EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project was done on the study of ratio analysis for kotak Mahindra group . Fundamental

Analysis has a very broad scope. One aspect looks at the general (qualitative) factors of a

company. The other side considers tangible and measurable factors (quantitative). This means

crunching and analyzing numbers from the financial statements. If used in conjunctionwith other

methods, quantitative analysis can produce excellent results.

Ratio analysis isn't just comparing different numbers from the balance sheet, income statement,

and cash flow statement. It's comparing the number against previous years, other companies, the

industry, or even the economy in general. Ratios look at the relationships between individual

values and relate them to how a company has performed in the past, and might perform in the

future.

Ration analysis can be classified into different categories. according to there necessities.

These categories are:-

Liquidity ratio

Leverage ratio

Activity ratio

Profitability ratio

(1.1) Introduction of ratio analysis

Ratio Analysis

Definition of ratio analysis:

Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as

the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength andweaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be

determined. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two

variables.

Significance or Importance of ratio analysis:

y Helps in evaluating the firms performance:

With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several

aspects such as financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of theundertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether themanagement has utilized the firms assets correctly, to increase the investors wealth. It

ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of firms assets

y Helps in inter-firm comparison:

Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by providing necessary data. An

interfirm comparison indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for thecomparison of the performance of different departments. If comparison shows a variance,

the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if results are negative, the action

may be initiated immediately to bring them in line.


10/68

Page 10 of68

y Simplifies financial statement:

The information given in the basic financial statements serves no useful Purpose

unless it s interrupted and analyzed in some comparable terms. The ratio analysis is one

of the tools in the hands of those who want to know something more from the financial

statements in the simplified manner.

y Helps in determining the financial position of the concern:

Ratio analysis facilitates the management to know whether the firmsfinancial position is improving or deteriorating or is constant over the years by setting a

trend with the help of ratios The analysis with the help of ratio analysis can know thedirection of the trend of strategic ratio may help the management in the task of planning,

forecasting and controlling.

y Helpful in budgeting and forecasting:

Accounting ratios provide a reliable data, which can be compared, studied and

analyzed. These ratios provide sound footing for future prospectus. The ratios can also

serve as a basis for preparing budgeting future line of action.

y Liquidity position:

With help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding the Liquidity

position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firmwould be satisfactory if it is able to

meet its current obligation when they become due. The ability to met short term liabilities

is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm.


11/68

Page 11 of68

y Long term solvency:

Ratio analysis is equally for assessing the long term financial ability of the Firm.

The long term solvency s measured by the leverage or capital structure and profitability

ratio which shows the earning power and operating efficiency, Solvency ratio shows

relationship between total liability and total assets.

y Operating efficiency:

Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis, relevant from the View

point of management is that it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various activity

ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.

Trend and Industry Analysis

Thats where trend (time-series) and industry (cross-sectional) analysis come

in. You can compare your firms ratios to trend data, which is data from other time periods for

your firm, to see how your firm is doing over a series of time periods.

You can also compare your firms ratios to industry data. You can gather data from

similar firms in the same industry, calculate their financial ratios, and see how your firm is doing

compared to the industry at large. Ideally, to get a good picture of the financial picture of your

firm, you should do both.

STANDARDS OF COMPARISION:

The ratio analysis involves comparison for a useful interpretation of the financial

statements. A single ratio is itself does not indicate favourable or unfavourable condition. It

should be compared with some standard. It consists of:

y PAST RATIOS: Rations calculated from past financial statements of the same firm.

y COMPETITORS RATIOS: Ratios of some selected firms, especially most

progressive and successful competitor, at the same point of time.

y INDUSTRY RATIOS: Ratios of industry to which the firm belongs.

y PROJECTED RATIOS: Ratios developed using the projected or proforma,

financial statements of the same firm.


