CASH MANAGEMENT 1.1 INTRODUCTION: Cash is the important current asset for the operations of the business. Cash is the basic input needed to keep the business running on a continuous basis; it is also the ultimate output expected to be realized by selling the service or product manufactured by the firm. The firm should keep sufficient cash, neither more nor less.

Cash shortage will disrupt the firm’s

manufacturing operations while excessive cash will simply remain idle, without contributing anything towards the firm’s profitability. Thus, a major function of the financial manager is to maintain a sound cash position.

Cash is the money which a firm can disburse immediately without any restriction. The term cash includes coins, currency and cheques held by the firm, and balances in its bank accounts. Sometimes near-cash items, such as marketable securities or bank times deposits, are also included in cash. The basic characteristic of near-cash assets is that they can readily be converted into cash.

Generally, when a firm has excess cash, it invests it in marketable

securities. This kind of investment contributes some profit to the firm.

NEED FOR THE STUDY

The importance of Cash management in any industrial concern cannot be overstressed. Under the present inflationary condition, management of Cash is perhaps more important than even management of profit and this requires greatest attention and efforts of the finance manager. It needs vigilant attention as each of its components require different types of treatment and it throws constant attention on exercise of skill and judgment, awareness of economic trend etc, due to urgency and complicacy the vital importance of Cash.

The anti-inflationary measure taken up by the Government, creating a tight money condition has placed working capital in the most challenging zone of management and it requires a unique skill for its management. Today, the problem of managing Cash has got the recognition of separate entity, so its study and management is of major importance to both internal and external analyst to judge the current position of the business concerns. Hence, the present study entitled “An Analysis on Cash Management” has been taken up.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURE

10

MEANING:

Cash is the money which a firm can disburse immediately without any restriction. The term cash includes coins, currency and cheques held by the firm, and balances in its bank accounts. Sometimes near-cash items, such as marketable securities or bank times deposits, are also included in cash. The basic characteristic of near-cash assets is that they can readily be converted into cash.

FACETS OF CASH MANAGEMENT:

Cash management is concerned with the managing of: (i) Cash flows into and out of the firm, (ii) Cash flows within the firm, and (iii) Cash balances held by the firm at a point of time by financing deficit or investing surplus cash. It can be represented by a cash management cycle. Sales generate cash which has to be disbursed out. The surplus cash has to be invested while deficit this cycle at a minimum cost. At the same time, it also seeks to achieve liquidity and 11

control. Cash management assumes more importance than other current assets because cash is the most significant and the least productive asset that a firm’s holds. It is significant because it is used to pay the firm’s obligations. However, cash is unproductive. Unlike fixed assets or inventories, it does not produce goods for sale. Therefore, the aim of cash management is to maintain adequate control over cash position to keep the firm sufficiently liquid and to use excess cash in some profitable way.

Cash management is also important because it is difficult to predict cash flows accurately, particularly the inflows, and there is no prefect coincidence between the inflows and outflows of cash. During some periods, cash outflows will exceed cash inflows, because payments for taxes, dividends, or seasonal inventory build up. At other times, cash inflow will be more than cash payments because there may be large cash sales and debtors may be realized in large sums promptly. Further, cash management is significant because cash constitutes the smallest portion of the total current assets, yet management’s considerable time is devoted in managing it. In recent past, a number of innovations have been done in cash management techniques. An obvious aim of the firm these days is to manage its cash affairs in such a way as to keep cash balance at a minimum level and to invest the surplus cash in profitable investment opportunities.

In order to resolve the uncertainty about cash flow prediction and lack of synchronization between cash receipts and payments, the firm should develop appropriate strategies for cash management. The firm should evolve strategies for cash management. The firm should evolve strategies regarding the following four facets of cash management.



Cash planning: Cash inflows and outflows should be planned to project cash surplus or deficit for each period of the planning period. Cash budget should be prepared for this purpose.

12



Managing the cash flows: The firm should decide about the properly managed. The cash inflows should be accelerated while, as far as possible, the cash outflows should be decelerated.



