INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Management studies in any country can never be completed without a probe into the country’s economy
with a view to if any, and recommend improvements in its working condition. This is especially true in a
developing country like that in Nepal.
Concept of PSU is not very well defined, as there is no nationally or internationally accepted definition of
PSU. Broadly speaking PSU refers to those activities of business which are owned and managed by the
central government, state or local providing goods and services for a price. The ownership with the
Government should be 51% or more.
Capital is one of the most important factors of production. It is required for financing all the activities in an
organization. No business can be establish without adequate amount of capital. The capital is required for
carrying out the day to day operation in an organization is known as working capital. It is the excess of
current assets over current liabilities. An adequate amount of working capital is maintained for the smooth
running of the firm and the fulfillment of twin objectives of liquidity and profitability. Empirical analysis
shows that ineffective management of working capital is one of the important factors causing industrial
sickness.
Efficient management of working capital is an important indication of sound health of an organization,
which requires reduction of unnecessary blocking of capital in order to bring down cost of financing. The
economic and trade regimes all over the world has been witnessing dramatic changes in the recent times. At
present about 80% of the capital in the world is in the hands of developed countries like the USA, European
Union, Japan etc. but in developing country like Nepal, capital is the scarce resource. The country is not able
to make effective utilization of available resources due to lack of adequate capital. The funds are borrowed
from the developed countries and global financial institutions like the World Bank, A. Development Bank
for financing the various requirements. Nepal’s external debt stood $112.1 billion. Meaning of Working
Capital
Every business needs funds to carry out business activities. Funds are needed for two purposes.
For the establishment of business
To carry out day to day activities.
The funds that are required to establish business such as fixed assets (plant and machinery, land and
building, furniture) are called fixed capital. Fund required to finance day to day business day to day
operation are called working-capital.
Working capital is the lifeblood and the nerve centre of a business. Just as circulation of blood is essential in
human body for maintaining life. Working capital is very essential for the smooth running of a business.
Working capital is that part of capital which is available and used for carrying out routine business operation
or financing current assets. Working capital is known as circulating capital because it keeps on circulating.
According to Genestenberg, “circulating capital means current assets of the company that are change in the
ordinary course of business firm one form to another, as for example from cash to inventories to receivables,
receivables to cash”.
A measure of both a company’s efficiency and its short term financial health. The working capital ratio is
calculated as:
Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
Positive working capital means that the company is able to pay off its short-term liabilities. Negative
working capital means that a company currently is unable to meet its short-term liabilities with its current
assets (cash, accounts receivable and inventory). Also known as “net working capital”, or the “working
capital ratio”.
Working capital also gives investors an idea of the company’s underlying operational efficiency. Money
that is tied up in inventory or money that customers still owe to the company cannot be used to pay off any
of the company’s obligations. So, if a company is not operating in the most efficient manner (slow
collection), it will show up as an increase in the working capital.
Current Assets
Current assets are those assets that can be converted into cash within an accounting year. They include:
Cash in hand and bank balance
Bills receivable
Sundry debtors
Short-term loans and advances
Inventory or stock
Temporary investment of surplus fund
Prepaid expenses
Accrued income
Current Liabilities
The current liabilities are those which are intended to be paid in the ordinary course of business within
a short period of normally one accounting year out of the current assets or the income of the business.
Current liabilities include:
Bills payable
Sundry creditors or account payable
Accrued or outstanding expenses
Short-term loans, advances and deposits
Dividend payable
Bank overdrafts
Provision for taxation
2. Common-size Statements:
The common-size statements, balance sheet and income statement are shown analytical
percentages. The figures are shown as percentages of total assets, total liabilities and total sales. The total
assets are taken as 100 and different assets are expressed as percentage of the total. Similarly, various
liabilities are taken as part of total liabilities, these statements also known as component percentage because
every individual item is stated as percentage of the total 100.
The short comings in comparative statements and trend percentages where changes in items
could not be compared with the totals have been covered up. The analyst is able to asses the figures in
relation to total values.
