THE BEGINNING:
Henning Holck Larsen and Soren Kristen Toubro, both Danish nationals, came to India in 1934, as employees of FL Smidth, Denmark, to provide engineering services to cement plants in India. During their stay they became fond of India and its culture. They realized the growing business potential in this country and laid the foundation of their partnership firm in the year 1938, christened as Larsen & Toubro. In the early years, they represented Danish manufacturers of diary equipment for a modest retainer. But with the start of the Second World War in 1939, imports were restricted, compelling them to start a small work-shop to undertake jobs and provide service facilities. Germanys invasion of Denmark in 1940 stopped supplies of Danish products. This crisis forced the partners to stand on their own feet and innovate. They started manufacturing dairy equipment indigenously. These products proved to be a success, and L&T came to be recognized as a reliable fabricator with high standards. Again the sudden interment of German engineers (because of the war) who were to put up a soda ash plant for the TATA, gave L&T a chance to enter the field of installation an area where their capability became well respected. The company had its humble beginning in a tiny room in South Mumbai near to the corporate headquarters. With time the company took huge achievement strides and the marshy land in South Mumbai was transformed to a sprawling enterprise spread over 99 acres, employing more than 24,000 people and catering to the engineering needs of the world with a diverse product line. Today, the enterprise of the company lies in Engineering and Construction but it is constantly leveraging its knowledge in other areas like Information Technology. In India, it has a visible and vibrant presence. Some of Indias most sophisticated projects and most complex industrial equipment carry the L&T

insignia of excellence. The adventure that began so humbly surpassed even the well established companies, the evidence of which is contained in the following milestones: 1940's: Engineering Construction Corporation (ECC) was incorporated. The partners signed a dealership agreement with the Tractor Company, Caterpillar Inc., USA - one of the largest manufacturers of earthmoving equipment. L&T Pvt. Ltd. came into being on February 07, 1946. L&T acquires 55 acres of land at Powai in 1948.
1950's: L&T became public limited company on December 1950, with a paid-up share capital of Rs. 20 lakhs. Sales turnover being Rs. 109lakhs. Tractor Engineers Limited (TENGL) & Caterpillar Inc., USA were incorporated as a joint venture of L&T on September 18, 1952. On 1956, the company moved to IC office at Ballard Estate which is today known as L&T House, Corporate headquarters. L&T receives a substantial order from Rourkela Steel Plant for the erection of 3 blast furnaces and a pig casting machine. 1960's: L&T emerges as the largest and most outstanding erection contractor in India. Switch gear workshop was set up. Prestigious contracts include turnkey construction of the Radiological Laboratories for the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay - which was one of the largest in Asia. Receives a contract for the erection of an Iron ore plant for Hindustan Steel Ltd. at Barsua, Orissa.

1970's: Manufactures India's first indigenous Nuclear Reactor Vessel for Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant. Manufactures hydraulic excavators in collaboration with Poclain, S.A., France. Manufactures a high speed bottling plant (Capacity: 24,000 bottles per year) for the Delhi Milk Scheme. Supplies and Commissions India's largest indigenous cement plant. Fabricates and delivers motor casings for Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). 1980's: Manufactures the first multi-wall vessel for ammonia separation for Hindustan Fertiliser Corporation Limited, Namrup. Manufactures India's 1st indigenous adjustable throat armour, at Kansbahal, for the blast furnace at TISCO. Receives national recognition for its path breaking achievement in developing the tri-junction welding technique for critical parts of nuclear reactors. L&T secures an order from ISRO for the manufacture of rocket motor casing made from maraging steel for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). Establishes itself as India's largest manufacturer of low tension switchgear, with the widest range. Sets up cement plants at Awarpur. Heavy Engineering facilities are set up in 1987 at Hazira near Surat for the manufacture of heavy and large equipment. 1990's: Emerges as India's largest integrated engineering and Construction Company. Ventures into Software development.

CAPITAL BUDGETING
CAPITAL BUDGETING
Capital budgeting is the planning process used to determine whether a firm's long term investments such as new machinery, replacement machinery, new plants, new products, and research development projects are worth pursuing. It is the budget for major capital, or investment, expenditures.
25
Capital Budgeting is the process in which a business determines whether projects such as building a new plant or investing in a long-term venture are worth pursuing. Oftentimes, a prospective project's lifetime cash inflows and outflows are assessed in order to determine whether the returns generated meet a sufficient target benchmark. Capital Budgeting of an organisation includes the budgeting of all the capital expenditures incurred in it. A capital expenditure is an expenditure that is shown as an asset on the balance sheet. This asset, except in the case of a nondepreciable asset like land, is depreciated over its life. Capital expenditures have long term consequences.
Capital Expenditures include purchase of fixed assets.
Fixed Assets have 2 characteristics: They are acquired for use over relatively long periods for carrying on the operations of the firm and They are not ordinarily meant for sale.
These fixed assets that are used at L&T are: a) Factory Building b) Non Factory Building c) Plant and Machinery d) Computer items e) Furniture and Fixtures f) Office Equipment
g) Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
h) Photographic Equipment i) Laboratory equipment j) Vehicles

OF
GUIDELINES
FOR
PREPARATION
CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES
AND
INVESTMENT BUDGET: A) CLASSIFICATION:

The Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) Budget will be analysed in the following categories:
26
Real Estate i.e., Land (Free hold or Lease hold ) Real Estate i.e., Buildings ( Factory or Office / Commercial or Residential Flats ) Plant and Machinery - General or specific Information Technology (IT) related items - PC's, Laptops, Servers, Photo copiers / Printers, Softwares, etc. Special items - Transit houses and holiday homes, Vehicles, Equipment for Medical/Welfare centres, Cars under employee car scheme, Personal computers for employees under the company's scheme, Aircraft, Others Other office equipment Furniture and Fixtures
The proposals should be entered in the appropriate subcategories under respective categories. The proposals for Real Estate and Plant & Machinery should contain detailed item wise justification. All proposals should be substantiated and collaborated with the complete plan. Specific plant and machinery items refer to: a) New investments, b) Expansion and c) Items bought for targeted jobs The specific and general P/M are budgeted under the aforesaid three subcategories with a detailed rationale covering all norms, such as Net Present Value (NPV), Payback period, Project Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The above norms should be justified with respect to probability of award of job and its expected use and residual value post completion of the job.
B) BUDGET PROPOSALS:
27
A detailed justification for the purchase of the new asset should be submitted. The increase in revenues, contribution and cost savings that will be achieved should also be given, wherever applicable. The proposals should be comprehensive and must include cost of consequential proposals such as stamp duty, registration charges, material handling equipment, stores, land / site clearing, etc. In case of proposal for general P&M costing Rs.150 lakhs or more & specific P&M budgeted under new investments or expansion, Payback Period, Net Present Value ( NPV ), and Project Internal Rate of Return (IRR ) calculations should be furnished. NPV should be arrived at using Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). Proposals for acquiring Plant & Machinery in anticipation of customer orders should indicate the customer orders, the probability of getting these orders and the redeployment plan for these assets after execution of the orders. For real estate proposals covering construction", breakup of cost into civil, electrical and air conditioning along with area and rate per sq. meter should be provided. Cost of land, if applicable, should also be separately disclosed along with likely stamp duty, registration charges, land development expenses, etc.
Proposals for replacement of asset:

Details of existing asset:
a) Type of equipment b) Year of purchase c) Original cost, Written Down Value (WDV ) d) Present Capacity Utilization e) Breakdown hours f) Annual maintenance cost trend g) Any major cost to be incurred h) Estimated net realizable value
28
Proposed replacement:
a) Improvements expected including additional production anticipated, cost saving, efficiency improvements, etc.
b) Cost of replacement
C) CARRY OVER PROPOSALS:

There will be no automatic carryover of proposals sanctioned for the current year. Carryover of proposals will be allowed only for partly committed jobs / sanctions and the carry over proposals should be budgeted based on the latest prices / costs. In case of items where the cost is likely to exceed the amount already sanctioned, a detailed justification should be given for amounts exceeding 5% of the original estimate or Rs. 10 lakhs (whichever is more).
D) HIRE OR LEASE OF ASSETS:

At times capital assets are taken on a long term hire, which is similar to leasing of the assets. It is suggested that these proposals should also be submitted to the finance dept. where the annual outgo of rentals on account of such assets exceeds Rs. 20 lakhs. Such assets should form part of the proposals for the capital sanction.
E) COSTS:
The amount to be indicated against each proposal should include all taxes, duties, cost of accessories, spares, installation charges, etc. The cost of office space should include cost of modification, transfer expenses, stamp duty, registration charges, etc.
29
F) PROPOSAL EVALUATION:
The CAPEX budget would be approved based on the Company's cash flow position for the budget year. All capital expenditure proposals are evaluated and sanctioned on the basis of information given along with the Budget proposals. It is therefore necessary that complete description and justification of the proposals are given to facilitate sanction. Further, it may be noted that a proposal sanctioned towards a particular asset cannot be utilized for any other asset . In case for requirement for substitution prior approval of the H.O Finance dept. will be necessary.
G) MONTHLY REPORTING OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE:

Budgeting units should ensure that they report to the H.O Finance dept. on a monthly basis, about the item wise commitments and cash flows for the sanctioned projects through utilization statements.
CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS:

Capital Budgeting is a complex process which may be divided into the following phases:
Identification of potential investment opportunities:
30
The capital budgeting process begins with the identification of potential investment opportunities. Typically, the planning body develops estimates of future sales which serve as the basis for setting production targets. This information, in turn, is helpful in identifying required investments in plant & machinery and equipment.
Assembling of Investment Proposals:

Investment proposals identified by the production department and other department are routed through several persons. The purpose of routing a proposal through several persons is primarily to ensure that the proposal is viewed from different angles. It also helps in creating a climate for bringing about coordination of interrelated activities. Then the proposals are usually submitted in a standardised capital investment proposal form.
Project Classification:
Normally projects are classified into different categories to have a detailed analysis. Project analysis entails time and effort. The costs incurred in this exercise must be justified by the benefits from it. a) Mandatory Investments: These are expenditures required to comply with statutory requirements such as pollution control equipment, medical dispensary, fire fitting equipment and so on. These are often non revenue producing investments. In analysing such investments the focus is mainly on finding the most cost-effective way of fulfilling a given statutory need. b) Replacement Projects: The Company routinely invest in equipments meant to replace obsolete and inefficient equipments, even though they may be in a serviceable condition. The objective of such investments is to reduce costs of labour, raw material, and power. And also to increase yield and improve quality.
c) Expansion Projects: These investments are meant to increase capacity

