The Working Capital Decision

With the working capital decision, current assets and currentliabilities become the focus of the financial manager.

Such items as cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory

levels and short-term accruals (such as prepaid rent orutilities) are included among the short-term assets thatcomprise one component of working capital.

Also with the working capital decision, we concern ourselveswith short-term obligations such as accounts payable tovendors, and other debt that is expected to be paid off withinone year.


15/23

Working capital management involves financing and

controlling the current assets of the firm.

Management must distinguish between those current

assets that are easily converted to cash and those that

are more permanent.

The financing of an asset should be tied to how long

the asset is likely to be on the balance sheet.

Asset Decisions:

Asset Decisions:

Long-term financing is usually more expensive than

short-term financing based on the theory of the term

structure of interest rates.

Risk, as well as profitability, determines the financing

plan for current assets.

Investment decision:

it determines the total amount of asset needed by a firm hence

closely tied to the allocation of funds, we have two types

of investment decision which is capital investment and working

capital investment.

F

inancial decision: Financial manager needs to decide on how to finance

the assets the source of funds examples whether to

borrow debts or share capital or retained earnings,

whether to borrow short, medium or long term, the

needs to determine how much dividend to pay out as

this will directly affect the financial decision.


21/23

Asset management decision:

once asset has been purchased and appropriate

financing are secured it now involves the efficient and

effective management of current asset like cash

inventories and so on.

i-e examples of assets management is extension of

credit terms to increase sales and to hold more stocks or

on a longer term.

Comparison of Assets and Liabilities

Current assets and current liabilities should be compared overperiods of time. It is good if the current assets have increasedsignificantly over longer periods of time. This means that thecompany generates cash. On the other hand, it can be alsointerpreted as the company not being able to collect the money

it has to take from its accounts receivable.If the currentliabilities of the company are growing at a fast pace, then there

might be some problem with the company. However, this is notalways bad since the company may incur higher liabilities sinceit needs money to finance some of its goals.

Finally, you should carefully study these indicators of the targetcompany in order to determine its future potentials. You can

quickly and easily obtain this information from financialstatements.