Flow of funds:
Various sources from which funds were raised and the uses to which these funds were put. Funds flow
statement is formulated on the basis of working capital basis and on Cash basis
Steps in pre preparation of funds flow statement:
1. Increase or decrease of working capital
2. Funds from operations
3. Funds flow statement
Importance of Funds flow statement :
1. It helps in the analysis of financial operations
2. It throws light on many perplexing questions of general interest
3. It helps in formation of a realistic dividend policy.
4. It acts as future guide
5. It helps in the proper allocation of resources
6. It helps in appraising the use of working capital
7. It helps in knowing the overall credit-worthiness of a firm
Funds flow statement:
1. It should be remembered that a funds flow statement is a substitute to the income statement or a balance
sheet. It provides only some additional information as regards changes in working capital.
2. It cannot reveal continuous changes.
3. It is not an original statement but simply arrangement of data given in the Financial statement.
RATIO ANALYSIS
In valuing and assessing the financial health of any company, various types of analyses are necessary to
develop a competent report and conclusion, whether it is digging into the qualitative aspects of a company,
or the quantitative. With the quantitative, it considers examining the measurable dynamics of a company.
How we pull out the quantitative aspect will come largely from calculations using the items on a company’s
financial statements (i.e. income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows). As we probably know,
the majority of the ratios calculated in this report will be looking at items from a financial statement and
understanding the relationship between them. Like any research, quantitative analysis will produce excellent
results when combined with other methods and techniques in studying a company.
Types of Ratios
Fig : 2
Leverage ratios
The leverage ratio, or gearing level, effectively measures the fixed debt payment commitment. Too high a
gearing level can imply a high risk to the cash flow of a company and its ability to pay dividends to
shareholders.
Capital structure or leverage ratios throw light on the long-term solvency of a firm.
a. Debt-equity ratio
b. Debt-assets ratio
c. Interest coverage ratio
1. Debt-equity ratio
Debt-equity ratio measures the ratio of long-term or total debt to shareholders equity.
Shareholder’s Equity
Benchmark: “1”; A ratio greater than “1” indicates the company’s assets are mainly financed with
debt, while a ratio less than “1” indicates the company’s assets are primarily supplied with equity.
If the D/E ratio is high, the owners are putting up relatively less money of their own. It is danger
signal for the lenders and creditors. If the project should fail financially, the creditors would lose heavily.
A low D/E ratio has just the opposite implications. To the creditors, a relatively high stake of the
owners implies sufficient safety margin and substantial protection against shrinkage in assets.
This ratio is not much different from the Total Debt to Equity ratio. Essentially, it tells us what portion of the
company’s assets is financed through debt.
Debt to total assets ratio = __Total debt___
Total Assets
Benchmark: Industry average or “1”. If the ratio is above “1”, that would indicate that the majority of the
company’s assets are financed through debt.
While if the ratio is under “1”, than the company is primarily financed through equity.
3. Interest Coverage Ratio
Interest Coverage Ratio measures the firm’s ability to make contractual interest payments.
Interest coverage ratio = EBIT (Earning before interest and taxes)
Interest
Benchmark: “1”. The lower the ratio, the more of a burden the company’s interest debt is on the company.
If a company does not have any long-term debt, this ratio does not apply, because there is no item that will
incur interest.
Liquidity Ratio
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of a firm to meet its short-term obligations and help a good financial
modeler assess this aspect of a company’s performance from the results of a financial model or financial
statements.
There are 2 common liquidity ratios that a financial modeler is likely to come across.
a. Current ratio
b. Quick ratio
i. Current Ratio
The current ratio gives an indication of whether the business will be able to pay its debts in the short
term (i.e. the next 12 months). Clearly, this ratio should be as high as possible, and a prudent ratio is 2 : 1
Current Liabilities
Benchmark: “1”; A ratio of “1” would indicate that the company has exactly enough cash (or assets that is
relatively easy to turn into cash) to pay off its debt. If the ratio is higher than “1”, the company can
successfully pay off its debt while at the same time still have cash left over to continue operating. Naturally,
if the ratio is under “1”, then investors should be weary
of the fact that the company cannot pay off its short-term debt if necessary. If a company has a ratio of
“2.5”, one can say the company can pay off its liabilities more than two times over.
ii. Quick Ratio
The quick ratio, or acid test, focuses upon whether the business could pay its debts in the very short
term – i.e. tomorrow, or next week. As stock cannot always be sold quickly it is removed from the
calculation of current assets. Again, this ratio should be as high as possible, and a prudent ratio is 1 : 1
Efficiency Ratios
Activity ratios measure the speed with which various accounts/assets are converted into sales or cash.