Optimum cash level:

the firm should decide about the appropriate level of cash

balances. The cost of excess cash and danger of cash deficiency should be matched to determine the optimum level of cash balances. 

Investing surplus cash: The surplus cash balances should be properly invested to earn profits. The firms should decide about the division of such cash balances between alternative short-term investment opportunities such as bank deposits, marketable securities, or inter-corporate lending.

MOTIVES FOR HOLDING CASH The firm’s need to hold cash may be attributed to the following three motives: 

The transactions motive



The precautionary motive



The speculative motive

TRANSACTION MOTIVE The transactions motive requires a firm to hold cash to conduct its business in the ordinary course. The firm needs cash primarily to make payments for purchases, wages and salaries, other operating expenses, taxes, dividends etc. The need to hold cash would not arise if there were perfect synchronization between cash receipts and cash payments, i.e., enough cash is received when the payment has to be made. But cash receipts and payments are not perfectly synchronized. For those periods, when cash payments exceed cash receipts, the firm should maintain some cash balance to be able to make required payments. For transactions purpose, a 13

firm may invest its cash in marketable securities. Usually, the firm will purchase securities whose maturity corresponds with some anticipated payments, such as dividends or taxes in the future. Notice that the transactions motive mainly refers to holding cash to meet anticipated payments whose timing is not perfectly matched with cash receipts.

PRECAUTIONARY MOTIVE The precautionary motive is the need to hold cash to meet contingencies in the future. It provides a cushion or buffer to withstand some unexpected emergency. The precautionary amount of cash depends upon the predictability of cash flows. If cash flows can be predicted with accuracy, less cash will be maintained for an emergency. The amount of precautionary cash is also influenced by the firm’s ability to borrow at short notice when the need arises. Stronger the ability of the firm to borrow at short notice, less the need for precautionary balance. The precautionary balance may be kept in cash and marketable securities. Marketable securities play an important role here. The amount of cash set aside for precautionary reasons is not expected to earn anything; the firm should attempt to earn some profit on it. Such funds should be invested in high-liquid and low-risk marketable securities. Precautionary balances should, thus, be held more in marketable securities and relatively less in cash.

SPECULATIVE MOTIVE

The speculative motive relates to the holding of cash for investing in profit-making opportunity to make profit may arise when the security prices change. The firm will hold cash, when it is expected that interest rates will rise and security prices will fall. Securities can be purchased when the interest rate is expected to fall; the firm will benefit by the subsequent fall in interest rates and increase in security prices. The firm may also speculate on materials prices. If it is expected that materials prices will fall, the firm can postpone materials purchasing and make purchases in future when pric4e actually falls. Some firms may hold cash for speculative purposes. By and large, business firms do not engage in speculations. Thus, the primary 14

motives to hold cash and marketable securities are: the transactions and the precautionary motives.

CASH PLANNING

Cash flows are inseparable parts of the business operations of firms. A firm needs cash to invest in inventory, receivable and fixed assets and to make payment for operating expenses in order to maintain growth in sales and earnings. It is possible that firm may be making adequate profits, but may suffer from the shortage of cash as its growing needs may be consuming cash very fast. The ‘poor cash’ position of the firm cash is corrected if its cash needs are planned in advance. At times, a firm can have excess cash may remain idle. Again, such excess cash outflows. Such excess cash flows can be anticipated and properly invested if cash planning is resorted to. Cash planning is a technique to plan and control the use of cash. It helps to anticipate the future cash flows and needs of the firm and reduces the possibility of idle cash balances ( which lowers firm’s profitability ) and cash deficits (which can cause the firm’s failure).

Cash planning protects the financial condition of the firm by developing a projected cash statement from a forecast of expected cash inflows and outflows for a given period. The forecasts may be based on the present operations or the anticipated future operations. Cash plans are very crucial in developing the overall operating plans of the firm. Cash planning may be done on daily, weekly or monthly basis. The period and frequency of cash planning generally depends upon the size of the firm and philosophy of management. Large firms prepare daily and weekly forecasts. Medium-size firms usually prepare weekly and monthly forecasts. Small firms may not prepare formal cash forecasts because of the nonavailability of information and small-scale operations. But, if the small firms prepare cash projections, it is done on monthly basis. As a firm grows and business operations become complex, cash planning becomes inevitable for its continuing success. 15

OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE SIZE OF CASH BALANCE

1. Availability of short-term credit: To avoid holding unnecessary large balances of cash, most firms attempt to make arrangements at borrow money is case of unexpected needs. With such an agreement, the firm normally pays interest only during the period that the money is actually used.

