CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision making. They play a
dominant role in setting the frame work of managerial decisions. Financial analysis is “the
process of identifying the financial strengths and weakness of the firm by properly
establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and the profit and loss
account”. There are various methods or techniques used in analyzing financial statements,
such as comparative statements, schedule of changes in working capital, common-size
percentage, funds analysis, trend analysis and ratio analysis. The ratio analysis is the most
powerful tool of financial analysis.
Meaning of ratio:
According to accountant’s hand book by WIXON, KELL AND BEDFORD, “a ratio
is an expression of the quantitative relationship between two numbers”.
(2) Aid in forecasting and planning: Ratio analysis is an invaluable aid to management in
the discharge of its basic function such as planning, forecasting, control etc. The ratios that
are derived after analyzing and scrutinizing the past result help the management to prepare
budgets to formulate policies and to prepare the future plan of action etc.
(5) Effective tool: Ratio analysis helps in making effective control of the business measuring
performance, control of cost etc. Effective control is the keynote of better management.
Ratio ensures secrecy.
Uses:
Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision making. Ratio analysis helps
in making decision from the information provided in financial statements.
Ratio analysis is of much help in forecasting and planning. Meaningful conclusions
can be drawn for future from these ratios.
Financial strength and weakness of a firm are communicated in an easier manner by
using ratios. Ratios help in communication and enhance the values of the financial
statements.
Inter-firm comparison:
Ratios of one firm can also be compared with the ratios of some other selected firms
in the same industry at the same point of time. This kind of companies helps in evaluating
relative financial position and performance of the firm.
(1) Limited use of Single Ratio: A single ratio usually, does not convey much of a sense.
To make a better interpretation a number of ratios have to be calculated which is likely to
confuse the analyst than help him in making any meaningful conclusion.
(2) Lack of adequate standards: There are no well accepted standard or rules of thumb for
all ratios which can be accepted as norms. It renders interpretation of the ratios difficult.
(3) Inherent limitations of accounting: Like financial statements, ratios also suffer from the
inherent weakness of accounting records such as their historical nature. Ratios of the past are
not necessarily true indicators of the future.
(5) Personal Bias: ratios are only means of financial analysis and not an end in itself. Ratios
have to be interpreted and different people may interpret the same ratio in different ways.
(6) Incomparable : not only industries differ in their nature but also the firm of the similar
business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures, etc., It makes comparison of
ratios difficult and misleading. Moreover, comparisons are made difficult due to differences
in definitions of various financial terms used in the ration analysis.
(7) Price level changes: While making ratio analysis, no consideration is made to the
changes in price levels and this makes the interpretation of ratios invalid.
(8) Ratios no substitutes: Ratio analysis is merely a tool of financial statements. Hence,
ratios become useless if separated from the statement from which they were computed.
Classification of ratios:
The use of ratio analysis is not confined to financial manager only. There are different
parties interested in the ratio analysis for knowing the financial position of a firm for different
purposes. Various accounting ratios can be classified as follows
Ratios
Types of ratios:
Several ratios calculating from the accounting data can be grouped into the various
classes according to the financial activities or function to be evaluated. The various parties
that are generally under taken financial analysis to measure solvency and profitability of the
firm. Management is interested in evaluating every aspect of all parties and see that the firm
grows profitability. In view of the requirements of the various users of ratios, we may classify
them into the following four important categories.
Liquidity Ratios
Leverage Ratios
Activity Ratios
Profitability Ratios
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity ratio measures the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations.
Analysis of liquidity needs the preparation of cash, budgets and cash funds flow statements.
But liquidity ratios by establishing relation cash and other current assets to current
obligations provide a quick measure of liquidity. A firm should ensure that it does not suffer
from lack of liquidity, and also that it is not too much highly liquid. The failure of a company
to meets it obligations due to lack of sufficient liquidity will result in bad credit image. A
very high degree of liquidity is also bad. Ideal assets earn nothing. The firm’s funds will be
un necessary tied up in current assets.
