The Bagalkot cements and industries ltd was incorporated on 6th

September 1955 it was

started by late shri. A.G.Tendulkar.The Company started its production with installation

of wet process kiln with a capacity of 300TPD in 1960. Initially it was started with one

Kiln, one raw mill and one cement mill as its machinery assets, 1200 strong workforce

and 990 acres of landed property.

The project report on “WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT” is studied in

the “THE BAGALKOT CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD” at Bagalkot for a period of two

months as summer in plant training.

During the study I found that the company is carrying its activity in producing

cement. The company managers have co-operated with me a lot in completing my

summer-in-plant training. They have given me all the information that I need for my

study.

The study is conducted in order to know how the organization is maintaining the working

capital. So as to identify the problems of such a title and give suggestions and

conclusions. In addition to this concept studying the over all organization role of different

department functions of their respective departments, procedures and policies.

The basic objective of the study is to see the liquidity position of the company by

the help of ratio analysis.

The scope of the study is limited to working capital ratios and regarding the liquidity of

the company with whatever basic financial statements. It will help to understand the

company’s liquidity position.

1 liquidity ratios

Current ratios: The current assets ratio as per the stander is 2:1. Through

calculation it is observed that, it has been decreased by 0.52 to 0.49 to 0.40 from

2003 to 2005. And again it decreased to 0.20 in the year 2006 but 2008 it increased to

1.83 but it doesn‟t reach the standard ratio, so it is unfavorable to the company.

2 Quick ratio: the quick ratio of the company has been decreased by continuously i

.e 0.31 to 0.29 to 0.20 to 0.13 from 2003 to 2006 & in 2008 it is slightly increased by

0.69.But it doesn‟t reaches the standard ratio which it is 1:1 it shows that companies

liquidity position of the company is not good, so it is unfavorable to the company.

3 Working capital turns over ratio:

The working capital turn over ratio indicates that working capital is less in

company. The working capital ratio of the company was 1.61% in 2003 & 2004 also

same 1.61 but it was decreases 0.93 to 0.52 to 0.98 times from 2005- 2008

respectively. In the firm there is continuous decrease for 5 year. It has decreased in

working capital turnover ratio so the firm is weak in working capital turnover ratio.

4 According to the statement of changes of working capital, amount is decreased

from year to year up to 2003 to 2006 but there is slight increased in the year 2008.

5 According to the current asset to total asset ratio the company is having less

current asset so better they have increases the current assets.

Conclusion

By analyzing the topic of working capital management in Bagalkot cement industry

ltd. I conclude that the company is having less working capital but in the year 2008

the working capital is increasing. So if the company maintains the constant working

8

capital which helps perform the day to day business by increasing the current

assets. And the liquidity position of the company is also not satisfactory.

This project report helped me to get the knowledge on the working capital

utilization for better maintenance of the company.

Suggestions

1. Company need to increase the current assets turn over ratio by increasing in

their current assets.

2. The company needs to increase its current ratio by increasing its current

assets so it helps to maintain standard form 2:1.

3. Liquidity position of the company is weak hence it should increase

investment in current assets.

4. Company properly has not invested in working capital during last four

years, so company should constantly strive to maintain the working capital.

HISTORY OF CEMENT INDUSTRY:

The history of Cement can be traced to the days of Babylonia and Assyria. The Egyptians

used clay motor in the Pyramids and Romans produced a type of Cement of by

mixing Volcanic Ash with Quicklime which, to this day, is often entirely free from

fissures whenever mankind has undertaken to build with any degree of permanence

and using rock, stone or brick, it has been found that some form of Cement is

an indispensable construction material.

Before the development of Portland cement the Principal Cements were

Natural Cement and Puzzolan. Natural Cement is made from Cement rock, naturally

occurring limestone that needs only to be burned and pulverized. Puzzolan Cement is a

mixture of slaked lime and granulated blast furnace slag.

The history of Portland cement traces back to 18th Century when a patent

for making of Portland cement was obtained by Joseph, a brick layer of Leeds, England

in 1824. This Cement was called as Portland cement because when it hardened it

produced a yellowish Gray mass resembling in appearance the stone from the famous

quarry of Portland, England. The new Cement did not receive ready acceptance because

of the established reputation of the natural Cements. It was not the until the 1850 that

Portland and by 1860 the industry had developed in the European continent, particularly

in Belguam, Germany and France. The industry was well established in Europe before

the first patent to produce Portland cement was granted in 1872 in the US in the year

1904 Portland Cement entered into India since then it has been one of the major industry

Indian economy constituting a major share.

I remain ever grateful to all respondents for their co-operation

INDUSTRY PROFILE

India is 3rd

largest producer with total production capacity exceeding 102.2 MT,

including mini sector. China & Japan stands first & second in the world in the production

of cement.

It is great centralization & control in cement industry then any other industry in

India. The industry is well diversified over all the states of India.

Cement plays an important role in the development of the country. Cement is

being used from more than 150 years of construction. The cement consumption

determines the infrastructure strength and development of the nation.

Since the manufacture of cement require huge raw materials like limestone, clay

& gypsum. The industry has been attracted at the point of minimum transportation costs

in relation to raw materials .Lime stone of excellent quality exists in abundance in many

parts of the country.

The history of cement industry in India started when the first plant was set up in

1904 at Chennai (Madras) in their earlier stage.

Now-a-days cement has become the essential unit used for the construction

works. The cement industries have been growing with global competence for quality and

satisfaction of the products.

DEPARTMENTAL OVER

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

It is the one of the essential unit of the organization, which converts available raw

material into saleable goods. It looks after the production of the cement and without this

department there is no question of running the industry. All the functions like crushing,

kiln, heating, packing all will be taken care by this department.

LABORATORY AND QUALITY CONTROL

He laboratory of BCIL, is well equipped with all modern instruments of testing

cement, here the cement sample is taken for test & is tested on the base of specialization

as recommended by the ISI & cement association of India. The features like setting time,

Page 19: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

19

compressive strength, color limestone, quality, clinker quality, gypsum, iron & grade of

cement is tested to its satisfaction & the similar process is carried on for all production of

cement tones.

STORE DEPARTMENT

In store department the things, which are required by the various department of

factory, are stored in proper way & in systematic racks. Every item from pin to bag is

stored & made available to the department as & when required so that there won’t to be

any stores manager & is assisted by this staff ever requirement of the employees like

dress etc stored.

ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT:

It is the department which stores the power so generated in & center of power

supply & thus it regulates the power supply to the department in an economical way.

PRODUCTION PROCESS OF CEMENT PLANT

Cement is manufactured from various methods for eg wet process and dry process.

Bagalkot Cement Industries Ltd., manufacturers cement adopting Dry process method.

Various processes in the production are as follows.

1. Limestone:

The process starts with quarry where the limestone is found. Lime stone is chief

raw materials used. The contents of limestone are calcium carbonate (caco3 98%).

Page 20: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD”

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

20

Lime is formed after heating the limestone & carbon dioxide is released as by

product. Further the limestone has to be processed by reducing them in there size.

This is done by feeding the limestone into the crusher. The limestone is reduced

to the size round about 20-25mm.

2. Stockpile/blending:

The crushed raw materials are stored ready for use in many plants; a buildings

stockpile is used in order to assist in checking any chemical variations in the raw

materials coming from quarries. A stocker builds up a layer upon layer to from

the stockpile.

Depending on area of the quarry it comes from each layer may have slightly

different composition.

3. Raw milling/Ball mill

After milling in the correct proportions the limestone & the shale are fed to a mill

where they are ground to a fine powder called raw meal. In most modern plant, a

closed circuit hall milling system is used.

The ball mill basically a steel tube containing steel balls ranging is size typically

from 90mm downwards. The balls gradually grind the raw materials to a fine

powder. The mill is usually of single chamber design & may be fitted with a

classifying liming.

