topic which survey scholarly articles, books and of source relevant to a particular area
of research or internet.
Some definitions of different scholar are given below.
According to Hart (1998), "A literature review is an account of what has been
published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers." (Page 34, Business
Research Methods, SUKUNDA PUSTAK BHAWAN)
According to Walliman (2006), "A literature review is a summary and analysis of
current knowledge about a particular topic or area of inquiry." (Page 35, Business
Research Methods, SUKUNDA PUSTAK BHAWAN)
According to Cardesco and Gatner (1986), "A literature review is a self-contained
unit in a study which analyses critically a segment of published body of knowledge
through summary, classification and comparison of prior research studies and
theoretical articles." (Page 30, Business Research Methods, ASMITA

Some of the objectives of literature review are as follows.
 To identify the research gap.
 To identify the research conducted on chosen field.
 To develop the research design.
 To develop theoretical frame work.
 To know appropriate tools for data analysis and presentation.
5
2.3 Review of Related Studies
There are so many related studies conducted by previous researches
relating this topic. But, it is quite impossible to review all these studies. Therefore,
only three related studies are reviewed.
One study on “A Study on Liquidity Analysis of Everest Bank Ltd and Prime
Commercial Bank Ltd” (2015) by Ranjana Awal had the following objectives and
findings.
Objectives of the Study
 To study the financial performance of the sampled banks.
 To examine the return over equity and relation between debt and
equity
 To analyze the liquidity position of the banks.
 To evaluate the bank’s efficiency in utilizing assets
 To provide recommendations for the improvement of the future
performance of sample banks based on findings the study.
Major Findings
 Current Ratio of EBL and PCBL looks satisfactory level. Both the Current
Assets and Current Liabilities are in increasing trend during the study
period.
 Cash and bank balance to Current Assets ratio of both banks shows the
increasing trend of the ratio during the study period of FY 2009/10to FY
2011/12 and its declining in the year FY 2012/13.
 Total investment to total deposit ratio during the study period of both
banks have increment their investment out of deposit which is very good
mobilization of deposit.
 The bank could invest the liquid to various sectors maintaining minimum
balance according to NRB.
 The analysis of cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio shows the ratio
is fairly good and have liquid assets enough to pay paid up capital.
The next study on “Comparative Analysis of Liquidity Position of Banks: A Study
on Some Selected Conventional and Islamic Banks in Bangladesh” (2013) by
Sabrina Akhter had the following objectives and findings.
6
 To evaluate the liquidity position of selected banks in Bangladesh.
 To carry out a comparative study of liquidity position of selected banks
with some parameters used for judgment.
Major Findings
 Overall liquidity positions of the Islamic banks are better than
conventional banks.
 If we consider the short term and long term liquidity position of
selected banks, we have found that in both terms Islamic banks are
more efficient than conventional banks.
 However the total amount of liquidity is higher for conventional bank
as we have chosen country’s largest conventional banks. These bank’s
total assets and liabilities are higher than the Islamic banks. Although
in this analysis we have found the Islamic bank’s liquidity position is
more organized than that of the conventional banks.
 From simple regression analysis we can see that ROA exerts great
impact over liquidity of Islamic bank and for conventional bank the
most influential indicator is P/E ratio.
 From multiple regression analysis it is apparent that ROA and P/E
collectively exert great influence over liquidity of Islamic bank
whereas ROA and ROE together exerts immense control over liquidity
of conventional bank.
 So from overall findings from regression analysis it can be articulated
that profitability ratios exercise enormous impact over liquidity for
both types of bank.
Another study on “Liquidity Position Analysis of AB Bank Ltd. & Southeast Bank
Ltd” (2016) by Rakibul Hossen had the following objectives and findings.