The most common ratios, which indicate the extent of liquidity or lack of it, are:
Current Ratio
Quick Ratio
Absolute Ratio
Current Ratio:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
Current assets include cash and those assets, which can be converted into cash with in
a year, such a marketable securities, debtors and inventories, prepaid expenses. All
obligations maturing with in a year are included in current liabilities. Thus current liabilities
include creditors, bills payable, accused expenses, short-term bank loans, income tax and
long-term debt maturing in the current year. The current ratio is the measure of the firm’s
short-term solvency.
A normal standard of 1:1 acceptable quick ratio. A very high or very low ratio is not
desirable. It is used to measure the ability of the company to meet its current liabilities at
short notice.
Debt Equity Ratio: Debt equity ratio indicates the relationship between long-term debts and
shareholders’ funds. It helps in knowing the soundness of the long-term financial policies of a
company. It is calculated as:
Proprietary Ratio
It express the relationship between net worth and total assets
Net worth
Proprietary Ratio =
Total assets
Activity Ratios:
Activity ratios measure how efficiency the firm employees its resources. These ratios
involve comparison between the level of sates and Investment in various accounts such as
inventories, debtors, creditors; fixed assets etc., Activity ratios are used to measure the speed
with which various accounts are converted into sales are cash.
Cost goods sold (GCS): Sales – Gross profit
The major turnover rations are:
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability ratio helps in assessing the adequacy of profits earned by the company
and also discovers whether profitability is increasing or decreeing. Profitability ratios are
measured with respect to sales, capital employed total assets employed shareholders
Return on capital employed
Return on shareholders’ funds
Return on total assets
Gross profit ratio
Net profit ratio
Operating profit ratio
Return on Capital Employed = Net profit after interest and tax X 100
Capital employed
CHAPTER-II
PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION
The soap and detergent industry includes companies that are primarily engaged in
manufacturing soap, synthetic organic detergents, inorganic alkaline detergents, and crude
and refined glycerin from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is an international industry, and
during the early years of 1990, world demand for its products has increased 1 to 3 percent
every year.
Many of the participants in the industry competed on a global basis. According to
analysts, there is a firm correlation the standard of living of a nation and its usage of soap and
detergent products. The analysts are expecting the industry to continue to grow in both the
industrialized as well as developing nations.
Security Tenders:
According to recent trends, liquid cleansing products are outpacing the traditional bar
soap and powder cleaning products. In addition to environmental and health considerations,
societal transformation has propelled the changes in the soap and
Size:
The industry includes about 700 companies with combined annual revenue of about
$17 billion. Major companies in the consumer sector include divisions of P&G, Unilever, and
Dial. Major companies in the commercial sector include US Chemical and divisions of
Ecolab. The industry is highly concentrated with the top 50 companies holding almost 90
percent of the market.
Growth:
High consumer awareness and penetration levels will enable the market to grow at an
average 8-10% per annum with slightly higher growth in the rural areas. Higher penetration
stems from popularity of low-cost detergents. Hence, besides increase in per capita
consumption, there is tremendous scope for movement up the value chain.
HLL, Nirma, and P&G are the major players in the market with 40%, 30%, and 12%
share, respectively. While HLL dominates the premium segment, Nirma is the leader in the
popular segment.
requirements of laundry cleaning, such as stain and soil removal, bleaching, fabric softening
and conditioning and disinfectant requirements under the varying temperature, water, and
usage conditions. Laundry Cleaning Products can be categorized into five main types –
Detergent Powder
Detergent Cake
Fabric Softener
Laundry Liquid
Stain & Odor Eliminator
Detergent Cake:
A detergent cake is generally an all-purpose laundry cleaning detergent that comes in
the form of a cake. Easy and convenient to use, detergent cakes are generally meant for hand
washing of all washable clothes and fabrics. Detergent cakes are one of the most popular and
widely used detergent products for laundry cleaning. Detergent cakes are generally
formulated using one or more surfactants to improve their cleaning performance and make
them good even for use in hard water conditions.