and widen the distribution network. Such investments call for an
31
explicit forecast of growth. Since this can be risky and complex, expansion projects normally warrant more careful analysis. Decisions relating to such projects are taken by the top management.
d) Diversification Projects: These investments are aimed at producing

new products or services. Often diversification projects entail substantial risks, involve large outlays and require considerable managerial effort and attention. Given their strategic importance, such projects call for a very thorough evaluation, both quantitative and qualitative. Further they require a significant involvement of the board of directors.
e) Research and Development Projects: R&D projects are characterised by

numerous uncertainties and typically involve sequential decision making. Such projects are decided on the basis of managerial judgement.
f) Miscellaneous Projects: This is a catch-all category that includes items

like interior decoration, recreational facilities, landscaped gardens, and so on. There is no standard approach for evaluating these projects and decisions regarding them are based on personal preferences of top management.
Investment Criteria:
Investments in most of the projects should fulfil some criteria's so that the project is accepted or else the project will be rejected. The investment criteria that are followed at L&T, Kansbahal works are Net Present Value (NPV) and Payback Period.
ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING PROCESS FOR THE INSTALLATION

OF VERTICAL LATHE M/C IN MACHINE SHOP AT L&T, KANSBAHAL
WORKS
Machine shop is a vital link that concretizes and fructifies the parts which are to be assembled in the assembly shop.
32
The machine shop can be divided into : 1) Lathe shop a) Centre lathe b) Vertical lathe c) Facing lathe 2) Boring group a) Table borer b) Floor borer c) CNC borer 3) Central group a) Marking b) Miscellaneous machines The operations that can be performed in Lathe shop are: OD and ID Turning Taper Turning External threading Internal Threading Parting Grooving Chamfering, etc.
There were 4 vertical lathe machines available in the machine shop: a) M/C No. - 021 b) M/C No. - 037 c) M/C No. - 032 d) M/C No. - 033 M/C No. - 033 was windmill component machinery.
33
Chuck dial - 4770 mm. Height - 4 m. Weight carrying capacity - 80 tons
But due to a major order from Bokaro Steel Plant, the Chuck Dial required for the specified job was 5300 mm. Hence the new Vertical Lathe was proposed to be bought, so as for the completion of the order and to work out more no. of such orders. The estimated total expenditure of the Vertical Lathe M/C was calculated to be 600 lakhs. Availing of the new machinery will result in: 1. Improving productivity 2. Increasing existing capacity 3. Creating new capacity and 4. Getting more no. of specific sales order This particular investment was categorised as an Expansion project and the Net present value (NPV) and Payback period were calculated to check the feasibility of the project. a) Net Present Value (NPV): The Net present value of a project is the sum of the present values of all the cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of the project. Net present value of an investment/project is the difference between present value of cash inflows and cash outflows. The present values of cash flows are obtained at a discount rate equivalent to the cost of capital. The decision rule associated with the net present value criterion is: Accept the project if NPV is positive and reject the project if NPV is negative. If NPV is zero, it is a matter of indifference. The vertical lathe's present value of cash inflows is equal to Rs. 2191.19 lakhs which is much greater than Rs. 600 lakhs. Thus it generates a positive net present value of Rs.1591.18 lakhs. Hence, this project adds to the wealth of owners; therefore, it should be accepted.
34
b) Payback Period: Payback period is the time duration required to recoup the investment committed to a project. It is the length of time required to recover the initial cash outlay on the project. According to the payback criterion, the shorter the payback period, the more desirable is the project. Firms using this criterion generally specify the maximum acceptable payback period.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

