PREFACE

Ratio is a figure expressed in term of another. It is an expression of relationship between one figure and the other figures, which are mutually inter-dependent. Absolute figure is valuable but not comparable.

But these single become important when studied in relation to other figure either in the same statement like the amount of profit and total sales are different statement. But, when compared gives a sensible meaning such relationship of accounting information given in term of money is commonly referred to as financial/accounting ratio and simple ratio.

Ratio analysis is essentially concerned with the calculation of relationships which after proper identification and interpretation may provide information about the operations and state of affairs of a business enterprise. The analysis is used to provide indicators of past performance in terms of critical success factors of a business. This assistance in decision-making reduces reliance on guesswork and intuition and establishes a basis for sound judgment.

Ratio analysis is a process whereby elements of the financial statements are combined in simple mathematical equations to determine financial performance and stability of the company. Banking institutions and private investors can apply 150 or more of these simple equations to analyze financial statements, historic and projected, to determine financial performance, stability, and feasibility.

Financial analysis provides information concerning a firm's operating performance and financial condition. This information is useful for the CFO in evaluating the performance of the company as a whole, as well as of divisions, products, and subsidiaries. The CFO must also be aware that financial analysis is also used by analysts and investors to gauge the financial performance of the company.

In this study, we explain and illustrate financial ratios—one of the tools of financial analysis. In financial ratio analysis we select the relevant information—primarily the financial statement data—and evaluate it. We show how to incorporate market data and economic data in the analysis of financial ratios. Finally, we show how to interpret financial ratio analysis, identifying the pitfalls that occur when it's not done properly.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

MEANING OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

“A Research is a careful investigation or inquiry, especially through search for new facts in any

branch of knowledge. It is a systemized effort to gain more knowledge.”

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be

understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. We study the various

steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with

the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research

methods or techniques but also the methodology. Researcher always needs to understand the

assumptions underline various technique and they need to know the criteria by which they can

decide that certain technique and procedures will be applicable to certain problems and other

will not.

Research is an organized enquiry designed and carried out to provide information for solving a

problem.

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be

understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically.

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH

1. Research extends knowledge of human beings, social life and environment. Scientists and

researchers search answers for various types of questions: what, where, when, how and

why.

2. Research unravels the mysteries of nature, brings to light hidden information that might

never be discovered fully during the ordinary course of life.

3. Research verifies and tests existing facts and theory and these help improving our

knowledge and ability to handle situation and events.

15

Page 16: Sandeep Maheshwari

4. Research aims to analyze inter-relationships between variables and to derive causal

explanations and thus enables us to have a better understanding of the world in which we

live.

5. Research also aims at developing new tools, concepts and theories for a better study of

unknown phenomena.

DATA COLLECTION

The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined. While

deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the study, the researcher should

keep in mind two types of data vise, primary and secondary.

Primary data may be described as those data that have been observed and recorded by the

researchers for the first time to their knowledge.

Primary data can be classified into two types:

Data classified by their nature.

Data classified according to function.

Primary data can be collected through several methods. Some of the

important ones are:

1. Observation method

2. Interview method

3. Questionnaires

4. Schedules

5. Other methods

Secondary data are statistics not gathered for the immediate study at hand but for some other

purposes.

Secondary data can be classified into two types:

16

Page 17: Sandeep Maheshwari

Internal data which include sales analysis.

External data which include libraries, literature etc.

Chapter 3

WORKING:

OBJECTIVE:

To understand the information contained in financial statements with a view to know

the strength or weaknesses of the firm and to make forecast about the future prospects of

the firm and thereby enabling the financial analyst to take different decisions regarding

the operations of the firm.

RATIO ANALYSIS:

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 conjunction with 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.

