Executive Summery

I have carried out my research work in Krishak Bharti Cooperative Ltd., which is

ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 organization. Krishak Bharati Co-operative

Limited (KRIBHCO), a premier Co-operative Society for manufacture of fertilizer,

registered under Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act – 1985, was promoted by

the Govt. of India, IFFCO, NCDC and other agricultural cooperative societies

spread all over the country.

KRIBHCO has setup a Fertilizer Complex to manufacture Urea, Ammonia

&           Bio-fertilizers at Hazira in the State of Gujarat, on the bank of river

Tapti,  15 Kms from Surat city  on Surat – Hazira State Highway.

Project Title

“Study on Working Capital Management of Krishak Bharti Cooperative Ltd”

Research Methodology

TITLE OF THE PROJECT

Study on Working Capital Management of Krishak Bharti Cooperative Ltd.,

Hazira, Surat.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

To know the liquidity / solvency position of Krishak Bharti Cooperative Ltd.

To know the requirement of working capital in KRIBHCO Ltd.

To know the current asset policy of KRIBHCO Ltd.

Findings

o As per the analysis it was found that the KRIBHCO’s Gross Working Capital

is declining in past three years.

o Same way the Net Working Capital also declining for past three years.

o Net Operating Cycle if KRIBHCO is also decline as compare to past two

years rather it decline year after year.

o Although liquidity ratios are decline but they are still in deal condition.

1

Page 2: New Report

o Inventory turnover ratio is improving year after year. This is very good for the

company the inventories are not kept idle for long.

o Debtors turnover ratio is also improving or increasing. Which indicate as the

year passes the debtors as become more liquid.

o Creditor turnover ratio is also improving year after year which means now the

firm enjoyed more credit period by paying its creditors.

o Working capital turnover ratio also improving it means Net Working Capital

requirement for Sales is decreases.

o Looking at CA/FA ratio it would be said that the company is following

conservative policy but decrease in the ratio year after year it indicate the

company moving towards aggressive policy.

Suggestions

According to the study it would said the although the net working capital of

company decreasing the company is still in good position because the

operating cycle of the company is decrease it means now the cycle become

speedier and early and fast recovery of cash it denote.

Looking At the current ratio it getting decrease year after year but company

still in ideal position means liquidity position of company is still better but they

have to be careful about this declining trend of current ratio if this would

continue then it would be difficult for company to meet its obligation against

current liabilities.

The turnover ratios are showing good progress these means better liquidity

and solvency of the company.

Working capital turnover ratio is improving it means now the company

required less working capital for sale. It denotes that as compare to earlier

now the company required less working capital. It means optimum use of

working capital.

Overall looking at the study it would said that company have very sound

policy to manage its working capital. Current asset of a company are enough

to meet the obligation of paying its current liabilities.

SWOT ANALYSIS

15

Page 16: New Report

Strength

Kribhco is having Sound financial position.

The Management of Kribhco is very professional.

Kribhco has larger proportion of reserves and surplus and further it has

no debt capital.

Kribhco has long standing reputation in the Indian Fertilizer Market.

Staff of Kribhco is very co-operative and hard working.

Kribhco is having skilled employees staff.

Good cooperation between employees.

Kribhco is having own Training Centre for training of employees as well

as apprentice students of different discipline.

It is having a full support of the Government of India.

Kribhco having strong and wide marketing network towards country.

High Production capacity of Kribhco leads to low production cost.

Savings in Production cost because Kribhco is having own Nitrogen

and Ammonia Plant.

Capacity Utilization more than 100%.

Still the starting of production, Kribhco plant has no major break down

in Plant.

Kribhco has extra land and fully developed infrastructure facilities so it

can be further developed.

Thus, we can say that the position of Kribhco in the Fertilizer Market is

Satisfactory.

16

Page 17: New Report

Weaknesses

Government interference in the management is more comparatively

private units.

Due to Government’s interference it takes longer time in decision

making. So the decisions delayed and thus sometimes bias decision

are also taken.

Kribhco is having overstaffing.

Kribhco is having no debt capital so the advantage leverage can not be

taken.

Opportunities

Investment in Oman Project will raise the profit of Kribhco.

Expansion of existing plant at Hazira.

Look for newer Market with diversified product.

Diversifying the business.

Threats

The price of the Row material, i.e. Natural Gas, is increasing

continuously.

There is a chance of sharp reduction in Government subsidy in near

future.

Kribhco is having very little market share.

In the era of Free Trade, the import of fertilizers may affect the business

of the Kribhco.

INTRODUCTION OF STUDY

Every business firm requires certain amount of working capital to carry out its day to day activities. Indeed each firm differs in its requirement of working capital.

