ABOUTRATIOANALYSIS
The ratio analysis is the most powerful tool of financial analysis. Several ratios calculated
from the accounting data can be grouped into various classes according to financial activity or
function to be evaluated.
DEFINITION:
The extent to which the firm has used its long-term solvency by borrowing funds.
The efficiency with which the firm is utilizing its assets in generating the sales revenue.
investors and others to form judgment about the operating performance and financial
position of firm. Uses of financial statement can get further insight about financial strength
and weakness of the firm if they properly analyze information reported in these statements.
Management should be particularly interested in knowing financial strength of the firm to
make their best use and to be able to spot out financial weaknesses of the firm to take
suitable corrective actions. The further plans firm should be laid down in new of the firms
financial strength and weaknesses. Thus financial analysis is the starting point for making
plans before using any sophisticated forecasting and planning procedures. Understanding the
past is a prerequisite for anticipating the future.

A financial analyst can adopt the following tools for analysis of the financial statements. These are
also termed as methods of financial analysis.
A. Comparative statement analysis
B. Common-size statement analysis
C. Trend analysis
D. Funds flow analysis
E. Ratio analysis
NATUREOFRATIOANALYSIS
Ratio Analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as "the indicated quotient
of mathematical expression" and as "the relationship between two or more things". A ratio is used as
benchmark for evaluating the financial position and performance of the firm. The relationship between
two accounting figures, expressed mathematically, is known as a financial ratio. Ratio helps to
summarizes large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative judgment about the firm's financial
performance.
The persons interested in the analysis of financial statements can be grouped under three head
owners (or) investors who are desired primarily a basis for estimating earning capacity. Creditors who are
concerned primarily with Liquidity and ability to pay interest and redeem loan within a specified period.
Management is interested in evolving analytical tools that will measure costs, efficiency, liquidity and
profitability with a view to make intelligent decisions.
STANDARDSOFCOMPARISON
The ratio analysis involves comparison for an useful interpretation of the financial statements. A
single ratio in itself does not indicate favorable or unfavorable condition. It should be compared with
some standard. Standards of comparison are:
1. Past Ratios
2. Competitor's Ratios
3. Industry Ratios
4. Projected Ratios
Page15
PastRatios:Ratios calculated from the past financial statements of the same firm.
Competitor'sRatios: Ratios of some selected firms, especially the most progressive and successful
competitor at the same point in time.
TIMESERIESANALYSIS
The easiest way to evaluate the performance of a firm is to compare its present ratios with past
ratios. When financial ratios over a period of time are compared, it is known as the time series analysis or
trend analysis. It gives an indication of the direction of change and reflects whether the firm's financial
performance has improved, deteriorated or remind constant over time.
CROSSSECTIONALANALYSIS
Another way to comparison is to compare ratios of one firm with some selected firms in the
industry at the same point in time. This kind of comparison is known as the cross-sectional analysis. It is
more useful to compare the firm's ratios with ratios of a few carefully selected competitors, who have
similar operations.
INDUSTRYANALYSIS
To determine the financial conditions and performance of a firm. Its ratio may be compared with
average ratios of the industry of which the firm is a member. This type of analysis is known as industry
analysis and also it helps to ascertain the financial standing and capability of the firm & other firms in the
industry. Industry ratios are important standards in view of the fact that each industry has its
characteristics which influence the financial and operating relationships.
TYPESOFRATIOS
Management is interested in evaluating every aspect of firm's performance. In view of the requirement of
the various users of ratios, we may classify them into following four important categories:
1. Liquidity Ratio
2. Leverage Ratio
3. Activity Ratio
4. Profitability Ratio
Page16
3.1LiquidityRatio
It is essential for a firm to be able to meet its obligations as they become due. Liquidity Ratios
help in establishing a relationship between cast and other current assets to current obligations to 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. A very high degree of liquidity is also bad, idle assets earn nothing. The
firm's funds will be unnecessarily tied up in current assets. Therefore it is necessary to strike a proper
balance between high liquidity. Liquidity ratios can be divided into three types:
3.1.1 Current Ratio
3.1.2 Quick Ratio
3.1.3 Cash Ratio
3.1.1CurrentRatio
Current ratio is an acceptable measure of firms short-term solvency Current assets includes cash
within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors and inventors. Prepaid expenses are also included in
current assets as they represent the payments that will not made by the firm in future. All obligations
maturing within a year are included in current liabilities. These include creditors, bills payable, accrued
expenses, short-term bank loan, income-tax liability in the current year.
