Types Of Ratios: Ratios can be classified into the following broad groups : Profitability Ratios Liquidity Ratios Capital Structure or Leverage Ratios Activity Ratios

Profitability Ratios : Profitability Ratios are based on premise that a firm should earn sufficient profit not only on turnover but also for shareholders. Profitability reflects the final result of any business. If the profit are inadequate then the operating expenses cant be recovered so also dividend cant be paid to the owners. Generally the ratios under this category are broadly classified under two heads. A. Profit ratios based on Turn Over B. Profit ratios based on Investments A. Profit ratios based on Turn Over : The various ratios under this category are as follows. a. Gross Profit Ratios : It is defined as : Gross profit ratios = ( Gross profit/Net Sales) * 100

Where, Gross profit = Net Sales Cost of Goods sold b. Net Profit Ratios : It is defined as : Net profit Ratio = (Net Profit After Tax/Net Sales) * 100 c. Operating Ratios : It is defined as : Operating Ratio = [(Cost of Goods sold +Operating Expenses)/Net Sales] * 100

Where, Operating Expenses = Office & Administration + Selling & Distribution Expenses

d. Expense Ratios : There are following ratios under this. Cost Of Good Sold Ratios = (Cost of goods sold/ Net sales) * 100 Operating Expenses Ratios = (Operating Expenses/ Net sales) * 100 Administrative Expenses Ratios = (Administrative Expenses/ Net sales) * 100 Selling Expenses Ratios = (Selling Expenses/ Net sales) * 100 Financial Expenses Ratios = (Financial Expenses/ Net sales) * 100 e.

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liability

Aditya Birla Money 2012 = 155.6/133.71 = 1.16 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = 107.3/117.26 = 0.91 Aditya Birla Money 2010 =114.88/163.84 =0.70 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 42.01/88.7 = 0.47 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 107.26/123.48 = 0.86

14

2. Quick Ratio = Quick Assets/ Current Liability Where Quick Asset = CA (Inventory +Prepaid Expenses) Aditya Birla Money 2012 = (155.6-0)/133.71 = 1.163 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = (107.3-0)/117.26 = 0.91 Aditya Birla Money 2010 = (114.88-0)/163.84 = 0.70 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = (42.01-0.1)/88.7 = 0.47 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = (107.26-0.33)/123.48 = 0.86

LEVERAGE RATIO : Important ratios under this are Debt Equity Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio.

1. Debt Equity Ratio = Total Debt/Total Equity

Where, Total Equity = Preference Share Capital + Equity Share Capital + & Surplus Accumulated Loss Total Equity Aditya Birla Money 2012 = 8+5.54+37.64-0 = 51.18 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = 8+5.54+55.47-0 = 69.01 Aditya Birla Money 2010 = 0+5.54 + 51.91 = 57.45 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 0+ 5.54 +39.23 = 44.77 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 0+5.54 +38.32 = 43.86 Reserve

Now Debt Equity Ratio is as follows : Aditya Birla Money 2012 = 50.37/51.18 = 0.98 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = 24.93/69.01 = 0.36 Aditya Birla Money 2010 = 40/57.45 = 0.69 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 5/44.77 = 0.11 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 40.36/43.86 = 0.92

15

 ACTIVITY RATIO: The important ratio under this section are Inventory Turn Over Ratio, Working Capital Turn Over Ratio, Fixed Assets Turn Over Ratio, Debtors Turn Over Ratio, & Creditors Turn Over Ratio. 1. Inventory Turn Over Ratio = Cost Of Goods Sold / Average Inventory Where, Cost Of Good Sold = Total Net Sales Gross Profit Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) /2

Gross Profit = Total Income Total Expense So, Cost of Good Sold = Total Net Sales (Total Income Total Expense) Aditya Birla Money 2012 = 88.28-(97.24-102.62) = 93.66 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = 114.28-(115.87-114.42) = 112.83 Aditya Birla Money 2010 = 112.37-(115.9-86.53) = 83 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 83.1-(86.28-72.03) = 68.85 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 122.77-(126.4-77.13) = 73.5 Now Inventory Turn Over Ratio: Aditya Birla Money 2012 = Not Possible (Due To Zero Inventory) Aditya Birla Money 2011 = Not Possible (Due To Zero Inventory) Aditya Birla Money 2010 = Not Possible (Due To Zero Inventory) Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 68.85/{(0.1+0.33)/2} = 320.23 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 73.5/{(0.33+0)/2} = 445.45

