM

inventory, the company could respond to increased demand for finished goods only by incurring explicit clerical and other transactions costs of ordinary raw material for processing into finished goods to meet that demand. If changes in demand are frequent, these order costs may become relatively large. Moreover, attempts to purchases hastily the needed raw material may necessitate payment of premium purchases prices to obtain quick delivery and, thus, raises cost of production. Finally, unavoidable delays in acquiring raw material may cause the production process to shut down and then restart again raising cost of production. Under these conditions the company cannot respond promptly to changes in demand without sustaining high costs. Hence, some level of raw materials inventory has to be held to reduce such costs. Determining its proper level requires an assessment of costs of buying and holding inventories and a comparison with the costs of maintaining insufficient level of inventories. Work-in-process inventory This inventory is built up due to production cycle. Production cycle is the time-span between introduction of raw material into production and emergence of finished product at the completion of production cycle. Till the production cycle is completed, the stock of work-in-process has to be maintained. Finished goods inventory Finished goods are required for reasons similar to those causing the company to hold raw materials inventories. Customers demand for finished goods is uncertain and variable. If a company carries no finished goods inventory, unanticipated increases in customer demand would require sudden increases in the rate of production to meet the demand. Such rapid increase in the rate of production may be very expensive to accomplish. Rather than loss of sales, because the additional finished goods are not immediately available or sustain high costs of rapid additional production, it may be cheaper to hold a finished goods inventory. The flexibility afforded by such an inventory allows a company to meet unanticipated customer demands at relatively lower costs than if such an inventory is not held. Thus, to develop successfully optimum inventory policies, the management needs to know about the functions of inventory, the cost of carrying inventory, economic order quantity and safety stock. Industrial machinery is usually very costly and it is highly uneconomical to allow it to lie idle. Skilled labour also cannot be hired and fired at will. Modern requirements are also urgent. Since requirements cannot wait and since the cost of keeping machine and men idle is higher, than the cost of storing the material, it is economical to hold inventories to the required extent. The objectives of inventory management are: (1) To minimize idle cost of men and machines causes by shortage of raw materials, stores and spare parts. (2) To keep down: (a) Inventory ordering cost. (b) Inventory carrying cost, (d) Obsolescence losses (c) Capital investment in inventories.

Receivables Many firms make credit sales and as a result thereof carry receivable as a current asset. The practice of carrying receivables has several advantages viz., (i) reduction of collection costs over cash collection, (ii) Reduction in the variability of sales, and (iii) increase in the level of near-term sales. While immediate

collection of cash appears to be in the interest of shareholders, the cost of that policy may be very high relative to costs associated with delaying the receipt of cash by extension of credit. Imagine, for example, an electric supply company employing a person at every house constantly reading electricity meter and collecting cash from him every minute as electricity is consumed. It is far cheaper for accumulating electricity usage and bill once a month. This of course, is a decision to carry receivables on the part of the company. It may also be true that the extension of credit by the firm to its customers may reduce the variability of sales over time. Customers confined to cash purchases may tend to purchase goods when cash is available to them. Erratic and perhaps cyclical purchasing patterns may then result unless credit can be obtained elsewhere. Even if customers do obtain credit elsewhere, they must incur additional cost of search in arranging for a loan costs that can be estimated when credit is given by a supplier. Therefore, extension of credit to customers may well smooth out of the pattern of sales and cash inflows to the firm over time since customers need not wait for some inflows of cash to make a purchase. To the extent that sales are smoothed, cost of adjusting production to changes in the level of sales should be reduced. Finally, the extension of credit by firms may act to increase near-term sales. Customers need not wait to accumulate necessary cash to purchase an item but can acquire it immediately on credit. This behaviour has the effect of shifting future sales close to the present time. Therefore, the extension of credit by a firm and the resulting investment in receivables occurs because it pays a firm to do so. Costs of collecting revenues and adapting to fluctuating customer demands may make it desirable to offer the convenience associated with credit to firms customers. To the extents that near sales are also increased, extension of credit is made even more attractive for the firm. Cash and interest-bearing liquid assets Cash is one of the most important tools of day-to-day operation, because it is a form of liquid capital which is available for assignment to any use. Cash is often the primary factor which decides the course of business destiny. The decision to expand a business may be determined by the availability of cash and the borrowing of funds will frequently be dictated by cash position. Cash-in-hand, however, is a non-earning asset. This leads to the question as to what is the optimum level of this idle resource. This optimum depends on various factors such as the manufacturing cycle, the sale and collection cycle, age of the bills and on the maturing of debt. It also depends upon the liquidity of other current assets and the matter of expansion. While a liberal maintenance of cash provides a sense of security, a lack of sufficiency of cash hampers day-to-day operations. Prudence, therefore, requires that no more cash should be kept on hand than the optimum required for handling miscellaneous transactions over the counter and petty disbursements etc. It has not become a practice with business enterprises to avoid too much redundant cash by investing a portion of their earnings in assets which are susceptible to easy conversion into cash. Such assets may include government securities, bonds, debentures and shares that are known to be readily marketable and that may be liquidated at a moments notice when cash is needed.

