Question 23 Marks
'Janata Foods Ltd.' is a restaurant situated on a national highway near Hyderabad. The following figures have been extracted from the books of Janata Foods Ltd.:
 
Stock of Raw Material
1,50,000
Short-Term Loans
1,83,000
Trade Creditors
96,000
Trade Debtors
2,25,000
Dividend Payable
1,50,000
Tax Payable

Short-Term Investments
2,28,000
From the above information, calculate the following:
  1. Gross Working Capital.
  2. Net Working Capital.
Answer
  1.  
Gross Working Capital = Sum of Current Assets
Current assets = Trade Debtors + Stock of raw materials + Short term investments
= Rs. 2,25,000 + Rs. 1,50,000+ Rs. 2,28,000
Gross Working Capital = Rs. 6,03,000.
  1.  
Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

Current assets = Trade Debtors + Stock of raw materials + Short term investments
= Rs. 2,25,000 + Rs. 1,50,000 + Rs. 2,28,000
Current Assets = Rs. 6,03,000
Current liabilities = Short Term Loans +Trade Creditors+ Dividend Payable + Tax payable
Rs. 1,83,000 + Rs. 96,000 + Rs.1,50,000 + Rs. 1,32,000
Current Liabilities = Rs. 5,61,000
Net working capital = Current Assets- Current Liabilities
=Rs. 6,03,000 - Rs. 5,61,000
= Rs. 42,000

Net profit before interest ₹ 1,40,000. Also, state what is this return on rupees per lakh of equity.
Answer
$\text{Return On Equity}=\frac{\text{Net Profit after Tax}}{\text{Equity}}\times100$$\text{Interest}=2,00,000\times {\frac{10}{100}}= \text{Rs.}20,000$
$\text{Profit after interest = 1,40,000 - 20,000= 1, 20, 000}$
$\text{ROE} \text{ }\text{ }=\frac{1,20,000}{6,00,000}\times100= {\text{20%}}$
$\text{Return on rupees per lakh = 1,00,000 x 0.2 = Rs.20,000}$
Alternate Answer
$\text{Return On Equity}=\frac{\text{Net Profit after Tax}}{\text{Equity}}\times100$
$\text{Interest}=2,00,000\times{\frac{10}{100}}=\text{Rs.}20, 000$
$\text{Profit after interest}=1,40,000-20,000= 1,20,000$

$\text{Working note: Equity}=\text{Total capital - loan}$
$=6,00,000 - 2,00,000$

So, 2 × P × D = 3,00,00,000
This divided by 1.2 = 2,50,00,000
Square root of which is 5,000
