Solution:

Statement of Gross Working Capital Requirements

Current Assets:                                                                                      Rs.                       Rs.

(i)  Raw Material (2 months) (Rs. 2,500 ? 100 ? 2)                                                          5,00,000

(ii)  Work in progress (1 month)

Raw material (Rs. 2,500 × 100 × 1)                                                      2,50,000

Mfg. Expenses (Rs. 2,500 × 30 × 1)                                                      75,500                   3,25,000

(iii) Finished goods (1/2 months)

Raw Material (Rs. 2,500 × 100 × 5)                                                      1,25,000

Mfg. Expenses (Rs. 2,500 × 30 × .5)                                                     37,500                  1,62,500

(iv) Debtors (1 month) (Rs. 2,500 × 150 × 1)                                                                     3,50,000

(v)     Cash                                                                                     13,62,500                71,711

(5percent of gross working capital that is, 13,62,500 ? 5/95)                 14,34,211                    

Gross Working Capital Required 

Working Notes:

1. Finance expenses and selling administration are not contained in the value of closing stock of finished goods although added in the cost of sales for valuing debtors.

2. It is assumed as degree of completion of work-in-progress is 100 percent as regards labour, overhead and materials and as manufacturing and material expenses for the full period are involved in the cost of work-in-progress.

3. It is assumed that each sale is credit sales.

4. Profit has not been termed as source of working capital thus fully ignored.