There are 2 common liquidity ratios that a financial modeler is likely to come across.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Pas SC .L.pike .RT.H (1984) studied that over the past 40 yrs major theoretical developments have
occurred in the areas of longer- term investment and financial decision making. Many of this new concept
and the related technique are now being employed successfully in industrial practice. By contrast, far less
attention has been paid to the area of short- term finance in particular that of working capital management.
Such neglect might be acceptable were working cap[ital consideration of relatively imp to the firm, but
effective working capital management has a crucial role to play enhancing the profitability and growth of the
firm. Indeed, experience show that inadequate planning and control of working capital is one of the more
common causes of business failure.
Herzfeld B2 (1990) studied that “cash is king” so say the money manager who share the responsibility of
running this country business. And with banks demanding more their prospective borrowers, greater
emphasis has been placed on those accountable for so called working capital management. Working capital
management refer to the management of current or short term assets and short term liabilities. In essence,
the purpose of that function is to make certain that the company has enough assets to operate its business.
Here are things you should know about working capital management.
Samilojlu f and demirgunes K3 (2008) studied that effect of working capital management on firm
profitability. In accordance with this aim, to consider statistically significant relationship b/w firm
profitability and the components of cash conversion cycle at length, a sample consisting of Istanbul stock
exchange (ISE) listed
Hardcastle J5 (2009) Studied that working capital, sometimes called gross working capital, simply refer to
the firm’s total current assets ( the short term ones), cash, marketable securities, account receivable and
inventory. While long term financial analysis primarily concerned strategic planning, working capital
management deals with day to day operation. By making sure that production line do not stop due to lack of
raw material, that inventories do not build up because production continues unchanged when sales dip, that
customer pay on time and that enough cash is on hand to make payment when they are due. Obviously
without good working capital management, no firm can be efficient and profitable.
Pai, Vadivel & Kamala (1995) have studied about the diversified companies and financial performance.
Main purpose of research was found out the relationship between diversified firms and their financial
performance. For the purpose of research, they have selected seven large firms and analysed those firm
which having different products-both related and otherwise-in their portfolio and operating in diverse
industries. In this study, a set of performance measures / ratios was employed to determine the level of
financial performance and variation in performance from one firm to another has been observed and
statistically established. They revealed that the diversified firms studied have been healthy financial
performance.
Vijayakumar A. (1996) has studied about ‘Assessment of Corporate Liquidity - a discriminate analysis
approach’ in this research he has revealed that the growth rate of sales, leverage, current ratio, operating
expenses to sales and vertical integration was the important variables which determine the profitability of
companies in the sugar industry. Also he has studied the short term liquidity position in twenty-eight
selected sugar factories in co-operative and private sectors. In research a discriminate analysis has been used
by the researcher, to undertaken to distinguish the good risk companies from poor risk companies based on
current and liquidity ratios. In this study discriminating ‘Z’ scores have been calculated with the help of
discriminate function and according to the ‘Z’ scores the companies are ranked in the order of liquidity.
Loundes (1998) studied on his research paper regarding “performance of Australian Government Trading
Enterprises: An overview”. He has provided an overview of GTE performance over the 5 years to 1996
using the IBIS Enterprise Database, following the method of analyzing firm performance as outlined by the
steering committee (1998). He has made comparative analysis and its results indicate that there are large
differences in performance across firms, and more particularly, across the industries. Assessing the
performance of Government Trading Enterprises (GTEs) has become increasingly important in the context
of the push towards privatisation.
