hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video till
[16]
the end and if you're new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[21]
clicking the bell icon today we have a topic that is a trade receivables a part
[26]
of balance sheet in the current assets I trade receivables are like you know your
[31]
customers which have some outstanding news there have some outstanding use to
[35]
be paid why this is really important for any business let's learn this if you see
[40]
trade receivables over here that's 4.66 billion over here and
[44]
1.48 it's for Colgate that's in blue 1.48 and
[48]
Procter & Gamble's to 4 billion so what exactly is the difference here okay
[53]
let's understand this see Trade Receivables is an accounting entry in the
[56]
balance sheet of so which arises due to you know selling of the goods and
[63]
services by the entity to its customers on credit basis so since this is an
[69]
amount which the entity has a legal claim you know or its customers and also
[78]
the customer is bound to pay same to the entity it is classified as the current
[82]
assets in the balance sheet of the entity so the trade receivable and the
[86]
account receivables are used interchangeably in the industry but
[90]
similar to the account receivable company also have the non trade
[93]
receivables which arises on account of the transactions unrelated to the
[100]
regular course of the business okay now trade receivables on the balance sheet
[103]
and let's talk about that the standard format of the balance sheet of an
[108]
enterprise let me show you that this is the standard format of Colgate you know
[112]
you see the asked site on the trade receivable there is in current assets
[115]
that is cash then there is a receive net of allowances of 77 and 73 respect to
[121]
then they have inventories other current assets total current assets and then all
[125]
the tangible path starts so what exactly this is all about let's discuss now see
[129]
this is generally classified under the current assets in the balance sheets
[132]
right we'll take an example here to understand this in a more conceptual map
[138]
let's say there is a company called ABC corporation in an electrical equipment
[143]
manufacturing company so it has recorded its sales
[146]
let's say at 100 u.s. billion dollars of financial ad but let's say
[150]
and 30% of the sales on credit 30% or sales is uncredited
[155]
to its corporate customers so the trade receivables accounting entry for the
[159]
transaction is the balance sheet will be shown something like this the total
[163]
sales or financially FY18 is going to be how much 100 billion so
[168]
everything will be in terms of billion then there will be credit sales
[173]
30% we have account receivables and trade
[176]
receivables that will be let's total sales as a percentage of sale on
[183]
basically credit and then you have account receivable and trade
[188]
receivables as 100% 100 here that is 100 billion into 30%
[194]
right so that that comes down to how much USD 30 billion dollars so that is
[199]
the amount of the credit sales and as an account receivable it would be shown in
[202]
the balance in this example the account receivable recorded is at 30 billion
[206]
dollar in the current asset in the current assets head in the balance sheet
[210]
now why the trade receivable is a very you can see a critical aspect I want to
[217]
understand this why exactly this is critical see I'll try and try to
[221]
demonstrate that why account receivables are very critical for the liquid it will
[225]
become me in many times it becomes a very sole reason for the company is
[229]
becoming bankrupt so the liquidity analysis of the enterprise comprises of
[233]
company short-term financial positions right and ability to pay its short
[241]
liabilities so one of the most important metric we look at while analyzing the
[246]
liquidity position with the company is the cash conversion cycle and cash
[252]
conversion cycle is the you know number of days which an enterprise takes to
[257]
convert its inventory into cash okay so it's something like this you have
[267]
inventory over here then you do a sale so you get trade receivables because
[272]
some won't be receivables some will be like you know on a credit basis for the
[278]
same trade visible you get cash here and finally that cash that you need
[283]
to pay to the account Accounts Payable that is to the suppliers so this is the
[286]
whole chain of the whole cycle you can see that right so the above this thing
[292]
you know inventory Trade Receivables cash AP it explains in a way it's the
[297]
inventory cycle so for an enterprise it starts with the purchase of the
[299]
inventory from the AP right which may be on cash or credit purchase the
[304]
enterprise converts that into finished goods okay and and makes sales out of it
[309]
the sale are made for cash and credit the sales made on the credit is recorded
[312]
as trade receivables so the cash conversion cycle is the total number of
[316]
the days it takes for an enterprise to convert it its inventory to finish goods
[322]
and then to make a final sales with trade receivables and the total number
[326]
of days it takes the enterprise to convert its inventory into final sales
[329]
and realization of the cash so the formula for the cash conversion cycle
[333]
CCC it's triple C days receivable plus days of inventory less
[344]
Days payable outstanding so from the above formula it is evident you know
[350]
that the company with a significantly higher proportion of trade receivable
[354]
will have higher days of receivables and therefore higher cash conversion cycle
[360]
what you need to know that of course you know the CCC Triple C depends on the
[364]
other two factors also which are days of inventory outstanding and days people
[371]
outstanding however here to explain the impact with the receivables we have kept
[375]
other two parameters in different so you can say the higher cash conversion cycle
[384]
for an enterprise may lead to a significant increase in the working
[388]
capital and once the trade receivables have level the reaches the alarming
[392]
level it may create a serious trouble for the enterprise creating you know a
[395]
short term liquidity issues which company will not be able to fund its
[400]
short term liabilities which may be further lead to suspending operations of
[404]
the company so this this can lead this can happen absolutely happen now trade
[410]
receivable as an important part of the working capital loan assess so
[413]
company avails the working capital that WC loans to meet its short of
[418]
requirement for you know day-to-day operations so the assessment for the
[422]
amount of the working capital you know it limit it limits is limit is carried
[426]
out by the lenders are taking into account all the current assets of the
[431]
company and since the receivables make the important and considerable part of
[435]
the total current assets and company it is critical for the lenders to access
[439]
the level off for trade receivables as well you know all the quality of the
[445]
receivables to approve working capital limits for the company now let me run
[448]
you through the trade receivables analysis part and interpretation part
[455]
let me let me run you through that see the liquidity analysis and
[458]
interpretation for the level of the trade receivables should always be
[461]
looked in the context of some specific industry okay now there are certain
[466]
industry which operates in an environment with you know a high level
[469]
of receivables so a typical example of same is like you know electricity what
[473]
we call as generation companies operating in India where receivables
[476]
level are very high and days receivables for generation companies are
[480]
varies between as low as you know 1 month to as high as closely to 9
[485]
months okay so on the other hand there are companies which operate which work
[490]
with virtually very less on no trade receivables so companies are operating
[494]
and roll road projects developer and operator have very fewer accounts
[500]
receivables as the revenue is toll collection from the computers or
[504]
commuters on the road and they collect the toll from the commuters as when they
[509]
pass by the toll plaza so for a meaningful analysis one should look at
[513]
the the trade receivables levels of the top 4 or 5 companies in a respect
[517]
to industry and if your target company has you know let's say a higher
[520]
receivable other than the 4 companies in the same industry when the company is
[524]
doing something wrong either in the term of the business model or the client or
[529]
the customers or targeting or incentive in terms of the credit sales so to
[534]
conclude one can safely assume that lower the trade receivable levels and
[537]
days receivables is better the liquidity position so that's it for this
