Period under study (commonly referred as Period): AY 2003 - AY 2008
Period 1 under study (commonly referred as Period-1): AY 2003 - AY 2005
Period 2 under study (commonly referred as Period- 2): AY 2006 - AY 2008
Capital is a scarce commodity today but scarcer it is to find an effective and
efficient mechanism for management of the same. When it comes to
management of capital we may find many a times corporate managers giving
more attention to long-term capital decisions as compared to short-term capital
decisions. But as pointed out by Brealey and Myers, both short-term and long
term decisions are equally important for the efficient functioning of the business.
Working capital management refers to all management decisions and actions
that ordinarily influence the size and effectiveness of the working capital. It is
concerned with the most effective choice of working capital sources and the
determination of the appropriate levels of the current assets and their use. It
focuses attention to the managing of the current assets, current liability and their
relationships that exist between them. In other words, working capital
management may be defined as the management of a firm·s liquid assets viz. -
cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventories.
In the present day context of rising capital cost and scarce funds, the importance
of working capital needs special emphasis. It has been widely accepted that the
profitability of a business concern likely depends upon the manner in which its
working capital is managed. The inefficient management of working capital not
only reduces profitability but ultimately may also lead a concern to financial crisis.
On the other hand, proper management of working capital leads to a material
savings and ensures financial returns at the optimal level even on the minimum
level of capital employed. We also know that both excessive and inadequate
working capital is harmful for a firm. Excessive working capital leads to un
remunerative use of scarce funds.
107
On the other hand inadequate working capital usually interrupts the normal
operations of a business and impairs profitability. There are many instances of
business failure for inadequate working capital working capital. Further, working
capital has to playa vital role to keep pace with the scientific and technological
developments that are taking place in the concerned area of pharmaceutical
industry. If new ideas, methods and techniques are not injected or brought into
practice for want of working capital, the concern will certainly not be able to face
competition and survive. In this context, working capital management has a
special relevance and a through investigation regarding working capital practice
in the pharmaceutical industry is of utmost importance.
OPERATING CYCLE ANALYSIS
Operating cycle analysis has been of immense benefit in determining the
duration of the period that a single operating cycle takes to complete. This gives
us the idea about the length of time each component of the working capital
(involved in the operating cycle) will require investment (or blockage) of funds
therein. That is, if the operating cycle will be of a longer duration, more funds will
be required to finance the components, which, in turn, will involve higher costs in
the form of inventory carrying costs and interest outgo or opportunity costs. The
reverse will be the position if the operating cycle period will be shorter. Therefore,
"shorter the better" should be the motto in the management of the operating
cycle, and the management of working capital that goes therewith.