54
INTRODUCTION Proper management of working capital is very important for the success of an enterprise. It aims at protecting the purchasing power of assets and maximizing the return on investment. Constant management is required to maintain appropriate levels in the various working capital components. Sales expansion, dividend declaration, plant expansion, new product line, increased salaries and wages, rising price levels etc. put added strain on working capital maintenance. Business concerns need funds for carrying on the business. These funds are acquired either from equity or on borrowed basis. Concern utilizes a part of the funds for acquiring fixed assets and other for long term purposes. Apart from financing for investing in fixed asset, every business concern also require funds on a continual basis for carrying on its day-to-day operations. These include amount incurred for purchase of raw materials, for processing them, constructions work, etc.. Working capital refers to the sources of financing required to by business on continual basis for meeting these needs.
MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL: Working capital typically means the firms holding of current or short-term assets such as cash, cash receivables, inventory, and marketable securities. Working capital focuses on the efficient management of the individual current assets in the day-to-day operation of the business. Working capital is that part of firms current assets which are financed by long term funds when we take working capital as excess of current assets over current liabilities. The net working capital provides an accurate assessment of the liquidity position of the firm. With the liquidity and profitability dilemma solidly authenticated in the financial scheme of management, concerned efforts are made to ensure the ability of the firm to meet the obligations, which mature within twelve month period. Management must always ensure the solvency and viability of the firm.
55
The definition of working capital is fairly simple; it is the difference between an organization's current assets and its current liabilities. Of more importance, is it's function which is primarily to support the day-to-day financial operations of an organization, including the purchase of stock, the payment of salaries, wages and other business expenses, and the financing of credit sales. Working capital comprises a number of different items and its management is difficult since these are often linked. Hence altering one item may impact adversely upon other areas of the business. For example, a reduction in the level of stock will see a fall in storage costs and reduce the danger of goods becoming obsolete. It will also reduce the level of resources that an organization has tied up in stock. However, such an action may damage an organization's relationship with its customers as they are forced to wait for new stock to be delivered, or worse still may result in lost sales as customers go elsewhere.
NEED OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: The working capital management refers to Management of working capital ", or, to be more precise The management of current assets". A firms working capital consists of its investment in current assets which include short term assets such as cash and bank balance, inventories, receivable and marketable securities, etc. So the working capital refers to the management of the level of all these individual current assets. The need for working capital management arises from two considerations: i. Firstly, existence of working capital is imperative in any firm. The fixed assets, which usually require a large chunk of total funds, can be used as an optimal level of only if supported by sufficient working capital, and ii. Secondly, the working involves investment of funds of the firm. If the working capital level is not properly maintained and managed, then it may result in unnecessary blocking of scarce resources of the firm. The insufficient working capital, on the other hand, put different hindrances in
56
smooth working of the firm. Therefore, the working capital management needs attention of all financial managers. Proper management of Working Capital is very important for the success of an enterprise. It aims at protecting the purchasing power of assets and maximizing the return on investment. Constant management is required to maintain appropriate levels in the various working capital components. It has been found that the major portion of a financial managers time is utilized in the management of working capital. Current assets are a large portion of the total investment of a firm. In some of the industries, current assets account for a very large portion of the total investment of a firm. In some of the industrial current assets on an average represent over three-fifth of the total assets. In the case of trading concerns they account for about 80 percent.
CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL: There are two concepts regarding the meaning of Working Capital: Gross Working Capital Net Working Capital.
i. Gross Working Capital includes investment of a firm only in current assets. Current assets are those which can be converted into cash within an accounting year. They are cash, Sundry debtors, Inventories and Short term securities, etc.. Current assets are of circulating nature so it should be considered as working capital. There would be an automatic increase in the Working Capital with every increase in the funds of the company.
Gross Working Capital = Current Assets

From the above table it is clear that the Gross Working Capital is increasing in a very smooth way. It means the companys liquidity position is well. ii. Net Working Capital refers to the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Current liabilities are claims of outsiders expected to mature within an accounting year. It includes Bills payable, Sundry Creditors, Bank overdraft, Outstanding Expenses.etc. This concept of Working Capital enables the shareholders to judge the financial soundness of the concern and the extent of protection affordable to them. It is particularly because with an increase in short term-borrowings the, Working Capital does not increase. It is increase only by following the policy by ploughing back of profits or conversion of fixed assets into liquid assets or by procuring fresh capital from Shareholders.
Net Working Capital = Current Assets Current Liabilities.

From the above table it can be seen that the amount of net working capital for the company for the previous five years is fluctuating. The net working capital is high in the year 2008-09. The net working capital is always positive in nature i.e. current assets are always more than current liabilities. The greater the amount of net working capital, the greater the liquidity of the company.

MANAGING OF WORKING CAPITAL

Working Capital Management is the process of planning and controlling the level of mix of current assets of the firm as well as financing these assets. Specifically, Working Capital management requires financial managers to decide what quantities of cash, other liquid assets, Accounts receivables & inventories; the firm will hold at any point of time. Management must always ensure the solvency and viability of the firm. Management will use a combination of policies and techniques for the management of working capital. These policies aim at managing the current assets (generally cash and cash equivalents, inventories and debtors) and the short term financing, such that cash flows and returns are acceptable. Cash and liquidity management: Identify the cash balance which allows for the business to meet day to day expenses, but reduces cash holding costs. Inventory management: Identify the level of inventory which allows for uninterrupted production but reduces the investment in raw materials and minimizes reordering costs and hence increases cash flow. Credit management: Identify the appropriate credit policy, i.e. credit terms which will attract customers, such that any impact on cash flows and the cash conversion cycle will be offset by increased revenue and hence Return on Capital (or vice versa). The objective of working capital management is to maintain the optimum balance of each of the working capital components. This includes making sure that funds are held as cash in bank deposits for as long as and in the largest amounts possible, thereby maximizing the interest earned. However, such cash may more appropriately be "invested" in other assets or in reducing other liabilities. Working capital management is not an end in itself. It is an integral part of the department's overall management. The needs of efficient working capital
61
management must be considered in relation to other aspects of the department's financial and non-financial performance.
Elements of Working Capital are:

1. Cash 2. Marketable Investments 3. Receivables 4. Inventories 5. Creditors
Factors influencing the Working Capital requirement of L&T, Kansbahal Works:

1. Scale of Operation. 2. Technology. 3. Volume of Order in hand 4. Market condition 5. Working Capital Cycle. 6. Credit policies.
IMPORTANCE OF GOOD WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT :

From a company's point of view, excess working capital means operating inefficiencies. Money that is tied up in inventory or money that customers still owe to the company cannot be used to pay off any of the company's obligations. So, if a company is not operating in the most efficient manner (slow collection), it will show up as an increase in the working capital. This can be seen by comparing the working capital from one period to another; slow collection may signal an underlying problem in the company's operations. A large investment in current assets under certainty would mean a low rate of return on investment for the firm, as excess investment in current assets
62
will not earn enough return. The two important aim of the working capital management are: Profitability and Solvency. Solvency refers to the firms continuous ability to meet maturing obligations. To ensure solvency, the firm should be very liquid, which means larger current assets holdings.
Interpreting the level of the Current Assets to Fixed Assets Ratio:

The level of the Current Assets can be measured by relating Current Assets to Fixed Assets. Dividing Current Assets by Net Fixed Assets gives CA/FA ratio. Assuming a constant level of fixed assets, a higher CA/FA ratio indicates a
conservative Current Assets policy and a lower CA/FA ratio means an aggressive Current Assets policy assuming other factor to be constant. A "conservative policy
implies greater liquidity and lower risk; while "an aggressive policy indicates higher risk and poor liquidity". Moderate current assets policy fall in the middle of conservative and aggressive policies. Current Assets to Fixed Assets of L&T, Kansbahal Works. Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Current Assets 1,595,986,683 1,994,490,892 1,823,279,621 1,535,462,677 1,221,358,455 Net Fixed Assets 1,725,796,584 655,784,255 439,803,577 310,744,935 294,351,357 Ratio 0.92 3.04 4.15 4.94 4.15
As per the above data, it can be clearly seen that L&T, Kansbahal Works follows a Aggressive Current Assets policy in the financial year 2009-10 than in the other years. The management believes on the Liquidity and lower risk rather than Profitability with higher risk.
63
OPERATING CYCLE
64
OPERATING CYCLE
The Working Capital Cycle or Operating Cycle is the length of time between a company paying for materials entering into stock and receiving the inflow of cash from sales. Investment in working capital is influenced by 4 key events in the production and sales cycle of the firm: i) Purchase of raw materials ii) Payment for raw materials iii) Sale of finished goods iv) Collection of cash from sales
RMCP
WIPCP
RCP
FGCP
The firm begins with the purchase of raw materials which are paid for after a delay which represents the accounts payable period. The firm converts the raw materials into finished goods and then sells the same. The time lag between the purchase of raw materials and the sale of finished goods is the inventory period. Customers pay their bills sometime after the sales. The period that elapses between the date of sales and the date of collection of receivables is the accounts payable period (debt period).
65
Order placed
Stock arrives Inventory period Accounts payable period Firm receives Cash paid for invoice materials Operating cycle Cash cycle
Cash Received Accounts Receivable period
The time that elapses between the purchase of raw materials and the collection of cash for sales is referred to as the operating cycle, whereas the time length between the payment for raw material purchases and the collection of cash for sales is referred to as the cash cycle. The operating cycle is the sum of the inventory period and the accounts receivable period, whereas the cash cycle is equal to the operating cycle less the accounts payable period. Longer the working capital cycle period, larger the requirement of working capital. The determination of operating cycle is helpful for control purposes with a view to improve previous working capital ratios.
Determination of the length of Operating & Cash Cycle:

The length of Operating cycle of a manufacturing firm is the sum of:
Operating Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period + Receivables conversion Period = RMCP + WIPCP + FGCP + RCP
66
I) Inventory Conversion Period: It is the total time needed for producing and selling the product. Typically, it includes: a) Raw material Conversion Period( RMCP ): It is the average time period taken to convert material into work in process. RMCP depends on: Raw material consumption per day and Raw material inventory.
Raw material consumption per day is given by the total raw material consumption divided by the number of days in a year ( 365 days). Hence, RMCP = Raw Material Conversion Period. = Average Stock of Raw Material Material Consumption Per day b) Work-in-Process Conversion Period( WIPCP ): It is the average time taken to complete the semi-finished or work in process. Hence, WIPCP = Work-In-Progress Conversion Period. = Average Stock of Work In - Progress Total Cost of Production per Day c) Finished goods Conversion Period (FGCP): It is the average time taken to sell the finished goods. Hence, FGCP = Finished Goods Conversion Period. = Average Stock of Finished Goods Total Cost of Goods Sold Per Day
67
II) Receivables or Debtors Conversion Period (RCP): It is the average time taken to convert debtors into cash. RCP represents the average collection period. It is the time required to collect the outstanding amount from the customers. Hence, RCP = Receivable Conversion Period. = Average Accounts Receivables Net Credit Sales Per day
CASH CYCLE:
It is the difference between operating cycle and payables deferral period.
Cash Cycle = Operating Cycle PDP
Payables or Creditors Deferral Period (PDP): It is the average time taken by the firm in paying its suppliers or creditors. Hence, PDP = Payable Defferal Period = Average Accounts Payable Net Credit purchase Per Day

RATIO ANALYSIS
70
RATIO ANALYSIS
Accounting ratios is used to describe significant relationships which exist between figures shown on a balance sheet, in a profit & loss account, in a budgetary control system or in any other part of the accounting organisation. Ratios are simply a means of highlighting in arithmetical terms the relationship between figures drawn from financial statements. Ratio Analysis is the technique of analysis and interpretation of the financial statements. Ratio Analysis facilitates the presentation of information of financial statements in simplified and concise and summarized form. It is the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios for making certain decisions.
Nature of Ratio Analysis:

Ratios, by themselves, are not an end but only one of the means of understanding the financial health of a business entity. Ratio analysis is not capable of providing precise answers to all the problems faced by any business unit. Ratio analysis is basically a technique of: (i) Establishing meaningful relationship between significant variables of financial statements; and (ii) Interpreting the relationship to form judgement regarding the financial affairs of the unit.
71
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations as they fall due. Liquidity is the case with which assets may be converted into cash without loss. The failure of a company to meets its obligation due to lack of sufficient liquidity, will result in a poor credit worthiness, loss of creditor's confidence. Liquidity ratios usually consist of Current ratio, Quick ratio, Cash ratio etc.
A) Current Ratio:
This ratio expresses the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. This ratio is an indication of the companys ability to meet its short term liabilities. It is the ratio of current assets and current liabilities. The most ideal current ratio of a company is 2:1. This means every current liability should be covered by at least twice the amount of current assets. Here the current liabilities also consider the bank borrowings i.e., secured loans mentioned in the balance sheet. Current Ratio = Current Asset Current Liabilities Current Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Current Assets 1,595,986,683 1,994,490,892 1,823,279,621 1,535,462,677 1,221,358,455 Current Liabilities 860,675,005 1,022,286,575 863,491,435 681,312,393 539,325,732 Ratio 1.85 1.95 2.11 2.25 2.26
L&T has a current ratio of 1.85:1 and 1.95:1 for the financial year 2009-10 and 2008-09 respectively. This is interpreted to be insufficiently liquid but the previous years have maintained high liquidity. The current ratio of L&T, Kansbahal reveals that the obligations of the company can be met on time.
72
B) Quick ratio or Acid-test ratio or Liquid ratio:

This is the ratio of quick assets or liquid assets to current liabilities. Quick assets are defined as current assets excluding inventories. An asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short period without loss of value. Inventory by nature cannot be converted into ready cash abruptly. The term liquid assets does not include inventory. Here the current liabilities also consider the bank
borrowings i.e., secured loans mentioned in the balance sheet. A ratio of 1:1 is
considered as ideal.
Quick Ratio = Liquid Asset Current Liabilities Current Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Liquid Assets 986,590,092 1,090,755,983 1,050,843,929 908,844,142 550,299,481 Current Liabilities 860,675,005 1,022,286,575 863,491,435 681,312,393 539,325,732 Ratio 1.15 1.07 1.22 1.33 1.02
The company has been maintaining a little more than necessary quick ratio of 1:1. Thus, if the L&Ts inventories do not sell and it has to pay all current liabilities it can easily meet its obligations because its quick assets are 1.15 times of current liabilities. High Quick ratio indicates the liquidity position of the firm. The quick ratio of the company reveals satisfactory liquidity position since it also has considerably fast moving debtors.
C) Activity / Efficiency / Turnover Ratios:

"Activity" ratios are concerned with measuring the efficiency in assets management. "Efficiency" implies effective utilization of available resources. "Turnover" refers to the utilization of a resource or an asset in the process of
73
business activity. The ratios of this kind, attempt to find out the efficient utilization of asset by relating the same to sales/cost of goods sold.
Inventory / Stock Turnover Ratio

Inventory turnover ratio indicates the velocity with which stock of finished goods is sold i.e., replaced. Generally it is expressed as number of times the average stock has been turned over or rotated during the year. Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. It would indicate whether inventory has been efficiently used or not. Inventory turnover ratio indicates the number of times the stock has been turned over during the period and evaluates the efficiency with which a firm is able to manage its inventory. Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Inventory
Inventory Turnover Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Net Sales 3,38,49,58,254 2,97,83,53,765 2,58,72,04,708 2,31,50,28,433 1,70,92,98,528 Inventory 60,93,96,591 90,37,34,909 77,24,35,692 62,66,18,535 67,10,58,974 Ratio 5.55 3.30 3.35 3.69 2.55
This shows that L&T is turning its inventory into sales 5.5 times in the year 2009-10 which is more as compared to the previous years which indicates there is an efficient management of Inventory. In 2005-06 the ratio is very low i.e. 2.55 times. It indicates there is an inefficient management of Inventory. A low
ratio implies over-investment in inventories, possibility of stock comprising of

obsolete items, slow moving products & poor selling policy; whereas a high ratio
74
implies efficient inventory control, sound sales policies, trading in quality goods, better competitive capacity & less money required to finance the inventory. Days of Inventory Holdings (DIH):
Days of Inventory Holdings (DIH) = Days in a year Inventory turnover ratio Days of Inventory Holdings (DIH) Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Days in a year 365 365 365 365 365 Inventory Turnover Ratio 5.55 3.3 3.35 3.69 2.55 DIH ( in days ) 65.77 110.61 108.96 98.92 143.14
L&T holds average inventory of 66 days in the year 2009-10 which is the minimum than in comparison to the previous years which is good for the company.
Debtors / Receivables Turnover Ratio

