WCR fend off takeover bid

WCR fend off takeover bid: The WCR estimation ensures that a firm takes corrective action in time to correct its WC status. This ensures that the firm is always in a positive WC status. In other words, the firm will be able to pay off all its short-term debt from short-term funds and also maintain its operations. In a otherwise situation, when WCR estimation is not done regularly the firm might be called to pay all its short term obligations and may have to resort to issue of equity shares. However this means that new shares will be floated and the owners may lose their majority position in the business, which might be taken over by someone who is simply purchasing the majority of total existing shares. In case of positive WC the situation of issue of new shares will not arise.
