CHAPTER 5:
ANALYSIS ANDINTERPRETATION
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
2/64
Introduction:
Analysis and Interpretation are the two most essential steps in the process of
analyzing the Financial Statements of a concern with the help of various financial
ratios.
Analysis means to observe various ratios, to identify changes taking places
in such ratios, and to find out the reasons of such changes, if any. The level and
historical trends of these ratios can be used to make inferences about a company'sfinancial condition, its operations and attractiveness as an investment.
Interpretation means to draw out meaningful conclusions after the
observation of such ratios.
In this chapter, the analysis of the financial statements of Green Assam
Company Pvt. Ltd. is done using regression analysis, common size and comparative
balance sheets and income statement, financial ratios, a graph is drawn which shows
the result on chart and it is followed by interpretation of the ratio.

ANALYSIS
A r-square value of .9622 shows that there is a very strong relationship between
Sales and expenses. All points do not exactly lie on a straight line but the scatter is
very less. Since the slope that is the X variable 1 is 1.633573 is a positive value so
for every increase in Sales there is a positive increase in Y. X variable coefficient
also represents that for every change in sales there is 1.633573 change in expenses.
We can say that expenses increase by a larger margin than sales which is a negative
sign for the company. The X intercept is -140574843.6 which shows that the value of
expenses when the sales is zero.
The difference between the observed value of the dependent variable (y) and the
predicted value. Each data point has one residual.Residuals are the vertical distances

of each point from the regression line. The residual model plot is showing a random
pattern, as we observe two residuals marked at the higher end of the X axis and one
residual marked at the lower end indicating a good fit for a linear model
2. The dependent variable here is interest and the independent variable is Loan
funds. The amount of interest obligation will vary according to the amount of
loan funds.

ANALYSIS
Interest and loan funds have R-square at 0.84 which shows there is a high
degree of relationship between interest and loan funds. This also shows that
with increase or decrease in loan funds there is an increase or decrease in
interest liability of the firm. Here the X variable is positive which shows that
there is a positive relation between interest and loan funds. We can say infuture if the company borrows money with every increase in Loan funds the
interest liability of the firm also goes up by 0.061. The value of the X
intercept is 706548.1463 that shows the value of interest when loan funds is
zero.
The residual model plot is showing a random pattern, as we observe one
residuals marked at the higher end of the X axis and one residual marked at
the lower end while the third one is marked on the y axis indicating a good fit
for a linear model.

ANALYSIS
The r-square is 0.96 which shows that there is again a high degree of regression
between shareholders fund and total asset. The total asset increases or decreasessimilarly with an increase or decrease in the value of shareholders fund. The slope
of the line is 0.90 which shows that with every increase in shareholders fund the total
asset also increases by 0.90. The X intercept is 10052598 which shows the value of
total asset when the shareholders fund is bought down to zero.
The residual again is a scatter diagram which shows that axis indicating a good fit for
a linear model.

ANALYSIS
The r-square for net profit and interest is 0.53 which shows there is a mild
realtionship existing between interest and net profit. The relationship between the
variables is not high but definately a relation exist between the variables. The slpoe
of the line is - 22.6 which shows that when there is an increse in net profit there is22.6 decrease in interest. This shows that in future if company wants to increase its
net profit it has to decrease its interest. The X- intercept is 3552396 which is the net
profit the firm will achieve if the company no interest obligations.
If we join the points on the residual plots we will get a cyclical figure which
indicates it is not a good fit for a linear model. We need more variables to analyse
this equation.

ANALYSIS
There is very strong relationship existing between gross profit and net sales. All the
points lie almost on the same line which shows that the relationship is very strong.
Any increase or decrease in net sales has an huge impact on the gross profit. The X
variable is 0.623 which shows that with every increase in net sales the gross profit
increases by 0.623. So if the company wants to increase its gross profit it has to
increase its net sales. The X intercept is -18592050.39 which the value of gross profit
is if the company achieves zero sales figures.
The residual model plot is showing a random pattern, as we observe one residuals
marked at the higher end of the X axis and one residual marked at the lower end
while the third one is marked on the y axis indicating a good fit for a linear model.
6. The amount a company needs is depended on the need for these funds. The
time horizon of the investment and monetary obligation tied with such

ANALYSIS
The r-square for the given equation is 0.98 which provides for a strong relationship
between the variables loan funds and net block. The variables fall almost on the same
line. The X variable is-2.77746 which shows that there is a negative relation
between them. When there is a increase in net block there is a decrease of 2.77746 in
loan funds. These shows company does not use much of the loan funds to finance its
net block requirements. As, net block is a long term investment company prefers not
to use debt financing for it. In future if we bring down the net block to zero then also
we will have loan funds of Rs. 52960584.
The residual plot is scattered well with one point above the x-axis and the other
below the x axis while the third point is almost on the y axis. This resembles a good
fit for a linear model.

