Figure 1: Illustration of the Corporate Organization Structure
From the diagram presented, it shows that each line is working for the interest of the person on the
line above them. Since managers of the company are making decisions for the interest of the board
of directors. Then the board of the directors does the same for the interest of the shareholders. The
goal of each individual in a corporate organization should have an objective of shareholders’ wealth
maximization.
Shareholders – elect the Board of Directors (BOD). Each share held is equal to one voting right.
The elected board of director’s responsibility is to carry out their objectives. Otherwise, they would
not have been elected in that position.
Board of Directors – is the highest policy making body in a corporation. The board’s
primary responsibility is to ensure that the corporation is operating to serve the best interest
of the stockholders.
Setting policies on investments, capital structure and dividend policies; appointing and removing
members of the top management including the president; approving company’s strategies, goals and
budgets are other responsibilities of the board of directors.
President (Chief Executive Officer) – The roles of a president in a corporation may vary from
one company to another. Among the responsibilities of a president are; overseeing the operations
of a company and ensuring that the strategies as approved by the board are implemented as
planned; performing all areas of management such planning, organizing, staffing, directing and
controlling; representing the company in professional, social, and civic activities

Flow of funds within an organization. All business transactions include the exchange of value

Role of the financial Manager. One of the most important and complex activities of a firm is
handling the financial activities of a firm. The one who takes care of these activities is a financial
manager who also performs all the requisite monetary undertakings.
What’s New?
Financial Manager – a qualified person who does have a lot of experiences in handling all
the important financial functions of an organization.
Financing decisions – include making decisions on how to fund long term investments (such
as company expansions) and working capital which deals with the day to day operations of
the company (i.e., purchase of inventory, payment of operating expenses, etc.)
Capital structure- refers to how much of your total assets is financed by debt and how much
is financed by equity.
Capital budgeting analysis – is a tool to assess whether the investment will be profitable in the
long run
What is It?
1. Financing – to determine the appropriate capital structure of the company and to raise funds
from debt and equity.
To be able to acquire assets, our funds must have come somewhere. If it was bought
using cash from our pockets, it is financed by equity.
On the other hand, if we used money from our borrowings, the asset bought is
financed by debt.
2. Investing - is putting money to work to start or expand a project - or to purchase an asset or
interest - where those funds are then put to work, with the goal to income and increased value over
time. The term "investment" can refer to any mechanism used for generating future income. In the
financial sense, this includes the purchase of bonds, stocks or real estate property among several
others.
Short term investments – plan for excess in cash using financial planning tools
such as budgeting and forecasting
Choose which type of investment should it invest in that would secure the best
profits
Long term investments – should be supported by a capital budgeting analysis
which is among the responsibilities of a finance manager.
3. Operating decisions – deal with the daily operations of the company. The financial manager
determines how to finance working capital accounts such as accounts receivable and inventories.
The company has a choice on whether to finance working capital needs by long term or short term
sources.
Why does a Financial Manager need to choose which source of
financing a company should use?
What do they need to consider in making this decision?
Short term sources- are those that will be payable in at most 12 months, such as
loans with banks and suppliers’ credit. Generally, interest rate on bank loans are
lower as compared to that of long term loans. Pose a trade –off between profitability
and liquidity risk.
Suppliers’ credit- amounts owed to suppliers for the inventories they delivered
or services they provided, and is free of interest charges. The obligations with
them have to be paid on time to maintain good supplier relationship.
Long term sources – mature in longer periods. Since this will be paid much later; the
lenders expect more risk and place a higher interest rate, which makes the cost of long
term sources higher than short term sources. However, since long terms sources have
a longer time to mature, it gives the company more time to accumulate cash to pay off
the obligations in the future.
Liquidity risk - risk that the company will fail to pay its short term obligations and
risk that you will not be able to sell investments in financial assets immediately.
4. Dividend Policies - the investors’ share in profits of the company is distributed in the form of
dividends which will directly impact the operation of the capital market. If dividends are not