MEANING OF RATIO:

A ratio is one figure express in terms of another figure. It is a mathematical yardstick

that measures the relationship two figures, which are related to each other and mutually

interdependent. Ratio is express by dividing one figure by the other related figure. Thus a

ratio is an expression relating one number to another. It is simply the quotient of two

numbers. It can be expressed as a fraction or as a decimal or as a pure

ratio or in absolute figures as “ so many times”. As accounting ratio is an expression

relating two figures or accounts or two sets of account heads or group contain in the financial

statements.

FINANCIAL DATA DEFINITIONS

18

Page 19: Sandeep Maheshwari

Income Statement

Revenue - Revenue equals total sales from operations.

include SG&A or depreciation.

Gross Profit - Gross Profit equals Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold. It identifies the amount

available to cover other operating expenses.

MEANING OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

Ratio analysis is the method or process by which the relationship of items or group of

items in the financial statement are computed, determined and presented.

Ratio analysis is an attempt to derive quantitative measure or guides concerning the

financial health and profitability of business enterprises. Ratio analysis can be used both in

trend and static analysis. There are several ratios at the disposal of an annalist but their

group of ratio he would prefer depends on the purpose and the objective of analysis.

While a detailed explanation of ratio analysis is beyond the scope of this section, we will

focus on a technique, which is easy to use. It can provide you with a valuable

investment analysis tool.

This technique is called cross-sectional analysis. Cross-sectional analysis compares

financial ratios of several companies from the same industry. Ratio analysis can provide

21

Page 22: Sandeep Maheshwari

valuable information about a company's financial health. A financial ratio measures a

company's performance in a specific area. For example, you could use a ratio of a

company's debt to its equity to measure a company's leverage. By comparing the leverage

ratios of two companies, you can determine which company uses greater debt in the

conduct of its business. A company whose leverage ratio is higher than a

competitor's has more debt per equity. You can use this information to make a judgment as

to which company is a better investment risk.

However, you must be careful not to place too much importance on one ratio. You

obtain a better indication of the direction in which a company is moving when several ratios

are taken as a group.

OBJECTIVE OF RATIOS

Ratio is work out to analyze the following aspects of business organization- A) Solvency-

1) Long term

2) Short term

3) Immediate

B) Stability

C) ProfitabilityD) Operational efficiencyE) Credit standingF) Structural analysisG) Effective utilization of resourcesH) Leverage or external financing

FORMS OF RATIO:

Since a ratio is a mathematical relationship between to or more variables/

accounting figures, such relationship can be expressed in different ways as follows

A] As a pure ratio:

For example the equity share capital of a company is Rs. 20,00,000 & the preference

share capital is Rs. 5,00,000, the ratio of equity share capital to preference share capital is

22

Page 23: Sandeep Maheshwari

20,00,000: 5,00,000 or simply 4:1.

B] As a rate of times:

In the above case the equity share capital may also be described as 4 times that of

preference share capital. Similarly, the cash sales of a firm are

Rs. 12,00,000 & credit sales are Rs. 30,00,000. sothe ratio of credit sales to cash sales can

be described as 2.5 [30,00,000/12,00,000] or simply by saying that the credit sales are 2.5

times that of cash sales.

C] As a percentage:

In such a case, one item may be expressed as a percentage of some other item. For

example, net sales of the firm are Rs.50,00,000 & the amount of the gross profit is Rs.

10,00,000, then the gross profit may be described as 20% of sales [

10,00,000/50,00,000]

LIQUID I TY R A T IO :

Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term (usually up to 1 year) obligations.

The ratios, which indicate the liquidity of a company, are Current ratio, Quick/Acid-Test ratio,

and Cash ratio. These ratios are discussed below

24

Page 25: Sandeep Maheshwari

CUR R ENT R A TIO

This ratio compares the current assets with the current liabilities. It is also known as

‘working capital ratio’ or ‘ solvency ratio’. It is expressed in the form of pure ratio.

E.g. 2:1

Formula:

The current assets of a firm represents those assets which can be, in the ordinary course

of business, converted into cash within a short period time, normally not exceeding one

year. The current liabilities defined as liabilities which are short term maturing obligations

to be met, as originally contemplated, with in a year.