7. The net block is also depended on the shareholders fund. When the company
decides to purchase long term asset it can finance through shareholders fund.

ANALYSIS
There is a low degree of regression between the share holders fund and net block.
The R-square is only 0.12 which shows that both shareholders fund and net block of
the company are hardly related to each other. Movement of the independent variable
that is net block does not have a substantial impact on the shareholders fund. The X
variable is 0.03522 that is in future if we increase the net block by one the
shareholders fund will also increase by 0.035. This is positive which signifies that
both move in the same direction. The intercept is 15718362 which shows that the in
future if the net block is bought down to zero then the shareholders fund will remain
at 15718362.
The If we join the points on the residual plots we will get a cyclical figure which
indicates it is not a good fit for a linear model. We need more variables to analyse
this equation.

The r-square is 0.78 which shows that there is existence of a relationship between the
sales and sundry debtors. The sales and sundry debtors are not that far apart from thestraight line. The X variable is -63.912 which shows that with every increase in
sundry debtors the sales decline by 63.912. The sales and sundry debtors have a
negative relationship. In future if the companys sundry debtors come down to zero
then the companys sale will remain 124449895.1.

ANALYSIS
1. The company has brought down its liability to zero. It has cleared off both
the secured and unsecured debt. This will definitely bring down the
interest liability in the coming years. We can also say that debts were
paid at the mid or end of the year as the company has paid some interest
for the fy-2009-10 .
2. The reserve and surplus has decreased by about a quarter which might
have been a possible way to finance the paying off loan funds which the
company has bought down to zero.
3. The gross block of the company has decreased again in the fy 2009-10
which signifies the possible sell of asset pertaining to the block.
4. The investments have again in this year decreased by 15% which might
have been used to pay off the debt obligation of the firm.
5. In the fy 2009-10 the sundry debtors have increased by 82% which is
completely opposite to the last year. This signifies that the firm is
allowing more credit to its customers in order to increase its sales. The
collection cost might go up with such a policy.

might be due to the company paying off huge debt which it had taken in
the previous year.

ANALYSIS
1. The reserves and surplus form the major part of liabilities side of the
company. The reserves and surplus of the company has increased over the
year from 2007-08,2008-09 and 2009-10. While this is opposite for the share
capital % of total liabilities which is constantly on a decline in this years.
2. The secured loan earlier formed .45% of the total liabilities of the company
but this has been declining in the subsequent years we also see that the
company has finally bought it to zero. This will mean lesser interest burden
for the firm and may result in increase in profits.
3. The unsecured loans formed 6% of the total liability in the second year while
it was zero in the first year and it was again bought down to zero in the last
year. The sudden rise in unsecured funds may be to fulfil certain short term
needs of the company.
4. The current liabilities have also constantly declined in the three years which
is a good signal for the company.
5. The gross block has constantly declined in the three years. Gross block are a
major part of the company total assets as it forms 60-70% of the total asset of
the firm. This needs to be most carefully managed.
6. The investment in all the years have declined by a small margin which shows
that the company. Investment form 12% of the companys total assets.
7. The loan and advances advanced by the firm is forms the other major part of
the companys total asset. It ranges from 35-40%. They are increasing in all
the three years as the percentage of the total assets.

I. LIQUIDITY RATIO:
1. CURRENT RATIO:
The current ratio is a popular financial ratio used to test a company's liquidity
(also referred to as its current orworking capital position) by deriving the proportion
of current assets available to cover current liabilities. Current ratio means how much
amount of current asset a firm has to pay one rupee of current liabilities. Hence this

31/64
ratio judges the efficiency of the company to meet is short term requirements and
also its liquidity position.
The concept behind this ratio is to ascertain whether a company's short-term
assets (cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and inventory) are
readily available to pay off its short-term liabilities (notes payable, current portion of
term debt, payables, accrued expenses and taxes). In theory, the higher the current
ratio, the better. A current ratio of 2:1 is considered as standard.

