Ratio Analysis RATIO ANALYSIS
1. INTRODUCTION
The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial analysis. It is used as a
device to analyze and interpret the financial health of enterprise. With the help of ratios
that the financial statements can be analyzed more clearly and decisions made from such
analysis. Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and
weakness of the firm y properly establishing relationship between the items of balance
sheet and the profit and loss account. There are various methods or techniques used in
analyzing financial statements. By the use of ratio analysis one can measure the financial
conditions of a firm and can point out whether the conditions is strong, good,
questionable or poor.
Analysis and interpretation of financial statement with the help of ratio is termed
as Ratio analysis.
It is process of identifying the financial strengths and weakness of the firm. This
may be accomplished either through a trend analysis of the firm over a period of time or
through a comparison of the firm ratios with its nearest competitors and with the industry
averages
Ratio analysis was pioneered by Alexander Wall, who presented a system of ratio
analysis in the year 1909. Alexander’s contention was that interpretation of financial
statements can be made either by establishing quantitative relationships between various
items of financial statements.

Ratio Analysis
Standards of comparison
The ratio analysis involves comparison for a use of full interpretation. A single
ratio in itself does not indicate favourable or unfavourable condition. It should be
compared with some standards. Standards of comparison may consist.
1. Ratios calculated from the past financial statement of the firm.
2. Ratios developed using the projected, or proforma of financial statements of the
same firm.
3. Ratios of some selected firm’s, especially the most progressive and successful, at
same point in the time, and
4. Ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.
The easiest way to evaluate the performance of a firm is to compare its ratios with
the past ratios. When financial ratios over a period of time are compared it is known as
the time series. It gives an indication of the direction of change and reflects whether the
firm’s financial performance has improved, deteriorated or remained constant over time.
The analyst should not simply determine the change, but more importantly, he should
understand why ratios have changed. The change may be affected by changes in the
accounting polices without a material changes in the firm’s performance.
Sometimes ratios are used as the standard of comparison. Future ratios can be
developed from the projected or proforma of financial statements. The comparison of
past ratios with future ratios shows the firm’s relative strengths and weakness in the past
and future.
If the ratios indicate weak financial position, corrective actions should be initiated.
Another way of comparison is to compare ratios of firm with some selected firms in the
same industry at the same point in time. This kind of comparison indicates the relative
financial position and performance of the firm.
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 2
Ratio Analysis
To determine the financial condition and performance of a firm, its ratios
compare with average ratios of the industry analysis, helps to ascertain the financial
standing and capability of the firm in the industry to which it belong. Industry ratios are
important standards in view of the fact that each industry has its characteristics, which
influence the financial and operating relationship.
1.1 Meaning of ratios
A ratio is a mathematical relationship between two items expressed in a
quantitative form.
Ratio can be defined as “Relationship in quantization forms, between figures
which have cause and effect relationship or which are connected with each other in some
manner or the other”.
Ratio analysis is an age old technique of financial analysis. The
information provided by the financial statements in absolute form is and conveying very
little meaning to the users.
Advantage or Importance of ratio analysis
1. The Ability of corporation to meet its current obligations i.e., liquidity position.
2. Ratio analysis provides data for inter firm comparison. Ratios highlights the
factors associated with successful & unsuccessful firms corporations.
3. The efficiency of .the Corporation is. Utilizing its various assets in generating
sales revenue.
4. The extent to which the firms has used its ling-term solvency for borrowing funds.
5. The overall operating efficiency & performance of the corporation

