Overtrading

Aaziz521010y ago
Sir, 1. In Kaplan text it has stated that a rapid increase in volume of current assets is one of the reason of overtrading - the volume means in terms of units or over all CA of balance sheet ? 2. Does Overtrading company have symptoms of increase in payable days ? 3. Does Overtrading company has increase in working capital turnover ratio ? Thanks >>>> :)

Please watch my free lectures on this where I explain with an example. I cannot type out the whole lecture here! An increase in current assets is a symptom of overtrading, not a reason for it. And it is in terms of $'s not units (units only apply to inventory).
