WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
DEFINITION:
The amount required for taking decisions relating to fulfill the purpose of short-term
investment in the business such as purchasing of raw materials, wages to be paid and other
activities for maintain or running day to day transactions. To carry out operation, the funds used
are known as "WORKING CAPITAL".
Working capital plays a key role in a business enterprise just as the role of heart in human
body. Its effective provision can ensure the success of business while its inefficient management
can lead not only to loss but also insolvent and may be forced into bankruptcy. In other words
efficiency of a business enterprise depends largely on its ability to manage its working capital.
Working capital management therefore is one of the important facts of a firms overall financial
management.
MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital refers to short term funds to meet operating expenses. "It refers to the
funds, which a company must possess to finance its day to day operations". It is concerned with
the management of the firms current assets and current liabilities. It relates to with the problems
that arise in attempting to manage the current assets, current liabilities and their inter-relationship
that exists between them. If a firm cannot maintain a satisfactory level of working capital, it is
likely to become insolvent and may even be forced into bankruptcy.
NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL
The need for working capital cannot be over emphasized. Every business needs some
amount of working capital. The need for working capital arises due to the time gap between
production and realization of cash from sales. There is an operating cycle involved in the sales

and realization of cash. There are time gaps in purchase of raw materials and production;
production and sales; and sales and realization of cash.
Thus, working capital is needed for the following purposes.
For the purchase of the raw materials, components and spares. To pay wages and salaries. To incur day to day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel, power and office expenses. To meet the selling costs as packing, advertising. To provide credit facilities to the customers. To maintain the inventories of raw
materials, work in progress, stores and spares and finished stock.
Operating Cycle of Working Capital
It is clear that working capital is required because of the time gap between the sales and
their actual realization into cash. This time gap is technically called as "Operating cycle" of the
business.
In case of a manufacturing company the operating cycle is the length of time necessary to
complete the following cycle of events.i. Conversion of cash into raw materials
ii. Conversion of raw materials into work in progressiii. Conversion of work in progress into finished goodsiv. Conversion of finished goods into accounts receivable, andv. Conversion of accounts receivable into cash
This cycle will be repeated again and again. The speed with which the working capital completes
one cycle determines the requirements of working capital longer the period of the cycle larger is
the requirement of working capital.

TYPES OF WORKING CAPITAL
WORKING CAPITAL may be classified in to two ways:
On the basis of concept On the basis of time
On the basis of concept, Working Capital is classified as
Gross working capital Net working capital
This classification is important from the point of view of the financial manager.
Gross Working Capital:
It refers to the companys investments in Current Assets. Current Assets are the assets
which can be converted into cash within an accounting year and include cash, short-term
securities, debtors, bills receivables and stock.
Net Working Capital:
It 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, bills payable, and outstanding expenses. Networking
Capital can be positive or negative.
A positive net working capital will arise when current assets are in excess of current
liabilities. A negative net working capital occurs when current liabilities are in excess of current
assets.
The two concepts of working capital gross and net working capital are not exclusive;
rather they have equal significance from management view point.
On the basis of time, working capital may be classified as
Permanent or fixed working capital Temporary or variable working capital

Permanent or fixed working capital:
It is the minimum amount which is required to ensure effective utilization of fixed
facilities and for maintaining the circulation of current assets. There is always a minimum level
of current assets which is continuously required by the enterprise to carry out its normal
business.
Example: Every firm has to maintain a minimum level of raw materials work in process, finished
goods and cash balances. This minimum level of current assets is called permanent or fixed
working capital as this part of capital is permanently blocked in current assets. As the business
grows, the requirements of permanent or fixed working capital also increase due to the increase
in the current assets.
The permanent working capital can further be classified as
Regular working capital Reserve working capital
Regular working capital:
It is required to ensure circulation of current assets from cash to inventories, from
inventories to receivables and from receivables to cash and so on.
Reserve working capital:
It is the excess amount over the requirement for regular working capital which may be
provided for contingencies that may arise at unstated periods such as strikes, rise in prices,
depression.
Temporary or variable working capital:
It is the amount of working capital which is required to meet the seasonal demands and
special exigencies.
Variable working capital can be further classified as
Seasonal working capital

Special working capital
Seasonal working capital:
The capital is required to meet the seasonal needs of the enterprise is called seasonal
working capital.
Special working capital:
It is threat part of working capital which is required to meet special exigencies such as
launching of extensive marketing campaigns for conducting research.
FACTORS DETERMINING THE WORKING CAPITAL
A firm should have neither low nor high working capital involves more risk and more
returns. A high working capital involves less risk and returns. The amount of working capital is
determined by wide variety of factors such as:
a. General Nature of business.b. Production cycle.c. Business cycle.d. Production policy.e. Credit policy.f. Growth and Expansion.g. Vagaries in the Availability of Raw Material.h. Profit level.i. Level of taxes.j. Dividend policy.k. Depreciation policy.l. Price level changes.m. Operating efficiency.

SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITALThe working capital requirements of a concern are brought into two categories. They are:
a. Permanent or fixed capital requirements and
b.
Temporary or variable working capital requirements
The fixed proportion of working capital should be generally financed from the long term
sources while the temporary or variable working capital requirements of a concern may be
met from short term sources.
The various long term sources for financing of working capital requirements are as follows:
a. Equity capital (including retained earnings/surplus)b. Debentures and preference sharesc. Long term loansThe Various short term sources for financing of working capital requirements:
a. Trade credit (sundry creditors, bills payable)b. Bank over draftc. Current provisionsd. Short term loans from sources other than Banks (such as loans from Directors, partners,
employees outstanding wages and salaries)
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Working capital, in general practice, refers to the excess of current assets over current
liabilities. Management of working capital therefore, is concerned with the problem that arise in
attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter relationship that existbetween them. In other words, it refers to all aspects of administration of both current assets and
current liabilities.
The basic goal of working capital management is to manage the current assets and current
liabilities of a firm in such that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained, i.e., it is
neither inadequate nor excessive. This is so because both inadequate as well as excessive
-

working capital positions are bad for any business. Inadequacy of working capital may lead the
firm to insolvency and excessive working capital implies idle funds which earn no profits for the
business. Working capital management policies of a firm have a great effect on its profitability,
liquidity and structural health of the organization. In this context working capital management is
three dimensional in nature:
i. Dimension I is concerned with the formulation of policies with regard to profitability,risk and liquidity.
ii. Dimension II is concerned with the decisions about the composition and level of currentassets.
iii. Dimension III is concerned with the decisions about the composition and level of currentliabilities.
OBJECTIVES OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The objectives of Working Capital Management could be stated as
To ensure optimum investment in current assets. To strike a balance between the twin objectives of liquidity and profitability in the use of
funds.
To ensure adequate flow of funds for current operations. To speed up the flow of funds or to minimize the stagnation of funds.
DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
There are no set rules to determine the working capital requirements of firms. A large
number of factors, each having a different importance, influence working capital needs of firms,
therefore, an analysis of relevant factors should be made in order to determine total investment in
working capital. The following is the description of factors, which generally influence the
working capital requirements of firms.

1. NATURE AND SIZE OF BUSINESS:
The size of business also has an important impact on its working capital needs. Size may
be measured in terms of the scale of operations. A firm with large scale of operations will need
working capital than small term. The working capital requirements of a firm are basically
influenced by the nature of business trading and financial firm has a very less investment in fixed
assets, but require a large sum of money to be invested in working capital.
2. TECHNOLOGY AND MANUFACTURING POLICY:
The manufacturing cycle starts with the purchase and use of raw materials and completes
with the production of finished goods. Longer the manufacturing cycle, larger will be the firm
working capital requirements. An extended manufacturing time span means a larger tie-up of
funds in inventories. Thus if there are alternative technologies of manufacturing a product, the
technological process with the shortest manufacturing cycle may be chooses.
3. FIRMS CREDIT POLICY:
The credit policy of the firm affects the working capital by influencing the level of
debtors. The credit term to be granted to customers may depend upon the forms of the industry
to which the firm belongs.
4. AVAILABILITY OF CREDIT:
Creditors also affect the working capital requirements of a firm. A firm will need less
working capital if liberal credit terms are available to it.
5. OPERATING EFFICIENCY:
The operating efficiency of the firm relates to the optimum utilization of resources at
minimum costs. The firm will be effectively contributing in keeping the working capital
investment at a lower level if it is efficient to controlling operating costs and utilizing current
-

assets. The use of working capital is improved and pace of a cash conversion cycle is
accelerated with operating efficiency.
6. BUSINESS FLUCTUATIONS:
Most firms experience seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in the demand for their products
and services. This business variation effects the working capital requirements especially the
temporary working capital requirement of the firm. When there is an upward swing in the
economy, sales will increase and vice-versa.
7. PRODUCTION POLICY:
A steady production policy will cause inventories to accumulate during the off-season
periods and the firm will be exposed to greater inventory cost and risk. Thus, if the cost and
risks of maintaining a constant production schedules are high, the firm may adopt the policy of
varying its production schedules in accordance with the change in demand.
8. GROWTH AND EXPANSION ACTIVITES:
The working capital needs of firm increases it growth in terms of sales of fixed assets. If
it is difficult to precisely determine the relationship between volume of sales and the working
capital needs. The critical fact however that is the need for increased working capital funds does
not follow growth in business activities but precedes it.
9. PROFIT MARGIN AND PROFIT APPROPRIATION:
Firms differ in their capacity to generate profit from business operations. Some firms
enjoy a dominant position, due to quality product or good marketing management or monopoly
power in the market and earn a high profit margin. Some other firms may have to operate in an
environment of intense competition and may earn low margin of profits. A high net profit
margin contributes towards the working capital pool. Infact the net profit is a source of working
capital to the extent it has earned in cash.

