CHAPTER-II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 CASH MANAGEMENT:

Cash management is one of the key areas of working capital management. A part from

the fact that it is the most liquid current assets, cash is the common denomination to which all

current assets can be reduced because the other major liquid assets that are receivables and

inventory get eventually converted into cash.

2.2 MOTICES FOR HOLDING CASH:

Page 16: Cash Management

The term cash with reference to cash management is used in the two senses.

2.2.1 NARROW SENSES:

To cover currency and generally accepted equivalents of cash, such as cheque, drafts and

demand deposits in bank.

2.2.2 BROAD SENSES:

It includes near –cash, assets such as marketable securities and time deposits in bank.

There are four primary motives for maintaining cash balances.

Transaction motives.

Precautionary motives.

Speculative motives.

Compensating motives.

A, TRANSACTION MOTIVES:

An important reason for maintain cash balance is the transaction motive. This refers to

the holding of cash to meet routine cash requirements to finance the transactions which a firm

carries on the ordinary course of business.

B, PRECAUTIONARY MOTIVES:

It will clearly determine the cash inflows and outflows in the ordinary course of business,

a firm may have to pay cash for purposes which cannot be predicted or anticipated.

C, SEPCULATIVE MOTIVE:

It refers to the desire of a firm to take advantage of opportunities which present

themselves at unexpected moments and which are typically outside the normal course of

business.

D, COMPENSATIVE MOTIVE:

Page 17: Cash Management

Bank provides a variety of service of business firms, such as clearance of cheque, of

credit information, transfer of funds.

2.3 OBJECTIVE OF CASH MANAGEMENT:

The basic objective of cash management is two-fold.

To meet the cash disbursement needs (payment schedule) and.

To minimize funds committed to cash balance.

Meet payments schedule:

Firms have to make payments of cash on a continuous and regular basis to suppliers of

goods, employees. At the same time, there is a constant inflow of cash through collections from

debtors.

Minimizing funds committed to cash balance:

In minimizing the cash balance

2.4 FACTORS DETERMING CASH MEEDS:

The factors that determine the required cash balance are.

A SYNCHRONIZATION OF CASH FLOWS.

The need for maintaining cash balance arises from the non- synchronization of the

inflows and outflows of cash. If the receipts and payments pf cash perfectly coincide or balance

each other, there would be no need for cash balances. The first consideration in determining the

cash need is, therefore, the extent of non – synchronization of cash receipts and disbursements.

For the purpose, the inflows and outflows have to be forecast over a period of time, depending

upon the planning horizon which is typically a one-year period with each of the 12months

B, SHORT COST.

Another general factor to be considered in determining cash needs is the cost associated

with a shortfall in the cash needs. The cash forecast presented in the cash budget would reveal

periods of cash shortages. In addition, there, may be some unexpected shortfall. Every shortage

of cash whether expected or unexpected- involves a cast depending upon the severity, duration

and frequency of the shortfall and how the shortage is covered.

Page 18: Cash Management

TRANSACTION COSTS:

Transaction costs are associated with raising cash to tide over the shortage. This is

usually the brokerage incurred in relation to the sale of some short-tern near-cash assets such as

marketable securities.

BORROWING COSTS:

Borrowing costs associated with borrowing to cover the shortage. These include items

such as interest on loan, commitment charge and other expense relating to the loan.

C LOST OF CASH –DISCOUNT:

Lost of cash-discount a substantial loss because of a temporary shortage of cash.

D, COST ASSOCIATED WITH DETERIORATION OF THE CREDIT RATING:

Cost associated with deterioration of the credit rating which is reflected in shortage of

cash charges on loans, stoppage of supplies, demands for cash payment, refusal to sell, loss of

image and the attendant decline in sales and profits.

E, PENALTY RATES:

Penalty rates by banks to meet a shortfall in compensating balances.

F, EXCESS CASH BALANCE COSTS:

The cost of having excessively large cash balances is known as the excess cash balances

cost. If large funds are idle, the implication is that the firm has missed opportunities to invest

those funds and has thereby lost interest which it would otherwise have earned. This loss of

interest is primarily the excess cost.

G, PROCUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT:

These are the costs associated with establishing and operating cash management staff and

activities. They are generally fixed and are mainly accounted for but salary, shortage, handling of

securities and so on.