The time between purchase of inventory items (raw material or merchandise) and their conversion into cash is known as operating cycle or working capital cycle. The

successive events which are typically involved in an operating cycle. A perusal of the operating cycle would reveal that the funds invested in operations are re-cycled back into cash. The cycle, of course, takes some time to complete. The longer the period of this conversion the longer is the operating cycle. A standard operating cycle may be for any time period but does not generally exceed a financial year. Obviously, the shorter the operating cycle, the larger will be the turnover of funds invested for various purposes. The channels of the investment are called current assets. Sometimes the available funds may be in excess of the needs for investment in these assets, e.g., inventory, receivables and minimum essential cash balance. Any surplus may be invested in government securities rather than being retained as idle cash balance.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


3.14 Introduction of Working Capital Management
Working capital management is the device of finance. It is related to manage of current assets and current liabilities. After learning working capital management, commerce students can use this tool for fund flow analysis. Working capital is very significant for paying day to day expenses and long term liabilities.

The management of current assets, current liabilities and inter-relationship between them is termed as working capital management. Working capital management is concerned with problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter-relationship that exist between them. In practice, There is usually a distinction made between the investment decisions concerning current assets and the financing of working capital.

3.15 Meaning of Working Capital Management

From the above, the following two aspects of working capital management emerge:

There are two concepts of working capital viz. quantitative and qualitative. Some people also define the two concepts as gross concept and net concept. According to quantitative concept, the amount of working capital refers to total of current assets. What we call current assets? Smith called, circulating capital. Current assets are considered to be gross working capital in this concept.

3.16 Concept of Working Capital Management

(1) To determine the magnitude of current assets or level of working capital and (2) To determine the mode of financing or hedging decisions.

The qualitative concept gives an idea regarding source of financing capital. According to qualitative concept the amount of working capital refers to excess of current assets over current liabilities. L.J. Guthmann defined working capital as the portion of a firms current assets which are financed from longterm funds.

The excess of current assets over current liabilities is termed as Net working capital. In this concept Net working capital represents the amount of current assets which would remain if all current liabilities were paid. Both the concepts of working capital have their own points of importance. If the objectives is to measure the size and extent to which current assets are being used, Gross concept is useful; whereas in evaluating the liquidity position of an undertaking Net concept becomes pertinent and preferable.

It is necessary to understand the meaning of current assets and current liabilities for learning the meaning of working capital, which is explained below.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

Current assets It is rightly observed that Current assets have a short life span. These types of assets are engaged in current operation of a business and normally used for short term operations of the firm during an accounting period i.e. within twelve months. The two important characteristics of such assets are, (i) short life span, and (ii) swift transformation into other form of assets. Cash balance may be held idle for a week or two, account receivable may have a life span of 30 to 60 days, and inventories may be held for 30 to 100 days. Fitzgerald defined current assets as, cash and other assets which are expected to be converted in to cash in the ordinary course of business within one year or within such longer period as constitutes the normal operating cycle of a business. Current liabilities The firm creates a Current Liability towards creditors (sellers) from whom it has purchased raw materials on credit. This liability is also known as accounts payable and shown in the balance sheet till the payment has been made to the creditors.

The claims or obligations which are normally expected to mature for payment within an accounting cycle are known as current liabilities. These can be defined as those liabilities where liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly classifiable as current assets, or the creation of other current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities.