Current ratio (CR) is the ratio of total current assets (CA) to total current liabilities (CL).

Current assets include cash and bank balances; inventory of raw materials, semi- 25

Current ratio = Current Asset

Current Liabilities

Page 26: Sandeep Maheshwari

finished and finished goods; marketable securities; debtors (net of provision for bad and

doubtful debts); bills receivable; and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities consist of

trade creditors, bills payable, bank credit, provision for taxation, dividends payable and

outstanding expenses. This ratio measures the liquidity of the current assets and the

ability of a company to meet its short-term debt obligation.

CR measures the ability of the company to meet its CL, i.e., CA gets converted into

cash in the operating cycle of the firm and provides the funds needed to pay for CL. The

higher the current ratio, the greater the short-term solvency. This compares assets,

which will become liquid within approximately twelve months with liabilities, which will be

due for payment in the same period and is intended to indicate whether there are

sufficient short-term assets to meet the short- term liabilities. Recommended current

ratio is 2: 1. Any ratio below indicates that the entity may face liquidity problem but also

Ratio over 2: 1 as above indicates over trading, that is the entity is under utilizing its

current assets.

LIQUID R A TIO:

Liquid ratio is also known as acid test ratio or quick ratio. Liquid ratio compare the quick

assets with the quick liabilities. It is expressed in the form of pure ratio. E.g. 1:1.

The term quick assets refer to current assets, which can be converted into, cash

immediately or at a short notice without diminution of value.

Formula:

Quick Ratio (QR) is the ratio between quick current assets (QA) and CL. QA refers to those

current assets that can be converted into cash immediately without any value strength. QA

includes cash and bank balances, short-term marketable securities, and sundry debtors.

Inventory and prepaid expenses are excluded since these cannot be turned into cash as and

when required.26

Quick ratio = Liquid AssetCurrent Liabilities

Page 27: Sandeep Maheshwari

QR indicates the extent to which a company can pay its current liabilities without relying on

the sale of inventory. This is a fairly stringent measure of liquidity because it is based on

those current assets, which are highly liquid. Inventories are excluded from the numerator of

this ratio because they are deemed the least liquid component of current assets. Generally,

a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered good. One drawback of the quick ratio is that it ignores the

timing of receipts and payments.

IN V ESTMENT/S H A R EHOLDER

E A R N I NG PER S A H R E:-

Earnings per Share are calculated to find out overall profitability of the organization. An

earnings per Share represents earning of the company whether or not dividends are

declared. If there is only one class of shares, the earning per share are determined by

dividing net profit by the number of equity shares.

EPS measures the profits available to the equity shareholders on each share held.

27

Page 28: Sandeep Maheshwari

Formula:

The higher EPS will attract more investors to acquire shares in the company as it indicates

that the business is more profitable enough to pay the dividends in time. But remember not all

profit earned is going to be distributed as dividends the company also retains some profits for

the business

DIVI D END P ER S H A R E:-

DPS shows how much is paid as dividend to the shareholders on each share held.

Formula:

G E A R ING

28

EPS = NPAT

No. of equity share

DPS = No. of Share

Dividend Paid to Ordinary shareholders

Page 29: Sandeep Maheshwari

C A P I T A L E A R ING R A TIO:-

Gearing means the process of increasing the equity shareholders return through the use

of debt. Equity shareholders earn more when the rate of the return on total capital is more

than the rate of interest on debts. This is also known as leverage or trading on equity. The

Capital-gearing ratio shows the relationship between two types of capital viz:

equity capital & preference capital & long term borrowings. It is expressed as a pure

ratio.

