EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The basic idea behind selection of this topic is mainly due to its nature and
importance in overall financial management of any organization.
One of the most important areas in the day to day manageme nt of the firm is
the ascertainment of working capital. Working capital Ascertainment is the functional
area of finance that covers all the current accounts of the firm. It is concerned
with management of the level of individual current assets as well as the management
of total working capital.
Primary function o f financial management is not only procurement of fund but
also their effective use with the objective maximizing the owner’s wealth. The
allocation
of funds, therefore, is an important function of financial management.

McKinsey 7’ S Framework
The model is most often used as a tool to assess and monitor changes in the
internal situation of an organization.
The model is based on the theory that, for an organization to perform well, these
seven elements need to be aligned and mutually reinforcing. So, the model can be used
to help identify what needs to be realigned to improve performance, or to maintain
alignment (and performance) during other types of change.
19
how the organizational elements are interrelated, and so ensure that the wider
impact of changes made in one area is taken into consideration.
When it comes to asking the right questions, the website, Mind Tools
(mindtools.com), has developed a checklist and a matrix to keep track of how the
seven element s align with each other.
Usage
The basic premise of the model is that there are seven internal aspects of
an organization that need to be aligned if it is to be successful

CASH MANAGEMENT: -
Meaning a nd Importanc e of c a sh
Cash, the most liquid asset and also referred to as the life blood of a business
enterprise is of vital importance to the daily operations of business firms. Its efficient
management is crucial to the solvency of the business because cash is the focal po int of
the funds flow in a business. Cash plays a very important role in the entire
economic life of an organization. A firm needs cash to make payments to its
suppliers, to incur day to day expenses and to pay salaries, wages, interest and
dividend etc. C ash is money that is easily accessible either in the bank or any
business.
It is very essential for a business to maintain an adequate balance of cash. But many
a times a concern operates profitably and yet it becomes very difficult to pay taxes
and dividends. This may be because:
Although huge profit have been earned yet cash may not have been
received because of large credit sale was made.
Even if cash has been received, it may have drained out (used for some
other purposes).
This movement of cash is of vital importance to the management, so
proper
management of cash is very important.
32
Ca sh/fund ma nagement
Cash/Fund, the most liquid assets is the vital importance to the daily operations of
the business firms. The proportion of corporate assets held in the form of cash is very
small, often between 1 and 3 percent, its efficient management is crucial to the
solvency of the business enterprise because in a very important sense cash is the
focal point of fund flows in business. It is generally referred to as the “life blood of a
business enterprise”.
i. Transaction motive
ii. Precautionary motive
iii. Speculative motive
The need for holding cash arises from a variety of reasons which are briefly
summarized
below.
A company is always entering into transactions with other entities. While some of
these transactions may not result in an immediate inflow/outflow of cash (e.g.
credit purchases and sales), other transactions cause immediate cash inflow s and
outflows. So firms always keep a certain amount as cash to deal with routine
transactions where immediate cash payment is required.
Contingencies have a habit of cropping up when least expected. A sudden fire may
break out, accidents may happen, employees may go on strike, creditors may
present bills earlier than expected or debtors may make payments later than
warranted. The company has to be prepared to meet these contingencies to minimize
its losses. For this purpose companies generally maintain some amount in the form of
cash.
Firms would like to tap profit making opportunities arising from fluctuation
in commodity price, security price, interest rate, and foreign exchange rates. A cash
rich firm is better prepared to exploit such bargains. Firms which have such
speculative leanings may carry additional liquidity. Most firms their reserve borrowing
capacity and
marketable securities would suffice to meet their speculative
needs.
33
Ca sh Ma nagement Cyc le
Cash management is also important because cash constitutes the smallest portion of
the total current assets, yet management’s considerable time is devoted in managing
it. An obvious aim of the firm now-a-days is to manage its cash affairs in such a way as
to keep cash balance at a minimum level and to invest the surplus cash in profitable
investment
opportunities.