13/68

Page 13 of68

(1.2) Classification of Ratios

The parties interested in financial analysis are short and long term creditors, owners and

management. Short term creditors main interest is I the liquidity position or short term solvency

of the firm. Long term creditors on the other hand are more interested in the long term solvency

and profitability of the firm. Similarly, owners concentrate on the firm's profitability and

financial condition. Management is interested in evaluating every aspect of the firm's

performance. They are classified into 4 categories:

y Liquidity ratios

y Leverage ratios

y Activity ratios

y Profitability ratios

Liquidity Ratios:

Liquidity ratios measure the firms ability to meet current obligations. It is extremely

essential for a firm to be able to meet its obligations as they become due liquidity ratio's

measure. The ability of the firm to meet its current obligations. In fact analysis is of liquidity

needs in the preparation of cash budgets and cash and funds flow statements, but liquidity ratios

by establishing a relationship between 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 does

not have excess liquidity. The failure of the company to meet its obligations due to the lack of

sufficient liquidity will result in a poor credit worthiness, loss of creditors confidence or even in

legal tangles resulting in the closure of company. A very high degree of liquidity is also bad,

idle assets earn nothing. The firm's funds will be unnecessarily tied up to current assets.

Therefore, it is necessary to strike a proper balance between high liquidity and lack of liquidity.

1. Current ratio

2. Quick ratio

3. Interval measure

4. Net working capital ratio


14/68

Page 14 of68

1. Current Ratio:

Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities: Current assets

include cash and those assets which can be converted into cash within a year, such as marketable

securities, debtors and inventories. Current liabilities include creditors, bills payable, accrued

expenses, short term back loan, income tax liability and long term debt maturing in current year.

The current ratio is a measure of firm's short term solvency.

As a conventional rule a current ratio of 2:1 or more is considered satisfactory. The

current ratio represents margin of safety for creditors

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENTS ASSETS

CURRENT LIABILITIES

2. Quick Ratio:

Quick ratio establishes a relationship between quick or liquid, assets and current

liabilities. Cash is the most liquid asset, other assets which are considered to be relatively liquid

and included in quick assets are debtors and bills receivables and marketable securities.

Inventories are considered to be less liquid.

Generally a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial condition

QUICK RATIO: CURRENT - INVENTORIES

CURRENT LIABILITIES

3. Interval Measure:

The ratio which assesses a firm's ability to meet its regular cash expenses is the interval

measure. Interval measure relates the liquid assets to average daily operating cash outflows.

The daily operating expensesw

ill be equal to cost of goods sold plusselling, administrative andgeneral expenses less depreciation divided by number of days in the year.

INTERVAL MEASURE: CURRENTASSETSINVENTORY

AVERAGE DAILY OPERATING EXPENSES


15/68

Page 15 of68

4. Net Working Capital Ratio:

The difference between current assets and current liabilities excluding short term bank

borrowing is called net working capital or net current assets. Net working capital is sometimes

used as measure of firm's liquidity.

NET W.C RATIO: NETWORKING CAPITAL

NET ASSETS

Liverage Ratios:

The short term creditors, like bankers and suppliers of raw material are more concerned

with the firms current debt paying ability. On the other hand, long term creditors like debenture

holders, financial institutions etc. are more concerned with firms long term financial strength. In

fact a firm should have short as well as long term financial position. To judge the long term

financial position of the firm, financial leverage or capital structure, ratios are calculated. These

ratios indicate mix of funds provided by owners and lenders. As a general rule, there should be

an appropriate mix of debt and owners equity in financing the firm's assets.

1. Debt Ratio

2. Debt Equity Ratio

3. Capital employed to net worth ratio

4. Other Debt Ratios

1. Debt Ratio:

Several debt ratios may be used to analyse the long term solvency of the firm. It may

therefore compute debt ratio by dividing total debt by capital employed or net assets.

Net assets consist of net fixed assets and net current assets:

DEBT RATIO: TOTAL DEBT

NET ASSETS

2. Debt Equity Ratio:


16/68

Page 16 of68

It is computed by dividing long term borrowed capital or total debt by Share holders fund or net

worth.

