Executive Summary
The project which is under consideration and I have analyzed is the management
policies of BHEL with regard to the working capital Management.
The construction of heavy electrical equipment Plant commenced in Oct.1963after indo-
soviet technical co-operation agreement in Sept.1959
The BHEL is committed to provide safe and healthy working place to employees as an
integral part of business performance through.
The project is based on secondary data, because the management of working capital totally
depends on secondary data.
The Management of Working Capital is refers to difference between the total current assets
and total current liabilities.
Gross Working Capital = Total Current Assets
Net Working Capital = Total Current AssetsTotal Current Liabilities
Current Assets are sum of Sundry Debtors, Bills Receivable, Cash at Bank, Inventory,
Marketable Securities and Parlimary Expenses.
Current Liabilities are sum of Sundry Creditors, Bills Payable, Bank Overdraft and Short-
term loan.
There are 3 steps using in these project report
1. Debtors Management
2. Inventory Management
3. Cash Management

NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE RESEARCH TOPIC WORKING
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Every business needs some amount of working capital. The needs for working capital, arises
due to time gap between production and realization of cash from sales. There is an operating
cycle involved in sales and realization of cash. There are time gaps in purchase of raw
material and production, production and sales, and realization of cash.
Thus, working capital is needed for the following purposes: -
To study the working capital management of the concern so as to analyze and
interpret the inventory position of the BNEL.
To assess the strength and weakness of the concern in various areas.
To assess the overall efficiency and performance of the company.
For the purchase of raw material, component and spares.
To pay wages and salaries.
To incur day- to- day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel, power and office
expenses etc.
To meet the selling costs such as packing, advertising etc.
To provide credit facilities to the customers.
To maintain the inventories of raw material, work in progress, store, spares, and
finished stock

MEANING OF WORKINGCAPITAL
Working Capital is commonly defined as the difference between current assets and
current liabilities. Efficient working capital management requires that firms should operate
with some amount of working capital, the exact amount varying from firm to firm and
depending, among other things on the nature of industry.
Capital required for a business can be classified in two main categories viz.
1) Fixed capital, and
2) Working capital.
Every business needs funds for two purposes-for establishment and to carry out its day-to-day
operations. Long-term funds are required to create production facilities.
Through purchase of fixed assets such as plants and machinery, land, building, furniture, etc.
Investments in these assets represent that part of firms capital which is blocked on
permanent or fixed basis and is called fixed capital. Funds are also needed for short-term
purpose for the purchase of raw material, payment of wages and other day-to-day expenses,
etc. These funds are known working Capital. In simple words, working capital refers to
that part of the firms 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 these cash
flows out again in exchange for other current assets. Hence, it is also known as revolving or
circulating capital or short-term capital.

The term Net Working Capital refers to the excess of current assets over current liabilities, or

which are intended to be paid in the ordinary course of business within a short periodof
normally one accounting year out of the current assets of the income of the business. The
gross working capital concept is financial or going concern concept whereas net working
capital is an accounting concept of working capital. Both the concepts have their own
merits.
The gross concept is sometime preferred to the concept of working capital for the following
reasons: -
It enables the enterprise to provide correct amount of working capital at correct time.
Every managementis more interested in total current assets with which it has to operate
then the sources from where it is made available.
It takes into consideration of the fact every increase in the funds ofthe enterprise would
increase its working capital.
The concept is also useful in determining the rate of return on investments in working
capital.
The net working capital concept, however, is also important for the following reasons:-
It is a qualitative concept, which indicates the firms ability to meet its operating expenses
the short-term liabilities.
It indicates the margin of protection available to short term creditors.
It is an indicator of financial soundness of enterprise.
It suggests the need of financing a part of working capital requirement out of the
permanent sources of funds.
Permanent or Fixed Working Capital: -
Permanent or fixed capital is the minimum amount, which is required to ensure effective
utilization of fixed facilities and for maintaining the circulation of current assets. Every firm