DEBTORS MANAGEMENT: -
The basic objectives of the debtor’s management are to optimize the return on
investment on the assets. Its main aim is to promote sales and profit until that point
is reached where the return on investment is further funding of debtors is l ess than
the cost of funds raised to finance that additional credit.
When a firm makes sale of goods and services and does not receive payment, it
grants trade credit and creates Debtors accounts, which would be collected in the
future. These represent the extension of credit on an open A/c by the firm to its
customers, as the substantial amount is tied up in trade debtors; it needs careful
analysis and proper management.
INVENTOR Y MANAGEMENT: -
Every firm invests a huge amount to maintain a certain level of inventory, or say
stocks. Thus a large portion of working capital is involved in stock. On an average,
inventories
are approximately 60% of the total current assets in public limited companies in
India.
35
The level of inventories for a firm depends upon the nature of its business. A
manufacturing firm will have high level of all three types of inventories, while a retail
or wholesale firm will have a very high level of finished goods, no raw material and
no work in progress inventories.
Firm also maintain a fourth kind of inventory suppliers OR store s and spares. It
includes office and plant cleaning materials like soap, brooms, oil, bulb etc. These
materials do not directly enter in production but are necessary for production
process.
Because of the large size of inventory and the considerable fund engaged in
Inventories it is become necessary to manage it in an effective and efficient manner.
Material is as much cash as cash as cash itself and any theft, waste and excessive
use of materials leads to immediate and direct financial loss. The proces s of
managing inventory is called INVENTORY MANAGEMENT.
As we all know that huge fund is required to maintain a certain level of inventory, so
the question is if it is expensive to maintain inventory, why do firms hold invento
ries? A company should maintain adequate stock of material for a continuous
supply to the factory for an uninterrupted production. Sometime it is not possible for
the company to procure raw material whenever it is needed. Also there exists
uncertainty i n procuring raw material in time in many occasions. The procurement
of material may be delayed because of such factors as, transport, disruption, short
supply, strike etc. Therefore, the firm should maintain sufficient stock of raw
materials at a given ti me to streamline production.
Other factors which may necessitate purchasing and holding of raw material
inventories are quantity discount and anticipate price increase. The firm may
purchase large quantities of raw material than needed for the desired prod uction
and sales levels to obtain quantity discount of bulk purchasing. At times the firm
would like to accumulate raw material in anticipation of price rise.
Transaction motive
Precautionary motive
Speculative motive
36
2. PRECAUTIONARY MOTIVE: It necessitates holding of inventories to guard
against the risk of unpredictable change in demand and supply forces and
factors.
Various techniques commonly used for inventory control are listed below:
ABC technique
ABC TECHNIQUE
B items: Medium in value and medium in quantity. These items engage 20% of
funds and 20% of space in the inventory.
C items: Low in value and high in quantity. These items engage only 10% of fund and
70% of space in the inventory.
STOCK LEVELS
In order to check under stocking and over stocking most of the large
companies adopt a scientific approach of fixing stock levels.
EOQ=√ (2*O.C.*A.D./C.C)
Where,

A.D. = Annual demand, annual consumption of material in units.
storage.
Inventory turnover ratio tells us how many times in a year stock are
used up and replaced. The greater the stock turnover, the more efficient is the stock
policy.
Stock turnover ratio= Cost of material consumed during the period/ Average

WORKING CAPITAL. In simple words working capital refers to that part of firm’s
capital which is required for financing short term or current assets such as cash,
marketable securities, debtors and inventories. Funds, thus invested in current
assets keep revolving fast and are being constantly converted into cash and this cash
flows out again in exchange for other current assets. Hence it is also known as
revolving or circulating capital so working capital is the amount of funds
necessary to cover the cost of operating the enterprise.
Long term funds are required to create production facilities through purch ase of
fixed assets such as plant and machinery, land, building, furniture, etc. Investments in
these assets represent that capital which is fixed.
Kinds of
Working Capital
On the On the
Basis of basis of
Concept time
40
Classific ation of working c apita l:
Cash
Short term securities
Debtors
Bills receivable
Inventory
Temporary investment of surplus funds
The concept of gross working capital focuses attention on two aspects of current
assets management:
Optimum investment in current assets
Financing of current assets
41
It includes –
Creditors for goods
Bills payable
Bank overdraft
Short term bank loans and advances
Prepaid expenses
Net working capital can be “positive” or “negative”.
Positive net working capital: it arises when current assets exceed current
liabilities.
Negative net working capital: it occurs when current liabilities are in excess of
current assets.
The net working capital concept indicates the liquidity position of the firm
and suggests the extent to which working capital need may be
financed by permanent sources of funds.
Thus gross working capital concept is financing or going concern concept whereas
net working capital is an accounting concept of working capital. Both concepts have
go t their own merit, but in general practice net working capital is given more priority.
R eserve ma rgin of working c apita l: It is the excess capital over the need or
regular working capital that should kept in reserve for contingencies that
may arise at any time. These contingencies include rising price. Business

the information required for the report.

