BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
This ratio must be at least 1.33 : 1 to ensure minimum margin of 25% of current
assets as margin from long term sources.
Current Ratio measures short term liquidity of the concern and its ability to
meet its short term obligations within a time span of a year.
It shows the liquidity position of the enterprise and its ability to meet current
obligations in time.
Higher ratio may be good from the point of view of creditors. In the long run very
high current ratio may affect profitability ( e.g. high inventory carrying cost)
Shows the liquidity at a particular point of time. The position can change
immediately after that date. So trend of the current ratio over the years to be
analyzed.
Current Ratio is to be studied with the changes of NWC. It is also necessary to
look at this ratio along with the Debt-Equity ratio.
3. ACID TEST or QUICK RATIO : It is the ratio between Quick Current
Assets and Current Liabilities. The should be at least equal to 1.
Example :
Cash 50,000
Debtors 1,00,000
Inventories 1,50,000 Current Liabilities 1,00,000
Total Current Assets 3,00,000
( Net Profit before Interest & Tax / Average Capital Employed) x 100
18. EARNING PER SHARE : EPS indicates the quantum of net profit
of the year that would be ranking for dividend for each share of
the company being held by the equity share holders.

LIABILITIES ASSETS
Capital + Reserves 355 Net Fixed Assets 265
P & L Credit Balance 7 Cash 1
Loan From S F C 100 Receivables 125
Bank Overdraft 38 Stocks 128
Creditors 26 Prepaid Expenses 1
Provision of Tax 9 Intangible Assets 30
Proposed Dividend 15
550 550
Q. What is the Debtors Velocity Ratio ? If the sales are Rs. 15 Lac.
Answer : 4a - 1a = 30,000
Therefore a = 10,000 i.e. Current Liabilities is Rs.10,000
Hence Current Assets would be 4a = 4 x 10,000 = Rs.40,000/-
Ans : We can easily arrive at the amount of Current Asset being Rs. 30 Lac
i.e. ( Rs. 100 L - Rs. 70 L ). If the Current Ratio is 1.5 : 1, then Current
Liabilities works out to be Rs. 20 Lac. That means the aggregate of Net
Worth and Long Term Liabilities would be Rs. 80 Lacs. If the Debt Equity
Ratio is 3 : 1 then Debt works out to be Rs. 60 Lacs and equity Rs. 20 Lacs.
Therefore the Long Term Liabilities would be Rs.60 Lac.
Ans : When Total Assets is Rs.22 Lac then Current Assets would be 22 – 10
i.e Rs. 12 Lac. Thus we can easily arrive at the Current Liabilities figure
which should be Rs. 10 Lac
