When the financial statements are obtained the financial strengths and weaknesses can be gauged by the application of ratio analysis. Some of the important ratios are
Current Assetsa) Current ratio = ---------------------- Current Liabilities
Current Assets - Inventoryb) Quick ratio = ----------------------------------------- Current Liabilities
The above two ratios are widely used to assess the liquidity position of a company in meeting its short-term obligations.

The probability of receiving the payment or defaulting the payment by the customer.
The Rex company is considering offering credit to customer. The probability that the customer would pay is 0.9 and the probability that the customer would default is 0.1. The revenues form the sale would be 80,000 and the cost of sale would be 60,000.
If the customer pay, the company gets a profit of Rs.20,000 while it losses Rs.60,000 if he fails to pay.

The weighted net benefit is Rs.20,000 * 0.9 – Rs.60,000 * 0.1 = 12,000.Hence it is preferable to grant credit as the weighted net benefit is
positive.

• Sunshine Industries is considering offering credit to a customer. The probability that the customer would pay is 0.5 % and the probability that the customer would default is 0.5 %.
• Revenue from the sale = Rs 2500• Cost of sale = Rs 1700• The expected profit from offering credit
0.5 ( 2500 – 1700 ) – 0.5 (1700) = - 500• As this is negative the company cannot offer credit.

Under a lock box system, customers are advised to mail their payments to special post office boxes called lockboxes, which are attended to by local collection banks, instead of sending them to corporate headquarters.
Thus the lock box system: (i) cuts down the mailing time, because Cheque are received at a nearby post office instead of at corporate headquarters, (ii) reduces the processing time because the company does not have to open the envelopes and deposit the Cheque for collection, and (iii) shortens the availability delay because the Cheque are typically drawn on local banks

• Though various techniques have been discussed here for the management of accounts receivable, in practice very few Indian companies have a stated and systematic credit policy.
Companies have to :-
1.Strengthen their management of receivables.
2. State explicit and articulate credit policies.
3. An efficient collection program.
4. Better co ordination between production , sales , and finance departments .RE