Page 19: Cash Management

H, UNCERTAINTY AND CASH MANAGEMENT:

Finally, the impact of uncertainty on cash management strategy us also relevant as cash flows

cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. The first requirement is a precautionary cushion to

cope with irregularities in cash flows, unexpected delays in collections and disbursements,

defaults and unexpected cash needs.

The impact of uncertainty on cash management can, however, is mitigated through.

Improved forecasting of tax payments, capital expenditure, dividends and so on.

Increased ability to borrow through overdraft facility.

2.5 DETERMINE CASH NEED:

There are two approaches to derive on optimal cash balances, namely

Minimizing cost cash model,

Cash budget.

2.5.1 CASH MANAGEMENT:

The following are the analytical model for cash management

Baumol model

Miller-orr model

Orgler’s model.

A, BAUMOL MODEL:

The purpose of this model is to determine the minimizing cost amount of cash that a

financial manager can obtain by converting securities to cash.

They are two elements

Conversion cost

Opportunity cost

CONVERSION COST:

Conversion costs are incurred each time marketable securities are converted into cash.

Page 20: Cash Management

Total conversion cost per period = Tb\c

Where,

b = cost per conversion.

T = total transaction cash need for the period.

C = value of marketable security sold to each conversion.

OPPORTUNITY COST:

Opportunity cost is derived from the cost\forfeited interest rate (i) that could have been

earned on the investment of cash balance.

I (c\2)

Where,

c\2= the average cash balance

(i)=interest rate that could have been earned.

i(c\2)+(Tb\c)

B, MILLER- ORR MODEL:

To determine the optimum cash balance level which minimizes the cost of cash

management.

C=bE (n)\t+iE (M)

Where,

b = the fixed cost per conversion.

E (M) = the expected average daily cash balance.

E (N) = the expected number of conversion.

t = the number of days in the period.

(i) = the lost opportunity cost.

C = total cash management costs

C, ORGLER’S MODEL:

Page 21: Cash Management

According this model, an optimal cash management strategy can be determined through

the use of a multiple linear programme model. The construction of the model comprises three

sections

Selection of the appropriate planning horizon.

Selection of the appropriate decision variables and

Formulation of the cash management strategy itself.

The advantage of linear programming model is that it enables coordinates of the optimal

cash management strategy with the other operations of the firm such as production and with less

restriction on working capital balances.

The model basically uses one year planning horizon with twelve monthly periods because

of its simplicity. It has four basic sets of decisions variables which influence cash management of

a firm and which must be incorporated into the linear programming model of the firm. These are

Payment schedules.

Short-term financing.

Purchase and sale of marketable securities and

Cash balance.

The formulation of the model requires the financial managers first specify an objective

function and then specify a set of constraints.

Orgler’s objectives function is to minimize the horizon value to the net revenues from the

cash budget over the entire planning period; using the assumption that all revenues generated are

immediately re-invested and that any cost is immediately financed, the objective function

represented the value of the net income from the cash budget at the horizon by adding the net

returns over the planning period. Thus, the objective function recognizes each operation of the

firm that generated cash inflow or cash outflows as adding pr subtracting profit opportunities for

the firm from its cash management operations. In the objective function, decision variables

which cause inflows, such as payments on receivables, have positive coefficient.

Page 22: Cash Management

2.6 TECHNIQUES OR TOOLS OF CASH MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS:

The most important techniques of analysis and interpretation of cash management are us follows.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT.

CASH BUDGETING

RATIO ANALYSIS.

1 CASH FLOW STATEMENT:

A cash flow statement is used in conjunction with the other financial statements, provides

information that enables users to evaluate the change in net assets of an enterprise, its financial

structure (including its liquidity and solvency), and its ability to affect the amounts and timing

of cash flow in order to adapt to changing circumstance and opportunities. Cash flow

information is useful in assessing the ability of the enterprises to generate cash and cash-

equivalents and enables users to develop models to assess and compare the present value of the

future cash flows of different enterprises. It also enhances the comparability of the reporting of

operating performance by different because it eliminates the effects of using different accounting

treatments for the same transactions and events

Page 23: Cash Management

1.1 MEANING OF CASH STATEMENT:

A cash flow statement is a statement depicting change in cash position from one period to

another. A proper planning of the cash resource will enables the management to have cash

available whenever needed and put it to some profitable or productive use in case there is surplus

cash available.