has to maintain a minimum level of current assets is called permanent or fixed working
capital as this part of working capital is permanently blocked in current assets. As the
business, grow the requirement of working capital also increases due to increase in current
assets.
Temporary or Variable Working Capital: -
Temporary or variable working capital is the amount of working capital, which is required to
meet theseasonal demands and some special exigencies. Variable working capital can further
be classified as seasonal working capital and special working capital.The capital required to
meet the seasonal need of the enterprise is called the seasonal working capital. Special
working capital is that part of working capital which is required to meet special exigencies
such as launching of extensive marketing campaign for conducting research etc.
Temporary working capital differs from permanent working capital in the sense that it is
required for short periods and cannot be permanently employed gainfully in business.
Calculate current assets to fixed asset ratio
A firm needs current and fixed assets to support a particular level of output.
However, to support the same level of output the firm can have different levels of current
assets. As the firms output and sales increases, the need for current asset increases.
Generally the current assets do not increase in direct proportion to output; current assets may
increase at a decreasing rate with input. This relationship is based upon the notion that it
takes a greater proportional investment in current assets when only a few units of output are
produced than it does later on when the firm can use its current assets more efficiently.
The level of the current assets can be measured by relating current assets to fixed assets.
There are three policies:-
1) conservative current assets policy:
-
7/30/2019 ARIZ FARZAN BHEEL.docx
46/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 46
CA/FA is higher. It implies greater liquidity and lower risk.
2) aggressive current assets policy:
CA/FA is lower it implies higher risk and poor liquidity.
3) moderate current assets policy:
CA/FA ratio falls in the middle of conservative and aggressive policies.
Estimating working capital needs

47/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 47
1. Liquidity vs. Profitability: Risk Return Trade Off.
The firm would make just enough investment in current assets if it were possible to
estimate working capital needs exactly. Under perfect certainty, current assets holdings
would be at the minimum level. A larger investment in current assets under certainty would
mean a low rate of return of investment for the firm, as excess investment in current assets
will not earn enough return. A small invest in current assets, on the other hand would mean
interrupted production and sales, because of frequent stock-cuts and inability to pay to
creditors in time due to restrictive policy.
As it is not possible to estimate working capital needs accurately, the firm must decide about
levels of current assets to be carried.
2. The Cost Trade Off:
A different way of looking into the risk return trade off is in terms of the cost of
maintaining a particular level of current assets. There are two types of cost involved:-
I. Cost of liquidity
II. Cost of illiquidity
--If the firms level of current assets is very high, it has excessive liquidity. Its return on
assets will be low, as funds tied up in idle cash and stocks earn nothing and high levels of
debtors reduce profitability. Thus, the cost of liquidity increases with the level of current
assets.
-
7/30/2019 ARIZ FARZAN BHEEL.docx
48/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 48
--the cost of illiquidity is the cost of holding insufficient current assets. The firm will not be
in a position to honor its obligations if it carries to little cash. This may force the firm to
borrow at high rates of interests. This will also adversely affect the credit-worthiness of the
firm and it will face difficulties in obtaining funds in the future. All this may force the firm
into insolvency. Similarly, the low levels of stock will result in loss of sales and customers
may shift to competitors. Also, low level of debtors may be due to right credit policy which
would impair sales further. Thus the low level of current assets involves cost that increase as
this level falls.

Policies for financing current assets
The following policies for financing current assets in BHEL, Hardwar:-

The sources of long term financing include ordinary shares capital, preference share capital
debentures, long term borrowings from financial institutions and reserves and surplus. The
BHEL Haridwar manages its long term financing from capital reserve, share premium A/C,
foreign project reserve, bonds redemption reserve and general reserve.

The short term financing is obtained for a period less than one year. It is arranged in advance
from banks and other suppliers of short term finance include working capital funds from
banks, public deposits, commercial paper, factoring of receivables etc.
The BHEL, Haridwar manages secured loans as:-

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 51
SPONTANEOUS FINANCING:-
Spontaneous financing refers to the automatic sources of short term funds arising in the
normal course of a business. Trade Credit and outstanding expenses are examples of
spontaneous financing.
A firm is expected to utilize these sources of finances to the fullest extent. The real choice of
financing current assets, once the spontaneous sources of financing have been fully utilized,
is between the long term and short term sources of finances.
What should be the mix of short and long term sources in financing current assets?
Depending on the mix of short and long term financing, the approach followed by a company
may be referred to as:
1. matching approach
2. conservative approach
3. aggressive approach
Matching approach
The firm can adopt a financial plan which matches the expected life of assets with the
expected life of the source of funds raised to finance assets. Thus, a ten year loan may be
raised to finance a plant with an expected life of ten year; stock of goods to be sold in thirty
days may be financed with a thirty day commercial paper or a bank loan. The justification for
the exact matching is that, since the purpose of financing is to pay for assets, the source of
financing and the asset should be relinquished simultaneously. Using long term financing for
short term assets is expensive as funds will not be utilized for the full period. Similarly,
-
7/30/2019 ARIZ FARZAN BHEEL.docx
52/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 52
financing long term assets with short term financing is costly as well as inconvenient as
arrangement for the new short term financing will have to be made on a continuing basis.
When the firm follows matching approach (also known as hedging approach) long
term financing will be used to finance fixed assets and permanent current assets and short
term financing to finance temporary or variable current assets. How ever, it should be
realized that exact matching is not possible because of the uncertainty about the expected
lives of assets.
The firm fixed assets and permanent current assets are financed with long term funds and as
the level of these assets in increases, the long term financing level also increases. The
temporary or variable current assets are financed with short term funds and as their level
increases, the level of short term financing also increases. Under matching plan, no short term
financing will be used if the firm has a fixed current assets need only.