D £7 FINISHED GOODS

RAW MATERIAL
As we may see from the above figure, the process starts with the investment) or
outflow) of cash for the purchase of raw materials and ends up in the collection of
receivables (or in flow) of cash. Thus, from the stage of cash out-flow to cash in
flow, involving four stages in all, one cycle is completed, and this is known as the
operating cycle.
We may, therefore, define the duration of the operating cycle (Doc) as the sum
total of the period (duration) involved in all the four stages, viz.,
i. The duration of the raw materials stage (Drm)
ii. The duration of the work-in-process stage (Dw;p)
iii. The duration of the finished goods stage (DIg)
iv. The duration of the bills receivable (Dbr)
Doc = Drm + Dw;p + DIg + Dbr
To, compute the duration of the cash cycle (Decl, we would just subtract the
accounts payable period from the above aggregate figure.
Dec = Doc - Dap
Now, let us try to understand what does the duration of each of those four
stages, of the four components, of the operating cycle, represent. We would also
like to see as to how we arrive at the duration of cash cycle.
i. Duration of the raw material stage: This reflects the number of days
for which raw materials, consumables stores and spares etc.
remain in the inventory before these are issued for the production
purposes, this may be calculated as follows:
Dnn = (Avg. stocks of RM) / (Avg. RM consumed per day)
109
ii. Duration of the Work-in-Process stage: This indicates the number
of days that elapses in the work-in-process stage, it may be
computed as under:
Dwip = (Avg. WIP Inventory) I (Avg. WIP value of RM cons. per day)
III. Duration of the finished goods stage: This represents the number of
days for which the finished goods remain in the inventory, before
these are sold out, his may be calculated as under:
Dig = (Avg. stocks of FG) I (Avg. costs of goods sold per day)
iv. Duration of the sundry debtors stage: This indicates the number of
days required to collect the sundry debtors, this may be computed
as under:
Dar = (Avg. Sundry Debtors) I (Avg. Credit sales per day)
v. Duration of the Sundry Creditors Stage: This denotes the number
of days for which the supplier's credit is available to the company,
this may be arrives at as under:
Dap = (Avg. Sundry Creditors) I (Avg. Credit Purchases per day)
110
i. Working Capital Turnover Ratio
Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilization of net
working capital. This ratio represents the number of times the working capital is
turned over in the course of year and is calculated as follows:
Formula of Working Capital Turnover Ratio:
Following formula is used to calculate working capital turnover ratio
[Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales / Net Working Capital]
The two components of the ratio are cost of sales and the net working capital. If
the information about cost of sales is not available the figure of sales may be
taken as the numerator. Net working capital is found by deduction from the total
of the current assets the total of the current liabilities.
Significance:
The working capital turnover ratio rneasures the efficiency with which the working
capital is being used by a firrn. A high ratio indicates efficient utilization of
working capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise. But a very high working
capital turnover ratio may also mean lack of sufficient working capital which is not
a good situation.
i. Inventory Turnover Ratio:
Every firm has to maintain a certain level of inventory of finished goods so as to
be able to meet the requirements of the business. But the level of inventory
should neither be too high nor too low. A too high inventory means higher
carrying costs and higher risk of stocks becoming obsolete whereas too low
inventory may mean the loss of business opportunities. It is very essential to
keep sufficient stock in business.
III
Stock turn over ratio and inventory turn over ratio are the same. This ratio is a
relationship between the cost of goods sold during a particular period of time and
the cost of average inventory during a particular period. It is expressed in number
of times. Stock turn over ratio / Inventory turn over ratio indicates the number of
time the stock has been turned over during the period and evaluates the
efficiency with which a firm is able to manage its inventory. This ratio indicates
whether investment in stock is within proper limit or not.
Components of the Ratio:
Average inventory and cost of goods sold are the two elements of this ratio.
Average inventory is calculated by adding the stock in the beginning and at the
and of the period and dividing it by two. In case of monthly balances of stock, all
the monthly balances are added and the total is divided by the number of months
for which the average is calculated.
Formula of Stock Turnoverllnventory Turnover Ratio:
The ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the amount of
average stock at cost.
a. [Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory at cost]
Generally, the cost of goods sold may not be known from the published financial
statements. In such circumstances, the inventory turnover ratio may be
calculated by dividing net sales by average inventory at cost. If average inventory
at cost is not known then inventory at selling price may be taken as the
denominator and where the opening inventory is also not known the closing
inventory figure may be taken as the average inventory.
b. [Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Inventory at Cost]
c. [Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average inventory at Selling Price]
d. [Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Inventory]
112
Significance of ITR:
Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales.
Usually a high inventory turnoverlstock velocity indicates efficient management of
inventory because more frequently the stocks are sold, the lesser amount of
money is required to finance the inventory. A low inventory turnover ratio
indicates an inefficient management of inventory. A low inventory turnover
implies over-investment in inventories, dull business, poor quality of goods, stock
accumulation, accumulation of obsolete and slow moving goods and low profits
as compared to total investment. The inventory turnover ratio is also an index of
profitability, where a high ratio signifies more profit; a low ratio signifies low profit.
Sometimes, a high inventory turnover ratio may not be accompanied by relatively
high profits. Similarly a high turnover ratio may be due to under-investment in
inventories.
It may also be mentioned here that there are no rule of thumb or standard for
interpreting the inventory turnover ratio. The norms may be different for different
firms depending upon the nature of industry and business conditions. However
the study of the comparative or trend analysis of inventory turnover is still useful
for financial analysis.
ii. Debtors turnover ratio
A concern may sell goods on cash as well as on credit. Credit is one of the
important elements of sales promotion. The volume of sales can be increased by
following a liberal credit policy. The effect of a liberal credit policy may result in
tying up substantial funds of a firm in the form of trade debtors (or receivables).
Trade debtors are expected to be converted into cash within a short period of
time and are included in current assets. Hence, the liquidity position of concern to
pay its short term obligations in time depends upon the quality of its trade
debtors.
113
Debtors turnover ratio or accounts receivable turnover ratio indicates the velocity
of debt collection of a firm. In simple words it indicates the number of times
average debtors (receivable) are turned over during a year.
Formula of Debtors Turnover Ratio:
[Debtors Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales / Average Trade Debtors]
The two basic components of accounts receivable turnover ratio are net credit
annual sales and average trade debtors. The trade debtors for the purpose of
this ratio include the arnount of Trade Debtors & Bills Receivables. The average
receivables are found by adding the opening receivables and closing balance of
receivables and dividing the total by two. It should be noted that provision for bad
and doubtful debts should not be deducted since this may give an impression
that some amount of receivables has been collected. But when the information
about opening and closing balances of trade debtors and credit sales is not
available, then the debtors turnover ratio can be calculated by dividing the total
sales by the balance of debtors (inclusive of bills receivables) given. And formula
can be written as follows.
[Debtors Turnover Ratio = Total Sales / Debtors]
Significance of the Ratio:
Accounts receivable turnover ratio or debtors turnover ratio indicates the number
of times the debtors are turned over a year. The higher the value of debtors
turnover the more efficient is the management of debtors or more liquid the
debtors are. Similarly, low debtors turnover ratio implies inefficient management
of debtors or less liquid debtors. It is the reliable measure of the time of cash flow
from credit sales. There is no rule of thumb which may be used as a norm to
interpret the ratio as it rnay be different from firm to firm.
iii. Average Collection Period:
114
The Debtors / Receivable Turnover ratio when calculated in terms of days is
known as Average Collection Period or Debtors Collection Period Ratio. The
average collection period ratio represents the average number of days for which
a firm has to wait before its debtors are converted into cash.:
Formula of Average Collection Period:
Following formula is used to calculate average collection period:
[(Trade Debtors x No. of Working Days) / Net Credit Sales)
Significance of the Ratio:
This ratio measures the quality of debtors. A short collection period implies
prompt payment by debtors. It reduces the chances of bad debts. Similarly, a
longer collection period implies too liberal and inefficient credit collection
performance. It is difficult to provide a standard collection period of debtors.
iv. Average Payment Period:
This ratio is similar to the debtors turnover ratio. It compares creditors with the
total credit purchases. It signifies the credit period enjoyed by the firm in paying
creditors. Accounts payable include both sundry creditors and bills payable.
Same as debtors turnover ratio, creditors turnover ratio can be calculated in two
forms, creditors turnover ratio and average payment period.
Formula:
Following formula is used to calculate creditors turnover ratio:
[Creditors Turnover Ratio = Credit Purchase / Average Trade Creditors)
Average Payment Period:
Average payment period ratio gives the average credit period enjoyed from the
creditors. It can be calculated using the following formula:
[Average Payment Period = Trade Creditors / Average Daily Credit Purchase)
[Average Daily Credit Purchase= Credit Purchase / No. of working days in a year)
Or
115
[Average Payment Period = (Trade Creditors x No. of Working Days) / Net Credit
Purchase]
(In case information about credit purchase is not available total purchases may
be assumed to be credit purchase.)
Significance of the Ratio:
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.
v. Fixed assets turnover ratio:
Fixed assets turnover ratio is also known as sales to fixed assets ratio. This ratio
measures the efficiency and profit earning capacity of the concern. Higher the
ratio, greater is the intensive utilization of fixed assets. Lower ratio means under
utilization of fixed assets. The ratio is calculated by using following formula:
Formula of Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio:
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales / Net Fixed Assets

Receivable individually add to 45% (Rs. 281.53 Crs.) of GWC on an average for
the period, attaining a level of 49.31% (Rs. 397.97 Crs.) of GWC for the year
ending March 2007, which increased to Rs. 439.15 Crs (45.37% of GWC) in the
following year.
Comparing receivables with the sales volume it was noticed that with the
increase in the sales volume there was increase registered in the receivables,
both having a high degree of association (Co-efficient of correlation = 0.97) as
evident in figure 4.1.4. The ratio RIS (%) reflects that CHL's credit sales is
increasing as for the six year period the average ratio was 20.73, but the average
ratio for period-1 was about 17.63 and for period-2 it was almost 23.83 which
clearly indicates the increase of credit sales for CHL.

last three years of the study, maintaining an average of 1.29% (Rs. 11.23 Crs.) of
GWC, keeping in view that GWC has increased almost two-fold in the period of
last three years (2006-2008), compared to the initial three years period of our

The working capital employed by the company in its business declined from Rs.
2865 mn in 2001-02 to Rs. 2007 mn in 2002-03 due to reduction in loans and
advances and increase in sundry creditors. The size of the working capital used
by the company in its business was influenced by the long production cycle and
its receivables cycle. The working capital at the end of March 31, 2004 changed
marginally to Rs. 2005 mn and comprised current assets of Rs. 4335 mn net of
current liabilities and provisions of Rs. 2330 mn. Current assets as per cent of
sales reduced from 39% in 2002-03 to 37%. The current ratio at the end of March
2004 was 1.15 (after considering loan installments falling due for repayment in 1
year).
The working capital at the end of March 31, 2005 increased to Rs. 2244mn, from
Rs. 2005mn at the end of March 31, 2004 and comprised current assets of Rs.
4663mn net of current liabilities and provision of Rs. 2419mn. The working
capital (excl. Buyer's Credit) at the end of March 31, 2006 increased to Rs. 3682
mn, from Rs. 2475 mn at the end of March 31, 2005 and comprised current
assets of Rs. 6088 mn net of current liabilities and provision of Rs. 2406 mn.
Level of working capital (excl. Buyers' Credit) of Rs.4,824 mn at the end of 2006-
07 shows an increase of Rs.1, 152 mn from Rs. 3,672 mn at the end of 2005-06.
Average working capital represents 22.7% of turnover for 2006-07. Working
capital level (excl. Buyers' Credit) at the end of 2007-08 was Rs. 6,407 mn as
against Rs. 4,824 mn, which shows an increase of Rs. 1,583 mn. Net working
capital of acquired companies as on 31$1 march, 2008 was Rs. 418mn. Average
working capital represents 23.8% of turnover for 2007-08, as against 22.1 % last
year.

turnover in 2001-02 to 62 days of turnover in 2002-03. The company leveraged
the use of information technology to maintain reasonable raw material inventories
122
across its various plants as well as a low quantum of finished products within its
plants and distribution pipeline. Inventories reduced to Rs. 1603 mn from Rs.
1756 mn at the end of 2002-03. Inventory days were reduced to 50 days from 62
days' turnover in 2002-03.

Inventories increased to Rs. 1939mn as on March 31, 2005 from Rs. 1603mn at
the end of 2003-04, on account of the sales being affected in March 2005 due to
VAT related issues. Consequently, inventory days increased to 63 days, from 52
days' turnover in 2003-04. The management believes that this is a temporary
phenomenon and inventory levels will come down as normalcy is restored in the
market place. Inventory level went up to Rs.3,896 mn at the end of 2006-07 from
Rs.2,475 mn last year with average of 153 days of cost of goods sold against
112 days at the end of 2005-06. Major part of this increase is attributable to
higher level of stocking required for export business.
Inventory level went up to Rs. 4,729 mn at the end of 2007-08 from Rs. 3,986 mn
last year with average of 161 days of cost of goods sold against 147 days at the
end Of 2006-07. Major part of this increase is attributable to higher levels of
stocking required for export business.

