NEED OF STUDY:

Fundamental value or intrinsic value is very important in doing an investment. The intrinsic value of the stock does not refer to market value but refers to the natural value of the stock. Through fundamental analysis, we can arrive at the fundamental value of the stock which enhances the understanding of different stock to investors. Fundamental value or intrinsic value is the actual value of the stock which can be derived from fundamental analysis and this value is very important at the time of investment to take a rational decision in investing in a stock. Fundamental analysis of stock also brings in elements like discounting, future projected projects are discounted in relation to the time value of money to find out the actual value of the stock. While investing in different stocks clear analysis is a need, without clear and rational analysis decision making will become very complex, to make it more easy and accurate fundamental analysis can be used.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

Investment is a major decision in an organization because it involves financial input and there is a certain return expected out of it. investment should give a return which is good and satisfy the expectation of the investor. The Stock meeting the expectations of the investor depends on the investment pattern the investor is using. There are multiple stocks to analyze before taking an investment decision, this analyzing process is tedious and needs a lot of standards and proven expertise and if this proven technique is not used accordingly can be misleading can lead the investor to invest in a non-performing stock. Fundamental analysis brings out the true value of a stock when used procedurally that is the intrinsic value of the stock to support the investment decision of the investor rationally. Stocks are very complex to understand and they are highly fluctuating depending on the market, to analyze them and compare them to come to decision for investment is challenging and needs a lot of expertise.

INTRODUCTION

Many finance managers, who are quite at home and competent in dealing with long term decisions, such as capital investments experience difficulties when they have to scout for funds to meet the day to day working needs. With bank finance getting increasingly scare, regulated and expensive the emphasis has shifted to closer attention to internal generation of funds and the development of the enterprises ability to raise funds in the market.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY

Working capital can be defined as the amount at funds, which a Company must have to finance tits day-to-day operations. It can also be regarded as that proportion of the companies’ total capital, which is employed in “current liabilities” which are short term assets that are normally expected to get converted into cash within a year. Current liabilities are short term liabilities maturing for the payment within a short period say one year, and they partly support the investment in current assets. In other words they serve as a source of working capital.

Net working capital is defined as the difference between current assets And current liabilities, and represents the extent to which current assets are financed by long-term funds.

Working capital management is the process of administration of current assets and current liabilities within the policy guidelines of the company.

Working capital policy is concerned with basic policy decisions regarding. The target levels each category of current assets.

The methods of financing the current assets

Current assets in many cases constitute more than half of the total Assets employed In business and therefore, it is essential to evolve an appropriate working capital policy to suit the specific needs of the firm an manage its working capital accordingly. Current liabilities that are specifically financing current assets come under the preview of working capital policy.

These are distinct from current liabilities which are consequences of past long term financing decisions, such as current maturates of long term debt or those in nature of temporary financing of capital projects which will be subsequently funded by long term sources off finance.

The aim in working capital management and policy is to maintain a proper balance between the magnitude of working capital and the general scale of operations of the company and to determine, with reference therefore, the appropriate levels of components of current assets to be maintained and the pattern of financing them.

IMPORTANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The importance of working capital management can be. Traced to the following main considerations.

a) Current assets constitute the dominant segment of the total assets employed in most business and, therefore, require more intense and careful managerial attention.

b) The investment in current assets and level of current liabilities are very sensitive to changes in sale and the funds requirements shifts rapidly, demanding quick short-term decisions to sustain smooth operations.

C) Through profitability and proper selection of investments are essential for the long fun prosperity of the business, its short-term survival depends on its liquidity or ability to meet short-term obligations fully and promptly. The precondition for liquidity is efficient management of the elements of working capital and the ability to raise sufficient short and long-term finance. The finance managers of companies will have to devote considerable time and energy in arranging short term financing obtaining favorable credit terms from the suppliers of goods and services, deciding on credit policies for credit sales, keeping n chech on the funds blocked in inventories and monitoring and directing the movement of cash in the business.
