2.RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is the mathematical relationship
between two quantities in the form of a fraction or percentage. It is essentially concerned with
the calculation of relationships which after proper identification and interpretation may provide
information about the operations and state of affairs of a business enterprise.
The analysis is used to provide indictors of past performance in terms of critical success factors
of a business. This assistance in decision making reduces reliance on guesswork and intuition
and establishes a basis for a sound judgment
In financial analysis, a ratio is used as a benchmark for evaluating the financial position and
performance of a firm. The absolute accounting figures reported in the financial statements do
not provide a meaningful understanding of the performance and financial position of a firm.
Absolute figures expressed in monetary terms in financial statements by themselves are
meaningless. These figures do not convey much meaning unless expressed in relation to other
figures.
For example: One trader Rohit earns a profit of Rs. 2,00,000, whereas another trader Ronit earns
a profit of Rs. 2,50,000.
Which one is more efficient?
Generally, we can say that Ronit is more efficient as he is earning more profits. But in order to
give the correct answer, we must find out how much the capital is employed by each of them?
Suppose, Rohit has employed a capital of Rs. 10,00,000 and Ronit has employed 15,00,000. We
can now calculate the percentage of profit earned by each of them on the capital employed:
Rohit = 2,00,000 /10,00,000*100 = 20%
Ronit = 2,50,000 715,00,000*100 = 17%
This shows that Rohit has earned Rs. 20 for every Rs. 100 of capital, whereas Ronit has earned
Rs. 17 for every Rs. 100 of capital. As, Rohit is using his capital more efficiently.
The above example shows that figures assume significance only when expressed in relation to
other figures. Just as in the example given above, the absolute figure of profit was meaning less
but when the figure of profit was expressed in relation to capital, it assumed significance.
9
Thus, we can say that the relationship between two figures, expressed in arithmetical terms is
called a 'RATIO'.
In the words of R.N. ANTHONY:
"A ratio is simply one number expressed in terms of another. It is found by dividing one number
into the another".
Ratio may be expressed in the following three ways:
1. Pure Ratio or Simple Ratio:

It is expressed by the simple division of one number by another. For example, if the
Current Assets of a business are Rs. 2,00,000 and Current Liabilities are Rs. 1,00,000, then
the ratio of "Current Assets to Current Liabilities" will be 2:1.
2. Rate or So Many Times:

In this type, it is calculated how many times a figures is, in comparison to another figure.
For example, if a firm's credit sales during the. year are Rs. 2,00,000 and its debtors at the
end of the year are Rs. 40,000, its DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO = 2,00,000/40,000 = 5
times. It shows that the credit sales are 5 times in comparison to debtors.
3. Percentage:
In this type, the relation between the two figures is expressed in hundredth. For example, if
a firm's capital is Rs. 10,00,000 and its profit is Rs. 2,00,000, the ratio of profit to capital in
terms of percentage = 2,00,000/10,00,000*100 = 20%.

3. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Review of literature is the most useful and simple method of formulating the research problem.
The researches done by previous researchers are reviewed and their usefulness is evaluated to
serve as basis for further research. Thus researcher reviews builds upon the work of others. The
reviews that are collected by the researcher should give an insight into the field under study. The
reviews must explain the need and scope of the study under consideration. It is not necessary
that the reviews are to be in accordance with the objectives. Being a layman in the research field,
I as a researcher have covered reviews that are related to Credit Rating Agencies.
Ria Goel (2007): Ratio Analysis Caffe Nero, Ratio Analysis is A tool used to conduct a
quantitative analysis of information in a company's financial statements. Ratios are calculated
from current year numbers and are then compared to previous years, other companies, the
industry to judge the performance of the company. Caffè Nero Group plc, the leading
independent UK coffee house operator of 282stores, which has been voted the top rated brand by