The current ratio is a measure of the firm's short term solvency. It indicated the availability of
current assets in rupees for every one rupee of current liability. A current ratio of 2:1 is considered
satisfactory. The higher the current ratio, the greater the margin of safety; the larger the amount of current
assets in relation to current liabilities, the more the firm's ability to meet its obligations. It is a cured -and
-quick measure of the firm's liquidity.
Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets and current liabilities.
Current Ratio =
Current Assets
________________
Current Liabilities
3.1.2QuickRatio
Quick Ratio establishes a relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. An
asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately or reasonably soon without a loss of value.
Cash is the most liquid asset, other assets that are considered to be relatively liquid asset and included in
quick assets are debtors and bills receivables and marketable securities (temporary quoted investments).
Page17
Inventories are converted to be liquid. Inventories normally require some time for realizing into
cash; their value also has a tendency to fluctuate. The quick ratio is found out by dividing quick assets by
current liabilities.
Quick Ratio =
Generally, a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial condition.
Quick ratio is a more penetrating test of liquidity than the current ratio, yet it should be used cautiously. A
company with a high value of quick ratio can suffer from the shortage of funds if it has slow- paying,
doubtful and long duration outstanding debtors. A low quick ratio may really be prospering and paying its
current obligation in time.
3.1.3CashRatio
Cash is the most liquid asset; a financial analyst may examine Cash Ratio and its equivalent
current liabilities. Cash and Bank balances and short-term marketable securities are the most liquid assets
of a firm, financial analyst stays look at cash ratio. Trade investment is marketable securities of equivalent
of cash. If the company carries a small amount of cash, there is nothing to be worried about the lack of
cash if the company has reserves borrowing power. Cash Ratio is perhaps the most stringent Measure of
liquidity. Indeed, one can argue that it is overly stringent. Lack of immediate cash may not matter if the
firm stretch its payments or borrow money at short notice.
3.2LEVERAGERATIOS
Financial leverage refers to the use of debt finance while debt capital is a cheaper source of
finance: it is also a riskier source of finance. It helps in assessing the risk arising from the use of debt
capital. Two types of ratios are commonly used to analyze financial leverage.
1. Structural Ratios &
2. Coverage ratios.
Page18
Structural Ratios are based on the proportions of debt and equity in the financial structure of firm.
Coverage Ratios shows the relationship between Debt Servicing, Commitments and the sources
for meeting these burdens.
The short-term creditors like bankers and suppliers of raw material are more concerned with the
firm's current debt-paying ability. On the other hand, long-term creditors like debenture holders, financial
institutions are more concerned with the firm's long-term financial strength. To judge the long-term
financial position of firm, financial leverage ratios are calculated. These ratios indicated mix of funds
provided by owners and lenders.
There should be an appropriate mix of Debt and owner's equity in financing the firm's assets. The
process of magnifying the shareholder's return through the use of Debt is called "financial leverage" or
"financial gearing" or "trading on equity". Leverage Ratios are calculated to measure the financial risk
and the firm's ability of using Debt to share holder's advantage.
3.2.1Debtequityratio
It indicates the relationship describing the lenders contribution for each rupee of the owner's
contribution is called debt-equity ratio. Debt equity ratio is directly computed by dividing total debt by
net worth. Lower the debt-equity ratio, higher the degree of protection. A debt-equity ratio of 2:1 is
considered ideal. The debt consists of all short term as well as long-term and equity consists of net worth
plus preference capital plus Deferred Tax Liability.
