Trade off Theory
There are three types of theory of capital structure, Modigliani-Miller, Trade off Theory, and also Pecking Order Theory. Based on the Modigliani-Miller theory, the debt 100% can finance it assets, which is impossible in the reality. Based on Pecking Order Theory, companies prioritize their sources of financing (from internal financing to equity). Internal funds are used first, and when that is depleted, debt is issued, and when it is not sensible to issue any more debt, equity is issued. Based on Trade-Off Theory, a company chooses how much debt and equity are used to finance to generate profit.
From the explanation above, the theory best describe Delta Djakarta condition is Trade-Off theory, because the company chooses how much both debt and equity is used in financing its business. Base on this trade off theory, there are some benefit of company using debt for financing, such as tax benefit of debt which means that from a tax perspective it is cheaper for firms and investors to finance with debt than with equity. In another way, there’s also disadvantage of using debt for financing, such as bankruptcy costs of debt. That’s why the company needs to focus on using debt for financing (doing the trade-off), and be careful the maximum limit of increasing and decreasing the amount of debt for financing, so that company able to optimize its overall value.

2. Analysis Working Capital Management of the Company
a) Company Working Capital from 2004 - 2008
Working capital is a common measure of a company’s liquidity, efficiency, and overall health. Because it includes cash, inventory, account receivable, accounts payable, the portion of debt due within one year, and other short-term accounts, a company’s working capital reflects the results of a host of company activities, including inventory management, debt management, revenue collection, and payments to suppliers.
Positive working capital generally indicates that a company is able to pay off its short-term liabilities almost immediately. Negative working capital generally indicates is unable to do so. One of the most significant uses of working capital is inventory.
In 2004, that is a positive working capital. The current asset is Rp299.334.225,- exceed the current liabilities is Rp72.388.645,-. So, in 2004 Delta Djakarta has 226,945,580 to paying back creditors in short-time.
In 2005, Delta Djakarta has a positive capital working like 2004, the value is Rp279.182.635,-. The value from Rp299.334.255,- (current asset) minus Rp103.622.706,- (current liabilities). The value is more than in year 2004 because the current asset in year 2005 is bigger than in year 2004. That is mean; Delta Djakarta has more possibility to paying back to creditors.
In 2006, we can see the working capital growing up from year 2005. Rp306.019.627,-. The value from Rp419.203.738,- (current asset) minus Rp110.184.111,- (current liabilities).
In 2007, Delta Djakarta show the working capital still increase from last year, the value is Rp328.882.363,-. The value from Rp432.546.745,- (current asset) minus Rp103.664.382,- (current liabilities).
In year 2008, the value is Rp347.408.764,-. The value from Rp474.010.532,- (current asset) minus Rp126.601.768,- (current liabilities). Year 2008, the working capital still show the increasing of working capital.
Working capital for Delta Djakarta Tbk. show the value is increase every year, the current asset is increase every year too. When the current asset is increase, while the current liability stays the same, the working capital tends will increase as well. In year 2006 show the current liabilities is bigger than in year 2007 but, both of them still lower than current asset of each year. So, the working capital still has positive working capital.
Analysts commonly point out that the level and timing of a company’s cash flows are what really determine whether a company is able to pay its liabilities when due. The working capital formula assumes that Delta Djakarta Tbk. really would liquidate its current assets to pay current liabilities, which is not always realistic considering some cash is always needed to meet payroll obligations and maintain operations. Further, the working capital formula assumes that accounts receivable are readily available for collection, which may not be the case for Delta Djakarta Tbk.
b) Cash Conversion Cycle from 2004 - 2008
Cash Conversion is a metric that expresses the length of time, in days, that takes for a company to convert resource inputs into cash flows. The cash conversion cycle attempts to measure the amount of time each net input dollar is tied up in the production and sales process before it is converted into cash through sales to customers. This metric looks at the amount of time needed to sell inventory, the amount of time needed to collect receivables and the length of time the company is afforded to pay its bills without incurring penalties.
Cash Conversion Analysis is very important because it represents the number of days a firm's cash remains tied up within the operations of the business. It is also a powerful tool for assessing how well a company is managing its working capital. The lower the cash conversion cycle, the more healthy a company generally is. If you compare the results of the cycle over time and see a rising trend it is often a warning sign that the business may be facing a cash flow crunch.
We can calculate the cash conversion by using the formula bellow:
CCC = avg. inventory + avg. acc receivable – avg. acc payable
COGS / 365 Revenue / 365 COGS / 365
Based on Delta Djakarta Tbk. financial data at December 31 2004 until 31 December 2008 we can determine that:
1. Base on our calculation, for 2004 the inventory conversion period shows the number of 78.29 it means that the company takes an average of 78 days to convert materials into finished goods and then sell it to the customers. And then, the receivables conversion period shows the number of 133.89 which means that the company have an average of 133 or 134 days after a sale to convert their receivables into cash. Then, for payables conversion period from the calculation we get the number of 23.35 it means that the company have the ability to pay their bills about 23 days. After that, we calculate it by using the formula above we get the number of cash conversion cycle is 188.83 or 188 – 189 days.
2. For 2005 from the data we can calculate that the inventory conversion shows the number of 70.26 which means that the company have an average of 70 days to convert their raw materials into finished goods and then sell it into the market. The receivables conversion period show the number of 122.13 it means that it takes 122 days to convert the receivables into cash. For the payables conversion period shows the number of 28.78 that means the company afforded to pay the bills within 28 – 29 days without any penalties. Then, we calculate all of this variable we get the number of 163.61 that shows the cash conversion cycle of the company in 2005 would be 163 – 164 days.
3. In the year of 2006 the inventory conversion period of Delta Djakarta Tbk. shows the number of 81.42 means that the company takes an average of 81 days to convert their material into finished goods and then sell it.

The payables conversion period shows the number of 29.18 which means that the company have an ability to pay their bills about 29 days. And then, the calculation of cash conversion cycle is about 223.24 or 223 days.
4. At 2007, The inventory conversion period is 51.73 meaning that the company takes an average of 51 until 52 days to produce their goods and then sell it into the market. The receivables conversion period is 155.80 that means the company takes an average of 155 – 156 days to collect their receivables into cash. The payables conversion period is 27.03 which means that the company afforded to pay their bills within 27 days. Then, the cash conversion cycle would be 180.5 or 180 days.
5. For 2008, inventory conversion period is 220.61 that means the company have an average of 220 – 221 days to convert their raw materials into finished goods and then sell it. The receivables conversion period is 375.56 meaning that the company takes an average of 375 – 376 days to collect their receivables and the payables conversion period is 64.72 means that the company ability to pay their bills within 64 until 65 days. From these variables we can find the cash conversion cycle is about 531.45 or it would be 531 days.
From all of the calculation of cash conversion cycle within 2004 until 2008 we can determine that Delta Djakarta Tbk. have to shortening their cash conversion cycle by doing:
· Reducing the inventory conversion period by processing and selling goods more quickly.
· Reducing the receivables conversion period by speeding up collections
· Lengthening the payables conversion period by slowing down the company’s own payments.
But based on Delta Djakarta Tbk. case we determine that the company have to reducing the receivables conversion period by speeding up collections because from the calculation of the data we get the great number of receivables conversion period especially at 2008 the receivables conversion period reach the number of 375.56 which means that the company takes the average of 375 until 376 days to collect all of their receivables. The large number of receivables conversion period make the cash conversion cycle great too. It’s risky for the company because rising trend it is often a warning sign that the business may be facing a cash flow crunch.