Debtor is an important constituent of current assets. Perhaps no business can afford to make sales only thus extending credit to the customers is a necessary evil. But care must be taken to collect book debts quickly and within the period of credit allowed. Therefore the quality of debtors to a greater extent determines the companys liquidity and efficiency. This is one of the ratios used by financial analysis to judge the efficiency of the company. The debtor turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of firm. It indicates the number of times of the average that debtors turnover each year. Generally higher the value of debtor turnover, the more the efficiency is the credit management.
75
Debtors Turnover Ratio
Net Sales Debtors
Debtors Turnover Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Net Sales 3,38,49,58,254 2,97,83,53,765 2,58,72,04,708 2,31,50,28,433 1,70,92,98,528 Debtors 79,19,16,010 75,18,68,597 90,56,40,467 76,32,29,126 43,99,44,793 Ratio(times) 4.27 3.96 2.86 3.03 3.89
Debtor turnover is high in the year 2009-10. i.e. 4.27 times in a year than in the other years which implies that Efficiency of management of debtors is good in the year than other. There is consistency maintained by L&T, Kansbahal and has an average of 3.60 times. The lowest ratio indicates the poor management of debtors. Average Collection Period: The ACP measures the quality of debtors since it indicates the speed of their collection. The shorter the ACP, the better the quality of debtors, since a short collection period implies the prompt payments by debtors. Average Collection Period (ACP) Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Days in a year 365 365 365 365 365 Debtors Turnover Ratio 4.27 3.96 2.86 3.03 3.89 ACP (in days) 85.48 92.17 127.62 120.46 93.83
76
L&T is able to turnover its debtors 4.27 times in a year. In other words, its debtor remains outstanding for 86 days. But in the previous years, its debtor remains outstanding for more number of days. This shows the efficient utilization of debtors.
Creditors / Payable Turnover Ratio

It indicates the speed with which the payments are made to the trade creditors. It establishes relationship between net credit annual purchases and average accounts payables. Accounts payables include trade creditors. Creditors Turnover Ratio = Net Purchases Creditors
Creditors Turnover Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Purchases 1,66,05,50,137 1,78,99,98,563 1,70,28,31,690 1,32,97,00,660 94,70,09,225 Creditors 88,67,01,395 98,65,49,929 83,50,87,133 62,82,81,770 47,79,47,196 Ratio(times) 1.87 1.81 2.04 2.12 1.98
Higher payable turnover ratio indicate less period of credit enjoyed by the business; it may be due to the fact that either business has better liquidity position; believes in availing cash discount and consequently enjoys better credit standing in the market or business credit rating among suppliers is not good and therefore they do not allow reasonable period of credit.
Working capital Turnover Ratio

The turnover ratio indicates the turnover of working capital or net current assets of the company. This indicates whether or not working capital has been
77
effectively used. It expresses the number of times the unit invested in working capital produces sale. It is calculated by simply dividing the net sales by net current assets. It helps in measuring the efficiency of the employment of
working capital. Generally speaking the higher the turnover, the greater the efficiency and larger the profits. However a very high ratio may signify a
potentially dangerous situation of the shortage of working capital. Working capital turnover ratio gives us a better and whole picture of efficiency and inefficiency than stock or inventory turnover ratio.
Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Net Current Assets
Working Capital Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Sales 3,38,49,58,254 2,97,83,53,765 2,58,72,04,708 2,31,50,28,433 1,70,92,98,528 Net Current Assets 70,43,62,533 95,56,60,369 91,43,72,348 85,85,97,867 69,30,23,272 Ratio(times) 4.81 3.12 2.83 2.7 2.47 Reciprocal of the ratios 0.21 0.32 0.35 0.37 0.40
The highest turnover is achieved in 2009-10. i.e. 4.81 and the lowest is in 2005-06. i.e. 2.47. A higher ratio indicates efficiency utilization of working capital in L&T, Kansbahal. The ratio can be used by making of comparative and trend analysis for different companies in the same industry and for various periods. The reciprocal of the ratios indicates that for one rupee of sales, the company needs Rs. 0.21 of net current assets. This gap will be met from bank borrowings and long term sources of funds.
78
Assets Turnover Ratios

Assets are used to generate sales. Therefore a firm should manage its assets efficiently to maximize sales. The relationship between sales and assets is called assets turnover. Several assets turnover ratios can be calculated: a) Net Assets Turnover: The firm can compute net assets turnover simply by dividing net sales by net assets.
Net assets turnover = Net Sales Net assets

Net assets include net fixed assets and net current assets i.e., current assets minus current liabilities. Since net assets equal capital employed, net assets turnover may also be called capital employed turnover.
Net Assets Turnover Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Net Sales 3,384,958,254 2,978,353,765 2,587,204,708 2,315,028,433 1,709,298,528 Net Assets 2,430,159,116 1,611,444,624 1,354,175,925 1,169,342,802 987,374,629 Ratio(times) 1.39 1.85 1.91 1.98 1.73
A firms ability to produce a large volume of sales for a given amount of net assets is the most important aspect of its operating performance. The net assets turnover in the year 2009-10 is 1.39 times which implies that L&T is producing Rs. 1.39 of sales for one rupee of capital employed in net assets. Net assets turnover in the year 2006-07 was good and hence forth it is declining. b) Total assets turnover: This ratio shows the firms ability in generating sales from all financing resources committed to total assets. Thus,
79
Total assets turnover = Net Sales Total assets

Total assets include net fixed assets and current assets.
Total Assets Turnover Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Net Sales 3,384,958,254 2,978,353,765 2,587,204,708 2,315,028,433 1,709,298,528 Total Assets 3,321,783,267 2,650,275,147 2,263,083,198 1,846,207,612 1,515,709,812 Ratio(times) 1.02 1.12 1.14 1.25 1.13
The total assets turnover of 1.02 times in the year 2009-10 implies that L&T generates a sale of Rs. 1.02 for one rupee investment in fixed and current assets together. c) Fixed and Current Assets Turnover Ratio
This ratio measures sales per rupee of investment in fixed and current assets. This ratio establishes the relationship between sales and fixed &
current assets. The purpose is to judge whether the firm is generating adequate sales for the investment in fixed & current assets of the firm. The term fixed assets include land and buildings, plant and machinery, furniture, etc., after the depreciation. Net fixed assets includes net block of both tangible as well as intangible assets. This ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed. A high ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization and a low ratio reflects inefficient use of assets.
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio =
Net Sales Net fixed assets

