(b) The improvement <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>itability is a Cash Generator<br />

Investment should improve <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>itability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> firm and thus <strong>the</strong> liquidity term. The report 'ROI' (return on<br />

investment) reveals <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>of</strong> changes in <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong>:<br />

Change to margin, and<br />

Speed <strong>of</strong> investment.<br />

Therefore, <strong>the</strong> equation is written like this:<br />

ROI = ((BENEFIT / TURNOVER) X (TURNOVER / INVESTMENT (ASSETS))<br />

Finally, note that <strong>the</strong> simple growth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> turnover may be beneficial where <strong>the</strong> company can use even temporarily<br />

surplus liquidity on an interim basis at its disposal.<br />

These phenomena occur regardless <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> size <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company. But in <strong>the</strong> group T-man Holding and like any o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

group <strong>of</strong> companies, <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> dividends comes fur<strong>the</strong>r inflate <strong>the</strong> available <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong>.<br />

c) Self-Financing in <strong>the</strong> Group <strong>of</strong> Company IWACO / T - MAN HOLDING.<br />

The distribution <strong>of</strong> dividends is a source <strong>of</strong> liquidity at <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> a group. Indeed self-financing <strong>of</strong> a parent<br />

corporation not only his only activity results but also distributions <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>its that its subsidiaries were granted to him.<br />

In a group <strong>of</strong> companies <strong>the</strong>re is a 'facelift' dividends at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> each fiscal year. It may be interesting to 'govern<br />

<strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> dividends' so that <strong>the</strong> desired sum is <strong>the</strong> place wanted at <strong>the</strong> time.<br />

Once formed, <strong>the</strong> <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong> is immediately reinvested in various jobs for a shorter or longer period. Any misallocation<br />

translates into reduced <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>itability but also by <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong> at more or less short term. It is <strong>the</strong>refore for <strong>the</strong><br />

company to control this "permanent investment's <strong>cash</strong> <strong>flow</strong>.<br />

B. INVESTMENT OF CASH FLOWS<br />

1.1 The influence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> firm’s activity on <strong>the</strong> circulated capital<br />

Few companies escape a variation seasonal or cyclical activity. For IWACO, this translates ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>cash</strong> in <strong>the</strong> narrow,<br />

or sometimes by a bloated <strong>cash</strong>. Seeing <strong>the</strong> typology, amount and variations, <strong>the</strong> company with very large annual<br />

variations in <strong>the</strong> activity benefits from effective banking support campaign credits as was explained earlier. Yet, <strong>the</strong><br />

company when it handles <strong>the</strong>se simulated variations, <strong>the</strong>y have interest to study variations in <strong>the</strong> mass <strong>of</strong> circulating<br />

capital to better manage <strong>the</strong>ir financial resources and avoid any difficulty <strong>cash</strong>. Understanding fluctuations in<br />

circulating capital, is to know <strong>the</strong> evolution over time <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elements that make it up. These elements evolve as <strong>the</strong><br />

case may be, ei<strong>the</strong>r according to seasonality <strong>of</strong> activity (as measured by <strong>the</strong> monthly variations <strong>of</strong> turnover), or<br />

depending on <strong>the</strong> seasonality <strong>of</strong> supply (measured by <strong>the</strong> monthly pace <strong>of</strong> purchases).<br />

For that, it is recommended to calculate <strong>the</strong> seasonality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sales and <strong>the</strong> purchase and <strong>the</strong>n assess <strong>the</strong>ir impact<br />

on <strong>the</strong> different components <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> circulating capital. These indices can be calculated as follows:<br />

*The sales seasonality Index:<br />

TSI = [(Turnover x 12 / Annual Turnover)]<br />

*The Purchasing Seasonality Index<br />

PSI = [(Monthly Purchase x 12 / Annual Purchasing)]<br />
