INTRODUCTION

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial
strengths and weaknesses of the firm and establishing relationship between the
items of the balance sheet and profit & loss account.
Financial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios,
which are derived from the information in a companys financial statements.
The level and historical trends of these ratios can be used to make inferences

about a companys financial condition, its operations and attractiveness as an

investment. The information in the statements is used by
Trade creditors, to identify the firms ability to meet their claims i.e.
liquidity position of the company.
Investors, to know about the present and future profitability of the
company and its financial structure.
Management, in every aspect of the financial analysis. It is the
responsibility of the management to maintain sound financial condition in
the company.
RATIO ANALYSIS
The term Ratio refers to the numerical and quantitative relationship between
two items or variables. This relationship can be exposed as

Percentages
Fractions
Proportion of numbers
Ratio analysis is defined as the systematic use of the ratio to
interpret the financial statements. So that the strengths and weaknesses of a
firm, as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be
determined. Ratio reflects a quantitative relationship helps to form a
quantitative judgment.

STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS

The first task of the financial analysis is to select the information relevant
to the decision under consideration from the statements and calculates
appropriate ratios.

 To compare the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm relating
to the pas6t or with the industry ratios. It facilitates in assessing success
or failure of the firm.
Third step is to interpretation, drawing of inferences and report writing
conclusions are drawn after comparison in the shape of report or
recommended courses of action.

BASIS OR STANDARDS OF COMPARISON

Ratios are relative figures reflecting the relation between variables.
They enable analyst to draw conclusions regarding financial operations. They
use of ratios as a tool of financial analysis involves the comparison with related
facts. This is the basis of ratio analysis. The basis of ratio analysis is of four
types.
Past ratios, calculated from past financial statements of the firm.
Competitors ratio, of the some most progressive and successful
competitor firm at the same point of time.
Industry ratio, the industry ratios to which the firm belongs to
Projected ratios, ratios of the future developed from the projected or pro
forma financial statements

NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis is a technique of analysis and interpretation of financial
statements. It is the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios for helping in
making certain decisions. It is only a means of understanding of financial strengths and
weaknesses of a firm. There are a number of ratios which can be calculated from the
information given in the financial statements, but the analyst has to select the appropriate data

and calculate only a few appropriate ratios. The following are the four steps involved in the
ratio analysis.

Selection of relevant data from the financial statements depending upon

the objective of the analysis.
Calculation of appropriate ratios from the above data.
Comparison of the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm in the
past, or the ratios developed from projected financial statements or the
ratios of some other firms or the comparison with ratios of the industry to
which the firm belongs.

INTERPRETATION OF THE RATIOS

The interpretation of ratios is an important factor. The inherent
limitations of ratio analysis should be kept in mind while interpreting them. The
impact of factors such as price level changes, change in accounting policies,
window dressing etc., should also be kept in mind when attempting to interpret
ratios. The interpretation of ratios can be made in the following ways.
Single absolute ratio
Group of ratios
Historical comparison
Projected ratios
Inter-firm comparison

GUIDELINES OR PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF RATIOS

The calculation of ratios may not be a difficult task but their use is
not easy. Following guidelines or factors may be kept in mind while interpreting
various ratios are
Accuracy of financial statements
Objective or purpose of analysis
Selection of ratios
Use of standards
Caliber of the analysis

IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Aid to measure general efficiency
Aid to measure financial solvency
Aid in forecasting and planning
Facilitate decision making
Aid in corrective action
Aid in intra-firm comparison
Act as a good communication
Evaluation of efficiency
Effective tool

LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Differences in definitions
Limitations of accounting records
8

 Lack of proper standards

No allowances for price level changes
Changes in accounting procedures
Quantitative factors are ignored
Limited use of single ratio
Background is over looked
Limited use
Personal bias
CLASSIFICATIONS OF RATIOS
The use of ratio analysis is not confined to financial manager only.
There are different parties interested in the ratio analysis for knowing the
financial position of a firm for different purposes. Various accounting ratios can
be classified as follows:
1. Traditional Classification
2. Functional Classification
3. Significance ratios

1. Traditional Classification
It includes the following.
Balance sheet (or) position statement ratio: They deal with the
relationship between two balance sheet items, e.g. the ratio of current
assets to current liabilities etc., both the items must, however, pertain to
the same balance sheet.

