Explain Permanent and Temporary Working Capital

    Gerstenberg has conveniently classified the working capital into

(a) Regular or Permanent Working Capital and

(b) Temporary or Variable Working Capital.

1.   Permanent Working Capital:
It is the minimum working capital required for producing predetermined production

Permanent working is the minimum investment kept in the form of inventory of raw materials, work in process, finished goods, stores & spare, and book debts to facilitate uninterrupted operation of a firm.

Though this investment is stable in the short run, it certainly varies in the long run depending upon the expansion programmers undertaken by a firm. It may increase or decrease over a period of time.

The minimum level of current assets maintained in a firm is usually known as permanent or regular working capital.

2.   Temporary Working Capital:
It is the additional current assets required for temporary period, and it is above permanent WC

A firm is required to maintain an additional current asset temporarily over and above the permanent working capital to satisfy cyclical demands. Any additional working capital apart from permanent working capital required to support the changing production and sales activities is referred to as temporary or variable working capital.

In Other workds, an amount over and above the permanent level of working capital is temporary, fluctuating or variable working capital.

At times, additional working capital is required to meet the unforeseen events like floods, strikes, seasonal production and price hike tendencies contingencies.

  4. I’m Артур Борис a resident/citizen of the Republic Of Russian. I’m 42 years of age, an entrepreneur/businessman. I once had difficulties in financing my project/business, if not for a good friend of mine who introduced me to Mr Pedro to get a loan worth $250,000 USD from his company. When I contacted them it took just five working days to get my loan process done and transferred to my account. Even with a bad credit history, they still offer their service to you. They also offer all kinds of loans such as business loans, home loans, personal loans, car loans. I don’t know how to thank them for what they have done for me but God will reward them according to his riches in glory.