FUNCTIONS OF CEMENT INGREDIENTS
LIMESTONE:
This is the important composition of cement and its proportion is to be carefully
maintained. Limestone is excess make the cement unsound and causes the cement to expand and
disintegrate. On the other hand, if lime is in deficiency strength of cement is decreased and it
causes cement to set quickly.
CALCIUM SULPHATE:
This ingredient imparts color, hardness and strength to cement.
COKE BREEZE:
It is a fuel, helps to burn the nudels in the kiln.
TYPES OF CEMENT
India is currently produces many variables cement like
1. ORDINARY PORTLAND CEMENT:
This is mixture of calcareous (limestone, marble, chalk etc.,) and argillaceous (clay, shale
etc.,) to which other materials like silica, alumna or iron oxide are added. They are burnt at a
clinking temperature and the resulting clinker is then ground. After burning, only gypsum or air
entering agent is added.
2. PORTLAND BLAST FURNACE SLAG CEMENT:
A fine mixture Portland cement clinker and granulated blast furnace slag makes Portland
blast furnace slag makes Portland slag cement. The clinker for this from is manufactured in the
same manner as for ordinary Portland cement. The granulated blast furnace slag is a non-
metallic product obtained by rapidly chilling or dipping in water stream or aid. The molten slag
cement to comply with the requirement under IS: 455-1976. It highly suitable for marine
structure, or structure involving large masses of concrete such as such drams, retaining was and

bridge abutments, for municipal works such as sewers and structures exposed to sulfate bearing
such as foundation and road.
3. PORTLAND POZZALANA CEMENT:
This is manufactured in two ways. Either by grinding together Portland cement clinker
and pozzalana used varies 10 to 25% by weight of cement.
In mass concrete construction PPC concrete have show better resistance to cracking then
the OPC to sulphate attack and sea water is similar to that of sulphate resisting Portland cement.
4. RAPID HARDENING PORTLAND CEMENT:
It is from OPC, it contains a higher percentage of tri-calcium silicate and secondly, it is
more finely ground than OPC. Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, True top its attaining in 7
days. This cement is used when a structure is required to carry loads earlier that would be
possible with the use of OPC for example for roads air fields and concentrate products industry.
5. HIGHALUMINA CEMENT:
The major ingredient in this type of cement is hydraulic calcium aluminates. It hardness
rapidly in one day, strength equivalent by OPC in above 28 days it is not recommended for
structural use, thought it has a high resistance to chemical attack by seawater and sulphate
bearing soil. It makes a good refractory concrete when used with crushed bricks.
6. OIL-WELL CEMENT:
This is a specific kind of cement for use in drilling of oil wells in the space between the
steel liming tubes and the well walls. It sets slowly in order to give slurry made with it,
sufficient time to reach the large depths of the oils wells. However, once it seeks, develops
strength rapidly and remains stable at high temperature.

7. WHITE CEMENT:
It is primarily used for decorative purpose and also in the manufacturing of tile. The
materials are so chosen that the maximum iron oxide content is strictly limited to 1%. A variety
of colors can be obtained by the addition of pigments.
8. ACID RESISTANT CEMENT:
With a predominant base of silicates it is characterized by a quick set, good mechanical
strength and high resistance to most acids, corrosive organic chemicals mineral soils and greases.
It is used for binding and joining acid proof bricks and tiles, construction of acid resistant
industrial floorings.
Manufacturing Process:
Portland cement, the fundamental ingredient in concrete, is calcium silicate cement made
with a combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, and iron. Producing cement that meets
specific chemical and physical specifications requires careful control of the manufacturing
proceeds. The first step in the Portland cement manufacturing process is obtaining raw
materials. Generally, raw materials consisting of combinations of limestone, shells or chalk, and
shale, clay, sand or iron ore are mined from a quarry near the plant. At the quarry, the raw
materials are reduced by primary and secondary crushers. Stone is first reduced to 5-inch size
(125-mm), then to -inch (19-mm). Once the raw materials arrive at the cement plant, the
materials are proportioned to create cement with a specific chemical composition. Two different
methods dry and wet are used to manufacture Portland cement. In the dry process, dry raw
materials are proportioned, ground to a powder, blended together and fed to the kiln in a dry
state. In the wet process, slurry is formed by adding water to the properly proportioned raw
materials. The grinding and blending operations are then completed with the materials in slurry
form. After blending, the mixture of raw materials is fed into the upper end of a titled rotating,
cylindrical kiln. The mixture passes through the kiln at a rate controlled by the slope and
rotational speed of the kiln. Burning fuel consisting of powdered coal or natural gas is forced