 Profit & loss account (or) revenue statement ratios: These ratios deal with
the relationship between two profit & loss account items, e.g. the ratio of
gross profit to sales etc.,
Composite (or) inter statement ratios: These ratios exhibit the relation
between a profit & loss account or income statement item and a balance
sheet items, e.g. stock turnover ratio, or the ratio of total assets to sales.
2. Functional Classification

These include liquidity ratios, long term solvency and leverage

ratios, activity ratios and profitability ratios.

3. Significance ratios
Some ratios are important than others and the firm may classify
them as primary and secondary ratios. The primary ratio is one, which is of the
prime importance to a concern. The other ratios that support the primary ratio
are called secondary ratios.

IN THE VIEW OF FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION THE RATIOS

ARE
1. Liquidity ratio
2. Leverage ratio
3. Activity ratio
4. Profitability ratio

1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current
obligations as & when there becomes due. The short term obligations of a firm
10

can be met only when there are sufficient liquid assets. The short term
obligations are met by realizing amounts from current, floating (or) circulating
assets The current assets should either be calculated liquid (or) near liquidity.
They should be convertible into cash for paying obligations of short term
nature. The sufficiency (or) insufficiency of current assets should be assessed by
comparing them with short-term current liabilities. If current assets can pay off
current liabilities, then liquidity position will be satisfactory.
To measure the liquidity of a firm the following ratios can be
calculated
Current ratio
Quick (or) Acid-test (or) Liquid ratio
Absolute liquid ratio (or) Cash position ratio

(a) CURRENT RATIO:

Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between
current assets and current liabilities. This ratio also known as Working capital
ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the
analysis of a short-term financial position (or) liquidity of a firm.
Current assets
Current ratio =
Current liabilities

Components of current ratio

CURRENT ASSETS
Cash in hand
Cash at bank
Bills receivable

CURRENT LIABILITIES
Out standing or accrued expenses
Bank over draft
Bills payable
11

Inventories
Work-in-progress
Marketable securities
Short-term investments
Sundry debtors
Prepaid expenses

Short-term advances
Sundry creditors
Dividend payable
Income-tax payable

(b) QUICK RATIO

Quick ratio is a test of liquidity than the current ratio. The term
liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short-term obligations as &
when they become due. Quick ratio may be defined as the relationship between
quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it is
converted into cash with in a short period without loss of value.

Quick or liquid assets

Quick ratio =
Current liabilities

Components of quick or liquid ratio

QUICK ASSETS
Cash in hand
Cash at bank
Bills receivable
Sundry debtors
Marketable securities
Temporary investments

CURRENT LIABILITIES
Out standing or accrued expenses
Bank over draft
Bills payable
Short-term advances
Sundry creditors
Dividend payable
Income tax payable

12

(c) ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO

Although receivable, debtors and bills receivable are generally
more liquid than inventories, yet there may be doubts regarding their realization
into cash immediately or in time. Hence, absolute liquid ratio should also be
calculated together with current ratio and quick ratio so as to exclude even
receivables from the current assets and find out the absolute liquid assets.

Absolute liquid assets

Absolute liquid ratio =
Current liabilities

Absolute liquid assets include cash in hand etc. The acceptable

forms for this ratio is 50% (or) 0.5:1 (or) 1:2 i.e., Rs.1 worth absolute liquid
assets are considered to pay Rs.2 worth current liabilities in time as all the
creditors are nor accepted to demand cash at the same time and then cash may
also be realized from debtors and inventories.

Components of Absolute Liquid Ratio

ABSOLUTE LIQUID ASSETS
Cash in hand
Cash at bank
Interest on Fixed Deposit

CURRENT LIABILITIES
Out standing or accrued expenses
Bank over draft
Bills payable
Short-term advances
Sundry creditors
Dividend payable
Income tax payable

2. LEVERAGE RATIOS
The leverage or solvency ratio refers to the ability of a concern to
meet its long term obligations. Accordingly, long term solvency ratios indicate
13

firms ability to meet the fixed interest and costs and repayment schedules
associated with its long term borrowings.
The following ratio serves the purpose of determining the solvency
of the concern.
Proprietory ratio
(a) PROPRIETORY RATIO
A variant to the debt-equity ratio is the proprietory ratio which is
also known as equity ratio. This ratio establishes relationship between share
holders funds to total assets of the firm.
Shareholders funds
Proprietory ratio =
Total assets

