Q6.
The firms permanent working capital will reduce by tighten the collection procedures. The tighten collection procedures results in lower account receivables amount which in result lower the permanent working capital.
Working capital permanent = WCP = Receivables + Inventory – Account Payable
When tighten the collection procedures
Working capital permanent = WCPA = Receivables (reduce) + Inventory – Account Payable
Hence,
WCP >WCPA
Seasonal working capital is almost ineffective by tighter collection procedures because working capital of both peak and low operation points will reduce accordingly and the difference between both remain the same.
Seasonal working capital:
SWC = working capital at peak operation point – working capital at low operation point
When tighten the collection procedures
Seasonal working capital:
SWCA = working capital at peak operation point (reduce) – working capital at low operation point (reduce)
Working capital of both peak and low operation points will reduce accordingly and the difference between both remain the same (almost equal, not change to great extent).
SWC = SWCA