Cndymn91(2006); Financial Ratio Analysis Report Of Ford Motor Company, Any successful
business owner or investor is constantly evaluating the performance of the companies they are
involved with, comparing historical figures with its industry competitors, and even with
successful businesses from other industries. To complete a thorough examination of any
company's effectiveness, however, more needs to be looked at than the easily attainable numbers
like sales, profits, and total assets. Luckily, there are many well-tested ratios out there that make
11
the task a bit less daunting. Financial ratio analysis helps identify and quantify a company's
strengths and weaknesses, evaluate its financial position, and shows potential risks. As with any
other form of analysis, financial ratios aren't definitive and their results shouldn't be viewed as
the only possibilities. However, when used in conjuncture with various other business evaluation
processes, financial ratios are invaluable. By examining Ford Motor Company's Financial ratios,
along with a few other company factors, this report will give a clear picture of
how the company is doing now and should do in the future.
This is a trend table of Ford's financial ratio for the previous five years:
Ford motor company:
Ratios 12/31/2004 12/31/2003 12/31/2002 12/31/2001 12/31/2000
Return on equity(%) 22.65, 7.9, 5.08, -70.04, 29.07
Return on assests(%) 1.19, 0.29, 0.1, -1.97, 1.9
Current ratio(%) 0.47, 0.52, 0.51,0.37, 0.33
Quick ratio(%) 0.29, 0.35, 0.35, 0.22, 0.22
Akehrig(2007): Ak Steel Ratio Analysis, The current ratio has shown an upward trend
overall which is an indication that AK Steel is increasing their ability to meet their short-
term obligations. This ratio is increasing due to the fact that AK's current assets are
growing at a faster rate then their current liabilities. Over the 4-year span (2003-2006)
their cash has increased $464,700,000 with an ending balance in 2006 of $519,400,000.
The current ratio suggests that AK Steel is in very good standing with enough cash to make
moves in the future. The inventory turnover ratio has increased over the 3 year span from
6.44 to 6.55 and is significantly higher then the competition. This shows a slight increase
however it is still an area in which AK can work to improve. Because steel companies work
on such small margins, a falling steel market can have a drastic effect on the net profit if
there is leftover, high priced, inventory. This is an area in which a company can always
work to improve their efficiency because it will pay off on their bottom line in the future.

Apur Basarker(2007): financial Analysis Of Hmt,Industrialization commenced in earnest only
after the independence in 1947. From a predominantly agrarian economy, India has moved
towards rapid industrialization with the state retaining the privilege of entrepreneurship an
authority in a system of mixed economy. For four decades, the focus had been on the public
sector, which was perceived as a means of achieving industrial growth with social justice.
It was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru the 1st prime minister of independent India, who laid the
foundation of a strong industrial base for the country. It was he who should be given the chief
credit for fostering the creation of a rich scientific and technological pool by which the country is
benefiting today. During his time many dams were built such as the one at Bhakra Nangal. In the
mixed economy followed during that period as per his brand of socialist ideology, in which both
the public and private sectors were given the scope and the opportunities to grow. The private
sector was allowed to function along with public enterprises, but under the control of the
government with strict licensing and supervision. Initially, this led to a rapid industrialization
with large capital-intensive industries in the public sectors. A number of state owned industrial
enterprises were established in various sectors - In steel, power, heavy engineering etc. It cannot
be denied that much of the industrial and scientific advance achieved by India of which are
proudly boasted today owe a lot to his foresight and vision. He called all these projects, The
Temples of Modern India, “that would bring about the country progress and prosperity. But
unfortunately many of the state owned and run enterprises in various sectors did not function
successfully and satisfactorily due to structural, operational, managerial, marketing, and other
such deficiencies so that the public sector came to be looked upon as inefficient, not yielding.
Vadu Krishna(2008): Annual report analysis of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited, Financial
statements provide an overview of a business' financial condition in both short and long term.
They help in understanding the past performance of the company and making future predictions
about the company. It thus helps us to look beyond the profit figures. There are 3 basic financial
statements are used. They are income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, the
purpose of financial statements "The objective of financial statements is to provide information
about the financial position, performance and changes in financial position of an enterprise that
is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions."[Financial statements should be
13
understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable. Reported assets, liabilities and equity are
directly related to an organization's financial position. Reported income and expenses are directly
related to an organization's financial performance. Financial statements are intended to be
understandable by readers who have "a reasonable knowledge of business and economic
activities and accounting and who are willing to study the information diligently."Owners and
managers require financial statements to make important business decisions that affect its
continued operations. Financial analysis is then performed on these statements to provide
management with a more detailed understanding of the figures. These statements are also used as
part of management's annual report to the stockholders.Employees also need these reports in
making collective bargaining agreements (CBA) with the management, in the case of labor
unions or for individuals in discussing their compensation, promotion and rankings, External
Users: are potential investors, banks, government agencies and other parties who are outside the
business but need financial information about the business for a diverse number of reasons.
Icarr (2006): Nike, Inc. Financial Ratio Analysis, In assessing the significance of various
financial data, experts engage in financial analysis, the process of determining and evaluating
financial ratios. A ratio is a relationship that indicates something about a company's activities,
such as the ratio between the company's current assets and current liabilities or between its
accounts receivable and its annual sales. The basic source for these ratios is the company's
financial statements that contain figures on assets, liabilities, profits, and losses. Ratios are only
meaningful when compared with other financial information. Since compared with industry data,
ratios help an individual understand a company's performance relative to that of competitors, and
used to trace performance over time (Venture Line, 2005).
Kalmah(2009); MODERN CEMENT, Ratio Analysis, Activity Analysis .Interpretations: Short

