13. INTERPRETATION OF WORKING
CAPITAL OF TCIL
Company’s working capital gives us a picture about its
position in the market. Though negativity does not mean
that the company is in a bad position in the market, many
firms have a negative working capital still they are holding a
top position in the market. Negative working capital is a
situation in which a business is continuing to operate in
spite of the fact that the liabilities held by the company are
more than the company’s available assets. Essentially, this
means that the accounts payable for the period of operation
is more than the account receivables for the same period.
Generally, these are short-term situations that take place
because payments related to sales generated in previous
periods have not yet been received and posted to the
receivables. At the same time, the expenses found in the
payables are posted and awaiting disposition.
14. In short…
• The negative working capitals in 2008 and
2012 are due its mother company’s policies.
• As we know that TATA STEEL is the mother
company its decision of buying the Corus
company had influenced the money supply of
the sister industries.
• Moreover, TCIL has low sales and high stocks
in its inventory in those years which indicated
less sells.
