EFFECTIVE WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE PERFORMANCE IN THE PAINT                                                                            INDUSTRY.

         (A CASE STUDY OF MARSHALS AND CHEMICAL COMPANY LTD ENUGU - ENUGU STATE)

 

ABSTRACT

The data for this study was collected through observation, library, research, interviews and questionnaires administered to the management staff of the course study company, using pilot survey of the management population. The data collected were analyzed using percentage approach were guard the validity and reliability of the hypothesis testing. In effect, the nature of the data analysis is significantly ad statistically computational.

The researcher observes that the company does not grant credit facilities to it’s customers and that inventory level to be maintained is purely subjective. The liquidity position of the company makes profits. The management of cash and accounts receivable are effective and efficient, though the structure, financing and pattern of working capital usually specified in the text book as norms for assessing soundness are not strictly adhered to in practice. It is also obvious that no firm can survive without an effective and efficient management of it’s working capital especially in this period.

Computationally, the working capital management has a positive influence on the corporate performance position. Thus, quality                        control and marketing units need total accounting, there is need for corporate appraisal. The rational of working capital management is on the realization that current assets holding should be increased to the point where marginal returns on increase in such assets are equal to cost of capital required to finance such additions while current liabilities should as much as possible be used instead of long-term debt whenever this reduces the average cost of capital.

CHAPTER ONE

  1. INTRODUCTION

Firms needs cash to pay for all their day – to – day activities. They have pay wages, pay for raw materials, pay bills and so on. The money available to them to carry out all these responsibilities is known as the firm’s working capital.

In financial management, it is generally believed that liquidity is more important than profitability. One of the reasons for this is that most organizations makes profits, but do not posses enough or adequate liquidity assets to off set it’s current obligations. The inability of a firm to make payment as and when due may definitely have serious consequences on the organization and this situation may lead to loss of goodwill and may as well as result to technical insolvency which may lead the organization into liquidation.

Another reason is that uncertainty inherent in this present day’s economic business environment threatens the survival of every business, thus making sound liquidity and cash management a necessity of focal point in corporate planning. This claim, is substantiated in recent times by the fact that the importance of management of liquid assets has been gradually and systematically gained prominence and growth in most manufacturing firms. So, this incidental prominence and growth of liquidity management makes it very apparent that no organization or firm can survive without an effective and efficient management of it’s liquid resources which is the working capital.

The life wire of any business or organization depends on the working capital of that business or organization, i.e it is the lifeblood of any business and if you take it away, such business will surely expire. Infact, it is particularly important for the daily maintenance and running expenses involving cash. Therefore working capital management refers to the efficient administration of both the current assets and current liabilities.

Finally, efficient management of working capital is very important to both large and small scale businesses especially in this present times of instability in the economy, so as to enhance a proper corporate performance.

 

1.1              STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

It has been discovered that one of the problems faced by the present day businesses or firms is the effective and efficient management of the firm’s resources at it’s disposal. This problem is worsened considering the present fiscal policy of banning the importation of some essential raw materials, thereby leaving the manufacturing firms with meager source of locally few produced raw materials.

Decisions affecting liquid assets are influenced by an obvious fact and subjective judgment of most companies. The financial controller of a company may have some of the facts of the cost of borrowing from a bank but these facts are only part of the information that he requires. On the other hand, there are also subjective benefits arising from having more cash. The financial manager may decide to insure the firm against financial illiquidity by arranging and paying for a credit agreement committing a bank to lend up to an agreed sum.

Despite all these explicit and implicit costs, still in profits, liquid assets may not mean shortage n profits. According to Scapers, (1977), “profits may appear satisfactory while operations are claiming financial resources of the business”. Still in the same view, Harthey (1985) said that “profitable firms have been known to go bankrupt while firms making losses have been known to have a considerable cash surplus”.

Therefore on this note, the problem is to identify the difficulties most manufacturing firms are facing now in that when they perceive that profits mature to the detriment of running illiquid and this will go a long way to identify the relationship existing between the management of working capital and corporate performance.

 

  1. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY.

Working capital is a critical factor in the sustainability and viability of any firm/business. It uncommon to find a firm/business overloaded with inventories and other investments when cash is in short supply for payments and other cash commitments. It is also not uncommon to find some firms heavily overloaded with idle cash when there  are many profitable investments that would have tampered with some of such cash. On the other hand, over-investments in fixed assets, poor collections or receivables, bad debts and unbalanced obsolete inventories can quickly transform a profitable company over-trading on creditors cash and bank loan into a company with solvency problems. The concretionary monetary policy by this present military administration and its subsequent effort on each squeeze of banks has made it easy for firms to obtain short term financing from financial institutions.

The fixster a business expands, the more cash it will need for working capital and investment. The cheapest and best sources of cash exist as working capital right within a business. Good management of working capital will generate cash which will help improve profits and reduce risks.

According to mabogunjo, “the restrictive monetary policy introduced to curb inflation by reducing excess liquidity has brought Nigerian private sectors and manufacturing companies face to face with the  most important objective of a business. With the reduction of naria in circulation and the increase in the price level occasioned by foreign exchange market (FEM), companies are faced with excess stock which they are unable to dispose off, owing to a fall in the customer’s demand. The purpose of carrying out this research is to:

  1. Find out if enough inventory levels has been maintained by the management of marshal points and chemical company in order to enhance a smooth running of the production process.
  2. Find out if the minimum cash level has been adequate in the company.
  3. Critically examine the credit policy of the company.
  4. Investigate if the company has an adequate current assets to meet it’s maturing obligations. 
  5. Also identify the extent with which the presence of working capital affects the corporate performance of the firm.

Finally, it is believed that the outcome/result of this research study will provide useful information that will help the management of marshal points and chemical company Ltd, Enugu to improve in their decision making process.

This study will also enhance the understanding of most organizations as regards their working capital position, develop a plan to improve it’s effectiveness and implement a smart flaw management techniques tailored to the industry. Good management of working capital and corporate performance will help improve profits and reduce risks.

Lastly, the findings and recommendations to this project work will create a step towards the improvement of effective working capital management and corporate performance in point industries and other corporate bodies.