Formula:

Capital gearing ratio indicates the proportion of debt & equity in the financing of assets of a

concern

29

Capital gearing Ratio =

Preference capital+ secured loan

Equity capital & reserve & surplus

Page 30: Sandeep Maheshwari

PROFI T A B IL I TY

These ratios help measure the profitability of a firm. A firm, which generates a

substantial amount of profits per rupee of sales, can comfortably meet its operating

expenses and provide more returns to its shareholders. The relationship between profit

and sales is measured by profitability ratios. There are two types of profitability ratios:

Gross Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin.

GROSS PROFIT R A T I O:-

This ratio measures the relationship between gross profit and sales. It is defined as the

excess of the net sales over cost of goods sold or excess of revenue over cost. This

ratio shows the profit that remains after the manufacturing costs have been met. It

measures the efficiency of production as well as pricing. This ratio helps to judge how

efficient the concern is I managing its production, purchase, selling & inventory, how

good its control is over the direct cost, how productive the concern , how much amount

NET P R O F I T R A T I O:-

Net Profit ratio indicates the relationship between the net profit & the sales it is usually

expressed in the form of a percentage.

Formula:

This ratio shows the net earnings (to be distributed to both equity and preference

shareholders) as a percentage of net sales. It measures the overall efficiency of production,

administration, selling, financing, pricing and tax management. Jointly considered, the gross

and net profit margin ratios provide an understanding of the cost and profit structure of a firm.

RETU R N ON C A P I T A L E M PL O YE D :-

The profitability of the firm can also be analyzed from the point of view of the total funds

employed in the firm. The term fund employed or the capital employed refers to the total

long-term source of funds. It means that the capital employed comprises of shareholder

funds plus long-term debts. Alternatively it can also be defined as fixed assets plus net

working capital.

Capital employed refers to the long-term funds invested by the creditors and the owners of a

firm. It is the sum of long-term liabilities and owner's equity. ROCE indicates the efficiency

with which the long-term funds of a firm are utilized.

These ratios determine how quickly certain current assets can be converted into cash. They

are also called efficiency ratios or asset utilization ratios as they measure the efficiency of a

firm in managing assets. These ratios are based on the relationship between the level of

activity represented by sales or cost of goods sold and levels of investment in various

assets. The important turnover ratios are debtors turnover ratio, average collection period,

inventory/stock turnover ratio, fixed assets turnover ratio, and total assets turnover ratio.

These are described below:

Page 33: Sandeep Maheshwari

DEB T ORS T URNOVER R A T IO ( D T O )

DTO is calculated by dividing the net credit sales by average debtors outstanding during the

year. It measures the liquidity of a firm's debts. Net credit sales are the gross credit sales

minus returns, if any, from customers. Average debtors are the average of debtors at the

beginning and at the end of the year. This ratio shows how rapidly debts are collected. The

higher the DTO, the better it is for the organization.

Formula:

INVEN T O R Y OR S T OCK TURNOVER R A T I O ( I TR)

ITR refers to the number of times the inventory is sold and replaced during the

accounting period.

Formula:

ITR reflects the efficiency of

inventory management. The higher the ratio, the more efficient is the management of

inventories, and vice versa. However, a high inventory turnover may also result from a low

level of inventory, which may lead to frequent stock outs and loss of sales and customer

goodwill. For calculating ITR, the average of inventories at the beginning and the end of the

year is taken. In general, averages may be used when a flow figure (in this case, cost of goods

sold) is related to a stock figure (inventories).

Debtors Turnover ratio = Average Debtors Credit Sales

Stock Turnover Ratio = COGS

Page 34: Sandeep Maheshwari

FIXED A S S E T S TURNOVER ( F A T )

The FAT ratio measures the net sales per rupee of investment in fixed assets.

Formula:

This ratio measures the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed. A high ratio

indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization while a low ratio reflects an inefficient

use of assets. However, this ratio should be used with caution because when the fixed

assets of a firm are old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets turnover ratio tends to

be high (because the denominator of the ratio is very low).