Circulating capital working capital is also known as circulating capital or current capital. The use of the term circulating capital instead of working capital indicates that its flow is circular in nature.

For smooth running an enterprise, adequate amount of working capital is very essential. Efficiency in this area can help, to utilize fixed assets gainfully, to assure the firms longterm success and to achieve the overall goal of maximization of the shareholders, fund. Shortage or bad management of cash may result in loss of cash discount and loss of reputation due to non-payment of obligation on due dates. Insufficient inventories may be the main cause of production held up and it may compel the enterprises to purchase raw materials at unfavourable rates. Like-wise facility of credit sale is also very essential for sales promotions. It is rightly observed that many a times business failure takes place due to lack of working capital. Adequate working capital provides a cushion for bad days, as a concern can pass its period of depression without much difficulty.

3.17 Importance of Working Capital Management

O Donnel et al. correctly explained the significance of adequate working capital and mentioned that to avoid interruption in the production schedule and maintain sales, a concern requires funds to finance inventories and receivables. The dangers of excessive working capital are as follows:
3.14

The adequacy of cash and current assets together with their efficient handling virtually determines the survival or demise of a concern. An enterprise should maintain adequate working capital for its smooth functioning. Both, excessive working capital and inadequate working capital will impair the profitability and general health of a concern.
Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA ISBM

Heavy investment in fixed assets A concern may invest heavily in their fixed asset which is not justified by actual sales. This may create situation of over capitalisation. Reckless purchase of materials- Inventory is purchased recklessly which results in dormant slow moving and obsolete inventory. At the same time it may increase the cost due to mishandling, waste, theft, etc. Speculative tendencies - Speculative tendencies may increase and if profit is increased dividend distribution will also increase. This will hamper the image of a concern in future when speculative loss may start. Liberal credit - Due to liberal credit, size of accounts receivables will also increase. Liberal credit facility can increase bad debts and wrong practices will start, regarding delay in payments. Carelessness - Excessive working capital will lead to carelessness about costs which will adversely affect the profitability. Paucity of working capital is also bad and has the following dangers:

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD.

Funds are needed in every business for carrying on day-to-day operations. Working capital funds are regarded as the life blood of a business firm. A firm can exist and survive without making profit but cannot survive without working capital funds. If a firm is not earning profit it may be termed as sick, but, not having working capital may cause its bankruptcy working capital in order to survive. The alternatives are not pleasant. Bankruptcy is one alternative. Being acquired on unfavourable term as another. Thus, each firm must decide how to balance the amount of working capital it holds, against the risk of failure. Working capital has acquired a great significance and sound position in the recent past for the twin objects of profitability and liquidity. In period of rising capital costs and scare funds, the working capital is one of the most important areas requiring management review. It is rightly observed that, Constant management review is required to maintain appropriate levels in the various working capital accounts. Mainly the success of a concern depends upon proper management of working capital so working capital management has been looked upon as the driving seat of financial manager.

3.18 Significance of Working Capital Management

1. Implementation of operating plans becomes difficult and a concern may not achieve its profit target. 2. It is difficult to pay dividend due to lack of funds. 3. Bargaining capacity is reduced in credit purchases and cash discount could not be availed. 4. An enterprise loses its reputation when it becomes difficult even to meet dayto- day commitments. 5. Operating inefficiencies may creep in when a concern cannot meet it financial promises. 6. Stagnates growth as the funds are not available for new projects. 7. A concern will have to borrow funds at an exorbitant rate of interest in case of need. 8. Sometimes, a concern may be bound to sale its product at a much reduced rates to collect funds which may harm its image.

It consumes a great deal of time to increase profitability as well as to maintain proper liquidity at minimum risk. There are many aspects of working capital management which make it an important function of the finance manager. In fact we need to know when to look for working capital funds, how to use them and how measure, plan and control them. A study of working capital management is very important foe internal and external experts. Sales expansion, dividend declaration, plants expansion, new product line, increase in salaries and wages, rising price level, etc., put added strain on working capital maintenance. Failure of any enterprise is undoubtedly due to poor management and absence of management skill. Importance of working capital management stems from two reasons, viz., (i) A substantial portion of total investment is invested in current assets, and (ii) level of current assets and current liabilities will change quickly with the variation in sales. Though fixed assets investment and long-term borrowing will also response to the changes in sales, but its response will be weak. The interaction between current assets and current liabilities is, therefore, the main theme of the theory of working capital management. Working capital management is concerned with the problem that arises in attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter-relationship that exist between them. The goal of working capital management is to manage a firms current assets and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained.