Ratio Analysis
Limitations of ratio analysis
1. Comparison between two variables, prove worth provided their basis of valuation
is identical. But in reality, it is not possible, such as method of valuation of stock-
in-trade, or charging different methods of depreciation of fixed assets etc.
2. Ratio depends on the figure of the financial statement. But in most cases, the
figures are window dressed.
3. Ratio analysis became more meaningful and significant if trend analysis (i.e., the
analysis over a number of years) is possible, but in practice, it is difficult all the
time.
4. Ratio are calculated jointly on the basis of past result which may not be suited to
implement to the present business polices.
5. It is very difficult to ascertain the normal or standard ratio in order to make proper
comparison. Because, it differs from firm to firm, industry to industry.
1.2 Types of ratios
Several ratios, calculated from the accounting data, can be grouped into classes
according to financial activity or function to be evaluated. The parties interested in
financial analysis are short-term and long-term creditors, owners and management. Short-
term creditor’s main interest is in the liquidity position or short-term solvency of the firm,
long-term solvency and profitability of the firm. Similarly, concentrate on the firm’s
profitability and financial condition. Management is interested in evaluation of every
aspect of the firm’s performance. They have to protect the interests of all parties and see
that the firm grows profitably.
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 4
Ratio Analysis
The requirement of the various of ratios, we may classify them into the following four
important categories.
1. Liquidity ratios
2. Leverage ratios
3. Activity ratios
4. Profitability ratios
1. Liquidity ratios
It is extremely essential for a firm to meet its obligations as they
become due. Liquidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current
obligations. In fact, analysis of liquidity needs the preparation of cash budgets and
fund flow statements, but liquidity ratios, by establishing a relationship between cash
and other current assets to current obligations, provide a quick measure of liquidity.
A firm should ensure that if not suffer from lack of liquidity, and also it does not have
excess liquidity. The failure of a company to meet its obligations due to lack of
sufficient liquidity, will result in a poor credit worthiness, loss of creditor’s
confidence, or even legal tangles resulting in the closure of the company. 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 and lack of liquidity.
The most common ratios, which indicate the extent of liquidity or lack of it, are:
Current ratio
The current ratio is the ratio of the total current assets to total current
liabilities. It is calculated as:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 5
Ratio Analysis
The current assets of the firm include cash and bank balances and those assets
which can be converted into cash within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors
and inventories. Pre-paid expenses, bills receivable accrued income are also included in
current assets.
Current liabilities include creditor’s bills payable, accrued expenses, short term
bank loan, income tax liability and long debt maturing in current year.
Quick ratio or acid-test ratio
Quick ratio established a relationship between quick or liquid assets and current
liabilities. The quick ratio is found out by dividing quick assets by current liabilities.
Quick assets includes assets which can be converted into cash immediately
without a loss of value such as cash and bank balance, book debts (debtors and bills
receivables) and marketable securities (temporary quoted investments). Inventories are
not included in quick assets because they require time for converting into cash and also
their value may fluctuate. Quick Ratio = Current Assets – Inventories / Current
Liabilities.
Cash ratio
Cash ratio establishes a relationship between cash and cash equalent and
current liabilities. To get the cash ratio only absolute liquid assets and readily
realizable securities are taken into consideration. A cash ratio of 0.5 to 1 is considered
as satisfactory.
Cash ratio= cash & bank + marketable securities/current liabilities
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 6
Ratio Analysis
Net working capital ratio
Working capital ratio is the difference between the current assets and
current liabilities. The amount of working capital in some times used as a measure of
the firms liquidity. It is considered that if a firm has more working capital ratios has
the greater ability to meet its current obligations.
Working capital ratio= current assets-current liabilities / net asset
2. Leverage ratios
The process of magnifying the shareholder’s return through
the employment of debt is called “trading on equity”. To judge the long term financial
position of the firm, financial leverage or capital structure ratios are calculated. The ratios
indicate funds provided by owners and lenders. As a general rule there should be
appropriate mix of debt and owners equity in financing the firm’s assets.
The use of debt magnifies the shareholders’ earning as well as increases their
risk and firm’s ability of using debt for the benefit of shareholder. Basically these are
prepares to know the extent which operating profits are sufficient to cover the fixed
charges.
The following are the some of the important leverage ratios:
Debt-equity ratio
The debt equity ratio is an important tool of financial analysis to appraise the
financial structure of a firm. Debt equity ratio is the measure of relative claims of
creditors and owners the firm’s assets. So it has an important implication form the
creditor and owners point of view of the firm.
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 7
Ratio Analysis
The debt equity ratio cab be calculated by dividing total debt by net worth.
Debt Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Net worth.
Total-debt ratio
The total debt ratio can be calculated by dividing total debt by capital
employed or total net assets. The total debt will include short and long term borrowings
from financial institutions. Capital employed will include total debt and net worth or net
assets consists of net fixed (long term) assets minus current liabilities excluding interest
bearing short term debt. Total Debt Ratio= Total Debt/capital employed
Capital employed to net worth ratio or Equity ratio
The ratio can be calculated by dividing capital employed
or net assets by net worthy. Network includes share capital and reserves and surplus.
Generally, capital employed or net assets to net worth ratio should be more than one.
Capital employed of NA = capital employed / Net worth
3. Activity ratios
The funds of creditors and owners are invested in various assets to generate sales
and profits, the better assets management, the large amount of sales. Activity ratios are
employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm manages and utilizes its assets.
These ratios are also called as turnover ratios, because they indicate the speed with which
assets are being converted or turned into sales.
The following are the important activity ratios, which will evaluate the efficiency of
the firm:
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 8
Ratio Analysis
Inventory turnover ratio
This ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm in selling its product and also
shows how rapidly the inventory is turning into receivables through sales.
The ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average
inventory. Cost of goods sold is sales- gross profit of purchases + direct expenses+
opening stock+ manufacturing expenses – closing stock. Average inventory is the
average of opening and closing balances of inventory.
Generally a high inventory turnovers indicative of good inventory management
and a low inventory turnover suggests an inefficient inventory management. Further a
low inventory turnover implies excessive inventory levels than warranted by production
and sales activities, or a slow moving of obsolete inventory, a high level of sluggish
inventory amounts to unnecessary tie up of funds, reduced profit and increased costs.
Therefore a balance should be maintained between too high and too low inventory
turnovers.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Stock.
Working capital turnover ratio
The ratio show the firm is able to generate sales by using its limited
resources of working capital. The firm may also take the ratio relating to net current
assets to sales. If the ratio is more it indicates efficient working capital management and
if it is less we can say it is inefficient in working capital management.
The networking capital turnover ratio can be computed by dividing sales by
networking capital. Working capital is current assets minus current liabilities.
Working Capital Turnover = Sales / Net Working capital.
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 9
Ratio Analysis
Debtors turnover ratio
A firm sells goods for cash and credit bases, when the firm extends credits to its
customers, book debts (debtors or receivables) are created the firms account and they are
expected to be converted into cash over a short period of time, so these are included in
current assets. The liquidity of the firm depends on the quality of debtors to great extent.
To judge the quality of liquidity of debtors, we have to calculate the debt turnover ratio
and average collection period.
The debt turnover ratio is calculated by dividing credit sales by average debtors.
When the information regarding credit sales and opening and closing balance of debtors
may not be available, then debtor turnover ratio can be calculated by dividing total sales
by the yearend balance of debtors.
Generally the higher the value of debtor’s turnover, the more efficient is the
management of credit.
Average collection period is calculated to know the nature of the firm’s credit
policy and the quality of the debtors more clearly. It can be calculated by days in a year
divided by debtors turnover of debtors by sales multiplied by 360 days.
The shorter the average collection period, the better the quality of debtors, as a
short collection period implies the prompt payment by debtors.
Debtors turnover ratio = sales/debtors
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 10
Ratio Analysis
Debtors Collection period
The average number of days for which debtors remain outstanding is
called the average collection and can be computed as follows:
Debtors collection period = no. of days in a year / debtors turn over ratio
(or)
Avg debtors /sales*365
The less collection period leads to the worthiness of the debtors.
4. Profitability ratios
Profit is the difference between revenues and expenses over a period of
time (usually one year). Profit is the ultimate output of a company, and it will have no
future if it fails to make sufficient profits. Therefore, the financial manager should
continuously evaluate the efficiency of the company in term of profits.
The profitability ratios are calculated to measure the operating efficiency of
the company. Besides management of the company, owners are also interested in the
profitability of the firm. Creditors want to get interest and repayment of principal
regularly. Owners want to get a required rate of return on their investment. This is
possible only when the company earns enough profits. The following are the some of the
important profitability ratios:
Gross profit ratio
It is the first profitability ratio calculated in relation to sales. This ratio can
be called as gross profit margin of gross margin ratio. This ratio establishes a relationship
between gross profit and sales to measure the efficiency of the firm and it reflects its
pricing policy.
SSITS, RAYACHOTY Page 11
Ratio Analysis
The ratio is calculated by dividing the gross profit by sales. A high gross profit
margin indicates that the firm is able to produce at relatively lower cost and it is also a
sigh of good management.
Whereas as a low gross profit margin reflects a higher cost of goods sold
due to the firm’s inefficient management.
Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales * 100
Net profit ratio
Net Profit Margin Ratio establishes a relationship between net
profit and sales of the firm. It indicates the management’s ability to earn sufficient profit
on sales to cover all operating expenses, the cost of merchandising of servicing and also
should have a sufficient margin to pay reasonable compensation to shareholders. A high
ratio shows better and low ratio shows the opposite.
The net profit is calculated by dividing the net profit after tax by sales, N.P. is
obtained when operating expenses, interest and taxes are deducted from gross profit.
Net Profit Ratio = profit after tax / sales * 100
Operating profit ratio
The operating profit can be calculated by dividing operating profit by net sales.
The operating profits includes net profit = non operating expenses (interest to be paid,
income tax, loss on sale of assets) minus non operating income (interest on dividend,
profit on sale of asset) or gross profit minus operating expenses (administrative and
selling expenses). Operating profit ratio = operating profit / net sales.