Term Activity ratios calculate the operational efficiency regarding the utilization of short term
assets. Inventory Turnover Ratio: The ratio tells about how many times Inventory turnover is
made or complete in a given year. Higher the ratio is better that mean the inventory is turnover
very quickly. Inventory Turnover Ratio 1.11 in 2003 indicates that company can sell total
14
finished goods (inventory) 1.11 times every year. Increase in this ratio indicates the efficiency in
managing inventory, which is not present in this company as we can the declining rate over the
past years. This also indicates that the reserve of inventory and inventory holding cost is high for
this company. Inventor Turnover Period: The ratio tells about number of days inventory remains
in the stock and lower the ratio and better it is. From the table we can see that the ratios are too
high which also indicates Modern Cement is inefficient in managing its inventory.

Arunam Jain(2008): Ratio Analysis Of Tcs Wipro Infosys, CURRENT RATIO. It is a liquidity
ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations. Also known as "liquidity
ratio", "cash asset ratio" and "cash ratio". By putting to test a company's financial strength,
deduces company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities (debt and payables) with its short-
term assets (cash, inventory, receivables).The higher the current ratio, the more capable the
company is of paying its obligations. An acceptable current ratio varies by industry. Generally,
the more liquid the current assets, the smaller the current ratio can be without cause for the

Simon Mohun (2008) In the decomposition of the US macroeconomic pre-tax rate of profit as
the product of profit share and capital productivity, this paper considers the role of capital
productivity over the period 1964–2001. The primary finding is that prior to 1982 capital
productivity fell because capital deepening proceeded faster than labour productivity growth,
whereas from 1982 to 1997 the opposite occurred. If, prior to 1982, the US economy was
characterized by Marx-biased technical progress, what requires explanation is why labour
productivity continued to grow after 1982 in the absence of sufficient capital deepening. The
paper explores various hypotheses, contrasts neoclassical and classical notions of technical
change, and investigates the robustness of its results to the productive–unproductive distinction
and to accounting for changes in capacity utilization.
Antonio C. David (2007) In this paper we attempt to analyze whether price-based controls on
capital inflows are successful in insulating economies against external shocks. We present results
from vector autoregressive (VAR) models, which indicate that Chile and Colombia, countries that
adopted controls on capital inflows, seem to have been relatively well insulated against certain
types of external disturbances. Subsequently, we use the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL)
approach to co-integration in order to isolate the effects of the capital controls on the pass-
through of external disturbances to domestic interest rates in those economies. We conclude that
there is evidence that the capital controls have allowed for greater policy autonomy.
Lilia Costabile(2004) A ‘disequilibrium’ between saving and investment decisions determines a

maladjustment in production, the disruption of capital, and a downturn in economic activity,
according to the ‘Austrian’ approach. By contrast, the ‘Dynamists’ argue that it may lead to
economic growth, as disequilibrium may well be instrumental to capital accumulation. What
explains these different predictions in otherwise similar models? The key is in the interplay
between the analytical features and the ideological options underlying each of these approaches:
alternative lines of thought, entirely compatible with their analytical models, were abandoned by
some of these authors when they conflicted with their pre-analytical views. This paper illustrates
the argument by exploring the models of two ‘fathers’, von Mises and Robertson.

understood as a science of studying how research is done systematically.
According to D. Slesinger and M. Stephenson ‘Research’ may be defined as “the manipulation
of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify
knowledge, whether that Knowledge aids in the construction of theory or in the practice of an
art”. Thus it is an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge of making for its
advancement.
RESEARCH
Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to increase our
understanding of the phenomenon under study. It is the function of the researcher to contribute to
the understanding of the phenomenon and to communicate that understanding to others.
6.1 RESEARCH DESIGN

Research design is known as framework within which the whole activity of research and
methods or procedures is clearly mentioned under which the research is to conduct.
Type of Research

6.3 DATA COLLECTION

Both primary and secondary data are used for the study.
PRIMARY SOURCES:
1. The first step has to do appropriate literature which was collected by consulting various
finance officers at head office.
2. Personal interview had been conducted with Mr. Chakraborthy, who is a Deputy Manager of
the Finance Department, to get adequate information and appropriate suggestions through out the
project.
SECONDRY SOURCES:
1. Balance Sheet of the Verka Milk Plant.