2. Money market rates: If money will bring a low return a firm may choose not to invest it. Since the loss or profit is small, it may not be worth the trouble to make the loan. On the other hand, if interest rates are very high, every extra rupee will be invested.

3. Variation in cash flows: Some firms experience wide fluctuation in cash flows as a routine matter. A firm with steady cash flows can maintain a fairly uniform cash balance.

4. Compensating balance: If a firm has borrowed money from a bank, the loan agreement may require the firm to maintain a minimum balance of cash in its accounts. This is called compensating balance. In effect this requires the firm to use the services of bank a guaranteed deposit on which it pays no interest. The interest free deposit is the bank’s compensation for its advice and assistance. 16

CASH MANAGEMENT – BASIS STRATEGIES

The management should, after knowing the cash position by means of the cash budget, work out the basic strategies to be employed to manage its cash.

CASH CYCLE:

The cash cycle refers to the process by which cash is used to purchase materials from which are produced goods, which are them sold to customers. Cash cycle=Average age of firm’s inventory +Days to collect its accounts receivables -Days to pay its accounts payable.

The cash turnover means the numbers of times firm’s cash is used during each year.

360 Cash turnover = ---------------Cash cycle

The higher the cash turnover, the less cash the firm requires. The firm should, therefore, try to maximize the cash turn. 17

MANAGING COLLECTIONS:

a) Prompt Billing: By preparing and sending the bills promptly, without a time log between the dispatch of goods and sending the bills, a firm can ensure earlier remittance.

b) Expeditious collection of cheques: An important aspect of efficient cash management is to process the cheques receives very promptly.

c) Concentration Banking: Instead of a single collection center located at the company headquarters, multiple collection centers are established.

The purpose is to shorten the period between the time

customers mail in their payments and the time when the company has use of the funds are then to a concentration bank – usually a disbursement account.

d) Lock-Box System: With concentration banking, a collection center receives remittances, processes them and deposits them in a bank. The purpose is to lock-box system is to eliminate the time between the receipt of remittances by the company and their deposit in the bank. The company rents a local post office box and authorizes its bank in each of these cities to pick up remittances in the box. The bank picks up the mail several times a day and deposits the cheque in the company’s accounts. The cheques are recorded and cleared for collection. The company receives a deposits the cheque in the company’s accounts. The cheques are recorded and cleared for collation. The 18

company receives a deposit slip and a lift of payments. This procedure frees the company from handling a depositing the cheques.

CONTROL OF DISBURSMENT

a) Stretching Accounts Payable A firm should pay its accounts payables as late as possible without damaging its credit standing. It should, however, take advantages of the cash discount available on prompt payment.

b) Centralized Disbursement One procedure for rightly controlling disbursements is to cenrealise payables in to a single account, presumably at the company’s headquarters. Such an arrangement would enable a firm to delay payments and can serve cash for several reasons. Firstly, it increases transit time. Secondly, if a firm has a centralized bank account, a relatively smaller total cash balances will be needed.

c) Bank Draft Unlike an ordinary cheque, the draft is not payable on demand. When it is presented to the issuer’s bank for collection, the bank must present it to the issuer for acceptance. The funds then are deposited by the issuing firm to cover payments of the draft. But suppliers prefer cheques. Also, bank imposes a higher service charge to process them since they require special attention, usually manual.

19

d) Playing the float The amount of cheques issued by the firm but not paid for by the bank is referred to as the “payment float”. The differences between “payment float” and “collection float” are the net float. So, if a firm enjoys a positive “net float”, it may issue cheques even if it means having an ever drown account in its books. Such an action is referred to as “playing the float”, within limits a firm can play this game reasonably safely. Thus management of cash becomes essential and it should be seen to, that neither excessive nor inadequate cash balances are maintained.