5.1 LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Current ratio
Current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by current liabilities.
Current assets include cash and those assets that can be converted into cash within a
year , such as marketable securities , debtors and inventories .prepaid expenses also
includes in current assets .current liabilities include creditors , bills payable , arrived
expenses , short term bank loan , income tax liability and long term debt maturing in the
current year.
Current ratio represents a margin of safety for creditors. Current ratio of 2 to 1 or
more is considered satisfactory. The higher the current ratio the greater the margin of
safety. The larger the amount of current assets in ratio to current liabilities the more the
firms ability to meet its current obligations.

Working capital turn over ratio
In this ratio numerator is sales and denominator is net working
capital. It shows how many times net working capital goes into sales. Higher the
ratio, the lower the investment tied in working capital and vice versa. Very high
working capital turnover is not desirable, since it pushes the enterprise into financial
stracts. Lower magnitude of the ratio is a reflection of low utilization of working
capital.
Sales Working capital turnover ratio = ------------------------------------- Working Capital
Net working capital = total current assets – total current liabilities

the company.
• The debt equity ratio is to be improved as the low debt equity implies a greater
claim of owners than creditors.

increase the profitability of the company.
• Debtor’s turnover ratio was too high due to increased sales, Hence the company is
suggested to take precaution to avoid bad debts.