Dhankar (1998) has studied about the criteria of performance measurement for business enterprises in India
study of public sector undertakings. The author gives a new model for measuring the performance of a
business enterprise in India, wherein, the basis is to compare its actual rate of return with its expected risk
adjusted rate of return. Realizing the importance and controversy of public sector in India, an attempt was
made to measure the performance of all public sector undertakings, which were started up to 1964 and were
in operation until 1983. It is shocking to know that half of them on an average want to talk of making excess
returns, have not been able to earn equal to their cost of capital.
Sengupta (1998) studied concerning the performance of the fertilizers industry in India. By Analysing of
cost functions and cobb-douglas production function have been made to check the performance of the
industry. Analysis of shifting cost functions further highlight that the firms belonging to this industry expand
capacities, even before fully exploiting the existing capacity conforming to the oligopolistic behavioural
tendency of the firms belonging to the fertilizers industry. The results showed that the industry was subject
to the law of increasing costs. He founded that, to get further support from the examination of the production
function, which revealed that the average productivity of labour exceeds its marginal productivity..
D’Souza & Megginson (1999) have studied concerning the financial and operating performance of
privatized firms during the 1990s. They made comparison about the pre and post privatization financial and
operating performance of 85 companies from 28 industrialized countries that were privatized through public
share offerings for the period from 1990 to 1996. They have noticed that the significant increases in
profitability, output, operating efficiency, dividend payments and significant decreases in leverage ratios for
the full sample of firms after privatization. They have also concluded that the capital expenditures increase
significantly in absolute terms, but not relative to sales and Employment declines, but insignificantly. As per
findings, they strongly recommended that privatization yields significant performance improvements.
Raghunathan & Das (1999) have discussed in their paper regarding corporate performance of post-
Liberalization. They analysed the performance of Indian Manufacturing sector in the last 8 years since
liberalization on the parameters of profitability, liquidity, leverage and solvency. They also observed that the
solvency and profitability ratios were encouraging till 1996 they have been gradually diminishing after that
and this problem gets more pronounced when the EVA was calculated which showed that the Indian
Manufacturing sector has destroyed wealth, while the MNCs have generated wealth for their shareholders.
They have pointed out after the analysis; the poor corporate performance has led to an economic slowdown
and not the other way round and corporate raised funds during the blacken days of equity markets and ended
up investing these funds at below their cost of capital. In short, the outcome has been a prolonged economic
slowdown.
Nitsure & Joseph (1999) have studied about, “Liberalisation and the Behaviour of Indian Industry (A
Corporate - Sector Analysis based on Capacity Utilisation), and examined the impact of economic reform on
productive capacity creation and utilization across various industries in the nineties. They analyzed the
determinants of capacity use such as credit flows, import liberalization, fiscal consolidation and demand
conditions, using panel 35 data for 802 firms for the period 1993-98 to suggest an optimum combination of
policies that is critical for realizing the unused capacity. They suggested that although substantial
achievements occurred initially in creation and utilization of capacities in the various industries, there was
significant room for further improvement in utilization.
Rajeswari (2000) studied about the Liquidity Management of Tamil Nadu Cement Corporation Ltd.
Alangulam-A Case Study. She concluded from the analysis; the liquidity position of TANCEM was not
stable. After the comparative analysis regarding liquidity ratios, she has found there was too much of
liquidity in the first two years of the study period and also a very high degree of liquidity was also bad as
idle assets earn nothing and affects profitability. In short, she concluded that the liquidity management of
TANCEM is poor and is not satisfactory.
Aggarwal & Singla (2001) have studied about developed a single index of financial performance through the
technique of Multiple Discriminate Analysis (MDA), by selecting 11 ratios and selected ratios used as
inputs. For the purpose of analysis they selected only those ratios, which was relevant in distinguish between
profit making units and loss making units in Indian paper industry. They concluded that, the model has
correctly classified 82.14 percent of units selected as profit making and loss marking. They mentioned in
their study the inventory turnover ratio, interest coverage ratio, net profit to total assets and earnings per
share are the most important indicators of financial performance. Also they suggested suggests that the
results of Multiple Discriminate Analysis could be used as predictor of future profitability / sickness.