PROPRI E T ORS R A T IO:

Proprietary ratio is a test of financial & credit strength of the business. It relates shareholders

fund to total assets. This ratio determines the long term or ultimate solvency of the company.

In other words, Proprietary ratio determines as to what extent the owner’s interest &

expectations are fulfilled from the total investment made in the business operation.

Proprietary ratio compares the proprietor fund with total liabilities. It is usually expressed

in the form of percentage. Total assets also know it as net worth.

Formula:

Proprietors Ratio = FA+CL

Page 35: Sandeep Maheshwari

DEBT EQU I T Y R A T I O:

This ratio compares the long-term debts with shareholders fund. The relationship between

borrowed funds & owners capital is a popular measure of the long term financial

solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown by debt equity ratio. Alternatively, this ratio

indicates the relative proportion of debt & equity in financing the assets of the

firm. It is usually expressed as a pure ratio. E.g. 2:1

Formula:

Debt equity ratio is also called as leverage ratio. Leverage means the process of the

increasing the equity shareholders return through the use of debt. Leverage is also

known as ‘gearing’ or ‘trading on equity’. Debt equity ratio shows the margin of safety for

long-term creditors & the balance between debt & equity.

CR E D I T ORS T URNOVER R A T IO:

It is same as debtors turnover ratio. It shows the speed at which payments are made to

the supplier for purchase made from them. It is a relation between net credit purchase

and average creditors

Both the ratios indicate promptness in payment of creditor purchases. Higher creditors

turnover ratio or a lower credit period enjoyed signifies that the creditors are being paid

promptly. It enhances credit worthiness of the company. A very low ratio indicates that

the company is not taking full benefit of the credit period allowed by the creditors.

ROLE OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

It is true that the technique of ratio analysis is not a creative technique in the sense

that it uses the same figure & information, which is already appearing in the financial

statement. At the same time, it is true that what can be achieved by the technique of

ratio analysis cannot be achieved by the mere preparation of financial statement.

Ratio analysis helps to appraise the firm in terms of their profitability & efficiency

of performance, either individually or in relation to those of other firms in the same

industry. The process of this appraisal is not complete until the ratio so computed can

be compared with something, as the ratio all by them do not mean anything. This

comparison may be in the form of intra firm comparison, inter firm comparison or

comparison with standard ratios. Thus proper comparison of ratios may reveal where a

firm is placed as compared with earlier period or in comparison with the other firms in

the same industry.

Ratio analysis is one of the best possible techniques available to the

management to impart the basic functions like planning & control. As the future is

closely related to the immediate past, ratio calculated on the basis of historical financial

statements may be of good assistance to predict the future. Ratio analysis also helps to

locate & point out the various areas, which need the management attention in order to

improve the situation.

As the ratio analysis is concerned with all the aspect of a firms financial analysis

i.e. liquidity, solvency, activity, profitability & overall performance, it enables the

interested persons to know the financial & operational characteristics of an organization

& take the suitable decision.

1. CURRENT RATIO

The relationship of current assets to current liabilities is known as current ratio. Current

assets means the assets are either in the form of cash or cash equivalent or can be

converted into cash or cash equivalents in short time (say, within a year’s time) and current

liabilities means liabilities repayable in short time (within a year’s time). The ratios are

calculated as follows:

Current assets include cash & bank balances, inventories, sundry debtors, Marketable

securities, prepaid expenses and loans & advances.

Current liabilities include sundry creditors, bills payable and provision.

Significance

Current ratio of a firm measures its short term solvency i.e. its ability to meet its short term

obligation, the higher the current ratio, the larger is the amount of rupees available per rupee of

current liability, the more is the firm’s ability to meet the current obligations and the greater is

the safety of the funds of the short term creditors.

Although there is no hard and fast tool conventionally the current ratio of 2:1 is considered

satisfactory.

