INTRODUCTION
ABOUT RATIO ANALYSIS
The ratio analysis is the most powerful tool of financial analysis. Several ratios calculated
from the accounting data can be grouped into various classes according to financial activity or
function to be evaluated.
• DEFINITION:
“The indicate quotient of two mathematical expressions “and as “The relationship
between two or more things. “It evaluates the financial position and performance of the firm.
As started in the beginning many diverse groups of people are interested in analyzing
financial information to indicate the operating and financial efficiency and growth of firm. These
people use ratios to determine those financial characteristics of firm in which they interested with
the help of ratios one can determine.

• The ability of the firm to meet its current obligations.

Page 8
• The extent to which the firm has used its long-term solvency by borrowing funds.

• The efficiency with which the firm is utilizing its assets in generating the sales revenue.

• The overall operating efficiency and performance of firm.

The information contained in these statements is used by management, creditors,

investors and others to form judgment about the operating performance and financial
position of firm. Uses of financial statement can get further insight about financial strength
and weakness of the firm if they properly analyze information reported in these statements.
Management should be particularly interested in knowing financial strength of the firm to
make their best use and to be able to spot out financial weaknesses of the firm to take
suitable corrective actions. The further plans firm should be laid down in new of the firm’s
financial strength and weaknesses. Thus financial analysis is the starting point for making
plans before using any sophisticated forecasting and planning procedures. Understanding the
past is a prerequisite for anticipating the future.

Significance of financial analysis

Financial analysis serves the following purpose:

To know the operational efficiency of the business:

The financial analysis enables the management to find out the overall efficiency of the firm. This will
enable the management to locate the weak Spots of the business and take necessary remedial action.

Helpful in measuring the solvency of the firm:

The financial analysis helps the decision makers in taking appropriate decisions for
strengthening the short-term as well as long-term solvency of the firm.

Comparison of past and present results:

Financial statements of the previous years can be compared and the trend regarding various
expenses, purchases, sales, gross profit and net profit can be ascertained.

Helps in measuring the profitability:

Financial statements show the gross profit, & net profit.

Inter‐firm comparison:

The financial analysis makes it easy to make inter-firm comparison. This comparison can also
be made for various time periods.

Bankruptcy and Failure:

Financial statement analysis is significant tool in predicting the bankruptcy and the failure of the business

enterprise. Financial statement analysis accomplishes this through the evaluation of the solvency position.

Helps in forecasting:

The financial analysis will help in assessing future development by making forecasts and
preparing budgets.

Page 14
METHODS OF ANALYSIS:

A financial analyst can adopt the following tools for analysis of the financial statements. These are

also termed as methods of financial analysis.

A. Comparative statement analysis

B. Common-size statement analysis

C. Trend analysis

D. Funds flow analysis

E. Ratio analysis

NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio Analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as "the indicated
quotient of mathematical expression" and as "the relationship between two or more things". A
ratio is used as benchmark for evaluating the financial position and performance of the firm. The
relationship between two accounting figures, expressed mathematically, is known as a financial
ratio. Ratio helps to summarizes large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative
judgment about the firm's financial performance.

The persons interested in the analysis of financial statements can be grouped under three
head owners (or) investors who are desired primarily a basis for estimating earning capacity.
Creditors who are concerned primarily with Liquidity and ability to pay interest and redeem loan
within a specified period. Management is interested in evolving analytical tools that will measure
costs, efficiency, liquidity and profitability with a view to make intelligent decisions.

STANDARDS OF COMPARISON
The ratio analysis involves comparison for an useful interpretation of the financial
statements. A single ratio in itself does not indicate favorable or unfavorable condition. It should
be compared with some standard. Standards of comparison are:
1. Past Ratios
2. Competitor's Ratios
3. Industry Ratios
4. Projected Ratios

Page 15
Past Ratios: Ratios calculated from the past financial statements of the same firm.
Competitor's Ratios: Ratios of some selected firms, especially the most progressive and
successful competitor at the same point in time.
Industry Ratios: Ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.
Projected Ratios: Ratios developed using the projected financial statements of the same firm.

TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

The easiest way to evaluate the performance of a firm is to compare its present ratios with
past ratios. When financial ratios over a period of time are compared, it is known as the time
series analysis or trend analysis. It gives an indication of the direction of change and reflects
whether the firm's financial performance has improved, deteriorated or remind constant over time.
CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS
Another way to comparison is to compare ratios of one firm with some selected firms in
the industry at the same point in time. This kind of comparison is known as the cross-sectional
analysis. It is more useful to compare the firm's ratios with ratios of a few carefully selected
competitors, who have similar operations.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
To determine the financial conditions and performance of a firm. Its ratio may be
compared with average ratios of the industry of which the firm is a member. This type of analysis
is known as industry analysis and also it helps to ascertain the financial standing and capability of
the firm & other firms in the industry. Industry ratios are important standards in view of the fact
that each industry has its characteristics which influence the financial and operating relationships.

TYPES OF RATIOS
Management is interested in evaluating every aspect of firm's performance. In view of the requirement
of the various users of ratios, we may classify them into following four important categories:
1. Liquidity Ratio
2. Leverage Ratio
3. Activity Ratio
4. Profitability Ratio

Page 16
3.1 Liquidity Ratio
It is essential for a firm to be able to meet its obligations as they become due. Liquidity Ratios
help in establishing a relationship between cast and other current assets to current obligations to provide a
quick measure of liquidity. A firm should ensure that it does not suffer from lack of liquidity and also that
it does not have excess liquidity. A very high degree of liquidity is also bad, idle assets earn nothing. The
firm's funds will be unnecessarily tied up in current assets. Therefore it is necessary to strike a proper
balance between high liquidity. Liquidity ratios can be divided into three types:
3.1.1 Current Ratio
3.1.2 Quick Ratio
3.1.3 Cash Ratio
3.1.1 Current Ratio
Current ratio is an acceptable measure of firm’s short-term solvency Current assets includes
cash within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors and inventors. Prepaid expenses are also
included in current assets as they represent the payments that will not made by the firm in future. All
obligations maturing within a year are included in current liabilities. These include creditors, bills
payable, accrued expenses, short-term bank loan, income-tax liability in the current year.
The current ratio is a measure of the firm's short term solvency. It indicated the
availability of current assets in rupees for every one rupee of current liability. A current ratio of
2:1 is considered satisfactory. The higher the current ratio, the greater the margin of safety; the
larger the amount of current assets in relation to current liabilities, the more the firm's ability to
meet its obligations. It is a cured -and -quick measure of the firm's liquidity.
Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets and current liabilities.

Current Assets
Current Ratio = ________________
Current Liabilities

3.1.2 Quick Ratio

Quick Ratio establishes a relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. An
asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately or reasonably soon without a loss of value. Cash
is the most liquid asset, other assets that are considered to be relatively liquid asset and included in quick
assets are debtors and bills receivables and marketable securities (temporary quoted investments).

Page 17
 Inventories are converted to be liquid. Inventories normally require some time for realizing
into cash; their value also has a tendency to fluctuate. The quick ratio is found out by dividing
quick assets by current liabilities.

Current assets - Inventories

Quick Ratio = _________________________
Current Liabilities

Generally, a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial

condition. Quick ratio is a more penetrating test of liquidity than the current ratio, yet it should be
used cautiously. A company with a high value of quick ratio can suffer from the shortage of funds
if it has slow- paying, doubtful and long duration outstanding debtors. A low quick ratio may
really be prospering and paying its current obligation in time.

3.1.3 Cash Ratio

Cash is the most liquid asset; a financial analyst may examine Cash Ratio and its equivalent
current liabilities. Cash and Bank balances and short-term marketable securities are the most liquid
assets of a firm, financial analyst stays look at cash ratio. Trade investment is marketable securities of
equivalent of cash. If the company carries a small amount of cash, there is nothing to be worried about
the lack of cash if the company has reserves borrowing power. Cash Ratio is perhaps the most
stringent Measure of liquidity. Indeed, one can argue that it is overly stringent. Lack of immediate
cash may not matter if the firm stretch its payments or borrow money at short notice.

