A STUDY ON ASSET & LIABILITY MANAGEMENT IN AVR MANUFACTURERS
ABSTRACT
This project deals with the “A Study on Asset & Liability Management with reference
to AVR Manufacturers”. Asset & Liability Management is concerned with the problems that
arise while attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter
relationship that exist between them. The goal of Asset & Liability Management is to manage
the firm’s current assets and current liabilities in such way that the satisfactory level of
working capital is mentioned. The current assets should be large enough to cover its current
liabilities in order to ensure a reasonable margin of the safety. AVR Manufacturers is a
software development and soft skills training company which offers world class application
development services and an unparalleled training in recruitment and soft skills.
The main objective of this study is that to study on the Asset & Liability Management
and the effectiveness of managing a working capital in a company. The secondary objectives
of this study are to study the optimum level of current assets and current liabilities of the
company, to study the liquidity position through various working capital related ratios, to
study the financial performance using trend analysis tool. Study of the Asset & Liability
Management is important because unless the working capital is managed effectively,
monitored efficiently planed properly and reviewed periodically at regular intervals to
remove bottlenecks if any, the company cannot earn profits and increase its turnover.
The study of working capital is based on tools like Trend Analysis, Ratio Analysis,
working capital leverage, operating cycle etc. Further the study is based on last 5 years
Annual Reports of AVR MANUFACTURERS. And even factors like competitor’s analysis,
industry analysis were not considered while preparing this project. For this study the
secondary data collection method is used. The data collection was aimed at study of Asset &
Liability Management of the company. There is a need for working capital in the form of
current assets to deal with the problem arising out of lack of immediate realization of cash
against goods sold. Therefore sufficient working capital is necessary to sustain sales activity.
Efficient Asset & Liability Management requires that firms should operate with some amount
of net working capital, the exact amount varying from firm to firm and depending, among
1
other things; on the nature of companies. This study has some of the limitations like limited
data, limited period, limited area and the duration of the study is very low.
It should be realized that the working capital need of the firms may be fluctuating
with changing business activity. This may cause excess or shortage of working capital
frequently. The inadequate amount of working capital can be threatened for the solvency of
the firms because of its inability to meet its current obligation. The management should be
prompt to initiate an action and correct imbalance. The problems of the company are been
analyzed and the suggestions are been given for the company for its future estimation and
management of the working capital. The present study reveals that the liquidity position of
this company is comparatively good as it approaches the standard norms throughout the
period of study.

CHAPTER I
ABOUT THE STUDY
1.1) Introduction Asset & Liability Management
Asset & Liability Management is concerned with the problems that arise while
attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter relationship that
exist between them. The term current assets refers to those assets which in ordinary course of
business can be, or, will be, turned in to cash within one year without undergoing a
diminution in value and without disrupting the operation of the firm. The major current assets
are cash, marketable securities, account receivable and inventory. Current liabilities ware
those liabilities which intended at their inception to be paid in ordinary course of business,
within a year, out of the current assets or earnings of the concern. The basic current liabilities
are account payable, bill payable, bank over-draft, and outstanding expenses.
The goal of Asset & Liability Management is to manage the firms current assets and
current liabilities in such way that the satisfactory level of working capital is mentioned. The
current assets should be large enough to cover its current liabilities in order to ensure a
reasonable margin of the safety.
Definition:-
According to Guttmann & Dougall-
“Excess of current assets over current liabilities”
According to Park & Gladson-
The excess of current assets of a business (i.e. cash, accounts receivables,
inventories) over current items owned to employees and others (such as salaries & wages
payable, accounts payable, taxes owned to government).
1.2) Need of Asset & Liability Management
8
The need for working capital gross or current assets cannot be over emphasized. As
already observed, the objective of financial decision making is to maximize the shareholders
wealth. To achieve this, it is necessary to generate sufficient profits. This will naturally
depend upon the magnitude of the sales among other things but sales cannot convert into
cash. There is a need for working capital in the form of current assets to deal with the
problem arising out of lack of immediate realization of cash against goods sold. Therefore
sufficient working capital is necessary to sustain sales activity. Technically this is refers to
operating or cash cycle. If the company has certain amount of cash, it will be required for
purchasing the raw material which may be available on credit basis. Then the company has to
spend some amount for labor and factory overhead to convert the raw material in work in
progress, and ultimately finished goods. These finished goods convert in to sales on credit
basis in the form of sundry debtors. Sundry debtors are converted into cash after expiry of
credit period. Thus some amount of cash is blocked in raw materials, WIP, finished goods,
and sundry debtors and day to day cash requirements. However some part of current assets
may be financed by the current liabilities also. The amount required to be invested in this
current assets is always higher than the funds available from current liabilities. This is the
precise reason why the needs for working capital arise
1.3) Gross working capital and Net working capital
There are two concepts of Asset & Liability Management
1. Gross working capital
Gross working capital refers to the firm’s investment in current assets. Current assets
are the assets which can be convert in to cash within a year includes cash, short term
securities, debtors, bills receivable and inventory.
2. Net working capital
Net working capital refers to 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
9
Efficient Asset & Liability Management requires that firms should operate with some
amount of net working capital, the exact amount varying from firm to firm and depending,
among other things; on the nature of companies. Net working capital is necessary because the
cash outflows and inflows do not coincide. The cash outflows resulting from payment of
current liabilities are relatively predictable. The cash inflow are however difficult to predict.
The more predictable the cash inflows are, the less net working capital will be required.
