The article considers the factors causing the formation of credit limits. There has been carried out a review of methodological approaches to analysis of credit limits described in domestic economic literature, as well as applied in practice. The advantages and disadvantages of existing methods of determining credit limits have been revealed. It has been pointed out that nowadays in the theory and practice of banking there is no generally accepted method for setting limits. On the basis of the financial model, the nature of the working capital needs of customers and its impact on the need for lending were investigated. The ratios of net working capital and own working capital are considered depending on the nature of the need, financial cycle, business profitability and conditions of settlements with counterparties. A calculation of the working capital need based on the index method is proposed. The methods for calculating the limit of working capital with temporary and permanent working capital need are substantiated. There have been made calculations of the working capital need for options characterized by increasing volumes in production and sales and by changing the terms of settlements with counterparties. The relationship between the revenue growth and the required net working capital is shown. The dynamics of own working capital growth is analyzed. Using the results, the calculation of the limit for revolving financing has been made including a one-time loan for replenishing working capital and a revolving credit line with a debt limit due to the constant need for materials procurement. In the course of analysis there were used general scientific methods and techniques: systemic and logical analysis and synthesis, comparison, building a system of indicators based on vertical and horizontal relationships between them, studying the relationship between effective (generalizing) indicators and quotients, forecasting and extrapolation, the principles of induction and deduction.

The subject of the research is the processes and systems of taxation of agricultural enterprises, their components and principles; types and amounts of taxes in Ukraine and abroad; trends of development and possible directions of improvement. The aim of the work is to identify the peculiarities of taxation of agricultural enterprises, its principles, advantages and disadvantages for the purpose of further improvement, including on the bases of studying and taking into account foreign experience. The methodological basis of the article became general scientific methods of cognition, - system-structural analysis and synthesis, dialectical, historical, abstraction. Also, these methods are generalization, grouping, comparison, absolute and relative values, other methods of research. Results of work.It is determined that the systems, mechanisms and processes of taxation of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine are in development. They require significant improvement to optimize their inherent functions. In fact, the fiscal function is traditionally prevailing in terms of distribution and regulatory factors. For this purpose, the main types of taxes and their volumes were characterized, changes in the Tax Code were assessed, the main principles, tasks and necessary structural changes in the taxation system were determined. The experience of subsidizing, insurance and taxation of agribusiness in the United States and European countries has also been studied and summarized in detail. The forms and mechanisms of tax support for small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises are especially valuable for the domestic theory and practice. The field of application of results. The results of the research can be used in the theory and practice of accounting and taxation of agrarian enterprises, management of their financial results, development of development strategies for the future, justification of the state agrarian and tax, regulatory and regional policies, with the support of the development of rural areas and local communities. Conclusions. The taxation systems of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine have certain features in terms of the components, size and principles of collection. They often change in order to improve, but the main function is fiscal. Therefore, the study and, if possible, the introduction of advanced world experience in stimulating, insurance and taxation of agricultural production, with a view to optimizing it in the long term, is of great importance.

One of the firm's financial objectives is to minimize the time between making the payment for inputs and receiving payment for the outputs – the period for which working capital financing is required in the supply chain management process. In an attempt to reduce the level of working capital, a firm has to achieve some goals: to minimize cash available, reduce accounts receivables, extend its accounts payable, and shorten inventory days. To achieve these goals supply chain activities should be related with working capital requirements. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the relationship between supply chain management and working capital management. A theoretical framework is proposed as an evidence to prove the relationship between supply chain activities and working capital components. Consequently, this chapter investigates how improvements on working capital components can add value to the supply chain process.

Subject. Lending transactions always imply terms of lending for the bank and the borrower. Modeling lending processes, users can evaluate terms of lending transactions, efficiency of lending projects and the borrower’s ability to repay a loan. Objectives. I substantiate the approach to setting a financial model of the AIC lending so that entities could replenish their working funds. Methods. The study is based on general research methods, such as a systems and logic analysis and synthesis, principles of induction and deduction, techniques of higher financial computations. In the analytical part, we apply the balance sheet method, financial ratios, feasibility studies. The data were analyzed and summarized through the correlation of resultant and partial indicators, index method, factors analysis and forecasting. Results. I reviewed the existing lending methodology and methods that banks use for lending. The literature mainly focuses on the design, principles and distinctions of financial models for lending from perspectives of borrowers. In the proposed financial model, lending is viewed from perspectives of banks. The model describes terms of a lending transaction, computes banks’ earnings on interests under loan agreements, additional financial terms of loans. I suggest applying the technique for assessing the effective margin adjusted for predicted proceeds from the transaction and the loan balance. I outline a mechanism for using financial covenant to assure the borrower fulfill terms of the deal. Conclusions and Relevance. Computations will be made more accurately if the production and financial operations of the borrower is considered in the predicted period and the way they influence terms of lending. There should be a correlation among the financial position, cash flows and demand for loans. Banks can use the model to assess terms of lending transactions and make lending decisions.

