CHAPTER-I
1.1INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY1.1.1 WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
One of the important areas in the day to-day management of a firm is the
management of working capital which meets the short term financial requirements of a
business enterprise The need for maintaining adequate working capital can hardly be over
emphasized or questioned. Working capital may be regarded as the blood of business life, the
flow of which is necessary to maintain business. If becomes weak, the business can hardly
prosper or survive. By maintaining an adequate amount of working capital, the concern is
able to maintain sound credit, avoid insolvency, take advantage of cash discount facilities
offered by suppliers and bargain profitably in any transactions and innovations. The
inadequacy or mismanagement of working capital is the leading cause of business failure
In practice, a firm has to employ short-term assets and short-term sources of finances
in addition to fixed assets and long-term sources of finance. The management of such short-
term assets is described as, working capital or current assets. It is one of the most important
assets of the overall financial management. The problem involved in the management ofworking capital differs from those of fixed assets. An important feature of management of
short-term assets is he question of profitability versus liquidity and the related aspects as risk,
If the size of such asses is large the liquidity position would improve but profitability would
adversely affect as funds will remain idle. Conversely, if the holding of such assets is
relatively small, the overall profitability will no doubt increase but it will have an advance
effect on the liquidity position and make the firms more risky. The risk return trade off
involved in holding more current assets therefore is one of added liquidity verses
profitability. Working capital management should, therefore, aim at striing a balance such
there is an optimum amount of short-term assets.
Working capital comprises short-term net assets ; stock, debtors, and cash, less
creditors. Working capital management is to do with management of all aspects of both

current assets and current liabilities, so as to minimize the risk of insolvency while
maximizing return on assets.
Working capital management is an integral part of over all corporate management. It
is significant facet of financial management. Its importance stems from the fact the
investment in current assets represents as substantial portion of total investment. Some 30 to
60 percent of a firms total assets are tied up in current assets. It is found tha t the private and
public sector enterprises. Working capital, as a proportion of capital employed. Shares almost
equal honors with fixed capital. This fact revealed by the Reserve Bank of India as prime
object of making profit in industrial enterprises must depend on the manner in which they
administer their working capital.
The importance of working capital management is also reflected in the fact the
financial Managers spend a great deal of time in managing current assets and current
liabilities. Changes in the firms operations can have almost immediate effects on the
working capital needed. Example if the supplier increases the price of raw material, more
money will be tied up in inventories. Even if the firm can increase the price for its final
products it will need additional working capital to support its sales efforts. An alert financial
manager will estimate the level of working capital required for future periods once the needs
have been estimated. The manager must acquire the necessary funds from the best source at
the lowest cost and for the time period involved. All these consume a great dealof time of
finance management and according to John J.Hampton , a great financial expert, somewhere
between one third and two thirds of the financial managers time is spent managing the
working capital management is an important duty of a financial manager and is worked upon
as his driving seat.
Even profitable companies fail if they have inadequate cash flow. Liabilities are
settled with cash and not profits. The primary objective of working capital management is to
ensure that sufficient cash and not profits. The Primary objective of working capital
management is to ensure that sufficient cash is available to :

1.1.2.DRAWBACKS OF INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL
Stagnating growth, it becomes difficult for the firm to undertake profitable projects
because of non-availability of working capital funds. It becomes difficult to implement
operating plans and achieve the firms profit target. Operating inefficiencies creep in and it
becomes difficult even to meet day today commitments.
Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized because of the lack of working capital funds.
Thus the firms profitability would slowly deteriorate.
Paucity of working capital funds renders the firms inability to avail attractive credit
opportunities, etc.
The firm loses its reputation when it is not in a position to honour its short-term
obligations. As a result the firm faces tight credit terms.
An enlightened management should therefore, maintain a right amount of working
capital on a continuous basis. Only then a proper functioning of business operations will be
insured.
1.1.3.CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL
In the modern business scenario, working capital is considered to be an important function in