The concept of working capital was, first evolved by Karl Marx. Marx used the term
variable capital means outlays for payrolls advanced to workers before the completion of
work. He compared this with constant capital which according to him is nothing but dead
labor. This variable capital is nothing but wage fund which remains blocked in terms of
financial management, in work- in-process along with other operating expenses until it is
released through sale of finished goods. Although Marx did not mentioned that workers also
gave credit to the firm by accepting periodical payment of wages which funded a portioned of
W.I.P, the concept of working capital, as we understand today was embedded in his variable
capital.
1.4) Types of working capital
The operating cycle creates the need for current assets (working capital). However the
need does not come to an end after the cycle is completed to explain this continuing need of
current assets a destination should be drawn between permanent and temporary working
capital.
1) Permanent working capital
The need for current assets arises, as already observed, because of the cash cycle. To
carry on business certain minimum level of working capital is necessary on continues and
uninterrupted basis. For all practical purpose, this requirement will have to be met
permanent as with other fixed assets. This requirement refers to as permanent or fixed
working capital
2) Temporary working capital
10
Any amount over and above the permanent level of working capital is temporary,
fluctuating or variable, working capital. This portion of the required working capital is
needed to meet fluctuation in demand consequent upon changes in production and sales as
result of seasonal changes
Graph shows that the permanent level is fairly constant; while temporary working capital is
fluctuating in the case of an expanding firm the permanent working capital line may not be
horizontal. This may be because of changes in demand for permanent current assets might be
increasing to support a rising level of activity.
1.5) Determinants of working capital
The amount of working capital is depends upon a following factors
1. Nature of business
Some businesses are such, due to their very nature, that their requirement of fixed
capital is more rather than working capital. These businesses sell services and not the
commodities and that too on cash basis. As such, no funds are blocked in piling inventories
and also no funds are blocked in receivables. E.g. public utility services like railways,
infrastructure oriented project etc. their requirement of working capital is less. On the other
hand, there are some businesses like trading activity, where requirement of fixed capital is
less but more money is blocked in inventories and debtors.
2. Length of production cycle
In some business like machine tools industry, the time gap between the acquisition of
raw material till the end of final production of finished products itself is quite high. As such
amount may be blocked either in raw material or work in progress or finished goods or even
in debtors. Naturally the need of working capital is high.
3. Size and growth of business
11
In very small company the working capital requirement is quite high due to high
overhead, higher buying and selling cost etc. as such medium size business positively has
edge over the small companies. Once the business grows beyond a certain limit, the working
capital requirements may be adversely affected by the increasing size.
4. Business/ Trade cycle
If the company is operating in the time of boom, the working capital requirement may
be more as the company may like to buy more raw material, may increase the production and
sales to take the benefit of favorable market, due to increase in the sales, there may be more
and more amount of funds blocked in stock and debtors etc. similarly in the case of
depressions also, working capital may be high as the sales terms of value and quantity may be
reducing, there may be unnecessary piling up of stack without getting sold, the receivable
may not be recovered in time etc.
5. Terms of purchase and sales
Some time due to competition or custom, it may be necessary for the company to
extend more and more credit to customers, as result which more and more amount is locked
up in debtors or bills receivables which increase the working capital requirement. On the
other hand, in the case of purchase, if the credit is offered by suppliers of goods and services,
a part of working capital requirement may be financed by them, but it is necessary to
purchase on cash basis, the working capital requirement will be higher.
6. Profitability
The profitability of the business may be vary in each and every individual case, which
is in turn its depend on numerous factors, but high profitability will positively reduce the
strain on working capital requirement of the company, because the profits to the extent that
they earned in cash may be used to meet the working capital requirement of the company.

CHAPTER II
2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE:
Automotive:
The Automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest
growing globally. India manufactures over 11 million vehicles (including 2 wheeled and 4
wheeled) and exports about 1.5 million every year. It is the world's second largest
manufacturer of motorcycles, with annual sales exceeding 8.5 million in 2009. India's
passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the seventh largest in the
world, with an annual production of more than 2.6 million units in 2009. In 2009, India
emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger cars, behind Japan, South Korea and
Thailand.
As of 2009, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles and more than 2.6 million cars
were sold in India in 2009 (an increase of 26%), making the country the second fastest
growing automobile market in the world. According to the Society of Indian Automobile
Manufacturers, annual car sales are projected to increase up to 5 million vehicles by 2015 and
more than 9 million by 2020. By 2050, the country is expected to top the world in car
volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads.
A chunk of India's car manufacturing industry is based in and around the city of Chennai,
also known as the "Detroit of India". With the Indian city accounting for 60 per cent of the
country's automotive exports. Gurgaon and Manesar near New Delhi are hubs where all of
the Maruti Suzuki cars in India are manufactured. The Chakan corridor near Pune,
Maharashtra is another vehicular production hub with General Motors, Volkswagen/ Skoda,
Mahindra, Tata in the process of setting up or already set up facilities. Ahmadabad with Tata
Motors Nano plant and Halol with General Motors in Gujarat, Aurangabad in Maharashtra,
Kolkata in West Bengal are some of the other automotive manufacturing regions around the
country.

Industry snapshots
Employment of automotive service technicians and mechanics is expected to increase
as fast as the average through the year 2014. Between 2004-2014, demand for
technicians will grow as the number of vehicles in operation increases, reflecting
continued growth in the number of multi-car families. Growth in demand will be
offset somewhat by slowing population growth and the continuing increase in the
quality and durability of automobiles, which will require less frequent service.