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

The cash flow analysis is done with the help of cash flow statement. A cash flow statement is a statement depicting changes in cash position from one period to another. It is an important planning tool. Cash flow statement gives a clear picture of the source of cash, the uses of cash and the net changes in cash. The primary purpose of cash flow statement is to show that as to where from the cash to be acquired and where to use them.

UTILITY OF CASH FLOW ANALYSIS A Cash flow analysis is an important financial tool for the management. Its chief advantages are as follows.

1. Helps in efficient cash management

20

Cash flow analysis helps in evaluating financial policies and cash position. Cash is the basis for all operation and hence a projected cash flow statement will enable the management to plan and co-ordinate the financial operations properly. The management can know how much cash is needed from which source it will be derived, how much can be generated, how much can be utilized.

2. Helps in internal financial management Cash flow analysis information about funds, which will be available from operations. This will helps the management in repayment of long-term debt, dividend policies etc.,

3. Discloses the movements of Cash Cash flow statement discloses the complete picture of cash movement. The increase in and decrease of cash and the reasons therefore can be known. It discloses the reasons for low cash balance in spite of heavy operation profits on for heavy cash balance in spite of low profits. 4. Discloses success or failure of cash planning The extent of success or failure of cash planning be known by comparing the projected cash flow statement with the actual cash flow statement and necessary remedial measures can be taken.

DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM CASH BALANCE

One of the primary responsibilities of the financial manager is to maintain a sound liquidity position of the firm so that the dues are settled in time. The firm needs cash to purchase raw materials and pay wages and other expenses as well as for paying dividend, interest and 21

taxes. The test of liquidity is the availability of cash to meet the firm’s obligations when they become due. A firm maintains the operating cash balance for transaction purposes. It may also carry additional cash as a buffer or safety stock. The amount of cash balance will depend on the riskreturn trade-off. If the firm maintains small cash balance, its liquidity position weakens, but its profitability improves as the released funds can be invested in profitable opportunities (marketable securities). When the firm needs cash, it can sell its keeps high cash balance, it will have a strong liquidity position but its profitability will be low. The potential profit foregone on holding large cash balance is an opportunity cost to the firm. The firm should maintain optimum – just to enough, neither too much nor too little – cash balance. How to determine the optimum cash balance if cash flows are predictable and if they are not predictable.

Optimum cash balance under certainty BAUMOL’S MODEL The Baumol model of cash management provides a formal approach for determining a firm’s optimum cash balance under certainty. It considers cash management similar to an inventory management problem. As such, the firm attempts to minimize the sum of the cost of holding cash (inventory of cash) and the cost of converting marketable securities to cash. The baumol’s model makes the following assumptions: 

The firm is able to forecast its cash needs with certainty.



The firm’s cash payments occur uniformly over a period of time.



The opportunity cost of holding cash is known and it does not change over time.



The firm will incur the firm sells securities and starts with a converts securities to cash.

Baumol’s model for cash balance

Cost trade-off: Baumol’s model Optimum Cash Balance under uncertainty: The Miller-Orr Model The limitation of the Baumol model is that it does not allow the cash flows to fluctuate. Firms in practice do not use their cash balance uniformly nor are they able to predict do not use their cash inflows and outflows. The Miller-Orr model overcomes this shortcoming and allows for daily cash flow variation. It assumes that net cash flows are normally distributed with a zero

23

value of mean and a standard deviation. The MO model provides for two control limits-the upper control limit and the lower control limit as well as a return point. If the firm’s cash flows fluctuate randomly and hit the upper limit, then it buys sufficient marketable securities to come back to a normal level of cash balance (the return point). Similarly, when the firm’s cash flows wander and hit the lower limit, it sells sufficient marketable securities to bring the cash balance back to the normal level (the return point)

1. The Latest Trends in North American Cash Management Steve Wilder, Senior Vice President and JPMorgan Chase Treasury Services Western Hemisphere Corporate and Financial Institutions Sales Executive The Drive towards Efficiency, Transparency, Standardization and Integration Fragmentation is a key driver of corporate inefficiency. This has long been the case in the movement of paper checks and related remittance documents within the U.S. payments system, and the flow of goods, trade-related documents and funds within the broader global supply chain. As corporate treasurers pursue end-to-end automation for treasury and supply-chain activities, they understand that to achieve straight-through processing — and the subsequent optimization of working capital globally — they must integrate the payment and information components of a transaction.

