Permanent working capital

 - Sharp conversion of one year revolving working capital (RWC) loans into permanent working capital (PWC) loan

- however, can business model of those business justify those PWC loans

-[ (a) Permanent working capital: This type of working capital is known as Fixed Working Capital. Permanent working capital means the part of working capital which is permanently locked up in the current assets to carry out the business smoothly. The minimum amount of current assets which is required to conduct the business smoothly during the year is called permanent working capital.

Fixed working capital can further be divided into two categories as under: 

1. Regular Working capital: Minimum amount of working capital required to keep the primary circulation. Some amount of cash is necessary for the payment of wages, salaries etc. 

2. Reserve Margin Working capital: Additional working capital may also be required for contingencies that may arise any time. The reserve working capital is the excess of capital over the needs of the regular working capital is kept aside as reserve for contingencies, such as strike, business depression etc.](https://www.srcc.edu/sites/default/files/B.A.(Hons.)%20Eco_Sem-II_Finance(GE)_WorkingCapital_RuchikaChoudhary.pdf)


- can we say??

1. even for traders and importers- to sustain demand they must maintain certain level of WC to meet immediate demand else they will go out of business

2. but except for meeting those demands, all else WC must be circulating 

3. for manufacturer there will always be WC requirement need as process of production will take time and it must run smoothly. however, there too as per demand required WC will be fixed as long as demand is fixed. As i/p-o/p ratio will be fixed and demand for new and innovative products will show increasing trend of demand or in new geographical or other market areas


We can say that PWC then, to be measurable fact and it depends upon the business model of the borrower. Also, PWC can not be higher than RWC unless and until banks decide to provide loan to wine like product manufacturers. 


can we say if PWC > RWC then, such firms have trouble in managing liquidity and also business model is kind of failure as (hypo):

for traders leverage work to expand volume as they are in low cost strategy margin is fixed. fixed margin push to increase volume to accumulate more wealth. if they are fixing leveraged WC in fixed way then when they are going to expand volume and maximize their profit.

for manufacturers too, ratio must be kept fixed to demand (hence sales revenue) else they too will collapse by liquidity problem


risk of wrong classification:

RWC in Nepal are already of permanent nature, they lack principal movement and are source of interest movement alone, by legalizing them as PWC without assessing their business model will further postponed their recovery. 

Guideline of PWC must be prepared by sound people in every bank according to their risk profile and NRB should also have sound monitoring and provisioning guidelines for PWC. Accountants should also develop model to assess nature of assets based on their underlying nature than legal forms.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