Additional job openings will be due to the need to replace a growing number of
retiring technicians, who tend to be the most experienced workers.
Most persons entering seeking employment in the automotive industry can expect
steady work, even through downturns in the economy. While car owners may
postpone maintenance and repair on their vehicles when their budgets become
strained, and employers of automotive technicians may cutback hiring new workers,
changes in economic conditions generally have minor effects on the automotive
service and repair business.
Opportunities in the automotive industry should be plentiful in vehicle maintenance
and repair occupations, especially for employees with formal automotive service
technician training.
Workforce Issues
Image and Promotion
Among the challenges automotive employers face is overcoming negative public
perceptions of the industry due to stereotypes and misinformation. Specifically, the
industry seeks to counteract this lack of awareness by demonstrating the availability
of viable occupations that pay well and have growth potential. The industry is also
working to develop a pipeline of young employees and transitioning workers from
which health care employers can recruit.
14
Diversity of the workforce: recruitment and retention
The industry is also focused on increasing diversity in the workforce. To this end,
employers are working to improve the pipeline and the demographic make-up of the
workforce in areas such as race, gender and language diversity.
Capacity and Instruction
The automotive industry is working to assist employees in the attainment of basic soft
skills, such as communications, basic reading, writing and math, problem solving and
customer service skills. Training efforts must include the resources and curriculum to
stay current with today's technology. To aid industry employers in this effort, the
industry has focused on recruiting more teachers and trainers; ensuring that they are
industry-certified and current in their field of knowledge. There is also a need of
continuing education for instructors.
Training and Education
Another concern among industry employers is the availability of training for new
employees and the re-training of incumbent employees. Education centers will be
utilized to focus on the development of standardized curriculum and the importance of
industry-based certification for training programs.
Skill Sets
Automotive technology is rapidly increasing in sophistication, and most training
authorities strongly recommend that persons seeking automotive service technician
and mechanic jobs complete a formal training program in high school or in a
postsecondary vocational school or community college. However, some service
technicians still learn the trade solely by assisting and learning from experienced
workers. Courses in automotive repair, electronics, physics, chemistry, English,
computers and mathematics provide a good educational background for a career as a
service technician.
Opportunities in vehicle maintenance and repair should be plentiful, especially for
persons who complete formal automotive service technician training. The growing
15
complexity of automotive technology increasingly requires highly trained automotive
service technicians and mechanics to service vehicles. Most persons who enter
maintenance and repair occupations in this industry may expect steady work because
changes in economic conditions have little effect on this part of the dealer's business.
Some automotive manufacturers and their associated dealers sponsor 2-year associate
degree programs at postsecondary schools. Students enrolled in these programs
typically spend alternate 10 to 12-week periods; attending classes full-time and
working full-time in the service departments of participating dealers.
For trainee positions, dealerships increasingly prefer to hire automotive service
technician graduates of postsecondary automotive training programs. Good reading
and basic math skills are required to study technical manuals, keep abreast of new
technology and learn new service and repair techniques as vehicle components and
systems become increasingly sophisticated.
Production workers account for three out of five motor vehicle and equipment
manufacturing jobs. These workers receive most of their training on the job or
through apprenticeship programs
Employment Training and Admistration (ETA) in action:
In June 2003, ETA announced the High Growth Job Training Initiative to engage
businesses with local education providers and the local/regional workforce investment system
to find solutions that address changing talent development needs in various industries.
In October 2005, the Community-Based Job Training Grants were announced to
improve the role of community colleges in providing affordable, flexible and
accessible education for the nation's workforce.
ETA is investing more than $260 million in 26 different regions across the United
States in support of the WIRED (Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic
Development) Initiative. Through WIRED, local leaders design and implement
strategic approaches to regional economic development and job growth. WIRED
focuses on catalyzing the creation of high skill, high wage opportunities for American
workers through an integrated approach to economic and talent development.
16
These initiatives reinforce ETA's commitment to transform the workforce system
through engaging business, education, state and local governments and other federal
agencies with the goal of creating a skilled workforce to meet the dynamic needs of
today's economy.
Investments
ETA has invested over $20,681,511 in the automotive industry. This includes 12 High
Growth Job Training grants totaling $14,395,956 and five Community-Based Job Training
Grants totaling $6,285,555. Leveraged resources from all of the grantees total $39,061,021.

Automobile Industry in India
The Automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest
growing globally. India manufactures over 11 million vehicles (including 2 wheeled and 4
wheeled) and exports about 1.5 million every year. It is the world's second largest

more than 9 million by 2020.By 2050, the country is expected to top the world in car volumes
with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads.
17
A chunk of India's car manufacturing industry is based in and around Chennai, also known as
the "Detroit of India" with the India operations of BMW, Ford, Hyundai and Nissan
headquartered in the city. Chennai accounts for 60 per cent of the country's automotive
exports. Gurgaon and Manesar near New Delhi are hubs where all of the Maruti Suzuki cars
in India are manufactured. The Chakan corridor near Pune, Maharashtra is another vehicular
production hub with companies like General Motors, Volkswagen, Skoda, Mahindra and
Mahindra, Tata Motors, Mercedes Benz, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants in the
area. Ahmedabad with the Tata Nano plant, Halol with General Motors in Gujarat,
Aurangabad with Audi in Maharashtra and Kolkatta with Hindustan Motors in West Bengal
are some of the other automotive manufacturing regions around the country.
