An Evaluation of The Efficiency of Working Capital in A Dental Laboratory

Abstract

Purpose:  The purpose of the study was to look at the company's financial performance and determine whether working capital and profitability are related. Components like accounts receivable, accounts payable, and bill collection period were examined to evaluate the efficacy of the company.

Theoretical framework:  A major component of raising profitability and financial stability—which eventually benefits stakeholders—was found to be increasing working capital effectiveness. It is therefore advised that to improve overall financial performance, businesses give top priority to streamlining their working capital management procedures.

Design/methodology/approach:  The statistical tools known as data analysis tools are employed to measure correlation, which expresses the degree of similarity or variance between two variables without indicating a cause-and-effect link. Financial tools, on the other hand, are accounting ratios or financial ratios that show the relative magnitude of certain numerical values taken out of the financial statements of an organization.

Findings: The results showed a positive relationship between profitability and working capital effectiveness. Companies that showed higher likelihood measures were those with well-managed working capital components. A major component of raising profitability and financial stability—which eventually benefits stakeholders—was found to be increasing working capital effectiveness.

Research, Practical & Social implications: A business has to maintain a minimum amount of working capital in order to guarantee daily operational efficiency and attain long-term growth. Working capital for the company may be obtained from several sources. To evaluate the company's financial condition, liquidity, profitability, risk, solvency, efficiency, operational effectiveness, and judicious use of available money, this research uses ratio analysis. To evaluate the company's past, present, and future performance, a thorough financial assessment is conducted. The primary aim of this investigation was to examine the correlation between working capital and profitability while concurrently evaluating financial performance.

Originality/value: The value of the study therefore advised that to improve overall financial performance, businesses give top priority to streamlining their working capital management procedures.