into the lower end of the kiln. Inside the kiln, raw materials reach temperatures of 2600 F to
3000 F (1430 C to 1650 C). At 2700 F (1480 C), a series of chemical reactions cause the
materials to fuse and create cement clinker-grayish-black pellets, often the size of marbles.

CHAIRMANS REPORT
We have much to feel happy that India remaining one of the worlds fastest growing
economics with our GDP registering rises of 902 percent during 2008-09 on the back of 9
percent improvement in previous year. There is no doubt that such sterling performance of the
economy, which is rightly winning global plaudit is because of the reforms and a conscious
decision to give a free play to entrepreneurial genius of the citizens. It is not only the
outstanding growth which cause for celebration. But we also fined at the macro economics
fundamental like progress is fiscal consolidation and improvement in balance of payments
position are becoming stronger. I feel that we should be able to achieve the annual average

growth target of 9 percent during the current eleventh five year plan, what is particularly
gratifying is the 10 percent growth of the industrial sector with the manufacturing sub sector
growing at a good 11.3 percent such performance of the industrial sector should remain
sustainable since we have been seeing a marked rise investment rate in recent years.
While there is much to cheer about the economy, I am concerned about supply side
constraints contributing to inflation and a disappointing 2.7 percent growth agriculture last year
again a cause of inflation capacity utilization in mast industries is high and therefore supply
improvement of industrial product call for creation of new capacities at a rapid pace.
The Indian Cement Industry that worlds second largest with capacity of 165 million
tones, once again gave a good account of itself last year when dispatches were up 11.3 percent to
151.8 million tones. In my opinion the challenge of the industry is to see that the announced
fresh capacity of 80 million tones is commissioned in time. The plan projection is that demand
for the cement will be growing 11.5 percent at compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) during
the 11th
plan period. It goes to the industrys credit that is ploughing back surplus resources to
create new capacities.
Never before has India invited as much global attention as is the case today. All this is
because the world has finally come to appreciate the economic potential of the country and the
quality of our human resources. As we continue to make inexorable process to becoming a
developed economy, the Indian economic experiment will be a source of inspiration for all other
developing countries.

kiln for about a month to carry out some modifications.
There has been a substantial increase in the cost of raw materials, coal and power
however; the same has been offset since cement prices have improved during the year due to
good demand.

increased from 5.09 lac tones a growth of 18% due to aggressive advertisement campaign. All
efforts are being continued to raise the blended cement production further. The captive power

number, expressing the quantitative relationship between the two numbers Ratio Analysis is the
technique of interpretation of financial statements with help of various meaning ratios. Ratios do
not add any information that is already available, but they show the relationship between two
items in a more meaningful way. They help us to draw certain conclusions. Comparison with

LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current obligations as and when
these become due. The short-term obligations are met by realizing amounts from current,floating or circulating assets.
The current assets should either be liquid or near liquidity. These should be convertible
into cash for paying obligations of short-term nature.
If current assets can pay off current liabilities, then liquidity position will be satisfactory.
On the other hand, if current liabilities may not be easily met out of current assets then liquidity
position will be bad. The bankers, suppliers of goods and other short-term creditors are
interested in the liquidity of the concern. They will extend credit only if they are sure that
current assets are enough to pay out the obligations.
A very high degree of liquidity is not good for a firm because such a situation represents
excessive funds of firm being tied in currents assets. Therefore, it is necessary to strike a proper
balance between high liquidity and lack of liquidity.
The most common ratios, which measures the liquidity of the firm are as follows:
1. Current Ratio2. Quick Ratio

1. CURRENT RATIO
This Ratio establishes the relationship between Current Assets and Current Liabilities. The
Current Ratio is the measure of firms short-term solvency.

Liabilities.

If the ratio is less than 2:1 the firm experiences difficulty in meeting its current
obligations and if the ratio is higher than 2:1 there will be idle assets in the firm.
It is calculated as follows:
Current Ratio =Current Assets
Current Liabilities
For the calculation of this ratio Current Assets include cash, bank, short term
investments, bills receivable, trade debtors, short term loans and advances, inventory and prepaid
expenses. Current Liabilities include Bank overdraft, bills payable, trade creditors andunclaimed dividends.
