Current Assets� Current Assets are the assets which can be converted into cash
within an accounting year (or operating cycle) and include cash,short-term securities, debtors, (accounts receivable or bookdebts) bills receivable and stock (inventory).
CURRENT ASSETS constitute the following:
� Inventories: Inventories represent raw materials and components, work-in-
progress and finished goods.� Trade Debtors: Trade Debtors comprise credit sales to customers.
� Prepaid Expenses: These are those expenses, which have been paid for goodsand services whose benefits have yet to be received.
� Loan and Advances: They represent loans and advances given by the firm toother firms for a short period of time.
� Investment: These assets comprise short-term surplus funds invested ingovernment securities, shares and short-terms bonds.
� Cash and Bank Balance: These assets represent cash in hand and at bank,which are used for meeting operational requirements. One thing you can seehere is that this current asset is purely liquid but non-productive.

Concepts of Working Capital
�
Gross working capital (GWC) GWC refers to the firms total investment in current
assets.
� GWC focuses on
± Optimization of investment in current
± Financing of current assets

� The planning should be done keeping in mind two dangerpoints i.e. excessive and inadequate investment in currentassets. Investment in current assets needs to be adequate
as it affects the profitability, solvency and liquidity. Why thisissue comes up because it ultimately affects the objectivesof financial management.
Danger points to be kept in mind while planning
� 1. Excessive investment
± It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventories. Thus,chances of inventory mishandling, waste, theft & lossesincrease.
± It is an indication of defective credit policy & slack collectionperiod.
± ExcessiveWC makes management complacent, whichdegenerates into managerial inefficiency.
± Tendencies of accumulating inventories tend to makespeculative profits grow.

� 2. Inadequate investment
± It stagnates growth.
±It become difficult to implement operating plansand achieve the firms operating profit target.
± Operating inefficiencies creep in when it becomesdifficult even to meet day-to-day commitments.
± Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized for the lackof working capital funds. Thus, the firmsprofitability would deteriorate.
± Paucity of WC funds render the firm unable to
avail attractive credit opportunities. ± The firm loses its reputation when it is not in a
position to honour its short-term obligations.

Net working capital (NWC)
� NWC refers to the difference between current
assets and current liabilities.
� NWC focuses on
± Liquidity position of the firm
±Judicious mix of short-term and long-tern financing
� NWC can be positive or negative. ± Positive NWC = C A > C L
± Negative NWC = C A < C L

Operating Cycle
� Operating cycle is the time duration required to convert sales,
after the conversion of resources into inventories, into cash.
The operating cycle of a manufacturing company involves
three phases:
± Acquisition of resources such as raw material, labour, power and fuel
etc.
± Manuf acture of the product which includes conversion of raw
material into work-in-progress into finished goods.
± Sal e of the product either for cash or on credit. Credit sales createaccount receivable for collection.

Cont
� The length of the operating cycle of amanufacturing firm is the sum of:
± Inventory conversion period (ICP).
±Debtors (receivable) conversion period (DCP).

Gross Operating Cycle (GOC)
� The firms gross operating cycle (GOC) can be
determined as inventory conversion period
(ICP) plus debtors conversion period (DCP).
Thus, GOC is given as follows:

Inventory conversion period
� Inventory conversion period is the total
time needed for producing and selling the
product. Typically, it includes:
± raw material conversion period (RMCP)
± work-in-process conversion period (WIPCP)
± finished goods conversion period (FGCP)

Debtors (receivables) conversion period
(DCP)
� Debtors conversion period (DCP) is the
average time taken to convert debtors into
cash. DCP represents the average collection
period. It is calculated as follows:

Matching Approach
24
F inancing under matching plan
A firm can meet its financing needs by using a matching approach in which
the maturity structure of the firms liabilities is made to correspond exactlyto the life of its assets. If you refer to the above diagram, the fixed working
capital is financed with the long-term capital& equity funds, whereas
fluctuating current assets are financed with short-term debt.

Conservative Approach
25
C onserv ative financing
A firm in practice may adopt a conservative approach in financing its
working capital where it depends on more of long-term funds. As you
can see in the diagram, the firm is financing its fixed /permanent
working capital and also a part of its fluctuating working capital withlong-term financing. Only a small portion is being financed through
short-term financing.

Aggressive Approach
26
Aggressive financing
W
hen a firm uses more of short-term sources for financing working capital;it is said to be followed aggressive policy. As it can be seen from the
diagram, the fixed working capital and a portion of fluctuating working
capital is finance by short-term funds. Only a small portion of fluctuating
working capital is being financed by short-term funds.
