Hey guys dont get scared. We will go step by step.
IMAGINE:
You wake up to find the Snoozed Alarm. You rush to College, but
you are late. And there is more to it.
You are quick to realize your Walletlessness. You borrow from a
friend. And then it is back to normal.
You spend as if you are living for the day, and while returning home,
you are again back to Ground Zero (Penniless).
What was the Crux of the problem?
For those people who live by borrowing from other (the so called
Financially Leverage people) there was no problem, but for people
like our Founder, there was.
The answer to the Question is the topic itself.
You failed to estimate. And this failure was not only on
monetary part but it was complimented by you being late, bad
planning.

The bottom line of the problem accurately was Estimated
Failure. In which case, you are a Damager and not a Manager.
Now lets understand the basics of Working Capital:.
This will include the following things:
1) Meaning
2) The ingredients of working capital.
3) Its effect on the long term policy of the Org.
Meaning:
o That part of Firms capital which is required to hold or operate
firms operations.
o Basically the concept of installment on loan can be understood as
working capital. How we need to pay regular installments so that
we can have access to resources.
o Similarly a firm has to pay for factors of production, to hold on
good. Etc.
o In Accounting sense Working Capital = Current Assets
Current Liabilities.
o Decisions relating to working capital and short term
o These involve managing the relationship between a firm's short-
term assets and its short-term liabilities.

o The goal of Working capital management is to ensure that
the firm is able to continue its operations and that it has
sufficient cash flow to satisfy both maturing short-term debt
and upcoming operational expenses.
Ingredients or Management of Working Capital
o Management will use a combination of policies and techniques for
the management of working capital.
o These require managing the current assets - generally cash and cash
equivalents, inventories and debtors.
o There are also a variety of short term financing options which are
considered. This includes:
Cash management identify the cash balance which
allows for the business to meet day to day expenses,
but reduces cash holding costs
Inventory management - identify the level of inventory
which allows for uninterrupted production but reduces
the investment in raw materials and hence increases

cash flow; Techniques Used: Just in Time (JIT) and
Economic order quantity (EOQ).
Debtors management - identify the appropriate credit
policy, i.e. credit terms which will attract customers,
such that any impact on cash flows and the cash
conversion cycle will be offset by increased revenue
and hence Return on Capital (or vice versa); see
Discounts and allowances.
Short term financing - inventory is ideally financed by
credit granted by the supplier; dependent on the cash
conversion cycle, it may be necessary to utilize a bank
loan (or overdraft), or to "convert debtors to cash".
Note:
Cash Conversion Cycle:
The net number of days from the outlay of cash (Purchase) for raw material to receiving
payment from the customer. As a management tool, this metric makes explicit the inter-
relatedness of decisions relating to inventories, accounts receivable and payable, and
cash.

o Now that was the Conceptual part. But the
Problem is still prevalent.
That is, How to Estimate Working Capital ?
There are 2 ways to solve the sums of Estimation of
Working Capital1. Understanding the Mechanics and then solve
2. Going by a fixed format.
Lets analyze and understand the given sum.
Lets check the information given to us: 1) The Sales or the Turnover of the Firm.
2) The Cost Sheet

Note:
The preparation of Cost Sheet is very important from Exam point of View. Hence,Structure of Cost Sheet is Given below:
Particulars Amount Amount
1) Direct Costs:a. Direct Wages:
b. Direct Labor:c. Raw Materials
d. CarriageInward:
Prime Cost
2) Factory Costs orOverheads Costs:
Factory Cost
3) Office and
Administrative Exp.
Cost of Production:
(+) Opening Stock
Finished goods.
(-) Closing Stock
Cost of Goods Sold:
4) Selling &Distribution Costs:
Cost of Sales:
5) Profit per Unit:
Selling Price per Unit:

After Understanding the Cost Sheet, lets now make one for the Above problem:

As there are no Administrative Expenses or Selling or Distribution
Expenses, hence Cost of Production and Cost of Sales Remains Same.
That was About Cost Sheet. Mind You, There will be MoreSums for practice on Cost Sheets as well as Working
Capital.

Statement of Estimating Working Capital
It is a Compartmental Distribution of all the Costs in an EconomicSense.
For Example,
Imagine You Enter a Restaurant, and there are 10 Seats or
Tables Unoccupied, for Next 10 Minutes.
This Would simply mean that, had there been only ONE Chair, it would
have been Vacant for 100 Minutes. That is what we mean by Calculating
Economically.
2nd
Example:
Imagine 3 People of Same Working Capacity, are Completing a Task.
Now, That would Simply mean Task Will be Completed in 1/3 of the Time
(Approx.) and it would also mean that if the Same Task is given to a person
of Same Working Capacity, then he would take approx. 3 Times the Time
taken by Group to Complete it.
Task To Be Completed = 3 units.
One person Can workout only 1 Unit per Day
Hence He Will Require 3 Days.
But When a Group of 3 do the Task, it would Take them a proper 1 day.