DEBT EQUITY RATIO: TOTAL DEBT

NET WORTH

DEBT EQUITY RATIO: LONG TERM BORROWED CAPITAL

SHARE HOLDERS FUND

3. Capital Employed To Net Worth Ratio:

There is an another alternative way of expressing the basic relationship between debt and

equity. It helps in knowing, how much funds are being contributed together by lenders and

owners for each rupee of owner's contribution. This can be found out by calculating the ratio of

capital employed or net assets to net worth

NET WORTH RATIO: CAPITAL EMPLOYED

NET WORTH

4. Other Debt Ratios:

To assess the proportion of total funds Short and Long term provided by outsiders to

finance total assets, the following ratio may be calculated TL to TA RATIO:

Other debt ratio: TOTAL LIABILITIES

TOTAL ASSETS

Activity Ratios:

Funds of creditors and owners are invested in various assets to generate sales and profits.

The better the management of assets, the larger is an amount of sales. Activity ratios are

employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm manages and utilizes its assets these

ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being


17/68

Page 17 of68

converted or turned over into sales. Activity ratios, thus, involve a relationship between sales

and assets. A proper balance between sales and assets generally reflects that assets are managed

well.

1. Inventory turnover ratio

2. Debtors turnover ratio3. Collection period

4. Net assets turnover ratio

5. Working Capital turnover ratio

1. Inventory Turnover Ratio:

Inventory turnover ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm in producing and selling its

product. It is calculated by dividing cost of goods sold by average inventory. Average inventory

consists of opening stock plus closing stock divided by 2.

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO: COST OF GOODS SOLD

AVERAGE INVENTORY

2. Debtors Turnover Ratio:

Debtors turnover ratio is found out by dividing credit sales by average debtors. Debtors

turnover indicates the number of times debtors turnover each year. Generally the higher the

value of debtors turnover, the more efficient is the management of credit

DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO = CREDIT SALES

AVERAGE DEBTORS

3. Collection Period:

The average number of days forwhich debtors remain outstanding is called the average

collection period.

AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD= NO. OF DAYS IN A YEAR


18/68

Page 18 of68

DEBTORS TURNOVER

4. Net Assets Turnover Ratio:

A firm should manage its assets efficiently to maximise sales. The relationship between

sales and assets is called net assets turnover ratio. Net assets include net fixed assets and netcurrent assets

NET ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO= SALES

NET ASSETS

5. Working Capital Turnover Ratio:

A firm may also like to relate net current assets to sales. It may thus compute net

working capital turnover by dividing sales by net working capital

WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO= SALES

NET CURRENT ASSETS

Profitability Ratios:

A company should earn profits to survive and grow over a long period of time. Profits

are essential but it would be wrong to assume that every action initiated by management of a

company should be aimed at maximizing profits, irrespective of social consequences.

Profit is the difference between revenues and expenses over a period of time. Profit is the

ultimate output of a company and it will have no future if it fails to make sufficient profits.

Therefore, the financial manager should continuously evaluate the efficiency of the company in

terms of profits. The profitability ratios are calculated to measure the operating efficiency of the

company.

Generally, there are two types of profitability ratios

1. Profitability in relation to sales

2. Profitability in relation to investment

a. Gross profit margin ratio


19/68

Page 19 of68

b. Net profit margin ratio

c. Operating expenses ratio

d. Return on Investment

e. Return on equity

f. Earning per shareg. Dividends per share

h. Dividend pay out ratio

i. Price earning ratio

a. Gross Profit Ratio:

It is calculated by dividing gross profit by sales. The gross profit margin reflects the

efficiency with which management produces each unit of product. This ratio indicates the

average spread between the cost of goods sold and the sales revenue.

GROSS PROFIT RATIO= GROSS PROFIT

SALES

b. Net Profit Ratio:

Net profit is obtained when operating expenses, interest and taxes are subtracted from the

gross profit. The net profit margin is measured by dividing profit after tax or net profit by sales.

NET PROFIT RATIO= NET PROFIT

SALES

c. Operating Expense Ratio:

Operating expense ratio explains the changes in the profit margin ratio. This ratio is

computed by dividing operating expenses like cost of goods sold plus selling expenses, general

expenses and administrative expenses by sales.