1.2.2 Supply chain of Automobile Industry :
The supply chain of automotive industry in India is very similar to the supply chain of the
automotive industry in Europe and America. The orders of the industry arise from the bottom
of the supply chain i. e., from the consumers and go through the automakers and climbs up
until the third tier suppliers. However the products, as channeled in every traditional
automotive industry, flow from the top of the supply chain to reach the consumers.
Automakers in India are the key to the supply chain and are responsible for the products and
innovation in the industry.
The description and the role of each of the contributors to the supply chain are discussed
below.
Third Tier Suppliers: These companies provide basic products like rubber, glass, steel, plastic
and aluminum to the second tier suppliers.
Second Tier Suppliers: These companies design vehicle systems or bodies for First Tier
Suppliers and OEMs. They work on designs provided by the first tier suppliers or OEMs.
1.2.2 Figure showing the Supply Chain of Indian Automobile Industry
18
They
also
provide engineering resources for detailed designs. Some of their services may include
welding, fabrication, shearing, bending etc.
First Tier Suppliers: These companies provide major systems directly to assemblers. These
companies have global coverage, in order to follow their customers to various locations
around the world. They design and innovate in order to provide “black-box” solutions for the
requirements of their customers. Black-box solutions are solutions created by suppliers using
their own technology to meet the performance and interface requirements set by assemblers.
First tier suppliers are responsible not only for the assembly of parts into complete units like
dashboard, breaks-axel-suspension, seats, or cockpit but also for the management of second-
tier suppliers.
Automakers/Vehicle Manufacturers/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs): After
researching consumers’ wants and needs, automakers begin designing models which are
tailored to consumers’ demands. The design process normally takes five years. These
companies have manufacturing units where engines are manufactured and parts supplied by
first tier suppliers and second tier suppliers are assembled. Automakers are the key to the
supply chain of the automotive industry. Examples of these companies are Tata Motors,
Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, and Honda. Innovation, design capability and branding are the main
focus of these companies.
19
Dealers: Once the vehicles are ready they are shipped to the regional branch and from there,
to the authorized dealers of the companies. The dealers then sell the vehicles to the end
customers.
Parts and Accessory: These companies provide products like tires, windshields, and air bags
etc. to automakers and dealers or directly to customers.
Service Providers: Some of the services to the customers include servicing of vehicles,
repairing parts, or financing of vehicles. Many dealers provide these services but, customers
can also choose to go to independent service providers.

CHAPTER III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Asset & Liability Management is the management of assets that are current in nature. Current
assets, by accounting definition are the assets normally converted in to cash in a period of one
year. Hence Asset & Liability Management can be considered as the management of cash,
market securities receivable, inventories and current liabilities. In fact, the management
of current assets is similar to that of fixed assets the sense that is both in cases the firm
analyses their effect on its profitability and risk factors, hence they differ on three major
aspects:
1. In managing fixed assets, time is an important factor discounting and compounding aspects
of time play an important role in capital budgeting and a minor part in the management
of current assets.
2. The large holdings of current assets, especially cash, may strengthen the firm’s liquidity
position, but is bound to reduce profitability of the firm as ideal car yield nothing.
3. The level of fixed assets as well as current assets depends upon the expected sales, but it is
only current assets that add fluctuation in the short run to a business.
To understand working capital better we should have basic knowledge about the various
aspects of working capital. To start with, there are two concepts of working capital:
Gross Working Capital
Net working Capital
Gross Working Capital: Gross working capital, which is also simply known as working
capital, refers to the firm’s investment in current assets: Another aspect of gross working
capital points out the need of arranging funds to finance the current assets. The gross working
capital concept focuses attention on two aspects of current assets management, firstly
optimum investment in current assets and secondly in financing the current assets. These two
aspects will help in remaining away from the two danger points of excessive or inadequate
investment in current assets. Whenever a need of working capital funds arises due to increase
in level of business activity or for any other reason the arrangement should be made quickly,
29
and similarly if some surpluses are available, they should not be allowed to lie ideal but
should be put to some effective use.
Net Working Capital: The term net working capital refers to the difference between the
current assets and current liabilities. Net working capital can be positive as well as negative.
Positive working capital refers to the situation where current assets exceed current liabilities
and negative working capital refers to the situation where current liabilities exceed current
assets. The net working capital helps in comparing the liquidity of the same firm over time.
For purposes of the Asset & Liability Management, therefore Working Capital can be said to
measure the liquidity of the firm. In other words, the goal of Asset & Liability Management
is to manage the current assets and liabilities in such a way that a acceptable level of net
working capital is maintained.
Working capital refers to the investment by the company in short
terms assets such as cash, marketable securities. Net current assets or net
working capital refers to the current assets less current liabilities.
Symbolically, it means,
Net Current Assets = Current Assets Current Liabilities.
Studies adopting a new approach towards Asset & Liability Management are reviewed
here.
