Shareholders' equity is listed on a company's balance sheet and measures its net worth. A
company's shareholders' equity is calculated by subtracting a company's total liabilities from its
total assets, which are also listed on a company's balance sheet. Here we have seen the equity is
increasing for the City Bank. It is the indicator of maximizing the companys wealth. There is a
huge change in the year of 2014, 2015 and 2016.
When an increase occurs in City Banks or capital, the overall result is an increase to the City
Banks stockholder's equity balance. Shareholder's equity may increase from selling shares of
stock, raising the company's revenues and decreasing its operating expenses.

The price-earnings ratio (P/E Ratio) is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its
current share price relative to its per-share earnings. The price-earnings ratio can be calculated as:
For example, suppose that a company is currently trading at $43 a share and its earnings over the last 12
months were $1.95 per share. The P/E ratio for the stock could then be calculated as 43/1.95, or 22.05.
Here we have seen the price earnings ratio is decreasing year by year for the City Bank. It is not because
of the future of this companys is not bright rather than it proves that the price is decreasing within
market maturity City banks operation in Bank industry.

steady stream of new customers, yet one of the easiest and most steady sources of new business and

Theoretical Background
Working capital is the capital which is required to meet day to day operations which depends on
whether it is a service company or manufacturing company. Working capital is a measure of both
a company's efficiency and its short-term financial health.
Page 13 of 24
Working capital is calculated as
There are two approaches to categories types of working capital. Here they are
Working capital
Gross working capital is the sum of all of a company's current assets (assets that are
convertible to cash within a year or less). It includes assets such as cash, checking and
savings account balances, accounts receivable, short-term investments, inventory and
marketable securities.
Net working capital is the aggregate amount of all current assets and current liabilities. It
is used to measure the short-term liquidity of a business, and can also be used to obtain a
Page 14 of 24
general impression of the ability of company management to utilize assets in an efficient
manner. It is the difference between the current assets and the current liabilities.
2. Basis of time
Permanent Working Capital:
It is otherwise called as fixed working capital. Permanent working capital implies the base
investment amount in all types of current resources which is maintained at all times to carry on
business activities. Even though, there is a need of having minimum level of current assets at all
times in order to carry on the business activities effectively.
Bank overdraft
Page 15 of 24
A bank overdraft is when someone is able to spend more than what is actually in their bank
account. It is the most useful and appropriate type of working capital financing extensively used
by all small and big businesses. It is a facility offered by commercial banks whereby the
borrower is sanctioned a particular amount which can be utilized for making his business
payments. The borrower has to make sure that he does not cross the sanctioned limit. The best
part is that the interest is charged to the extent the money is used and not on the sanctioned
amount which motivates him to keep depositing the amount as soon as possible to save on
interest cost. Without a doubt, this is a cost effective working capital financing.
Factoring
Factoring is a way for businesses to fund cash flow by selling their accounts receivables to a
third party at a discount. The third party here is known as the factor who provides factoring
services to business. The factor would not only provide financing by purchasing the accounts but
also collects the amount from the debtors. Factoring is of two types with recourse and without
recourse. The credit risk of nonpayment by the debtor is borne by the business in case of with
recourse and it is borne by the factor in the case of without recourse. Factoring facility
arrangements tend to be restrictive and entering into a whole-turnover factoring facility can lead
to aggressive chasing of outstanding invoices from clients, and a loss of control of a companys
credit function.
Income received in advance is seen as a liability because it is money that does not correlate to
that specific accounting or business year but rather for one that is still to come.
A liability account used to record an amount received from a customer before a service has been
provided or before goods have been shipped.
Instalment credit
Page 16 of 24
Instalment credit is a form of finance to pay for goods or services over a period through the
payment of principal and interest in regular payments.
Commercial papers
Letter of credit
A letter of credit is a document that a financial institution issues to a seller of goods or services
which guarantees that the issuer will pay the seller for goods/services the seller delivers to a
third-party buyer. The issuer then seeks reimbursement from the buyer or from the buyers bank.
The document is essentially a guarantee to the seller that it will be paid by the issuer of the letter
of credit regardless of whether the buyer ultimately fails to pay. In this way, the risk that the
buyer will fail to pay is transferred from the seller to the letter of credits issuer.
Inventory Financing
These loans are secured with the business` inventory acting as the security. Finance for working
capital may be acquired through its inventory although the business cannot sell it until the loan is
repaid because the lender has the right to the inventory until the loan has been repaid.
Line of Credit
This is a form of a loan agreement between the bank and the borrower that enables the borrower
to acquire some amount of the funds on demand, but the borrower does not have to take the loan.
A business may secure working capital through this service if it has recurring expenses at regular
intervals.
Page 17 of 24
Working capital loans are as good as term loan for a short period. These loans may be repaid in
installments or a lump sum at the end. The borrower should take such loans for financing
permanent working capital needs. The cost of interest would not allow using such loans for
temporary working capital.
Bank Guarantee:
It is primarily known as non-fund based working capital financing. Bank guarantee is acquired
by a buyer or seller to reduce the risk of loss to the opposite party due to non-performance of
agreed task which may be repaying of money or providing of some services etc. In essence, a
bank guarantee is revoked by the holder only in case of non-performance by the other party.
Bank charges some commission for same and may also ask for security.