OPERATING EXPENSE RATIO= OPERATING EXPENSES

SALES


20/68

Page 20 of68

The higher operating expenses ratio is unfavorable since it will leave operating income to

meet interest dividends etc.

d. Return On Investment:

The term investment may refer to total assets or net assets. The conventional approach ofcalculating return on investment is to divide profit after tax by investment. Investment

represents pool of funds supplied by shareholders and lenders. While PAT represent residue

income of shareholders

RETURN ON INVESTMENT= PROFIT AFTER TAX

INVESTMENT

e. Return On Equity:

Ordinary share holders are entitled to the residual profits. A return on shareholders

equity is calculated to see the profitability of owners investment. Return on equity indicates how

well the firm has used the resources of owners. The earning of a satisfactory return is the most

desirable objective of business.

RETURN ON EDQUITY= PROFIT AFTER TAX

NET WORTH

f. Earnings Per Share:

The measure is to calculate the earning per share. The earning per share is calculated by

dividing profit after tax by total number of outstanding. EPS simply shows the profitability of

the firm on a per share basis, it does not reflect how much is paid as dividend and how much is

retained in business.

EARNINGS PER SHARE= PROFIT AFTER TAX

NO. OF SHARES OUTSTANDING


21/68

Page 21 of68

g. Dividends Per Share:

The net profits after taxes belong to shareholders. But the income which they really

receive is the amount of earnings distributed as cash dividends. Therefore, a larger number of

present and potential investors may be interested in DPS rather than EPS. DPS is the earningsdistributed to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding.

DPS= EARNINGS PAID TO SHARE HOLDERS

NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING

h. Dividend Pay Out Ratio:

The dividend pay out ratio is simply the dividend per share divided by Earnings Per

Share.

DIVIDEND PAY OUT RATIO= DIVIDEND PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

i.Price Earning Ratio:

The reciprocal of the earnings yield is called price earning ratio. The price earning ratio

is widely used by security analysts to value the firm's performance as expected by investors.

Price earning ratio reflects investors expectations about the growth of firm's earnings. Industries

differ in their growth prospects. Accordingly, the P/E ratios for industries very widely.

PRICE EARNING RATIO= MARKET VALUE PER SHARE

EARNING PER SH

(1.3) Objectives Of Project

Purposes and Considerations of Ratios and Ratio Analysis.

Ratios are highly important profit tools in financial analysis that help financial analysts

implement plans that improve profitability, liquidity, financial structure, reordering, leverage,

and interest coverage. Although ratios report mostly on past performances, they can be predictive

too, and provide lead indications of potential problem areas.

Ratio analysis is primarily used to compare a company's financial figures over a period of

time, a method sometimes called trend analysis. Through trend analysis, you can identify trends,

good and bad, and adjust your business practices accordingly. You can also see how your ratios

stack up against other businesses, both in and out of your industry.

There are several considerations you must be aware ofwhen comparing ratios from one

financial period to another orwhen comparing the financial ratios of two or more companies.

y If you are making a comparative analysis of a company's financial statements over a

certain period of time, make an appropriate allowance for any changes in accounting policies

that occurred during the same time span.

y When comparing your business with others in your industry, allow for any

material differences in accounting policies between your company and industry norms.

y When comparing ratios from various fiscal periods or companies, inquire about the

types of accounting policies used. Different accounting methods can result in a wide variety of

reported figures.

y Determine whether ratios were calculated before or after adjustments were made

to the balance sheet or income statement, such as non-recurring items and inventory or

proforma adjustments. In many cases, these adjustments can significantly affect the

ratios.

y Carefully examine any departures from industry norms.


23/68

Page 23 of68

(1.4) Scope Of Project

Financial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of main indicators - ratios which are

derived from the information given in a company's financial statements(which must be from

similar points in time and preferably audited financial statements and developed in the same

manner). It involves methods of calculating and interpreting financial ratios in order to assess a

firm's performance and status. This analysis is primarily designed to meet informational needs of

investors, creditors and management. The objective of ratio analysis is the comparative

measurement of financial data to facilitate wise investment, credit and managerial decisions.

