Short-term Financial decisions – NWC policies. Flexible or Restrictive policy • The size of the firm’s investment in current assets is determined by its NWC financial policies. • Flexible policy actions include: • keeping large cash and securities’ balances; • keeping large amounts of inventory; • granting liberal credit terms. • Restrictive policy actions include: • keeping low cash and securities’ balances; • keeping small amounts of inventory; • allowing few or no credit sales.
Costs of Investments in Working Capital • Need to manage the trade-off between carrying costs and shortage costs. • Carrying costs increase with the level of investment in current assets, and include the costs of maintaining economic value and opportunity costs. • Shortage costs decrease with increases in the level of investment in current assets, and include trading costs and the costs related to being short of the current asset. • For example, sales lost as a result of a shortage of finished goods inventory.