24

Based on this drive for efficiency, three interrelated trends are shaping North America’s cash management landscape today. First, corporate treasurers and their banks are driving the convergence towards electronic payments to better integrate money and information flows. Second, there is a parallel convergence in international trade towards open account, electronic payment and the automation of information flows, as treasury pushes to integrate the physical and financial supply chains. On both fronts, solutions are emerging to digitize paper wherever it persists. Third, as companies continue to expand globally — and information and money flows follow — treasury is focused on standardizing processes and strengthening internal controls. The objective is to create transparency across a range of business activities to manage risk and ensure financial reporting integrity in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley 2. CASH MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL BUDGETING PRACTICES Virginia department of transportation Richmond, Virginia.

Our review has found that Transportation has made significant progress or completed most of the recommendations made in our 2002 special report. Complete implementation of these changes will take at least four to five years.

Over the last two years, Transportation’s management has started not only implementing recommendations, but more importantly begun implementing a change in the corporate and cultural structure of the organization. The success of change with Transportation will depend on whether a true structural change in organization takes place. The measure of success will require a substantial long-term commitment by management to not only making the change, but to prevent backsliding into Transportation’s old approaches.

In some ways, the accomplishments to date are the easy part of change. The harder part lays ahead in funding and implementing new systems, continuing to make the changes to get closer to capital budgeting process, and overcoming Transportation’s corporate and cultural 25

structure to improve project management. The success of this effort is highly dependent on management guidance and direction, and current management has demonstrated their dedication towards this effort. If any management change occurs, it is essential that they have the same commitment; otherwise, progress may be negatively impacted.

Transportation is restoring fiscal accountability by implementing several budgetary and financial changes, including adopting a debt management policy and model. Additionally, they are establishing a methodology to identify statewide transportation priorities and developing project management policies. Transportation has completed several budgetary and financial changes, including attempts to make the Six-Year Improvement Program a realistic management tool and reduce the projects with a deficit status. However, to ensure accurate matching on cash inflows and outflows, Transportation must begin estimating the cost of projects by fiscal year. Transportation does not currently have sufficient controls and processes in place to manage the rate at which they spend funds. For major projects, Transportation has begun assigning a project management team that follows a project from its inception to its completion. However, it is still too early in the process to determine if the policies put into place will provide Transportation with better project management. However, the actions to date are those considered best practices in both the private and public for large organizations. Maintenance is still an area of concern at Transportation. The growing maintenance requirements and the limited ability to budget on a needs-based approach increases the risk of inappropriately applied funding. Once the asset management system is fully implemented a needs-based approach will be possible and Transportation will be able identify and prioritize maintenance projects.

3. Ms. Katherine M. Landmann Controller Washington University in St. Louis Campus. This final report presents the results of our audit of the cash management procedures used by Washington University in St. Louis (University) to control the funds paid by the Payment Management System (PMS) during the three years ended June 30, 2000.

We found that the University did not have adequate policies and procedures in place to monitor daily cash balances and to precisely calculate interest earned on positive daily cash balances. In monitoring the daily cash balances, the University did not consider (1) outstanding checks and (2) overhead costs as incurred. In addition, the University did not use the appropriate interest rates when calculating the interest remitted to the Federal government.

We determined that the amount of excess interest remitted by the University was comparable to the amount of interest that should have been remitted if appropriate procedures had been used. We believe that this occurrence was a coincidence due to off setting factors in the University’s calculation of the amount to be remitted.

We are recommending that the University revise its written policies and procedures to effectively monitor the daily cash balance and to accurately compute the Federal remittance. We made four specific recommendations for improving the University’s cash management procedures. The University concurred with two and is still evaluating the third. However, they 27

did not accept our fourth recommendation. The University’s response is included in its entirety as Appendix A.