3.19 Theory of Working Capital Management

The following are the principles of working capital management:

3.20 Principles of Working Capital Management

Principles of the risk variation Risk here refers to the inability of firm to maintain sufficient current assets to pay its obligations. If working capital is varied relative to sales, the amount of risk that a firm assumes is also varied and the opportunity for gain or loss is increased. In other words, there is a definite relationship between the degree of risk and the rate of return. As a firm assumes more risk, the opportunity for gain or loss increases. As the level of working capital relative to sales decreases, the degree of risk increases. When the degree of risk increases, the opportunity for gain and loss also increases. Thus, if the level of working capital goes up, amount of risk goes down, and vice-versa, the opportunity for gain is like-wise adversely affected. Principle of equity position According to this principle, the amount of working capital invested in each component should be adequately justified by a firms equity position. Every rupee invested in the working capital should contribute to the net worth of the firm. Principle of cost of capital This principle emphasizes that different sources of finance have different cost of capital. It should be remembered that the cost of capital moves inversely with risk. Thus, additional risk capital results in decline in the cost of capital. Principle of maturity of payment A company should make every effort to relate maturity of payments to its flow of internally generated funds. There should be the least

disparity between the maturities of a firms short-term debt instruments and its flow of internally generated funds, because a greater risk is generated with greater disparity. A margin of safety should, however, be provided for any short-term debt payment.

3.21 APPROACHES TO MANAGING WORKING CAPITAL

Two approaches are generally followed for the management of working capital: (i) the conventional approach, and (ii) the operating cycle approach. The Conventional Approach

This approach implies managing the individual components of working capital (i.e. inventory, receivables, payables, etc) efficiently and economically so that there are neither idle neither funds nor paucity of funds. Techniques have been evolved for the management of each of these components. In India, more emphasis is given to the management of debtors because they generally constitute the largest share of the investment in working capital. On the other hand, inventory control has not yet been practised on a wide scale perhaps due to scarcity of goods (or commodities) and ever rising prices. The Operating Cycle Approach

This approach views working capital as a function of the volume of operating expenses. Under this approach the working capital is determined by the duration of the operating cycle and the operating expenses needed for completing the cycle. The duration of the operating cycle is the number of day involved in the various stages, commencing with acquisition of raw materials to the realisation of proceeds from debtors. The credit period allowed by creditors will have to be set off in the process. The optimum level of working capital will be the requirement of operating expenses for an operating cycle, calculated on the basis of operating expenses required for a year. In India, most of the organisations use to follow the conventional approach earlier, but now the practice is shifting in favour of the operating cycle approach. The banks usually apply this approach while granting credit facilities to their clients.

4.6 INVENTORY MANAGEMENT


4.6.1 DEFINATION

Inventory management is primarily about specifying the size and placement of stocked goods. Inventory management is required at different locations within a facility or within multiple locations of a supply network to protect the regular and planned course of production against the random disturbance of running out of materials or goods. The scope of inventory management also concerns the fine lines between replenishment lead time, carrying costs of inventory, asset management, inventory forecasting, inventory valuation, inventory visibility, future inventory price forecasting, physical inventory, available physical space for inventory, quality management, replenishment, returns and defective goods and demand forecasting. 4.6.2 KINDS OF INVENTOREIES Raw material Working in process Finished good

4.6.3 The Techniques We Used In Store Inventory Control.

Store / Inventory control technique is the important tool in the hands of the modern management. It is indispensable for each and every manufacturing concern. The following are the important techniques of store control. Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA 4.10