The lining has the effect of grinding the ball sizes of that the larger balls at the

inlet end when the larger pieces of raw material have to be broken & smaller balls

at the outlet end where the finger grinding takes place

4. Raw meal blending

The raw meal is then conveyed to silos for the future blending. It is essential for

raw meal to be of consistent chemical quality, if problems at the kiln stage are to

be avoided.

The base of the blending silo is divided into segments covered with porous tiles or

canvas blending is achieved by arranging for up to three times as much air to be

blown through one action of the base compared to the others tumbling mixing

Page 21: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD”

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

21

action is imported the raw meal after predetermined mixing time, or when the

technical department is satisfied, that the raw meal is of consistent chemical

composition.

5. Raw meal storage

The raw meal is from blending silo’s blow. It is now ready to be

Introduced to the next stage of the process, the kiln system.

6. Pre-heater (4 stage suspension):

The raw meal passes through a pre-heater. This 4 stages suspension pre-heater is

just one of the many types in use. It consists the 4 stage of cyclones. Hot exhaust

gases from the kiln enter the bottom of the pre-heater column at the stage 4 cycle

one & travel upwards through each of the other stage. The raw meal is fed the gas

dust from the stages 2 cyclone. The meal is immediately picked up by the hot gas

& carried into the stage 1.

This process continues until the meal falls from the stage 4 cyclone & into the

kiln in let chute or hearth. At reaching pre-heat stage, heat from the hot gases is

transferred to the meal. Then gases from the kiln enter the pre-heater at about

1000 degree centigrade & leaves stage 1 at about 350*c the raw meal leaves stage

at about 800*c.

7. Calcinations

At this temperature of 800 c, the calcinations of the calcium carbonate in the raw

meal, that is conversion of cac3 to line has started. About 30% of calcinations will

have take place by the time the raw meal reaches the kiln

8. Dust control electrostatic precipitators:

To prevent dust from the kiln or raw milling system entering the atmosphere, the

gas is passes through electrostatic precipitators. To condition the dust laden gas

using a water spray, either in the preheater or in as external conditioning lower.

Page 22: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD”

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

22

As the dust laden gas enters the chamber in which electrodes & earthed collector

plates by vibrating the collector plates periodically the dust drops into the happer

& is returned with the raw meal to the kiln system.

The cleaned exhaust gas, mainly carbon dioxide nitrogen & water vapor, can then

be safely released into the atmosphere.

9. The kiln:

The partially pre-heated clacinized raw meal is fed to kiln through a steel tube

typically with a length to diameter ratio of 16:01 & in cloned at an angle of about

3*.

It rotates at a speech of 3rpm on a system of rollers & is driven through a

mounted belt around the circumference. The seals at either end of the kiln are

designed to prevent the ingress of cold air & to accommodate expression &

rotation. The kiln is lined refractory bricks & fired either by oil or gas at the lower

end.

If coal is used, it must be pulverized often using a ring roller mill such as this. If

heavy fuel oil is used, it must first be heated to reduce its viscosity & aid

atomization. Raw meal from the pre-heater enters at the end & gradually moves

down that the kiln

Rotates. At firstly of the calcinations takes place so that the feed consists mostly

of lime, silica, alumina & iron all in a hot reactive state.

The hottest part of the kiln is near the tip of the frame. This is the burning zone

where the feed as at temperature of around 1450*c & is in a partially molten state

it is here that the four main constitutes of the feed by chemical reaction from

cement clinker.

10. Clinker:

A mix of complex compounds referred to in cement chemist’s nations as c2s, c3a

and c4af.

11. Grate cooler:

Page 23: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD”

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

23

Another type of cooler is commonly used in the grate cooler. There is an empty

cooler; the reciprocating grate through which air is blown is visible.