 To determine the liquidity position of two largest commercial banks
“Southeast Bank Ltd and AB Bank Ltd” in terms of Asset-based liquidity
indicators and Liability-based liquidity indicators.
7
Major Findings
 Overall performance of both the bank in terms of liquidity is been in a
regular trend with significant volatility.
 It is noted that in cash position ration AB bank has greater volatility
throughout the past five years and Southeast bank has a deep down in year
2014 regarding short-term deposit ratio.
 All the indicators determine that Southeast bank has a greater liquidity
position than AB Bank Ltd in both Asset-based and Liability-based
liquidity indicators.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Meaning of Research Methodology
Research Methodology refers to various sequential steps to adopt by a
researcher in studying a problem with certain objectives in view. It is the systematic
methods of analysis applied to a field of study. It allows readers to critically evaluate
a study’s overall validity and reliability.
According to John.W.Best (1985)“Research Methodology is a systematic and

objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the
development of generalizations, principles, theories and concepts, resulting in
prediction for seeing and possibly ultimate control of events.” ("Research skills for
Management" USA: Ablex Publishing)
According to Mouley (1994) “Research Methodology is the process of arriving at

dependable solution to the problems through the planned and systematic collection,
analysis and interpretation of data” ("Research Design" USA: Black Day Publishing)
3.2 Research Design

Research design is the conceptual structure within which the research is
conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of
data. So, the research design can be defined as a plan, structure and strategy of a
research to find out alternative tools to solve the problems and to minimize the
variances.
3.2.1 Types of Research Design

 Primary data
 Secondary data
The analysis of the study is based on the nature of secondary data. Under the study
secondary data are collected from financial statements of the banks like profit and loss
account and balance sheet.
3.3.2 Sources of Data

Data is the information acquired from optional sources like magazine, books,
documents, journals, reports, websites and more .Normally one can gather data from
two sources namely
 Primary sources
 Secondary sources
Out of these two sources, the analysis of study is based on secondary source, so these
data are obtained from internet.
3.4 Decision of Sample

A sample is a smaller, manageable version of a larger group. A sample should
represent the whole population and not reflect bias toward a specific attribute. The
various types of sampling are
 Probability Sampling
 Simple Random Sampling
 Stratified Sampling
 Cluster Sampling
 Systematic Sampling
10
 Non-Probability Sampling
 Convenience Sampling
 Quota Sampling
 Judgment Sampling
 Snowball Sampling
This report is based on judgment sampling which is one of the types of non-
probability sampling. Many banks are there in Nepal but out of them Standard
Chartered Bank Nepal is selected.
3.5 Data Collection Procedure
Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring data, information or

any variables of interest in a standardized and established manner that enables the
collector answer or test hypothesis and evaluate outcomes of the particular collection.
This is an integral, usually initial, component of any research done in any field of
study. The research has followed all steps of secondary data. Hence, following data
collection procedure was done
 Searched in the computer.

 Got data in Internet.
3.6 Data Processing
Data processing is the conversion of raw data into useable and desired form.
This includes sorting, grouping, and tabulating
Sorting is a process of arranging, ordering items in a systematic and sequential

ordered by some criterion, categorizing, grouping items with similar properties.
Grouping is the process of accumulating similar items into various classes.
Tabulating is a way of processing information or data by putting it in a table.
11
3.7 Data Analysis Tools
Tools used to arrange and classify the data with the purpose of generating
useful information is data analysis. The data in this report are analyzed by using the
financial and simple mathematical tools.
 Financial Tools
Current Assets
 Current ratio = Current Liabilities
Cash∧cash equivalent
 Cash ratio =
Current Liabilities
 Working capital=Current Assets -Current Liabilities
Interest Revenue
 Working capital turnover=
Working capital
 Mathematical Tools
 Percentage
3.8 Data Interpretation Techniques

There are different interpretative techniques that are used in report. But only
three techniques were used in this report
 Figurative and explanation.

 Central meaning of explanation.
 Future prediction and causes/reasons for improvement.

decreased by 15.11% , 7.96% and 15.11% respectively and in 2017 and 2018 the
current ratio has increased by 28.76% and 20.21% respectively.
The positive current ratio means that the greater the company's liquidity i.e.
the better able to meet current obligations using liquid assets. Whereas a negative
current ratio means that a company is not able to meet current obligations using
liquid assets.
From the above analysis it is obvious that the performance of the bank is not
satisfactory. The bank should increase cash balance and/or current assets and reduce
loans and/or current liabilities.
The data after calculation have been shown in the bar diagram given bellow.