ISBM

Fixation of various stock levels: Under this method various stock levels are fixed scientifically to avoid over stocking and under stocking of materials. Over stocking of materials leads to unnecessary blockage of materials and investment and under stocking of material leads to disputation in production. These are the following stock levels which help for planning of materials. Economic ordering quantity: Economic ordering quantity is that quantity of material which is to be ordered in one time in order to minimize ordering cost, carrying cost as well as cost of holding stock. Perpetual inventory system: Perpetual inventory system is defined as "a system of records maintained by the controlling department which reflects the physical movement of stocks and their current balances." Bin card and store ledger constitute the bedrock of perpetual inventory system. It is a method of recording store after every receipt & every issue and their current balances to avoid closing down the firm for stock taking. To ensure accuracy the physical verification may be made which must have to agree with the balance of Bin Card & store ledger. If there is any discrepancy between the two, it may be adjusted by preparing debit note and credit note. A.B.C. Analysis: A. B. C. analysis is always a better control system. Under this method inventory items are classified in to three categories such as A. B. C. basing upon its value and cost significance. The number of items and the value of each class is expressed as percentage of the total and categorize as under. Items of high value and small in numbers termed as 'A' Items of moderate value and moderate in number is termed as 'B' Items of small in value and large in number is termed as 'C' V.E.D. Analysis: This method is used for control of spare parts. VED is the symbol of Vital spare parts: Are those spares whose cost of stock out is very high. Essential spare parts: Are those spares which are essential for the production to continue. Desirable spare parts: Are those spares which are needed but their absence even a week or more will not lead to stoppage of production. Inventory turnover ratio: Inventory turnover ratio is one of the methods of store control. it indicates how quickly the stocks are converted in to sale. Low inventory turnover ratio indicates the inefficient management in inventory & high inventory turnover ratio is always implies favourable situation. What is Purchase Requisition? Purchase requisition is a form used as a formal requisite by the store keeper to the purchasing department to purchase requisite quantity of materials. When store reaches at ordering level the store keeper initiates purchase requisition to the purchasing department for fresh supply of materials. The purchase department may not purchase materials according to his own accord. When purchase officer receives purchase requisition. He arranges for purchase of materials.

4.7-RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION:The receivables represent an important component of the current assets of the firm. The amount of investment in accounts receivable for most firms. The amount of investment in accounts receivable for most firms also represents a very substantial portion of current assets. According to I.M.Pandey:Trade credit is the most prominent force of the modern business. It is considered as an essential marketing tool, acting as a bridge for the movement of goods from production and distribution stages to customers finally. The interval period between the date of sale and the date of receipt of payment has to be financed out of working capital funds. Thus, trade debtors represent investment. As substantial amount are tied-up in trade debtors or receivables, it needs careful analysis and proper management.

4.7.1-MEANING OF RECEIVABLES:Emerson as has defined the term `receivables when goods or services are sold under an arrangement permitting the customers to pay for them at a letter date; the amount due from the customer is recorded receivable. This is an asset account, representing claim to future payment of cash from the customer.

4.7.2-OBJECTIVES OF RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT:The basic objective of receivables management is to maximize the value of the firm by achieving a trade off between liquidity and profitability. In fact, the firm should manage its credit in such a way that sales are expanded to an extent to which risk remains within an acceptable limit. Thus, to achieve the objective to maximizing the vale, the firm should manage its credit: To obtain optimum volume of sales. To control the cost of credit and keep it at minimum. To maintain investment in debtors at optimum level. The purpose of credit management is not sales maximization. But efficient and effective credit management does help to expand sales and can prove to be an effective credit management does help to expand sales and can improve to be an effective tool of marketing, thus, the objective of receivables management is to promote sales and profits until that pint is reached where the return on investment in further funding of receivables is less than the cost of funds raised to finance that additional credit 4.7.3-SIZE OF RECEIVABLES:The size of receivables is closely linked with a firms trade terms, which includes the period of credit, the rate of discount and collection policies etc. But the most important factor in determining the volume of receivables is the level of a firms credit sale. With an increase in the size of sales, it may decide to bring about a proportionate increase in the magnitude of receivables.