7/30/2019 ARIZ FARZAN BHEEL.docx
53/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 53
Conservative approach
A firm in practice may adopt a conservative approach in financing its current and
fixed assets. The financing policy of the firm is said to be conservative when it depends more
on long term funds for financing needs. Under a conservative plan, the firm finances its
permanent assets and also a part of temporary current assets with long term financing. In the
period when the firm has no need for temporary current assets, the idle long term funds can
be invested in the tradable securities to conserve liquidity. The conservative plan relies
heavily on long term financing and, therefore, the firm has less risk of facing the problem of
shortage of funds. The conservative financing policy is shown below. Note that when the firm
has no temporary current assets, the long term funds released can be invested in marketable
securities to build up the liquidity position of the firm.

54/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 54
Aggressive Approach
A firm may be aggressive in financing its assets. An aggressive policy is said to be
followed by the firm when it uses more short term financing than warranted by the matching
plan. Under an aggressive policy, the firm finances a part of its permanent current assets with
short term financing. Some extremely aggressive firms may even finance a part of their fixed
assets with short term financing. The relatively more use of short term financing makes the
firm more risky. The aggressive financing is illustrated in fig below.

Importance of working capital
1. Time devoted to working capital management:-
The largest portion of financial manager's time is devoted to day to day internal operation the
firm. This may be appropriately sum up under the heading "WORKING CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT".
2. Investment in current assets:-
Current assets represent more than half of the total assets of a business firm. Because they
represent largest investment and because this investment tends to relatively volatile, current
assets are worthy for the financial manager's careful attention.
3. Importance for small firm:-
Current assets are similarly important for the financial manager's of small firm. Further small
firm are relatively limited access to the long term markets, it must necessarily rely on the
trade credit and short term bank loan, both of net effect on net working capital by increased
current liabilities.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 56
FACTORS DETERMINING THE WORKING CAPITAL REQUIRMENT
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS :-
The requirement of working capital is very limited in public utility undertaking such as
Electricity, Water Supply and Railways because they offer cash sales only and supply
services not products and no funds are tied up in inventories and receivables. On the other
hand, the trading and financial firm requires less investment in fixed assets but have to invest
large amounts in current assets. The manufacturing undertaking requires sizable amount of
working capital along with fixed investments.
2. PRODUCTION POLICY :-
The determination of working capital needs depends upon the production policy of the
business. The demand for certain products is seasonal i.e.; such products are purchased in
certain months of a year. For such industries, two types of production policy can be
followed. Firstly they can produce the goods in the months of demand or secondly, they
produce for the whole year. If the second alternative were followed, it would mean that until
the time of demand finishes, product would have to be kept in stock. It would require
additional working capital.
3. LENGTH OF PRODUCTION CYCLE:-
The longer the manufacturing time, the raw material and other supplies have to be carried for
a longer time in the process with progressive increment of labor and service costs before the
final product is obtained. Therefore, working capital is directly proportional to the length of
the manufacturing process.

57/113
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 57
4. RATE OF STOCK TURNOVER:-
There is an inverse co-relationship between the quantum of working capital and the velocity
or speed with which the sales are affected. A firm having a higher rate of stock turnover will
need lower amount of working capital as compared to a firm having a low rate of turnover.
5. CREDIT POLICY:-
Credit policy affects the working capital requirements in two ways:
(a) Terms of credit allowed by customer to the firm,
(b) Terms of credit available to the firm.
A concern that purchases its requirements on credit and sells its product/services on
cash requires lesser amount of working capital and vice-versa.
6. WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE :-
The speed with which the working cycle completes one cycle determines the requirements of
working capital. Longer the cycle larger is the requirement of working capital.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 58
Each component of working capital (namely inventory, receivables and payables) has two
dimensions ........TIME .........and MONEY. When it comes to managing working capital -
TIME IS MONEY. If you can get money to move faster around the cycle (e.g. collect
monies due from debtors more quickly) or reduce the amount of money tied up (e.g. reduce
inventory levels relative to sales), the business will generate more cash or it will need to
borrow less money to fund working capital. As a consequence, you could reduce the cost of

