    A model for working capital requirements andcorporate liquidity management

  • 8/7/2019 Ayan Sur(Lanco)

    14/19

    Abstract

    A significant (and positive) development in corporate financial management over

    recent years has been an increased emphasis on liquidity and the management of

    operating cash flows. Reasons for this increased emphasis include economic

    recession, corporate restructuring activities, and the need to increase and conserve

    operating cash flaws to meet higher debt service requirements or finance more

    modern facilities. In the academic, as well as the professional, world old tools are

    being reassessed and new tools developed to aid the treasury professional in the

    efficient management of corporate cash resources. The purpose of this paper is to

    integrate two tools of liquidity management; the cash conversion period and the net

    liquid balance.

    The Cash Conversion Period

    Initially presented by Richards and Laughlin ( 1980); the cash conversion period is

    now routinely discussed in most corporate finance textbooks. (See for example,

    Brigham and Gapenski (1997), Moyer, McGuigan, and Kretlow (1998), and Gitman

    (1998.) The cash conversion period measures the number of days between the

    actual expenditure of the firm's cash for the purchase of productive resources and

    the ultimate collection of cash from product sales. Incorporated within the cash

    conversion period model are management issues involving the control of

    inventories, the collection of receivables, and the timing of payments for productive

    resources such as materials and labor. In the cash conversion model, increases in

    the number of days a product remains in inventory, increases in the number of days

    required to collect receivables following the point of sale, and decreases in the

    number of days a firm takes to meet its trade credit obligations will increase the

    firm's cash conversion period. The increased cash conversion period reflects

    additional resources required in the form of working capital to maintain the firm's

    operations.

    A weakness of the cash conversion period model is its inability to clearly convert the

    number of days in the conversion period to a dollar amount of needed working

    capital. Additionally, the model does not reflect the distinction between cash sales

    and credit sales. For instance, two firms may have the same receivables conversion

    period but have different credit sales/total sales ratios.

    In the standard cash conversion period model (all else the same) both firms would

    have the.same cash conversion period. However, the firm with the lower credit

    sales/total sales ratio would clearly be in a better position to meet obligations as

  • 8/7/2019 Ayan Sur(Lanco)

    15/19

    they come due since a larger portion of its sales are collected sooner and with

    greater certainty.

    Further, the cash conversion period model does not reflect the effect of profitability

    on liquidity. As the model focuses on the length of time between the expenditure of

    resources to produce operating revenue and the actual receipt of the revenue, it

    fails to recognize that the revenue received will exceed the expenditure by the

    amount of profit earned. Since the profit represents additional resources available

    to meet obligations, profitability is clearly a contributing factor to overall corporate

    liquidity. As shown later, the gross profit margin and the credit sales/total sales ratio

    can be incorporated into the cash conversion period model. The modified cash

    conversion period can then be easily converted to dollar amount of working capital

    needed to sustain the firm's operating cycle. This amount of net working capital

    required for operations (NWCROP) would then serve as input in an assessment of

    overall corporate liquidity.

    Net Liquid Balance

    Shulman and Cox (1985) and Shulman and Dambolena (1986) developed a useful

    tool for liquidity analysis known as Net Liquid Balance (NLB). Essentially, the NLB

    model recognizes that the firm's ability to meet its obligations as they come due is

    not reflected by the firm's total working capital, but by the amount of working

    capital remaining once the requirements of the firm's operating cycle are met.

    Alternatively, the NLB is the difference between the firm's immediately available

    cash resources and its non-operating, or negotiated, short-term debt. Empirical

    tests conducted by Shulman and Dambolena indicate the NLB to be a superior

    indicator of corporate liquidity when compared to more widely known indicators

    such as the quick ratio. A problem with the NLB model is that the NLB is a residual

    amount remaining after the working capital needed to sustain the firm's operating

    cycle (NWCROP) is deducted from total working capital. Hence, a means of

    estimating the amount of working capital needed to sustain the operating cycle is

    needed to make liquidity analysis using NLB operational. As shown below, NWCROP

    can be estimated using the modified cash conversion period model and then used

    as an input to the NLB model thereby improving the effectiveness of the NLB model

    in assessing corporate liquidity.

    A Modified Cash Conversion Period

    The traditional cash conversion period (CCP) and its components can be

    presented as follows:

  • 8/7/2019 Ayan Sur(Lanco)

    16/19

    (1) CCP = ICP RCP - PDP

    Where: CCP = cash conversion period

    ICP = inventory conversion period

    RCP = receivables conversion period

    PDP = payables deferral period

    The modified cash conversion period (MCCP) is obtained by modifying the inventory

    conversion period to incorporate the gross profit margin and the receivables

    conversion period to incorporate the credit sales/total sales ratio.

    The Modified Inventory Conversion Period

    The Modified Cash Conversion Period and Working Capital Requirements

    The MCCP/NWCROP Model: A Numerical Illustration

    Exhibit 1 provides a numerical example using the MCCP/NWCROP model. Assuming

    hypothetical values for the components of the traditional cash conversion period,

    annual sales, gross profit margin, and the ratios of purchases and credit sales to

    total sales, the MCCP and NWCROP (using both the traditional CCP and the MCCP) is

    determined. Performing a sensitivity analysis of the firm's sales, gross profit margin,

    and credit sales/sales ratio shows some interesting results.

    Sales and Working Capital Requirements

    Financial professionals and educators routinely warn of the liquidity dangers

    awaiting a firm that experiences rapid sales growth without proper financial

    planning and controls. The rising level of sales requires additional funding to

    support the inevitable increases in inventories and receivables that accompany

    growth. The positive relationship between sales and working capital requirements is

    shown in Figure 1. The slopes of the lines depicting the relationship are functions of

    the components of the firm's cash conversion period and modified cash conversionperiod. Figure 1 also shows the difference in working capital requirements for a

    given level of sales when NWCROP is estimated using the MCCP as opposed to the

    traditional CCP. Using the traditional CCP to estimate NWCROP results in the firm

    overestimating its working capital requirements as sales grows. Using the data in

    Exhibit l, we see that the modified CCP estimates of working capital requirements

    are less than those indicated by the traditional CCP by almost 20%. Thus,

  • 8/7/2019 Ayan Sur(Lanco)

    17/19

    incorporating the effects of the gross profit margin and the CS/S ratio result in a

    significant difference in the estimation of working capital requirements needed to

    support sales growth. For a given level of total working capital, a firm may have

    more resources available for non-operating purposes than is indicated by the

    traditional CCP approach. Hence, the use of the traditional CCP as a liquidityindicator may systematically underestimate the firm's true ability to meet its

    obligations as they come due.

    Working Capital Requirements and the CS/S Ratio

    Figure 2 shows the relationship between NWCROP and the credit sales/total sales

    ratio (CS/S). As the CS/S ratio increases, additional working capital is required. This

    is intuitively obvious since a higher CS/S ratio results in more receivables for a given

    sales level. Working Capital Requirements and Profitability

    Figure 3 shows the relationship between NWCROP and the firm's gross profit

    margin. As the gross profit margin increases the need for working capital to support

    operations decreases. Incorporating profitability helps to make the cash conversion

    period a better indicator of liquidity. The traditional CCP failed to recognize that the

    cash inflow at the conclusion on the operating cycle is greater than the cash outflow

    at the beginning of the cash conversion period. The incremental amount of cash

    flow between the start and end of the cash conversion cycle is directly related to

    profitability. The modified CCP incorporates the effect of the additional cash

    resources made available by the generation of earnings from the firm's operating

    cycle. Clearly, the more profitable the enterprise, the more cash resources

    generated from soperations.

    Corporate Liquidity, Working Capital Requirements and MCCP

    The Net Liquid Balance approach to assessing corporate liquidity divides the firm's

    total working capital into the portion required to sustain the firm's operations and

    the firm's surplus cash resources or Net Liquid Balance (NLB). A positive value for

    NLB indicates that the firm has sufficient cash resources to meet its short-term

    obligations without reducing the resources allocated to the operating cycle. Anegative value for NLB indicates that the firm will have to acquire additional

    working capital or reduce the resources committed to the operating cycle to meet

    short-term obligations. If the components of the MCCP are considered to be at

    optimal levels, reducing resources committed to the operating cycle may result in

    lost sales, less operating efficiency, and/or a deterioration in relations with trade

    creditors. All of these are symptoms of a firm with liquidity problems.

  • 8/7/2019 Ayan Sur(Lanco)

    18/19

    Financial managers and analysts can use the NLB as a measure of the firm's current

    or expected future liquidity. The level of working capital necessary to support

    operations (NWCROP) can be estimated for current or expected sales levels using

    optimal values for the components of MCCP. The desired level of NWCROP can then

    be compared to the firm's actual net working capital. If desired NWCROP exceedsavailable working capital (NLB

    Conclusion

    The purpose of the paper is to integrate two tools of liquidity management; the cash

    conversion period and the net liquid balance. The traditional cash conversion model

    was modified to incorporate the effects of the firm's profitability and credit

    sales/total sales ratio. The modified cash conversion period was then used to

    estimate the working capital needed to support the firm's operating cycle

    (NWCROP). The optimal level of NWCROP, when compared with available workingcapital provides an indication of the surplus or deficit position of the firm with

    respect to available resources not committed to the operating cycle. A surplus or

    rising amount of available resources is an indicator of adequate or improving

    liquidity for the firm.