1.2 UTILITY OF CASH FLOW ANALYSIS:

A cash flow statement is useful for short-term planning. A business enterprise needs

sufficient cash to meet its various obligations in the near future such as payment for purchase of

fixed assets, payment of debts maturing in the near future, expenses of the business etc. a cash

flow analysis is an important financial tool for the management. Its chief advantage is as follows.

Helps in efficient cash management.

Helps in internal financial management.

Discloses the movement of cash.

Discloses success or failure of cash.

1.3 LIMITATION OF CASH FLOW STATEMENT:

Cash flow analysis is a useful tool of financial analysis. However, it has its own

limitation.

Cash flow statement cannot be equated with the income statement.

The cash balance as disclosed by the cash flow statement may not represent the real

liquid position of the business.

Cash flow statement cannot replace the income statement or the fund flow statement.

2 RATIO ANALYSES:

An analysis of financial statements based on ratios is known as ratio analysis. Ratio

analysis involves the process of computing determining and resenting the relationship of items or

group of items of financial statements. Ratio analysis is a widely – used tool of financial

analysis. It can be used to compare the risk and return relationship of firms of different sizes. It is

defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strengths

and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can

be determined. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two

items.

Page 25: Cash Management

2.1 ADVANTAGE OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

The advantages of ratio analysis are as follows.

1. Forecasting.

2. Managerial control.

3. Facilitates communications.

4. Measuring efficiency.

5. Facilitating investment decisions

6. Useful in measuring financial solvency.

7. Inter firm comparisons

2.2 STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS:

Selection of relevant information.

Comparison of calculated ratios.

Interpretation and reporting.

2.3 LIMITATION OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

The analyst should have a through knowledge and experience about the firm and

industry.

Ratios are not an end in themselves but they are means to achieve a particular purpose or

end.

Ratios are interred- related and therefore a single ratio cannot convey meaning. It has to

be interpreted with reference to other related to draw meaningful conclusions.

Ratio will be meaningful if they can be compared with standards or norms.

Ratio analysis will be fruitful only if the conclusions are conveyed quickly to the

management.

Ratio analysis becomes redundant during periods of heavy price

Fluctuations.

2.4 NET WORKING CAPITAL:

MEANING: This ratio establishes the relationship between cost of sales and working capital.

Page 26: Cash Management

SIGNIFICANCE:

Working capital measures the effective utilization of working capital. It also

measures the smooth running of business. Net working capital represents the excess of

current assets over current liabilities. The term current assets refers to assets which in the

normal course of business get converted into cash without dimunition in value over a

short period ,usually not exceeding one year or length of operation cycle whichever is

more. The greater is the amount of net working capital, the greater is the liquidity of the

firm, accordingly net working capital is a measure of liquidity, and inadequate working

capital is the first sign of financial problem for a firm.

COMPONENTS:

The components of working capital ratio are current assets and current liabilities.

FORMULA:

This ratio is calculated with the help of the following formula.

Net Work capital = current assets - Current liabilities

2.5 CURRENT RATIO:

MEANINGS:

This ratio expresses the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.

SIGNIFICANCE:

The liquidity position of any company is easily measured with the help of current ratio.

The current ratio is the ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities. It’s

calculated by divided current assets by current liabilities.

Page 27: Cash Management

The current assets of a firm, as already stated, represent that asset which can be, in

the ordinary course of business, converted into cash within a short period of time

normally not exceeding one year.

COMPONENTS:

The components of currents assets of the firm are cash at bank, deposits, sundry debtors

and closing stock. The components of current liabilities are sundry creditors and provision for

Income Tax.

FORMULA:

Current ratio = Current assets

Current Liabilities

2.6 DEBTORS’ TURNOVER RATIO:

MEANINGS:

This ratio determines the debtors constitute of current assets and therefore the quality of

debtors to great extent determines a firm’s liquidity.

SIGNIFICANCE:

This ratio helps in cash budgeting since the flow of cash from customers can be worked

out on the basis of sales. It is determine by dividing the net credit sales by average debtors

outstanding during the year. Thus, net credit sales consist of gross credit sales minus returns, if

any, from customer’s average debtors is the simple average of debtors (including bills

receivables) at the beginning and at the end of the year

COMPONENTS:

Page 28: Cash Management

The components of Debtors Turnover Ratio are the Credit Sales and the Average Accounts

Receivable.