As the clinker moves along the grate air cools it & the air itself cools the pre-

heater prior to relating the kiln as secondary combustion air. However, more air is

required for combustion is blown through the gate some of this excess hot air is

used to dry & cool the fired plants after cooling the clinker is stored ready for

grinding into cement.

12. Cement milling:

The mixture of clinker & gypsum now passes to the cement mill. Ordinarily, the

cement ball mill is similar to the raw mill. The cement mill is divided into 2 or 3

chambers by perforated steel diaphragms, each chamber containing a range of ball

sizes, but because cement required finer grinding the smallest balls is smaller than

those in a raw mill.

Classifying lining are often used in the 2nd

chamber mill to separate the ball size.

13. Open circuit milling:

Open circuit milling is often used for ordinary Portland cement (opc). Here the

cement is ground to required fineness in one pass through the mill. Open circuit

mills are generally longer than closed circuit mills for this reason. The ground

cement is conveyed directly away & the mill is vented in a dust filtration system.

14. Closed circuit milling:

In a certain circumstances closed milling can have advantage consuming less

power overall. The closed circuit system is similar classifier to that used raw

milling a separating out the coarse fiction of the mill production & returning it to

the mill for further grinding. This particularly suitable for hardening cement RHC

that has to be ground very finally.

15. Storage:

From milling the system, the cement is often pumped through pipes by what is

basically a screw fed blower. The speed screw delivers the cement into a high

24

volume airflow provided by compressors. The air conveys the cement along a

pipeline to storage silos.

16. Dispatch:

Cement is bagged, prior to bulk dispatch by either rail or road. The latest packing

plants are fully automatic. For packing, various types of the bags are used like HDPE,

polythene bags, paper bags.

GROWTH OF THE COMPANY

The present Management of Kanoria Group Keeping in view of the good prospect for the

Cement Industry has made many changes. In order to economize the Cost of production,

Management modernized the machinery’s and changed the production process from Wet

to Dry method. As a result, its capacity of production changed from 90 thousands tones/

annum to 3.3 lakh tones/annum. To bring more Technological changes in production the

management reached an agreement with M/s Blue Circle Industries PLC in 1985. Under

the services of BCI, it has been envisaged that the existing capacity 1000TPD will reach

to 1200 to 1500 TPD under existing resources only.

To meet the growing needs of the nation, another Wet process Kiln of 300TPD

was installed. The entire machinery for the two kilns was imported from M/s Krupps of

West Germany. In order to upgrade the capacity of the Kiln and bring operational

improvement, the company entered into a technical agreement with PLC UK, who is one

of the largest operating cement companies in the world.

The chief advantages of this technical agreement with Blue Circle are:-

1. Sustained increased production of cement.

2. Improved thermal efficiency of the Kiln.

3. Energy conservation.

4. Training.

5. Improved method of plant maintenance

In September 1982, to achieve fuel saving, the two wet process Kilns were replaced by a

new 1000TPD dry process Kiln, supplied by ACC Ltd. The precision and care observed

at Bagalkot cements and Industries Ltd., throughout the manufacturing process, reflects

in quality and product which surpasses the specifications laid down by the Indian

Standards Institution (ISI).The cement produced undergoes a number of physical tests

such as Compressive strength, Fineness, Setting time, Soundness etc.

As every enterprise knows that, working capital is the lifeblood and control of nerve

center of the business. Just as circulation of blood is the essential for maintaining

life, working capital is also essential for maintaining the smooth running of the

business.

The importance of working capital management is indisputable; Business

liability relies on its ability to effective management of receivables, inventory, and

payables. By minimizing the amount of funds tied up in current assets. Firms are able

to reduce financing costs or increase the funds available for expansion. Many

managerial efforts are put into bringing non-optimal level of current assets and

liabilities back towards their optimal levels.

Working Capital refers to the amount of capital which is readily available to

an organization that is, working capital is the difference between resources in cash

and readily convertible into cash (current assets) and organizational commitments for

which cash will soon be required (current liabilities).

