Solution:

Statement demonstrating working Capital Requirements:

(a)

Current Assets

Rs.

Rs.

 

(i)

 

Stock of raw material (2 months) (Rs.15,000 × 2)

 

 

30,000

 

(ii)

 

Work-in-Progress (1 month) Material (Rs.15,000 × 1) Labour (Rs.2,500 × 1) Overheads (Rs.5,000 × 1)

 

 

15,000

2,500

5000

 

 

 

 

22,500

 

(iii)

 

Stock of finished Goods (3 months) Material (Rs.15,000 × 3)

Labour (Rs.2,500 × 3) Overheads (Rs.5,000 × 3)

 

 

45,000

7,500

15,000

 

 

 

 

67,000

 

(iv)

 

Debtors (3 months) Material (Rs. 15,000 × 3) Labour (Rs. 2,500 × 3) Overheads (Rs. 5,000 × 3)

 

 

45,000

7,500

15,000

 

 

 

 

67,000

1,87,500

 

(B)

 

Current Liabilities:

Creditors for raw Material (2 months) Rs. 15,000 × 2)

Net working Capital required (A-B)

 

 

 

 

30,000

1,57,500

 

Working Notes:

1) Debtors have been valued and calculated on sales basis which would be Rs. 75,000 (60,000 ? 5 ? 3 ? 12). Hence, working capital taking Current Assets at total value

Working Capital required as per above statement    1,57,500 Rs.

Add: Increase in Debtors (Rs. 75,000-Rs.67, 500)     7,500 Rs.

                                                                                    1,65,000

2) Monthly amount of each components of cost is determined as follows:

 Total sales 60,000 . 5 = Rs. 3,00,000

(a)   Raw Materials =  (3,00,000 . 60)/(100 ×12)

= Rs.15,000

(b) Direct Labour =(3,00,000 . 10)/ (100 ×12)

= Rs.2,500

(c) Overheads       = (3,00,000 . 20)/ (100 ×12)

= Rs.5,000

3) This is assumed that labour and overhead in the starting. Thus, full amount of labour and overhead is involved in work-in-progress. If this is assumed that labour and overheads accrued equally, half of the amount will be comprised in work-in- progress.

4) Additional capital needed will be Rs. 35,500 it got from Rs. 1,57,500-1,25,000, since Rs. 1,25,000 is obtainable from long-term sources or share capital debentures- Fixed assets