Secondary Data:
3. Company’s website.
The working capital cycle refers to the length of time between the firms paying cash
for materials etc., entering into the production process/stock and the inflow of cash
from debtors (sales).
It indicates the length of time between a company’s paying for materials, entering
into stock and receiving the cash from sale of finished goods. It can be determined by
adding the number of days required for each stage in the cycle. For example, a
company holds raw materials on an average for 60 days, it gets credit from the
supplier for 15 days, production process needs 15 days, finished goods are held for
30 days and 30 days
credit is extended to debtors.
DEBTORS CASH
RAW
SALES
MATERI ALS
FINISHED WORK I N
GOODS PROGRESS
The totals of all these, 120 days is the total working capital cycle. The duration of
the operating cycle for the purpose of estimating working capital is equal to the sum
of the durations of each of the above said events, less the credit period allowed
by the
suppliers.
44
Thus there is a complete cycle from cash to cash wherein cash gets converted into
raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, debtors and finally into cash again.
Short term funds are required to meet the requirements of funds during this time
period. This time period is dependent upon the length of time within which the
original cash gets converted into cash again. This cycle is also known as operating
cycle or cash cycle.
Definition: Working capital management is concerned with the problem that arises
in attempting to manage the current assets & current liabilities and the
interrelationship that exists between them.
Working capital management refers to all aspects of the administration of both
current assets & current liabilities.
Working capital management is divided into six parts, these are as follows:
1. Working capital policy
2. Cash and liquidity management
3. Credit management
4. Inventory management
5. Working capital financing
6. Working capital management: extensions
45
Working capital policy is divided into seven heads, these are as follows:
1. Characteristic of current assets
2. Factors influencing working capital requirements
3. Level of current assets
4. Current assets financing policy
5. Profit creation for working capital
Strategy A: Long term financing is used to meet the fixed assets requirements
as well as peak working capital requirement. When the
working capital requirement is less than its peak level, the surplus is invested
in liquid assets.
Strategy C: Long term financing is used to meet fixed assets requirement and
permanent working capital requirement. Short term financing is used to meet
fluctuating working capital requirement.

Problem formulation: -
The company is trying to find out how much working capital is being required for
smooth functioning and operations of wire and wire rope manufacturing during the
financial year 2012-13.
Why? -
As per the business plan and sales forecasting of previous year the company has given
the target to the marketing department for the future projection/forecasting of sales
and how much working capital will be required for the manufacturing process
of its products. According to that the marketing department does the market
survey. That survey report they submit to the company. According to that market
survey the company estimate that how much working capital is needed to the
production department for the production of wire and wire rope product.
50
What? -
According to the forecasted figure, which is given by the marketing department, the
company execute that how much working capital is required and how much of raw
materials should keep in hand for the operation of business. According to that we have
to make P/L account and working capital of different department and consolidate it
that what are the expenses that company incur in the p roduction and what types of
working capital is required.
First of all company has given the estimated target to the marketing
department that these much amount of products should be produced during the
financial year 2012 -
13. According to the estimation of marketing department the production department
of the company is functioning that how much raw materials will be required for
the production of these goods and what are the expenses that the company has to
incur for manufacturing of wire, rope, conveyer cord, strands and bright bars.
According to this company manages fund that keeps as inventory, which is
needed in production so that the production process does not stop. The company also
keep watch on holding period, because if the holding period increases, then
company has to incur additional capital and probably the chance of bad debt increases.
At last the most important thing is that to keep cash in hand for their day to day
expenses and for running the production process conveniently.
After the management of working capital the company procure s the raw
materials i.e. used in production process. Company brings its main raw materials
i.e. wire rode from its Jamshedpur Unit. The company Usha Martin basically produces
wire and wire rope. These are the main products i.e. manufactured by its Usha
Martin Ltd. Ranchi unit. For proper running of the machine different kind of
fuels are being required, that the company has to keep in advance any time.
Project Stages: -
Stage 1: -
First of all the Business Plan sheet (as a primary data) is given to me on behalf of
the
company where following are the things are mentioned:
-

After getting the Business Plan we have analyzed all the data that are mentioned in
the Business Plan and according to that we have prepared P/L account and Working
Capital of the company Usha Martin Ltd., Ranchi unit.
Stage 2: -
After getting the Business Plan Sheet, we carefully understand and analyzed that what
is happening actually in the company. We analyzed on the following question: -
Stage 3: -
After the carefully analyzing of Business Plan, I prepared a consolidated P/L account
of
Ranchi unit.