The company's debtor's increased from 669 mn in 2001-02 to Rs. 1368 mn in
2002-03. The increase was mainly on account of the effect of the merger.
However, the receivables cycle became longer: debtor (days of turnover)
increased from 41 days in 2001-02 to 49 days in 2002-03 mainly due to increase
in exports and API sales. The company continued to protect its receivables in the
domestic formulation business through the following initiatives: goods were
released by stockiest following the receipt of cheques from the buyers. As a
result, the collections cycle for formulations sold within the country was
maintained around 25 days. Receivables increased by Rs. 291 mn to Rs. 1659
mn at the end of 2003-04 and from 49 days (of turnover) in 2002-03 to 52 days in
2003-04. This was on account of higher proportion of export sales in 2003-04.
For the same reason, drop in sales in March 2005 - the receivables reduced by
Rs. 571mn to Rs. 1088mn at the end of 2004-05 and from 54 days (of turnover)
in 2003-04 to 35 days in 2004-05. The receivables increased by Rs. 763 mn to
Rs. 1851 mn at the end of 2005-06 and from 35 days (of turnover) in 2004-05 to
52 days in 2005-06. Last year, receivables were lower because of lower sales in
the month of February and March because of destocking by trade. Inventory
levels improved from 63 days last year to 59 days.
125
Accounts Receivable increased by RS.794 mn to Rs.2J84 mn at the end of
2006-07 representing 54 days (of turnover) in 2006-07 against 48 days in 2005-
06. Increase in the level of receivable is due to steep rise in exports as well as
API sales, for which higher credit of 180 days is extended. Accounts Receivable
increased by Rs. 771 mn to Rs. 3,555mn at the end of 2007-08 representing 55
days (of turnover) in 2007-08, marginally up from 54 days last year. This increase
was mainly on account of higher exports where higher credit period is allowed to
customers. Loans and advances reduced from Rs. 2,201 mn to Rs. 2,013 mn,
showing reduction of Rs. 188 mn.

Loans and advances reduced from Rs. 2185 mn in 2001-02 to Rs. 826 mn in
2002-03, due to the elimination of advances to subsidiary companies merged
with the company in 2002-03 and completion of projects. The major part of
remaining loans and advanced were made to the company's joint ventures, other
agencies and employees as a part of the ongoing nature of the company's
business. In the opinion of the management, the quanta of these loans are
reasonable in relation to the company's overall volumes and considered fully

4.1.2: Impact of WCS on Efficiency and Profitability
Section I: Liquidity, Efficiency and Profitability Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between the composition of
gross working capital as a measure for liquidity with profitability and efficiency.
Inventory, Receivable, Loans and Advances and Cash and Bank Balance as a
percentage of gross working capital are taken as parameters for liquidity.
Working capital turnover ratio, Inventory turnover ratio, Debtors turnover ratio,
fixed asset turnover ratio, Current asset turnover ratio, Total asset turnover ratio
are taken as parameters for efficiency. Gross profit margin ratio, net profit margin
ratio, Return on asset, return on capital employed and return on equity ratio are
taken as parameter for profitability. We have ranked performance of the firm for
the period under study on the basis of liquidity, efficiency and profitability. Rank
correlation has been calculated between ranks on the basis of:
I. Liquidity and Efficiency
II. Efficiency and Profitability
III. Profitability and Liquidity
In the following part ranks have been calculated followed by rank correlation
using the formula:
where,
r = Coefficient of rank correlation
n = number of paired observations
d = difference between the ranks for each pair of observations
T test has been performed on the coefficient of correlation using the formula:
t = r /"J1- ~ ...j (n-2)
Ranks have been assigned individually to all the components of liquidity,
efficiency and profitability thereafter summation of ranks is done to get ultimate
rank for liquidity, efficiency and profitability.

A. Ranking on the basis of Liquidity
This portion deals with assigning ranks to different parameters of liquidity VIZ
Inventory, Receivable, Loans and Advances and Cash and Bank Balance. The
Criteria for assigning ranks to all parameters of liquidity varies according to the
nature of the parameter. For inventory lower the percentage with respect to gross
working capital is favorable hence higher rank is given to the year with lower
percentage of inventory to gross working capital. The argument in support of this
logic is that more inventories in gross working capital reflects under utilization of
inventory hence capital is blocked in the form of inventory raising cost of capital
for the firm. The treatment for receivables is similar with that of inventory; year
with higher percentage of receivables to gross working capital reflects firms'
inability to recover its receivables in timely manner, thus increasing the cost of
capital as capital is blocked in form of receivables. For loans & advances and
Cash & bank balance higher ranks are given to year with higher percentage of
the parameter with respect to gross working capital.

REC : Receivables R2 : Rank on the basis of REC

From the above table we can notice for the financial year ending on March 31,
2008 CHL was in best position towards maintaining its liquidity while for the year
ending on March 31,2007 its liquidity ranking was last for the period under study.
B. Ranking on the basis of Efficiency
This portion deals with assigning ranks to different parameters of efficiency viz
working capital turnover ratio, inventory turnover ratio, debtors turnover ratio,
fixed asset turnover ratio, current asset turnover ratio, total asset turnover ratio.
The Criteria for assigning ranks to all parameters of efficiency is uniform higher
the value of parameter higher the rank is assigned. The argument in support of
this logic is that higher turnover ratios reflects fast cash conversion cycle, thus
following this criteria ranks have been assigned to all the parameters and
summation of ranks is done to get the ultimate rank for efficiency.

R2: Rank on the basis of ITR
R3: Rank on the basis of DTR
R4: Rank on the basis of FATR
R5: Rank on the basis of CATR

From the tables we can notice for the financial years ending on March 31,2004 &
2005 CHL was in best position towards maintaining its efficiency while for the
136
year ending on March 31, 2007 its efficiency ranking was last for the period
under study.