Interpretation:

In the year 2007 it decrease & reaches 2.64 & it is increase in 2008 by 3.41. The

current ratio of 2007 is lower than 2008 .This due to company short term liability. This are the

liability which company has to renew after every year, if company doesn’t renew then company

has to repay this liability, so these are included in current liabilities.

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

company has a C.R in 20076-2008 is 3.41:1; therefore it may be interpreted to sufficient liquid

i.e. able to meet its obligation (i.e. liability)

The higher C.R the greater margin of safety the low C.R lows margin of safety.

2. QUICK RATIO

Quick ratio also called acid test ratio, establishes a relationship between quick or liquid

assets and current liabilities. An assets is liquid it can be converted into cash immediately

or reasonably soon without a loss of value. Cash is the most liquid assets.

The quick ratio is found out by dividing quick assets by current liability

The ratios are calculated as follows:

Liquid assets includes cash, debtors, marketable securities, bills receivable, (excluding

bad & doubtful debts)

Significance

Acid test ratio is a stringent measure of short-term solvency of the firm. It is a measurement

of the firm’s ability to convert its current assets quickly into cash in order to meet its current

liability. It is based on those current assets which are highly liquid I illiquid portion of current

assets are eliminated. It excludes stock & prepaid expenses.

Acid test ratio of 1:1 is considered ideal. Higher the ratio better is the short-term financial

position of the firm.

Interpretation

The quick ratio in 2007 was 1.815 and in 2008 it is 2.424. This shows that quick ratio has

increase from 1.815 to 2.424, therefore the company’s short term financial position is good.

3. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover indicates the efficiency of the firm in producing and selling its products. It

calculates by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory.

Cost of goods sold is calculated as follows:

Cost of good sold = Opening stock + Purchase + Direct expenses - Closing stock

Or

Cost of good sold = Sales- Gross profit

Average inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2

The cost of goods sold figure may not be available to an outside analyst from the published

annual accounts. He/she may therefore compute inventory turnover as sales divided by the

average inventory or the year-end inventory.

Significance

The inventory turnover ratio measures how fast the stock is moving through the firm and

generating sales It indicates whether stock has been efficiently used or not. The purpose of the

ratio is to check up whether only the required minimum amount has been invested in stock.

Higher the ratio, better it is, since it indicates that more sales are been produced by a

rupee of investment in stocks. A low stock turnover may reflect dull business and cover

investment in stock. Thus only a proper inventory ratio enables a business to earn a reasonable

margin of profits.

However, a minimum amount of stock must be invested in stock to avoid out of stock

situation

Interpretation

The inventory turnover ratio of the company under study for the year 2007-08

reveals that thought the two-year is low

In the year 2007-08 the ratio of inventory turnover is 3.11 that show the company has

bad inventory management.

42

Page 43: Sandeep Maheshwari

4. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO

This ratio establishes relationship between net credit sales and average debtors of the year.

Debtor’s turnover indicates the number of times debtor’s turnover each year. This ratio is

calculated as follows:

A net sale has been taken in place of net credit sales.

Average debtors are calculated by dividing the sum of debtors in the beginning and at

the end by

to out side analyst, information about credit sales and opening and closing balance of debtor

may not available. Therefore, debtor turnover can be calculated by dividing total sales by

the year-end balance of debtor.

Significance

The debtor’s turnover ratio indicates economy and efficiency in the collection of

amount due from debtors. The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it would indicate that debts

are being collected more quickly. Prompt collection of books debts will increase funds, which

may then be put for some other use.

It is not however, very prudent for a firm to have either a very low are a high debtor’s

turnover ratio. A very low debtor’s turnover would imply either poor credit selection or an

inadequate collection effort. The delay in the collection of debtors would mean that, apart from

the interest cost involved in maintaining a higher level of debtors, the liquidity position o f the

firm is adversely affected. Moreover, there is the like hood of a large number of debtors

becoming bad debts.