Cash and bank balances + Current Investment

Cash Ratio= --------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Liabilities

3.2 LEVERAGE RATIOS

Financial leverage refers to the use of debt finance while debt capital is a cheaper source of
finance: it is also a riskier source of finance. It helps in assessing the risk arising from the use of
debt capital. Two types of ratios are commonly used to analyze financial leverage.

1. Structural Ratios &

2. Coverage ratios.

Page 18
 Structural Ratios are based on the proportions of debt and equity in the financial structure of firm.
Coverage Ratios shows the relationship between Debt Servicing, Commitments and the sources
for meeting these burdens.
The short-term creditors like bankers and suppliers of raw material are more concerned
with the firm's current debt-paying ability. On the other hand, long-term creditors like debenture
holders, financial institutions are more concerned with the firm's long-term financial strength. To
judge the long-term financial position of firm, financial leverage ratios are calculated. These ratios
indicated mix of funds provided by owners and lenders.
There should be an appropriate mix of Debt and owner's equity in financing the firm's
assets. The process of magnifying the shareholder's return through the use of Debt is called
"financial leverage" or "financial gearing" or "trading on equity". Leverage Ratios are calculated
to measure the financial risk and the firm's ability of using Debt to share holder's advantage.

Leverage Ratios can be divided into five types.

3.2.1 Debt equity ratio.

3.2.2 Debt ratio.

3.2.3 Interest coverage ratio

3.2.4 Proprietary ratio.

3.2.5 Capital gearing ratio

3.2.1 Debt equity ratio

It indicates the relationship describing the lenders contribution for each rupee of the
owner's contribution is called debt-equity ratio. Debt equity ratio is directly computed by dividing
total debt by net worth. Lower the debt-equity ratio, higher the degree of protection. A debt-equity
ratio of 2:1 is considered ideal. The debt consists of all short term as well as long-term and equity
consists of net worth plus preference capital plus Deferred Tax Liability.

Long term Debts

Debt Equity Ratio = ----------------------
Share holder funds (Equities)

Page 19
3.2.2 Debt ratio
Several debt ratios may used to analyze the long-term solvency of a firm. The firm may be
interested in knowing the proportion of the interest-bearing debt in the capital structure. It may,
therefore, compute debt ratio by dividing total total debt by capital employed on net assets. Total
debt will include short and long-term borrowings from financial institutions, debentures/bonds,
deferred payment arrangements for buying equipments, bank borrowings, public deposits and any
other interest-bearing loan. Capital employed will include total debt net worth.

Debt
Debt Ratio = ----------
Equity

3.2.3 Interest Coverage Ratio

The interest coverage ratio or the time interest earned is used to test the firms’ debt
servicing capacity. The interest coverage ratio is computed by dividing earnings before interest
and taxes by interest charges. The interest coverage ratio shows the number of times the interest
charges are covered by funds that are ordinarily available for their payment. We can calculate the
interest average ratio as earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes divided by interest.

EBIT
Interest Coverage ratio = ---------------
Interest

3.2.4 Proprietary ratio

The total shareholder's fund is compared with the total tangible assets of the company. This
ratio indicates the general financial strength of concern. It is a test of the soundness of financial
structure of the concern. The ratio is of great significance to creditors since it enables them to find
out the proportion of share holders funds in the total investment of business.

Net worth
Proprietary Ratio = -------------------------------------- x 100
Total tangible assets

Page 20
3.2.5 Capital gearing ratio:
This ratio makes an analysis of capital structure of firm. The ratio shows relationship between

equity share capital and the fixed cost bearing i.e., preference share capital and debentures.

Equity capital
Capital gearing ratio = -----------------------------------------------
P.S capital +Debentures +Loans

3.3 ACTIVITY RATIOS

Turnover ratios also referred to as activity ratios or asset management ratios, measure how
efficiently the assets are employed by a firm. These ratios are based on the relationship between
the level of activity, represented by sales or cost of goods sold and levels of various assets. The
improvement turnover ratios are inventory turnover, average collection period, receivable turn
over, fixed assets turnover and total assets turnover.

Activity ratios are employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm manages and utilize its
assets. These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets
are being converted or turned over into sales. Activity ratios thus involve a relationship between sales
and assets. A proper balance between sales and assets generally reflects that asset utilization.

Activity ratios are divided into four types:

3.3.1 Total capital turnover ratio
3.3.2 Working capital turnover ratio
3.3.3 Fixed assets turnover ratio
3.3.4 Stock turnover ratio

3.3.1 Total capital turnover ratio: This ratio expresses relationship between the amounts
invested in this assets and the resulting in terms of sales. This is calculated by dividing the net
sales by total sales. The higher ratio means better utilization and vice-versa.
Some analysts like to compute the total assets turnover in addition to or instead of net
assets turnover. This ratio shows the firm's ability in generating sales from all financial resources
committed to total assets.
Sales
Total assets turnover = ----------------------------
Capital employed.

Page 21
3.3.2 Working capital turnover ratio: This ratio measures the relationship between working
capital and sales. The ratio shows the number of times the working capital results in sales.
Working capital as usual is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. The following
formula is used to measure the ratio:
Sales
Working capital turnover ratio = -------------------------------
Working capital

3.3.3 Fixed asset turnover ratio: The firm may which to know its efficiency of utilizing fixed
assets and current assets separately. The use of depreciated value of fixed assets in computing the
fixed assets turnover may render comparison of firm's performance over period or with other firms.
The ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets employed a high
ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization and a low ratio reflects inefficient
use of assets. However, in interpreting this ratio, one caution should be borne in mind, when the
fixed assets of firm are old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets turnover ratio tends to
be high because the denominator of ratio is very low
Net sales
Fixed asset turnover ratio = -------------------------
Fixed assets

3.3.4 Stock turnover ratio

Stock turnover ratio indicates the efficiency of firm in producing and selling its product. It
is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average stock. It measures how fast the
inventory is moving through the firm and generating sales.
The stock turnover ratio reflects the efficiency of inventory management. The higher the
ratio, the more efficient the management of inventories and vice versa .However, this may not
always be true. A high inventory turnover may be caused by a low level of inventory which may
result if frequent stock outs and loss of sales and customer goodwill.

3.4 PROFITABILITY RATIOS

A company should earn profits to survive and grow over a long period of time. Profits are
essential but it would be wrong to assume that every action initiated by management of a company
should be aimed at maximizing profits. Profit is the difference between revenues and expenses
over a period of time.
Profit is the ultimate 'output' of a company and it will have no future if it fails to make
sufficient profits. The financial manager should continuously evaluate the efficiency of company
in terms of profits. The profitability ratios are calculated to measure the operating efficiency of
company. Creditors want to get interest and repayment of principal regularly. Owners want to get
a required rate of return on their investment.
Generally, two major types of profitability ratios are calculated:
• Profitability in relation to sales
• Profitability in relation to investment

Profitability Ratios can be divided into six types:

3.4.1 Gross profit ratio

3.4.2 Operating profit ratio
3.4.3 Net profit ratio
3.4.4 Return on investment
3.4.5 Earns per share
3.4.6 Operating expenses ratio
3.4.1 Gross profit ratio

First profitability ratio in relation to sales is the gross profit margin the gross profit margin
reflects.
The efficiency with which management produces each unit of product. This ratio indicates
the average spread between the cost of goods sold and the sales revenue. A high gross profit
margin is a sign of good management. A gross margin ratio may increase due to any of following
factors: higher sales prices cost of goods sold remaining constant, lower cost of goods sold, sales
prices remaining constant. A low gross profit margin may reflect higher cost of goods sold due to
firm's inability to purchase raw materials at favorable terms, inefficient utilization of plant and
machinery resulting in higher cost of production or due to fall in prices in market.

Page 23
 This ratio shows the margin left after meeting manufacturing costs. It measures the efficiency of production as
well as pricing. To analyze the factors underlying the variation in gross profit margin, the proportion of various
elements of cost (Labor, materials and manufacturing overheads) to sale may studied in detail.

Gross profit
Gross profit ratio = ------------------------x 100
Net sales

3.4.2 Operating profit ratio

This ratio expresses the relationship between operating profit and sales. It is worked out
by dividing operating profit by net sales. With the help of this ratio, one can judge the managerial
efficiency which may not be reflected in the net profit ratio.

Operating profit
Operating profit ratio = ---------------------------x 100
Net sales

3.4.3 Net profit ratio

Net profit is obtained when operating expenses, interest and taxes are subtracted from the
gross profit. Net profit margin ratio established a relationship between net profit and sales and
indicates management's efficiency in manufacturing, administering and selling products.
This ratio also indicates the firm's capacity to withstand adverse economic conditions. A
firm with a high net margin ratio would be in an advantageous position to survive in the face of
falling selling prices, rising costs of production or declining demand for product
This ratio shows the earning left for share holders as a percentage of net sales. It measures
overall efficiency of production, administration, selling, financing. Pricing and tax management. Jointly
considered, the gross and net profit margin ratios provide a valuable understanding of the cost and profit
structure of the firm and enable the analyst to identify the sources of business efficiency / inefficiency.

Net Profit
Net Profit Ratio = --------------------------- x 100
Net sales

Page 24
3.4.4 Return on investment: This is one of the most important profitability ratios. It indicates the
relation of net profit with capital employed in business. Net profit for calculating return of investment
will mean the net profit before interest, tax, and dividend. Capital employed means long term funds.

E.B.I.T
Return on investment = ---------------------------------------- x 100
Capital employed

3.4.5 Earnings per share

This ratio is computed by earning available to equity share holders by the total amount of
equity share outstanding. It reveals the amount of period earnings after taxes which occur to each
equity share. This ratio is an important index because it indicates whether the wealth of each share
holder on a per share basis as changed over the period.

Net profit
Earnings per share = ------------------------------------
x 100
Number of equity shares

3.4.6 Operating expenses ratio

It explains the changes in the profit margin ratio. A higher operating expenses ratio is
unfavorable since it will leave a small amount of operating income to meet interest, dividends.
Operating expenses ratio is a yardstick of operating efficiency, but it should be used cautiously. It
is affected by a number of factors such as external uncontrollable factors, internal factors. This
ratio is computed by dividing operating expenses by sales. Operating expenses equal cost of
goods sold plus selling expenses and general administrative expenses by sales.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses ratio = ----------------------------- x 100
Sales

information.
Data Collection Tools
To analyze the data acquire from the secondary sources “Ratio Analysis”The scope of the
study is defined below in terms of concepts adopted and period under focus.
First the study of Ratio Analysis is confined only to the Amarraja Batteries Limited.
Secondly the study is based on the annual reports of the company for a period of 4 years
from 2006-07 to 2009-10 the reason for restricting the study to this period is due time constraint.

LIMITATIONS

Page 26
• The study was limited to only four years Financial Data.

• The study is purely based on secondary data which were taken primarily from
Published annual reports of Amararaja batteries Ltd.,

• There is no set industry standard for comparison and hence the inference is made
on general standards.

• The ratio is calculated from past financial statements and these are not indicators of
future.

• The study is based on only on the past records.

• Non availability of required data to analysis the performance.

• The short span of the time provided also one of limitations.

 DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATIONS

4.1 LIQUIDITY RATIO’S

4.1.1 CURRENT RATIO

The ratio between all current assets and all current liabilities; another way of expressing
liquidity. It is a measure of the firm’s short-term solvency. It indicates the availability of current
assets in rupees for every one rupee of current liability. A ratio of greater than one means that the
firm has more current assets than current claims against them.

The ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed a
high ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization and a low ratio reflects
inefficient use of assets. However, in interpreting this ratio, one caution should be borne in mind.
When the fixed assets of the firm are old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets turnover
ratio tends to be high because the denominator of the ratio is very low.
