Management and control of working capital is important for any kind and size of
an organization because working capital makes the long-term assets operative.
Number of instances is there, where many firms met with failure due to inefficient
management of working capital. Amount of working capital must be
in accordance with size of business. Excessive levels of current assets can result
in a firm realizing a substandard return on investment. However, firm with too few
current assets can result in difficulties in smooth operations. There are two
concepts of working capital:
Debtors 3176553.58
Deposits 1245016.00
Total 314,934,673.51
Gross Working Capital = Current Assets
an Advances 533786.52
posits 45016.00
current liabilities
The need of working capital arises due to time gap between production and
realization of cash from sales. There is an operating cycle involved in the sales
and realization of cash. Thus it is needed for following purposes:
2. Manufacturing cycle
The manufacturing cycle comprises of purchase and use of raw materials and the
production of finished goods. Longer the manufacturing cycle, larger will be the
firm’s working capital requirements.
Since Vita is a fully integrated plant with using Milk raw material
and producing ghee,Butter, Lassi,Kheer,Dahi its manufacturing cycle is
Short.
3. Sales growth
The working capital need of a firm increases as the sale grows. It is difficult
to precisely determine the relationship between the volume of sales and
working capital needs. As sales grow, the firm needs to invest more in
inventories and debtors. These needs become very frequent and fast
when sales grow continuously.
The Plant sales are growing in the past few years which require increased
need of working capital. It has increase 8.74% in 2008-2009from
2007-2008i.e. Rs. 955624380.97 lacs from Rs. 872172299.27lacs.
4. Price level change
Since Vita is operating at about 90% capacity utilization, it has been able to
reduce its unutilised capacity and thereby increasing its production which
reduces its operating cycle
6. Market condition
The degree of competition prevailing in the market place has an important bearing on
working capital needs. When competition is keen, a large inventory of finished
goods is required to promptly meet the needs of customers. Also lenient terms of
credit are to be given to attract the customers.
Since Vita sells its Products both cash basis & credit bases, the debtors
collection period is very minimal.
7. Production policy
● Dimension III is concerned with the decisions about the composition and
level of current liabilities.
CLASSIFICATION OF 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 price etc.

OBJECTIVES
DATA COLLECTION
The ratios calculated & analyzed have been broadly divided under four
a) Ratio to analyze the liquidity position.
b) Profitability ratios.
To study the financing of working capital, its components and other short term
sources of financing.
The figure shows that fixed working capital is stable or fixed over time while the
variable working capital fluctuates.
In Vita permanent working capital is fixed while the variable or
seasonal working capital is applicable.
I OPERATING CYCLE
Cash is hold to meet any future exigencies. Stocks of raw material and
work-in-progress are kept to ensure smooth production and to guard against
non-availability of raw material and other components. The firm holds stock of
finished goods to meet the demand of customers on continuous basis
and sudden demand from some customers. Thus, a firm makes adequate
investment in inventories, for smooth, uninterrupted production and sale.

It is clear from the above graph that net working capital of Vita is increasing in
year 2009 is comparison to the year 2008.
II RATIO ANALYSIS
1. Liquidity Ratio
a) Current ratio
b) Quick ratio
2. Activity Ratios
a) Current asset turnover ratio
b) Working capital turnover ratio
a) Current ratio: - The current ratio is very popular financial ratio measure
as the ability of the firm to meet current liabilities. Current assets are converted
into cash for the payment of current liabilities. Apparently higher the current ratio
the greater the short term solvency, Current ratio of Vita can be shown as under:
-
Current Assets_ _
Current Liabilities
(Rs Lacs)
A current ratio of 2:1 is generally considered satisfactory. The current ratio of the unit
is much above the recommended and it ensures the payment of dues in time.
b) Quick ratio: - Although current ratio is a valuable indicator of liquidity yet it
may lead to misleading conclusion, in case of inventories forms a major
component of current assets, the quick ratio is a fairly stringent measure
of liquidity. It is based on those current assets which are the highly liquid or which
are easily converted into cash. Inventories and prepaid expenses are excluded
from this category, because these are the best liquid component of and has the
ability to pay its current liabilities in time when these are due, the ratio may be
expressed as:-
Quick assets
Current liabilities
(Rs. Lacs)
The standard for quick ratio is 1:1. The ratio of the company is more than standards
considerably.
NET Sales
Current Assets
(Rs. Lacs)
Thus current assets are contributing 3.03 times to sales in 2008-09 as compared to
3.28 in 2007-08.,
Working capital turnover ratio: Net working capital turnover ratio indicates the
velocity of the utilization of working capital. A higher ratio indicates the effective
utilization of working capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise, the ratio may be
expressed as:-
NET Sales
In the JSL, working capital turnover ratio can be made through following table: -
(Rs. Lacs)
The above table shows that the net working capital turnover ratio of the unit
is decreasing which means no better utilization of funds by the company this year
than the previous year.
2. FINANCING OF WORKING CAPITAL
After a firm has decided upon the level of working capital to be maintained it has
to decide the mode of financing. Financing of working capital:
a) Sale Realisation
b) Bank credit
c) Trade credit
d) Current provision of non bank short term borrowings
e) Long term sources comprising equity capital and long term borrowings
VITA has opted for a moderate overall working capital policy. This suggests that it
is risk averse. It wants a reasonable profit with a reasonable amount of risk. If it
goes in for an aggressive policy the profits generated could be high but
accompanied with the high level of profits will come high level of risk, which they
feel is not appropriate. Since with this policy the profits being generated
are substantially high a change in the working capital policy is not called for.
Since VITA produces only on orders therefore the inventory requirements for the
following months can be accurately forecasted. Since, the raw material, it should
be stored for following months by analyzing the benefit of storing it, the storage
cost associated with it, scrap prices, its availability and also further requirements
of the company as per its orders. Every month if forecast is made accordingly
and order is placed, it would help in bringing down the time required in the raw
material storage period.