Some examples of analysis, according to the needs to be satisfied, are:

y Horizontal analysis - the analysis is based on a year-to-year comparison of a firm's

ratios,

y Vertical analysis - the comparison of balance sheet accounts either using ratios or not, to

get useful information and draw useful conclusions, and

y Cross-sectional analysis - ratios are used and compared between several firms of the

same industry in order to draw conclusions about an entity's profitability and financial

performance. Inter-firm analysis can be categorized under cross-sectional, as the analysis

is done by using some basic ratios of the industry in which the firm under analysis

belongs to (and specifically, the average of all the firms of the industry) as benchmarks

or the basis for our firm's overall performance evaluation.


24/68

Page 24 of68

(1.5) Limitations Of Ratios Analysis

y Ratios are not predictive, as they are usually based on historical information

notwithstanding ratios can be used as a tool to assist financial analysis.

y They help to focus attention systematically on important areas and summarise

information in an understandable form and assist in identifying trends and relationships

(see methods for facilitating the financial analysis above).

y However they do not reflect the future perspectives of a company, as they ignore future

action by management.

y

They can be easily manipulated byw

indow

dressing or creative accounting and may bedistorted by differences in accounting policies.

y Inflation should be taken into consideration when a Ratio Analysis is being applied as it

can distort comparisons and lead to inappropriate conclusions.

y Comparisons with industry averages is difficult for a conglomerate firm since it operates

in many different market segments.

y Seasonal factors may distort ratios and thus must be taken into account when making

ratios are used for financial analysis.

y Not always easy to tell that a ratio is good or bad. Must be always used as an additional

tool to back up or confirm other financial information gathered.

y Different operating and accounting practices can distort comparisons.

Using the average of certain ratios for companies operating in a specific industry to make

comparisons and draw conclusions may not necessarily be a indicator of good performance;

perhaps a company should aim higher.

Management of one's finances to attain a defined goal calls for a lot of discipline, many a

times self-imposed. Our Systematic Investment Plan is a tool, which can help you, inject this

discipline in your financial management efforts.

Our Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) provides you the facility to periodically invest a

fixed sum over any defined period of time (6 months or more) in a disciplined manner.

SIPs help in arresting uncertainties associated with trying to time the market and thus, in

the long term tends to iron out market fluctuations.

It also brings in the much needed investment discipline as you allocate a defined

sum to your investments for a defined frequency, thus making investments a mandatory

component while you allocate your resources.


33/68

Page 33 of68

It brings down your average cost of acquisition of units. As you would allocate a fixed

sum every month, you would buy more units when the prices of our units are lower than when

they are higher. We call this Rupee Cost Averaging.

Finally, through this arrangement, your funds otherwise lying idle (and if you know it, on

account of inflation, depleting in real value) in your bank account get channelised into futurewealth creating investments.

And of course, you stand to gain in terms of a more favourable entry load on your

systematic investments.

Want to receive a regular stream of payouts in a defined frequency ? Want to book profits

periodically ?

Our Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is designed keeping in mind these requirements

of yours. Through our SWP you can redeem defined sums at a pre-defined frequency by giving a

one-time instruction to us. You may choose to regularly withdraw either a fixed sum or just the

appreciation on your investments.

This facility caters to tw

o segments of investor needs :1) Investors wanting defined, regular funds inflow from their investments.

2) Investors interested in booking gains at a regular interval.

If you require an exact amount regularly then the Fixed Option is suitable for you. If you

do not want this withdrawal to disturb your capital contribution and would like only to reap the

appreciation generated in the investment, you should opt for the Appreciation option.Ideally

SWP should be opted from the growth options of our schemes.


34/68

Page 34 of68

Want a phased entry into the Equity markets rather than putting in all your money at one

tranch? Want to book profits from your equity holdings and want your profits to continue

earning for you ?

