INTRODUCTION ON RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio Analysis is one of the techniques of financial analysis where ratios are used
as a yardstick for evaluating the financial condition and the performance of a firm.
Analysis and interpretation of various accounting ratios gives a skilled and experienced
analyst a better understanding of the financial condition and performance of the firm than
what he could have obtained only through a perusal of financial statements.
MEANING:
Time: When one value is divided by another, the unit used to express the quotient is
termed as “Times”.
Percentage: If 100 multiply the quotient obtained, the unit of expression is termed as
“Percentage”.
Ratio Analysis provides data for inter-firm comparison. Ratios highlight the
factors associated with successful and unsuccessful firms. They also reveal strong firms
and weak firms, over – valued and undervalued firms.
Changes in firm’s data over different time periods, the ratios may provide clues on
trends and future problems.
LIMITATIONS:
Accounting ratios are subject to certain limitations. They are given below:
False results if based on incorrect accounting data:
Accounting ratios can be correct only if the data are correct. Sometimes, the
information given in the financial statements is affected by window dressing, i.e.,
showing position better than what actually.
CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS:
Ratios can be classified into different categories depending upon the basis
of classification.
TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION:
The Traditional Classification has been on the basis of the financial
statement to which the determinant of a ratio belongs. On this basis the ratios could be
classified as:
1. Profit and Loss Accounting Ratios or Revenue/income
2. Balance Sheet Ratios or position statement Ratios
3. Composite/Mixed Ratios or Inter Statement Ratios.