Similarly, too high a turnover ratio is not necessarily good. It may have adverse effect

on the volume of the sales of the firm. Sales may be confined to only such customers as make

prompt payments

Thus a firm should have neither a very low nor a high debtor’s turnover ratio, it should

maintain it at a reasonable level.

44

Page 45: Sandeep Maheshwari

Interpretation

Sales and debtors had been increased every year. In the year 2006-2007 the ratio is

11.54 & again it increased in the 2007-08 12.57.

In the year 2007-2008 the ratio 12.57 reveals that the company current debtors’

turnover is good as compared to previous year.

5. NET WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO

This ratio indicates the number of times a unit invested in the working capital produces

sales. In others words, the ratio indicates whether the working capital has been effectively

utilized or not in making sales. The ratio is calculated as follows:

Working capital means the excess of current assets over current liabilities i.e., current

assets- current liabilities.

utilized or not in making sales. In other words, it measures the rate of working capital utilization.

Higher the ratio, the better it is however, a very high ratio may indicates over

trading, the working capital means very little for the scale of operations.

Interpretation

Net working capital turnover ratio has increased to -25.05 in 2008 from -31.43 in 2007. this

indicate that the working capital has been utilized properly by the company in comparison to the

previous year.

Interpretation

In the year 2007 total assets turnover ratio was 0.72 which has declined to 0.61 in the year

2008. This shows the inefficient utilization of the fixed assets of the company.

7. FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO

The fixed assets turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which the firm has been using its

fixed assets to generate sales.

It is calculated by dividing the firm’s sales by its net fixed assets as follows:

8. NET PROFIT RATIO

A ratio of net profit to sales is called net profit ratio. Generally, this ratio is taken in percentage.

Deducting operating expenses, finance charges and making adjustment for non- operating

expenses and income from gross profit, derive net profit. The ratio can be calculated by the

formula:

Year Net Sales Net Profit Ratio

2006-2007 180576.98 25643.25 14.20%

The net profit margin is indicative of management’s ability to operate the business with

sufficient success not only to recover from revenue of period the cost of merchandise or

service, the expenses of operating the business (including depreciation) and the cost of

borrowed funds, but also to eave a margin of reasonable compensation to the owner for

providing their capital at risk.

The objective of working capital net profit ratio is to determine the overall efficiency of the

business the higher the ratio, better it is.

Interpretation

The net profit in the year 2007 was 14.20% which have increased to 15.13%. This shows the

company is efficiently operating its business.

PROBLEMS

As the comparative statement shows that the Current Ratio and Quick Ratio has declined

from previous year .This shows the bad liquidity position of the company or the company is not

able to meet its short term obligations.

Inventory Turnover Ratio and Fixed Assets Turnover ratio

has also declined but these shows the inefficient utilization of the inventory and assets.

Total Assets Turnover Ratio has decreased from the year

2007. This indicate that the is able to generate its sales efficiently.

Net Working Turnover Ratio has decreased so it reveals

that the company has utilized its working capital in a insufficient manner.

The Debtor’s Turnover Ratio has increased which indicates that

the company is able in the collecting the amount due from the debtors. Since it indicate that

debts are being collected more quickly.

The Net Profit Ratio has decreased from previous

which show that company is operating not successfully. It cannot recover its expenditures.

At last it can be said that the besides having bad liquidity position the

company is earning less profit than previous and is running successfully.

53

Page 54: Sandeep Maheshwari

SUGGESTION

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO is decline it proves the poor sales

performance. Strategic marketing policies and efficient store function may improve this

ratio.

Net Profit Ratio is decrease. By increasing sales promotion programs and

reducing the manufacturing and operating cost as well as financial cost may improve this

ratio.

Sales are increase in 2008 but Net Working Capital Ratio decrease

because current assets are decline and current liabilities are increase, by increase in

current assets and decrease in current liabilities may be improve this ratio.

Decline in the Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio may be improved by the effective

and efficient use of the fixed assets.