7. RATE OF GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF BUSINESS: -
The larger size businesses require more permanent and variable working capital in
comparison to small business. If a company is growing, its working capital requirements will
also go on increasing. Thus, the growing concerns require more working capital as compared
to the stable industries.
8. SEASONAL VARIATION: -
Generally, during the busy season, a firm requires larger working capital than in the slack
season.
9. BUSINESS FLUCTUATION: -
In period of boom, when the business is prosperous, there is a need for larger amount of
working capital due to rise in sales, rise in prices, optimistic expansion of business etc. On
the contrary in time of depression, the business contracts, sales decline, difficulties are faced
in collection from debtors and the firm may have a large amount of working capital idle.
10. EARNING CAPACITY AND DIVIND POLICY:-
Some firms have more earning capacity than other due to quality of their products, monopoly
conditions, etc. Such firms may generate cash profits from operations and contribute to their
working capital. The dividend policy also effects the requirement of working capital. A firm
maintaining a steady high rate of cash dividend irrespective of its profit needs more working
capital than the firms that retain larger part of its profits and does not pay so high rate of cash
dividend.

11. PRICE LEVEL CHANGES: -
Price level changes also affect working capital needs. If the prices of different goods increase,
to maintain same level of production, more working capital is needed.
12. AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIAL: -
Availability of raw material on the continuous basis affects the requirement of working
capital. There are certain types of raw materials, which are not available regularly. In such a
situation firm requires greater working capital to meet the requirements of production. Some
raw materials are available in particular season only for example wool, cotton, oil seeds, etc.
They have to keep greater working capital.
13. MAGNITUDE OF PROFIT:-
Magnitude of profit is different for different businesses. Nature of product, control on the
market and ability of managers etc. determine the quantum of profit. If the profit margin is
high, it will help to arrange funds internally, which will also increase the working capital.
14. OTHER FACTOR: -
Operating efficiency
a) Management ability
b) Irregularities of supply
c) Import policy
d) Asset structure
e) Importance of labor

MANAGEMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL
Management of working capital means management of all aspects of current assets and
current liabilities. Basically, Working capital management is concerned with the
problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets, current liabilities and
the inter relationship that exist between them.
Financial management should determine the quantum and structure of current assets. It
should also see that current assets are financed from the proper sources. Management should
also see that current liabilities are paid in time, while managing the working capital.
The main objective of working capital management is to manage current assets and current
liabilities in a manner so that working capital can be kept in a satisfactory level. It is also
taken in to account that the working capital should be neither excessive nor inadequate. The
amount of current assets should be adequate to pay the current liabilities in time and adequate
security margin can be maintained. Accordingly, proper balance among the different
constituents of current assets is maintained so that no current has more than require amount
invested in it.
Management of working capital affects profitability, risk and liquidity of the business
significantly. Management should, therefore, maintain proper balance among these factors
while managing working capital. If the quantum of working capital is more, it will increase
liquidity, but decrease profitability and risk. If working capital relatively declines, it will
decrease liquidity but cause an increase in profitability and risk. If business wants to earn
more profit, it will have to bear higher risk. Risk means inability of the firm to pay current
liabilities in time.

Focusing on liquidity management
Net working capital is a qualitative concept. It indicates the liquidity position of the firm and
suggests the extent to which working capital needs may be financed by permanent sources of
funds. Current assets should be sufficiently in excess of current liabilities to constitute a
margin or buffer for maturing obligations within the ordinary operating cycle of a business.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 65
In order to protect their interests, short-term creditors always like a company to maintain
current assets at a higher level than current liabilities. It is a conventional rule to maintain the
level of current assets twice the level of current liabilities. However, the quality of current
assets should be considered in determining the level of current assets vis--vis current
liabilities. A weak liquidity position poses a threat to the solvency of the company and makes
it unsafe and unsound. A negative working capital means a negative liquidity and may prove
to be harmful for the companys reputation. Excessive liquidity is also bad. It may be due to
mismanagement of current assets. Therefore prompt and timely action should be taken by
management to improve and correct imbalances in the liquidity position of the firm.
Net working capital concept also covers the question of judicious mix of long-tar and short-
term funds for financing current assets. For every firm there is a minimum amount of net
working capital which is permanent. Therefore a portion of the working capital should be
financed with the permanent sources of funds such as equity, share capital, debentures, long-
term debt, preference share capital or retained earnings. Management must decide the extent
to which current assets should be financed with equity capital or borrowed capital.
Balanced working capital position
The firm should maintain a sound working capital position it should have adequate
working capital to run its business operations. Both excessive and inadequate working capital
positions are dangerous from the firms point of view. Excessive working capital means
holding costs and idle funds which earn no profits for the firm paucity of working capital not
only impairs the firms profitability but also results in production interruptions and
inefficiencies and sales disruptions.