Wire Ropes and Cord- the company would export Wire Rope in foreign market is
7675
MT at the rate of Rs. 84237 per MT.
Rate calculations
-
= INR 84,237.
Wire and Strands- the expected value of the products that company will export in
the
1st quarter of the financial year 2012-13 is 2850 MT at the rate of Rs. 56876 per MT.
The total quantity is taken as the summation of PC Strands + LRPC Strands + Galv.
Strands + Fine Wire. 900+120+1800+30= 2850.
Rate calculations -
= INR 56,876
The total amount would be INR 1620.96
lacs.
54
Bright Bars- this has just one major product under it. Hence rate and quantity are
directly taken as per the financial statements given. Quantity -200 MT and rate as
INR
55,320 Hence total sale would be the product = INR 110.64 lacs. There is no increment
in costs to be provided.
The total sales value of the scrap would be Rs. 538.78 lacs. The M. Division amount
is ascertained as deduction of scrap and total sales (both domestic and export) from
the Total Gross Sales.
EXCISE DUTY-
This is taken on the market sales. The amount is directly taken from the financial
statement. Total Gross Sales less Excise Duty (as it is the amount paid as per
Government requirement on production) gives the Net Sales INR 27,919.53 lacs.
Expenses
As earlier it is mentioned that the company so much amount of capital expenses in the
production process. As company produces different types of products so the capital
55
which is needed for the production is also different. In the production of some
product company expenses less amount of capital and in other products it is high. But
here the expenses are the other things that are required in the production process for
example - Wire Rode (raw materials), Zinc, Lubricant, Fibre, and other Raw materials
like - Power, Fuel. Company also expenses capital on Stores & Spares, on Contractor
& Processing charges. Company has other extra expenses (e.g. Freight & selling
Expenses).
The company expenses large amount of capital on its major Raw materials
Wire Rods for the manufacturing of its products. The company demands 41270 MT
quantities of Wire rods at the rate of Rs. 38643 per MT. So the total expense on Wire
Rods is Rs.
15948.16 lacs in the first quarter of the FY 2012 -13. The company uses Zinc as a
raw material for the production of its products. The company uses 561 MT quantities
at the rate of Rs. 116000 per MT. So the total value expense in the Zinc is Rs. 650.61
lacs. The company uses 315 MT Lubricant at the rate of Rs. 105656 per MT. So the total
expenses on Lubricant in the first quarter of the FY 2012 -13 are Rs. 332.66 lacs. Fibre
is another important raw material that company demands 224 MT quantities at the
rate of Rs .
114488 per MT. So the total expenses on Fibre are Rs. 256.09 lacs in first quarter of
the FY 2012-13. Company expenses Rs. 1655.11 lacs on other Raw materials. This
would include Raw materials consumed + Raw materials purchased - adjustments
for loss – major raw materials identified (wire rods, fibre, lubricant and zinc)
= 18,857+86-100-(15948+650.51+332.66+256.09)
Every plant requires power (electricity, coal), fuel. Company uses 200 MT quantities
at the rate of Rs. 4.70 per MT. The company spend Rs. 957.21 lacs on power in the
first quarter of the FY 2012-13. It expenses Rs. 561.23 lacs on Fuel. The company
expenses some amount of capital on Stores & Spares, Contractor & Processing charges,