2. Books for financial statement analysis.
3. Other financial Accounts.
22
6.4 TOOLS USED:
FINANCIAL TOOLS: Following financial tools were used to analyze the actual performances
of organization by adopting various techniques.
PRESENTATION TOOLS: The presentation tools have been used to present the facts and
figures in an attractive manner. The details of the same exhibits have been also mentioned
alongside for the easy reference of the readers. Following main presentation tools have been used
for better exhibition of the data: Tables & Graphs
23
7. Analysis of data
After data have been collected, the researcher turns to the task of analyzing them. The analysis of
data requires a number of closely related operations such as establishment of categories, the
application of these categories to raw data through tabulation and drawing statically inferences.
The term analysis refers to the computation of certain measure along with searching for patterns
of relationship that exist among data groups. Thus, “in the process of analysis, relationships or
differences, supporting or conflicting with original or new data.
After analyzing the data, the researcher should have to explain the findings on the basis of some
theory. It is known as interpretation.
That made possible counting of classified data easy. From the master table various summery
tables were prepared. They have been presented along with their interpretation in this manner.
And we have used many arithmetic methods to test the data in the manner of ratios.

7.1 ANALYSIS OF SHORT-TERM FINACIAL POSITION OR TEST
OF LIQUIDITY
The short-term creditors of a company like suppliers of goods of credit providing short-term
loans are primarily interested in knowing the company's ability to meet its current or short-term
obligation as and when these become due.
Two types of ratios can be calculated for measuring short-term financial position or short-term
solvency of a firm.
7.1.1 Liquidity Ratios

7.1.2 Current Assets Movement or Efficiency Ratios.
7.1.1 Liquidity Ratios:
It refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term financial obligations when and as
they fall due.
In fact, analysis of liquidity needs the preparations of cash budgets and cash and fund
flow statements; but liquidity ratios by establishing a relationship between cash and other
current assets to current obligations, provide a quick measure of liquidity.
The main concern of liquidity ratio is to measure the ability of the firm to meet their
short-term maturing obligations. Failure to do this will result in total failure of the
business, as it would be forced into liquidation.
To measure the liquidity of a firm, the following ratios can be calculated:
I. Current Ratio
II. Quick or Acid Test or Liquid Ratio
III. Absolute Liquid Ratio or Cash Position Ratio
IV. Measure Ratio
26
I. Current Ratio:
This ratio explains the relationship between Current Assets and Current Liabilities of a business.
The formula for calculating the ratio is:-
Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities
'Current Assets' includes those Assets which can be converted into cash within a YEAR'S time
like Cash in Hand, Cash at Bank, B/R, Short-term Investments, Debtors, Stock, and Inventories
etc.
'Current Liabilities' include those liabilities which are repayable in a YEAR'S time like Bank
O/D, B/P, Creditors, Provision for Taxation, Proposed Dividends, Outstanding Expense and
Loans payable with in a year etc.
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio is used to assess the firm's ability to meet its short term liabilities on time. According
to accounting principals, a current ratio of 2:1 is supposed to be an IDEAL RATIO. It means that
Current Assets of a business should, at least, be twice of its Current Liabilities. The higher the
ratio, the better it is, because the firm will be able to pay its Current Liabilities more easily. The
reason of assuming 2:1 as the Ideal Ratio is that the Current Assets includes such Assets as
Stock, Debtors etc. from which full amount cannot be realized in case of need, hence even if half
the amount is realized from the Current Assets on time, the firm can still meet its Current
liabilities.
If the Current Ratio is less than 2:1, it indicates lack of liquidity and shortage of working capital.
But a much higher ratio, even though it is beneficial to' the short term creditors, is not
necessarily good for the company. A much higher ratio than 2:1 may indicate the poor
investment policies of the management.
While calculating Current Ratio, we have taken Loans &
Advances as Debtors in the Current Assets.
In Current Liabilities, we included the Provisions to calculate Total Current Liabilities.