Cash Management by Enid Beverly Jones It is a Financial Overview for School Administrators is a succinct overview of public school finance, presenting concepts of importance to both site-based and central-office leaders. A pragmatic blend of theoretical concepts and factual information provides readers with an excellent synopsis of public school finance. The economics and politics of education are discussed in the context of human capital and the role of public education in the United States as an investment in human capital. Author Enid Jones, who is an associate professor of school finance at Fayetteville State University, stresses the importance of investment in human capital and its necessity for an educated, productive workforce. The chapter on adequacy and equity provides an understanding of the two concepts so frequently debated in school finance. As more states struggle with funding issues, this subject matter is timely and useful. Cash Management seems intended for use nationwide with information on basic school business procedures, including budgeting and financing of school facilities. The use of lay terminology and relevant examples make the book valuable both in graduate school classes on educational leadership and in the hands of practicing administrators.

TEXTILE INDUSTRIES

o

The Indian Textile industry is highly fragmented sector.

o

Industry is fully vertically integrated across the whole value chain and interconnected with various operations.

o

Textile Industry comprises small-scale, medium-scale, large-scale, non-integrated, spinning, weaving, finishing, and apparel-making firms and enterprises.

o

This is an unorganized sector and includes Handlooms, Powerloom, Hosiery, Knitting, Readymade Garments, Khadi, Carpet and Handicrafts manufacturing units.

o

The organized Mill Sector comprises of spinning Mills, and Composite Mills where spinning, weaving, and processing activities are done.

o

The Fibre and Yarn Sector of the textile industry includes Textile Fibers, Natural Fibers such as Cotton, Jute, Silk and Wool; Synthetic / Man-Made fibers such as Polyester, Viscose, Nylon, Acrylic and Polypropylene.

o

The Man-Made Textile Sector includes Fibre and Filament Yarn manufacturing units of Cellulosic and Non-Cellulosic origin. The Cellulosic Fibre/yarn Industry is controlled by the Ministry of Textiles, and the Non-Cellulosic Industry is controlled by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers.

o

India is the largest producer of Jute, the 2nd largest producer of Silk, the 3rd largest producer of Cotton and Cellulosic Fibre/Yarn and 5th largest producer of Synthetic Fibers/Yarn.

Silk production is regarded as an important tool for economic development of a country. The Central Silk Board is a statutory body established for administrative control of the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. It gives advise to the Central Government on all matters relating to the development of silk industry including import and export of raw silk. The textiles ministry is expecting that India's silk export is likely to touch ` 7,000 crore by 2012. The textiles ministry is creating more awareness to the farmers about silk and also giving training to use of new technologies to silk production. Silk industries are using modern and scientific production techniques for produce silk products and achieve high import to other countries. The Indian silk industry is an integral part of the Indian Textile Industry and is among the oldest industries in India. The silk industry in India engages around 60 lakh workers and it involves small and marginal farmers. Today, the textile industry is a global industry and we are living in a world full of volatility in commodity prices, foreign exchange, and interest rates. Since raw cotton presents such a large percentage of total input cost, bad judgments in price fixations can seriously affect the profitability of a company. More and more cotton growers and textile mills around the globe employ the services of consultants to assist them with their cotton pricing and risk management decisions. This is not surprising as cotton is the only major input cost item over which a textile mill has cont

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. [1]

The

type

of

silk

is

obtained

from

the cocoons of

the larvae of

mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering

appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors. Silks are produced by several other insects, but generally only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There has been some research into other silks, which differ at the molecular level.[2] Many silks are mainly produced by the larvae of insects undergoing complete metamorphosis, but some adult insects such as webspinners produce silk, and some insects such as raspy crickets produce silk throughout their lives.[3] Silk production also occurs

in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps,

and ants),silverfish, mayflies, thrips, leafhoppers, beetles, lacewings, fleas, flies and midges.[2] Ot her types of arthropod produce silk, most notably various arachnids such as spiders (see spider silk). ORGANISATION STRUCTURE General Executives