Thus, working capital involves activities such as arranging the short-term

finance, negotiating favorable credit terms, controlling the movement of cash,

administrating accounts receivables and monitoring the investments also a great deal

of time.

Definition of working capital

Gerstenberg

“Working capital means current assets of company that are changed in the ordinary

course of business from one form to another, ex: from cash to inventories, inventories to

receivables, receivables into cash”

Shubin “Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to the cost of operating the

enterprise. Operating expenses involve investment in current assets, payment towards

overhead and expenses. Investment made in these heads is classified as working capital”.

J. smith

“The sum of the current assets is the working capital of the business”

’’WORKING CAPITAL = CURRENT ASSETS – CURRENT LIABILITY”

Factors influencing working capital requirements

Nature of business – Important factor that determines requirement of working

capital is nature of business a firm is undertaking. Firm those are engaged in

production and marketing need more working capital compared to the firm

that are in trading or service oriented business. This is because

manufacturing units need more current assets compared to service oriented

units.

Seasonality of operations – Some firms’ products sell only during particular seasons.

For instance, air conditioners sell more during the summer than in the winter. Such firms

have greater working capital requirements during peak seasons and lower requirements

during other seasons. Firms whose sales are not affected by seasons have stable working

capital requirements.

Market conditions – The level of competition existing in the market also influences

working capital requirement. When competition is high, the company should have

enough inventories of finished goods to meet a certain level of demand. Otherwise,

customers are highly likely to switch over to competitor’s products. It thus has greater

working capital needs. When competition is low, but demand for the product is high, the

firm can afford to have a smaller inventory and would consequently require lesser

working capital.

Supply conditions – If supply of raw material and spares is timely and adequate, the

firm can get by with a comparatively low inventory level. If supply is scarce and

unpredictable or available during particular seasons, the firm will have to obtain raw

material when it is available

Current Assets

Current Assets are resources, which are in cash or will soon be

converted into cash in “the ordinary course of business”.

Current Assets of a firm include –

Cash balances

Accounts receivables

Inventories of: -

- Raw material

- Work-in-progress

- Finished goods

The two major characteristics of current assets are –

They have a short life span. Cash balances are held only for a week or so;

accounts receivables typically are held for duration of 30-60 days and inventories

may be held for 30-100 days.

They are rapidly transformed into other asset forms. Cash is utilized to purchase

raw material. Raw material is converted to work-in-progress, which in turn is

converted to finished goods. Finished goods are sold for cash or credit, which

creates accounts receivables. Accounts receivables are finally realized in cash.

Current Liabilities

Current Liabilities are commitments, which will soon require cash

settlement in “the ordinary course of business”.

The Current Liabilities of a firm include-

1. Bills Payables

2. Sundry creditors/Accounts receivables

3. Accrued/outstanding expenses

4. Dividend payable.

CLASSIFICATION OF WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital can be classified on the basis of concept and on the basis of time.

Various types of working capital are as follows

1) On the basis of concept:

Working capital on this basis of concept is classified into

A) Gross working capital: It refers to total investment made in current asset.

an accounting year. Current assets include cash, debtors, bills receivables and short

term securities etc.

B) Net working capital: It is 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. Net working capital can be positive or negative. Positive net

working capital will arise when current asset exceeds current liabilities. A negative

net working capital occurs when current liabilities are in excess of current assets.

2) On the basis of time :

Classification of working capital in this case is made on the basis of time for which

investment is required. Kinds of working capital in this category are:

1) Permanent: Some portion of working capital always remains permanent or fixed.

This refers to minimum investment a firm has to make and keep in certain current

assets. Firm has to always maintain minimum cash balance, inventory, debtors etc. as

there current assets are required permanently. They are normally financed through

long term capital.

Such permanent working capital is further classified into

a) regular and b) reserve

a) Regular: regular permanent working capital is used in

Routine business operations.

b) Reserve: reserve working capital refers to some portion of working capital that is

kept as reserve to meet any contingency.

2) Temporary working capital: required of such capital varies or fluctuates depending

on season. Its requirement is not continuous it is normally finance through short term

sources, like overdraft, cash credit and other short term liabilities.

Temporary working capital is further classified into:

a) Seasonal working capital: requirement of working capital is based on

particular seasons

ex; winter, summer or festival seasons etc during these seasons there will be

additional demand for the products. To meet out such demand firm has to make

additional arrangement of working capital.

b) Special working capital: requirement of such working capital is necessitated to

meet demands of special occasion’s ex. Occasion of world cup cricket, Olympics,

kumba mela, elections. During these special occasions demand for goods and service

will increase. To meet such special demand firm has to make temporary arrangement

of working capital

ESTIMATION OF WORKING CAPITAL

REQIUREMENTS

Managing the working capital is a matter of balance. The firms must have sufficient

funds on hand to meet its immediate needs. The manufacturing oriented organizations are

the following aspects have to be taken into consideration while estimating the working

capital requirements. They are:

Total costs incurred on material, wages and overheads.

The length of time for which raw material are to remain in stores before

They are issued for production.

The length of the production cycle or work-in-process, i.e., the time

taken for conversion of raw material into finished goods.

The length of sales cycle during which finished goods to be kept waiting

for sales.

The average period of credit allowed to customers.

The amount of cash required paying day-today expenses of the business.

The average amount of cash required to make advance payments

The average credit period expected to be allowed by suppliers.

Time lag in the payment of wages and other expenses.

COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

The components of working capital are:

Cash management

Receivables management

Inventory management

CASH MANAGEMENT

Cash is the liquid form of an asset. It is the ready money available in the firm or

with the business, essential for its operations. A firm needs the cash for the following

three purposes:

Transaction Motive: The firm must and should keep the funds for transactions like

purchase, sales etc. These activities, which are not known in advance, are not considered

while preparing a cash budget

Precautionary motive: The firm also keeps funds for the safeguard against

uncertainties, which are an integral part of business operations.

Speculative Motive: To tap profits from opportunities arising from fluctuations in

commodity prices, security prices, interest rates etc. The company with surplus cash is in

a better position to exploit such situations.

RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT

Receivable represents amounts owed to the firm as a result of sale of goods or services

on the ordinary course of business. These are claims of the firm against its customers and

form part of its current assets. These receivables are carried for the customers. The

period of credit and extent of receivables depends upon the credit policy followed by the

firm. The main purpose of maintaining or investing in receivables is to meet competitors,

to increase sales, and to maintain a cordial relationship with the clients.

Page 37: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD”

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

37

Receivables management is the process of making decisions relating to

investment in trade debtors. However, at the same time, investment in this current asset

involves cost considerations also. Therefore, there is always a risk of bad debts too.

Credit Evaluation

There are three approaches used for credit evaluation. These are:

Traditional Credit analysis

Numerical Credit Scoring

Traditional credit analysis

In the, assessment of the prospective customer is done based on the "five

C's of credit". They are:

Character- Identifies the moral attribute of the customer

Capacity - The customer's ability to meet credit obligations from the operating

cash flow.

Capital - Financial soundness of the customer

Collaterals- The goods pledged by the customers in the form of security

Conditions - The conditions prevailing in the economy.

Numerical credit scoring

The credit rating obtained under the traditional approach is judgmental in nature and

based on the assigned weights, which are subjective in nature. So, a more systematic

approach known as the numerical credit policy is used. Under this method, the factors for

credit evaluation are identified, and weightage is given to each according to their

importance.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Every enterprise needs inventory for smooth running of its activities. It serves as a link

between production and distribution process. There is, generally a time lag between the

recognition of a need and its fulfillment. The greater the time lag, the higher the

Page 38: A project report on working capital management with special reference to  bagalkot cement industry ltd By Babasab Patil

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT With Special reference to BAGALKOT

CEMENT INDUSTRY LTD”

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

38

requirements for inventory. The unforeseen fluctuations in demand and supply of goods

necessitate the need for inventory. Moreover, it provides a cushion for future price

fluctuations.