Now the scientific methodology is created, the theory and practice of the analysis and synthesis of functional safety of responsible electronic programmable devices and systems at all stages of their life cycle are developed. The basics of the methodology are fixed by standards. Methods of analysis and synthesis of functional safety are strictly formalized. They are based on the calculations of functional safety indicators with respect to failures of constituent elements and, especially, dangerous and protective failures of the system. Known methods of calculation are focused on determining the intensity and probability of dangerous failures. The objective of the proposed method lies in the fact that, in graph form, without resorting to the solution of the system of equations in the operator transformations to establish the distribution function of time until the threat or security failure, or any unhealthy condition of the system. These distribution functions determine all the necessary indicators of mean time (and, if necessary, the variance of this time) to a dangerous or protective failure. The proposed semi-Markov (Markov) operator method allows to solve a number of problems of calculation and prediction of functional safety of critical (responsible) systems. The method is formalized and suitable for subsequent computer implementation. This fact testifies to the expediency of further development of graph methods, convenient for the study of the safety of complex critical systems, devoid of the shortcomings of the proposed method in terms of the complexity of the preparatory work to determine the analytical expressions of transition probabilities in the Laplace - Stieltjes transformations. The given example of using the method has an independent value – it allows you to assess the advantages and disadvantages of ensuring functional safety by building a two-channel system without restarting the channels

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between working capital financing and firm performance for a sample of 437 non-financial Indian companies. In addition, this study examines the impact of financial constraints on working capital financing–performance relationship. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on secondary financial data of 437 non-financial Indian companies obtained from Capitaline database, pertaining to a period of 10 years (2007–2016). This study employs two-step generalized method of moments techniques to arrive at results. Findings Results of the study confirm the inverted U-shape relationship between working capital financing and firm performance. In addition, the authors also found that the firms that are likely to be less financially constrained can finance greater proportion of working capital using short-term debt. Originality/value This study contributes to the scant existing literature by testing the impact of financial constraints on the relationship between working capital financing and firm performance, representing a typical emerging market in India.

The article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the relationship and interaction between competitive strategy and the phases of the organization's life cycle. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of choice or change of strategy on changing phases of the organization's life cycle in the context of project activities. The method of analysis and synthesis, the method of systematization and analysis of literature sources were used to solve the tasks. The scientific community faces the urgent task of developing and implementing effective methods, models, and methodologies of adaptive project management. The toolkits for solving this scientific problem are the management of managed changes in the organization, management of organizational development by methods of strategic planning. Based on the analysis of different models of the life cycle of organizations, it is determined that the most perfect is the model of I. Adizes. A similar analysis was performed on the typologies of competitive strategies. It is determined that the most rational for further research in the ratio of advantages and disadvantages is the model A. Yu. Yudanov. Systematization of literature sources and approaches to solving the problem testified to the existence of developments in this scientific field, but the review process revealed a number of contradictions that need further resolution. The identified inconsistencies are mostly due to the fact that not all dependencies and correspondences are found between the types of competitive strategies and phases of the organization's life cycle. The practical value lies in the improvement of models and methods of organization adaptation to the destructive factors of the environment, justification of the choice of strategic goals by stages of the life cycle, the formation of project tools for change management in the organization. Next, it is planned to assess the level of correlation of parameters for each type of strategy according in accordance with each phase of development of the organization. The results of the study can be useful for project and program managers, senior managers.

Fairness in income distribution is a factor that both motivates employees and contributes to maintaining social stability. In Vietnam, fair income distribution has been studied from various perspectives. In this article, through the analysis and synthesis of related documents and evidence, and from the perspective of economic philosophy, the author applies John Rawls’s Theory of Justice as Fairness to analyze some issues arising from the implementation of the state’s role in ensuring fair income distribution from 1986 to present. These are unifying the perception of fairness in income distribution; solving the relationship between economic efficiency and social equality; ensuring benefits for the least-privileged people in society; and controlling income. On that basis, the author makes some recommendations to enhance the state’s role in ensuring fair income distribution in Vietnam.