Interpretation:
Green Assam Company private limited has taken a good care of its
liquidity position over the past three years. The current ratio of the company has been
over the standard norms all the three years, it being 2.35:1, 2.90:1, and 2.65:1 in
2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. The working capital position of the firm is very
strong and it has available resources to meet its short term liabilities. This is a
positive sign for the company.
2. QUICK RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
33/64
The quick ratio, also known as the quick assets ratio or the acid-test ratio -
is a liquidity indicator that further refines the current ratio by measuring the amount
of the most liquid current assets there are to cover current liabilities.
The quick ratio is more conservative than the current ratio because it
excludes inventory and other current assets, which are more difficult to turn into
cash. Therefore, a higher ratio means a more liquid current position. A liquid ratio of
1:1 is considered ideal.
Where,
Quick assets = current assets inventory prepaid expenses

INTERPRETATION:
The company maintains a strong liquidity status. The liquid ratio of thecompany is 2.16, 2.78 and 2.55 respectively for years 2008, 2009 and 2010. This
means the company has Rs 2.55 amount of liquid assets in 2010 to pay off Re 1
amount of current liability, which reflects its efficiency in liquidity management. The
company has also succeeded in maintaining a consistency in keeping good liquid
ratio, as for all the three years, the ratio is above the ideal ratio of 1:1.
3. ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO / CASH RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
35/64
The absolute liquid ratio or cash ratio is an indicator of a company's
liquidity that further refines both the current ratio and the quick ratioby measuring
the amount of cash, cash equivalents or short term invested funds there are in current
assets to cover current liabilities.
This ratio gains much significance only when it is used in conjunction with
the current and liquid ratios. A standard of 0.5 : 1 absolute liquidity ratio is
considered an acceptable norm. That is, from the point of view of absolute liquidity,
fifty paisa worth of absolute liquid assets are considered sufficient for one rupee
worth of liquid liabilities.

2007-08, 1.11:1in 2008-09 and 1.89:1 in 2009-10. The company keeps a good level
of absolute liquid assets, which includes only cash in this case, as the company donot
have any short-term investments. The ideal ratio is 0.50:1, and the company is above
the standard ratio in all the three years. This also shows that the short-term credibility
of the company is good as any organization would not hesitate in giving credit to the
company, its absolute liquidity being so strong.

1. DEBT - EQUITY RATIO:

liabilities to its total shareholders' equity. This is a measurement of how much
suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligors have committed to the company versus
what the shareholders have committed.
To a large degree, the debt-equity ratio provides another vantage point on
a company's leverage position, in this case, comparing total liabilities to
shareholders' equity, as opposed to total assets in the debt ratio. A lower the
percentage means that a company is using less leverage and has a stronger equity
position. 2:1 is considered to be an ideal debt equity ratio.

INTREPRETATION:
The debt equity ratio of the Green Assam Company Pvt Ltd is 0.37:1 in the
year 2009-10. This indicates that the company relies on owners funds to finance most
of its capital requirements. The amount of borrowed fund available in the company is
40 paisa compared to every rupee of share capital, while the ideal ratio says that a
company should have 2 rupees of borrowed funds for every 1 rupee of capital. The
company is enjoying the fruits of financial leverage, which could help the firm earn
even higher profits.
2. PROPRIETARY RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final

This ratio indicates the extent to which Tangible Assets are financed by
Owners Fund.
The higher this Proprietary ratio denotes that the shareholders have provided
the funds to purchase the assets of the concern instead of relying on other sources of
funds like bank borrowings, trade creditors and others. However, too high a
proprietary ratio means that management has not effectively utilize cheaper sources
of finance like trade and long term creditors. 0.5 : 1 is considered as ideal
proprietary ratio
Where,
Shareholders funds = Share capital + reserves fictitious assets

INTERPRETATION:
Proprietary ratio shows the extent to which the owners funds are utilized to
acquire fixed assets. In 2009-10, the proprietary ratio of the company is 0.99:1,which means that the company has 99 paisa financed from owners fund, for every
rupee of fixed assets. This shows that the debt liability of the firm is too less and the
company dont need to pay any interest. But the company is not availing the benefits
of leveraging as around 99% of the fixed assets are financed by owners. The ideal
ratio is .50:1. Hence, the ratio is both favourable as well as unfavourable for the
company.

3. INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO
The interest coverage ratio is used to determine how easily a company can
pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. The ratio is calculated by dividing a
company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by the company's interest
expenses for the same period.
The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense.
The ability to stay current with interest payment obligations is absolutely critical for
a company as a going concern. While the non-payment of debt principal is a
seriously negative condition, a company finding itself in financial/operational
difficulties can stay alive for quite some time as long as it is able to service its
interest expenses

INTERPRETATION:
The interest coverage ratio of Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd for the
year is 30.82 times. This means the net profit of the company before paying its
interest and taxes is 30.82 times that of the interest. This makes it very clear that the
company faces no problem in paying off the interest due on its long term
borrowings are the net profit is much higher than the interest. The institutional fund
providers would feel very secure giving additional loans to the company if needed
as the company has maintained high interest coverage ratio for the past three years
as well. This also indicates that the company should focus on borrowed funds for
additional capital as the company is not taking the advantages of financial leverage.
III. ACTIVITY RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
43/64
1. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Inventory turnover is an activity ratio that measures the companys
effectiveness by dividing cost of goods sold (an income statement item) by the
average inventory balance (a balance sheet item.) Since cost of goods sold represents
the inventory that leaves the firm, the ratio allows the investor to see how frequently
the company needs to replenish its existing inventory.
Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into
sales. Usually a high inventory stock velocity indicates efficient management of
inventory because more frequently the stocks are sold; the lesser amount of money is
required to finance the inventory.
A low inventory turnover ratio indicates an inefficient management of
inventory, over-investment in inventories, dull business, poor quality of goods, stock
accumulation, accumulation of obsolete and slow moving goods and low profits as
compared to total investment.

INTERPRETATION:
From the above findings it will not be wrong to say that the inventory
management of Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd is very efficient. The inventory
turnover ratio of the company for the year 2009-10 is 39.09 times, which indicates
that in the year 2009, the inventory of the company was converted into sales for
39.09 times, which is quite high. The company needs to keep such high inventory
turnover because the main product of the company is tea, which is perishable in
nature. The tea produced by the company, is in high demand in the local markets,
and has ready buyers for all the produced.

2. ACCOUNTS REVEIVABLES TURNOVER RATIO
Debtors turnover ratio or accounts receivables turnover ratio indicates the
velocity of debt collection of a firm. In simple words it indicates the number of times
average debtors are turned over during a year.
The two basic components of Accounts Receivables turnover ratio are net
credit annual sales and average trade debtors. The trade debtors for the purpose of
this ratio include the amount of Trade Debtors & Bills Receivables. This ratio is
expressed in Times
Debtors turnover ratio indicates the number of times the debtors are
turned over a year. The higher the value of debtors turnover the more efficient is the
management of debtors or more liquid the debtors are.

INTERPRTATION:
The debtors turnover ratio of Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd. is
40.89 times in 2009-10, which is very high as compared to the standard ratio,
that is around 6 times. The reason for such high debtors turnover ratio is that
most of the output of the company is sold in auction, which gives very small
period for repayment. The demand of the tea produced by the firm is also
very high, which reduces the debt repayment period. The company has
maintained high debtors turnover ratio over the past few years.
3. DEBTORS COLLECTION PERIOD RATIO:
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
47/64
The Debtors / Receivable Turnover ratio when calculated in terms of
dayss is known as Average Collection Period orDebtors Collection Period Ratio.
This ratio shows in average, the number of days taken by a debtor to pay off its
debts.
This ratio measures the quality of debtors. A short collection period
implies prompt payment by debtors. It reduces the chances of bad debts. Similarly, a
longer collection period implies too liberal and inefficient credit collection
performance. It is difficult to provide a standard collection period of debtors. But, it
may also be noted that if the average collection period is too low, it may mean thatthe company is very much strict on its debtors for collection of debts, hence they
should be a bit liberal on them.