SHARE HOLDERS FUND

Share Capital
Reserves & Surplus

TOTAL ASSETS
Fixed Assets
Current Assets
Cash in hand & at bank
Bills receivable
Inventories
Marketable securities
Short-term investments
Sundry debtors
Prepaid Expenses

3. ACTIVITY RATIOS
Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and
earn profits. The efficiency with which assets are managed directly effect the
volume of sales. Activity ratios measure the efficiency (or) effectiveness with
which a firm manages its resources (or) assets. These ratios are also called

14

Turn over ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are
converted or turned over into sales.
Working capital turnover ratio
Fixed assets turnover ratio
Capital turnover ratio
Current assets to fixed assets ratio

(a) WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO

Working capital of a concern is directly related to sales.
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
It indicates the velocity of the utilization of net working capital.
This indicates the no. of times the working capital is turned over in the course of
a year. A higher ratio indicates efficient utilization of working capital and a
lower ratio indicates inefficient utilization.
Working capital turnover ratio=cost of goods sold/working capital.
Components of Working Capital
CURRENT ASSETS
Cash in hand
Cash at bank
Bills receivable
Inventories
Work-in-progress
Marketable securities
Short-term investments
Sundry debtors
Prepaid expenses

CURRENT LIABILITIES
Out standing or accrued expenses
Bank over draft
Bills payable
Short-term advances
Sundry creditors
Dividend payable
Income-tax payable

15

(b) FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO

It is also known as sales to fixed assets ratio. This ratio measures
the efficiency and profit earning capacity of the firm. Higher the ratio, greater is

the intensive utilization of fixed assets. Lower ratio means underutilization of fixed assets.
Cost of Sales
Fixed assets turnover ratio =
Net fixed assets

Cost of Sales = Income from Services

Net Fixed Assets = Fixed Assets - Depreciation
(c) CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIOS
Sometimes the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations are
judged by comparing the cost of sales or sales with amount of capital invested
in the business and not with assets held in the business, though in both cases the
same result is expected. Capital invested in the business may be classified as
long-term and short-term capital or as fixed capital and working capital or
Owned Capital and Loaned Capital. All Capital Turnovers are calculated to
study the uses of various types of capital.

Cost of goods sold

Capital turnover ratio =
Capital employed

16

Cost of Goods Sold = Income from Services

Capital Employed = Capital + Reserves & Surplus

(d) CURRENT ASSETS TO FIXED ASSETS RATIO

This ratio differs from industry to industry. The increase in the
ratio means that trading is slack or mechanization has been used. A decline in
the ratio means that debtors and stocks are increased too much or fixed assets
are more intensively used. If current assets increase with the corresponding
increase in profit, it will show that the business is expanding.
Current Assets
Current Assets to Fixed Assets Ratio =
Fixed Assets

Component of Current Assets to Fixed Assets Ratio

CURRENT ASSETS

4. PROFITABILITY RATIOS
The primary objectives of business undertaking are to earn profits.
Because profit is the engine, that drives the business enterprise.
17

 Net profit ratio

Return on total assets
Reserves and surplus to capital ratio
Earnings per share
Operating profit ratio
Price earning ratio
Return on investments

(a) NET PROFIT RATIO

Net profit ratio establishes a relationship between net profit (after
tax) and sales and indicates the efficiency of the management in manufacturing,
selling administrative and other activities of the firm.

Net profit after tax

Net profit ratio=
Net sales

Net Profit after Tax = Net Profit () Depreciation () Interest () Income Tax

Net Sales = Income from Services

It also indicates the firms capacity to face adverse economic
conditions such as price competitors, low demand etc. Obviously higher the
ratio, the better is the profitability.

(b) RETURN ON TOTAL ASSETS

18

Profitability can be measured in terms of relationship between net

profit and assets. This ratio is also known as profit-to-assets ratio. It measures
the profitability of investments. The overall profitability can be known.

Net profit
Return on assets =
Total assets

Net Profit = Earnings before Interest and Tax

Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets

(c) RESERVES AND SURPLUS TO CAPITAL RATIO

It reveals the policy pursued by the company with regard to growth
shares. A very high ratio indicates a conservative dividend policy and increased
ploughing back to profit. Higher the ratio better will be the position.