We know that each firm aims at maximizing the wealth of shareholders and to maximize shareholder’s wealth a firm should be earn sufficient return from its operations. Earning a steady amount of profit requires successful sales actively. And there is always an operation cycle involved in the conversion of sales in to cash.

The return on investment is the product of earning as a percentage of sales and turnover of an asset that produced these sales the two tire approach concentrate attention on the separable forces contributing to profile.

Thus, profitability is determined by administration of funds by any other factors. In fact one of the central tasks of financial management is to control and accelerate funds availability and generate higher sales per unit of assets. Given the number of times average investments is turned over, it is evident that higher the velocity, the larger is the return on capital employed and more efficient the firm is in utilizing its resources.

Thus, most of the companies aim at managing its day to day financial requirements. This emphasis significant of working capital.

By B. A Ranjith Appuhami

The Impact of Firms' Capital Expenditure on Working Capital Management

The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of firms' capital

expenditure on their working capital management. The author used the data

colleted from listed companies in the Thailand Stock Exchange. The study used

Shulman and Cox's (1985) Net Liquidity Balance and Working Capital

Requirement as a proxy for working capital measurement and developed multiple

regression models. The empirical research found that firms' capital expenditure

has a significant impact on working capital management. The study also found

that the firms' operating cash flow, which was recognized as a control variable,

has a significant relationship with working capital management, which is

consistent with findings of previous similar researches. The findings enhance the

knowledge base of working capital management and will help companies

manage working capital efficiently in growing situations associated with capital

expenditure.

Here in this article it is stated that company’s Net Working Capital is the only

parameter that the banker would judge while issuing short term loan to the

company. From a banker's perspective, NWC represents the owner's equity in

these working assets, and up to a point, that is a good thing.

NWC and sales growth. One way to gauge the appropriateness of NWC is to

relate it to sales. After all, working capital investment is a prerequisite to growing

sales. Increasing the inventory depth and breadth creates more customer appeal.

Extending more liberal credit terms helps the company sell to more customers.

Thus, sales growth usually requires more working capital.

Working capital intensity: The analysis here evaluates the trends in the issuer’s key

working capital indicators like Receivables, Inventory and Creditors, again with respect

to industry peers. Timely availability of subsidy can influence the liquidity position of the

fertilizer manufacturers. As the subsidy as a percentage of the normative cost of sales

has been rising in the recent past because of rise in feedstock prices and lack of

commensurate rise in the FGP, any delays in the receipt of subsidy can squeeze the

liquidity position of the companies in this sector. In the recent past there have been

delays by GOI with regard to payment of subsidy, on account of inadequate provision in

the Union Budget for subsidy, which has had to be subsequently revised upwards with a

time lag. GOI has also resorted to part payment of subsidy through fertilizer bonds, and

fertilizer manufacturers have had difficulties in liquidating the same in the market in the

absence of SLR status. Changes in the interest rates in the market have also influenced

the current value of these bonds, requiring provisioning in an era of rising interest rate.

In such a scenario, high financial flexibility in the form of ability to raise resources to the

extent warranted by the delays in release of subsidy can help the liquidity position of the

companies.

THEORITICAL

BACKGROUND

33

Page 34: New Report

Working capital, also known as "WC", is a financial metric which represents

operating liquidity available to a business. Along with fixed assets such as plant

and equipment, working capital is considered a part of operating capital. It is

calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. If current assets are less

than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also called a

working capital deficit. Net working capital is working capital minus cash (which

is a current asset) and minus interest bearing liabilities (i.e. short term debt). It is

a derivation of working capital, that is commonly used in valuation techniques

such as DCFs (Discounted cash flows).

Working Capital = Current Assets − Current Liabilities

A company can be endowed with assets and profitability but short of liquidity if its

assets cannot readily be converted into cash. Positive working capital is required

to ensure that a firm is able to continue its operations and that it has sufficient

funds to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational

expenses. The management of working capital involves managing inventories,

accounts receivable and payable and cash.

Decisions relating to working capital and short term financing are referred to as

working capital management. These involve managing the relationship between a

firm's short-term assets and its short-term liabilities. 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.

Management of working capital

Guided by the above criteria, management will use a combination of policies and

techniques for the management of working capital. These policies aim at

34

Page 35: New Report

managing the current assets (generally cash and cash equivalents, inventories

and debtors) and the short term financing, such that cash flows and returns are

acceptable.