INTERPRETATION:
The average collection period of Green Assam Pvt. Ltd is 9.51 days. This
shows that the collection policy of the company is very strong and the company has
good quality of debtors who are very prompt in payment. But this may also be a bit
harsh on the part of the debtors if the company is trying to be too strict in terms on
debt repayment, and may lead to long term loss for the firm. The demand of the tea
produced by the firm is very high, which reduces the debt repayment period.

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TURNOVER RATIO
This ratio is similar to the debtors turnover ratio. It compares creditors
with the total credit purchases. It signifies the credit period enjoyed by the firm in
paying creditors. Accounts payable include both sundry creditors and bills payable.
Creditors turnover ratio indicates the number of times the creditors are
turned over a year. A high creditors turnover ratio shows that the creditors are paid
promptly. This situation enhances the credit worthiness of the company. However a
very favorable ratio to this effect also shows that the business is not taking the full
advantage of credit facilities allowed by the creditors.

INTERPRETATION:
The creditors turnover ratio of the firm for the year 2009-10 is 0.85
times. This signifies that the creditors of the company turns 0.85 times in a year. The
creditors turnover ratio for Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd. seems to be
misleading. When the Assistant accountant of the firm was contacted, it was
informed that the purchases is low because the company uses tea leaves grown in
their own tea estate. On the other hand, the creditors includes the amount payable to
the estates who provide tea leaves to meet the deficit, as well as other suppliers like
suppliers of tools, oils and lubricants, etc.
5. WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
51/64
Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilization of
net working capital.
The two components of the ratio are cost of sales and the net working
capital. If the information about cost of sales is not available the figure of sales may
be taken as the numerator. Net working capital is found by deduction from the total
of the current assets the total of the current liabilities.
The working capital turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which the
working capital is being used by a firm. A high ratio indicates efficient utilization ofworking capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise. But a very high working capital
turnover ratio may also mean lack of sufficient working capital which is not a good
situation.

INTERPRETATION:
The working capital turnover ratio of the company for the year 2009-10 is
2.30 times which shows efficient management of working capital in the company.
This also signifies that the working capital in the firm is adequate enough to carry out
the daily workings of the company and also meet the short term liabilities. The firm
is also seen to be consistently maintaining high working capital turnover ratio over
the past three years. Although there is a dip in working capital turnover ratio as
compared to 2007-08, it is still not dissatisfactory.
6. FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
53/64
Fixed asset turnover is the ratio ofsales (on the Profit and loss account)
to the value offixed assets (on the balance sheet). It indicates how well the business
is using its fixed assets to generate sales, specifically property, plant and equipments.
This ratio measures the efficiency and profit earning capacity of the concern.
There is no exact number that determines whether a company is doing a
good job of generating revenue from its investment in fixed assets. This makes it
important to compare the most recent ratio to both the historical levels of the
company along with peer company and/or industry averages. On the other hand,
Higher the ratio, greater is the intensive utilization of fixed assets. Lower ratio means
under-utilization of fixed assets.

INTERPRETATION:
The company is maintaining a fixed asset turnover ratio of 6.41 times for
the year 2009-10. This indicates efficient utilization of fixed assets for generation of
sales. There is a also a steady growth in the fixed asset turnover ratio of the firm over
the past three years, from 5.28 in 2007-08 to 5.62 in 2008-09 and 6.41 in 2009-10.
The main reason for a high fixed asset turnover ratio would be use of high tech
machineries and optimum utilization of resources.
IV. PROFITABILITY RATIO
8/7/2019 Analysis pre final
55/64
1. GROSS PROFIT RATIO
Gross profit ratio (GP ratio) is the ratio of gross profit to net sales expressed
as a percentage. It expresses the relationship between gross profit and sales. The
basic components for the calculation of gross profit ratio are gross profit and net
sales. Net sales means sales minus sales returns. Gross profit would be the difference
between net sales and cost of goods sold.
Gross profit ratio may be indicated to what extent the selling prices of goods
per unit may be reduced without incurring losses on operations. It reflects efficiency
with which a firm produces its products. As the gross profit is found by deducting
cost of goods sold from net sales, higher the gross profit better it is. Ideal GP Ratio
is 25% to 30%. The rate of gross profit must be enough to cover all operating and nn
operating expenses and leave sufficient amount of profits for owners.