Reserves& surplus
Reserves & surplus to capital =
Capital

(d) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is a small verification of return of equity and is
calculated by dividing the net profits earned by the company and those profits
after taxes and preference dividend by total no. of equity shares.

19

Net profit after tax

Earnings per share =
Number of Equity shares

The Earnings per share is a good measure of profitability when

compared with EPS of similar other components (or) companies, it gives a view
of the comparative earnings of a firm.
(e) OPERATING PROFIT RATIO
Operating ratio establishes the relationship between cost of goods
sold and other operating expenses on the one hand and the sales on the other.
Operating cost
Operation ratio =
Net sales

However 75 to 85% may be considered to be a good ratio in case

of a manufacturing under taking.
Operating profit ratio is calculated by dividing operating profit by
sales.
Operating profit = Net sales - Operating cost
Operating profit
Operating profit ratio =
Sales

(f) PRICE - EARNING RATIO

Price earning ratio is the ratio between market price per equity
share and earnings per share. The ratio is calculated to make an estimate of
appreciation in the value of a share of a company and is widely used by
investors to decide whether (or) not to buy shares in a particular company.

20

Generally, higher the price-earning ratio, the better it is. If the price
earning ratio falls, the management should look into the causes that have
resulted into the fall of the ratio.

Market Price per Share

Price Earning Ratio =
Earnings per Share
Capital + Reserves & Surplus
Market Price per Share =
Number of Equity Shares

Earnings before Interest and Tax

Earnings per Share =
Number of Equity Shares

(g) RETURN ON INVESTMENTS

Return on share holders investment, popularly known as Return on
investments (or) return on share holders or proprietors funds is the relationship
between net profit (after interest and tax) and the proprietors funds.

Net profit (after interest and tax)

Return on shareholders investment =
Shareholders funds

Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current
assets and current liabilities. This ratio is also known as working
capital ratio, is measure of general liquidity and mostly used to
make the analysis of a short-term financial position or liquidity of
a firm. The rule of thumb for current Ratio is 2:1 which is
considered as strong financial position of the company.

Removal of over burden, and increase in current liability .

2)

QUICK / ACID TEST/ LIQUID RATIO :

Meaning:
Quick ratio is more rigorous test of liquidity than
current ratio. The term liquidity refers to the ability

the

to pay its

short term obligations as and when they become due. As a rule of

thumb quick ratio of 1:1 is considered satisfactory.
Quick Ratio = Quick/ liquid Assets

Interpretation:
In 2009 quick ratio was 0.07 which has increased to 0.14 in 2010.
Quick assets has increased by 133% and Current liabilities has
increased only by 9% Due to which quick ratio has increased by
100%. The management has taken a great effort in maintaining
high quick assets as compared to last year.

3) STOCK TURN OVER OR INVENTORY TURN OVER

RATIO :
Meaning :
Every firm has to maintain a certain amount of inventory of
finished goods so as to meet the requirement of business. But the
level of inventory should neither be too high nor too low. Because
it is harmful to hold more inventory as amount of capital is
blocked in it and some cost is involved in it.
Inventory turn over ratio measure the speed with which stock is
converted into sales. Usually high inventory ratio indicates an
efficient management of inventory because more frequently stocks
are sold ; the lesser amount of money is required to finance the
inventory. Where as low inventory turn over ratio indicates the
inefficient management of inventory. A low inventory turn over
implies over investment in inventories.
Inventory turn over ratio =

Cost of goods sold = Opening Stock+ Purchase + Direct
Expenses - Closing Stock
Average inventory = Opening stock + Closing stock

Times

Interpretation:
In 2009 inventory turn over ratio was 10.16 times which is
reduced to 9.08 times. Reduction of Inventory turn over ratio in
2010 may be due to increase in cost of goods sold with increase in

44

sales as compared to last year or due to non availability of opening

balance of inventory in the year 2009.