Formulation:
Detergent cakes are formulated using batch or continuous process of soap making.
These cleansing products contain different ingredients that are used to improve their cleaning
performance. The surfactant play an important role in improving the cleansing action of
detergent by reducing the surface tension of wash liquid thereby improving the wet ability of
washable fabric.
Ingredients:
Some of the important ingredients of detergent cakes include - surfactants, detergent
builders, boosters, brightening agents, synthetic fragrances, colors,
Detergent Powder:
Detergent powders are laundry-cleaning products that are made using a synthetic
surfactant in place of the metal fatty acid salts, which are used in soaps. Made in powder
form, these detergents are also sold as laundry powders, hard surface cleansers, etc. Majority
of the powder detergents has soap in their mixture of ingredients; however they basically
function more as a foam depressant than as surfactant.
The main advantage of detergent powders is that they are easy to use and remove the
dust, dirt, grease, oil and other environmental pollutants with ease and effectiveness.
Detergent powders can be used for hand wash as well as machine wash applications.
Ingredients:
The most common ingredients that are used in making powder detergents are -
Surfactants, optical brighteners, fabric softeners, enzymes, detergent builders, bleaches and
compounds, synthetic perfumes and fragrances, and more.
Seasonal impacts:
Run-off of phosphates into water streams is not only due to detergents, but also due to
fertilizers and manures. Findings show that during the dry seasons when the run-off from
agriculture is virtually zero, and manure run-off is down to one fifth of the total annual rate,
detergents are responsible for additional loadings of rivers by about 7.3 per cent which poses
significant eutrophication impact risks. In India, it is not uncommon to see ponds, lakes, and
part of rivers choking with algae or other aquatic plants. In the Indian context, this is a grim
situation since these water bodies are the primary sources of water for a large section of the
population
Regulations:
India has addressed the eutrophication problem only at the level of sewage treatment
plants (STPs). The ever-increasing demand of phosphate-laden detergents in rural areas will
increase eutrophication of the local water bodies that serve as the primary water resource.
Even metropolitan cities like Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai, and Chennai are partially skewered.
More specifically, only 43 per cent of class I cities and 12 per cent of class II cities are
skewered. Of this only 37 per cent of sewage is partially treated in class I cities and 5 per cent
in class II cities.
Prof. Kaushik reveals that in Canada, and in many states of USA, public pressure has
led to the regulation of phosphates in detergents since early 1970s. According to him these
countries have spent $8.5 billion in 1970s to upgrade sewage treatment plants to remove
excessive phosphates. Canada successfully implemented the appropriate regulation to control
phosphates emission into water systems by limiting the amount of phosphates in laundry
detergents to 0.5%.
Future Outlook:
Factors such as demographics, environment, globalization, and economy continue to
shape the soaps and detergent industry. The effect of demographic factors can be seen in
different sectors of industry. As the population of a nation grows old, the demand for
cosmetic products with softer colors, milder formulations, and the treatments for aging skin
increases. As the consumers become better educated and informed, there is a fast growing
market for scientifically based soap and detergent products, which at the same time medicate
and beautify.

The secret behind the success of any famous or growing industry is nothing but the sincere
and hard working of both the Management and workers by mutual understanding and respecting
each other under the coordination and moving towards aimed goal with dedication cooperatively
for the growth of the Industry unto last. In other words, the Management and workers are the
two wheels of a cart in an Industry and if any one of the wheels is damaged, the cart cannot
move to reach the destination. Or otherwise, the Industry will be collapsed if Management and
workers differ each other and move in different way. Both categories should move like one
family to reach their goals and to run the Industry successfully for mutual benefit. Management
must recognize the worker /employee, by encouraging him on his achievements in his work from
time to time, so that he will sacrifice his whole time in his work sincerely to get better
appreciation and recognize from the Management side. Many multinational Companies are
adopting the system of “Kaizen” as universally accepted to get more productivity from the
worker/employee, i.e.extraction of maximum productivity in minimum time.