demand position. The cement industry is one of the main beneficiaries of the infrastructure
boom. With robust demand and adequate supply, the industry has bright future. The IndianCement industry with total capacity of 168 million tones is the second largest after China.
Cement industry is dominated by 20 companies who account for over 70% of the market.
Individually no company accounts for over 12% of the market. The major players like L&T
and ACC have been quiet successful in narrowing the gap between demand and supply.
Private housing sector is the major consumer of cement (53%) followed by the government
infrastructure sector. Similarly northern and southern region consume around 20%-30%
cement while the central and western region are consuming only 18%-16%.
The all India clinker production picked up further by 6.5% to 129.70 million tones as
compared to 121.75 million tones during the previous year. The overall production of cement
in the country for the year ended march 2008 was up at 168.31 million tones as against
155.66 million tones in the previous year registering a growth of 8.1%. The domestic
consumption of cement grew further by 9.8% over and above the double digit growth
recorded in the previous two financial years and was at 164.02 million tones as compared to
149.40 million tones as against 5.89 million tones in the previous year due to buoyant
domestic market. The clinker exports were also lower at 2.37 million tones as compared to
3.10 million tones in the previous year.
India is the second largest cement producer in world after China. Right from laying
concrete bricks of economy to waving fly overs cement industry has shown and shows a
great future. The industry looks healthy and promising and shows significant growth on the

Mass concrete pours such as in dams etc. Highly suited for plastering and finishing works because of it's high fineness
Sulphate Resisting Portland cement (SRC)
Sankar SRC can be used for structural concrete wherever OPC or PPC or Slag
Cement is usable under normal conditions. Sankar SRC is particularly beneficial in such
conditions where the concrete is exposed to the risk of deterioration due to sulphate attack.
For example, in contact with soils and ground waters containing excessive amounts of
sulphates as well as for concrete in seawater or exposed directly to seacoast. The IS 456 1978
(revised draft code) has made elaborate provisions for use of particular type of cement against
different percentages of soluble sulphate salts
The use of SRC is recommended for following applications:
Foundations, piles Basements and underground structures Sewage and Water treatment plants Chemical, Fertilizers and Sugar factories Food processing industries and Petrochemical projects Coastal works Also for normal construction works where OPC is used.

meant a substantial increase of Rs.65 crores in fuel costs.
The average increase in Excise Duty which was revised from 1st March 2007 had an
additional outgo of Rs.122 crores during the year.
Introduction of terminal charges, development charges and busy season surcharges by
Railways had an impact of Rs.19 crores.
The increase in the prices of domestic coal and increased dependence on e -auction/ open
market coal due to restricted supply by domestic coal companies had an additional charge of
Rs.12 crores.
With the mandatory provisioning for Accounting Standards 15 issued by ICAI, the

1.5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The management of working capital has added significance in respect of large-
scale industries. In cement industry the working capital management has an important role in
growth of the firm.
In india cement a major of working capital is locked up in the inventories i.e.
stores, spares, raw materials, loans & advances. When sophisticated machines are used in the
operations, it may cause a heavy loss. Therefore continuous supply of materials and adequate
flow of fund are inevitable. Moreover, the need for cement is much throughout the year and
they should be able to satisfy the needy. For this purpose the company must invest adequate
amount on its inventories.
Keeping above mind, the researcher has developed a personal interest to examine the working
capital management of India Cement ltd,. Sanker Nagar Tirunelveli. One of leading cement
company in India.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Every business need some amount of working capital. The need of working capital
arises due to the time gap between production and realization of cash. There are time gap
between or in purchase of Raw material and production, and sales and sales realization of
cash. Thus working capital is needed for the purchase of Raw material, components spore
points to pay wages, and salaries, to incur day to day expenses overhead cost such as fuel
power and office. Etc.
The study is an assessment of relationship between working capital and profitability
of INDIA CEMENT LTD.,Sankar nagar over a period of 5 Yrs. starting from 2007-08 to
2010-2011. Analysis of working capital provides guidelines to the management to make
sensible decision regarding the future by the management.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Eljelly( 2004) Elucidated that efficient liquidity management involves planning and
controlling current assets and current liabilities in such a manner that eliminates the risk of
inability to meet due short-term obligations and avoids excessive investment in these assets.
The relation between profitability and liquidity was examined, as measured by current ratio
and cash gap (cash conversion cycle) . The study found that the cash conversion cycle was of
more importance as a measure of liquidity than the current ratio that affects profitability. The
size variable was found to have significant effect on profitability at the industry level. The
results were stable and had important implications for liquidity management in various
companies. First, it was clear that there was a negative relationship between profitability and
liquidity indicators such as current ratio , Quick ratio and ABSLR, Gross profit ratio, net
profit ratio etc
Deloof( 2003) Discussed that most firms had a large amount of cash invested in
working capital. It can therefore be expected that the way in which working capital ismanaged will have a significant impact on profitability of those firms. Using correlation and
regression tests he found a significant negative relationship between gross operating income
and the number of days accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable . On basis of
these results he suggested that managers could create value for their shareholders by reducing
the number of days accounts receivable and inventories to a reasonable minimum. The
negative relationship between accounts payable and profitability is consistent with the view
that less profitable firms wait longer to pay their bills.
Ghosh and Maji(2003)For measuring the efficiency of working capital management,
performance, utilization, and overall efficiency indices were calculated instead of using some
common working capital management ratios. Setting industry norms as target-efficiency
levels of the individual firms, this paper also tested the speed of achieving that target level of
efficiency by an individual firm during the period of study.

