The purpose of the article is to determine indicators that objectively allow attracting own or debt sources for capital expansion of enterprises. Dynamic development of the agro-processing sector of the economy of Ukraine is considered on the basis of interaction of agricultural and processing complexes of Mykolaiv region of Ukraine. Methodology. Determining indicators of formation and use of capital of enterprises is carried out after studying analytical support for the factor evaluation of market trends in the production of processing enterprises of AIC (agro-industrial complex) of Mykolaiv region that has developed processing industry and is based on studies of the period from 2005 to 2009 when a situation regarding the provision of processing enterprises significantly improved but, much as today, the state of business in relation to animal products was ambiguous. Results of the research show that it was expedient to conduct a trend analysis, which purpose is comparison of the volume of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises and the production of core products by processing enterprises, determination of the main trend of dynamics of selected indicators by means of comparing each of positions in the period of 2005–2009. This allowed finding indicators for determining the requisite capital of enterprises. Practical implications. Substantiation of the financial restructuring of the capital of enterprises of AIC enables their further development in terms of European integration and will ensure the attractiveness of investing in the agricultural complex of Ukraine. Value/originality. The authors formed an approach to identifying a need for a capital of processing enterprises based on developed economic models and analytical support for the factor evaluation of production market trends that made provisions for prerequisites for adequate determination of the potential of processing enterprises of AIC. Key words: processing enterprises of agro-industrial complex, factor evaluation of production market trends, financial restructuring of capital. JEL Classification: Q12, O21, G32 1. Introduction Capital formation process is one of the prerequisites of functioning and conducting production activity, creating attractive investment image, ensuring firmness of modern domestic enterprises and successful realization of possibilities of their development in the long run, which defines necessity of identifying indicators of activity that determine the formation and rational use of enterprise capital. Limiting possibilities of enterprises in relation to production, capital due to its mobility contributes to solving such economic tasks as: a combination of production and product demand; innovative development of production activity; reducing and cheapening costs of production and services. In 2017, Ukraine sold agricultural products in the amount of 17.9 billion USD (2016 – 15.5 billion). In a total volume of foreign trade in agricultural and food products, the share of export is 79.4%. The most exported are grain crops – 36.2%, vegetable oil – 25.1%, and oil seeds – 11.3%. Supplies of Ukrainian processed and food products considerably increased for the 2017  year. However, the export of crop production (mainly raw materials) increased by 2.1  billion USD and was 16.7  billion USD. More important for the economy export of animal products grew by 371.4 million USD and reached about 1.3 billion USD [/zn.ua/ECONOMICS/6]. Thus, the need for capital is growing and requires using developed and proven methodological approaches to its formation and use. Baltic Journal of Economic Studies 80 Vol. 3, No. 5, 2017 2. The modern use of economic retro research Processing chain of the agro-industrial sector has the most efficient ties with agricultural enterprises, which are based on the organizational-economic unity of production, storage, and processing of products. Analytical support for the factor evaluation of production market trends of processing enterprises of AIC of Mykolaiv region characterised by developed processing industry is based on research of the period from 2005 to 2009 when a situation regarding the provision of processing enterprises significantly improved but, much as today, the state of business in relation to animal products was ambiguous since the volume of sales of cattle and poultry increased but of milk and eggs – decreased.

Indicators of primary production for processing enterprises of AIC of Mykolaiv region for 2005–2009 are presented in Table 2. During 2005–2009, volumes of a gross collection of grain crops by all categories of farms of Mykolaiv region are increasing that is also peculiar to the present time, however, reduction of cattle and cow population in all types of households is also observed. 3. A methodological approach to determining indicators of the enterprise capital formation In order to find results of the analysis of supply of processing enterprises of Mykolaiv region, a trend analysis is conducted, which purpose is to compare volumes of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises and production of core products by processing enterprises, determine the main trend of dynamics of selected indicators by means of comparing each of positions in the period of 2005–2009. Table 3 Data on dynamics of volumes of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises of Mykolaiv region for 2005–2009 Year Volume of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises of Mykolaiv region, million UAH 2005 2,24 2006 2,44 2007 1,45 2008 3,26 2009 2,65 During the analysed period, there is observed a tendency for increasing volumes of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises of Mykolaiv region. The exception is a decrease in the indicator in 2007; the value was 1.45  million UAH, which is determined, on the one hand, by general decline in production under the economic crisis, on the other, by low level of capital concentration, which makes it impossible to increase the volume of purchases of raw materials from manufacturing enterprises. Similar problems are also taking place in processing enterprises of AIC today. Thus, directions obtained that point at a need for enterprises’ capital expansion can be used in modern practice. Adjustment of time series is carried out by a right line described by a trend equation as a function: tY a at= +0 1 (1) where а0, а1 – parameters of trend equation; t – sequence number of time periods. We determine trend equation parameters а0 and а1 from the system of equations: a n a t y a t a t y t o i i n i i n o i i n i i n i i n i + = + = = = = = = ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 (2) Estimated data for analytical adjustment of time series of production of core products by processing enterprises of AIC in Mykolaiv region, we determined by the linear trend (Table 5).

According to findings, the forecast of volumes of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises and production of core products by processing enterprises of Mykolaiv region for 2010–2019 is made, which will allow grounding on the dynamics of dependence between these indicators. According to the obtained trend equation for the volumes of agricultural products sold to processing enterprises, the forecast value of the indicator in 2010– 2019 will be Y2010=9,27+0,69х6=18,54; Y2011=9,27+0,69х7=21,63; Y2012=9,27+0,69х8=24,72; Y2013=9,27+0,69х9=27,81; Y2014=9,27+0,69х10=30,9; Y2015=9,27+0,69х11=33,99; Y2016=9,27+0,69х12=38,07; Y2017=9,27+0,69х13=40,14; Y2018=9,27+0,69х14=43,26; Y2019=9,27+0,69х15=46,35 For the production of core products by processing enterprises of AIC – Y2010=3,41+1,04х6=26,7; Y2011=3,41+1,04х7=31,15;Y2012=3,41+1,04х8=35,6; Y2013=3,41+1,04х9=40,05;Y2014=3,41+1,04х10=44,5; Y2015=3,41+1,04х11=48,95; Y2016=3,41+1,04х12=53,4; Y2017=3,41+1,04х13=57,85; Y2018=3,41+1,04х14=62,3; Y2019=3,41+1,04х15=66,75.