ANALYSIS OR INTERPRETATION:
29
In 2004-05: The Current ratio is 2.09 times, it has been increased from the Standard ratio i.e. 2:1.
The reason for increased Current Ratio may be slow moving stocks. The stocks will pile up due
to poor sales. The cash or Bank Balances may be idle because of sufficient Investments
opportunities.
In 2005-06: The Current Ratio is 1.95 times, it has been decreased from 2004-05, and the
Current Assets double the Current Liabilities are considered to be satisfactory.
In 2006-07: The Current Ratio is 1.97 times, it is almost same as it was in last year. It means that
there is no change in working conditions from last year.
In 2007-08: The Current Ratio is 1.76 times, it is decreasing from previous year due to increase
in Current liabilities. It is not necessarily good for the company. The creditors of the company
are less secure than previous year.
In 2008-09: Analysis the current ratio is 1.76 times, It’s equal to the previous year which is a
good symbol for company. But the creation of the company are less secure than last other years.
II QUICK OR ACID TEST OR LIQUID RATIO:
30
Quick Ratio indicates whether the firm is in a position to pay its current liabilities within a month
or immediately. As such the quick ratio is included by dividing liquid assets (Quick Assets) by
current Liabilities:-
Quick Ratio or Acid Test Ratio = Liquid Assets/Current Liabilities
'Liquid Assets' means those assets which will yield cash very shortly. All current assets except
stock and prepaid expenses are included in liquid assets. Stock is excluded from liquid assets
because it has to be sold before it can be converted into cash. Prepaid expenses too are excluded
from the list of liquid assets because they are not expected to be converted into cash. Liquid
assets thus include cash, debtors, bill receivable and short term securities.
SIGNIFICANCE:
An ideal quick ratio is said to be 1:1. if it is more, it is considered to be better. The idea is that for
every rupee of current liabilities, there should be at least one rupee of liquid assets. This ratio is
better test of short-term financial position of the company than the current ratio, as it considers
only those assets which can be easily converted into cash. Stock is not included in liquid assets
as it may take a lot of time before it is converted into cash.
Quick ratio thus is more rigorous test of liquidity than the current ratio and when used together
with current ratio, it gives a better picture of the short term financial position of the firm.
While calculating Quick Assets, we have deducting Inventories assuming as a stock -from
Current Assets so that Quick Assets are obtained.

In 2003-04: The Quick Ratio is 0.77 times, which is less than the ideal ratio i.e. 1:1. It will not
be easy to pay its creditors on time. The company's Quick Assets must be Equal of its Current
liabilities to meet standard ratio. It is not necessarily good for the company.
In 2004-05: The Quick ratio is 1.51 times, it has been increased from the Standard ratio i.e. 1:1.
It is good for the organization. The cash or Bank Balances may be idle because of sufficient
Investments opportunities.
In 2005-06: The Quick Ratio is 1.24 times, it has been decreased from previous year and the
Quick Assets Equal to the Current Liabilities are considered to be satisfactory.
In 2006-07: The Quick Ratio is 1.00 times, it is the ideal Quick Ratio for the organization. It
means that the Quick Assets are able to meet Current liabilities and further no quick assets are
invested unproductive.
In 2007-08: The Quick Ratio is 0.95 times, it is decreasing from previous year due to increase in
Current liabilities more than the increase in Quick Assets. But also it is almost near to the ideal
ratio as it was in previous year.
In 2008-09: The Quick ration is .95 times it is equal to the last year ration. Which is good for the
company that it is maintain its ratio. But also almost equal so the ideal ratio.
Ill ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO OR CASH RATIO:
34
Generally, debtors and bill receivables are 'more liquid than inventories. There may be doubts
regarding their realization into cash immediately or in time. Some authorities are of the opinion
that the absolute liquid ratio should also be calculated together with current assets and find out
the absolute liquid assets.
Absolute Liquid Ratio/ Cash Ratio= Cash + Short Term Securities/ Current Liabilities
SIGNIFICANCE:
Absolute Liquid Assets include cash in Hand and at Bank and marketable Securities or
temporary investments. The acceptance norm for this ratio is 50% or 0.5:1 or 1:2 i.e. Re. 1 worth
Liquid Assets are considered adequate to pay Re. 2 worth Current Liabilities in time as all the
creditors are not expected to demand cash at the same time and then cash may also be realized
from debtors and inventories.

In 2003-04: The Cash Ratio is 0.26 times, it is less than the ideal ratio and it shows that
company needs to improve their short term financial position.
In 2004-05: The Cash ratio is 0.55 times, it has been increased from the standard ratio i.e. 0.5:1,
and it is quite satisfactory because it is higher than the rule of thumb, it shows that company is
improving their short term financial position.
In 2005-06: The Cash Ratio is 0.52 times, it shows that Absolute Liquid Assets are considered
adequate to pay its Current Liabilities in time as all .the creditors are not expected to demand
cash at the same time and then cash may also be realized from debtor's inventories.
In 2006-07: The Cash Ratio is 0.43 times, it is nearer to the ideal Quick Ratio. But also it has
decreased from the last year due to increase in Current Liabilities of the organization. It means
that the organization need to improve little bit on Absolute Liquid Assets.
In 2007-08: The Quick Ratio is 0.56 times, it is increasing from previous year due to increase in
Absolute Liquid Assets more than the increase in Current liabilities. But also it is almost near to
the ideal ratio as it was in 2005-06.
In 2008-09 : The absolute ration is .45 times it is decreasing from previous year which is not a
good sign for company.
III Interval Measure or Defensive Interval Ratio:
38
In order to the comparison of current or liquid assets to current liabilities, the liquidity position
of a firm may also be examined to measure whether the liquied assts are sufficient relative to the
firm's daily cah requirements for operating expenses. Such a measure of liquidity is called
interval measure or defensive-linterval ration.
Interval measure = Liquid Assets/Average Daily cash operating expenses.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This ration is calculated to measure the liquid assets whether these liquid assets are sufficient for
meeting the daily cash operating expenses.
Liquid assets include cash, short-term securities, and receivable. Whereas, average daily
operating expenses includes cost pf goods sold, administrative & office expenses, selling &
distribution expenses.
All these above expenses are divided by number of days in a year (365).