Data Analysis and Hypothesis Testing
H1o: Enhanced liquidity position is associated with efficient utilization of
resources and vice-versa.
Coefficient of rank correlation between liquidity and efficiency is 0.2857 and the
corresponding t-value is 0.1491, this reflects weak positive association between
liquidity and efficiency. Thus our hypothesis enhanced liquidity position is
associated with efficient utilization of resources and vice-versa is not established.
H2o: Enhanced Liquidity position of firm is associated with better profitability and
vice-versa.
138
Coefficient of rank correlation between liquidity and efficiency is 0.1429 and the
corresponding t-value is 0.0722, this reflects weak positive association between
liquidity and profitability. Thus our hypothesis enhanced Liquidity position of firm
is associated with better profitability and vice-versa is not established.
H30: Enhanced efficiency position of firm is associated with beller profitability and
vice-versa.
Coefficient of rank correlation between efficiency and profitability is -0.0571 and
the corresponding t-value is -0.0286, this reflects weak negative association
between efficiency and profitability. Thus our hypothesis Enhanced efficiency
position of firm is associated with beller profitability and vice-versa is not
established.
Section II: Liquidity and Cash Flow Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between cash flow from
operating activity and liquidity as a whole and individually with four major
components of liquidity namely inventory, receivables, loans & advances and
cash & bank balance. The logic central to the study is that cash flow from
operating activity is generated because of changes in the composition of working
capital. In this study we our trying to identify individually how these four liquidity
parameters are able to explain the changes taking place in cash flow from
operating activity, for carrying out the study correlation and simple regression
technique has been used. Ratio of selected liquidity parameter to gross working
capital represents liquidity component as an independent variable. Ratio of cash
flow from operating activity to gross working capital is taken as dependent
variable. Second part of the study is an allempt to identify how these four
parameters of liquidity are collectively able to explain the changes taking place in
the cash flow from operating activity. To carry out the study multiple correlation
technique has been used taking all the four parameters of liquidity as
139
independent variables and ratio of cash flow from operating activity to gross
working capital is taken as dependent variable.

Section III: Liquidity and Profitability Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between operating profit and
liquidity as a whole and individually with four major components of liquidity
namely inventory, receivables, loans & advances and cash & bank balance. We
our trying to identify individually how these four liquidity parameters are able to
explain the changes taking place in the operating profit, for carrying out the study
correlation and simple regression technique has been used. Ratio of selected
liquidity parameter to gross working capital represents liquidity component as an
independent variable. Ratio of operating profit to gross working capital is taken
as dependent variable. Second part of the study is an attempt to identify how
these four parameters of liquidity are collectively able to explain the changes
taking place in the operating profit. To carry out the study multiple correlation
technique has been used taking all the four parameters of liquidity as
independent variables and ratio of operating profit to gross working capital is
taken as dependent variable.
a. Inventory and Profitability
Hypothesis (Ho): L\INT /wc is inversely related to the company's L\PM/Wc
Coefficient of correlation between L\INT /wc and L\PM/Wc is -0.5519 and the
corresponding t-value is -0.3821, this reflects strong negative association
between L\/Wc and i\PM/Wc. Thus our hypothesis L\INT MlC is inversely associated
to the company's L\PMMlc can be established. The results of simple regression
151
show that independent variable can explain only 30% of the variation in the
dependent variable.

4.1.4: Analysis ofWCM Efficiency Using DEA
The working capital meets the short-term financial requirements of a business
enterprise. It is the investment required for running day-to-day business. It is the
result of the time lag between the expenditure for the purchase of raw materials
and the collection for the sales of finished products. The components of working
capital are inventories. accounts to be paid to suppliers. and payments to be
received from customers after sales. Financing is needed for receivables and
inventories net of payables. The proportions of these components in the working
capital change from time to time during the trade cycle. The working capital
requirements decide the liquidity and profitability of a firm and hence affect the
financing and investing decisions. Lesser requirement of working capital leads to
less need for financing and less cost of capital and hence availability of more
cash for shareholders. However the lesser working capital may lead to lost sales
and thus may affect the profitability.
The management of working capital by managing the proportions of the WCM
components is important to the financial health of businesses from all industries.
To reduce accounts receivable, a firm may have strict collections policies and
limited sales credits to its customers. This would increase cash inflow. However
the strict collection policies and lesser sales credits would lead to lost sales thus
reducing the profits. Maximizing account payables by having longer credits from
the suppliers also has the chance of getting poor quality materials from supplier
that would ultimately affect the profitability. Minimizing inventory may lead to lost
sales by stock-outs. The working capital management should aim at having
balanced; optimal proportions of the WCM components to achieve maximum
profit and cash flow.
The form and amount of working capital components vary over the operating
cycle. It would be hard to get the amounts of the components used in operations
for an operating cycle. Hence the working capital management efficiency is
167
measured in terms of the "days of working capital" (DWC). DWC value is based
on the ruppe amount in each of equally weighted receivable, inventory and
payable accounts. The DWC represents the time period between purchases of
materials on account from suppliers until the sale of finished product to the
customer, the collection of the receivables, and payment receipts. Thus it reflects
the company's ability to finance its core operations with vendor credit.
The firm's profitability is measured using the operating income plus depreciation
related to total assets (IA). This measure is indicator of the raw earning power of
the firm's assets. Another profitability measure used for this analysis is the
operating income plus depreciation related to the sales (IS). This indicates the
profit margin on sales. To measure the liquidity of the firm the cash conversion
efficiency (CCE) and current ratio (CR) are used. The CCE is the cash flow
generated from operating activities related to the sales. The formulae for
calculating these values are given in the following Table 1.