Sagan in his paper (1955),
1 perhaps the first theoretical paper on the theory of Asset & Liability Management,
emphasized the need for management of working capital accounts and warned that it could
vitally affect the health of the company. He realized the need to build up a theory of Asset &
Liability Management. He discussed mainly the role and functions of money manager
inefficient working capital 48 management. Sagan pointed out the money manager’s
operations were primarily in the area of cash flows generated in the course of business
transactions. However, money manager must be familiar with what is being done with the
30
control of inventories, receivables and payables because all these accounts affect cash
position. Thus, Sagan concentrated mainly on cash component of working capital. Sagan
indicated that the task of money manager was to provide funds as and when needed and to
invest temporarily surplus funds as profitably as possible in view of his particular
requirements of safety and liquidity of funds by examining the risk and return of various
investment opportunities. He suggested that money manager should take his decisions on the
basis of cash budget and total current assets position rather than on the basis of traditional
working capital ratios. This is important because efficient money manager can avoid
borrowing from outside even when his net working capital position is low. The study pointed
out that there was a need to improve the collection of funds but it remained silent about the
method of doing it. Moreover, this study is descriptive without any empirical support.
Realizing the dearth of pertinent literature on Asset & Liability Management, Walker in his
study (1964)
2 made a pioneering effort to develop a theory of Asset & Liability Management by
empirically testing, though partially, three propositions based on risk-return trade-off of Asset
& Liability Management. Walker studied the effect of the change in the level of working
capital on the rate of return in nine industries for the year 1961 and found the relationship
between the level of working capital and the rate of return to be negative.
Vanhorne in his study (1969)4 ,
Recognizing Asset & Liability Management as an area largely lacking in theoretical
perspective, attempted to develop a framework in terms of probabilistic cash budget for
evaluating decisions concerning 51the level of liquid assets and the maturity composition of
debt involving risk-return trade-off. He proposed calculation of different forecasted liquid
asset requirements along with their subjective probabilities under different possible
assumptions of sales, receivables, payables and other related receipts and disbursements. He
suggested preparing a schedule showing, under each alternative of debt maturity, probability
distributions of liquid asset balances for future periods, opportunity cost, maximum
probability of running out of cash and number of future periods in which there was a chance
of cash stock-out. Once the risk and opportunity cost for different alternatives were
estimated, the form could determine the best alternative by balancing the risk of running out
of cash against the cost of providing a solution to avoid such a possibility depending on
31
management’s risk tolerance limits. Thus, Vanhorne study presented a risk-return trade-off of
Asset & Liability Management in entirely new perspective by considering some of the
variables probabilistically. However, the usefulness of the framework suggested by Vanhorne
is limited because of the difficulties in obtaining information about the probability
distributions of liquid-asset balances, the opportunity cost and the probability of running out
of cash for different alternative of debt maturities.
Welter, in his study (1970)
Stated that working capital originated because of the global delay between the moment
Expenditure for purchase of raw material was made and the moment when payments were
received for the sale of finished 52product. Delay centers are located throughout the
production and marketing functions. The study requires specifying the delay centers and
working capital tied up in each delay centre with the help of information regarding average
delay and added value. He recognized that by more rapid and precise information through
computers and improved professional ability of management, saving through reduction of
working capital could be possible by reducing the length of global delay by rescuing and/or
favorable redistribution of this global delay among the different delay centers. However,
better information and improved staff involve cost. Therefore, savings through reduction of
working capital should be tried till these saving are greater or equal to the cost of these
savings. Thus, this study is concerned only with return aspect of Asset & Liability
Management ignoring risk. Enterprises, following this approach, can adversely affect its
short-term liquidity position in an attempt to achieve saving through reduction of working
capital. Thus, firms should be conscious of the effect of law current assets on its ability to
pay-off current liabilities. Moreover, this approach concentrated only on total amount of
current assets ignoring the interactions between current assets and current liabilities.
Lambrix and Singhvi (1979)
Adopting the working capital cycle approach to the Asset & Liability Management, also
suggested that investment in working capital could be optimized and cash flows could be
improved by reducing the time frame of the physical flow from receipt of raw material to
shipment of 53finished goods, i.e. inventory management, and by improving the terms on
which firm sells goods as well as receipt of cash. However, the further suggested that
32
working capital investment could be optimized also (1) by improving the terms on which
firms bought goods i.e. creditors and payment of cash, and (2) by eliminating the
administrative delays i.e. the deficiencies of paper-work flow which tended to extend the
time-frame of the movement of goods and cash.
Warren and Shelton (1971)7
Applied financial simulation to simulate future financial statements of a firm, based on a set
of simultaneous equations. Financial simulation approach makes it possible to incorporate
both the uncertainty of the future and the many interrelationships between current assets,
current liabilities and other balance sheet accounts. The strength of simulation as a tool of
analysis is that it permits the financial manager to incorporate in his planning both the most
likely value of an activity and the margin of error associated with this estimate. Warren and
Shelton presented a model in which twenty simultaneous equations were used to forecast
future balance sheet of the firm including forecasted current assets and forecasted current
liabilities. Current assets and current liabilities were forecasted in aggregate by directly
relating to firm sales. However, individual working capital accounts can also be forecasted in
a larger simulation system. Moreover, future financial statements can be simulated over a
range of different assumptions to portray inherent uncertainty of the future.