operating daily cash requirements.
In 2004-05: The Interval Measure Ratio is 45 Days, which is equivalent to the target ratio. This
shows that company has achieved their target and it has neither increased nor decreased their
ratio.
In 2005-06: The Interval Measure Ratio is 46 Days, it has been increased quite from the targeted
ratio. This shows that company has more liquid assets to meet their daily requirements.
In 2006-07: The Interval Measure Ratio is 34 Days, it has decreased from the previous year due
to increase Daily Cash requirements for Operating Expenses. It means that the organization
needs to improve little bit on this Ratio.
In 2007-08: The Interval Measure Ratio is 33 Days, it is almost same as it was in previous year
this shows that company is not having liquid assets to meet their daily requirements.
7.1.2 CURRENT ASSETS MOVEMENT OR EFFICIENCY/

ACTIVITY RATIOS:
43
Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and earn profits. The efficiency
with which assets are managed directly affects the volume of sales. The better the management
of assets, the larger is the amount of sales and profits. Activity ratios measure the efficiency or
effectiveness with which a firm manages its resources or assets. These ratios are also called
turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are converted or turned over
into sales.
For example: Inventory turnover ratio indicates the rate at which the funds invested in
inventories are converted into sales. Depending upon the purpose, a number of turn over ratios
can be calculated, as Debtors or Receivable Turnover, Average Collection Period, Stock/
Inventory Turnover, Creditors/Payable Turn over, Average Payment Period, Working Capital
Turnover Ratio.
I. Inventory/Stock Turnover Ratio:
This ratio indicates the relationship between the cost of googs sold during the year and average
stock kept during that year.
Stock Turnover Ratio= COGS/Average Stock
Cost of Goods Sold= Opening Stock + Purchases + Carriage +

wages + other direct charges - Closing Stock OR Net Sales - Gross profit.
Average Stock= (Opening Stock + Closing Stock)/ 2
SIGNIFICANCE:
44
This ratio indicates whether stock has been efficiently used or not. It shows the speed with which
the stock is rotated into sales or the number of times the stock is turned into sales during the year.
The higher the ratio the better it is. Since it indicates that the stock is selling quickly. In a
business, where stock turnover ratio is high, goods can be sold at a lower margin of profit and
even the profitability may be quite high. A low stock turnover ratio indicates that stock does not
sell quickly and remains lying in the godown for a long time. This results in increased storage
cost, blocking of funds and losses on account of goods becoming obsolete. This ratio can be
compared with the previous year, the management can access whether the stock has been more
efficiently used or not.

In 2003-04: The Stock Turnover Ratio is 11.67 times more than its average stock. It means how
efficiently stock is being utilized in the company to convert into COGS or sales. The higher the
ratio the better it is. So it indicates that stock is selling quickly, it is a good indicator for company
that stock is being efficiently used in the company.
In 2004-05: The Stock Turnover Ratio is 13.13 times more than its average stock, it has been
increased from previous year. This shows that company is now utilizing their stock into sales.

due to increase in Average Stock from last year. Now the company has to search ways to
overcome this problem and for full utilization of stocks and to go for more sales.
In 2008-09: The Stock Turnover Ratio is 13.90 times it has been Increaseing from the last year
due to increase in average stock from last year company have to work upto how increase sales.
7.2 ANALYSIS OF LONG-TERM FINANCIAL POSITION