2. Working Capital Turn Over Ratio = Cost Of Goods Sold / Net Working Capital Where, Net Working Capital = Current Assets Current Liabilities

Aditya Birla Money 2012 = 93.66/(155.6-133.71) = 4.27 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = 112.83/(107.3-117.26) = -11.32 (Loss)

16

Aditya Birla Money 2010 = 83/(114.88-163.84) = -1.69 (Loss) Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 68.85/(42.01-88.7) = -1.47 (Loss) Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 73.5/(107.26-123.48) = -4.53 (Loss)

3. Fixed Assets Turn Over Ratio = Net sales/ Fixed Asset

Aditya Birla Money 2012 = 88.28/0.01 = 8828 Aditya Birla Money 2011 = 114.28/10.01 = 11.41 Aditya Birla Money 2010 = 112.37/0.01=1123.7 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 83.1/0.03 = 2770 Aditya Birla Money 2008 =122.77/0.05 = 2455.4

4. Return on Assets = Profit After Tax / Average Total Assets

Aditya Birla Money 2012 = -17.83/{(0.01+10.01)/2} = -3.55 (Loss) Aditya Birla Money 2011 = -8.44/ {(10.01+0.01)/2} = -1.68 (Loss) Aditya Birla Money 2010 = 12.68/ {(0.01+0.03)/2} = 634 Aditya Birla Money 2009 = 1.21/ {(0.03+0.05)/2} = 30.25 Aditya Birla Money 2008 = 22.02/ {(0.05+0)/2} = 880.8

INTERPRETATION OF DIFFERENT RATIOS

Aditya Birla Money

1.4 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 Mar08 Mar09 Mar10 Mar11 Mar12 Aditya Birla Money

Interpretation: To a creditor, the higher the ratio the better. To the firm, a high current ratio indicates liquidity, but it also may indicate and inefficient use of cash and other short-term assets. Absent some extraordinary circumstances, we would expect to see a current ratio of at least 1, because a ratio of less than 1 would imply a negative working capital number, which over time could mean insolvency. Generally, a number closer to the 2 range would be most desirable for most industry. If we talk about current ratio about of Aditya Birla Money, it is continuously increasing from 2009 to 2012. Its means that its liquidity is increasing continuously. To compete this, it has to increase & maintain its liquidity constantly.

Aditya Birla Money

1.4 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 Mar08 Mar09 Mar10 Mar11 Mar12 Aditya Birla Money

Interpretation : The quick ratio or the acid-test ratio - is a liquidity indicator that further refines the current ratio by measuring the amount of the most liquid current assets there are to cover current liabilities. The quick ratio is more conservative than the current ratio because it excludes inventory and other current assets, which are more difficult to turn into cash. In the event that short-term obligations need to be paid off immediately, there are situations in which the current ratio would overestimate a company's short-term financial strength. Therefore, a higher ratio means a more liquid current position. If we talk about quick ratio of Aditya Birla Money, this ratio is decreasing from 2008 to 2009 and thereafter continuously increasing (0.47 to 1.16) from 2009 to 2012. It means that in the last four years company has maintained more liquid current positions. which is good for the company. 3.

1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 Mar08 Mar09 Mar10 Mar11 Mar12 Aditya Birla Money

Interpretation : The debt-equity ratio is another leverage ratio that compares a company's total liabilities to its total shareholders' equity. This is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligors have committed to the company versus what the shareholders have committed. To a large degree, the debt-equity ratio provides another vantage point on a company's leverage position, in this case, comparing total liabilities to shareholders' equity. Generally, companies with higher ratios are thought to be more risky because they have more liabilities and less equity. If we talk about debt equity ratio of Aditya Birla Money, this ratio is lower than the industry and Indiabulls. It indicates that the company is less risky company than the Indiabulls because the company has less liabilities and more equity.