1. PROFITABILITY RATIO:
Profitability is an indication of the efficiency with which the operations of
the business are carried on. Poor operational performance may indicate poor sales and
hence poor profits. A lower profitability may arise due to the lack of control over the
expenses. Bankers, financial institutions and other creditors look at the profitability
ratios as an indicator whether or not the firm earns substantially more than it pay interest
for the use of the borrowed funds and whether the ultimate repayment of their debt
appears reasonably certain. Owners are interested to know the profitability as it
indicates the return, which they can get on their investments. The following are the
important profitability ratios:
In relation to Sales:
1.1 Operating Ratio:
This ratio indicates the proportion that the cost of sales bears to sales. Cost of sales
includes direct cost of goods sold as well as other operating expenses, (i.e.
administration, selling and distribution expenses) which have matching
relationship with sales. It excludes income and expenses, which have e no bearing on
production and sales, i.e., non – operating incomes and expenses as interest and dividend
received on investment, interest paid on long-term loans and debentures, profit or loss on
sale of fixed assets or long – tern investments. It is calculated as follows:
This ratio establishes the relationship between operating profit and sales and is
calculated as follows:
Operating Profit
Operating Profit ratio = ___________________ 100
Net Sales
Where,
Operating Profit Ratio = Net Profit +Non-operating Income
Or
= Gross Profit –Operating Expenses
Operating Profit ratio can also be calculated with the help of operating ratio as
follows:
Operating Profit Ratio = 100-Operating Ratio.
This ratio indicated the portion remaining out of every rupee worth of sales after all
operating costs and expenses have been met. Higher the ratio, the better it is.
Efficiency for maximizing the RIO. This ratio is very useful to the proprietors and
prospective investors because it reveals the over all profitability of the concern. This is
the ratio of net profit after taxes to net sales and is calculated as follows:
This ratio is an indicator of the earning capacity of the capital employed in the
business. This ratio is calculated as follows;
Operating Ratio
Return on Capital Employed = ---------------------------- 100
Capital Employed
Here
Operating Profit =Profit before interest and tax
This ratio considered to be the most important ratio because it reflects the overall
efficiency with which capital is used. This ratio is helpful tool for making capital
budgeting decisions.
This ratio indicated the market value of every rupee earning in the firm and is
compared with industry average. High ratio indicated the share is overvalued and low
ratio shows that share is undervalued. It is computed by the following formula:
__________________________
This ratio is calculated to measure the profit after tax against the amount invested
in total assets to ascertain whether assets are being utilized properly or not. It is calculated
as under:
2. Coverage Ratios:
These ratios indicate the extent to which the interests of the persons entitled to get
a fixed return (i.e., interest or dividend or scheduled repayments as per agreed term are
safe. The higher the cover, the cover better it is . Under this category the following ratio
are calculated:
2.1.Fixed Interest coverage Ratio:
It really measures the ability of the concern to service the debt. This ratio is very
important from lender’s point of view and indicated whether the business would earn
sufficient profits to pay periodically the interest charges. It is calculated as under :
3.TURNOVER RATIOS:
CHAPTER – III
These ratios are very important for a concern to judge how well facilities at the
disposal of the concern are being used or to measure the effectiveness with which a
concern use its disposal. In short, these will indicate position of assets usage. These ratios
are usually calculated on the basis of sales or cost of sales and are expressed in number of
items rather than as a percents/age. The greater the ratio more will be efficiency of asset
usage. The lower ration will reflect the under utilization of the resources available at the
command of the concern.
The following are the important turnover ratios usually calculated by a concern.
It denotes the speed at which the inventory will be converted into sales, these by
contributing for the profits of the concern. It will be higher when sales are maximum and
the average inventory is minimum. This ratio establishes relationship between cost of
goods sold during a given period and the average amount of inventory held during the
period. This ratio reveals the number of times finished stock is turned over during a given
accounting period. Higher the ratio, the better it is because it shows the finished stock is
rapidly turned-over.
__________________
Average Stock
Where,
Closing stock.
A firm sells goods on credit and cash basis. When the firm extends credits to
its customers, book debts (debtors) are created in the firm’s accounts. Debtors Are
expected to be converted into cash over a short period and, therefore, are included in
current assets. The liquidity position of the firm depends on the quality of debtors to great
extent.
_____________
Net Debtors
The Debtor’s Turnover Ratio indicates the numbers of times on the average
that debtor’s turnover each year. A high ratio is indicative of shorter time lag between
credit sales and cash collection. A low ratio shows that debts are not being collected
rapidly.
The fixed assets Turnover Ratio measures the efficiency with which the firm is
utilizing its investments is fixed assets, such as land, buildings, plant and machinery
furniture etc. it also indicates the adequacy of sales in relation to the investment in fixed
assets. The fixed assets turnover ratio is sales divided by net fixed assets.
Sales
This ratio indicates the sales generated per rupee of investment in total assets.
Although fixed assets also contributes to the production and sales activities of the firm.
The Firm must manage its total assets efficiently and should generate maximum sales
though their proper utilization .
Sales
Total Assets Turnover Ratio = __________________
Total Assets
As this ratio increases, there is more revenue generated per rupee of total
investment in assets. The firm’s ability to produce a large volume of sales on a small total
assets base is an important part of the firm’s overall performance in terms of profits.
This ratio shows the number of times working capital is turned-over is a stated
period. It is calculated as follows:
Sales
The higher is the ratio, the lower is the investment in working capital and the greater
are the profits. However, a very high turnover of working capital is a sign of overtrading
and may put the concern into financial difficulties. On the other hand, a low working
capital turnover ratio indicates that working capital is not efficiently utilized.
Capital Employed Turnover ratio may be defined as net fixed assets plus working capital.
Sales
Capital Employed Turnover Ratio =______________
Capital Employed
This ratio indicates the firm’s ability of generating sales per rupee of long-term
investment. The higher the ratio, the more efficient the utilization of owners and long-
term creditors funds.
4.FINANCIAL RATIOS:
Financial Ratios indicate about the financial position of the company. A company
is deemed to be financially sound if it is in a position to carry on its business smoothly
and meet its obligations, both short-term as well as long-term, without strain.
1.Liquidity Ratios
2.Stability Ratios
These are the ratios, which measure the short-term solvency or financial position
of a firm. These ratios are calculated to comment upon the short-term paying capacity of
concern or the firm’s ability to meet its current obligations. The various Liquidity ratios
are: Current Ratio, Liquid Ratio and absolute liquid ratio. Further to see the efficiency
with which the liquid resources have been employed by a firm, debtor’s turns over ratios
are calculated.
Current Ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and
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. It is calculated by dividing the total of current assets by total of the
current liabilities.
Current Assets
Current Ratio = _________________________
Current Liabilities
Current assets mean assets that will either be used up or converted into cash
within a year’s time. Current liabilities mean liabilities payable within a years or during
The operating cycle. Book debts outstanding for more than 6 months and loose tools
should not be included in current assets. Prepaid expenses should be taken as current
assets.
The Quick Ratio or acid test is a mere measure of the firm’s liquidity. As an asset
is liquid, if it can be converted into cash immediately or reason all soon without a loss of
value. Cash is the most liquid asset. The quick ratio is found out by dividing the total of
the quick assets by total current liabilities. The quick or aid test ratio called “Prepaid
Ratio”. expenses and stock are not taken as liquid assets.
Quick Assets
Quick Ratio= ____________________
Current Liabilities
Cash ratio is the most liquid assets. Cash ratio is the ratio of cash and its
equivalent to current liabilities. Trade investment or marketable securities are equivalent
of cash. Therefore, they may be included in computation of cash ratio.
Current Liabilities
Inventory
Ratio of Inventory to Working Capital = ____________
Working Capital
Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Increase in
volume of sales requires increase in size of inventory, but from a sound financial point of
view, inventory should not exceed amount of working capital. The desirable ratio is 1:1.
These ratios help in ascertaining the long term solvency of a firm which depends
on firm’s adequate resources to meet its long term funds requirements, appropriate debt
equity mix to raise long term funds and earnings to pay interest and installment of long
term long in time (i.e., coverage ratios). The following ratios can be calculated for this
purpose:
This ratio explains whether the firm has raised adequate long term funds to meet
its fixed assets requirements and is calculated as under
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets Ratio = ______________________________
Capital Employed
This ratio gives an idea as to what part of the capital employed has been used in
purchasing the fixed assets for the concern. If the ratio is less than I it is good for the
concern. The ideal ratio is 0.67.
4.2.2.Debt-Equity Ratio :
The debt equity ratio is determined to ascertain the soundness of the long-term
financial policies of the company. It is also known as “External-Internal” equity ratio. It
may be calculated as follows:
Shareholder’s Equity
4.2.3. Debt Ratio:
Debt ratio is used to analyze the long-term solvency of a firm. It helps in knowing
the proportion of the interest bearing debt in the capital structure. Debt ratio
Capital Employed
This ratio will differ from industry to industry and, therefore, no standard can be
laid down. A decrease in the ratio may mean that trading is slack or more mechanization
has been put through. An increase in the ration may reveal that inventories and debtors
have unduly increased or fixed assets have been intensively used. An increase in the ratio,
accompanied by increase in profit, indicates the business is expending.
Current Assets
Ratio of Current Assets to Fixed Assets = -------------------------
Fixed Assets
5.LEVERAGE RATIOS:
T
This leverage ratio explains the extent to which the debt is employed in the
capital structure of the concerns. The basic facility of debt funds is that after tax cost of
them. Will be significantly lower and which can be paid back depending upon their terms
of issue. If earnings are more than the fixed cost of the funds, it is called favorable. An
unfavorable leverage exists if the rate of return remains to be lower.
5.1 Operating Leverage Ratio:
Operating Leverages related to the fixed costs of the firms. If the fixed costs of
the firm are relatively large, substantial portion of its contribution margin is appropriated
to cover these fixed costs. The significance of operating leverage lies in the fact that it
tells the finance manager about the impact of change in sales revenue and operating
income. It is tells the finance manager about the impact of change in sales revenue and
operating income. It is calculated by the following formula;
When a firm procures debt capital to fiancé its needs, it is said to have
financial leverage. It tells the extent of the change in earnings before tax(EBT) due to
change in operating income(EBIT). It is calculated with the help of the following
formula :
Gross Profit Ratio Express the relationship of gross profit to net sales or
turnover. Gross Profit is the excess of the proceeds of goods sold and services
rendered during a period over their cost, before taking into account administration,
selling and distribution and financing charges, Gross Profit is expressed as follows:
Gross Profit
-----------------------------
Net Sales
Any fluctuations in the Gross Profit Ratio are the result of a change either in
‘Sales’ or the ‘Cost of Goods Sold’ or both.