The dangers of excessive working capital are as follows:
1. It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventories thus chances of inventory
mishandling, waste, theft and losses increase.
2. It is an indication of defective credit policy and slack collection period. Consequently,
higher incidence of bad debts results, which adversely affects profits.
3. Excessive working capital makes management complacent which degenerates into
managerial inefficiency.
4. Tendencies of accumulating inventories tend to make speculative profits grow. This
may tend to make dividend policy liberal and difficult to cope with in future when the firm is
unable to make speculative profits.
Inadequate working capital is also bad and has the following dangers:
1. It stagnates growth. It becomes difficult for the firm to undertake profitable project for
non-availability of working capital funds.
2. It becomes difficult to implement operating plans and achieve the firms profit target.
3. Operating inefficiencies creep in when it becomes difficult even to meet day to day
commitments.
4. Fixed are not efficiently utilized for the lack ofworking capital funds. Thus the firms
profitability would deteriorate.
5. paucity of working capital funds render the firm unable to avail attractive credit
opportunities etc,
6. The firm loses its reputation when it is not in a position to honor its short term
obligations as a result the firm faces tight credit terms.

An enlightened management should, therefore, maintain the right amount of working
capital on the continuous basis. Only then a proper functioning of business operations will be
ensured. Sound financial and statistical techniques, supported by judgment, should be used to
predict the quantum of working capital needed at different time periods.
A firms net working capital position is not only important as an index of liquidity but it is
also used as a measure of the firms risk. In this regard means chances of the firm being
unable to meet its obligations on due date. The lender considers a positive networking gas a
measure of safety. All other things being equal, the more the networking capital a firm has,
the less likely that it will default in meeting its current financial obligations. Lenders such as
commercial banks insist that the firm should maintain a minimum net working capital
position.

Interpretation: -
If we see from the above table, it can be clearly seen that net working capital has
continuously come down to 13446 Lacs in 2008-09 from 50463Lacs in 2004-05.But in 2007-
08 it is increased but it is good for the company because of its turnover is also increased.
Moreover if we compare no. of days of net working capital to turnover, it has also comes
down to 99 days from 256 day in previous years.
This improvement does not come accidentally but considerable measures have been taken to
control working capital in organization. There is direct relation of working capital

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 71
It is very difficult for the organization to sell always on cash basis in todays competitive
market. In almost every business, we have to sell on credit basis.
The basic objective of management of sundry debtor is to optimize the return on investment
on this asset. It is obvious that if there are large amounts tied up in sundry debtors, working
capital requirement would be high and consequently interest charges will be high. In such
cases, the bad debts and cost of collection of debts would be high. On the other hand if the
credit policy is very tight, investment in sundry debtors is low but the sale may be restricted,
since the competitors may offer more liberal credit term.
We have limited resources and therefore every resource has its own opportunity cost.
Therefore, the management of sundry debtors is an important issue and requires proper
policies and efficient execution of such policies.
Debtors and cost of debtors have direct relation; cost will increase due to increase in debtors
and vice versa. It depends on the credit sale of concern and credit period (collection period)
allowed to customer. It is in interest of customer to pay as late as possible, and company
whom made sales, would like to collect their debtor as early as possible. There is a conflict
between the two aspects.
Debtor management is the process of finding the equilibrium at which company agrees to
receive its payment without hampering or having any adverse effect on its sales and customer
agree to pay at their economical buying concept.
Sundry debtor level depends on two measure issues: -

One is volume of credit sales and another is credit period allowed to customer. It is the
essence of every business that to sale on credit and allow credit period to the customer in
such a competitive market, following factors may be considered before allowing credit period
to the customer: -
Nature of the product
Credit worthiness of the customer, which varies from customer to customer.
Quantum of advance received from customers
Credit policy of company, say number of days allowed to customer for payment to the
customers.
Cost of debtors
Manufacturing cycle time of the product etc.

There are mainly three aspects of Management of Debtors
1. Credit Policy: -
The credit policy is to determine. It involves a trade off between the profits on additional sale
that arises due to credit being extended on one hand and the cost of carrying those debtors
and bad debts losses on the other.
2. Credit Analysis:-
This requires determining as how risky is to advance credit to a particular customer.
3. Control of Receivables: -
This requires to the firm to follow up debtors and decide about a suitable credit collection
policy. It involves both lying down of credit policy and execution of such policies.
There is a cost of maintaining receivables, which comprises Cost of: -