INTERPRETATION:
The Gross Profit of Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd. as a percentage of
sales for the year 2009-10 is 47.36%. This means, for every rupee of sales, the
company is earning approximately 47 paisa of profit, after deducting all the direct
expenses incurred in manufacturing tea from tea leaves. The Gross profit ratio of the
firm is much higher than the ideal ratio of 25 30%. There is a steady growth in the
gross profit ratio of the company over the past three years. The main reasons of such
high gross profit ratio would be high selling price of the finished goods. The
company uses tea leaves grown in their own estates to meet the partial requirement
of raw materials. This may also be a reason for high rate of gross profit.

57/64
2. NET PROFIT RATIO
Net profit ratio is the ratio of net profit (after taxes) to net sales. It is
expressed as percentage. The two basic components of the net profit ratio are the net
profit and sales. The net profits are obtained after deducting income-tax and,
generally, non-operating expenses and incomes are excluded from the net profits for
calculating this ratio. Thus, incomes such as interest on investments outside the
business, profit on sales of fixed assets and losses on sales of fixed assets, etc are
excluded.
NP ratio is used to measure the overall profitability and hence it is very
useful to proprietors. The ratio is very useful as if the net profit is not sufficient, the
firm shall not be able to achieve a satisfactory return on its investment.
This ratio also indicates the firm's capacity to face adverse economic
conditions such as price competition, low demand, etc. Obviously, higher the ratio
the better is the profitability.

3. OPERATING PROFIT RATIO
It is the ratio between operating profit and sales. Operating profit is the
excess of gross profit over the operating cost. It is also called Earnings or Profit
before Interest and Tax. It indicates the operating efficiency or inefficiency of a
business in terms of operating profit.
The operating profit margin ratio indicates how much profit a company
makes after paying forvariable costs of production such as wages, raw materials, etc,
as well as other operating expenses like office expenses, selling and distribution
expenses, etc. It is expressed as a percentage of sales and shows the efficiency of a
company controlling the costs and expenses associated with business operations.
This ratio uncovers situations where a company is relying on actions other than
operations to generate an income. Investing activities and sales of assets generate
revenue, but these actions are not usually sustainable and regular as maintaining a
steady flow of sales.
A high, or increasing Operating Profit Percentage is usually a positive
sign, showing the company is increasingly able to generate sales from its operations.

INTERPRETATION
The operating profit ratio of Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd shows that
in the year 2009-10, the company is earning 19 paisa of operating profit for every
rupee of sales made. Even after paying off all the operating expenses, profit left to
the company before paying interest and taxes in 19.72% in year 2009-10. The growth
rate of the company in terms of operating profit is quite good, as the operating profit
ratio increases from 11.95% in 2007-08 to 14.80% in 2008-09 and further to 19.72%
in 2009-10. The reason for high operating profit ratio in 2009 may be due to increase
in net sales of the company, which is allowing company to enjoy the fruits of
economies of large scale.

4. RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED
The return on capital employed (ROCE) ratio, expressed as a percentage,
complements the return on equity (ROE) ratio by adding a company's debt liabilities,
or funded debt, to equity to reflect a company's total "capital employed". This
measure narrows the focus to gain a better understanding of a company's ability to
generate returns from its available capital base.
By comparing net income(before tax) to the sum of a company's debt and
equity capital, investors can get a clear picture of how the use of leverage impacts a
company's profitability. Financial analysts consider the ROCE measurement to be a
more comprehensive profitability indicator because it gauges management's ability to
generate earnings from a company's total pool of capital.
As the primary objective of business is to earn profit, higher the return on
capital employed, the more efficient the firm is in using its funds. The ratio can be
found for a number of years so as to find a trend as to whether the profitability of the
company is improving or otherwise.

INTERPRETATION:
The return on assets ratio of Green Assam Company Pvt. Ltd is 27.84%
for the year 2009-10. This indicates that the net profit of the firm (before interest and
taxes) is 27.84% of that of the fixed assets. This shows a highly efficient
management of resources at the company. The company is hearing high returns on
the investment made on assets. The rate of return on assets is seen to be constant over
2007-08 and 2008-09 but there us a steep increase in the rate in year 2009-10, which