Try our Systematic Transfer Plan (STP). Our Systematic Transfer Plan (SWP) caters to

your above needs.

Through our STP you can choose to switch your investments from one Kotak Mutual

scheme to another at a predefined frequency by giving a one-time instruction to us. You also

have a choice between switching a fixed sum or only the appreciation on your investments.

This facility caters to two segments of investor needs :

1) Investors wanting to time their exposure in the equity markets over a period of time

instead of a point in time. Such investors can invest in our Debt Schemes and choose a periodic

transfer of investments into our equity schemes.

2) Investors who are already invested in equity wanting to book profits regularly and

allowing the profits to earn returns in any of our Debt schemes.

You can choose to transfer either a fixed sum every defined period or only the

appreciation on your investments over that period from one scheme to another. The later is

helpful, where you do not want the transfer to disturb your capital contribution.Ideally STP should be opted from the growth options of our schemes.

The Selling Process

Before you start selling Mutual funds you need to understand the scheme you are

selling. You should not only focus on the specific features of the scheme but focus also on the

specific financial goals of the prospect and show how the scheme enables him to get what hereally wants. You should keep yourself updated on the track record of the scheme as well as the

overall performance of the mutual fund.

Thus before recommending an investment you should know:

The strength of the Asset Management Company and sponsors of Mutual Fund.

The various choices/plans available and their advantages

The nature of the scheme

The potential of returns and the risk associated with it

Tax benefits

Operational Details


38/68

Page 38 of68

Knowing your client is a strategic step. Clients may vary. Their financial needs and

choice of investment differs depending on their age, earning capacity, family commitments and

ability to take risk. Some of the categories are given below

Young and Accumulating: These clients are typically under 40, seeking capital appreciation.

They arew

illing to take high risks for high returns.Middle aged with family commitments: Ideally between 40-60 and looking at stable investments

and lower risks

Retired: They are above 60 years seeking income to meet their regular expenses. Safety

of their principal is their prime concern Institutions and high net worth individuals: These

include corporates, banks, trusts and wealthy investors who seek an appropriate combination of

tax efficient growth and income depending upon their return expectation.

There are three types of prospects - Receptive, potential and independent minded. The

earlier you identify which of these you are talking to the more productive will be your selling

efforts.

Receptive: They are clients who will work in close association with you to develop a

financial plan. They have the discipline to invest regularly and believe in the merits of

professional financial advisors.

Potential: They are the people who have neither the discipline nor the patience to invest

but do have the desire to become a successful investor. Working closely with them could make

them Receptive clients.

Independent minded clients: These are clients who prefer investing directly and do not use

financial advisors. They can be cultivated over time.

(2.5) Quality Policy& Objectives

Before you recommend a financial plan you must understand the needs and priorities of

your client. You should help him see synergies between his financial goals and your financial

plan objectives. For this you need to understand your clients

Investment objectives

Risk tolerance

Return Expectation

Cash flow requirement

Tax benefits

Organization Plans

Help them choose their investments

After having understood your client's needs, priorities and financial goals you have to

advice him on where to invest. Your relationship depends a lot on the advice you give to your

client. You should be honest and straightforward. Be completely focused on helping your client

to make a good buying decision. Here are some of the alternatives that can be presented to your

client.

Encourage regular investment


40/68

Page 40 of68

You should ask your clients to start investing early and invest regularly. This will help

them to make more money because of the power of compounding of the rupee.

Commit them to invest

The best investment advice and investment plans are a waste unless they are backed by

the commitment of the client to invest. Be sure that the client gives you his commitment to

invest. Go a step further and be ready with all kinds of paperwork, application forms and other

documents required for the sale. Try and help him in anyway you can.

Provide personalized after- sales- service

The last and the most important part of the sales process is the augmented element. These

are the extra things that you include in your service that go beyond expectations.

It is in this area of exceeding expectations that you can set yourself apart from other distributors.

It is by doing the things that go beyond what the client anticipates that you build high

levels of goodwill that leads to testimonials, resales and referrals to other prospective clients.