4.2.2: Impact of WCS on Efficiency and Profitability
Section I: Liquidity, Efficiency and Profitability Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between the composition of
gross working capital as a measure for liquidity with profitability and efficiency.
Inventory, Receivable, Loans and Advances and Cash and Bank Balance as a
percentage of gross working capital are taken as parameters for liquidity.
Working capital turnover ratio. Inventory turnover ratio, Debtors turnover ratio,
fixed asset turnover ratio, Current asset turnover ratio, Total asset turnover ratio
are taken as parameters for efficiency. Gross profit margin ratio, net profit margin
ratio, Return on asset, return on capital employed and return on equity ratio are
taken as parameter for profitability. We have ranked performance of the firm for
the period under study on the basis of liquidity, efficiency and profitability. Rank
correlation has been calculated between ranks on the basis of:
i. Liquidity and Efficiency
II. Efficiency and Profitability
iii. Profitability and Liquidity
In the following part ranks have been calculated followed by rank correlation
using the formula:
where,
r = Coefficient of rank correlation
n = number of paired observations
d = difference between the ranks for each pair of observations
T test has been performed on the coefficient of correlation using the formula:
t = r I ';1- ~ ,; (n-2)
Ranks have been assigned individually to all the components of liquidity,
efficiency and profitability thereafter summation of ranks is done to get ultimate
rank for liquidity, efficiency and profitability.
189
A. Ranking on the basis of Liquidity
This portion deals with assigning ranks to different parameters of liquidity VIZ
Inventory, Receivable, Loans and Advances and Cash and Bank Balance. The
Criteria for assigning ranks to all parameters of liquidity varies according to the
nature of the parameter. For inventory lower the percentage with respect to gross
working capital is favorable hence higher rank is given to the year with lower
percentage of inventory to gross working capital. The argument in support of this
logic is that more inventories in gross working capital reflects under utilization of
inventory hence capital is blocked in the form of inventory raising cost of capital
for the firm. The treatment for receivables is similar with that of inventory; year
with higher percentage of receivables to gross working capital reflects firms'
inability to recover its receivables in timely manner, thus increasing the cost of
capital as capital is blocked in form of receivables. For loans & advances and
Cash & bank balance higher ranks are given to year with higher percentage of
the parameter with respect to gross working capital.

B. Ranking on the basis of Efficiency
This portion deals with assigning ranks to different parameters of efficiency viz
working capital turnover ratio, inventory turnover ratio, debtors turnover ratio,
fixed asset turnover ratio, current asset turnover ratio, total asset turnover ratio.
The Criteria for assigning ranks to all parameters of efficiency is uniform higher
the value of parameter higher the rank is assigned. The argument in support of
this logic is that higher turnover ratios reflects fast cash conversion cycle, thus
following this criteria ranks have been assigned to all the parameters and
summation of ranks is done to get the ultimate rank for efficiency.

Data Analysis and Hypothesis Testing
H 1 0: Enhanced liquidity position is associated with efficient utilization of
resources and vice-versa.
Coefficient of rank correlation between liquidity and efficiency is -0.3714 and the
corresponding t-value is -0.2309, this reflects weak negative association between
liquidity and efficiency. Thus our hypothesis enhanced liquidity position is
associated with efficient utilization of resources and vice-versa is not established.
H2o: Enhanced Liquidity position of firm is associated with better profitability and
vice-versa.
193
Coefficient of rank correlation between liquidity and efficiency is 0.6286 and the
corresponding t-value is 0.4666, this reflects strong positive association between
liquidity and profitability. Thus our hypothesis enhanced Liquidity position of firm
is associated with better profitability and vice-versa can be established.
H30: Enhanced efficiency position of firm is associated with better profitability and
vice-versa.
Coefficient of rank correlation between efficiency and profitability is 0 and the
corresponding t-value is 0, this reflects no association between efficiency and
profitability. Thus our hypothesis enhanced efficiency position of firm is
associated with better profitability and vice-versa can not be established.
Section II: Liquidity and Cash Flow Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between cash flow from
operating activity and liquidity as a whole and individually with four major
components of liquidity namely inventory, receivables, loans & advances and
cash & bank balance. The logic central to the study is that cash flow from
operating activity is generated because of changes in the composition of working
capital. In this study we our trying to identify individually how these four liquidity
parameters are able to explain the changes taking place in cash flow from
operating activity, for carrying out the study correlation and simple regression
technique has been used. Ratio of selected liquidity parameter to gross working
capital represents liquidity component as an independent variable. Ratio of cash
flow from operating activity to gross working capital is taken as dependent
variable. Second part of the study is an attempt to identify how these four
parameters of liquidity are collectively able to explain the changes taking place in
the cash flow from operating activity. To carry out the study multiple correlation
technique has been used taking all the four parameters of liquidity as
194
independent variables and ratio of cash flow from operating activity to gross
working capital is taken as dependent variable.