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

minimizes reordering costs - and hence increases cash flow; see Supply

chain management; Just In Time (JIT); Economic order quantity (EOQ);

Economic production quantity

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. Identify the appropriate source of financing, given the

cash conversion cycle: the inventory is ideally financed by credit granted by

the supplier; however, it may be necessary to utilize a bank loan (or

overdraft), or to "convert debtors to cash" through "factoring".

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

There are two concept of working capital – Gross and Net working capital.

Gross working capital refers to the firm’s investment in current assets.

Current assets are the assets which can be converted in cash within an

accounting year and include cash, short-term securities, debtors, bills

receivable, and stock (inventory).

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 payables and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can

be positive or negative. Positive net working capital will arise when current

assets exceeds current liabilities. A negative net working capital will arise

when current liabilities excess of current assets.

Operating Cycle

Operating cycle is the time duration required to convert sales, after conversion of

resources into inventories, into cash. The operating cycle of manufacturing

company involves three phases:

Acquisition of resources such as raw material, labour, power, and fuel etc.

Manufacturing of the product which includes conversion of raw material into

work in-progress into finished goods.

Sale of product either for cash or on credit. Credit sales create account

receivable for collection.

How length of operating cycle is determined?

The length of operating cycle of manufacturing firm is the sum of :

I. Inventory conversion period (ICP).

II. Debtors (receivable) conversion period (DCP).

The Inventory conversion period (ICP) is the total time needed for producing

and selling the product. Typically, it includes: (A) Raw Material Conversion

Period (RMCP), (B) Work-in-progress conversion period (WIPCP), and (C)

Finished goods conversion period (FGCP).

The Debtors conversion period (DCP) is the time required to collect the

outstanding amount from the customers.

The total of inventory conversion period and debtors conversion period is referred

to as Gross Operating Cycle.

39

Page 40: New Report

The Creditors (Payable) deferral period (CDP) is the length of time the firm is

able to defer the payments on various resource purchases.

The difference between Gross operating cycle and Creditors deferral period is the

Net Operating Cycle.

GOC = ICP + DCP

ICP = RMCP + WIPCP + FGCP

NOC = GOC – CDP

RMCP = Raw material Inventory .

1.    RATIO ANALYSIS

A ratio is a simple arithmetical expression one number to another. The

technique of ratio analysis can be employed for measuring short-term

liquidity or working capital position of a firm. The following ratios can be

calculated for these purposes:

1. Current ratio.

2. Quick ratio

3.  Absolute liquid ratio

4.  Inventory turnover.

5.  Receivables turnover.

6.  Payable turnover ratio.

7.  Working capital turnover ratio.

8.  Working capital leverage

43

Page 44: New Report

1.   CURRENT RATIO

Current Ratio, also known as working capital ratio is a measure of general

liquidity and its most widely used to make the analysis of short-term financial

position or liquidity of a firm. It is defined as the relation between current

assets and current liabilities. Thus,

Current Ratio = Current assets

Current Liabilities

The two components of this ratio are:

1)     CURRENT ASSETS

2)     CURRENT LIABILITES

Current assets include cash, marketable securities, bill receivables, sundry

debtors, inventories and work-in-progresses. Current liabilities include

outstanding expenses, bill payable, dividend payable etc.

A relatively high current ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the

ability to pay its current obligations in time. On the hand a low current ratio

represents that the liquidity position of the firm is not good and the firm shall

not be able to pay its current liabilities in time. A ratio equal or near to the rule

of thumb of 2:1 i.e. current assets double the current liabilities is considered to

be satisfactory.

Interpretation

This shows that the current ratio of KRIBHCO is shrinking as the compare to

previous years. But still the ratio is on ideal position.

2. QUICK RATIO

Quick ratio is a more rigorous test of liquidity than current ratio. Quick ratio may

be defined as the relationship between quick/liquid assets and current or liquid

liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash with a short

period without loss of value. It measures the firms’ capacity to pay off current

obligations immediately.

Quick Ratio = Quick assets

Current Liabilities

Where quick assets are

Current assets – Stock (Inventory)

45

Page 46: New Report

A high ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the ability to meet its

current liabilities in time and on the other hand a low quick ratio represents that

the firms’ liquidity position is not good.

As a rule of thumb ratio of 1:1 is considered satisfactory. It is generally thought

that if quick assets are equal to the current liabilities then the concern may be

able to meet its short-term obligations. However, a firm having high quick ratio

may not have a satisfactory liquidity position if it has slow paying debtors. On the

other hand, a firm having a low liquidity position if it has fast moving inventories.

46

Page 47: New Report

B) Current assets movement ratios

Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and earn

profits. The efficiency with which assets are managed directly affects the volume

of sales. The better the management of assets, large is the amount of sales and

profits. Current assets movement ratios measure the efficiency with which a firm

manages its resources. These ratios are called turnover ratios because they

indicate the speed with which assets are converted or turned over into sales.