41/68

Page 41 of68

Some of the personalized services that you can provide are as follows

Making periodic calls to see if your clients need any help with their investments.

Getting in touch with them when there is a lot of fluctuation in the market prices and advising

them accordingly.

Continuously assessing any change in their personal circumstances and recommending a

change in investment plan if need be.

Keeping your clients updated of the new schemes and products, which could be useful for them.

Since you represent the interest of both the investor and the mutual fund you must regularly

follow

upw

ith the mutual fund if your clients have experienced any service related problem. Atthe end of all remember the golden rule. Treat every client as a special and important person. Be

thoroughly prepared and knowledgeable. Be completely honest and straightforward. Focus on

helping them achieve their financial goals and see the results.

Gross Profit Margin Analysis:

The gross margin is not an exact estimate of the company's pricing strategy but it does

give a good indication of financial health. Without an adequate gross margin, a company will be

unable to pay its operating and other expenses and build for the future.

Remember:

Net Profit = Gross Profit - Expenses

Why do we have two versions of this ratio - one for net profit and the other for profit before

interest and taxation? Well, in some cases, you will find they use the term net profit and in other

cases, especially published accounts, they use profit before interest and taxation.

FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO

Fixed assets turnover ratio establishes a relationship between net sales and net fixed assets. This

ratio indicates howwell the fixed assets are being utilised.

Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio =

Net Sales/Net Fixed Assets

In case Net Sales are not given in the question cost of goods sold may also be used in

place of net sales. Net fixed assets are considered cost less depreciation.

This ratio expresses the number to times the fixed assets are being turned over in a stated period.

It measures the efficiencyw

ithw

hich fixed assets are employed. A high ratio means a high rateof efficiency of utilization of fixed asset and low ratio means improper use of the assets.

CURRENT RATIO

Current ratio is calculated in order to work out firms ability to pay off its short-term liabilities.

This ratio is also calledworking capital ratio. This ratio explains the relationship between current

assets and current liabilities of a business. Where current assets are those assets which are either

in the form of cash or easily convertible into cash within a year. Similarly, liabilities, which are

to be paid within an accounting year, are called current liabilities.

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

Current Assets include Cash in hand, Cash at Bank, Sundry Debtors, Bills Receivable, Stock of

Goods, Short-term Investments, Prepaid Expenses, Accrued Incomes etc.

Current Liabilities include Sundry Creditors, Bills Payable, Bank Overdraft, Outstanding

Expenses etc.

Objective and Significance: Current ratio shows the short-term financial position of the business.

This ratio measures the ability of the business to pay its current liabilities. The ideal current ratio

is suppose to be 2:1 i.e. current assets must be twice the current liabilities. In case, this ratio is

less than 2:1, the short-term financial position is not supposed to be very sound and in case, it is

more than 2:1, it indicates idleness of working capital.

DEBT-EQUITY RATIO

Debt equity ratio shows the relationship between long-term debts and shareholders funds. It is

also known as External-Internal equity ratio.

Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity

Where Debt (long term loans) include Debentures, Mortgage Loan, Bank Loan, Public

Deposits, Loan from financial institution etc.

Equity (Shareholders Funds) =

Share Capital (Equity + Preference) + Reserves and Surplus Fictitious Assets

This ratio is a measure of owners stock in the business. Proprietors are always keen to have

more funds from borrowings because:

(i) Their stake in the business is reduced and subsequently their risk too

(ii) Interest on loans or borrowings is a deductible expenditure while computing taxable

profits. Dividend on shares is not so allowed by Income Tax Authorities. The normally

acceptable debt-equity ratio is 2:1.

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO

A ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on outstanding debt.

The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and

taxes (EBIT) of one period by the company's interest expenses of the same period:

INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO = EBIT

INTEREST EXPENSES

The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense. When a

company's interest coverage ratio is 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest expenses may be

questionable. An interest coverage ratio below 1 indicates the company is not generating

sufficient revenues to satisfy interest expenses