Section II: Liquidity and Profitability Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between operating profit and
liquidity as a whole and individually with four major components of liquidity
namely inventory, receivables, loans & advances and cash & bank balance. We
our trying to identify individually how these four liquidity parameters are able to
explain the changes taking place in the operating profit, for carrying out the study
correlation and simple regression technique has been used. Ratio of selected
liquidity parameter to gross working capital represents liquidity component as an
independent variable. Ratio of operating profit to gross working capital is taken
as dependent variable. Second part of the study is an attempt to identify how
these four parameters of liquidity are collectively able to explain the changes
taking place in the operating profit. To carry out the study multiple correlation
technique has been used taking all the four parameters of liquidity as
independent variables and ratio of operating profit to gross working capital is
taken as dependent variable.
a. Inventory and Profitability
Hypothesis (Ha): !'lINT MlC is inversely related to the company's !'IPMMlc
Coefficient of correlation between L'>INT MlC and L'>PMNVC is 0.8569 and the
corresponding t-value is 1.1754, this reflects strong positive association between
!'lINT MlC and L'>PMMlc. Thus our hypothesis ""'NT!Wc is inversely associated to the
company's L'>PM!Wc cannot be established. The results of simple regression show
206
that independent variable can explain about 73% of the variation in the
dependent variable.

4.2.4: Analysis of WCM Efficiency Using DEA
The working capital meets the short-term financial requirements of a business
enterprise. It is the investment required for running day-to-day business. It is the
result of the time lag between the expenditure for the purchase of raw materials
and the collection for the sales of finished products. The components of working
capital are inventories, accounts to be paid to suppliers, and payments to be
received from customers after sales. Financing is needed for receivables and
inventories net of payables. The proportions of these components in the working
capital change from time to time during the trade cycle. The working capital
requirements decide the liquidity and profitability of a firm and hence affect the
financing and investing decisions. Lesser requirement of working capital leads to
less need for financing and less cost of capital and hence availability of more
cash for shareholders. However the lesser working capital may lead to lost sales
and thus may affect the profitability.
The management of working capital by managing the proportions of the WCM
. components is important to the financial health of businesses from all industries.
To reduce accounts receivable, a firm may have strict collections policies and
limited sales credits to its customers. This would increase cash inflow. However
the strict collection policies and lesser sales credits would lead to lost sales thus
reducing the profits. Maximizing account payables by having longer credits from
the suppliers also has the chance of getting poor quality materials from supplier
that would ultimately affect the profitability. Minimizing inventory may lead to lost
sales by stock-outs. The working capital management should aim at having
balanced; optimal proportions of the WCM components to achieve maximum
profit and cash flow.
The form and amount of working capital components vary over the operating
cycle. It would be hard to get the amounts of the components used in operations
for an operating cycle. Hence the working capital management efficiency is
221 ,
measured in terms of the "days of working capital" (OWC). OWC value is based
on the rupee amount in each of equally weighted receivable, inventory and
payable accounts. The OWC represents the time period between purchases of
materials on account from suppliers until the sale of finished product to the
customer, the collection of the receivables, and payment receipts. Thus it reflects
the company's ability to finance its core operations with vendor credit.
The firm's profitability is measured using the operating income plus depreciation
related to total assets (IA). This measure is indicator of the raw earning power of
the firm's assets. Another profitability measure used for this analysis is the
operating income plus depreciation related to the sales (IS). This indicates the
profit margin on sales. To measure the liquidity of the firm the cash conversion
efficiency (CCE) and current ratio (CR) are used. The CCE is the cash flow
generated from operating activities related to the sales. The formulae for
calculating these values are given in the following Table.

4.3.2: Impact of WCS on Efficiency and Profitability
Section I: Liquidity, Efficiency and Profitability Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between the composition of
gross working capital as a measure for liquidity with profitability and efficiency.
Inventory, Receivable, Loans and Advances and Cash and Bank Balance as a
percentage of gross working capital are taken as parameters for liquidity.
Working capital turnover ratio, Inventory turnover ratio, Debtors turnover ratio,
fixed asset turnover ratio, Current asset turnover ratio, Total asset turnover ratio
are taken as parameters for efficiency. Gross profit margin ratio, net profit margin
ratio, Return on asset, return on capital employed and return on equity ratio are
taken as parameter for profitability. We have ranked performance of the firm for
the period under study on the basis of liquidity, efficiency and profitability. Rank
correlation has been calculated between ranks on the basis of:
i. Liquidity and Efficiency
ii. Efficiency and Profitability
iii. Profitability and Liquidity
In the following part ranks have been calculated followed by rank correlation
using the formula:
where,
r = Coefficient of rank correlation
n = number of paired observations
d = difference between the ranks for each pair of observations
T test has been performed on the coefficient of correlation using the formula:
t = r J,j1- ~ -J (n-2)
Ranks have been assigned individually to all the components of liquidity,
efficiency and profitability thereafter summation of ranks is done to get ultimate
rank for liquidity, efficiency and profitability.
242
A. Ranking on the basis of Liquidity
This portion deals with assigning ranks to different parameters of liquidity viz
Inventory, Receivable, Loans and Advances and Cash and Bank Balance. The
Criteria for assigning ranks to all parameters of liquidity varies according to the
nature of the parameter. For inventory lower the percentage with respect to gross
working capital is favorable hence higher rank is given to the year with lower
percentage of inventory to gross working capital. The argument in support of this
logic is that more inventories in gross working capital reflects under utilization of
inventory hence capital is blocked in the form of inventory raising cost of capital
for the firm. The treatment for receivables is similar with that of inventory; year
with higher percentage of receivables to gross working capital reflects firms'
inability to recover its receivables in timely manner, thus increasing the cost of
capital as capital is blocked in form of receivables. For loans & advances and
Cash & bank balance higher ranks are given to year with higher percentage of
the parameter with respect to gross working capital.