Page19
3.2.2Debtratio
Several debt ratios may used to analyze the long-term solvency of a firm. The firm may be
interested in knowing the proportion of the interest-bearing debt in the capital structure. It may, therefore,
compute debt ratio by dividing total total debt by capital employed on net assets. Total debt will include
short and long-term borrowings from financial institutions, debentures/bonds, deferred payment
arrangements for buying equipments, bank borrowings, public deposits and any other interest-bearing
loan. Capital employed will include total debt net worth.
Debt
Debt Ratio = ---------Equity
3.2.3InterestCoverageRatio
The interest coverage ratio or the time interest earned is used to test the firms debt servicing
capacity. The interest coverage ratio is computed by dividing earnings before interest and taxes by interest
charges. The interest coverage ratio shows the number of times the interest charges are covered by funds
that are ordinarily available for their payment. We can calculate the interest average ratio as earnings
before depreciation, interest and taxes divided by interest.
EBIT
Interest Coverage ratio = --------------Interest
3.2.4Proprietaryratio
The total shareholder's fund is compared with the total tangible assets of the company. This ratio
indicates the general financial strength of concern. It is a test of the soundness of financial structure of the
concern. The ratio is of great significance to creditors since it enables them to find out the proportion of
share holders funds in the total investment of business.
Net worth
Page20
3.2.5Capitalgearingratio:
This ratio makes an analysis of capital structure of firm. The ratio shows relationship between
equity share capital and the fixed cost bearing i.e., preference share capital and debentures.
Equity capital
Capital gearing ratio = ----------------------------------------------P.S capital +Debentures +Loans
3.3ACTIVITYRATIOS
Turnover ratios also referred to as activity ratios or asset management ratios, measure how
efficiently the assets are employed by a firm. These ratios are based on the relationship between the level
of activity, represented by sales or cost of goods sold and levels of various assets. The improvement
turnover ratios are inventory turnover, average collection period, receivable turn over, fixed assets
turnover and total assets turnover.
Activity ratios are employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm manages and utilize its assets.
These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being
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 asset utilization.
Activityratiosaredividedintofourtypes:
3.3.1 Total capital turnover ratio
3.3.2 Working capital turnover ratio
3.3.3 Fixed assets turnover ratio
3.3.4 Stock turnover ratio
Sales
Total assets turnover = ---------------------------Capital employed.
Page21
3.3.2 Working capital turnover ratio: This ratio measures the relationship between working
capital and sales. The ratio shows the number of times the working capital results in sales. Working
capital as usual is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. The following formula is used to
measure the ratio:
Sales
Working capital turnover ratio = ------------------------------Working capital
3.3.3Fixedassetturnoverratio: The firm may which to know its efficiency of utilizing fixed
assets and current assets separately. The use of depreciated value of fixed assets in computing the fixed
assets turnover may render comparison of firm's performance over period or with other firms.
The ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets employed a high ratio
indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization and a low ratio reflects inefficient use of assets.
However, in interpreting this ratio, one caution should be borne in mind, when the fixed assets of firm are
old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets turnover ratio tends to be high because the denominator
of ratio is very low
Net sales
3.3.4Stockturnoverratio
Stock turnover ratio indicates the efficiency of firm in producing and selling its product. It is
calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average stock. It measures how fast the inventory is
moving through the firm and generating sales.
The stock turnover ratio reflects the efficiency of inventory management. The higher the ratio,
the more efficient the management of inventories and vice versa .However, this may not always be true.
A high inventory turnover may be caused by a low level of inventory which may result if frequent stock
outs and loss of sales and customer goodwill.
Average stock
Page22
3.4PROFITABILITYRATIOS
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. 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. The financial manager should continuously evaluate the efficiency of company in terms of profits.
