Working Capital

 Define working capital and explain the working capital cycle Prepare a cash flow forecast from given information Evaluate strategies for dealing with liquidity problems Learning Objectives

 A financial document that shows the expected movement of cash into and out of a business Based on 3 key components  Cash Inflows (Any money coming into the business, sales revenue, bank loans) – Sometimes called receipts  Cash Outflows (payments, expenses, outgoings) – sometimes called payments  Net Cash Flow – Difference between cash inflows and cash outflows 2 essential components  Opening Balance – Amount of cash at the beginning of a trading period (Will be the same as the previous months closing balance) Sometimes the case study will provide you with the first months opening balance otherwise it is usually 0  Closing Balance – Amount of cash at the end of a trading period (Opening balance + net cash flow) Cash Flow Forecasts

  Investors require a cash flow forecast in order to help them better assess the financial health of the business  Can help managers anticipate difficulties  Aids planning process  But remember…it is a forecast Reasons for cash flow forecasts

 Cash Flows Benefits  By showing periods of negative cash flow, plans can be put into place to provide additional finance  If negative cash flow appears too great, plans can be put into place to reduce Limitations  Mistakes when preparing revenue and costs forecasts – inexperienced staff  Unexpected cost increases  Wrong assumptions  Inaccurate research  Demoralised workforce There can be many limitations, at the end of the day, it’s a FORECAST

  One of the problems with having a long working capital cycle is that the business has to pay for expenses well in advance of receiving any cash inflows  If this problem is stretched out it can lead to liquidity problems Causes of cash flow problems

  Overtrading – Expanding too quickly without the sufficient resources  Over borrowing – High cash outflow  Overstocking – Business is holding too much stock, stock costs money to buy, produce and store  Poor credit control – Too much credit given to customers  Unforeseen changes - PEST Main causes of cash flow crises:
