4.2 Liquidity Ratio:
Liquidity ratios are used to determine a company’s ability to meet its short-term debt
obligations. Investors often take a close look at liquidity ratios when performing fundamental
analysis on a firm. A class of financial metrics that is used to determine the company's ability to
pay off its short-terms debts obligations. The liquidity ratio is the result of dividing the total cash
by short-term borrowings.
Current Ratio:
The current ratio is the first of financial ratios that we will examine. In this case, the current ratio
measures a company’s current assets against its current liabilities. If current liabilities are rising
more rapidly than current asset, the current ratio will fall which could spell trouble.
Fu-WangCeramics:
For 1taka worth of current liabilities of Fu-Wang ceramics has 2018 to 2019 accordingly 1.99,
1.85 taka worth of current assets. This current ratio has decreased from 2018 to 2019. The lower
ratio valueindicates the liquidity position weakest and the higher ratio indicates the liquidity is
strong.So,here Fu –Wang ceramics reached low liquidity position in 2019.
RAK Ceramics:
For 1 taka worth of current liabilities of RAK ceramics has increased from 2018 to 2019
accordingly 1.66, 1.71, taka worth of current assets. The ratio value from 2018 to 2019
variability is High. So, here RAK ceramics has reached high liquidity position in 2019

Comparative Analysis:
The graph and the table show Fu-Wang and RAK ceramics current ratio value is almost same
over the year that’s why variability is low but the ratio value always higher than 1. The RAK
ceramics is not fully covered by cash. On the other hand, though Fu-Wang ceramics ratio values
variability is lowbut the ratio value always more than 1 that’s why is fully covered by cash.
The evaluation of the liquidity ratios of the both companies, we can say RAK ceramics is doing
better in comparison with Fu-Wang Ceramics. In simple words we can say RAK is in a better
position from Fu-Wang to pay of their liabilities with cash or equivalent assets.
Quick Ratio:
The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, is a liquidity ratio that is more refined and
more stringent than the current ratio. Instead of using current assets in the numerator, the quick
ratio uses a figure that focuses on the most liquid assets. The main asset left out is inventory,
which can be hard to liquidate at market value in a timely fashion. The quick ratio is more
conservative than the current ratio and focuses on cash, short-term investments and accounts
receivable. Inventory typically is the least liquid of a firm’s current asset, so they are the asset on
which losses are most likely to occur in the event of a quick liquidation. Therefore, a measure of
the firm’s ability to pay off short term obligations without relying on the sale of inventories is
important.

Fu-Wang Ceramics:
The ratio value from 2018 to 2019 is accordingly 0.55, and 0.44. The ratio value indicates there
is a low variability. In 2019 the ratio value is high that is 0.44 and in 2019 the ratio value is low
that is 0.44.

a low variability. In 2018 the ratio value 0.59 is highest and in 2019 the ratio value 1.05 is
lowest.

This ratio gauges the liquidity of the firm's inventory. It also helps the business owner determine
how they can increase their sales through inventory control. Generally, a high inventory ratio
means that the company is efficiently managing and selling its inventory. The faster the
inventory sells the fewer funds the company has tied up.
Companies have to be careful if they have a high inventory turnover as they are subject to stock
outs. If a company has a low inventory turnover ratio, then there is a risk they are holding
obsolete inventory which is difficult to sell.

Fu-Wang Ceramics:
The ratio value from 2018 to 2019 is accordingly 0.42 Times and 0.49 Times. The ratio value
indicates there is a high variability. In 2018 the ratio value is low that is 0.42 and in 2019 the
ratio value is high that is 0.49.
31 | P a g e
RAK Ceramics:
The ratio value from 2018 to 2019is accordingly 1.64 and 1.44. The ratio value indicates there is
a low variability. In 2018 the ratio value 1.64 is highest than in 2019 the ratio value 1.44 is
lowest.
The graph shows from 2018 to 2019 variability is low over the year.
Comparative Analysis:
The graph and the table show that as per the inventory turnover ratio RAK ceramics is higher
than Fu-Wung. But Fu-Wangceramics inventory turnover ratio values variability is higher but
RAK ceramics inventory turnover ratio value is almost low over the year that’s why variability is
low.
The denominator in the equation should be net of accumulated depreciation.If the fixed asset
turnover ratio is low as compared to the industry or past years of data for the firm, it means that
sales are low or the investment in plant and equipment is too high. This may not be a serious
problem if the company has just made an investment in fixed asset to modernize, for example.If
the fixed asset turnover ratio is too high, then the business firm is likely operating over capacity
and needs to either increase its asset base to support its sales or reduce its capacity.
If the fixed asset turnover ratio is too high, then the business firm is likely operating over
capacity and needs to either increase its asset base (plant, property, equipment) to support its
sales or reduce its capacity.