Sur (2001) studied in his paper about the Liquidity Management: An overview of four companies in Indian
Power Sector using the data for the period of 1987-1988 to 1996-1997. He had applied accounting
techniques of comparative analysis regarding the liquidity management in Electricity generation and
distribution industry. He revealed that the overall liquidity should be managed in such a way that not only it
should not hamper profitability but also its contribution towards increase in profitability should be positive.
Sur, Biswas & Ganguly (2001) have studied about the Liquidity Management in Indian Private Sector
Enterprises - A case study of Indian Primary Aluminium industry. From the analysis, they had summarized
that the overall performance regarding liquidity management at INDAL was better in terms of efficient
utilization of short term funds, whereas HINDALCO was unable to do so. They found that a very high
degree of positive correlation between liquidity and profitability in case of both the companies was a notable
feature, reflecting the favourable effect of liquidity on profitability.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. it may be understood
as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. So, the research methodology not only talks
about the research methods but also considers the logic behind the method used in the context of the
research study.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
Descriptive research is used in this study because it will ensure the minimization of bias and
maximization of reliability of data collected. The researcher had to use fact and information already
available through financial statements of earlier years and analyse these to make critical evaluation of the
available material. Hence by making the type of the research conducted to be both Descriptive and
Analytical in nature.
From the study, the type of data to be collected and the procedure to be used for this purpose were
decided.

From the above graph it was analyzed that gross profit ratio was negative for most of the
years except the year 2018 it is due to inefficiency in producing goods.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths Weaknesses
1. Excellence in vehicle safety and design proven by 1. Poor brand portfolio, leading to fewer sales
many awards 2. Low presence in the strongest U.S. vehicle market and
2. The 6th highest automotive brand reputation in the no presence in Japan’s vehicle market
world 3. Declining quality of company’s management
3. Effective research and development (R&D) 4. Product recalls damaging brand reputation
spending resulting in new innovative cars
4. Low cost to drive and durable cars
5. Strong presence in China’s market
Opportunities Threats
Cost of goods sold was more than the sales except the year 2018. So, the BM Hyundai. got gross loss in
most of the years.
Operating loss decreased up to the year 2018 and then increased in the year 2019.
The BM Hyundai. did not earned net profit in all the years.
It had been maintaining high inventory levels for all the years.
In most of the years debtor’s collection period was very high.
Most of the funds rose through debts with high interest rates.
Most of the funds were lost in operations.
1.The use of estimates in allocating cost to each period. The ratios will be as accurate as the estimates.
2.The cost principal is used to prepare financial statements. Financial data is not adjusted for price
changes or inflation/deflation.
3.Companies have a choice of accounting methods( for example, inventory LIFO vs FIFO and
depreciation methods). These differences impact ratios and make it difficult to compare companies using
different methods.
4.Companies may have different fiscal year ends making comparison difficult if the industry is cyclical.
5. Diversified companies are difficult to classify for comparison purposes.
6. Financial statement analysis does not provide answers to all the users’ questions, Infact, it usually
generates more questions.
SUGGESTIONS
BM Hyundai should adopt cost control measures by drawing inspiration from prospering sugar factories.
BM Hyundai should reduce operating and administrative expenses, it will increase over all efficiency of
the firm.
A high level of debt introduces inflexibility in the firms operations due to increaseasing interference and
pressures from creditors. A high debt company is able to borrow funds on very restrictive terms and
conditions. So, it should raise owners funds.
BM Hyundai can adopt forward integration strategy by opening retail outlets where its own sugar can be
sold. It increases revenues one hand and cash position on the other.
CONCLUSION
The present study of “Working capital management In BM Hyundai,.” Was conducted with the help of
annual report. Various financial tools are used in the study from the ratio analysis it has been found out that
the average collection period of the company is high and capital gearing is low. To extent possible the study
has achieved its stated objectives. It is on the part of the company to accept the suggestions.
BM Hyundai Profitability position was deteriorated year by year, liquidity position also moderate, long
term solvency of the firm is also moderate due to high debts, the firm’s efficiency in utilizing assets is also
very low.
Finally the study helped me to acquire practical knowledge that was only over by books and papers alone. I
take up this opportunity to thank one and all for making this study a complete one.