If you have got the above examples, then Try this Sentence:
Raw Materials are in Store on an Average for 2 Months.
Guys Dont Scratch Your Heads. Mind you, It aint That Simple.
Lets understand it Step by Step:
A firm has daily Requirement for Raw Materials.
Suppose this Requirement is Same/Static For ALL the PERIODS
of Equal Size.
Raw Materials are in Store on an Average For 2 Months
This would Simply mean that Raw Materials At any Point of Time in
the Year Satisfy the Production For Next 2 Months.
That is at the End of Year, there will still be 2 months materials Left.
Or we can say, that, Without Ordering for the Raw Material, I can
Satisfy the Production Cycle For 2 Months. By this statement, we can
again conclude, that whenever we want to make Financial or
Technical Analysis of Raw Materials of the Firm, it would be on the
Scale of 2 Months.
That is once in 2 months, or Thrice in 6 months, or Six times
Annually.
But, but, but, now as i say this, i am remembered by a Fact:

That is Working Capital Requirement is Forecasted or Calculated on
Monthly Basis. That is 12 Estimates Annually.
And not to Forget, Every Item Which Constitutes the Working
Capital Would Have a Different Period or Cycle of Rotation.
Hence there is a need felt to calculate Working
Capital on Monthly Basis.
Lets make a complete sense of the given Statement:
Raw Materials are in Store on an Average For 2 Months
This as explained earlier, there would be twice the capacity of materials
required by the production department.
But, as also said earlier, the Estimates have to be prepared Monthly.
Hence Simply put Raw Materials are 2 Times the Capacity in any
Given Month.
Hence the Cost of Raw Materials for the Month =
Raw Materials required per Month x 2 x Rate per Unit of Raw
Material.
That is What we mean by Economically Speaking for Standard Units of Time.

That is Expressing the Variable Time Cycle in to Standard Unit of Time which is One
Month.
Now Consider this:
Finished Goods are in Stock for an Average 2 months.
It would simply mean that, Finished goods for the Month are Double the
Capacity for that Respective Month.
Cost of Finished Goods: Finished Goods Produced Per Month x 2 x Rate per
Unit.
If you have got this, You have Just Completed A Chapter in Finance.

The Technical Aspects of Statement:
As said Earlier, Working Capital is the Difference between Current
Assets and Current Liabilities.
Hence every Statement will have 2 parts to it. That is Current Assets
and Current Liabilities.
A specimen is provided below:
Sr. Particulars Amount Amount (Rs.)
A) Current Assets:i) Stock :
a) Raw Materials:Requirement Per Month x Rate
x Average Time
b) Finished Goods:
Requirement Per Month x Rate x
Average Time
ii) Work in Progress:
a) Requirement Per Month x Rate xAverage Time x 0.5
b) Labor: Requirement Per Month x
Rate x Average Time x 0.5
c) Overheads: Requirement Per
Month x Rate x Average Time x 0.5
iii) Debtors: Sales Per Month x

Selling Price x Average Time
iv) Advances Given:
v) Cash in Hand & Bank:

Current Liabilities:
i) Creditors:
a) Raw Materials: Requirement PerMonth x Rate x Average Time Lag.
b) Labor: Requirement Per Month xRate x Average Time Lag.
c) Overheads: Requirement PerMonth x Rate x Average Time Lag.
Net Working Capital Required:
Now as given in the Above Specimen, while Solving
Every sum, we must care of all individual costs, that
including there Periods of Rotation as well as Master
Groups that is Current Assets and Current Liabilities.
Let us Go on the Main Sum provided at the Beginning
of the Document.

But, but, but
We still have to find out the Production Capacity of thePlant. Without which we will be always dealing with the
Costs per unit. But Estimation of Working Capital is the
Aggregate of all the Costs and that too Monthly.
Given that Production Level of the Firm annually = 18000
Units.
Hence the Monthly Production = 18000\12 = 1500 units.
Books of M/s. XYZ Ltd
Level of Activity: 18000 (Annually)
Therefore, Monthly = 18000/12 = 1500
Estimate of Working Capital Requirement

Notice the Sub-heading of Work-in-Progress. You will notice that
every Sub-Cost is Multiplies by . This is because it is Work-in-
Progress.
This means that we are Assuming, that Goods in Work-in-Progress
are not completely finished nor completely in the Stage of Raw
Materials. That is some work has been done on them, which is why
they are Work-in-Progress.
Hence it is Assumed that they are Partially Completed and to be
Precise are half done.
That makes it for those who have done this sum by understanding
Each and Every Concept.
Now for those people who havent understood the Fundamentals, Just Follow that GivenFormat Blindly and you Will get it right.
For Format See page Number 13.
Sums for Practice will be Posted After Some time, Onceyou Complete the Tutorials of the Chapter, Followed by the
Solution for the Same Tomorrow.