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventories are stock of the product of a company is manufacturing for sale and components that make up the product. The various forms in which inventories exist in a manufacturing company are: a) Raw materials - are materials and components that are inputs in making the final product. b) Stock-in-process - refers to goods in the intermediate stages of production and, c) Finished goods - consists of the final products that are ready for sale. Inventories constitute the most significant part of current assets of a company. On an average, Inventories are approximately 60 percent of the current assets in public limited companies in India. Inventories represent the second largest asset category for manufacturing companies, next only to plant and equipment. There are three general motives for holding inventories: Transactions motive, Precautionary motive & Speculative motive. The investment in inventory is very high in most of the undertakings engaged in manufacturing. The amount of investment is sometimes more in inventory than in other assets. About 90 percent part of working capital is invested in inventories. It is necessary for every management to give proper attention to inventory management. An efficient system of inventory management will determine: What to purchase? How much to purchase? Where to purchase? Where to store?
83
Cost associated with Inventory: There are two types of cost associated with inventory at L&T, Kansbahal. They are: i. Ordering cost are cost incurred for acquiring of raw materials. It includes Requisitioning, Order Placing, Transportation, Receiving, storing, inspecting and clerical and staff. ii. Cost incurred for maintaining a given level of inventory is called Carrying
cost. They include warehousing, handling, clerical and staff, insurance,

obsolescence and taxes. Carrying costs generally are about 25% of the value of inventories held. iii. Shortage costs arise when inventories are short of requirement for meeting the needs of production or the demand of customers. Inventory shortages may result in high costs concomitant with 'crash' procurement, less efficient and uneconomic production schedules, and customer dissatisfaction and loss of sales.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AT L&T, KANSBAHAL There are two types of inventory considered in L&T, Kansbahal. They are: General Inventories Projected Inventories. L&T, Kansbahal Works is not a process industry where only general inventories are required. They purchase the Raw Materials and stored as per their order. Those raw materials can be used only against certain order. So they purchase raw materials as per their order and against a specific job. These Inventories are projected inventories. The maximum investment by L&T, Kansbahal in inventories are of projected Inventories type. Some of the common materials which can be used in other job also are general Inventories. These Inventories required proper stock and the methods to
84
control and manage these inventories. They are: EOQ, maximum level, minimum level and re-ordering level. L&T, Kansbahal uses ERP (People Soft), which help them to find out the EOQ, maximum level, minimum level and re-ordering level. The data regarding the Stock can be found out with the help of ERP system. This system makes the control system very easy, because, at any point of time we can get the inventory status. It helps for planning and controlling of inventory. The percentage of inventory over current assets for last five years: Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Inventory 60,93,96,591 90,37,34,909 77,24,35,692 62,66,18,535 67,10,58,974 Current Assets 1,59,59,86,683 1,99,44,90,892 1,82,32,79,621 1,53,54,62,677 1,22,13,58,455 Ratio (%) 38.18 45.31 42.37 40.81 54.94
The average portion of inventory in current asset is about 45% in the last 5 years. So in L&T inventory plays a vital role in current assets.
Inventory Turnover Ratio

Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. It would indicate whether inventory has been efficiently used or not. Inventory turnover ratio indicates the number of times the stock has been turned over during the period and evaluates the efficiency with which a firm is able to manage its inventory.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Inventories at cost
85
Inventory Turnover Ratio Year 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 Net Sales 3,38,49,58,254 2,97,83,53,765 2,58,72,04,708 2,31,50,28,433 1,70,92,98,528 Inventory 60,93,96,591 90,37,34,909 77,24,35,692 62,66,18,535 67,10,58,974 Ratio(times) 5.55 3.30 3.35 3.69 2.55
A low ratio implies over-investment in inventories whereas a high ratio implies less money required to finance the inventory. From the above table, it is found that, there is an improvement in ratio which indicates the improvement in the management of inventory. The table shows that L&T is turning its inventory into sales 5.5 times in the year 2009-10 which is more as compared to the previous years which indicates there is an efficient management of Inventory. In 2005-06 the ratio is very low i.e. 2.55 times. It indicates there is an inefficient management of Inventory. A low ratio implies over-investment in inventories, possibility of stock comprising of obsolete items, slow moving products & poor selling policy; whereas a high ratio implies efficient inventory control, sound sales policies, trading in quality goods, better competitive capacity & less money required to finance the inventory.

RESEARCH FINDINGS
During my entire tenure of two months, I came to know the various theoretical concepts are used in practise. The kind of practical exposure that I have got here and the guidance given by my project guide has made me aware of theories, concepts and their applications in real industry environment which cannot be learnt in regular classroom teachings. Concepts like Capital Budgeting, Working Capital Management, Ratio Analysis, NPV, Payback period IRR and several other concepts has now become very easy to understand. L&T is a manufacturing concern where I got ample opportunity to know about the working conditions and procedures applied, which helped me a lot in achieving my objective viz., to begin my career as a financial analyst. Apart from above