Cohn and Pringle in their study (1973)9
Illustrated the extension of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)10 for Asset & Liability
Management decisions. They tried to interrelate long-term investment and financing
decisions and Asset & Liability Management decisions through CAPM. They emphasized
that an active Asset & Liability Management policy based on CAPM could be employed to
keep the firm’s shares in a given risk class. By risk, he meant unsystematic risk, the only risk
deemed relevant by CAPM. Owing to the lumpy nature for long-term financial decisions, the
firm is continually subject to shifts in the risk of its equity. The fluid nature of working
capital, on the other hand, can be exploited so as to offset or moderate such swings. For
example they suggested that a policy using CAPM could be adopted for the management of
marketable securities portfolio such that the appropriate risk level at any point in time was
that which maintains the risk of the company’s common stock at a constant level. Similarly,
Copeland and Khoury (1980) applied CAPM to develop a theory of credit expansion. They
argued that credit should be extended only if the expected rate of return on credit is greater
33
than or equal to market determined required rate of return. They used CAPM to determine the
required rate of return for the firm with its new risk, arising from uncertainty regarding
collection due to the extension of credit. Thus, these studies show how CAPM can be used
for decisions involved in Asset & Liability Management. 55 One more approach, used mainly
in empirical studies, towards Asset & Liability Management has been to apply regression
analysis to determine the factors influencing investment in working capital. Different studies
in the past have considered different explanatory variables to explain the investment in
inventory. A brief review12 of these studies is important as regression equation of investment
in working capital, in the present study, would be formulated on the basis of works on
investment in inventory. In inventory investment literature, there is basically one school of
thought according to which firms aim at an optimum or desired stock of inventories in
relation to a given level of output/sales. This is known as acceleration principle. Pioneering
work in this field has been done by Metzler (1941)13.
However, his work was mainly on simple acceleration principle which postulated that firms
liked to maintain inventories in proportions to output/sales and they succeeded in achieving
the desired level of inventories in a unit time period. That is to say, any discrepancy between
the actual level and desired level of inventories is adjusted within the same time-period.
Needless to say, that such an instantaneous adjustment is not a realistic assumption to make.
Modifications, therefore, have been introduced in the literature to provide for partial
adjustment. Goodwin (1948)14 assumed that firms attempted only a partial adjustment of the
discrepancy between the desired stocks as determined by the level of output and the existing
stock.
Similarly, Darling and 56Lovell (1965)15 modified Metzler’s formulation based on simple
acceleration principle and obtained, the relationship based on flexible accelerator principle.
There are several reasons physical, financial and technical those motivate partial adjustment.
Among the physical factors, mention may be made of procurement lags between orders and
deliveries. The length of such lags is connected with the source of supply, foreign or
domestic availability. Import licensing procedures on account of foreign exchange scarcity
could cause further delays in adjustment. Among the financial factors, cost advantages
associated with bulk buying and higher procurement costs for speedy delivery are also
mentioned. Uncertainties in the market for raw materials and in the demand for final product
also play a role in influencing the speed of adjustment. Technically, firms like to make sure
34
that changes in demand are of a permanent character before making full adjustment. The
acceleration principle has great relevance in inventory analysis than in the analysis of fixed
investment, as there are limits to liquidate fixed capital in the face of declining demand.
Other variables influencing inventories have been introduced in the literature in the context of
accelerator model. Rate of interest is used as a proxy for the opportunity cost of carrying
stocks or as a measure of the cost of funds needed to hold inventories. It has been found
significant in the studies of Hilton (1976)16 and Irwin (1981)17
. Time-trend is expected to be important because inventories generally accumulate with the
expansion of economic activities of the company. Anticipated 57price changes, measured by
changes in wholesale price index of inventories, are taken as an explanatory variable to
capture speculative element in inventory. This suggests a positive relationship between price
changes and inventory. An increase in sales is expected to increase the demand for stocks to
meet orders regularly. An increase in capacity utilization is also expected to increase the
demand for stock by increasing the demand for raw materials and increasing the inventories
of finished goods. Thus, the variable, capacity utilization, is postulated to have a positive
coefficient in the equation.
Abramowitz (1950)18 and Modigliani (1957)19
Highlighted the impact of capacity utilization on inventory investment. Existing stock of
inventories is expected to take account of adjustment process to the desired levels. Thus the
variable, existing stock of inventories, is postulated to be negatively related with the desired
stock. The ratio of inventory to sales may affect inventory investment positively because a
high ratio of stocks to sales in the past suggests the maintenance of high levels of inventories
in the past and thus also calling for high investment in inventories in the current period.
The studies of Metzler (1941)20 and Hilton (1976)21
Have found this variable, inventory-sales ratio, to be statistically significant. Fixed
investment is generally expected to affect inventory investment inversely because of
competing demand for the limited funds. However, in case of an expanding firm, the two
components may be complementary. Besides, availability of funds from retained earnings
and external sources, may affect investment 58decision by providing funds for financing
35
inventory investment. Therefore, retained earnings and flow of debt are postulated to have
positive coefficients.
CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
4.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY
1. To provide reliable financial information about economic resources and obligation of a
business firm.
2. To provide other needed information about charges in such economic resources and
obligation.
3. To provide reliable information about change in net resources (recourses less obligations)
missing out of business activities.
4. To provide financial information that assets in estimating the learning potential of the
business.
4.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Study of the Asset & Liability Management is important because unless the working
capital is managed effectively, monitored efficiently planed properly and reviewed
periodically at regular intervals to remove bottlenecks if any, the company cannot earn profits
and increase its turnover. With this primary objective of the study, the following further
objectives are framed for a depth analysis.
1. To study the Asset & Liability Management of AVR MANUFACTURERS., Chennai
2. To study the optimum level of current assets and current liabilities of the company.
3. To study the liquidity position through various working capital related ratios.
4. To study the financial performance using trend analysis tool
36
4.3 SCOPE & LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The scope of the study is identified after and during the study. The study of working capital
is based on tools like Trend Analysis, Ratio Analysis, working capital leverage, operating
cycle etc. Further the study is based on last 5 years Annual Reports of AVR
MANUFACTURERS. And even factors like competitor’s analysis, industry analysis were
not considered while preparing this project.