Smith and Begemann(1997) Emphasized that those who promoted working capital
theory shared that profitability and liquidity comprised the salient goals of working capital
management. The problem arose because the maximization of the firm's returns could
seriously threaten its liquidity, and the pursuit of liquidity had a tendency to dilute returns.
This article evaluated the association between traditional and alternative working capital
measures and return on investment (ROI)
The problem under investigation was to establish whether the more recently developed
alternative working capital concepts showed improved association with return on investment
to that of traditional working capital ratios or not. Results indicated that there were no
significant differences amongst the years with respect to the independent variables. The
results of their stepwise regression corroborated that total current liabilities divided by funds
flow accounted for most of the variability in Return on Investment (ROI). The statistical test
results showed that a traditional working capital leverage ratio, current liabilities divided by
funds flow, displayed the greatest associations with return on investment. Well- known
liquidity concepts such as the current and quick ratios registered insignificant.
Nayan chetia(2006) Working capital management deals with the minimum amount of
resources required by a company to cover the common costs and expenses. It is very crucial
for any company because the inability on the part of a company in maintaining efficient
working capital would have bearing on the profitability of the company. A company which is
incapable of maintaining a satisfactory of level of working capital is likely to become
insolvent and may even be forced into bankruptcy. The industry with high fixed costs
requires very little working capital. Taking into consideration this fact, the case deals with the
variations in the working capital requirements of bothe the companies and analyses the
factors that influence the quantum and frequency of working capital requirements.

Pedagogical Objectives:
To discuss the concept of working capital management taking into consideration industry
wise factors
To discuss and debate why two companies operating in the same industy have different levels
of working capital requirements.
S.C. Bardia(2002) The general state of liquidity in this sector in recent past
particularly after the sharp decline in the interest rates has tended to be reasonably good in
India. However, many companies both in public and private sector irrespective of their size,
age or product range have been experiencing difficulties in meeting their short term
liabilities. Liquidity and profitability are two important and vital aspects of corporate
business life. No firm not making profit may be considered as sick but, one having no
liquidity is a pre-requisite for the very survival of business firm. Liquidity management has
thus, become a basic and broad aspect of judging the performance of a corporate entity.
Amy sonpal & dr. a. v. vedpuriswar (2006) The basic objectives of this study are:
To examine and compare the effectiveness of working capital management of a company in
this industry. To study the liquidity and management of short term finances of this company
so that the specific problems and deficiencies faced in the management of different
components of working capital can be identified.
To get accustomed with the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) which is so successfully
implemented in the organization.
J.ravi prakash (2008)There are a number of functions that have assumed
significance in this sector. With rapid globalization, this complexity is likely to accelerate in
the future. Hence the relentless pace of liberalization and integration of the Indian financial
markets with the global markets has lead to study of WORKING CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT and has made it quite significant in the modern world. The primary
objective of the project is to study and understand WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
with reference to Rubco. The findings include that the various components of Working
Capital Management require differentiated treatment and hence it is recommended that each
component should be treated according to its merit and peculates. The findings include that
the various components of Working Capital Management require differentiated treatment and
hence it is recommended that each component should be treated.