Inventory is the list of raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods have

been waiting to be consumed in production or to be sold.

Inventory management involves the control of the current assets, namely raw

materials; work in process and finished goods. The main objective of inventory

management is to minimize the total cost- both direct and indirect, which are associated

with holding the inventories. A reduction in the excessive inventories has a favorable

impact on the company’s profitability.

RATIO ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

The financial statement of a company contains a lot of information about the financial

performance of the company. Financial statements mainly consist of the Balance Sheet

and Profit and Loss Accounts. These statements give the overall picture of the company,

but to analyses each aspect of business extensively, financial ratios are used. The Balance

Sheet and the Statement of Income are essential, but they are only the starting point for

successful financial management. Financial Ratio Analysis derived from Financial

Statements analyses the success, failure, and progress of business.

Ratio Analysis is a very powerful analytical tool useful for measuring the

performance of an organization. The ratio analysis concentrates on the interrelationship

among the figures appearing in the mentioned financial statements. The ratio analysis

helps the management to analyze the past performance of the firm and to make further

projections.

Note: we have used the ratio analysis in this project in order to substantiate the managing

of working capital. For this, we used some of the ratios to get the required output.

Various working capital ratios used by me are as follows:

Liquidity ratios

Turnover/activity ratios

LIQUIDITY RATIOS

The liquidity ratios measure the firm’s ability to meet its short-term (less than one year)

obligations as and when they become due. Liquidity ratios establish a relationship

between cash and other current assets to provide a measure of then liquidity of the

organization.

The corporate liquidity has two dimensions namely, quantitative and qualitative

concepts. The quantitative concept includes the quantum, structure and utilizations of

liquid assets and in qualitative concepts, it is the ability to meet all present and potential

demands on cash from any source in manner that minimizes cost and maximize the value

of the form. Thus corporate liquidity is vital facto in business excess liquidity, through a

generator of solvency would reflect lower profitability, deteriorations in managerial

efficiency increased speculation and unjustified expansion, extension of too liberal credit

and dividend policies. Too little liquidity then may lead to frustrations of business

objections, reduced rate of return, business opportunity missed and weakening of morale.

The important ratios to measure the liquidity of a firm are:

A) Current Ratio

B) Quick/Acid Test Ratio

1) CURRENT ASSETS TO TOTAL ASSETS RATIO = Current Assets /

Total Assets

Interpretation

An increase in the ratio of current assets to total assets will leads to a increase in

profitability and decrease leads to technical solvency. The ratio’s fluctuating like during

the year 2003 it 0.216% and it is increased to 0.249% and it increased to 0.532% and

0.403% in the year 2007 and 2008 and in the last a slight decreased to 0.1867% in 2008

Effect of an increase in this ratio of current liabilities to total assets would be

that profitability is decreased and increased the risk. In the above ratio it is increased

from 0.409% to 0.507% from 2003 to 2004 but increase in the year 2005 up to 1.325%

and in the next year again is increased from 1.981% and decreased the year 2008 from

This ratio is differ from industry to industry. Increase in this ratio means trading is

2005. And again it decreased to 0.20 in the year 2006 but 2008 it increased to 1.83 but it

doesn’t reach the standard ratio, so it is unfavorable to the company.

2 Quick ratio: the quick ratio of the company has been decreased by continuously i .e

0.31 to 0.29 to 0.20 to 0.13 from 2003 to 2006 & in 2008 it is slightly increased by

working capital ratio of the company was 1.61% in 2003 & 2004 also same 1.61 but it

was decreases 0.93 to 0.52 to 0.98 times from 2005- 2008 respectively. In the firm there

is continuous decrease for 5 year. It has decreased in working capital turnover ratio so the

year to year up to 2003 to 2006 but there is slight increased in the year 2008.
