ACTIVITY RATIOS
a) Inventory Turnover Ratio:
It establishes a relationship between Cost of Revenue from Operations and average
inventory carried during that period.
Trade Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net credit revenue from operations / Average Trade
Receivable
Credit Revenue from Operation = Revenue from Operation – Cash Revenue from
Operation
Debt Collection Period = 365 / 360 Days or 12 Months/ Trade Receivables turnover
Ratio
c) Trade Payables / Creditors Turnover Ratio:
It indicates the speed with which the amount is being paid to creditors. The higher the
ratio, the better it is.
Trade Payables / Creditors Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Purchases / Average Trade
Payables
In the absence of opening creditors and bills payable, closing creditors and bills
payable can be used in the above formula. Also, if credit purchases are not given, then
all purchases are deemed to be on credit.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
In case, a statement of profit and loss is given, cost of revenue from operations i.e. cost
of goods sold is computed by adding cost of materials consumed, purchases of stock-
in-trade, changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in- progress and stock-in-
trade and direct expenses.
b) Operating Ratio:
Operating ratio establishes the relationship between operating cost and revenue from
operations i.e. net sales. = (Cost of Revenue from operations + Operating Expenses) /
revenue from Operations *100
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Cost of Materials Consumed + Purchases of Stock-
in trade + Change in Inventories of Finished Goods, Work-in-progress and Stock in-
trade + Direct Expenses
Or
Revenue from Operations – Gross Profit.
Operating Profit Ratio: Operating profit ratio establishes the relationship between the
operating profit and i.e. (revenue from operations) net sales.
Operating Profit Ratio = Operating Profit / revenue from Operations * 100 = …..%
Operating Profit = Gross profit + Other Operating Income - Other Operating Expenses
Or
Net Profit (before tax) + non- Operating Expenses/Losses - Non - Operating Income
Or
Net Profit Ratio = Net profit after tax / Revenue from operations * 100 = ….. %
Net Profit = Revenue from operations - Cost from Revenue from Operations - Operating
Expenses - Non- operating Expenses + Non-operating Income - Tax
Capital employed can be calculated from liabilities side approach and assets side
approach as follows:
When Liabilities Approach is Followed, It is computed by adding
(a) Shareholders‘ funds (i.e. share capital, reserves and surplus).
(b) Non-current liabilities (i.e. long-term borrowings and long-term provisions).
NOTE: Since, non-operating assets are excluded while determining capital employed,
income from non-operating assets should also be excluded from profit.