The profitability ratios are calculated to measure the operating efficiency of company. Creditors want to
get interest and repayment of principal regularly. Owners want to get a required rate of return on their
investment.
Generally, two major types of profitability ratios are calculated:
ProfitabilityRatioscanbedividedintosixtypes:
3.4.1 Gross profit ratio
3.4.2 Operating profit ratio
3.4.3 Net profit ratio
3.4.4 Return on investment
3.4.5 Earns per share
3.4.6 Operating expenses ratio
3.4.1Grossprofitratio
First profitability ratio in relation to sales is the gross profit margin 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. A high gross profit margin is a sign
of good management. A gross margin ratio may increase due to any of following factors: higher sales
prices cost of goods sold remaining constant, lower cost of goods sold, sales prices remaining constant. A
low gross profit margin may reflect higher cost of goods sold due to firm's inability to purchase raw
materials at favorable terms, inefficient utilization of plant and machinery resulting in higher cost of
production or due to fall in prices in market.
Page23
This ratio shows the margin left after meeting manufacturing costs. It measures the efficiency of
production as well as pricing. To analyze the factors underlying the variation in gross profit margin, the
proportion of various elements of cost (Labor, materials and manufacturing overheads) to sale may
studied in detail.
Gross profit
Gross profit ratio = ------------------------x 100
Net sales
3.4.2Operatingprofitratio
This ratio expresses the relationship between operating profit and sales. It is worked out by
dividing operating profit by net sales. With the help of this ratio, one can judge the managerial efficiency
which may not be reflected in the net profit ratio.
Operating profit
Operating profit ratio = ---------------------------x 100
Net sales
3.4.3Netprofitratio
Net profit is obtained when operating expenses, interest and taxes are subtracted from the gross
profit. Net profit margin ratio established a relationship between net profit and sales and indicates
management's efficiency in manufacturing, administering and selling products.
This ratio also indicates the firm's capacity to withstand adverse economic conditions. A firm with
a high net margin ratio would be in an advantageous position to survive in the face of falling selling
prices, rising costs of production or declining demand for product
This ratio shows the earning left for share holders as a percentage of net sales. It measures
overall efficiency of production, administration, selling, financing. Pricing and tax management. Jointly
considered, the gross and net profit margin ratios provide a valuable understanding of the cost and profit
structure of the firm and enable the analyst to identify the sources of business efficiency / inefficiency.
Net Profit
Net Profit Ratio = --------------------------- x 100
Net sales
Page24
3.4.4Returnoninvestment: This is one of the most important profitability ratios. It indicates the
relation of net profit with capital employed in business. Net profit for calculating return of investment
will mean the net profit before interest, tax, and dividend. Capital employed means long term funds.
E.B.I.T
Return on investment = ---------------------------------------- x 100
Capital employed
3.4.5Earningspershare
This ratio is computed by earning available to equity share holders by the total amount of equity
share outstanding. It reveals the amount of period earnings after taxes which occur to each equity share.
This ratio is an important index because it indicates whether the wealth of each share holder on a per
share basis as changed over the period.
Net profit
Earnings per share = ------------------------------------ x 100
Number of equity shares
3.4.6Operatingexpensesratio
It explains the changes in the profit margin ratio. A higher operating expenses ratio is unfavorable
since it will leave a small amount of operating income to meet interest, dividends. Operating expenses
ratio is a yardstick of operating efficiency, but it should be used cautiously. It is affected by a number of
factors such as external uncontrollable factors, internal factors. This ratio is computed by dividing
operating expenses by sales. Operating expenses equal cost of goods sold plus selling expenses and
general administrative expenses by sales.
Operating
expenses
Operating expenses ratio = ----------------------------- x 100
Sales

4.3.3Fixedassetturnoverratio
The ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed a high ratio
indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization and a low ratio reflects inefficient use of assets.
However, in interpreting this ratio, one caution should be borne in mind. When the fixed assets of the
firm are old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets turnover ratio tends to be high because the
denominator of the ratio is very low.