4.4 Limitations of the study
Following limitations were encountered while preparing this project:
1) Limited data:-
This project has completed with annual reports; it just constitutes one part of data
collection i.e. secondary. There were limitations for primary data collection because of
confidentiality.
2) Limited period:-
This project is based on five year annual reports. Conclusions and recommendations
are based on such limited data. The trend of last five year may or may not reflect the real
working capital position of the company
3) Limited area:-
Also it was difficult to collect the data regarding the competitors and their financial
information. Industry figures were also difficult to get.
37
Research Methodology
4.4) Introduction
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may
be understood as a science of studying now research is done systematically. In that various
steps, those are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his problem along with the
logic behind them.
It is important for research to know not only the research method but also know
methodology. “The procedures by which researcher goes about their work of describing,
explaining and predicting phenomenon are called methodology” Methods comprise the
procedures used for generating, collecting and evaluating data. All this means that it is
necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may
differ from problem to problem.
Data collection is important step in any project and success of any project will be
largely depend upon now much accurate you will be able to collect and how much time,
money and effort will be required to collect that necessary data, this is also important step.
Data collection plays an important role in research work. Without proper data available for
analysis you cannot do the research work accurately.
4.4.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design has been considered as a "blueprint" for research, dealing with
at least four problems: what questions to study, what data are relevant, what data to collect,
and how to analyze the results.
RESEARCH DESIGN USED IN THE STUDY
In analytical research, the researcher has to use facts or information already available,
and analyze these to make a critical evaluation of the material.
4.4.2) Types of data collection
38
There are two types of data collection methods available.
1. Primary data collection
2. Secondary data collection
1) Primary data
The primary data is that data which is collected fresh or first hand, and for first time
which is original in nature. Primary data can collect through personal interview, questionnaire
etc. to support the secondary data.
2) Secondary data collection method
The secondary data are those which have already collected and stored. Secondary data
easily get those secondary data from records, journals, annual reports of the company etc. It
will save the time, money and efforts to collect the data. Secondary data also made available
through trade magazines, balance sheets, books etc.
This project is based on primary data collected through personal interview of head of
account department, and other concerned staff member of finance department. But primary
data collection had limitations such as matter confidential information thus project is based
on secondary information collected through five years annual report of the company,
supported by various books and internet sides. The data collection was aimed at study of
Asset & Liability Management of the company
Project is based on
1. Annual report of AVR MANUFACTURERS, 2008
2. Annual report of AVR MANUFACTURERS, 2009
3. Annual report of AVR MANUFACTURERS, 2010
4. Annual report of AVR MANUFACTURERS, 2011
5. Annual report of AVR MANUFACTURERS, 2012

CHAPTER V
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETAITION
WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS
Asset & Liability Management is concerned with the problems which arise in
attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter relationship that
exist between them. The term current assets refers to those assets which in ordinary course of
business can be, or, will be, turned in to cash within one year without undergoing a
diminution in value and without disrupting the operation of the firm. The major current assets
are cash, marketable securities, account receivable and inventory. Current liabilities ware
those liabilities which intended at their inception to be paid in ordinary course of business,
within a year, out of the current assets or earnings of the concern. The basic current liabilities
are account payable, bill payable, bank over-draft, and outstanding expenses.
The goal of Asset & Liability Management is to manage the firm s current
assets and current liabilities in such way that the satisfactory level of working capital is
mentioned. The current should be large enough to cover its current liabilities in order to
ensure a reasonable margin of the safety.
The consideration of the level investment in current assets should avoid two danger
points excessive and inadequate investment in current assets. Investment in current assets
should be just adequate, not more or less, to the need of the business firms. Excessive
investment in current assets should be avoided because it impairs the firm s profitability, as
40
idle investment earns nothing. On the other hand inadequate amount of working capital can
be threatened for the solvency of the firms because of its inability to meet its current
obligation. It should be realized that the working capital need of the firms may be fluctuating
with changing business activity. This may cause excess or shortage of working capital
frequently. The management should be prompt to initiate an action and correct imbalance

INFERENCE:
In the above the working capital is negative due to more fluctuations in inventory and
loans. The company has borrowed more from outsiders for their purchase of fixed asset. The
creditors are increased at a very high rate that causes the company for many bad debts. More
care should be taken to avoid such fluctuations in the later years.

INFERENCE:
It can be clearly inferred that the company has a fluctuating working capital. This
means that the management is not making a good attention to the flow of funds. The
company’s working capital for the year 2012 is again decreased at a very low rate this is due
to more Bad debts. Although the company has improved to an extent by decreasing its
liabilities.

5.2 RATIO ANALYSIS
5.2 MEANING OF RATIO:
A ratio is a mathematical relationship between two items expressed in a
quantitative form. Ratio can be defined as “Relationship expressed kin quantitative terms
between figures which have cause and effect relationship which are connected with each
other in some manner or the other.
DEFINITION OF RATIO:
According to Accountant’s Hand Book by Wixon, Kell and Bedford, a
Ratio” Is an expression of the quantitative relationship between two numbers.
LIQUIDITY RATIOS:
It measures the ability of a company to meet its current obligations, and indicate
the short term financial stability of the company. The parties interested in the liquid ratio
would be employees, bankers and short-term creditors.