DESIGN OF THE STUDY
Finance is the study of how investors allocate their assets over time under
conditions of certainty and uncertainty. A key point in finance, which affects decisions, is the
time value of money, which states that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
Finance measures the risks vs. profits and gives an indication of whether the investment is
good or not.
A project is an activity sufficiently self-contained to permit financial and
commercial analysis. In most cases projects represent expenditure of capital funds by pre-
existing which want to expand or improve their operation.
In general a project is an activity in which, we will spend money in expansion of
returns in which logically seems to lead itself planning. Financing and implementations as a
unit, is a specific activity with a specific point and a specific ending point intended to a
accomplish a specific objective of the study.
Capital budgeting has its going in the natural recourse and infrastructures sectors.
The current demand for infrastructures and capital investments is being fueled by
deregulation in the “FMCG” (Fast Moving Consumer Goods), Telecommunication, &
Transportation sectors, by the globalization of product markets and the needs from
manufacturing scale and by the privatization of government owned entities in developed
countries & developing.
Understanding the organization’s financial health is a fundamental aspect of
responding to today’s increasingly stringent financial reporting requirements. To avoid risks,
organizations must quickly

CHAPTER- IV
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Present chapter deals with analysis and interpretation of data. The data was analyzed
with the help simple statistical tools such as averages. The data is depicted in the form of bar
charts and tables.
Liquidity ratios:
Current ratio:
Current ratio always known as working capital ratio. Current ratio indicates the
liquidity of current assets or the ability of a business to meet its current obligations. The ideal
form of the ratio is two to one (2:1) that means two times of current assets to one time of
current liabilities.
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Table and Graph No 4.1: Current Ratio for the year ended 2021-2022
Year Current Assets Current Liabilities Ratio
2017-18 15550535.74 20417516.75 0.767

2021-22 81984258.99 23215999.72 3.531
Interpretation:
The company current ratio slightly changed from year to year since 2019-2020.
The company current ratio has been increasing from year to year from 2020-2021.
Company current assets had fluctuation occurred during the study period from the year 2022.
Quick ratio:
The quick ratio or the acid ratio test ratio as it is some times called, is concerned with
the relationship between liquid assets and liquid liabilities to supplement the information
given by the current ratio. The ideal norm of this ration 1 : 1 that means equal proportion of
liquid or current assets to current liabilities. Inventories are not included in current assets for
the purpose of this ratio.
Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
Table and Graph No 4.2: Quick Ratio for the year ended 2021-2022
Interpretation:
The company quick ratio slightly changed from year to year since 2017-2017.
The company quick ratio has been decreasing in the year 2018-2019.
The company quick ratio has been increasing in the year 2019-2020.
The company quick ratio has been increasing in the year 2021-2022.
Absolute liquidity ratio:
The absolute liquidity ratio is also known as super quick ratio. Through receivables
are generally more liquid in nature than inventories. There may be doubts regarding the real
stability of debts. Therefore, absolute liquidity ratio related the sum of cash and marketable
securities to the total current liabilities.
Absolute liquidity ratio = Cash / Current Liabilities
Table and Graph No 4.3: Absolute Liquidity Ratio for the year ended 2021-2022
Year Cash Current Liabilities Ratio
Interpretation:
Company cash ratio had been decreasing from 2017-2018 i.e. 0.140 – 0.035.
Company cash ratio has maintained cash lowest is 285.179 in the year 2018-2019.
Company cash ratio had been decreasing from 2021-2022.
Leverage ratios:
Debt equity ratio:
The debt equity ratio is the measure of relative claims of creditors and owners against
the firm’s assets. There are various interpretations of debt and equality and therefore debt-
equity may be calculated in number of ways.
The term debt considered here is exclusive of current liabilities and equity refers to
own funds. A high ratio shows that the claims of creditors are grated than those of owners. A
low ratio implies a greater claim of owners that that of creditors. An ideal norm of the ratio is
1:1.
Debt equity ratio = Long term debt / Capital