Depending upon the purpose, a number of turnover ratios can be calculated.

These are :

1.                 Inventory Turnover Ratio

2.                 Debtors Turnover Ratio

3.                 Creditors Turnover Ratio

4.                 Working Capital Turnover Ratio

The current ratio and quick ratio give misleading results if current assets include

high amount of debtors due to slow credit collections and moreover if the assets

include high amount of slow moving inventories. As both the ratios ignore the

movement of current assets, it is important to calculate the turnover ratio.

47

Page 48: New Report

1. INVENTORY TURNOVER OR STOCK TURNOVER RATIO :

Every firm has to maintain a certain amount of inventory of finished goods so as

to meet the requirements of the business. But the level of inventory should

neither be too high nor too low. Because it is harmful to hold more inventory as

some amount of capital is blocked in it and some cost is involved in it. It will

therefore be advisable to dispose the inventory as soon as possible.

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO =      COST OF GOOD SOLD

                                                     AVERAGE INVENTORY

Inventory turnover ratio measures the speed with which the stock is converted

into sales. Usually a high inventory ratio indicates an efficient management of

inventory because more frequently the stocks are sold ; the lesser amount of

money is required to finance the inventory. Where as low inventory turnover ratio

indicates the inefficient management of inventory. A low inventory turnover

implies over investment in inventories, dull business, poor quality of goods, stock

accumulations and slow moving goods and low profits as compared to total

investment.

3.  DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO :

A concern may sell its goods on cash as well as on credit to increase its sales

and a liberal credit policy may result in tying up substantial funds of a firm in the

form of trade debtors. Trade debtors are expected to be converted into cash

within a short period and are included in current assets. So liquidity position of a

concern also depends upon the quality of trade debtors. Two types of ratio can

be calculated to evaluate the quality of debtors.

a)       Debtors Turnover Ratio

b)      Average Collection Period

DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO = TOTAL SALES (CREDIT)

                                                         AVERAGE DEBTORS

Debtor’s velocity indicates the number of times the debtors are turned over during

a year. Generally higher the value of debtor’s turnover ratio the more efficient is

the management of debtors/sales or more liquid are the debtors. Whereas a low

debtors turnover ratio indicates poor management of debtors/sales and less liquid

debtors. This ratio should be compared with ratios of other firms doing the same

business and a trend may be found to make a better interpretation of the ratio.

Debtor’s velocity indicates the number of times the debtors are turned over during

a year. It means time taken to convert debtors into cash. Here higher ratio

indicates more liquid are the debtors.

4. AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD :

Average Collection Period =    No. of Working Days

                                             Debtors Turnover Ratio

The average collection period ratio represents the average number of days for

which a firm has to wait before its receivables are converted into cash. It

measures the quality of debtors. Generally, shorter the average collection period

the better is the quality of debtors as a short collection period implies quick

payment by debtors and vice-versa.

Interpretation

It signifies the credit period enjoyed by the firm in paying creditors. Here the ratio

is increase year after year which is good for the company and company has to

enjoy keeping money more time with itself.

6. Average Payment Period:

Average payment period ratio gives the average credit period enjoyed from the

creditors.

Average Payment Period = Trade Creditors / Average Daily Credit Purchase]

[Average Daily Credit Purchase= Credit Purchase / No. of working days in a

year]

The average payment period ratio represents the number of days by the firm to

pay its creditors. A high creditors turnover ratio or a lower credit period ratio

signifies that the creditors are being paid promptly. This situation enhances the

credit worthiness of the company. However a very favorable ratio to this effect

also shows that the business is not taking the full advantage of credit facilities

allowed by the creditors.

7. 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.

Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of utilization of net working

capital. This ratio indicates the number of times the working capital is turned over

in the course of the year. This ratio measures the efficiency with which the

working capital is used by the firm. A higher ratio indicates efficient utilization of

working capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise. But a very high working

capital turnover is not a good situation for any firm.

This ratio indicates low much net working capital requires for sales. In 2009-10,

the reciprocal of this ratio (1/2.02 = .50) shows that for sales of Rs. 1 the

company requires 50 paisa as working capital. In 2008-09 for sale of Rs. 1 the

company requires 70 paisa as working capital. In 2007-08 for sale of Rs. 1 the

company requires 95 paisa as working capital. Thus this ratio is helpful to

forecast the working capital requirement on the basis of sale.