CURRENT RARIO:
49
Current Ratio may be defined as the ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities.
It is also known as Working Capital Ratio 2:1 ratio. Current Ratio shows the relationship
between total current assets and total current liabilities expressed as a formula.
Current Assets
CURRENT RATIO =
Current Liabilities
QUICK RATIO:
A measure of company’s liquidity and ability to meet its obligations, Quick ratio,
often referred to as acid-test ratio, is obtained by subtracting inventories from current assets
and then dividing by current liabilities. Quick ratio is viewed as a sign of company’s financial
strength or weakness (higher number means stronger, lower number means weaker).
Liquid/Quick assets
QUICK RATIO =
Current Liabilities
ABSOLUTE LIQUIDITY RATIO:
This is also known as super Quick Ratio (or) Cash Ratio. This ratio
considers only absolute liquidity available with the firm. Absolute Liquid assets include cash
in hand, cash at bank marketable securities. A standard of 0.5: 1 absolute liquidity ratio is
considered an acceptable norm. It is calculated as follows:
Cash & Bank Balances
ABSOLUTE LIQUIDITY RATIO =
50
Current Liabilities
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO:
Inventory Turnover Ratio also known as stock turnover ratio in the
traditional language; usually establishes relationship between the cost of goods sold during a
given period and the average amount of Inventory outstanding during that period. Inventory
Turnover Ratio can be calculated by of the following formula:
Net Sales
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO =
Average Inventory
DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO:
Receivables (or) Debtors normally include both debtors and Bill
Receivable and represent the uncollected portion of Credit sales receivables constitute an
important component of Current Assets and therefore the quality of receivables to a great
extent determines the liquidity of a firm. This Ratio can be calculated as follows:
Credit Sales
DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO =
Debtor
CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO:
This Ratio is similar to receivable turnover ratio. It compares the
Accounts Payable with the total credit purchases. It signifies the credit period enjoyed by the
firm in paying creditors. Accounts payable include both sundry creditors and bills payable. It
is calculated as follows:
Net Purchase
CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO =
Average creditors
51
FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIO:
This ratio indicates the extent to which the investment in fixed assets
contributes towards sales. If compared with a previous period, it indicates whether the
investment in fixed assets has been judicious or not, the Ratio is calculated as follows:
Sales
FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIO =
Net Fixed Assets
WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO:
A measurement comparing the depletion of working capital to the generation
of sales over a given period, this provides some useful information as to how effectively a
company is using its working capital to generate sales.
Net Sales
WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO=
Net Working Capital
CASH TO CURRENT ASSET RATIO:
The cash asset ratio is similar to the current ratio, except that the current
ratio includes current assets such as inventories in the numerator. Some analysts believe that
including current assets makes it difficult to convert them into usable funds for debt
obligations. The cash asset ratio is a much more accurate measure of a firm's liquidity
Cash
CASH TO CURRENT ASSET RATIO=
Current Assets
CURRENT ASSET TURNOVER RATIO:
52
The ratio is calculated to ascertain the efficiency of use of current
assets of the concerns. With an increase in sales, current assets are expected to increase.
However, an increase in the ratio shows that current assets turned over faster resulting in
higher sales for a given investment in current assets. Higher ratio is generally an index of
better efficiency and profitability of the concern. This ratio gives a general impression about
the adequacy of working capital in reaction to sales.

FINDINGS:
In the year of 2008, 2009 and 2010 shows increase in Working
Capital. This indicates that the company has ability of payment of
short-term Liability.
The fixed assets ratio indicates that the working capital of this
company is funded by long-term funds which indicate efficient funds
management.
The Short –term Liquidity and long- term Liquidity position of the
concern were studied to evaluate the Working Capital of the concern.
During the study period 2008 to 2012 the current ratio of the concern
varied from 8.63 to 2.21.But 2010 - 2011 is varied from 0.77 to 1.80.
This was much less than the prescribed of 2:1. The inference is that
the Current Liability may not be easily met out of Current Asset by
the Company.
The Quick ratio of the concern during the period 2008 - 2012 the
study is varied from 7.22 to 1.67.Which was much greater than the
prescribed standard of 1:1.So the company Liquidity level is
satisfactory.
In Trend analysis the Cash &Bank Balance have been increased from
2008 to 2011.So it shows the Cash position of the company is good.
CHAPTER VII
SUGGESTION:
95
The company is a profit seeking one; it has to commit all of its
resources to achieve its goal. To achieve this, profitability, liquidity
and solvency position a crucial elements to be monitored carefully,
thereby the trade off can be reached
This company’s ability to meet its current obligations is satisfactory
though it does not meet the conventional norm. This company
maintains current liabilities more than the amount of current assets
which has to be viewed seriously and improvement of this ratio is
required to achieve the optimum level.
Stock Turnover Ratio should be maintained at the constant level.
The Cash & Bank Balances of the company is good.
Using trend analysis it can be suggested that the fixed assets curve
shows steady upward direction much than the current assets curve,
which enable us to understand the company’s funds are dumped in
fixed asset, it is not a favorable condition to the company
CHAPTER VIII
CONCLUTION
96
The present study reveals that the liquidity position of this company is comparatively good
as it approaches the standard norms throughout the period of study. On the whole, it can be
concluded that the company’s overall risk evaluation process is not at desired level and the
author has made the realistic recommendation for the improvement in operational and
managerial efficiency of the company as to maintain and increase further by effective
utilization and control of all the assets.