4.8-CASH MANAGEMENT
4.8.1-Introduction:Cash is an important component of current assets and is most essential for business operations. Cash is the basic input needed to keep the business running on a continuous basis. It is also the ultimate output expected to be realized by selling the service and product manufactured by the firm. Cash is both the beginning and the end of the working capital cycle i.e. cash, inventories, receivables and cash. While the management of all the firms should strive hard to secure larger cash at the management of all the firms should strive hard to secure larger cash at the end of the working capital cycle than what had been invested into; it at its beginning, they must also make it a best possible minimum. This is required to optimally utilize the cash and to avoid the situation of idea cash balances. Its effective management is the key determinant of sufficient working capital. In the key determinant of sufficient working capital. In the words of `P.V.Kulkarni Cash in the business enterprise may be compared to the blood of the human body; blood gives life and strength profits and solvency to the business organization. Hence, every enterprise has to hold to hold necessary cash for is existence. In a business firm, ultimately, a transaction results in either an inflow or outflow of cash. In an efficient managed business, static cash balance situation generally does not exist. A firm should keep sufficient cash, neither more nor less. Cash shortage will disrupt the firms manufacturing operation; while excessive cash will simply main idle. Therefore, for its smooth running and maximum in a business is of paramount importance. 4.8.2-Motive for Holding Cash: J.M.Keynes a prominent economist pointed out three primary motives for holding cash (i) The transaction motive (ii) The precautionary motive; and (iii) The speculative motive; these motive are explained as under(i) The Transaction Motive:The transaction motive requires a firm to hold cash to conduct its business in the ordinary course. The firm needs cash primarily to make payment for purchases, wages, operating expenses, taxes etc. A firm needs a pool of cash because its receipts and payment are not perfectly synchronized. A pool of cash is also known as transaction balance. (ii) The Precautionary Motive:The precaution motive is to hold cash to meet any contingencies in future. It provides a cushion or buffer to withstand some unexpected emergency. The precautionary amount of cash depends upon the predictability of cash flows. If cash flows can be predicted with accuracy, less cash will be maintained against an emergency. On other hand, unpredicted the cash flows, the larger the need for such balances. (iii) The Speculative Motive:The financial manager would like to take advantage of unexploited opportunities. Some reserve of money is always essential to enable the firm to take advantage of cash when such opportunities arise. Powered by:-SAUMENDRA NANDA 4.21 ISBM

4.8.3- FUNCTIONS OF CASH MANAGEMENT:Efficient cash management receipts and disbursement, and an efficient control and review mechanism. The firm should evolve strategies the following four function of cash management:a) Cash Planning:Cash planning can help anticipate future cash flows and needs of firm and reduces the possibility of idle cash balances and cash deficits. Cash planning may be done on daily, weekly or monthly basis. b) Managing the Cash Flows:The twin objective sin managing the cash flows are: cash flows and cash outflows. The inflow of cash should be accelerated while, as far as possible, the out flows of the cash should be decelerated. c) Determining the Optimum Cash Balance:One of the primary responsibilities of the financial manager is to maintain a sound liquidity position of the firm so that dues may be settled in time. The test of liquidity is really the availability of cash to meet the firms obligations when they become due. d) Investing Idle Cash:The idle cash or precautionary cash should be properly and profitably invested. The firm should decide about the division of cash balances between marketable securities and securities and bank deposits.

Time series refers to a series in which one variable is time. A time series is an arrangement of statistical data in accordance to the time of occurrence or in a chronological analysis is done primarily for the purpose of making forecasts for future and also for the purpose of evaluating past performances.

5.2 METHOD OF LEAST SQUARES:-Where a= y / n

Let us assume ye= a + b*x b=xy/(x*x)

Here we are taking for 5 years that is 2005-06 to 2009-10 So the value of `n= number of year So n = 5 So the value of `x is = zero for 2008-09

The base year I am considering for forecasting purpose is 2008-09. Here I am forecasting the values for the year 2011-12.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OF UAL INDUSTRIES LTD

Cash is the life-blood of any business, no matter how large or small. If a business has no cash & no way of getting any cash, it will have to close down. Cash flows in a cycle into, around & out of a business. It is the businesss primary task is to help keep it flowing & to use the cash flow to generate profit. If a business is operating profitably, then it should, in theory, generate cash surpluses. If it doesnt generate surpluses, the business will eventually run out of cash & expire. Cash is king, especially at a time when fund raising is harder than even. Letting it slip away is an oversight that investors should not forgive. Analyzing a companys working capital can provide excellent insight into how well a company handles its cash, & whether it is likely to have any on hand to fund growth & contribute to shareholder value. Working capital of a business reflects the short-term use of funds these are cash short-term securities, amount receivable and inventories of raw materials &finished goods. It is also referred as to the funds required for operations of the business. It follows a cycle process of conversion of cash into inventory, inventory to receivable & receivable into cash.