4) DEBTOR TURN OVER RATIO:

Meaning :
A concern may sell goods on cash as well as on credit. The volume
of sales can be increased by adopting liberal credit policy. But
liberal credit policy may result in tying up substantial funds of a
firm in form of trade debtors. Trade debtors are expected to be
converted into cash within short period and are included in current
assets.
Debtors velocity indicates the number of times the debtors are
turned over during a year. Higher the value of debtor turnover the
more efficient is the management of debtors/sales and vice versa.
Debtor turnover ratio = Net credit sales
Average debtors
Average debtors = Opening Debtor + closing Debtor

45

NOTES: Debtor in the year 2010 is -594.18 because of excess

advance received from customer therefore debtor is considered nil.

Interpretation:
Debtor turn over ratio in the year 2009 is extremely high i.e 564
times . The ratio is too high because the entire sale done by the
project is according to the agreement with customer. The debtor
shown on the closing day of financial year is not received by the
customer because customer has time to pay his liability in near
future. So the project is not worried about the Bad debts.

46

5) GROSS PROFIT RATIO:

Meaning :
The gross profit ratio indicates the extent to which selling prices of
goods per unit may decline without resulting in losses on
operations of a firm. It reflects the efficiency with which a firm
produces its products. Gross profit should be adequate to cover the
operating expenses and to provide for fixed charges, dividends and
accumulation of reserves.
Gross profit ratio = Gross profit

Interpretation:
In the year 2009 gross profit ratio was 59 % which is decreased to
58% in the year 2010. The project gross profit has increased with
increase in sales as compared to last year. The project gross profit
ratio has decreased by 1% due to increase in direct expenses. The
company has sound position to meet its non-operating expenses
and also enough capable to pay taxes and royalty to the
government.

48

6) OPERATING RATIO:
Meaning :
Operating ratio establishes the relationship between cost of goods
sold and other operating expenses on the one hand and sales on the
other hand. Operating ratio indicates the percentage of net sales
that is consumed by operating cost. Higher the operating ratio is
less favourable for the company because it would have small
margin to cover interest, income tax , dividend and reserve.
Operating ratio = Operating Cost*100

Interpretation:
In the year 2009 operating ratio was 45.05% which is reduced to
44.18% in the year 2010. Reduction in operating ratio will
contribute more to net profit . Reduction in operating ratio may be
possible due to reduction in cost per tones.

50

7) NET PROFIT RATIO:

Meaning:

Net profit ratio establishes a relationship between net profit after

tax and sales and indicate the efficiency of the management in
controlling the expenses of the company.
Net profit ratio = Net profit after tax *100

Interpretation:
The net profit of the company has been increased by 6.55% as
compared to last year. In 2009 project net profit was 54.16%
which increased to 60.71% in 2010. Net profit of the project has
been increased due to increase in sales/ production, reduction in
cost per tonnes, and better control on operating expenses. The net
profit of the project reveals sound business of the project and
strong financial position.

52

8) WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO:

Meaning:
Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the
utilization of net working capital. This ratio indicates the number
of times the working capital is turned over in the course of a year.
This ratio measures the efficiency with which the working capital
is being used by a firm. A higher ratio indicates efficient
utilization of working and low ratio indicates otherwise. But a
very high working capital turnover ratio is not a good situation for
any firm and must be taken while interpreting the ratio.
Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales

53

Interpretation: In the year 2009 ratio was 3.11 times which is

increased to 3.52 times in the year 2010. As compared to last
year working capital has been utilized very efficitently. In 2010,
the reciprocal of this ratio( 1/3.52=0.284) shows that for sales of
RS 1 company requires 28 paisa as working capital. This ratio is
very helpful to forecast the working capital requirement on the
basis of sales.

54

9) CREDITOR TURNOVER RATIO:

Meaning: In the course of business operations, a firm has
to make credit purchases and incur short-term liabilities. A
supplier of goods i.e, creditors is always interested to
know how much time the firm is likely to take in repaying
its trade creditors. 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. Higher creditor turnover ratio or lower credit
period enjoyed signifies that the creditors are being paid
promptly.
Creditors turnover ratio = Net Credit Purchases
Average creditors
Average creditors = opening creditors + closing creditors

overhead, power & fuel, repairs& contractual expenses.

55

Interpretation :
A high creditors turnover ratio indicates that creditors not paid
in time while a low ratio gives an idea that the business is not
taking full advantages of credit period allowed by the creditors.
Since creditors turnover ratio has decreased from 1.81 times to
1.69 times which represents that creditors are paid in time. Its a
good sign for the company.
