ABSTRACT

This work is based on establishing the relationship between efficient and effective working capital and profitability in  Nigeria Manufacturing company using  PZ cussion Nigeria   Pieas  a  case study.    The researcher used   ten  years  (2000-2009)    financial statement  of  the  above  firm as secondary data.  Working capital ratios and   profitability   ratio    are  derived from   the financial statement and their relationship were established using regression analysis.    It  was  deduced  that   working    capital    in manufacturing      firms     has    no   significant    relationship    with


profitability;    though,  a    relationship   exists.    It     is   therefore recommended    amongst    others     that    liquidity    management activities should  be more organized through the use of idle funds for  productive investments.
