For a Manufacturing Unit
It will have to arrange for procurement of raw material, payment
of wages to the workers
For meeting routine expenses
Stock e.g., raw material, semi-finished (work-in-process) goods
Finished marketable goods
Inventory
Accounts receivable
Even a Fully Equipped Manufacturing Unit is Sure
Collapse Without
a. An adequate supply of raw materials to process
b. Cash to meet the wage bill
c. The capacity to wait for the market for its finished products
d. The ability to grant credit to its customers
9. The Operating Cycle :
Every on-going business has got its operating cycle. The cycle itself has
different successive phases. Let us assume that initially the business
has some cash and bank balances.
1) It uses a part of these to acquire raw materials.
2) A part is used to meet the various manufacturing costs.
3) The raw materials are converted into stock-in-process which in turn
become finished goods.
4) Finished goods get sold and become Accounts Receivables.
5) On realization, the Accounts Receivable turns into cash.
6) The Cycle will repeat itself as the business goes on

14. Bangladesh Bank Guideline for Assessing
Working Capital Requirement
Prior to 29 December, 1988 there was no sector wise credit norms for
Working Capital
In 1988, a committee was formed for making recommendations on
sector wise credit norms for Working Capital
The committee recommended credit norms for Working Capital for the
10 sectors, which was circulated through BRPD circular # 30 of 1988
which was amended by BRPD Circular # 07, dated: July 05, 2000. BB
issued credit norms for the industries.

01. Capacity Utilization :
a) Existing unit : 5 % above last year’s actual capacity utilization
subject to maximum of 75%
b) New unit: 70% of sanctioned/rated capacity whichever is lower.
02. Inventory :
a) Imported raw materials: 90 days (cost at factory site)
b) Local raw materials: 30 days (cost of factory site)
c) Work-in-process: 3 days (at production cost)
d) Finished goods: 10 days (at production cost)
e) Stores and spares: 90 days (cost of factory site)
03. Receivables : 15 days (at production cost)
o4. Cash in hand : Cash requirement for other day-to day expenditure
(e.g. salary, transportation, postage, utilities, etc.) should be arranged by
the sponsors.

How to Calculate the Working Capital Requirement (WCR) ?
WCR = [Accounts Receivable + Inventory + Prepaid Expenses]
minus
[Accounts Payable + Accruals]
Starworld Group End of Year
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Accounts Receivable 232 278 362
Inventory 97 116 151
Prepaid expenses 35 20 55
Total 364 414 568
Accounts Payable 116 139 181
Accruals 36 45 55
Total 152 184 236
WCR (*) + 212 + 230 + 332
(*) As the WCR is positive, that means a Net Requirement of funds.
Starworld Group Year 2 Year 3
Accounts Receivable 46 84
Inventory 19 35
Prepaid expenses -15 35
Total 50 154
Accounts Payable 23 42
Accruals 9 10
Total 32 52
Variation of WCR (*) + 18 + 102
(*) As the variation of WCR is positive, that means a Net
Requirement of funds : 18 in 2000 and 102 in 2001.
Example : Variation of WCR :
19. Working Capital Assessment
Alternatively:
Financing need = Doc - Dap
Where,
Doc =Duration of operating cycle = Drm + Dwip + Dfg + Dar
Dap =Duration of accounts payable
Drm = Duration of raw materials stock
Dwip=Duration of WIP stock
Dfg =Duration of finished goods stock
Dar=Duration of accounts receivable
20. Working Capital Assessment
The five most common sources of short-term working capital financing:
1.Equity: If your business is in its first year of operation and has not yet
become profitable, then you might have to rely on equity funds for short-
term working capital needs. These funds might be injected from your own
personal resources or from a family member, a friend or a third-party
investor.
2.Trade creditors: If you have a particularly good relationship
established with your trade creditors, you might be able to solicit their help
in providing short-term working capital. If you have paid on time in the
past, a trade creditor may be willing to extend terms to enable you to meet a
big order. For instance, if you receive a big order that you can fulfill, ship
out and collect in 60 days, you could obtain 60-day terms from your
supplier if 30-day terms are normally given. The trade creditor will want
proof of the order and may want to file a lien on it as security, but if it
enables you to proceed, that should not be a problem.
21. Working Capital Assessment
3.Factoring: Factoring is another resource for short-term working capital financing.
Once you have filled an order, a factoring company buys your account receivable and
then handles the collection. This type of financing is more expensive than
conventional bank financing but is often used by new businesses.
4.Line of credit: Lines of credit are not often given by banks to new businesses.
However, if your new business is well-capitalized by equity and you have good
collateral, your business might qualify for one. A line of credit allows you to borrow
funds for short-term needs when they arise. The funds are repaid once you collect the
accounts receivable that resulted from the short-term sales peak. Lines of credit
typically are made for one year at a time and are expected to be paid off for 30 to 60
consecutive days sometime during the year to ensure that the funds are used for
short-term needs only.
5.Short-term loan: While your new business may not qualify for a line of credit
from a bank, you might have success in obtaining a one-time short-term loan (less
than a year) to finance your temporary working capital needs. If you have established
a good banking relationship with a banker, he or she might be willing to provide a
short-term note for one order or for a seasonal inventory and/or accounts receivable
buildup.