Bright Bars- this has just one major product under it. Hence rate and quantity are
directly taken as per the financial statements given. Quantity -250 MT and rate as
INR
55,320 Hence total sale would be the product = INR 138.30
lacs.
The total sales value of the scrap would be Rs. 540.41 lacs. The M. Division amount
is ascertained as deduction of scrap and total sales (both domestic and export) from
the Total Gross Sales. On deduction of the domestic and export sales from the total
sales mentioned in P&L the machinery division sale is ascertained as INR 513.49 lacs.
EXCISE DUTY-
This is taken on the market sales. The amount is directly taken from the
financial statement. Total Gross Sales less Excise Duty (as it is the amount
paid as per
Government requirement on production) gives the Net Sales
.
58
Expenses
Interpretation- The expenses have been categorized into major heads which are
easily traceable. The values of Wire Rods, Zinc, Lubricant, Power and Fuel are taken
directly from the consumption as provided. Other raw materials include raw material
purchased and consumed less already provided ones. The raw materials consumed
have increased by a very slight amount and now stands at INR 18,930 lacs. Apart from
this the contract and processing charges including repairs and
maintenance (45.17+341.53+35.50+24.10) comes to INR 446 lacs. Freight
and Distribution expenses are very similar to the first quarters as commission and
discount percentages etc. usually do not change over quarters. Thus, the total
expenses are quite balanced to what we saw earlier.
PBIDT 3,311.10
3,311.10
The difference between the Net Sales and Expensed incurred gives the PBIDT.
However, there is a slight decline in the profit value. This happened because the
overall increase in the sale amount was less compared to the total expenses incurred.
PBIT fell fr om INR
3314 to 3311(in lacs).

average taking the weighted figures the rate has also decreased. The total sales now
stand at INR
7599.53 lacs.
Wire and Strands- the expected value of the products that company will export in
the financial year 2012-13 is 2950 MT at the rate of Rs. 56626 per MT. The total
quantity is taken as the summation of PC Strands + LRPC Strands + Galv. Strands +
Fine Wire.
1000+120+1800+30= 2850. The total amount would be INR 1620.96 lacs. There is
no change in the export of Fine Wire and Strands. The market stood absolutely
constant.
Bright Bars- this has just one major product under it. Hence rate and quantity are
directly taken as per the financial statements given. Quantity-250 MT and rate as
INR
55,320 Hence total sale would be the product = INR 138.30
lacs.
The total sales value of the scrap would be Rs. 566.61 lacs. The M. Division amount
is ascertained as deduction of scrap and total sales (both domestic and export) from
the Total Gross Sales. On deduction of the domestic and export sales from the total
sales mentioned in P&L the machinery division sale is ascertained as INR 791 lacs.
Hence estimated value stands at INR 1876.02 lacs
EXCISE DUTY-
The estimated excise duty payable is INR 2020.15 lacs. A deduction of the duty from
the total sales would give the value of projected Net Sales for the third quarter. It
sees a positive growth more than the extent of the first quarter to INR 30,419.66 lacs.
This was accounted for because of interdivisional sales and estimated increase in
export of Wire
Ropes.

sales mentioned in P&L the machinery division sale is ascertained as INR 724 lacs.
Hence estimated value stands at INR 1809.09 lacs.
EXCISE DUTY-
The estimated excise duty payable is INR 2024.63 lacs. It sees a negative growth less
than the extent of the fourth quarter to INR 29863.15 lacs. This was accounted for
because of interdivisional sales and estimated decrease in export of Wire
Ropes.
64
Expenses
PBIDT 3,715.97
3,715.97
Interpretation- A deduction of the expected expenses from the Sales would give
the projected PBIDT which is INR 3,715.97 lacs. Though there is a fall compared to
third quarter owing to fall in sales yet the value denotes healthy financials.
The consideration of the level investment in current assets should avoid two
danger points excessive and inadequate investment in current assets. Investment in
current assets should be just adequate, not more or less, to the need of th e
business firms. Excessive investment in current assets should be avoided because it
impairs the firm s profitability, as idle investment earns nothing. On the other hand
inadequate amount of working capital can be threatened solvency of the firms
because of it s inability to meet it s current obligation. It should be realized that the
working capital
need of the firms may be fluctuating with changing business activity. This may cause
65
excess or shortage of working capital frequently. T he management should be prompt
to initiate an action and correct imbalance.
Once the initial calculations were made based on the projected B Plan for 2012 -13,
the next step involved was determining Working Capital. Working Capital is calculated
as -
Interpretation - The holding month’s data is directly taken from the Business
Plan sheet as per company norms. The different holding month’s are -
Wire Rods- 3 month - primarily sourced from its own company Usha Martin
ltd. Jamshedpur. Few grades of Wire Rods sourced from Jindal Steel which is situated
at a distance of 45 km in Patratu, Ramgar h. Sometimes company purchases Imported
Wire Rode in case of special customer requirement. 41270 MT quantities would be
required at the rate of INR 38643 MT for the manufacturing process in first quarter
of the FY
2012-13.
66
Zinc- 2 months- It is the second most important material required for manufacturing
purpose. Zinc is purchased from Hindustan Zinc limited (world’s second largest zinc
producer). Zinc is supplied from the smelters situated in Rajasthan, namely
Debari Udaipur & Chanderiya , Chittorgarh.
Other Raw Materials- 2 months – The other raw material primarily consists of
Lubricants, fibres, lead , wire drawing soaps , chemicals
etc.
Lubricants - lubricants purchased consists of WRL -55 and WRL-8 purchased from
Usha lubes situated in Jamshedpur. N80-BA and Nuristan are imported lubricants
purchased from Germany.
Fibres – It mainly consists of imported sisal fibre and indigenously purchased jute
and polypropylene fibre.
Fuel – Butane and High speed diesel, kerosene oil are purchased indigenously from
Eastern gases Pvt, ltd and Indian Oil Ltd
respectively.
Debtors (export) - 3 months –the company export its overseas products via ship. So
it takes more time then in domestic products. Because Export of products involves a
huge no. of documentations and clearances at the loading and unloading ports hence
time period for realization of export sales is 3 month s longer than the domestic
debtors.
Debtors (domestic) - 1
month
Other Materials- 1
month
Wire Rode- it is determined that the projected need of the Wire Rode in the first
quarter of the FY2012-13 would be 41270 MT. hence the value of this assets would be
-
67
Zinc-
= 561/3*2
Other raw material includes Fiber and Lubricant. As per holding period 2
months calculation it would come to INR 392.50lacs.
Stores and Spares are the next expense determined which has no holding period. The
Stock in Progress determines the holding period of unfinished products which
are under process. It is taken on the basis of Net Sales (0.25 months). Finished
goods determine the company’s stock of goods that has not been yet sold. It is taken
on the basis of Net Sales (0.75 months).
Sundry Debtors- this represents the debtors to whom goods have to sale while. The
company has both, Domestic sales as well as Export sales. So the value determined
is separated, for Export – 3 months and for Domestic – 1 month.
Other expenses include the other raw materials and miscellaneous expenses to
be included. A sum of all the items gives the Gross Current Assets for the quarter. I
t is expected to be INR 40743.15 lacs.
Current Liabilities
Credit from Jamshedpur 2.50 13,290.13
Zinc and other RM credit 3.00 2,894.47
Interpretation- Current Liabilities represent the value for that company has to
make payments.
Wire Rode- It is proclaimed from the Jamshedpur branch, as Ranchi is very near to
Jamshedpur, so it helps to save the transportation cost. The credit given is of
2.5 months.
Zinc and other materials- this includes Zinc, Lubricant, Fibre and other
requirements. The credit given is of 3 months, this shows good terms of the company
with its suppliers
in terms of payments.
68
Credit for all other Expenses- It includes power, Fuel, Spar es, Freight and
Selling Expenses incurred. The credit given is of 1 month for all expenses. A
summation of all the items gives the Total Current Liabilities. The projected value is
INR 17,481.71 lacs
= 40743.15 – 17481.71
Therefore, the estimated working capital requirement in the first quarter of the
FY
2012-13 would be INR 23261.44 lacs.
69
Current Liabilities
Credit from Jamshedpur 2.50 13,371.21
Zinc and other RM credit 3.00 2,860.88
The working capital requirements for the second quarter will be decrease up to
50.15 lacs.
70
Interpretation- As compared to the previous quarter this quarter is expected to see
a good increase in sales. The consumption of Wire Rods would increase by a
larger amount to 43176MT while Zinc also stands at 405mt. the stores
consumption as projected in the B Plan came up to INR 480.48 lacs. Since the
estimated sal es will be INR
44170.01 lacs. The Stock in Progress and Finished Goods worth (calculated in terms
of
Net Sales) will also increase. Debtors both domestic and exports would be rise . The
extent of increase in exports is much more than domestic; however this even blocks
a lot of funds as exports are realized in 3 months. Other expenses includ e other
raw materials will also increase as per sales growth.
Current Liabilities
Credit from Jamshedpur 2.50 13,908.80
Zinc and other RM credit 3.00 3,672.33
Therefore, the estimated working capital requireme nt in the third quarter of the
FY
2012-13 would be INR 25171.63 lacs.
71
4th Quarter of the FY2012-13
Current Liabilities
Credit from Jamshedpur 2.50 13,781.26
Zinc and other RM credit 3.00 3,556.68
72
Net Current assets 24530.01
Thus, the expected requirement of the quarter will be decrease while that of the last
quarter.