Current Assets Policy

The level of current assets can be measured by relating current assets to fixed

assets. Dividing Current assets by fixed assets gives CA/FA ratio. Assuming a

constant level of fixed assets, a higher the CA/FA ratio indicates a conservative

current assets policy, a lower the CA/FA ratio indicates aggressive current assets

policy assuming other factors to be constant. A conservative policy implies

greater liquidity and lower risk while aggressive current assets policy implies

higher risk and poor liquidity. Moderate current assets policy fall in middle of

conservative and aggressive policies.

Page 58: New Report

Findings

As per the analysis it was found that the KRIBHCO’s Gross Working Capital is

declining in past three years. In 2009-10 as compare to previous year i.e.

2008-09 it is declining about 15 percent. And 37 percent decline as compare

to 2007-08.

Same way the Net Working Capital also declining for past three years. At

present in 2009-10 the Net Working Capital is decline about 24 percent as

compare to previous year 2008-09. And 40 percent as compare to 2007-08.

Current Liabilities increase as compare to past two years. At present in 2009-

10 the current liabilities increase by 7 percent as compare to previous year

2008-09. And 13 percent increase as compare to 2007-08.

Gross Operating Cycle of the KRIBHCO is declining as compare to past two

years i.e. in 2007-08 it was 203 days; in 2008-09 it was 113 days and in

2009-10 it is 63 days.

Net Operating Cycle if KRIBHCO is also decline as compare to past two years

rather it decline year after year i.e. in 2007-08 it was 168 days; in 2008-09 it

was 93 days and in 2009-10 it is 42 days.

Current ratio of a company is shrinking as compare to previous two years i.e.

3.71 in 2007-08 to 3.61 in 2008-09 to 2.48 in 2009-10. But it is still on its ideal

condition.

58

Page 59: New Report

Same way quick ratio is also decline year after year i.e. in 2007-08 it was 3.28

and in 2008-09 it was 2.72 and in 2009-10 it is 2.27. But it is still over and

above the ideal and satisfactory level so no need to worry about.

Inventory turnover ratio is improving year after year i.e. in 2007-08 it was 8.41

times and in 2008-09 it was 13.22 times and in 2009-10 it is 17.21 times.

This is very good for the company the inventories are not kept idle for long.

The conversion period of an inventory also decline i.e. in 2007-08 it is 43.40

days, and in 2008-09 it is 27.61 days, and in 2009-10 it is 21.20 days. So we

can say that conversion of raw material to finished goods is become speedier

as the turnover ratio increase.

Debtors turnover ratio is also improving or increasing as we can see that in

2007-08 ratio is 2.88 times and in2008-09 ratio is 3 times and in 2009-10

ratio is 4.9 times. Which indicate as the year passes the debtors as become

more liquid.

Same way the average collection period is also decreases mean in 2007-08 it

was 126.74 days and in 2008-09 it was 121.67 days and in 2009-10 it move

drastically i.e. 74.48 days. So we can say that improvement over pervious

year is remarkable.

Creditor turnover ratio is also improving year after year which means now the

firm enjoyed more credit period by paying its creditors. In 2007-08 it was

11.66 times and in 2008-09 it was 15.40 times and in 2009-10 it is 17.40

times.

Working capital turnover ratio also improving it means Net Working Capital

requirement for Sales is decreases. In 2007-08 it was 1.05 and in 2008-09 it

was 1.43 and in 2009-10 it is 2.02; which means for sale of Rs. 1, The

company require in 2007-08 it was 95 paisa and in 2008-09 it was 70 paisa

and in 2009-10 it was 50 paisa, which is quite less then the previous two

years.

Looking at CA/FA ratio it would be said that the company is following

conservative policy but decrease in the ratio year after year it indicate the

company moving towards aggressive policy. As it is seen in 2007-08 ratio is

5.03, in 2008-09 ratio is 4.36 and in 2009-10 ratio is 3.44

Suggestions

According to the study it would said the although the net working capital of

company decreasing the company is still in good position because the

operating cycle of the company is decrease it means now the cycle become

speedier and early and fast recovery of cash it denote.

Looking At the current ratio it getting decrease year after year but company

still in ideal position means liquidity position of company is still better but they

have to be careful about this declining trend of current ratio if this would

continue then it would be difficult for company to meet its obligation against

current liabilities.

The turnover ratios are showing good progress these means better liquidity

and solvency of the company.

61

Page 62: New Report

Working capital turnover ratio is improving it means now the company

required less working capital for sale. It denotes that as compare to earlier

now the company required less working capital. It means optimum use of

working capital.

Overall looking at the study it would said that company have very sound policy

to manage its working capital. Current asset of a company are enough to

meet the obligation of paying its current liabilities.