3.5 Limitation of the Study
Every study has its own limitations and this study is also not an exception for this.
The study is based on the companys annual report and directors report hence it is only a
postmortem of the financial statements.
The period of the study is limited to 5 Yrs (i.e.) 2007-08 to 2010-2011.
The value of inventory is based on the book value. It does not consider the effect of
inflation, obsolescence, etc and this causes the value to increase or decrease.
Mainly secondary data were used. Limitation of secondary data too high
3.6 Significance of the Study
Working capital management is one of the most important areas in the day-to-day
management of a firm. Working capital management is concerned with the problems that
arise in attempting to manage the current assets, current liabilities and the interrelationship
that exists between them.
The goal of working management is to manage the current assets and the current
liabilities in such a way that a satisfactorily level of working capital is maintained. The study
of working capital management cement Industry has a great significance.

CHAPTER- IV
4. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
In order to extract a meaningful inference from data collected, the data analysis and
interpretation is carried out. This analysis is basically aimed at ginning inference association
of difference between the various variables present in the research. The analysis is conducted
by using simple tools like ratio analysis and schedule of changes in working capital of INDIA
CEMENT LTD,.
4.1 RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as the
indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions and as the relationship between two or
more things. In financial analysis, a ratio is used as a benchmark for evaluating the financial
position and performance of the firm. Ratio helps to summarize large quantities of financial
data and to make qualitative judgment about the firms financial performance.
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the
systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements. The information contained in this
statement is used by management, creditors, investors and others to form judgment about the
operating performance and financial position of the firms. This is the process of identifying
strength and weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of
the balance sheet and the profit and loss account.

4.2 COMPARATIVE BALANCESHEET
The comparative balance sheet analysis is the study of the trend of the same items,
group of items and computed items in two or more balance sheets of the same business
enterprise on different dates. The changes in periodic balance sheet items reflect the conduct
of a business. The changes can be observed by comparison of the balance sheet at the
beginning and at the end of the period and these changes can help in forming an opinion
about the progress of an enterprise.
A comparative balance sheet has two columns to records the figures of the current year
and the previous year. A third column is used to show the decrease or increase in figures. A
fourth column may be added to giving percentage of increase or decrease .in the balance
sheet the emphasis is on status in the comparative balance sheet it is on change. Comparative
balance sheet indicates whether the business is moving in a favorable or unfavorable
direction. the comparative balance sheet show the assets, liabilities and owners equity of
business enterprise at the beginning and at the end of the accounting period with increase and
decrease in the absolute data in terms of rupees and percentage .the single balance sheet focus
on the financial status of the firm as on a particular date ,while the comparative balance sheet
focuses on the changes that have taken place in one accounting period .The changes in the
balance sheet items are the result of acquisition or sale of asset ,change in current asset and

4.3 STATEMENT OF SCHEDULE CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL
Statement of changes in working capital follows the statement of sources and
applications of funds. The primary purpose of this statement is to explain the net changes in
working capital as arrived in fund flow statements. All current assets and current liabilities
are individually listed in this statement, and against each account, the figure pertaining to that
account at the beginning and at the end of the accounting period is shown. The net change in
its position is also added up to equal net change in working capital.
Statement showing changes in working capital is an important tool to study the
changes in working capital of the concern and can also throw light on cause for these
changes. Working capital means the excess of current asset over current liabilities. Statement
of changes in working capital is prepared to show the changes in the working capital between
the two balance sheet dates. This statement is prepared with the help of current assets and
current liabilities derived from the two balance sheets.
As, Working Capital= Current Assets - Current Liabilities. So,
i. An increase in Current Assets increases Working Capital.
ii. A decrease in current assets decreases, working capital.
iii. An increase in current liabilities decreases working capital, and
iv. A decrease in current liabilities increases working capital.
In case a current asset in the current period is more than in the previous period, the effect is
an increase in working capital and it is recorded in the increase column. But if a current
liability in the current period is more than in the previous period, the effect is decrease inworking capital and it is recorded in the decrease column or vice versa.

SUGGESTIONS
Cash position of INDIA CEMENT LTD should be increased in order to meet itscurrent liability.
Realization of debtors is very important to keep working capital in a constant level.Therefore steps should be taken to improve the realization process.
The company should review the marketing policies and sales strategies for increasingsales turn over without much outflow of discounts. There are dealers and also sub-dealers for the sale of phenol and acetone. In order to reduce the sub dealers, the
marketing offices located in Mumbai and New Delhi are to be strengthened.
The management of inventories in INDIA CEMENT LTD has to be increased.
The debtor to sales ratio in the year 2006-07 shows that there is a chance of decreasein the collection of debtors promptly. INDIA CEMENT LTD has to take steps to