declared, the market price of the shares of stock in the stock market will be lower while dividends
declaration will tend to make the market price a little higher. However, some companies try to
retain accumulated profits for expansion projects which make the shares of stock more attractive to
investors. Hence, it is the role of financial manager to determine when the company should
declare cash dividends.
What More?
What are the two conditions that must exist before a company can declare cash
dividends?
1. The company must have enough retained earnings (accumulated profits) to support
cash dividend declaration.
2. The company must have cash.
What do you think will affect the decision of management in paying
dividends? Dividends come from the company’s cash and availability of
unrestricted retained earnings.
Availability of financial viable long-term investment
Access to long term sources of funds
Management’s target Capital structure
Small Enterprises which are undergoing expansion may have limited access to long term
financing (both long term debt and equity) which results to reinventing their earnings into their
business rather than paying them out as dividends
A company which has access to long term sources of funds may able to declare
dividends even if they are faced with investment opportunities. However, these
investment opportunities are generally financed by both debt and equity.
The management usually appropriates a portion of retained earnings for investment
undertakings and this may limit the amount of retained earnings available for
dividend declaration.
Creditors are not willing to finance entirely the cost of a company’s long term
Investment.
Example of companies PLDT, Globe Telecom, and Petron.
PLDT and Globe are two of the Philippine listed companies which have generously
distributed cash dividends for the last five years (information as of 2014).
The most important borrower-spenders are businesses and the government, but households and
foreigners also borrow to finance their purchases of cars, furniture, and houses. The arrows show
that funds flow from lender-savers to borrower-spenders via two routes. In direct finance (the route
at the bottom of the Figure, borrowers borrow funds directly from lenders in financial markets by
selling them securities (also called financial instruments), which are claims on the borrower’s future
income or assets.
Securities are assets for the person who buys them but liabilities (IOUs or debts) for the individual
or firm that sells (issues) them. For example, if General Motors needs to borrow funds to pay for a
new factory to manufacture electric cars, it might borrow the funds from savers by selling them
bonds, debt securities that promise to make payments periodically for a specified period of time.
Why is this channelling of funds from savers to spenders so important to the economy?
The answer is that the people who save are frequently not the same people who have profitable
investment opportunities available to them, the entrepreneurs. That’s why financial markets have
such an important function in the economy. They allow funds to move from people who lack
productive investment opportunities to people who have such opportunities.
Financial markets are critical for producing an efficient allocation of capital, which contributes to
higher production and efficiency for the overall economy. Well-functioning financial markets also
directly improve the well-being of consumers by allowing them to time their purchases better. They
provide funds to young people to buy what they need and can eventually afford without forcing them
to wait until they have saved up the entire purchase price. Financial markets that are operating
efficiently improve the economic welfare of everyone in the society.
The important roles of a financial manager are financing, investing, operating and determining when
the company should declare cash dividends. Moreover, he/she is a qualified person who does have a
lot of experiences in handling all the important financial functions in an organization in order to
ensure that the funds are utilized in the most efficient manner. The results of his her actions will
directly affect the profitability, growth and goodwill of the firm.
For a company to survive in the long run, there is a need to generate positive cash flows through
intensified collection of accounts or by ensuring that the company’s long term cash inflows
exceed its long term cash outflows.
Example:
1. Company A which is in the business of selling Halo-halo in the Dapitan area (or any other area)
for
5 years. Company A is consistently earning profits and has a positive cash flow. When asked how
Company A sees itself after 5 more years, Company A answered that it would continue to sell Halo-
halo in Dapitan (or any other area).
On the other hand, Company B sells Buko Juice in Katipunan area (or any other area different
from Company A’s area) for 5 years. Company B is consistently earning profits and has a positive
cash flow. When asked how Company B sees itself after 5 more years, Company B answered that it
has generated enough cash to expand its business to Cubao area (or any other area) to take advantage
of the growing demand of Buko Juice in Cubao.
Between Company A and Company B, which would be a better investment?