FORMULA:

Debtors’ turnover ratio = Credit sales

Average Accounts Receivables

2.7 STOCK TURNOVER RATIO:

MEANINGS:

This ratio indicates whether investment in inventory is efficiently used or not. It therefore,

explains whether investments in inventories is within proper limits

B SIGNIFICANCE:

The ratio is measure to discover the possible trouble in the form of overstocking

or overvaluation. The stock position is known as the graveyard of the balance sheet It is

computed by divided the cost of good sold by the average inventory thus, the cost of

good sold means sales minus gross profit. The average inventory refers to the simple

average of the opening and closing inventory. The ratio indicated how fast inventory is

sold.

COMPONENTS:

The component of Stock Turnover Ratio is determined by the Cost of Goods Sold during the

Year and the Average Inventory.

FORMULA:

Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold During the Year

Page 29: Cash Management

Average Inventory

2.8 LIQUID RATIO:

MEANING:

The ratio expresses the relationship between liquid assets and current liabilities of the

firm. It is otherwise known as absolute liquid ratio or quick ratio.

SIGNIFICANCE:

It is a measure of judging the immediate ability of the firm to pay – off its current

obligations. The quick test ratio is the ratio between quick current ratio and current

liabilities and is calculated by dividing the quick assets by the current liabilities.

The term quick assets refers to current assets which can be converted into cash

immediately or at a short notice without diminution of value

COMPONENTS:

All the components of current assets are included except stock and prepaid expenses and

the various components of currents liabilities are same as the items included in current ratio.

FORMULA:

Liquid ratio can be calculated as follows.

Liquid Ratio = Liquid assets

Current Liabilities

Liquid assets - (Stock + Prepaid Expenses)

Page 30: Cash Management

2.9 CREDITOR’S TURNOVER RATIO:

It indicates the speed with which the payment for credit purchase are made to the

creditors

A low turnover ratio reflects liberal credit terms granted by suppliers, while a high ratio

shows that accounts are to be settled rapidly. The creditor’s turnover ratio is an important tool of

analysis as a firm can reduce its requirement of current assets by relying on supplier’s credit. The

extent to which trade creditors are willing to wait for payment can be approximated by the

creditor’s turnover ratio.

It is a ratio between net credit purchase and the average amount of creditors

outstanding during the year. A low turnover ratio reflects liberal credit terms granted by

suppliers, while a high ratio shows that account are to be settled rapidly. The creditor’s

turnover ratio is an important tool of analysis as a firm can reduce its requirement of

current assets by relying on supplier’s credit.

Creditors turnover ratio = credit purchase

Average account payable.

3 CASH BUDGETING:

A firm is well advised to hold adequate cash balance but should avoid excessive

balances. The firm has, therefore, to assess its need for cash properly. The cash budget is

probably the most important tool in cash management. It is device to help a firm to plan and

control the use of cash. It is a statement showing the estimated cash inflows and cash outflows

Page 31: Cash Management

over the planning horizon. In the other words, the net cash position of a firm as it moves from

one budgeting sub period to another is highlighted by the cash budget.

The various purposes of cash budgets are

To coordinates the timings of cash needs. It identifies the periods when there might either

be as shortage of cash or an abnormally large cash requirement.

It pinpoints the periods when there is likely to be excess cash.

It enables a firm which has sufficient cash to take advantage of cash discounts on its

accounts payable, to pay help obligation when due, to formulate dividend policy, to plan

financing of capital expansion and to help unify the production schedule during the year

so that the firm can smooth out costly seasonal fluctuations.

It helps to arrange needs funds on the most favorable terms and percents the

accumulation for excess funds. With adequate time to study his needs, the finance

manage can select the best alternative avenues of financing, the management would be

forced to accept the best terms offered in a difficult situation. These terms will not be as

favorable, since the lack of planning indicates to the lender, that there is an organizational

deficiency. The firm, therefore, represents a high risk.

Cash budgeting or short-term cash forecasting is the principal tool of cash management.

Estimating cash requirement

Planning short-term financing

Scheduling payments in connection with capital expenditure projects

Planning purchase of materials

Developing credit policies and

Checking the accuracy of long term forecasting

Firms use multiple short-term forecasts of varying length and detail, suited to meet different

needs. The commonly used design for short –term cash forecasts are

One year divided into quarters or monthly.

One quarter divided into months and

One month divided into weeks.

Page 32: Cash Management

3. A RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS METHODS:

The cash budget prepared under this method shows the timing and magnitude of expected

cash receipts and payments over the forecast period. It includes all expected receipts and

payments irrespective of how they are classified in accounting.