OR
TEST OF SOLVENCY
48
These ratios are calculated to assess the ability of the firm to meet its long term liabilities as and
when they become due. Long term creditors including debentures holders are primarily
interested to know whether the company has ability to pay regularly interest due to them and to
repay the principle amount when it become due. Solvency ratios disclose the firm's ability to
meet the interest cost regularly and long term indebtedness at maturity. Solvency ratios include
the following ratios: 7.2.1 Debt-Equity Ratio
7.2.2 Funded-Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio
7.2.3 Equity Ratio
7.2.4 Solvency Ratio
7.2.5 Proprietor's Funds Ratio
7.2.6 Fixed Assets Radio
7.2.7 Ratio of Current Assets to Proprietor's Funds
7.2.8 Debt service ratio
7.2.9 Capital gearing ratio
7.2.1 Debt-Equity Ratio:
This ratio expresses the relationship between long term debt and shareholders funds. It indicates
the proportion of the funds which are acquired by long term borrowings in comparison to
shareholders funds. This ratio is calculated to ascertain the soundness of the long term financial
policies of the firm. The Debt-Equity can be calculated are as follows:
Debt-Equity= Outsiders Funds/ Shareholders Funds
OR External Equities/ Internal Equities

Outsiders Funds:
These refer to long term liabilities which mature after one year. These include debentures,
mortgage loans, public deposits etc.
Shareholder's funds:
These include equity share capital, preference capital, share premium, general reserve and other
reserves and credit balance of profit and loss account. However accumulated losses and fictitious
49
assets remaining to be written off like preliminary expenses, underwriting commission, share
issue expenses should be deducted.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This ratio is calculated to assess the ability of the firm to meet its long term liabilities. Generally
Debt-Equity Ratio is of 2:1 is considered safe, if this is more than that it shows a rather risky
financial position from the long term point of view as it indicates that more and more funds are
invested in the business; are provided by long term lenders. The lower this ratio the better it is
for long term lenders because they are more secure in that case. Lower than 2:1 Debt-Equity
Ratio provides sufficient protection to long term lenders. A high Debt-Equity Ratio which that
the claims of Creditors are greater than those of owners, may not be considered by the time of
liquidation of the firm
.
Current liabilities:
These are taken as an Outsider's Funds. As Current Liabilities which mature after one year so
Current Liabilities are treated as Outsider's Funds.
In order to calculate Shareholder's Funds, we include Share Capital and Reserves & Surplus. We
deduct Depreciation Reserve Fund as it is included in Reserve and Surplus.

In 2003-04: The Debt-Equity Ratio is 3 times. It shows risky-financial position from the long
term point of view as it indicates that more and more funds invested in the business are provided
by long term lenders. It has also increased from the Standard Ratio which is not good for lenders.
In 2004-05: The Debt-Equity Ratio is 1.1 times. It has been decreased from last year due to
decrease in current liabilities. This is in favor of the lenders as their money is secure and for
organization also as they have less liability to pay off.
In 2005-06: The Debt-Equity Ratio is 1.4 times. It has increased from the last year but it is quite
Satisfactory as the company is maintaining their Debts.

7.2.2 FUNDED DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITALIZATION RATIO:
53
The ratio establishes a link between the long term funds raised from outsiders and total long term
funds available in the business. The debt to total capitalization can be calculated are as follows:
Funded Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio= Funded Debt/Total Capitalization*100
Funded Debt= Debentures + Mortgage Loans + Bonds + other Long term Loans.
Total Capitalization Equity Share Capital + Preference Share capital + Reserve & Surplus
+ Other Undistributed Reserves + Debentures + Mortgage Loans + Bonds + Other Long
Term loans.
SIGNIFICANCE:
As funded Debt to Total Capitalization represents the relationship of long term funds. There is no
'Rule of Thumb' but still the lesser the reliance on outsiders the better it will be. If this ratio is
smaller, better it will be, up to 50% or 55% this ratio may be to tolerable and beyond.

7.2.3 PROPRIETORY RATIO OR EQUITY RATIO
57
This ratio establishes the relationship between shareholder's funds to total assets of the firm. This
ratio is important for determining long term solvency of a firm. The equity ratio may be
calculated are as follows:
Equity Ratio= Shareholder's Funds/Total Assets
Shareholder's Funds= We include Share Capital and Reserves & Surplus. We deduct
Depreciation Reserve Fund as it is included in Reserve and Surplus.
Total Assets= It is calculated by deducting depreciation reserve fund from total of assets side of
the balance sheet.
SIGNIFICANCE:
As this ratio represents the relationship of owner's funds to total assets, higher the ratio better is
the long term solvency position of the company. This ratio indicates the extent to which the
assets can be lost without affecting the interest of creditors of the company.

