Working Capital Management Working capital is the capital available for conducting the day –to-day operations of an organization; normally the excess of current assets over current liabilities.

Working Capital • Working capital is how much in liquid assets that a company has on hand. Working capital is needed to pay for planned and unexpected expenses, meet the short-term obligations of the business, and to build the business. • A lack of working capital makes it hard to attract investors or to get business loans or obtain credit.
Current Assets and Current Liabilities • The net working capital of a business is its current assets less its current liabilities Current Assets include: • Stocks of raw materials (inventory) • Work-in-progress • Finished goods • Trade debtors ( Account receivables) • Prepayments • Cash balances Current Liabilities include: • Trade creditors( account payables) • Accruals • Taxation payable • Dividends payable • Short term loans
Working Capital Ratios • Two types of ratio under working capital, Liquidity ratios, operating cycle ratios. • Liquidity ratios • Current ratio= Current assts/ current liabilities • Quick ratio( acid test)= Current assets-inventory/current liabilities
Liquid ratios for 2010 • Current ratio: 74/46 = 1.6 The Quick ( or acid test ratio): 72-42 /46 = 0.7
Activity 1 • Calculate current and quick ratio for year 2011. Through using cheat sheet.
Operating cycle ratio’s • The cash operating cycle is the length of time between the company’s outlay on raw materials, wages and other expenditures and the inflow of cash from the sales of goods. • The faster a firm can push items around the cycle the lower its investment in working capital will be • The periods used to determine the cash operating cycle are calculated by using a series of working capital ratios. • Account turnover ratio in days Account receivables / credit sales x 365 • 29000/ 209000 x365 = 50.6 days or 51 days. • Inventory turnover ratio in days • Average inventory/cost of good sold x 365 • (1/2( 37 +42) x365/ 157 = 92 days