3. B LONG –TERM CASH FORECASTING:

Long-term cash forecasting are generally prepared for a period ranging from two to five

years and serve to provide a broad brush picture of a firm’s financing needs and availability of

invertible surplus in future. Such forecasts are helpful in planning capital investment methods

outlays and long-term financing

3. C REPORTS FOR CONTROL:

Cash reports, providing a comparison of actual developments with forecast figures, are

helpful in controlling and revising cash forecasts on a continual basis. Several types of cash

reports may be prepared the important ones are.

DAILY CASH REPORT:

The daily cash report shows the opening balance, receipts, payments and the closing

balance on a daily basis.

DAILY TREASURY REPORT:

An amplification of the daily cash report, the daily treasury report provides a

comprehensive picture of changes in cash, marketable securities, debtors and creditors.

MONTHLY CASH REPORT:

This report shows the actual cash receipts and payments on a monthly basis. The actual

are compared with the budgeted figures and variances calculated.

3. D CASH COLLECTION AND DISBURSEMENT:

The cash balance shown by a firm on its books is called the book, or ledger, balance

whereas the balance shown in its bank account is called the available, or collected, balance. The

difference between the available balance and the ledger balance is referred to as the float.

There are two kinds of float disbursement float and collection float, cheque issued by a firm

create disbursement float.

The net float is the sum of disbursement float and collection float. It is simply the difference

between the firm’s available balance and its book balance. If the net float is positive (negative) it

means that the available balance is greater (lesser) than the book balance.

2.7 BANK ORGANISATION

Prior to the project, the billing process was distributed across different product processors

like (those handling cross border transfer, non resident yen related, mass payments, through post

Page 34: Cash Management

office etc). Wipro’s solution aims to implement a centralized billing system that maximizes

automation.

The transaction details would be pushed from the product processors to the billing system

as an end of day offline process, which will then calculate the charges based on the transaction

type and generate accounting entries. At the end of the billing cycle, customer invoices would be

generated by the system and the customer account debits will take place in the bank host.

Customer information and charge information (fixed, transaction and event based) are

maintained in the billing system. For transactions that require immediate charge calculation, the

billing system's pricing engine would provide the charges in real time.

2.8 CASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A NATIONALIZED BANK

MC De COM proposed a solution to facilitate information flow between various entities

of the Cash Management system. This system enabled a complete Electronic Messaging Solution

for their Branch Offices across the country. This project facilitated the Bank to exchange

information between its CCC (Cheque Collection Centre), FCC (Fund Collection Centre) and

FMC (Fund Management Centre) seamlessly without any delay.

The Bank has its Corporate Office in Bangalore and International transaction center at

Mumbai. The realization of cheque or any cash transactions required a couple of days. This delay

leads to a situation where the Bank was not in a position to get at its head office the transaction

happened at each of its branches or extension counters at.

The head office and the International transaction office faced numerous problems in

terms of managing the cash at various locations. The customers also could not really track the

transaction especially if they are more than one transaction at different places. The Bank thought

of an ambitious program of offering Cash Management Services to its customers across the

country The Customer deposit their cheque at various Cheque Collection Center’s (CCC) across

Page 35: Cash Management

the country and this information is processed and consolidated at the Fund Management Centre

(FMC) located at Mumbai. The FMC will further communicate the processed information to

various Fund Collection Centre (FCC). The Customers can contact directly the Fund Collection

Centre (FCC) to obtain updated information about their funds position as required

DATA ANALYSIS &INTERPRETATION

5.1 CASH FLOW STATEMENT:

A cash flow statement is used in conjunction with the other financial statements,

provides information that enables users to evaluate the change in net assets of an

enterprise, its financial structure (including its liquidity and solvency), and its ability to

affect the amounts and timing of cash flow in order to adapt to changing circumstance

and opportunities. Cash flow information is useful in assessing the ability of the

enterprises to generate cash and cash-equivalents and enables users to develop models to

assess and compare the present value of the future cash flows of different enterprises. It

also enhances the comparability of the reporting of operating performance by different

because it eliminates the effects of using different accounting treatments for the same

transactions and events.

and control the use of cash. It is a statement showing the estimated cash inflows and cash

outflows over the planning horizon. In the other words, the net cash position of a firm as

it moves from one budgeting sub period to another is highlighted by the cash budget