Total Asset Turnover Ratio:
The total asset turnover ratio measures the ability of a company to use its assets to efficiently
generate sales. This ratio considers all assets, current and fixed. Those assets include fixed assets,
like plant and equipment, as well as inventory, accounts receivable, as well as any other current
assets. The lower the total asset turnover ratio (the lower the # Times), as compared to historical
data for the firm and industry data, the more sluggish the firm's sales. This may indicate a
problem with one or more of the asset categories composing total assets - inventory, receivables,
or fixed assets. The small business owner should analyze the various asset classes to determine in
which current or fixed asset the problem lies. The problem could be in more than one area of
current or fixed assets

A measure of the extent to which a firm uses borrowed funds to finance its operations. Owners
and creditors are interested in debt management ratios because the ratios indicate the riskiness of
the firm's position. Debt management ratios are:
35 | P a g e
The higher the ratio, the greater risk will be associated with the firm's operation. In addition, high
debt to assets ratio may indicate low borrowing capacity of a firm, which in turn will lower the
firm's financial flexibility. Like all financial ratios, a company's debt ratio should be compared
with their industry average or other competing firms.
If the ratio is less than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through equity. If the ratio
is greater than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through debt. Companies with high
debt/asset ratios are said to be "highly leveraged," not highly liquid as stated above. A company
with a high debt ratio (highly leveraged) could be in danger if creditors start to demand
repayment of debt.

While making investment in stocks, there are various financial metrics which are used to
properly evaluate the prices of the shares or the market value of the shares so that the investment
does not become a losing proposition. The decision of buying and selling shares is very
important. And if not done at the right price then the money invested can turn into
losses. So, market value ratios calculation and interpretation is very crucial; for share market
investments as well as in other investments; and for the company management as well.
And thus, valued correctly in the market or they are trading at a higher price or lower. The
overvaluation or undervaluation of share helps investors decide whether they should go long or
short on the shares they are going to invest in.

7.1 Cash Conversion Cycle:
To further analyze the financial strengths of a company, we must study the working capital of the
company. To study working capital, we should know the length of time between actual cash
expenditure to pay for the productive resources and its own cash receipts from the sales of the
product. It is called the Cash Conversion Cycle. The process of investment and return sales will
continue in a cycle.

Forecasting:
Sales Forecasting is the most important tool of financial forecasting, and it is an essential part of
financial planning. We can make sales forecast of 2020 for both the companies from the sales
growth of the company in 2019. If this forecast is incorrect and the market expands significantly
both companies will not be able to satisfy the market demand and consumers will buy other
competitor’s products. Again, if the projection is over optimistic then both the companies will
end up with excessive inventory and equipment, which will result in high cost of depreciation
and storage.
= 3.93 or 4 %
= 2.09 or 2 %
From the above calculations we can make a sales forecast that Fu-Wang and RAK Ceramics will
gain 4% and 2% sales growth respectively in 2020. Assuming, sales and other related operating
cost of Fu-Wang Ceramics will increase by 4% and the company is currently operating at full
Capacity. Therefore Fu-Wang should expand their plants and equipment by 4%. For RAK
ceramics the forecast should be 2% in sales and related operations.

CHAPTER: 8
8.1 Conclusions:
The desirable qualities of the tableware – beauty of design, excellence in making and affordable
price – are rooted with the ceramics industries mission and commitment. The tableware is made
to the most exact standards to please the most apprehensive customers. The quality control
supervisors at every stage of production ensure that all items meet the most critical standards in
the world. Giving dignity and distinction to the users, the ceramics industries tableware becomes
centerpiece in any stylish home. It blends together the outstanding technology and timeless
craftsmanship to catapult Bangladesh into the new millennium.
In our country tableware ceramics industry is developing day by day. Already many companies
are in the market and are serving consumers delivering quality products. To compete smartly in
the domestic and international markets companies need to set appropriate financial and
marketing strategies. For setting correct strategies companies need to find out appropriate
financial position. For setting right positioning strategies companies need to know the needs and
requirements of the customers. International players under ceramic industry of Bangladesh are
doing above described activities more or less correctly. If individual organizations can set
appropriate marketing and financial strategies that will be beneficial for the organizations as well
as for the industry. Lots of changes have taken place in tableware ceramics industry in last few
years. Once upon a time consumer were not concerned about shape, design and other factors. But
now-a-days these things are considered. In modern world consumers’ demand is changing day by
day and they switch companies frequently. So, to retain the consumers is important and it will be
possible when companies will be aware about perception of customers and will be able to take
position according to that perception. By creating competitive advantages companies have to do
something special for customers and by this way company can increase their relative market
share as well as achieve top position also.