COMMENTS:
This negative growth is due to the higher the cost of goods sold than
sales.
The ratio of all operating expenses (i.e., materials used, labour, factory
overheads office and selling expenses) to sales in the operating ratio.
It is not necessary that the management should be concerned only when the
operating ratio goes up. If the operating ration has fallen, though the unit selling
price has remained the same, still the position needs analysis as it may be sum total
of efficiency in certain departments and in efficiency in others.

A high Proprietary ratio Will indicate a relatively little danger to creditors viz. A
low proprietary ratio indicates greater risk to the creditors. In this firm past six
financial years the proprietary ratio is not up to the mark, in the firm’s total assets
the proprietary funds have a very little share.
In this firm the ratio is declining from year 2009-2010to 2014-2015. The rationale
is better in the year 2009-10, where as when it comes to current situation it
becomes worse.
This shows the Relationship between fixed assets and shareholder’s funds. This
ratio indicates the extent to which shareholders funds are sunk into the fixed assets. If the
ratio is less than 100% it implies that owners funds are more than that assets. If this ratio
is more than 100% a part of share funds are converted into working capital. The main
purpose of this ratio is to calculate the percentage of the owner’s funds invested in fixed
assets.
This ratio can be calculated with help of the following

less when compared with previous year.
Fixed assets to Net worth ratio has stood at 3.36 in the year 2014-2015, this is
because due to an increase in the net fixed assets during the year.

compared to remaining years due to a little variance between current assets and
current liabilities.
Net working Capital has been decreased from Rs. 1,95,988 to Rs.8,40,530 in the
year 2004-05, when compared to previous years, due to greater decrease in current
assets than the current liabilities.

liabilities. It is expressed as follows:
Current assets
Current Ratio = -------------------------------
Current Liabilities
Current Assets mean that will either be used up or converted into cash with in a year’s
time or during the normal operating cycle of the business, whichever is longer. Current
liabilities mean liabilities payable with in a year or during the operating cycle,whichever
is longer, out of the existing current assets or by creation of current liabilities.
An ideal current ratio is 2. The Ratio of 2 is considered as a safe margin of
solvency due to the fact that if the Current Assets are reduced to half i.e., I instead of 2,
then also the creditors will be to get payments in full. A high current Ratio is also not
desirable since it means inefficient use of funds.

meet form
2. Company haring good quick ratio i.e., it is above standard . So should maintain in
future also.
Thus, debtors are excluded from liquid assets for the purpose of computing
super quick Ratio . Current liabilities and liquid liabilities have the same meaning
as explained above . The Ratio is the most vigorous measure of the firm’s
liquidity position . However, it is not widely used in practice
