Explain the following factors affecting the working capital requirements
of a company :
(a)
Operating Efficiency
(b)
Availability of Raw Material
Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Operating Efficiency:
Firms manage their operations with varied degrees of efficiency.
Such efficiencies may reduce the level of raw materials, finished
goods and debtors resulting in lower requirement of working
capital.
(ii)
Availability of Raw Material :
If the raw materials and other required materials are available
freely and continuously, lower stock levels may suffice.
Larger the lead time, larger the quantity of material to be stored
and larger shall be the amount of working capital required