This portion deals with assigning ranks to different parameters of efficiency viz
working capital turnover ratio, inventory turnover ratio, debtors turnover ratio,
fixed asset turnover ratio, current asset turnover ratio, total asset turnover ratio.
The Criteria for assigning ranks to all parameters of efficiency is uniform higher
the value of parameter higher the rank is assigned. The argument in support of
this logic is that higher turnover ratios reflects fast cash conversion cycle, thus
following this criteria ranks have been assigned to all the parameters and
summation of ranks is done to get the ultimate rank for efficiency.

Data Analysis and Hypothesis Testing
H10: Enhanced liquidity position is associated with efficient utilization of
resources and vice-versa.
Coefficient of rank correlation between liquidity and efficiency is 0.4571 and the
corresponding t-value is 0.2967, this reflects weak positive association between
liquidity and efficiency. Thus our hypothesis enhanced liquidity position is
associated with efficient utilization of resources and vice-versa is not established.
H2o: Enhanced Liquidity position of firm is associated with better profitability and
vice-versa.
246
Coefficient of rank correlation between liquidity and efficiency is 0.4571 and the
corresponding t-value is 0.2967, this reflects strong positive association between
liquidity and profitability. Thus our hypothesis enhanced Liquidity position of firm
is associated with better profitability and vice-versa can be established.
H30: Enhanced efficiency position of firm is associated with better profitability and
vice-versa.
Coefficient of rank correlation between efficiency and profitability is 0.8857 and
the corresponding t-value is 1.1015, this reflects no association between
efficiency and profitability. Thus our hypothesis enhanced efficiency position of
firm is associated with better profitability and vice-versa can not be established.
Section II: Liquidity and Cash Flow Analysis
In this section we are trying to identify relationship between cash flow from
operating activity and liquidity as a whole and individually with four major
components of liquidity namely inventory, receivables, loans & advances and
cash & bank balance. The logic central to the study is that cash flow from
operating activity is generated because of changes in the composition of working
capital. In this study we our trying to identify individually how these four liquidity
parameters are able to explain the changes taking place in cash flow from
operating activity, for carrying out the study correlation and simple regression
technique has been used. Ratio of selected liquidity parameter to gross working
capital represents liquidity component as an independent variable. Ratio of cash
flow from operating activity to gross working capital is taken as dependent
variable. Second part of the study is an attempt to identify how these four
parameters of liquidity are collectively able to explain the changes taking place in
the cash flow from operating activity. To carry out the study multiple correlation
technique has been used taking all the four parameters of liquidity as
247
independent variables and ratio of cash flow from operating activity to gross
working capital is taken as dependent variable.

Coefficient of correlation between t.INT/Wc and t.CF/Wc is -0.15 and the
corresponding t-value is -0.1076, this reflects weak negative association between
t.INT /wc and t.CF/Wc. Thus our hypothesis t-.lNT INC is inversely associated to the

that independent variable can explain only 2% of the variation in the dependent

4.3.4: Analysis of WCM Efficiency Using DEA
The working capital meets the short-term financial requirements of a business
enterprise. It is the investment required for running day-to-day business. It is the
result of the time lag between the expenditure for the purchase of raw materials
and the collection for the sales of finished products. The components of working
capital are inventories, accounts to be paid to suppliers, and payments to be
received from customers after sales. Financing is needed for receivables and
inventories net of payables. The proportions of these components in the working
capital change from time to time during the trade cycle. The working capital
requirements decide the liquidity and profitability of a firm and hence affect the
financing and investing decisions. Lesser requirement of working capital leads to
less need for financing and less cost of capital and hence availability of more
cash for shareholders. However the lesser working capital may lead to lost sales
and thus may affect the profitability.
The management of working capital by managing the proportions of the WCM
components is important to the financial health of businesses from all industries.
To reduce accounts receivable, a firm may have strict collections policies and
limited sales credits to its customers. This would increase cash inflow. However
the strict collection policies and lesser sales credits would lead to lost sales thus
reducing the profits. Maximizing account payables by having longer credits from
the suppliers also has the chance of getting poor quality materials from supplier
that would ultimately affect the profitability. Minimizing inventory may lead to lost
sales by stock-outs. The working capital management should aim at having
balanced; optimal proportions of the WCM components to achieve maximum
profit and cash flow.
The form and amount of working capital components vary over the operating
cycle. It would be hard to get the amounts of the components used in operations
for an operating cycle. Hence the working capital management efficiency is
274
measured in terms of the "days of working capital" (OWC). OWC value is based
on the ruppe amount in each of equally weighted receivable, inventory and
payable accounts. The OWC represents the time period between purchases of
materials on account from suppliers until the sale of finished product to the
customer, the collection of the receivables, and payment receipts. Thus it reflects
the company's ability to finance its core operations with vendor credit.
The firm's profitability is measured using the operating income plus depreciation
related to total assets (IA). This measure is indicator of the raw earning power of
the firm's assets. Another profitability measure used for this analysis is the
operating income plus depreciation related to the sales (IS). This indicates the
profit margin on sales. To measure the liquidity of the firm the cash conversion
efficiency (CCE) and current ratio (CR) are used. The CCE is the cash flow
generated from operating activities related to the sales. The formulae for
calculating these values are given in the following Table.