7.2.5 FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH RATIO OR FIXED ASSETS TO

PROPRITOR'S FUND:
64
The ratio establishes the relationship between fixed assets and shareholder's funds, i.e. share
capital plus reserves and surplus and deducting depreciation reserve surplus from reserves and
surplus.
Fixed Assets to Net Worth Ratio = Fixed Assets/Shareholder's Funds
SIGNIFICANCE:
The ratio of fixed assets to net worth indicates the extent to which shareholder's funds are sunk
into fixed assets. If the ratio is less than 100%, it implies that owner's funds are more than total
fixed assets. When the ratio is more than 100%, it implies that owner's funds are not sufficient to
finance the fixed assets and the firm has to depend upon outsider's to finance the fixed assets.
There is no 'Rule of Thumb' to interpret this ratio but 60% is considered to be satisfactory ratio.

7.2.8 DEBT SERVICE RATIO RATIO:
76
This ratio establishes the relationship between equity share capital including reserve and
surpluses to preference share capital and other fixed interest bearing loans. This ratio is
calculated is used to test the debt-servicing capacity of a firm. The ratio is also known as Interest
Coverage Ratio or Fixed Charges Cover or Times Interest Earned. This ratio is calculated by
dividing the net profits before and taxes by fixed interest charges:
Debt-Service Ratio= Net Profit (B.I.T.)/Fixed Interest Charges

This ratio indicates the number of times interest is covered by the profits available to pay the
interest charges. Generally, higher the ratio the better it is and safer are the long term creditors
because even if earnings of the firm fall, the firm shall be able to meet its commitment of fixed
interest charges. But a too high interest coverage ratio may not be good for the company because
it may imply that firm is not using debt as a source of finance so as to increase the earnings per
share.

the company is able to maintain a steady rate of dividend. High Gearing ratio is not good for a
new company or a company in which future earnings are uncertain.
There is no preference capital so we have not included in it. We have also taken long-term debt
bearing fixed interest as secured loans (long-term Loans).

7.3 ANALYSIS OF PROFITABILITY OR PROFITABILITY RATIOS
84
The main object of all the business concerns is to earn profit. Profit is the measurement of the
efficiency of the business. Equity shareholders of the company are mainly interested in the
profitability of the company. Profitability Ratios measure the various aspects of the profitability
of a company such as
1. What is the rate of the profit on sales?
2. Whether the profits are increasing or decreasing?

And if decreasing, then it helps in finding out the cause of their decrease.
3. Whether an adequate return is being obtained on capital employed?
Profitability Ratios include the following:-
6.3.1 General Profitability Ratios

6.3.2 Overall Profitability Ratios
1. General Profitability Ratios
The following ratios are known as general profitability ratios:

I. Gross Profit Ratio
II. Operating Ratio
III. Operating Profit Ratio
IV. Expenses Ratio
V. Net Profit Ratio
85
I. Gross Profit Ratio:
This ratio shows the relationship between gross profit and sales.
Gross Profit Ratio= Gross Profit/Net Sales*100

Net Sales= Sales- Sales Return
SIGNIFICANCE:
This ratio measures the margin of profits available on sales. The higher the ratio, the better it is.
The ratio should be adequate enough not only to cover the operating expenses but also to provide
for the depreciation, interest on loans, dividends and reserves. The ratio is compared with earlier
ratio and important conclusion is drawn from such comparison for instances if there is a decline
in gross profit ratio in comparison to previous year it may be concluded that:
I. Price of material purchased, freight, wages and direct changes may have gone up but selling
price may not have gone up in proportion to increase in the cost.
II. The selling price may have fallen but the price of the materials, freight, wages and other direct
charges may have not fallen relatively.
III. There is a fall in sales of more profitable variety of goods.

operating expenses, interest on loans, depreciation and dividends otherwise company will not
operate in this environment. It must generate sufficient profits. Higher the ratio better it is.
In 2004-05: The Gross Profit Ratio is 7.6%. It has been decreased from the last year. It is not a
good sign for the company. It will be beneficial for the company to reduce operating expenses,
dividend and interest on loans, otherwise there will be decrease in net profits.

a gci6tr sign for the company because company can do well as it was in previous years.
II. OPERATING RATIO:
89
It establishes the relationship between cost of goods and other operating expenses on the one
hand and the sales on the other hand. It measures the cost of operations by dividing operating
costs with the net sales.
Operating Ratio= Operating Cost/Net sales*100 Operating

Cost= COGS+ Operating expenses
SIGNIFICANCE:
This ratio indicates the percentage of net sales that is consumed by operating cost. Obviously,
higher the operating ratio, the less favorable it is, because it would have margin (operating profit)
to cover interest, income-tax dividend and reserves. There is no rule of thumb for this ratio as it
may differ from to firm depending upon the nature of its business and its capital structure.