Financial planning- is the process through which an individual moves towards meeting personal
and financial goals through the development and implementation of a comprehensive financial plan.
In general, financial planning is series of steps taken by an individual for planning his future. It
involves planning and directing individual’s resources to grow and accumulate assets so that
financial goals of an individual can be achieved within pre decided time period. Financial planning is
a complex process which needs knowledge and time.
Strategic Planning- is the process of documenting and establishing a direction of your small
business—by assessing both where you are and where you’re going. The strategic plan gives you a
place to record your mission, vision, and values, as well as your long-term goals and the action
plans you’ll use to reach them.
Tactical planning - occurs after a business, team, or individual has created a strategic plan
that outlines general goals and objectives
This
can be done through quantified plans such as budgets and projected financial statements. The
management will then compare the actual results to the planned budgets and projected financial
statements. Any deviations from the budgets should be investigated.
6. Determine contingency plans
In planning, contingencies must be considered as well. Budgets and projected financial
statements are anchored on assumptions. If these assumptions do not become realities,
management must have alternative plans to minimize the adverse effects on the company
(Borja & Cayanan, 2015)
Preparing Budgets
A plan is useless if it is not quantified. A quantified plan is represented through budgets and
projected or pro-forma financial statements that are useful for controlling. They serve as the bases
for monitoring actual performance.
Most organizations prepare budgets as bases in evaluating the results of their operations by
comparing the actual figures over the previous years. The process of preparing a budget should be
highly well-organized and should follow set schedule, so that the completed budget is ready for use
by the beginning of the next calendar year.
Budgeting and Financial Statement Projection
1. Sales Budget
The most important account in the financial statement in making a forecast is sales since
most of the expenses are correlated with sales.
Given the importance of the sales forecast, the financial manager must be able to support this
figure with reasonable assumptions. The following external and internal factors should be
considered in forecasting sales:
External Internal
Required production in units = Expected Sales + Target Ending Inventories - Beginning Inventories
3. Budgeting Cash
Operations budget refers to the variable and fixed costs needed to run the operations of the
company but are not directly attributable to the generation of sales.
Examples:
Rent payments, Wages and Salaries of selling and administrative
personnel Administrative Costs, Travel and representation expenses
Professional fees, Interest Payments, Tax Payments
4. Cash Budget
The cash budget forecasts the timing of these cash outflows and matches them with cash
inflows from sales and other receipts.
It is also a control tool to monitor the way the company handles cash.
Fixed-asset outlays: New machinery costing PHP130,000 will be purchased and paid for in
April.
Interest payments: An interest payment of PHP10,000 is due in May.
Cash dividend payments: Cash dividends of PHP20,000 will be paid in January.
Principal payments (loans): A PHP20,000 principal payment is due in February.
PROBLEM 2:
[A]Company has a beginning cash balance of PHP80,000 and would like to maintain an ending
cash balance of PHP100,000 per month. Prepare [A] Company’s Cash Budget for January to May.

Cumulative excess cash balance (33,000) (46,500) 25,500 (48,500) 33,500 33,500
(Cumulative required financing)
Remember:
If the ending cash balance after payment of all required disbursements is less than the
required ending balance, the company needs to borrow additional cash from short term borrowings
to meet its required ending balance. Should the ending cash balance exceed the company’s
minimum cash requirement the next period, the company may be able to repay the loan plus
accrued interest.
Should the Company have excess cash above its required maintaining cash balance, the
company may invest this cash on short term investments so that it will have an opportunity to earn
additional profits. If the company’s cash balance would then fall below its minimum cash
requirement, the company may withdraw the investment to be able to meet the required cash
balance.
The Company wants to maintain the same gross profit per year as 2014.

Financial Planning is a process of setting the objectives, policies, procedures, programmes and
budgets relative to the financial activities and transactions of a frim. Financial forecasts form the
basis for financial planning it is based on past performance of the firm which may not necessarily
be repeated in the future.
The process of preparing a budget should be highly well-organized and should follow a set
schedule, so that the completed budget is ready for use by the beginning of the next calendar year.
The projected financial statements are representation of the financial picture of a firm through
summarized current trends and expectations as of a future date.

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
Learners may require your guidance in following the directions and answering the questions
in each part of the activity. Make sure that they will answer each part of the activities.
Performance Standard: The learners are able to describe concepts and tools in working
capital management.
Most Essential Learning Competencies: The learner explain tools in managing cash, receivables,
and inventory.
Cash Management includes the processes of collection and disbursement of cash. These
processes must be managed well so as to benefit the firm in its ability to generate higher earnings.
Cash Receipts include all of firm’s inflows of cash in a given financial period. The most common
of cash receipts are cash sales, collections of accounts receivables and other cash receipts
Receivables refer to those payments which are not yet received from customer after the goods and
services have been provided.
Inventory refers to the materials available in any organization which have been bought from
outside, manufactured in house.
What is it?
Receivables Management
The accounts receivables management is essential for firms to sustain and develop their business.
The increased sales would also bring increased profits. Higher volumes of production due to
increased sales would also lead to economies of scale i.e. when production quantities are higher, it
becomes cheaper to produce due to reduced overheads cost per unit of production and better batch
quantities.
Accounts Receivable
• Accounts receivables spring out of the need to sell merchandise.
• Credit management strategically defines the quality of account receivables collection.
• The collectability of accounts receivables depends largely on the quality of customers. The quality of
customers depends on the standards or credit policies set up and used by an organization. Credit
policies are an integral part of the credit evaluation and there are 5C’s used in credit evaluation.
These are:
Character –the willingness of the borrower to repay the loan
Capacity – a customer’s ability to generate cash flows
Collateral – security pledged for payment of the loan
Capital – a customer’s financial resources
Condition – current economic or business conditions
• Proper management of accounts receivable entails having a good billing and collection system.
- A good system should lead to the sending of statements of account to customers on time.
• Aging of receivables is also a control measure to determine the amount of receivables that are still
outstanding and past due.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory management involves the formulation and administration of plans and policies
to efficiently and satisfactorily meet production and merchandising requirements and minimize
costs relative to inventories.
Effective inventory management becomes critical when the nature of the products are either
perishable (e.g. fruits, vegetables), fragile (e.g. glasses), or toxic (e.g. bleaching agent).
• Proper inventory management involves the determination of reasonable levels of inventories
considering the size and nature of business.
Maintaining too much inventories has costs such as carrying or holding costs,
possible obsolescence or spoilage.
On the other hand, too low inventory can result to stockout, and eventually lost sales.
Inventory in a Manufacturing Company
• In a manufacturing company, there are three types of inventory:
Raw materials – these are purchased materials not yet put into production.
Work in process – these are goods and labor put into production but not yet finished.
Finished goods – these are goods put into production and finished. These are ready to be
sold.
Illustrative Example:

B. Bugay Industries, a defense contractor, is developing a cash budget for October, November, and
December. Jungaya’s sales in August and September were PHP100, 000 and PHP200, 000
respectively. Sales of PHP400, 000, PHP300, 000, and PHP200, 000 have been forecast for
October, November, and December respectively.
Historically, 20% of the firm’s sales have been for cash, 50% have generated accounts receivable
collected after 1 month, and the remaining 30% have generated accounts receivable collected after
2 months. In December, the firm will receive a PHP30, 000 dividend from stock in a subsidiary.
Required: Prepare the cash receipts section of the cash budget.
Solution:
Cash Disbursements include all outlays of cash by the firm during a given financial period. The
most common cash disbursements are:
• Cash purchases
• Purchasing fixed assets
• Payments of accounts payable
• Interest payments
• Rent (and lease) payments
• Cash dividend payments
• Wages and salaries
• Principal payments (loans)
• Tax
• It is important to recognize that depreciation and other noncash charges are not included in the
cash budget, because they merely represent a scheduled write-off of an earlier cash outflow.
• Illustrative Example:
Jungaya Industries has gathered the following data needed for the preparation of a cash
disbursements schedule for October, November, and December.
Purchases - The firm’s purchases represent 70% of sales. Of this amount, 10% is paid in
cash, 70% is paid in the month immediately following the month of purchase, and the
remaining 20% is paid 2 months following the month of purchase.
Rent Payments - Rent of PHP5,000 will be paid each month.
Wages and Salaries - Fixed salary cost for the year is PHP96,000, or PHP8,000 per month.
In addition, wages are estimated as 10% of monthly sales.
Tax Payments - Taxes of PHP25,000 must be paid in December.
Fixed Assets - New machinery costing PHP130,000 will be purchased and paid for
in November.
Interest Payments - An interest payment of PHP10,000 is due in December.
The objective or receivables management is to extend credit to such limit till the incremental
profit arising out of increasing sales is higher than the costs associated with receivables i.e.
the collection cost, working capital cost, opportunity cost and bad debts cost
The need for holding cash arises because if cash inflows and outflows are not
synchronized, this leads to occasional periods of low cash inflows compared to outflows.
Managing inventory is like a juggling act where insufficient stocks will result in lost sales
and delays for customers whereas excessive stocks will result in large amounts of funds
that get blocked in inventory.

1. What are the three ways for Maria to better manage her cash balance?
Maria Luna, a 25-year-old nurse, works at a hospital that pays her every 2 weeks by direct
deposit into her checking account which pays no interest and has no minimum balance
requirement. She takes home about PHP9, 000 every 2 weeks or about PHP18, 000 per month.
She maintains a checking account in the bank that does not earn any interest income with a balance
of around PHP7, 500. Whenever it exceeds that amount she transfers the excess into her savings
account, which currently pays 1.5% annual interest.
She currently has a savings account balance of PHP85, 000 and estimates that she transfers about
PHP3, 000 per month from her checking account into her savings account.
Maria pays her bills immediately when she receives them. Her monthly bills average about PHP9,
500, and her monthly cash outlays for food and transportation cost total about PHP4, 500.
An analysis of Maria’s bill payments indicates that on average she pays her bills 10 days early.
Bank Time Deposit are currently yielding about 4.2% annual interest. Maria is interested in
learning how she might better manage her cash balances.
