The operating cycle of a manufacturing firm is the time required to convert raw materials into sales. It is the sum of the inventory conversion period, debtors conversion period, and creditors deferral period. There are several methods to estimate working capital requirements, including the percentage of sales method, regression analysis, cash forecasting, operating cycle method, and projected balance sheet method. Working capital is essential for businesses and can be financed through both long-term sources like equity and debt as well as short-term sources like trade credit, bank credit, and commercial papers.

The Length of the operating cycle of a
manufacturing firm is the sum of : • Inventory Conversion Period • Debtors Conversion Period • Creditors deferral Period Sales Debtors
Finished Goods Cash
WIP Raw Material
Raw Material Conversion Period = Raw Material Inventory Raw Material Consumption Per Day
Working Progress Conversion Period = Work In Process
Inventory Cost Of Production Per Day
Finished Goods Conversion Period = Finished Goods Inventory
Cost Of Goods Sold Debtors Conversion Period = Debtors Credit Sale Per Day
Gross Operating Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period
+ Debtors Conversion Period
Operating Cycle = Gross Operating Cycle + Net Operating Cycle
Net Operating Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period +
Debtors Conversion Period + Creditors deferral Period Creditors deferral Period = Creditors Credit Purchase Per Day
Net Operating Cycle = Operating Cycle
– Creditors deferral period “Working Capital is a life-blood & controlling nerve centre of a Business”. No Business can be successfully run without an adequate amount of Working Capital.
Methods of Estimating Working Capital Requirements :-
• Percentage Sales Method • Regression Analysis Method • Cash Forecasting Method • Operating Cycle Method • Projected Balance Sheet Method 1. Percentage of Sales Method : This method of estimating Working Capital is based on the assumptions that the level of the working capital of the firm is directly related to the sales value.
2. Regression Analysis Method : This method is based upon the
statistical technique of estimating or predicting the unknown value of a dependent variable of a dependent variable from the known value of an independent variable. 3. Cash Forecasting Method : This method of estimating Working Capital requirements involves forecasting of cash receipts & disbursements during a future period of time. It is similar to the preparation of the Cash Budget. 4. Operating Cycle Method : This method is based upon the operating cycle concept of working capital. WC= Cost Of Goods Sold * Operating Cycle(days) + Desired Cash Balance 365 or 360 days 5. Projected B/S Method : Under this method, Projected balance sheet for future date is prepared by forecasting of assets & liabilities by following any of the methods stated above.
