This study is set to examine the relationship between working capital management policy and profitability of quoted food and beverages companies in Nigeria. The population comprises a sample of ten (10) food and beverage companies quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The study used secondary data for a period of ten (10) years (2005-2014) and was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of Stata version 13. Two research hypotheses were formulated and tested. It was found that, there is no significant relationship between receivable collection period (RCP) policy and profitability of quoted food and beverage companies in Nigeria. However, it was recommended that the management should identify the level of inventory which allows for uninterrupted production but reduces the investment in raw materials and minimizes reordering cost and hence increases profitability. The management should reduce their RCP from 53 days on the average to at most 30 days by instituting adequate control and flexible credit policy.

AbstractThis study aims to determine the effect of working capital management on firm value. Corporate governance is used as a moderating variable in this study to explore the role of corporate governance in the relationship between working capital management with corporate values. Program participants of Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) are used as a sample during the period from 2003 to 2011 and listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). We were using simple linear regression and the testing of moderating effects were calculated by Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results showed that the working capital management has an influence on the value of the firm. However, corporate governance variables failed to moderate the relationship between working capital management and enterprise value. It shows that companies and investors in the market still lack concern for the program response and Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) as an assessment of the application of the principles of corporate governance that has been done by the company .Keywords: Working Capital Management, Cash Conversion Cycle, Corporate Governance, Firm Values

The Relationship

Working capital management has a strategic role to maintain a balance between liquidity and profitability so that firms have greater opportunities to operate sustainably. This study mainly aims to investigate the ability of working capital management to increase sustainable growth through asset utilization. We ran panel data regression on manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the years of 2010-2017 as our sample. By controlling for leverage, sales growth, and firm size, our empirical results demonstrate that working capital management negatively affects firms' asset utilization. Furthermore, the study also finds that asset utilization positively affects sustainable growth. Finally, we empirically show that asset utilization mediates the relationship between working capital management and sustainable growth. The findings imply that if Indonesian manufacturing firms manage to have efficient working capital management, they are more likely to utilize their assets efficiently which, in turn, will increase their growth optimally, without causing problems to their cash.

The Impact

We examine the impact of efficient working capital management on market value and profitability. Using secondary data on selected firms from Dhaka Stock Exchange we explore the effects of various working capital components (i.e. cash conversion cycle (CCC), current ratio (CR), current asset to total asset ratio (CATAR), current liabilities to total asset ratio (CLTAR), debt to asset ratio (DTAR), siz,e and growth) to the firm’s performance by looking firm’s value i.e. Tobin’s Q (TQ) and profitability i.e. return on asset (ROA) and return on invested capital (ROIC). Our results show that, for both food and overall manufacturing sectors, there is a significant association between working capital variables and firm’s value & return on assets, but an insignificant association with return on invested capital.

The Impact

The paper examines the impact of working capital management on corporate profitability through the periods of 2008 to 2012. The total of seven firms listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange was studied, using secondary data generated from annual reports and accounts of the sampled companies and the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact book. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and GLS regression analysis using STATA 11. The study finds a positive relationship among Average Collection Period (ACP), Current Ratio (CR) and the size of the firm (LOGSIZE) with Profitability and a negative relationship with Inventory Turnover Period (ITP), Average Payment Period (APP). The paper therefore recommends that cash collected should be re-invested into short-term investment to generate profits and fund left idle in the cash or excessive liquidity is costly and do not lead to profitability.

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine working capital requirements and optimization of working capital at PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk. The form of research used is descriptive and uses secondary data obtained from PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk's 2015-2019 financial statements and other sources obtained from literature studies by studying books and journals that are related to the problem under study. The results showed that (1) PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk's need for working capital in 2016-2019 tends to increase. When compared with the available working capital (current assets), PT Unilever Indonesia is experiencing a lack of working capital to finance the company's operations. This lack of working capital will certainly cause PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk to experience liquidity problems, which is the inability to pay short-term obligations on time. Companies will seek credit as a source of funds in order to increase the fulfillment of current assets wealth needs in order to buy raw materials and even pay for employee salaries and other expenses. (2) PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk's optimal working capital in 2015-2018 tends to increase. The real working capital that is in the company is not optimal where the real working capital is not the same as the optimal working capital obtained. Real working capital less than optimal working capital will hamper or disrupt the smooth production or operational process because the company lacks funds. Even though the existing real working capital is not optimal, the amount obtained is not much lower than the optimal working capital.  Keywords: working capital management, workong capital requirements, optimization of working capital. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kebutuhan modal kerja dan optimalisasi modal kerja pada PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk. Bentuk penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dan menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari laporan keuangan PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk tahun 2015-2019 dan sumber lain yang diperoleh dari studi pustaka dengan mempelajari buku dan jurnal yang berkaitan dengan masalah yang diteliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) Kebutuhan modal kerja PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk tahun 2016-2019 cenderung meningkat. Jika dibandingkan dengan modal kerja yang tersedia (aset lancar), PT Unilever Indonesia mengalami kekurangan modal kerja untuk membiayai operasional perusahaan. Kekurangan modal kerja ini tentunya akan menyebabkan PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk mengalami kesulitan likuiditas, yaitu ketidakmampuan membayar kewajiban jangka pendek tepat waktu. Perusahaan akan mencari kredit sebagai sumber dana guna meningkatkan pemenuhan kebutuhan kekayaan aset lancar guna membeli bahan baku bahkan membayar gaji karyawan dan biaya lainnya. (2) Modal kerja optimal PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk pada 2015-2018 cenderung meningkat. Modal kerja riil yang ada di perusahaan belum optimal dimana modal kerja riil tidak sama dengan modal kerja optimal yang diperoleh. Modal kerja riil yang kurang dari modal kerja optimal akan menghambat atau mengganggu kelancaran proses produksi atau operasional karena perusahaan kekurangan dana. Meskipun modal kerja riil yang ada belum optimal, namun jumlah yang diperoleh tidak jauh lebih rendah dari modal kerja optimal. Kata kunci: pengelolaan modal kerja, kebutuhan modal kerja, optimalisasi modal kerja

AbstractThis paper analyses the link between working capital management and profitability of firms in the context of developing economies. A balanced panel consisting of eleven (11) manufacturing firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange covering the period of 2011-2017 was used. The link between working capital management and profitability was examined using dynamic panel regression (Arellano-Bond Estimation) technique. The study revealed that there is a significant positive linear relationship between working capital management and firms’ profitability. The findings also reveal the existence of a concave quadratic relationship between working capital management and firms’ profitability. There is an optimal level at which working capital management maximises firm’s profitability, therefore, managers need to ensure that they operate within the limits of the optimal level by implementing an effective and efficient working capital management policy. The study concludes that, the practice of an aggressive working capital management policy maximises a firm’s profitability.
